With the figure of the fish and dragon swimming, Yu Ci is also observing the environment inside.
He knew at first glance that this huge cave at a depth of 5,000 zhang was by no means an isolated space sealed in the thick cliff wall. Otherwise, there would be no explanation for the scattered bones, the blackened bloodstains, and the hay-paved bed.
Is it a beast?
At first, he confirmed this speculation, but Yu Ci was soon confused again, if this was the lair of the beast, then, where was the entrance? Judging from the hay nest, the beast that lived here was probably not small, it couldn't get in through the gap that was not as thick as a finger like a fish dragon, right?
Staring at the structure of the cave shown by the map, as far as Yu Ci could see, the cave was huge and straight, with no twists and turns from beginning to end, and no obvious ups and downs. If you light a torch, you will probably be able to shine it all at once...... Such a cave......
He turned his head suddenly, and not far away, what he could see with the naked eye was still a dark and dreary cliff, no different from the surrounding environment, and it was also thick and seamless. However, according to the picture of the gods, it is a different scene.
Behind this cliff is the giant cavern. And the distance between the inner and outer spaces is ......
Yu Ci suddenly made a move, regardless of the appearance of the thick cliff in front of him, he punched straight away, and when the fist touched the cliff, it seemed to break a membrane, and then it passed through.
On the other side, in the picture of the gods, half of Yu Ci's arm is clearly visible.
Magic!
This kind of illusion should not only interfere with people's spiritual sense, but also use other means such as light changes, so it is useless for him to hold his heart in his mouth...... It was only by relying on the powerful reflection ability of the divine map that I discovered the problems inside.
Yu Ci exerted force under his feet and jumped over directly. It was as if his body had passed through a layer of water, and there was a slight pressure, but soon he was standing in the cavern.
But then, he was almost swept away by the foul smell of the cave. There is a disadvantage to having a sensitive nose, but instead of covering his nose, he looks solemn and carefully distinguishes the details of the smell.
This smell is familiar!
He turned around, and the illusion obviously didn't work on the inside, and the entrance was a very large cave entrance, comparable to the gates of the Cliff City. Looking from the inside, he could see the dark area illuminated by glowing moss. It was still quiet, almost deadly.
"Either it's desolate, or there's a big guy living there......"
As far as Yu Ci knew, it seemed that there was only that one of the huge fierce beasts that lived in the Heavenly Rift Valley and could perform illusions...... According to the divine map, Yu Ci looked at the traces of fierce battles for dozens of miles around the cave, but there was a faint context.
Through these contexts, Yu Ci's judgment becomes clearer and more affirmative:
The smell that lingered on the tip of the nose really belonged to an "old friend", that is, the ghost beast that had shown its might before, repelled the demons, and then fled with its tail between its legs.
From the pine forest battlefield where Hu Ke's body was first discovered, to the head-on battle under the Heavenly Rift, to the long time in the dark area that day, the impression left on him was extremely profound, and Yu Ci was sure that he was not mistaken.
Is this the nest of ghosts?
If this is the case, it solves a small doubt for Yu Ci......
According to Yu Zhou's jade slip, the Netherworld Tree will absorb the most powerful creatures in the surrounding area to entrench here. But the ichthyosaurs he saw, the rarity is enough, if it is said to be powerful, it is really not called. But if you change to a ghost beast, you don't have this problem.
It's just that the owner of the nest doesn't seem to have returned for a long time.
From the traces of the battle outside the cave, it can be seen that the battle did not start from the cave that day, but should have been on the way back to the nest of the ghost beast, and suddenly encountered the enemy. The two sides began to fight from the sky above the "rain eaves", and then the ghost beast that fell downwind ran along the cliff, all the way to the south, and finally entered the reflection range of the god map, contributing a wonderful demon battle to Yu Ci.
Even if the ghost beast bluffed in the end, the direction in which it fled after scaring the demons was not from this side, but continued to the south...... It's said that the three holes of the cunning rabbit, maybe that guy has another hiding place.
These things that have already happened, even if they are extrapolated, are of little value. Yu Ci was even more curious about the soul of the suspected monk of Zhengde, why did he come here after taking away the demons?
Yu Ci couldn't help but remember, remembering that at the beginning, the legend of the treasure of the Heavenly Rift Valley was associated with the lair of ghosts and beasts, that is, before he killed the poisonous snake monk and others, he also heard similar news from the mouths of those three guys.
His heart fluttered, and then he fell silent.
It's not a good habit to constantly doubt your own judgment. Intellectually, he had long judged that the so-called treasure was a rumor from someone with a heart, and now that there are some fluctuations in **, there will be no more big waves.
What's more, he has already reflected the environment in the cave according to the divine map...... Now, in addition to a priceless ichthyosaur that has been locked by him, it is just a nest inhabited by big guys who don't have good living habits.
"There has to be some purpose. ”
Unable to think of an answer for a while, Yu Ci put it aside for the time being and slowly walked into the depths of the cave. At the bottom of the cave, the ichthyosaurus still swam carelessly, and in the Zhaoshen map, it had gradually moved away from the rock gap it had passed through before, and in other directions, Yu Ci did not find any path that allowed it to pass through.
If you don't have the tools at hand, if you want to catch a guy like an ichthyosaur who is super fast but not very agile, the best thing is to use the terrain......
A thought was spinning in his head, but he was stepping on something under his feet.
Yu Ci looked down and found that it was an obviously artificially made rope, with a dull color and delicate lines on the surface...... It's just that the rope has now been torn into several sections, scattered scattered on the ground, and the longest section is no more than a foot, but it is also full of gaps, and it is broken.
There are many relics of medicine pickers in the Heavenly Rift Valley, and the ghost beasts are idle, and it is not impossible to come back with one to practice their teeth, but:
"This thing looks familiar!" Yu Ci's heart moved slightly, and he squatted down to collect the remnants of the rope and roughly put them together. In this way, the memory of that little impression suddenly becomes clear:
"It's Xu Laoer's 'trapped spirit rope'. ”
There is probably a case of a monk who is virtuous, and Yu Ci can easily associate information related to it.
A few months ago, he fought fiercely on the cliff wall, and this rope with a humus soul fire attached to it did cause Yu Ci a lot of trouble, so he still had a little memory...... Now that I think about it, this "trapped spirit rope" is also a relatively special craftsman, more than a month has passed, how did this rope, which had fallen thousands of feet of cliff with the master, appear in the ghost beast's lair thousands of miles away, and why did it become so miserable?
Is it really a dental practice?
Yu Ci caressed the ground, the light in the cave was dim, but with the faint light of the divine map and the touch of his hands, he could still feel that the ground here was uneven, and there were still a lot of paw prints, all of which were several feet deep.
The irritability of the ghost beast has been seen before. Wasn't that sudden riot in the valley caused by the violent howls of the ghosts and beasts? Counting the time, it fits well with the rope falling into the valley......
"It's so annoyed by ropes and other things, so annoyed that it deliberately brought back the 'trapped spirit rope' and split the corpse to vent its anger!" Yu Ci naturally came to this conclusion.
"Well, that's kind of interesting. ”
After making a judgment on the ghost beast's affection, Yu Ci realized that he had stayed in place for too long, so he got up and continued to push inside. In the process, he picked up a few gravels on the road and held them in his hands.
When he was about to reach the deepest part of the cave, Yu Ci stopped. At his feet was a hay nest laid by the beast, half a man tall. The ichthyosaur was hanging three feet away from him, and at this distance, the ichthyosaur finally sensed that something was wrong, and the speed of its swimming increased slightly, and it was more like it was accumulating power......
Yu Ci made a decision immediately, his fingers flicked, and a gravel shot out.
This blow Yu Ci did not have the slightest strength. The innate innate infusion of gravel is like a strong bow, tearing through the air, and the piercing whistle sounds, which are even more shocking in the enclosed space.
Yu Ci didn't know if the heart of the ichthyosaurus was shaken, but when the crisis came, this guy's reaction immediately increased greatly, and his body shrank and flicked, and he avoided the flying stone and jumped away.
However, as soon as it moved, Yu Ci's fingers flicked, and seven or eight stones flew one after another, scattering to various locations in the cave. Although the directions are different, it is a momentary effort, sealing the most direct route of the fish and dragon.
If you change to another creature, you are a fly, and you know how to change direction and bypass obstacles. But ichthyosaurs are different. The speed of the ichthyosaur is indeed fast, but its instinctive reaction is a straight line, and the straight collision is indeed very imposing, but if you want to predict, it is even simpler.
Most of the seven or eight stones missed, but there was still one that happened to intercept the flight path of the ichthyosaur, and with a bang, the stones were shattered, but the ichthyosaur was also frightened and shifted slightly from the direction.
In the dark, Yu Ci pounced forward, and the position was stuck in time. With the help of the cave's topography, the ichthyosaur was forced to make a choice: either crash into the cave wall and him, or just get out of the gap next to it.
The ichthyosaurus chose to be empty, but the direction in which it flew was exactly what Yu Ci had calculated in advance, the narrowest corner of the cave. The ichthyosaurus's slightly weak intellect was obviously difficult to comprehend the question, and it rushed over without hesitation. Yu Ci shouted in a low voice, and the fit blocked the passage behind him.
At this moment, things suddenly became very simple, the left and right front and back were either stone walls or human bodies, no matter how fast the ichthyosaur was, it could only escape from the upper and lower directions, and Yu Ci was the best at making similar choices!
The ichthyosaurus finally realized that something was wrong, its seven-foot-long body turned around in the space of Fang Yuanzhangxu, and wanted to rush out, but its body leaned out halfway and shrank back. The slender body coiled in the void, and at this moment, it was more like a snake than ever.
This is the first time that ichthyosaurs have been in a state of indecision.
Yu Ci also froze. In this position, he can maximize the hindrance effect of his body, and after that, there is only one thing left for him to do.
Before the weekend, I attacked last week's hit list, and I can't do without the support of my brothers and sisters, and I hope to continue to maintain it. Now posting online articles, after all, it is not as calm as when writing about the Netherworld, and sometimes modifying and changing the plot may also leave a tail. So if there is a bug or something, please say it in time, thank you. Of course, click to collect red tickets or something, the more the merrier.
