Chapter 40: Flying Squirrels, Stone Caves
From "The Legend of the Thief", Chang Shan knows a lot of things, such as the power of the earth, in addition to the common power of the dragon elephant, the power of Xuanwu, the power of the earth, the power of the earth, the power of the Yuan Magnet, the power of the soil, the power of Medusa, the power of chaos, etc.
After reading "The Legend of the Thief", Chang Shan's knowledge has indeed increased greatly.
However, when it comes to understanding the wild lands, he is still not as good as Yu Zheng.
Chang Shan's knowledge of the wild land is not as good as Yu Zheng's, let alone the others.
On the next road, when passing by some mountains, Changshan and several people had the intention to stop and hunt for treasures, but they couldn't say that there might be treasures in the mountains, so they didn't ask Yu Zheng to stop and hunt for treasures.
After traveling for more than 6,000 miles without stopping, on this day, everyone came to a grassland with a radius of about 1780 miles.
In the wilderness, there are generally no too powerful demon beasts in the grassland, but for cultivators, the grassland is more dangerous than the mountains and forests.
There are many more types of poisonous insects in the grasslands than in the mountains and forests, and there may be poisonous insects that can poison cultivators.
After entering the grassland, the speed of the group was significantly slower.
After walking for more than three hours, everyone walked to the middle of the grassland.
After moving forward for less than ten miles, suddenly, more than a hundred fist-sized beasts appeared more than twenty feet away in front of everyone.
The little beasts, which resembled rats and were smaller than normal rats, emerged from the grass and flew together towards the west.
Suddenly saw a group of flying beasts, and everyone was surprised.
Although everyone looked at the group of little beasts, they didn't catch up with them, and it wasn't until the group of small beasts flew more than two hundred zhang away that Wan Ziming spoke: "Senior Brother Yu, do you want to follow and have a look?"
Yu Zheng swept around everyone's faces, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's good to follow and have a look!"
Everyone followed the little beast to the west for more than three miles, and suddenly, a group of small beasts came out of the grass.
After the group of small beasts emerged from the grass, they gathered together with the previous group of small beasts and flew west together.
The crowd stopped, looked at each other, and followed.
In the following time, every two or three miles, a small herd of one or two hundred beasts would join the herd of beasts fleeing westward.
When the crowd was about to reach the edge of the grassland, there were seven or eight thousand small beasts in front of them.
As soon as they came out of the grassland, the group of small beasts disappeared from the cracks in the rocks into a stone mountain two hundred feet high.
"The nest of that group of flying squirrels should be in this mountain!"
In front of Shi Shan, Yu Zheng stared at Shi Shan and frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I'm going to trouble you again." ”
Lu Qian hesitated, nodded, and his body moved, and he came to a stone crevice.
Everyone saw a flash of yellow light on Lu Qian's body, and then he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After disappearing for a while, Lu Qian reappeared in the place where he disappeared.
"Senior Brother Yu, my earth escape technique attainment is not high, and at most I can only move eighty zhang away among the earth and rocks. I moved forward thirty-seven or eighteen feet, and before I could find a place to rest, I went straight out. ”
Yu Zheng nodded, frowned and pondered for a while, and said to Lu Qian: "Senior Brother Lu, you can try a few more places, if you still can't find any passage, let's continue to hurry." ”
Lu Qian nodded, took a deep breath, and moved to another stone crevice.
This time, Lu Qian disappeared for nearly a cup of tea before reappearing in front of everyone.
"Senior Brother Yu, enter from this stone crack, and if you are twenty-seven or eight zhang away due west, there will be a stone crack that can allow people to rest for a while. If you follow the narrower direction of the stone crevice, you will come across a stone cave where you can hunch forward. ”
Yu Zheng nodded, swept around everyone's faces, and asked in a deep voice, "Which of you has an earth talisman on you?"
Chang Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have one on me!"
Hearing this, Yu Zheng looked at Chang Shan and said, "Then you can go in with us!"
"Hmm!"
Chang Shan just responded, and Wan Ziming spoke: "After you go in, let Senior Brother Lu take out Senior Brother Chang's Earth Talisman, and we can also go in." ”
Yu Zheng frowned, shook his head and replied: "It is true that everyone can enter with this method, but once we encounter danger inside, the two Earth Talismans are not enough to let everyone out safely." ”
Wan Ziming's face stiffened, and he glanced at Chang Shan, as if he wanted to say something, hesitated, but did not say what he wanted to say.
Glancing at Wan Ziming and the others, Yu Zheng said again: "Senior disciples are waiting outside, if we find any treasures inside, there will definitely be a share of yours." ”
After saying this, Yu Zheng glanced at Lu Qian and Chang Shan.
After Yu Zheng and Lu Qian escaped into the stone mountain, Chang Shan was just about to escape in, and Che Yonglu's voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Chang, be careful!"
Chang Shan turned around and nodded to Che Yonglu, and poured a true yuan into the earth talisman in his hand.
The yellow light on his body flashed, and Chang Shan disappeared in front of Wan Ziming and the others.
After Lu Qian paused for a moment when he mentioned the stone crevice, Chang Shan once again urged the earth talisman in his hand.
When Chang Shan came to the stone cave that Lu Qian said, Lu Qian and Yu Zheng had already begun to walk inside.
The stone cave is more than five feet high, less than two feet wide, except for the relatively short land diving, Chang Shan and Yu Zheng are very difficult to walk in the stone cave.
After walking nearly a hundred zhang deeper, the stone cave in front of him suddenly became open, and the stone cave was so wide that even Yu Zheng could walk easily.
After walking less than ten zhang forward, Lu Qian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Turning around, Lu Qian frowned and asked Yu Zheng, "Senior Brother Yu, those flying squirrels are so small, what are you doing digging such a wide stone cave?"
Yu Zheng and Chang Shan also had such a question in their hearts, and as soon as Lu Qian asked at this time, they all knew what Lu Qian's words were reminding them of.
Frowning and pondering for a moment, Yu Zheng replied in a deep voice: "Most of the strength of rat demon beasts is not high, even if there are relatively large flying squirrels in them, their strength may not be much stronger. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qian nodded lightly, and then walked forward.
After walking a few steps forward, Yu Zheng suddenly stopped again, turned to Chang Shan and said, "Senior Brother Chang, here, your eyesight is the best, let's exchange positions, and you pay attention to the situation ahead for Senior Brother Lu." ”
"Yes!"
At the same time, Chang Shan's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration.
Without encountering a small beast, the three of them walked forward for almost two hundred zhang and came to a space two zhang high and seven or eight zhang in circumference.
When the three of them entered the space, the first thing they noticed were three other stone caves where they could move freely.
"Could this be the center of those flying squirrels' nest?"
Yu Zheng pondered for a moment, took Chang Shan's words, and said, "If this is the center of those flying squirrels' nests, then they are not here, they should have escaped." Let's take a look into the three caverns and see if we can be sure that they escaped through which passage. ”
After saying this, Yu Zheng's body moved, and he jumped to the mouth of the stone cave that they were facing at this time.
Chang Shan and Lu Qian glanced at each other, and jumped to the other two stone cave entrances.
After observing the entrance of the stone cave for a while, Chang Shan walked into the stone cave.
After walking a few steps, Chang Shan stopped his body, squatted down and observed the paw prints on the ground.
Chang Shan observed for a moment, and he could be sure that the few paw prints he found were new paw prints.
After pondering for a moment, Chang Shan retreated outside the stone cave and shouted to the other two stone caves: "I have found something here, you can come and take a look." ”
Chang Shan's voice fell, and Yu Zheng and Lu Qian came out of the two stone caves.
"I've found a few new paw prints in this cave!"
Yu Zheng nodded, and went to the stone cave first.
There was no need for Chang Shan to point him out, as soon as he entered the stone cave, Yu Zheng saw the paw prints that Chang Shan said.
After squatting down and observing for a moment, Yu Zheng got up and stood up.
At this time, Lu Qian suddenly spoke: "Aren't they able to fly? In this case, why do they leave paw prints in the ground when they escape?"
"If they carry ore or something on their backs, they probably won't be able to fly. ”
Yu Zhengtou didn't reply to Lu Qian, and quickly walked forward.
The three of them walked forward nearly two hundred feet, and their path was suddenly covered with large rocks.
"Those little things are very smart, and they know how to block roads with big boulders. ”
Yu Zheng smiled lightly, paused for a moment, and said, "You follow me up a little!"
Although Chang Shan and Lu Qian were a little puzzled, they still walked forward to Yu Zheng.
After Chang Shan and Lu Qian stopped, Yu Zheng first put all the big stones in front of him into the storage ring in his hand, then walked forward more than a dozen steps, exchanged positions with Chang Shan and Lu Qian, and took out all the big stones he had just put away.
After twenty-two or three zhang of walking in this way, there was no more boulder in front of everyone.
At this moment, the passage in front of everyone became a little lower and narrower.
After going on twenty-seven or eighteen, they turned a corner, and the three of them saw a large rat that was not much smaller than their size twelve or thirteen feet away.
"Rat King?"
Everyone looked at the big rat with a hint of surprise and a hint of relaxation in their eyes.
The three of them were worried that they would encounter a demon beast that they couldn't deal with, but now the big rat they saw was just a first-grade demon beast.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after a slight sound, a large number of flying squirrels appeared in front of and behind everyone at the same time.
As soon as these flying squirrels appeared, they rushed towards the three of Changshan together.
In the blink of an eye, the shield held up by Chang Shan and the three of them was full of flying squirrels.
There were thousands of flying squirrels crawling on their bodies, and all three of them felt their scalps tingle.
Holding back a trace of fear rising in their hearts, the three of them used the defensive shield on Zhenyuan Shock's body, and shook all the flying squirrels on their bodies to the ground.
When another layer of flying squirrels pounced on him, Chang Shan only felt his right wrist go numb, and then he felt something burrow into his palm.
After Chang Shan subconsciously let go, his face instantly turned pale.
The moment he let go, the talisman he had grabbed in his hand was snatched away by a flying squirrel.
