At the foot of the main peak of Rhino Mountain, Feng Bai found Orion's third son.

This is a middle-aged man about forty years old, and like the sheep herd, he also refuses to mention the past.

Feng Bai said a lot, and he pointed to the foot of the big mountain in front of him: "The cave is there, and there is a big stone at the entrance of the cave, which is not difficult to find." ”

Feng Bai looked at this mountain, the upper half was full of snow, and the lower half was covered with some sparse greenery, the mountain was so big, it was not easy to find a cave. But it was expected that Orion's third son would not lead the way, so he had to find it alone.

Feng Bai drove the fire up the mountain, and it took a lot of effort to find the cave with a huge stone at the entrance of the cave, and then he called the fire to go down the mountain and wait for him.

He looked closely at the entrance of the cave, and there was no trace of anything entering or leaving, it looked like a wild cave. If there is a big snake in and out, there should be some smooth marks on the ground, no matter it, go in and take a look.

Feng Bai cautiously walked inside, and after a while, the light was already dim, and he could only see a rough idea. But even so, it can still be seen that there are a large number of white bones piled on the ground, and I don't know how many, even if they are animal bones, it is also a little creepy.

Further inside, it is almost impossible to see. Feng Bai rolled up his sleeves and unleashed the pure yang wuji technique taught by his master, turning his left hand into fiery red and using it as illumination.

Under the firelight, I saw that there was nothing except animal bones, and Feng Bai didn't care so much, and continued to walk inside.

But after walking for a quarter or two, there is no end. Feng Bai struck the beast bone with his staff, trying to lure the black snake out, but there was no movement.

Feng Bai felt that the movement he made was loud enough, and if the black snake was inside, he should be able to hear it. I just don't know how deep this hole is, and how long it will take for the black snake to come out of it.

He simply sat on top of the bones and waited, while he listened. The whole cave was silent, not even a single bug.

Let's go inside, no matter how deep this hole is, there is an end, and I don't believe that I can't find the black snake.

Walking and walking, I don't know if I walked dozens of hundreds of feet, Fengbai suddenly smelled a rancid smell. Looking down, it was a calf that had been gnawed off its flesh, with some flesh and black blood on its bones, and some flies biting on it.

The flesh on the cow's head was still there, and it was clear that the cow's head had no flesh and had not been bitten.

Suddenly, Feng Bai felt that something was wrong. Snakes usually swallow their heads whole and do not bite, but this calf is clearly gnawed rather than swallowed.

And along the way, the heads of many beasts still have dried animal skins, and it is obvious that they are not devoured. Isn't it the black snake that devoured them, but that there are other beasts?

It's impossible, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, will the black snake live in this hole with other beasts?

Suddenly, Feng Bai thought of something again. Isn't it a humanoid ghost that the sheep old man sees, could this humanoid ghost be the same thing as the black snake? The black snake is the deity, and the human form is an illusion, well, it's entirely possible.

Moving forward, the beast bones are gone, but the front is suddenly narrowed, only allowing one person to walk around, and there is a faint light in front, is it a cave worn by two ends?

After a while, I saw that there was really another cave in front of me, but when I heard the sound of water, there was actually a mountain stream flowing down from the top of the cave, forming a curtain of water that was not wide on the side of the cave entrance.

Feng Bai stood at the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but be stunned, there was a mountain cliff under his feet, although it was not high, but it was also quite steep, and ordinary people couldn't get up at all.

Feng Bai took a closer look and found that there was a slightly raised place on the cliff that was obviously smoother than the others, as if someone had stepped on it for many years and finally polished it.

However, this raised place is in the middle of the cliff, two or three feet away from the bottom of the cliff and the entrance of the cave, and it is by no means stepped on by ordinary people. It is conceivable that some kind of humanoid monster must have jumped at the bottom of the cliff, stepped on this bulge, and then jumped up to the entrance of the cave with strength.

Feng Bai looked at the hole under his feet, and sure enough, there were smooth marks, and it seemed that his conjecture was right.

He jumped down the cliff, and there were some traces of being trampled under the cliff, which once again confirmed his assumption.

Finally he left the cliff and wandered around the neighborhood to see if there was anything else suspicious around. Unfortunately, there are no clues other than the footprints of some beasts.

Feng Bai went down the mountain to find a fire, only to find that the cave he had just walked through was not penetrating into the depths of the mountain, but the two cave entrances were on the same side of the mountain.

Feng Bai had to find Orion's third son again, telling him that there were no big black snakes in the cave, only countless bones. Moreover, this hole is pierced at both ends, and the other hole is on the cliff, and there are traces of people going up and down.

Feng Bai pointed out the cliff to him, and he looked at the position for a long time without saying a word.

"Uncle, what are you thinking?" Feng Bai said.

"Uncle, have you found anything?"

"Uncle, you're talking. ”

"Look there, young man. At last he spoke, and with his mouth he snuggled towards one place.

Feng Bai looked in that direction, and it was about a mile away from the cliff, where there was a lonely hut, which was the residence of the old man Shijie.

"Uncle, isn't that the old man's house in Shijie?"

"Yes, but if you look at the whole mountain, are there any other houses?"

"Not really. ”

"Yes, the old man Shijie is so old, but he lives in the mountains, and there are so many of us herdsmen, we don't dare to get too close to the Rhino Mountain, because there are many fierce beasts on the mountain. ”

"Oh, do you mean this has something to do with Old Man Shijie?"

"It's hard to say, but ...... This old man has lived too long. ”

"yes, for how long?"

"No one knows that when my ancestors were there, he was so old, but until now, he is still alive. ”

"What if he was born to live a long life?"

"Longevity? Even if he lives a long life, he is not afraid of being eaten by fierce beasts, and he lives alone in the mountains, why?"

"Well, what you said seems to make sense, he is indeed a little suspicious. ”

Feng Bai thought that the old man Shijie instructed him to go to Buzhou Mountain to find Yihu, how did he know that Yihu Lake was? Obviously, he knew that it was Buzhou Mountain, and the reason why he led himself there was perhaps because he wanted to kill himself by the hand of Houtu.

Therefore, the old man Shijie is indeed suspicious, and the spirit stone is very likely to be on his body.

Feng Bai decided to stay and wait for the night to squat outside the old man's house to see if the old man would come out at night to steal the herdsmen's livestock.

However, Orion's third son did not welcome Fengbai and did not want Fengbai to stay in his house. Obviously, he was afraid that the wind would affect him.

Feng Bai went to a small col outside, rode alone, sat quietly and waited.

It was night, there was no moon, and a few sparse stars hung in the sky. Feng Bai quietly approached the old man's house from the side, and squatted quietly nearby.

At first, the lights were still on in the house, but soon they went out. There was no sound except for bugs.

Feng Bai stared at the door of the house obliquely, his eyes were tired, but he didn't see the old man Shijie come out.

Until the end of the ugly hour, there was still no movement, and Feng Bai knew that nothing would be discovered, so he left the vicinity of the old man's house and quietly returned to the small mountain pass.
