Not far into the hole, the surroundings became pitch black, and when you looked back at the hole, it was nothing more than a small glowing dot.

When I first entered the cave, the cave was not spacious, and it seemed to be walking an uphill path all the time.

Shao Xi wondered in his heart, aren't the legendary treasures generally hidden underground?

Even if it is hidden in a mountain, it is usually deep underground under the mountain, so why does this hole feel like it is going higher and higher? Could it be that this Jinwu Mountain is really empty?

The way up was a long way, and at this time the cave was dark except for the light of a few people's torches, and every step forward had to be very careful, and no one knew what the next step would be on.

Shao Xi felt that he had walked for three or four hundred meters in the dark, and the terrain suddenly turned flat, and the feeling of going uphill disappeared.

But before I could take a few steps, I felt something soft and slimy under my feet.

Not only Shao Xi himself, but several other people also seemed to have stepped on these things, and several people hurriedly lowered the torches to check their feet.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, almost everyone will spit it out at a glance.

In front of me, a milky white slime spread all over the ground, emitting a foul fishy smell, mixed with some bones and the remains of some bird feathers.

Shao Xi covered his nose with his sleeve and asked to himself, "What the hell is this?" Why is it so disgusting? ”

Nabihai seemed to be much calmer, and when he saw Shao Xi asking, he replied casually: "These are the feces of that thing outside."

"There are a lot of such things in the desert, and some of the bigger ones look like this, but the one outside is very big, so there are so many of them."

Shao Xi retched again after hearing this, and he didn't expect that at this time, a few people were standing in the toilet of the dragon horned lizard, how could this guy defecate everywhere in the place where he lived?

At this time, since they have already walked in, they have all stepped on it, no matter how much they dislike it, it is useless, so they can only continue to move forward.

These milky white slimy things, the soles of their feet slip from time to time when they step on them, and several people support each other and move forward a little bit.

When they walked uphill again, Shao Xi was almost sure that what they had just passed was the place where the dragon horned lizard was specially discharged.

Because although the ground at this time is still slippery, there are no dirty things like before, and only a few people still have a lot of dirt on their feet.

This uphill distance is much shorter, probably less than 100 meters, and the terrain turns flat again.

This time, Shao Xi had a long memory, and hurriedly shone the ground with a torch, and found that the stones in the mountain were covered with moss, which means that there must be a dark river in the mountain or under the mountain, otherwise the cave would not be so wet.

After stepping on the mossy ground and walking forward for a short time, the terrain changed from the initial uphill to the downhill.

If the uphill road is difficult, then the downhill road is even more difficult, the ground is already a little slippery, and the downhill is getting steeper and steeper.

It became more and more difficult to control the balance under your feet when going downhill, and eventually people kept slipping and falling, covering their bodies with wet moss.

I don't know how long it took to slide like this, Shao Xi felt that there was a heavy damp aura at the bottom of this slope, and after walking for a while, this damp aura became heavier and heavier.

This also verified Shao Xi's previous conjecture that there must be a dark river passing under this mountain, which caused the cave to be so wet.

At this time, several people had already gone deep into the interior of the mountain, only to feel wet and stuffy, and even it became difficult to breathe.

Lao Wu said to Shao Xi with some humility: "I've walked in so far, I still haven't seen anything, I don't know what will be inside, I can't see it, let's go out!" ”

Shao Xi couldn't see the expression on Lao Wu's face clearly under the faint light of the torch in the dark, but listening to the tone of his voice, this old guy was probably a little timid.

From the moment I entered the cave to the present, I have been walking forward endlessly, although I have not found any forks in the road, but staying in this dark and confined space for a long time will cause a lot of pressure in the hearts of normal people.

But now that I've walked so far, if I go back like this, wouldn't the work ahead be all a wasted delay?

Shao Xi said a little unwillingly: "Don't worry, let's go forward and take a look!" Since you've come here, if you don't find out, won't you come in for nothing? ”

Nabihai, who had been walking in the front, turned around and said to Shao Xi and the others: "I also think that Shao Gongzi is right, since they have already gone so far, it is better to take a look further, I also think there must be something down here." ”

Fu Biao and Wu Qiu'er also said that as long as Shao Xi goes, they will follow wherever they go, and Lao Wu saw that everyone was so unanimous, so it was naturally not good to say anything more.

Although he was a little uneasy at this moment, he still followed Shao Xi and the others along this downhill slope.

I don't know how long they walked, but they came to an open cave.

When I raised the torch and looked around, I found that there were stone walls except for the entrance, and there was no passage to the other place.

"Dead end?"

Shao Xi's tone couldn't help but reveal a trace of unwillingness and regret, he thought that he would find something in it after coming in, but he didn't want it to be just a bigger cave.

It seems that this is the usual habitat of the dragonhorned lizard, as large pieces of snakeskin-like things can be seen faintly on the ground here.

Shao Xi knew that lizards could also molt, so it could be seen that this was the dragon's horned lizard's lair.

When I finally came here, I saw a few pieces of old skin from the dragon horned lizard, which really made Shao Xi feel unhappy.

"It looks like this is the old nest of the thing outside, there shouldn't be anything else except these disgusting things, it's a pity to come in vain after spending so much effort."

Fu Biao shone the torch around, muttering to himself in his mouth, and it could be seen that he was also a little disappointed in the empty cave in front of him.

Lao Wu shone the ground with a torch while bypassing the lizard skins that had faded from the dragon horn lizards and came to Shao Xi's side.

"Could it be that we are thinking too much, and the royal treasure of Wuhai Country is not here at all, but somewhere else?"

At this time, Shao Xi was also disappointed, he looked at the empty cave, and also felt that his previous judgment was a little wrong, how could the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom be hidden in the nest of a big lizard?

Maybe it's really thinking too much.

So he sighed helplessly, and said to a few people around him: "Everyone is tired after walking so far, take a rest, and when we turn around, we will leave here and go to see elsewhere." ”

While everyone was drinking water and resting, Nabihai showed interest in the cave.

I saw him holding a torch and walking slowly along the stone wall of the cave, observing every stone on the stone wall through the light of the torch.

The stone walls were covered with moss because of the perennial dampness, and they grew like human hair.

Nabihai picked up a stone from the ground and kept tapping the stone wall with the stone in his hand as he looked at it, as if he was looking for something on the stone wall.

Shao Xi stood there and watched Nabihai's actions, and he admired this young man's curiosity and spirit of not giving up.

It seems that he is not willing to come in vain, so he wants to find something from the stone wall of this cave, but Shao Xi estimates that there is a high probability that his efforts will be in vain.

With such a big cave and such a dead end, is it possible to hope to find something from behind this stone wall?

However, although he thought so in his heart, he did not say anything to stop Nabihai, regardless of whether it made sense for Nabihai to do this, at least he was doing something that several others did not do, proving that he did not give up as easily as himself.

So Shao Xi stepped forward with a torch to help Nabihai add some light, and at the same time asked, "Do you think there will be other roads behind this stone wall?" ”

Nabihai shook his head, and only replied to Shao Xi, "I don't know, I just want to try, in case we find something, we won't come in vain!" ”

Shao Xi nodded, he had to admit that Nabihai was right, in a hopeless situation, although it seemed pointless to do this, it was better than doing nothing.

As he said, you might find something by giving it a try.

So Shao Xi followed Nabihai and knocked along the stone wall all the way, almost knocking the stone wall of the cave, but there was nothing special to find.

Shao Xi saw that this was the case, so he completely gave up, but what he didn't expect was that Nabihai didn't seem to give up, and took the stone and knocked it back along the same road.

At this time, Shao Xi felt that this young man Nabihai was a little dead-eyed, the stone wall in this cave had been knocked around by him and he didn't find anything, why did he have to knock it again with such perseverance?

Looking at Nabihai, Shao Xi still didn't say anything, but at this time, he no longer followed Nabihai, but stood in place and watched him stop and go, knock and knock like this.

Shao Xi was thinking, maybe he would die after this lap, right?

To Shao Xi and the others' surprise, this time when Nabihai knocked on a certain part of the stone wall, he stopped, and kept beating the stone in his hand repeatedly, and changed positions from time to time.

Nabihai seemed to have found something on that stone wall, Shao Xi couldn't help but step forward and asked Nabihai, "Nabihai, did you find anything?" ”

Nabihai didn't reply to Shao Xi's words, but continued to bang on the stone wall very intently, wiping off the long moss on the stone wall with his hands as he banged, making his hands and face green.

At this time, several people knew that Nabihai must have found something unusual, so they didn't bother him anymore, but just let him work there alone.

Nabihai just knocked and wiped the moss with his hands, and finally made himself look like a "vegetative person".

Until he stopped what he was doing, the stone wall in front of him had been rubbed out of the original color of the stone, and he kept groping on the stone wall again, and from time to time he put his ear to the stone wall, as if he was listening carefully.

Shao Xi put his thumb against his chin, watching every move made by Nabihai in front of him, and he gradually began to understand that Nabihai should have discovered something unusual about this stone wall.

After another moment, Nabihai turned his head and beckoned to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi walked over with the torch in his hand, only to see Nabihai put his ear on the stone wall and gestured to Shao Xi, which meant that Shao Xi would also come and listen.

Shao Xi followed Nabihai's example and put his ear to the stone wall, and at first he didn't hear anything, but soon after he heard the sound of trickling water behind the stone wall.

Shao Xi looked at Nabihai with some surprise, Nabihai at this time was like a child who had just come out of the thatch, his head and face were covered with long moss, but he still grinned and showed a row of white teeth, and laughed happily.

What does the sound of running water behind the stone wall prove? It proves that there is a river behind the stone wall, and it also proves that there is another space behind the stone wall.

Shao Xi stood up and beckoned to Lao Wu and Fu Biao and others, Lao Wu and Fu Biao also ran over and lay on the stone wall to listen, and they also heard the sound of running water behind the stone wall.

Several people glanced at each other, as if asking each other's opinions, and after eye contact, everyone looked at the black ball that was wiping the big iron ball in their arms.

Wu Qiu'er didn't notice the actions of several people, just rubbed his head intently on the iron ball in his arms, as if Shao Xi's tossing and turning had nothing to do with him.

"Wu Qiu'er, are you tired now?"

Shao Xi's inexplicable concern even Wuqiu'er was stunned for a moment, he looked up at Shao Xi and shook his head.

"I'm not tired, I'm well fed before I come in."

"Hey, hey! Good apprentice, can you use the black ball in your hand to smash this place open? ”

As he spoke, Shao Xi pointed to the big iron ball in Wu Qiu'er's arms, and then pointed to the stone wall rubbed out by Nabihai.

"Oh! Then I'll do it! ”

At this time, Wu Qiu'er is simply the cutest person in the world in Shao Xi's eyes!

Before coming to the Western Regions, Shao Xi had also struggled with whether to bring Wuqiu'er, and at that time he felt that it might be a burden to bring Wuqiu'er.

But it turns out that whether it was killing the dragon horned lizard outside before, or breaking through the stone wall in front of him at this time, this trip to the Western Regions with Wuqiuer can be said to be Shao Xi's wisest decision.

Without him, the group of them probably wouldn't even have a chance to enter this cave, let alone break through the stone wall and continue to explore the secrets inside the stone wall.

Seeing that Wu Qiu'er agreed so happily, the others consciously flashed to the side.

They all know that Wu Qiu'er is not shaking the mountains and the ground, but at least it will make the gravel fly.

I saw Wu Qiu'er grabbing the iron chain, smashing the iron ball in his hand into the wind, followed by a loud shout, let go of the iron chain in his hand, and the iron ball slammed towards the stone wall.

Boom......
