Chapter 8 Stone Beads
Today's first shift, there is still noon!
-----
His face was pale, he gritted his teeth and stood up, looked around, and found that this was a small natural cave, and the sunlight shone through the mouth of the cave, and the bones of birds and beasts were everywhere.
On the wall behind him, there was a black hole the size of a fist, and it was pitch black inside that couldn't see how deep it was, and he analyzed it a little, and vaguely got an answer, the sudden suction force just now was obviously coming from this small hole, and the poultry bones on the ground should have been sucked in and killed like him.
This suction force should appear from time to time, and it happened that the moment he fell suddenly appeared, which saved his life, Wang Lin endured the pain in his right arm, and was about to walk out of the cave, when suddenly the bones on the ground were windless and automatic, and they rushed backwards, Wang Lin hurriedly rolled to the side without saying a word.
At this moment, an unimaginably huge suction force appeared from the small hole in the wall, and the bones of birds and beasts on the ground rattled, constantly being sucked into the small hole, and some of the bones were larger, as if they were glued to the wall alive, blocking the small hole.
Despite this, the suction was still intense, and at this point a bird was sucked in from the mouth of the cave outside, and slammed into the wall with a rapid speed, splattering blood.
After about an hour, the suction disappeared, Wang Lin looked at the corpse of the bird on the ground in horror, did not move his body, but sat quietly in place, calculating the time in his heart.
Half an hour later, the suction force appeared again, and so on several times, Wang Lin mastered the pattern, this strange suction appeared every 30 minutes, and lasted for 60 minutes.
Taking advantage of the disappearance of a suction, Wang Lin hurriedly came to the mouth of the cave with pain, looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly, there was a jungle below, faintly visible strange rocks on the ground, the cliff was extremely steep, he was now injured in the arm, and he couldn't climb at all. It is about a few dozen meters deep from the bottom of the cliff, and if you jump, you will definitely fall to your death.
The package with food on his body was also placed on the top of the mountain and not taken down, now food is the only thing to be solved, Wang Lin groaned a little, calculated the suction power drop, and hurriedly retreated to the cave and sat down against the corner.
The time of the day passed quickly, the sky was getting dark, Wang Lin clearly felt that his body was slowly weakening, his arm was completely numb and unconscious, thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Trapped here is a dead end, but jumping off a cliff is no way to live, alas." ”
He looked at the bloody corpse of the bird in the corner not far away, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and walked over to pick it up, put it to his mouth, a fishy smell came to his face, Wang Lin sighed lightly, and without saying a word, he put it in his mouth and ate raw meat.
He swallowed it directly without chewing, his stomach contracted and tumbled and surged with a warm current, and he quickly ate half of the bird like a wolf, and the feeling of nausea could not stop surging upward, Wang Lin quickly stood up, took a big breath, and then pressed down.
With the leftover bird corpse still on the side, Wang Lin sat down against the wall, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, one thought of his parents, one thought of the fourth uncle, one thought of the mocking faces of his relatives, and one thought of the ruthless gaze of the black-clothed middle-aged man of the Hengyue faction.
In a trance, suddenly he stared straight at the half-eaten bird corpse beside him, grabbed it without blinking and took a closer look, only to see that there was a red bead the size of a baby's fist in the half of the bird corpse, Wang Lin pulled out the bead, and was very surprised.
How could there be beads in the body of this flying bird? His heart was pounding, and he thought that he had seen a mythological essay called the Classic of Mountains and Seas from the village teacher, which introduced that if many animals lived for a long time, a kind of treasure called Neidan would be formed in their bodies.
If this treasure is eaten, it can be infinitely powerful, prolong life, and even resurrect severed limbs.
At that time, he was quite unbelieving when he saw this description, and secretly laughed ashamedly, but now that he has even seen the immortals, he can't help but believe a little bit about some myths and legends in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
Wang Lin's heart was beating wildly, if this bead was really the Neidan described in the Shan Hai Sutra, then if he ate it, wouldn't his injuries heal immediately, and it would be easier to leave here, and even worshipping the Immortal Sect should not be a big problem, at least in the perseverance test, he would definitely make himself qualified.
But the bead felt hard to the touch, not like an edible thing, he locked between his eyebrows, wiped it clean with the strips of clothing on his body, and restored its true color.
This is a gray stone bead, with five white clouds depicted on it, it looks quite old, Wang Lin was disappointed, he bit it with his teeth without giving up, and finally touched the stone bead, and said to himself with a wry smile: "Tiezhu, you are too delusional, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, and the bird that falls to death in front of you has Neidan." ”
Sighing, it was dark outside at this time, with deep fatigue, he shrank in the corner and gradually fell asleep, and the stone beads were placed by him casually on the side of the beast bones.
At this time, it was autumn, and the earth dissipated heat quickly, especially in the mountains, even more so, the slightest coolness continued to pour into Wang Lin's body, and he hugged his body tightly in his sleep, and the time of the night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, the sunrise sun drifted from outside the cave, shining in the cave, and a trace of sparkling dew secreted from the stone beads beside Wang Lin, and as the dew gradually increased, it slowly flowed onto the animal bones.
After a while, Wang Lin woke up, his arm was still swollen, not only did it not show signs of improvement, but it became more and more serious, Wang Lin sat on the ground, feeling melancholy in his heart.
"Are you going to be trapped here for the rest of your life?" he muttered to himself, and when he turned his eyes, he suddenly noticed that there was dew on the bones of the beast around him, and he was feeling thirsty, so he carefully picked up the bones and put the dew accumulated on them to his mouth and licked them clean.
This dew is quite sweet and delicious, and he doesn't know if it's an illusion, but after drinking it, his whole body is warm and very comfortable.
Especially in the injured part of the arm, there was a burst of itchy feeling, and the edema actually disappeared slightly, Wang Lin rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and immediately found that his arm was indeed a little swollen. He thought about it for a moment, and immediately searched for the other beast bones around him, but unfortunately none of them had dew on them.
Just in doubt, suddenly he put his eyes on the stone beads on the side, stared intently, and saw a drop of fine dew on it, and he recalled that the dew beast bones just now were next to the stone beads. He gently picked up the stone bead, his heart couldn't stop beating rapidly, hesitated for a moment, and rolled it on his arm without saying a word, and evenly smeared the dew on it to the swollen area.
A trace of cool feeling came from his arm, Wang Lin didn't blink, stared at his arm, after a long time, his eyes showed joy, the swelling of his arm magically dissipated, he waved slightly, although there was still a slight pain, but it was no big deal.
"This stone bead must be a treasure!" Wang Lin was pleasantly surprised.
