Chapter 147: Her Responsibilities and Obligations
After less than two quarters of an hour they found another cave, deeper and greater than the one before, and it was impossible to see all the way to the end, but it was enough to take refuge at the mouth of the cave.
It was night, cloudy and deserted.
There is not a single star in sight in the night sky.
They made a fire, made some roasted meat, and after eating, they rested to their own ears.
There was silence, and there was hardly any noise.
But just as they were about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard a scream, not like a human voice, nor like the cry of an ordinary beast, but very high-pitched, with a piercing sense of fear.
Qin Wan's martial arts are not low, and his five senses are even more keen.
When they heard the monster's voice, they immediately became vigilant.
"Master, go down and take a look." Fuchikage picked up his sword and stood up.
Before Xiao Yan could speak, Qin Wan said, "I'll go with you." ”
She now suspects that the snow-capped mountains here are the same as the Changning Snow Mountains, and under the thick snow, there are unknown monsters hidden.
Zang Qi had experienced Changning Snow Mountain with Qin Wan, and seeing Qin Wan's serious expression, he also stood up with his sword and said, "I'll go too." ”
"Then let's go together." Xiao Yan said.
A few people came out of the cave, Xiao Yan came to Qin Wan's side and said, "Do you know something?" ”
Qin Wan did not hide it, "When I was in Changning Snow Mountain, I once encountered a few monsters in the Snow Mountain, which were similar to the giant snake encountered in the Yellow Sky Desert, and they seemed to be mutated creatures. ”
If it was such a monster, they couldn't deal with it, and they could only kill it with the cannonball in her hand.
Xiao Yan didn't go to Changning Snow Mountain, and after coming back, Qin Wan and the others didn't mention the matter of Changning Snow Mountain again.
It turned out that they had also encountered monsters in Changning Snow Mountain.
He was about to say something when suddenly a shrill scream came from afar.
Qin Wan immediately made a gesture to silence, and everyone cautiously rushed to the sound.
In the distance was a not-so-deep moat, from which the sound came from.
When they came to the edge of the ice trench, they couldn't help but take a cold breath when they saw the scene under the ice trench.
Beneath the ice trench, a huge spider with a foot wide was eating a green scorpion, which was only a little smaller than the spider's size, and the scream just now was probably the sound they made when they fought.
At this moment, the green scorpion was motionless, and the spider used its front two legs to pull the scorpion over, and began to spin silk non-stop, wrapping the green scorpion.
This scene is simply a numb scalp to watch, such a huge spider and scorpion should not exist in this world at all.
"Retreat one after another." Xiao Yan glanced at Qin Wan and said silently.
Qin Wan didn't act rashly, although she could use a bomb to blow up this spider to death, but her bombs were not endless, and there would be one less with one.
She didn't know how many of these monsters there were, so she had to save some of them.
The people withdrew together to the cave.
Everyone looked solemn, and no one was the first to speak.
After a while, Xiao Yan said: "Don't worry about it for now, let's go find a water source first, and then find a way to deal with that monster after we find out the situation here." ”
"If there was only this one, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with."
"But before in Changning Snow Mountain, there were three tentacle monsters, and those three, one in the water, one in the magma, and the other in the snow, could all walk freely."
"That monster in the Yellow Sky Desert seems to be able to gather wind and sand, of course, it may just be a coincidence."
"However, on the safe side, we still have to be prepared for this monster to have special abilities, and there may be more than one."
Qin Wan analyzed.
Zang Qi groaned and couldn't help but say, "That scorpion is also a monster, right?" ”
Xiao Yan said: "Over the years, I have never heard of these monsters, maybe they will only operate on the snowy mountains. ”
In this case, there is no danger to the people under the mountain.
Qin Wan said: "We will continue to look for water sources early tomorrow morning, and by the way, find out the situation here, and don't alarm them for the time being." ”
If this kind of guy has a litter, she can directly take a litter and deal with it all at once, which can save a lot of bombs and trouble.
On this night, although there were shifts and vigils, everyone did not sleep well.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, they set out to continue their search for water.
About Mo turned over two more hills, and saw a heavenly pond about dozens of zhang wide, with a thick layer of ice on the entire surface.
"There can't be monsters under the water, right?" Zang Qi couldn't help but complain.
Qin Wan said: "Let's not get close first, this should be the source of the Xiliang River, we have to find the living water that flows out from here, but the living water is likely to flow out from the ground, let's look for it in the southeast and downstream." ”
She said as she looked in the direction she was coming from.
In addition to the highest main peak, this can be said to be the second highest place in the Xiliang Snow Mountain.
Looking down from here, you can see most of the snow-capped mountains.
But looking at the distance, she sighed.
If you really want to dig a ditch and build a ditch, it's really a big project!
"Look, it's Xilianghe!"
Zang Qi climbed to a high place and saw the meandering river in the distance, like a thin long snake.
It's winter now, and the water in the Xiliang River is pitiful.
But if it is used for drinking, it is completely sufficient.
And all the people came to that high place.
On the side of Xiliang Country, because of the water of the Xiliang River, the forests are much more lush than on the other side.
From them, they could only see the position where the river flowed out from the foot of the Xiliang Snow Mountain.
The inside of the mountains is hidden by the trees.
And at the foot of the Naxi Liangxue Mountain, there are several peaks separated from here, which is even more difficult to judge.
"We went down from this direction, left the snow line, first found the location of the Xiliang River, and then went all the way upstream to find the location of the living water." Qin Wan said.
Several people went down the mountain from the ice pond in the direction of Xiliang Kingdom.
On the way, Qin Wan's expression was a little solemn.
She couldn't help but think about these monsters she had encountered, could this be the reason why she came to this world? Clean up these monsters?
Or maybe these monsters came into the world because of her?
Qin Wan couldn't figure it out, but she vaguely felt that she should have the responsibility and obligation to dispose of these monsters, after all, apart from her, no one in this world had a lethal weapon like a cannonball.
I always feel that the direction of this world is getting stranger and stranger.
In the evening, they found a cave to rest, and when Qin Wan was about to take out the dry food he brought, suddenly in the snow in front of him, a piece of snow white rushed out quickly.
