Jiang Xiaobao felt an indescribable worry in his heart. He was worried that there were unknown dangers hidden in the bottomless quagmire, and that some kind of prehistoric behemoth might emerge from it at any time.
However, Chen Mingzhi didn't care about all this. He thought that everything here was too spacious and everything could be seen. It was impossible for any living thing to survive in the mud. There was no oxygen and no food in the mud. There are no conditions for survival.
After hearing what Chen Mingzhi said, Jiang Xiaobao did not want to argue with him anymore for fear of waking Song Yijin, who was sleeping soundly.
Song Yijin slept soundly, with a faint purple energy lingering all over his body. He was really tired. How to get through such a big quagmire was really a test of his leadership ability. Unless he flew over it or had a boat, he would not be able to get through it anyway.
Yiwei Dujiang and Lingbo Weibu are useless on this mud surface. If they don't, they will fall into the quagmire. Even self-rescue will become a problem. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the three of them.
Besides, where did the boat come from? You can't make a boat out of stone, right? So I won’t think about it so much for the time being. I’ll have a good sleep first and then talk about it.
When Chen Mingzhi saw that Jiang Xiaobao was no longer paying attention to him, he struggled to lift a huge stone, as if preparing to throw it into the quagmire.
When Zhao Xixi saw this, she turned pale with fright. She quickly stood up and tried to stop Chen Mingzhi, but she was afraid of waking up Song Yijin, so she had to lower her voice and said: "If this big stone is thrown down, the sound will definitely be very loud. , and the echo generated by the impact may cause serious geological problems, because there is not even a pilaster around here to support it, please don't throw stones, okay?"
"He has thrown so many small stones before! The pebbles fell, and nothing happened. I just wanted to see if there was anything he said in the quagmire." Whether it was out of anger or because he was sure, Chen Mingzhi did not listen to the advice and still insisted on it. Throw down the big stone.
Zhao Xixi did not stop him after all. Just hearing a muffled thunder sound from below, the stone suddenly fell into the mire, but strangely, there was no splash of mud, and everything returned to calm, without even an echo.
"Look, are you okay? I knew you would worry unfounded." Chen Mingzhi raised his chin towards Jiang Xiaobao with a proud look on his face. However, Jiang Xiaobao did not respond to him, but stood there quietly, listening carefully with his ears raised.
After a while, Jiang Xiaobao said: "The depth of this quagmire is about a hundred meters, and its mud is all magma, which is granite dust."
Chen Mingzhi was surprised. Opening his mouth, he looked at Jiang Xiaobao in disbelief and asked, "How do you know? Can you hear the sound of stones sinking to the bottom of the quagmire?"
Jiang Xiaobao smiled slightly and explained: "Just now The big stone thrown down did not stir up any water splash or make any obvious echo.I noticed that when the stone fell into the mire, there seemed to be a subtle vibration in the air around it. Through the observation and analysis of this subtle vibration, combined with my previous experience, I can roughly infer the depth of the quagmire. "
Zhao Xixi agreed with Jiang Xiaobao's analysis.
Jiang Xiaobao said solemnly: "The sound of the stone entering the water just now was very special. If it were an ordinary quagmire, the sound would be duller. Moreover, this is magma, which is much denser. ”
“If you want to get through this quagmire, I’m afraid my eldest cousin won’t be able to get out of it.” "Jiang Xiaobao said worriedly.
At this time, Song Yijin woke up and had only slept for less than half an hour.
Zhao Xixi blamed the two of them for disturbing Song Yijin and unable to sleep. .
“It’s okay, I’ll just take a nap. "Song Yijin said.
Suddenly a burst of mud and water sprayed from below. The four people were caught off guard and were sprayed all over.
Then a big stone was thrown up from below. It was wrapped in mud, as if someone had thrown it up from below.
This big stone was thrown by Chen Mingjie.
Song Yijin and Zhao Xixi were stunned and said at the same time:" There's something down there! "
Chen Mingzhi was so frightened that he stopped talking. When he saw something might have disturbed him, he wanted to hide. This happened every time.
As he was talking, the calm man underneath Ripples appeared on the surface of the quagmire and continued to spread in an S shape. The ripples were caused by the movement of the big fish.
"Looking at the size of the ripples, there was a very large fish underneath. "Jiang Xiaobao said, staring at the ripple, waiting for it to show up to see what it was.
Suddenly the ripple disappeared in front.
Everyone held their breath , looking for it on the surface of the quagmire, not knowing where it would come out.
"What on earth is this, a big fish?" " Chen Mingzhi asked.
"You asked what it was, but you were surprised by the big stone you used. This big fish looks quite big, and it can make such big ripples in the mire. "Jiang Xiaobao was just about to scold him, but he thought that the big fish was happy again. Catching fish was his biggest interest.
"Yes, yes, I caught it to eat grilled fish. I haven't eaten fish for a long time, and I don't even know the taste of fish." . "Chen Mingzhi said.
But the big fish didn't come out either.
Since it was a big fish, Chen Mingzhi was no longer afraid, and ran to move another big stone, and then Throw it in to force the big fish out.
After the stone sank, it soon became calm, and there was no ripple in the quagmire.
There was no sound in the entire cave.
Jiang Xiaobao thought it was fun to catch fish, so he picked up all the big and small rocks around him and threw them into the quagmire."Dong dong dong..." The sound kept ringing, and Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi laughed childishly. Seeing their happy faces, Song Yijin and Zhao Xixi followed them.
< p> Little did he know that the big fish hundreds of meters below the mire was already impatient and even irritated.The reason why such a large mire remains turbid is because the big fish is extremely active at the bottom.
There was just a low roar, and the empty quagmire surface was like boiling water, rolling up countless bubbles. Then the middle of the quagmire broke open on both sides, and a huge creature jumped out, stamping on the surface of the pond with its thick legs, as fast as lightning, The four of them didn't even take their eyes back from the quagmire. The monster had already jumped in front of them from the bottom of the 100-meter-deep pool.
The four of them were frightened, but they still knew how to move forward subconsciously. They ran into the cave. The giant thing didn't chase them. When they saw them hiding in the cave, it put a thick leg in and tried to hook them out.
There were four fingers on the foot. The sharp armor like a blunt knife seemed not sharp, but it could crush a thousand pounds of rocks.
Song Yijin followed and let the three of them continue to retreat.
But there was something there. The moment he jumped up, he could see it clearly. It was a giant thing like a bull's head, but it only had one leg. It was shaped like a dragon, one foot tall, one meter wide, weighing about a thousand kilograms, and covered in black scales. The tail is like a unicorn.

Song Yijin recognizes that this creature is Di Yongkui, the tyrant of the earth!
Seeing that it couldn't be hooked with its legs, Kui used its blunt knife-like claws to dig around the entrance and wall.
There was a clicking sound, and it was like digging out dirt, which was extremely hard. The wall of the cave was soon dug into a big belly.
Kui dug into the hole and squeezed in, swallowing rocks and chewing rocks while squeezing. Just like the beans, it was eaten in a few times.
Everyone was stunned by this stone-eating thing.
Kui swallowed the stone and stopped moving. Asleep.
It was like drinking wine, snoring loudly.
"Fortunately, it fell asleep, otherwise it would have hollowed out the earth's crust when it got angry. We must be caught. Song Yijin frowned and smiled again, "It will sleep for a hundred years." "
Zhao Xixi was still in shock, but after hearing what Song Yijin said, she relaxed. She asked: "What kind of monster is this?" He looked so fierce. "
"This is the mythical beast of ancient times - Diyong Kui. It was born in Liubo Mountain in the far east of China. Liubo Mountain has been submerged since ancient times, so Kui burrowed into the underground rock layer to survive. It feeds on rocks. It has a head like a cow, a body like a dragon, and one leg. It is ferocious in nature and has infinite strength. It can penetrate rocks and walls. However, if it goes out, it will hurt humans and animals. It is a danger to humans. Qin Shihuang once captured a Kui and used its skin to make a drum. The sound of the drum could travel hundreds of miles."Song Yijin continued in a slow tone.
"Kui has a weakness, that is, after he is full, he will sleep in underground rock formations or caves, and he will sleep for a hundred years. After waking up, they look for food. They eat rocks underground or go out to eat humans and animals. After eating, they go back to sleep. That's why Qin Shihuang was able to capture it just when it was sleeping. "
Jiang Xiaobao felt very miraculous after hearing this and said: "We are also very lucky today. This Kui fell asleep. How should we do it? Peel off the skin and eat the meat? "
Zhao Xixi couldn't help but tremble when she heard that Kui was going to be skinned and eaten. "It's an ancient mythical beast. Do you dare to eat it?" If you peel it off and it wakes up in pain, you are not afraid that it will swallow you in turn. "
"If you can't wake up, it's like an animal hibernating. It has no strength at all when it falls asleep. ”
“All the stems we picked have been eaten, and the next food has not fallen, so if we want to have food, we have to rely on its meat. Jiang Xiaobao collected some rock salt, which can be pickled and stored for a period of time. "Chen Mingzhi said.
Indeed, Jiang Xiaobao saw a lot of salt crystals hanging on the walls of some caves in the previous cave, so he collected them casually for food or other uses. He wanted to come outside In the Starry Cave, grains of salt have played an important role.
“How are you, cousin? "Chen Mingzhi asked Song Yijin for his opinion. It was up to Song Yijin, the team leader, to decide whether it would work or not.
Song Yijin thought about it. After all, the ancient beasts were just beasts that had been reproduced and could not be eaten. Food is indeed a problem right now. The location of 10,000 tons of gold was getting closer, but the food problem still had to be solved first.
So he said to Chen Mingzhi: "You can kill the food, and its sleeping state is equivalent to being anesthetized. However, its blood and internal organs are poisonous. Drain its blood first and only extract its essence. "
Zhao Xixi had no objection at this time.
They discussed a plan to get through the gap in Kui's back where it was stuck in the hole, and then pull its tail out. , and then bleed.
The three of them followed Song Yijin back to the entrance of the cave and climbed on Kui's body. Zhao Xixi did not dare, fearing that Kui would wake up and be pushed up by Jiang Xiaobao, and then they slowly climbed up through the gap one by one. Get out.
Zhao Xixi said that although Kui is an animal, it is very rare that he does not smell like an animal.
Living in the mire is equivalent to bathing every day, and his body is natural. It's clean.
At this time, the three men have worked together to grab Kui's tail and push it out hard, but Zhao Xixi also stepped forward to help, and the four men used force to pull it out. With a lot of effort, they dragged Kui out bit by bit.
They used the method of turning over and used force to turn Kui over to the edge of the cliff bit by bit, preparing to cut Kui's skin with knives. Let the blood flow directly into the mire.
At this time, Zhao Xixi was still snoring loudly and didn't feel anything.After all, she is a woman, and she cannot bear to harm such an ancient beast.
"If you don't eat it now, when it wakes up, it will eat you."
As Chen Mingzhi said, he volunteered to take the knife and stab Kui's head hard first. Neck, but the skin is as thick as a rock. No matter how hard he tries, the skin cannot be cut. He had to sharpen the knife on the rock and sharpen the tip.
He took the sharpened knife and stabbed Kui's foot. Because Kui only had one foot, which was very strong. Jiang Xiaobao joked that it would be enough to have only one leg, which is all meat.
Chen Mingzhi aimed the knife at Kui's ankle and stabbed it in, but no blood was seen. He pulled the knife out and something sudden happened.
Kui's legs and body expanded rapidly, as if inflated, and his belly suddenly bulged. His whole body was flat, his head was raised, and his tail was raised high. His shape was very similar. Dragon boat.
"Why is it inflated?" Jiang Xiaobao and Zhao Xixi asked in disbelief.
Song Yijin seemed to have discovered something, and he asked Chen Mingzhi to stop immediately. "Stop, don't prick anymore." He said, taking out a rope and holding tightly to the wound on Kui's foot.
Then he asked Chen Mingzhi and Jiang Xiaobao to use their strength to push Kui down into the quagmire.
Zhao Xixi was puzzled when Song Yijin did this, but she believed that he had a reason for doing so, so she didn't ask any questions and helped push Kui down.
Just listening to the sound, Kui, who had swallowed a lot of rocks, fell to the quagmire below, but his body floated on it like a boat.
"Oh my God, this is Noah's Ark, a natural boat made by Kui!" Zhao Xixi and the others understood instantly.
Song Yijin looked at Zhao Xixi, raised his eyes, smiled, and rolled down his eyelids playfully. Then he took out the climbing ropes from Chen Mingzhi and Jiang Xiaobao's backpacks, fixed them on the cliff, and asked the three of them to pull up the ropes and go down slowly.
When it was his turn, Song Yijin quickly put away the rope and climbed down from the other side of the cliff with his bare hands. When he got close to the canoe, he jumped lightly and landed firmly on the canoe. superior.
Kui's neck was filled with air, and his whole head stood upright, like a mighty dragon boat.
Song Yijin used stone pieces as oars and rowed the Kui boat to Zhao Xixi and the three of them. They were excited and sincerely impressed by Song Yijin's wisdom and team leadership ability.
They were full of hope and prepared to board the Kui boat, which had never been seen since the beginning of time.
