In the collapsed starry sky egg cave, the bottom of the cave that originally led to the exit has been completely blocked.
Due to changes in the geological structure, the retreating bottom of the cave suddenly slipped and fell into the bottomless abyss, as if it had disappeared forever at the end of darkness.
In a desperate situation, Song Yijin and the four of them had no way to go, and when their hearts were extremely heavy, an unexpected turn of events occurred - they discovered a cave on the stone wall at the entrance!
According to their past tacit understanding, Song Yijin walked in front and Chen Mingzhi followed at the end, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
Before he had taken a few steps, Zhao Xixi behind him suddenly sneezed several times in succession.
In this environment, catching a cold is definitely not a trivial matter. It may cause physical weakness and even affect everyone's ability to survive. Seeing this, Song Yijin felt anxious. He hurriedly took off Jiang Xiaobao's jacket and quickly put it on Zhao Xixi, hoping to bring her some warmth and protection.
Jiang Xiaobao suddenly looked confused and muttered dissatisfied: "If you want to take it off, just take off your own clothes. That's called a hero saving a beauty! What's wrong with taking off my clothes?"
p>
As he spoke, he also reached out to take off Song Yijin's coat. Seeing that something was not going well, Song Yijin ran forward quickly, while Jiang Xiaobao chased after him desperately, cursing incessantly.
In this way, amidst the laughter and laughter, they did not even feel a chill.
In less than an hour, the group had reached the depths of the cave.
At this moment, the cave suddenly became narrow, and the widest part could only accommodate a person walking sideways. Zhao Xixi stopped quickly and called out to Song Yijin who was walking in front: "Wait a minute, don't rush in, let me go in first to explore the path! After all, I am petite and not easy to get stuck."
"Why don't you let Jiang Xiaobao go? You are from a girl's family. It's safer to stay behind." Chen Mingzhi said quickly.
"It would be more appropriate for me to go. Relatively speaking, I have a little more experience than him, so it will be safer." Zhao Xixi smiled and took off the backpack on his back. In his hand, he then carefully moved sideways and slowly moved inside.
She moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
She also did not forget to carefully examine the space size and structural layout inside the cave. After walking about twenty-three meters further, the space of the cave gradually opened up again.
Zhao Xixi stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked back at the passage behind her, and after confirming that it was safe, she shouted loudly: "Okay, you can come in! The space here is big enough, your size should be able to pass through." Her voice echoed in the cave, Crisp and melodious, lingering for a long time.
However, at this moment, there was a low and depressing sound.Muffled thunder suddenly came from the front. The sound was like a huge beast roaring, dull and shocking, making people feel terrified.
Immediately afterwards, countless small black spots emerged from the front like a tide, and they quickly gathered into a surging black torrent, sweeping in like a black whirlwind.
Zhao Xixi's heart tightened and she secretly screamed: "Oops! The bats in the cave must have been alarmed!" Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a trace of despair flashed in her mind. But instead of panicking, she reacted quickly.
Before she had time to think about it, she immediately tightened the hood of her coat, lowered her head tightly, and then quickly fell to the ground. Her movements were quick and decisive, like a well-trained warrior.
At the same time, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Get down! Face down! There are bats!" Her voice was full of anxiety and panic, hoping that the three people on the other end could hear it. Your own warning to avoid blocking the road and being attacked by the bat swarm.
Before he could finish his words, the black torrent had already passed through the narrow cave and rushed towards the direction of Song Yijin. The flapping sound of the bats' wings was deafening, as if it was about to overturn the entire cave. The number of them is unimaginable, like a dark cloud coming over them.
Song Yijin also heard Zhao Xixi’s shouts. He made a prompt decision and immediately ordered everyone present to lie on the ground and cover their heads tightly with their hats.
At this moment, those bats rushed out of the narrow cave at an alarming speed, like black clouds passing over their heads, and then flew out along the entrance of the cave. A black whirlwind hundreds of meters long was formed, which was huge and spectacular.
Time passed minute by minute, but the endless and densely packed bats showed no signs of stopping. They continued to pour out of it. The number of them was simply jaw-dropping.
At this moment, Song Yijin was trying to call Zhao Xixi, but his voice had already been completely obscured by the loud noise produced by the bats flapping their wings. After about half an hour, the number of bats gradually decreased, and occasionally only a few stragglers flew out scatteredly.
They got up from the ground, very worried about Zhao Xixi at the other end, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Zhao Xixi! Zhao Xixi! Are you okay?"
A response came from the front: " I'm fine, the bat has passed. Come here quickly, but be careful."
After the four of them successfully reunited, Zhao Xixi patted her chest with relief, her face still full. Showing a horrified expression, she said with lingering fear: "It was really scary just now. The number of bats was so staggering, I'm afraid there must be at least billions!"
"They were so densely packed. Being squeezed together makes it hard to breathe."
"Yeah, I'm really scared of them.It will fall suddenly. If it does fall, then such a huge number is enough to bury us alive. By then, we may not even have a chance to crawl out. "Chen Mingzhi said.
"Why are there so many bats here? Their queue lasted for half an hour, and the total length was estimated to be at least a hundred kilometers! I really can't figure out how they got through that narrow opening in such an orderly manner. "Song Yijin asked.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobao's face showed a look of joy and said: "This is good news! This means that there is a cave exit ahead, and they simply escaped in panic because they heard the noise. Moreover, I have carefully observed the scattered ones at the back. They have no eyes at all, which is completely different from the bats in the outside world, and their mouths are more like straws. "
"Wait, did you just say their mouths look like straws? "Zhao Xixi suddenly interrupted Jiang Xiaobao's words and asked eagerly.
"Yes, I can see clearly. Their wingspan is about twenty centimeters wide, their heads are flat and they have no eyes. "Jiang Xiaobao replied.
"Are these long-tongued bats? This kind of bat is not common in our country. They only live in Yunnan, and they mainly use flower juice and nectar as their food source. "
At this point, Zhao Xixi seemed to have made a new discovery. She said excitedly, "That's great. In this way, our food problem can be solved! "
After hearing this, Song Yijin's eyes widened and he looked towards Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi, with an unbelievable and incomprehensible look on his face, "You mean to capture bats to use as bats? For food? "Zhao Xixi was amused by his appearance and burst out laughing. The laughter kept coming and going.
It is really unexpected that the smartest cousin would be deceived.
Jiang Xiaobao said excitedly: “Yes, bake it until it’s fragrant, it must be delicious! "
However, Song Yijin curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Stop dreaming. I won't eat that disgusting thing. I would rather starve to death than eat it." "
At this time, Zhao Xixi quickly explained: "Cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. I mean, long-tongued bats feed on flower juice and nectar, so there must be flowers and plants growing around here. As long as we follow the bats, we can find those plants. If they can be eaten, we can eat them too. This way, we have food. "
Song Yijin suddenly realized it and said: "Oh, that's it. So what are we waiting for? Just keep moving forward. ”

Starting from this place, a large amount of bat guano gradually accumulated under the cave wall, with a thickness of even one meter. There is a lot of turmoil in the cave.The turbid smell comes from this.
Zhao Xixi couldn't stand the unpleasant smell. She quickly covered her nose and quickened her pace to leave this place as soon as possible.
After two hours of brisk walking, the four finally reached the exit, and the magical thing was that the exit was connected to another cave.
Zhao Xixi couldn't guess whether it was a cave or the entrance to another egg cave.
But the collapsed starry sky can still be seen here, and they have successfully circled to this end.
"It's a pity, the cave is full of gold ore." Chen Mingzhi looked reluctant and wished he could put it in his backpack and take it away.
Song Yijin couldn't bear to brush off his thoughts. Said: "What is this place? The golden world is still waiting for you. The golden pot bottom, golden beach and golden world are all clearly marked on the world map."
He looked at the new At the entrance of the cave, he continued: "It should be soon. I can hear the dragon's roar much more clearly, as if it is right in front of me."
"I hope so. I am sleeping on a pile of gold even in my dreams, and I don't want to wake up." . I was worried that I would go crazy." Chen Mingzhi said.
Jiang Xiaobao teased him and said, "Yes, you will become a money madman, a gold madman, and a miser."
After saying that, Jiang Xiaobao walked towards the new cave entrance, his backpack covered with bat guano It passed under everyone's nose, and everyone was disgusted.
The four people were in a mess with his backpack.
The entrance to the cave was a bit sloped and dark, so the four of them climbed up one after another. Going up, because the power of the headlights and backup batteries had been exhausted, they had to be careful during the climb.
It was only when they climbed up to the entrance that it became bright, but it was not an open space. It is also a long and narrow cave with classic twists and turns.
Zhao Xixi touched the cave wall tentatively. The water quality of the stone seemed to be better. The entire cave wall was wet and seemed to be dripping with water.
Chen Mingzhi stamped his feet hard to see if there was a hollow under his feet.
Zhao Xixi was scared to death and quickly told him to stop. This was life-threatening. , if the water can flow down, it must not be solid. You can’t tell where to step down, and a bottomless pit will be created.
“You are so brave, the ignorant are really fearless, and you fall into the gold mine below. It's okay, just in case it falls into a bottomless pit and feeds an eyeless beast. "Jiang Xiaobao made a face at Chen Mingzhi.
Song Yijin followed from behind and said, "According to the signs on the stone map, I remember there is a cave shaped like the bottom of a pot. He should have appeared long ago. Why haven't I seen it yet? "
Zhao Xixi said: "On the stone plate map, there is a pot-bottom-shaped cave, which is a rather special geological structure. However, the stone plate has been broken. Who still remembers the specific location. ”
“I remember that the bottom of the pot is facing——” Chen Mingzhi opened his mouth, and just half of what he said, he only heard the sound of “ka ka ka”There was a bone-chilling sound, and a big crack opened where Chen Mingzhi stamped his foot.
They lowered their heads subconsciously. Chen Mingzhi and Jiang Xiaobao's two feet happened to be on both sides of the crack. They panicked and forgot to pull back the other foot.
The cracks got bigger and bigger, and they stopped just when the two people were about to be forcibly split into two pieces.
Song Yijin and Zhao Xixi were also frightened and overwhelmed by this unexpected situation. They didn't react until Jiang Xiaobao shouted for help.
They quickly pulled each other up to prevent them from falling into the crack. Looking into the crack, I saw it was only two or three meters deep, and everything underneath was pitch black.
"The water is black, which means it is very deep. It scares me to death. This Chen Mingzhi is acting like a monster every day." Jiang Xiaobao said.
In order to prevent new dangers from appearing, Song Yijin asked them to leave the crack immediately and walk forward slowly to find a safe place.
There is water here and there are bats sucking nectar from the flowers, so the plants are probably nearby.
At this time, the sound of beating wings was heard again, and from the direction of the starry sky in the ruins, there were dense clouds.
Zhao Xixi looked shocked again and asked them to move forward quickly and leave this area. But the bat cloud did not come towards them. Instead, it entered the cave entrance where they came out, forming a very spectacular black bat cloud bridge.
Only then did Zhao Xixi believe that the myth of the annual Magpie Bridge, which takes place on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, with its formation of bats, could be brought into reality.
"It takes half an hour to fly out, and another half hour to fly in. If they can really be caught and eaten, there will be inexhaustible food." Song Yijin said, and they had already walked out. entrance of the cave.
"Wow -" Zhao Xixi marveled, opening her mouth wide.
"Isn't this the world shaped like the bottom of a pot on the stone map?" Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi were excited.
I saw a bright spot in front of me. Above the entire cave roof, there was an inverted pot-bottom-shaped landmass. The sharp bottom was connected to the bottom of the cave. The vegetation above was lush and vibrant, which was very spectacular.
This is the Land of Curtains recorded in ancient history books! However, it is in the fairy world, not in the human world. It is like a piece of land hanging down from the heaven. Legend has it that this land is where all the flower fairies live.
"There is such a beautiful legend!"
"Such a large area, covered with plants, no wonder it can support so many bats." Song Yijin said with emotion. Then, he couldn't wait to walk to the bottom of the cave below, wanting to explore the curtained wonderland in the sky.
There was land above, and the bottom of the cave was faulted metamorphic rock. They strode towards the connection between the bottom of the pot and the bottom of the cave.
Unexpectedly, it looked very close to the entrance of the cave just now, but it actually took more than an hour of walking to get there.
Just when Song Yijin and Zhao Xixi were stunnedWhile admiring all kinds of exotic flowers and trees, the sharp-eyed Chen Mingzhi discovered that there were many gold objects of different styles inlaid at the roots of these plants...
