Under the cliff, Tang Chen jumped like thunder.

"Look!

"Keep your cat's eyes open and see clearly!"

"Do you know how to count? No? Brother will teach you! Seventeen mouths! Bleeding so much, how much meat does my brother have to eat to make up for it? Aha, my brother ran to save you regardless of the danger, and you repay me like this!"

"Look at your heinous claws, the shell of the black beetle is hard enough, I can't pry it open with a knife, you go down with one claw and peel off the skin, how cruel. I never thought you would use such a murderous thing against me!

"Brother, what is delicious, haven't you eaten it? Are you worthy of me?"

"Your name was given by my brother, you white-eyed cat!"

Little Tom knew that he was in trouble, he squatted on the ground dejectedly, peeking at Tang Chen a few times from time to time, his pointed ears twitching from time to time, and he looked dignified like listening and confessing his sins.

Seeing the little kitten like this, Tang Chen's anger could no longer be released, he glared at Little Tom hatefully, grabbed two gourds from the ground, turned around and walked towards Xiaotan. He wasn't really annoyed with little Tom, but he was caught bloody and in terrible pain, and he didn't yell a few words, which seemed to be too sorry for himself......

By the small pool, Tang Chen filled the gourd with water and sat silently on the stone to clean the wound.

The cool pool water flowed over the wound, and it hurt so badly that Tang Chen couldn't help but gasp. Little Tom followed, apparently wanting to get closer, but he wasn't sure if Tang Chen was still angry, and after turning around, he still watched silently from the sidelines.

Tang Chen quickly cleaned the wound and took out a wine bottle from the Qiankun bag, which contained half a bottle of soju.

He didn't have the habit of drinking alcohol, and the shochu was originally used for cooking, but during this time in the valley, he was often injured, and the shochu became a disinfectant, and the bottle that was almost full was now only half left.

Unscrew the bottle and the shochu pours down.

"Sizzle", Tang Chen took a breath, his face was distorted, and his expression was very exciting.

"Meow!"

Little Tom stretched out his front legs, as if he wanted to comfort Tang Chen, and he stretched out halfway and then retracted.

A warmth welled up in Tang Chen's heart.

Screw the bottle tightly and return it to the bag.

There was a shortage of supplies in the valley, especially medicines, and there was no room for further treatment of the wounds. Fortunately, so far, Tang Chen's luck is not bad, and he has not been infected after repeated skin injuries. Even so, Tang Chen didn't dare to pin all his hopes on luck, he knew the risks, if he was unlucky, the wound would become infected, it would probably cost him his life, and the headache was that there was not much soju.

The ladder has progressed to 100 meters, and the optimistic estimate is that it is one-tenth complete, and half of the shochu has been used.

There are other aspects where material consumption has also exceeded expectations, such as the wooden drill, after completing the advance camp at a height of 100 meters, the top of the wooden drill is no longer sharp. Although Tang Chen immediately trimmed several wooden drills, and they all regained their sharpness, the bone-cleaved knife was also completely reimbursed. There was still a long way to go, and Tang Chen only had one horn knife left, in terms of the efficiency of repairing the wooden drill alone, the horn knife was far from being as good as the bone cleaver, which meant that Tang Chen was about to lose the tool that could make holes in the cliff wall.

The situation in all aspects was not optimistic, and Tang Chen was a little anxious in his heart.

He lost his temper with little Tom just now, which was a manifestation of an imbalance in his mentality, and his emotions were a little out of control.

Tang Chen knew that this omen was very bad, and he had to leave this ghost place quickly!

Bending down, he pinched the dead skin on the back of the kitten's neck with one hand and lifted little Tom up. Little Tom obediently put away his hind legs and tail, curled his body into a ball, and let Tang Chen carry it in front of him.

Four eyes look at each other, big eyes and small eyes.

"Your claws can kill people, don't mess with me next time, it hurts, you know?"

"Meow. ”

"Poof", Tang Chen smiled, held the kitten in his arms, and strode towards the cliff.

"Let's go see the hole!"

He decided to explore the hole he had just seen to see what was inside.

The cave was very hidden, a depression between the cliffs, covered by dense mountain vines, if it weren't for today's episode, Tang Chen happened to hit the cliff and found the entrance of the cave by mistake, maybe the hole would continue to be dusty.

The cave is about thirty-five meters high from the ground, and a large area of mountain vines below the cave was cut down by Tang Chen, revealing a reddish-brown cliff wall. It was very difficult to enter the cave from below, fortunately, the horizontal distance between the cave and the ladder was only four or five meters, and Tang Chen, who had experience with a humanoid pendulum, did not have much effort to reach the entrance of the cave. With a horn knife, the vines wrapped around the entrance of the cave were cut off one by one and thrown down the cliff, and the entrance of the cave was soon completely exposed.

The height of the cave is more than three meters, but the width is only about half a meter, and there are cracks above and below the hole that stretch into the distance.

The cliff where the ladder was located was to the east of the Absolute Valley, it was morning, and the sun was on the back of the cave, but the light was still enough for Tang Chen to see the area near the entrance of the cave. Behind the entrance of the cave is a road with a turn more than ten meters away. The four walls of the road were reddish-brown rock walls, Tang Chen reached out and touched them, the composition of the rock walls was no different from what he had encountered before, perhaps because it had been covered by mountain vines for a long time, the rocks here were more moist. Two or three meters from the entrance of the cave, there was a large boulder, like a bell shoot growing out of the ground.

Other than that, there's nothing else in sight.

If you want to know where the road leads, you can find out by moving on.

Tang Chen slowly walked around the corner, glanced inside a few times and then retreated, but did not continue to go deeper. He untied the safety rope from his waist, tied it to the stalagmite-like boulder, and pulled it so hard that a rope bridge connecting the hole to the ladder was formed. After doing all this, Tang Chen returned to the entrance of the cave and said hello to Little Tom, who was guarding the ladder, and Little Tom immediately climbed over along the safety rope.

Little Tom was very careful as he crawled, and it seemed that he was impressed by what happened in the early morning. It wasn't until he stepped on the ground inside the cave that the little one relaxed.

"It's dark inside, and I need to do some preparation. You play first, don't run far. ”

"Meow. The kitten responded in the affirmative.

Tang Chen planned to go back to the ground first and make a few improvised torches, otherwise he couldn't see the road behind him clearly. Now he has very little information about how deep the hole is, or whether it is naturally occurring or artificial.

Tang Chen took out three bundles of refined rattan ropes from the Qiankun bag, connected them together, and also tied them to the Zhongsun Stone, and then threw the remaining rattan ropes out, adding a direct passage. Tang Chen has been climbing up and down every day recently, his physical strength and climbing skills are not what they used to be, and the thirty-five-meter-high rattan rope is no longer difficult for him.

At this time, little Tom ran out, holding something in his mouth, showing off to Tang Chen like a treasure.

Tang Chen's eyes froze.
