Chapter 10: A Rainy Night
Steep cliffs, rugged mountain roads, verdant jungles wrapped in backlogged dark clouds, winds swept through the mountain streams, like swords and swords, piercing the jungle, crushing the treetops to hunt!
"We have to hurry up and go to the mountain stream on which side, it's going to rain soon, there is a cave there to hide from the heavy rain tonight" Liu Ye looked at the mountain stream in the distance that was hazy in the clouds.
Hearing this, Liu Qiu no longer teased the white finch on his shoulder, and quickened his pace. Before the heavy rain came, the two finally saw the natural cave at the foot of the mountain stream, and as soon as they stepped into the cave, the sound of dripping rain sounded outside the cave, and the fragrance of the earth instantly permeated the entire cave, and the two found a large stone slab and sat down.
After a flash of lightning and a roar through the mountain stream, the drifting rain poured like a mountain stream from the top of the mountain, and the huge raindrops fell on the rocks and shattered into pieces.
Liu Ye got up and said, "Xiaoqiu, I'll go and pack some firewood, and you can sit here and rest for a while." With that, he turned and walked out into the open.
"En" Liu Qiu responded, and continued to look inside the cave, the entrance of the cave is very open for hundreds of zhang, and it is getting narrower and narrower in the deep cave, because the light is dim and cannot observe the depths, Liu Qiu has to withdraw his gaze.
The scratches on the stone wall not far away attracted Liu Qiu's attention, due to the lack of light to see clearly enough, Liu Qiu got up and walked over, there was a slightly concave large soil pit near the scratch, the soil pit was unusually smooth around the pit should be caused by long-term friction, and the scratches on the rock wall were left by animal claws at a closer look. Combined with the pits and scratches, it is certain that a lethal behemoth may have been entrenched here for a long time. Liu Qiu looked around again, and there was nothing abnormal except for the dim depths of the cave!
With his eyebrows raised, Liu Qiu returned to his original position and kicked the white finch sleeping on the package.
The white sparrow who was dreaming that he was swimming in the blue sky was suddenly kicked and gnawed on the mud, grinning and just wanted to scold the one who lacked virtue, but when he saw that it was Liu Qiu, the evil star, he closed his mouth and shook his uneven wings that had been cut and leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes in an attempt to continue the dream just now.
Liu Qiu didn't pay attention to the white sparrow, took out a brightly rubbed short gun from the package, put it on his side, and wanted to get another wooden stick, but the torrential rain outside the cave still had to give up.
It wasn't until it was dark in the cave that Liu Ye came back with the dry firewood collected in the cave and made a fire, with the light of the fire, the man ate some of the last dry food in the package, Liu Ye said while eating: "You can go to Ningzhen by crossing the mountain on the east side of the cave, and there will be a caravan there, we can follow the caravan, so that we can reach Xiluan City in less than a month." Liu Qiu on the side listened to Liu Ye's analysis expectantly.
After eating, Liu Qiu told Liu Ye about his previous discovery, Liu Ye looked at the pouring rain outside the cave and said: "Such a big rain animals must have all hidden, and now there is no movement, it should be hiding somewhere else." Having said that, Liu Ye still took out a short blade from the package and pinned it to his waist, and threw a few thick dry firewood into the fire. Then he was relieved: "It's okay, let's sleep!"
I don't know how long it took for Liu Qiu to sit up suddenly, and by the light of the fire, he determined that the pit was empty, and looked out of the cave with a sigh of relief. Liu Qiu couldn't help but be disappointed, what Liu Qiu hated the most in the past six months was the rainy night, because the dense dark clouds on the rainy day covered the moon tightly, so Liu Qiu couldn't absorb the moonlight, and his body couldn't be further strengthened. Listening to the roaring thunder in the distance, Liu Qiu sighed and lay down on his side, muttering in his heart: "Simply relying on absorbing the moon is too limited to my cultivation, but I have no other way than passively absorbing the moonlight." The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Liu Qiu gritted his teeth and made up his mind to consult Da Neng to find a solution.
Just as Liu Qiu, who was lying on his side, was drowsy, his eyes suddenly opened, and his forehead was wrinkled. Today's Liu Qiu is enough to hear a subtle sound dozens of feet away, and there is a sound of rustling in the depths of the cave, so Liu Qiu immediately noticed the abnormality. Because Liu Qiu's body was facing the outside of the cave and could not see the situation inside the cave, the sudden movement would definitely startle the snake, so Liu Qiu just pressed his body and continued to listen, the sound became louder and louder, and the footsteps stopped abruptly in about a zhang, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing mixed with the crackling sound of the firewood being burned.
A quarter of an hour!
Two quarters of an hour!
The light of the fire reflected on the wall became weaker and weaker, and Liu Qiu knew that the firewood was about to burn out, and gently moved his hand towards the position of the short spear, and Liu Qiu's forehead was covered with a circle of cold sweat, dripping down his cheeks on the stone slab.
Finally, at the moment when the last trace of fire was extinguished, Liu Qiu grabbed the short gun, turned sideways with a carp, and threw the short gun out with the force.
Click!
Suddenly a lightning bolt over the mountain stream suddenly illuminated the cave as if it was day, and the short spear volleyed away like a lightning incarnation, Liu Qiu looked at the place where the short spear was heading, and his body was shocked, holding Liu Ye who had not woken up with one hand, pinching the white finch with the other hand, and retreating in the direction of the cave entrance!
Poof! The short gun responded and hit a huge black shadow.
The dark shadow !! pain and let out a roar that resounded through the valley
Liu Ye and the white finch were awakened in an instant, and the white finch was so frightened that it fluttered and broke its wings and quacked! Liu Ye exclaimed: "Little Bird, what is it?"
"A black bear, more than a zhang long, is not easy to deal with without a weapon in hand!"
"It's pitch black all around, you can't run away, you can only fight," Liu Ye analyzed.
Touching the dagger on his waist, Liu Ye said: "Little Biao, if there is lightning, run along the light, don't worry about me!"
"Brother Ye, I'm with you," Liu Qiu said with his fists clenched
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Liu Ye said with a frown
Click!
Another lightning bolt!
"Run!" Liu Ye roared, and at the same time he stretched out his arms and grabbed the short blade and rushed towards the giant bear with a bloody mouth!!
