Chapter 88 Walking out of Zhelong Cave

"Lao Hu, that's not what I meant. Didn't I think that the little brother's blood was wasted just now?"

The fat man didn't mean to let Zhang Qiling bleed when he encountered this. I feel bad that my brother's blood was wasted just now.

"I have heard that some big families who go to the tomb adopt some children from childhood and train them to be medicine people. After successfully training a medicine person, what they are waiting for is to encounter this kind of creature when they go to the tomb. , so that Bai Chong can avoid it. I would like to ask if Brother Zhang is..."

"No," Zhang Qiling said concisely.

After hearing the answer, Blind Chen did not ask any more questions. For a while, there were only the footsteps of a few people in the dark cave.

Although Lin Ruoyan's foot was injured, his blood now has a very strong self-healing ability. In addition, Xue Liyang had just treated it with medicine, and the pain was minimal and did not affect walking. Decline The fat man had to carry her on his back.

Unfortunately, after walking on this stretch of road for about an hour, the river in front of us gradually widened, and there was no place to step on.

A few people had to find another cave to pass through, and now they had completely deviated from the original route.

Not long after walking around the entrance of the cave, I heard the sound of rumbling water, but there was no way forward.

The few people could only take out their strong searchlights again and carefully search for a way out of the cave, and finally found a cave entrance that could allow one person to pass through.

Fortunately, even a fat man could barely get into this hole, but it would not be possible if a few people were carrying backpacks.

Lin Ruoyan put the contents of his backpack back into the space and divided them up after going out.

After they got out, they found that the exit of the cave was in a very large cave, directly below the waterfall. The rumbling sound they heard just now was coming from this large waterfall.

Directly opposite this waterfall, there is a stream of water that merges into a pool below the waterfall.

Looking in the direction of the water coming out, I saw light coming from a distance, and the exit should be there.

"It seems that the waterway was the waterway discovered by quarry workers back then. The riverbed landforms nearby would not have been formed for more than a few decades. If it had been formed back then, King Xian would not have been in Zhelong Mountain. The canal for transporting materials has been reprocessed."

Sydney Yang said.

"This kind of ash lava landform is formed by being washed away by water flow over the years. There are countless tributaries of the Lancang River in Zhelong Cave, and the landform is changed by the size of the river, rain and weather.

The river changed its course in the cave, and after some rocks washed in, it formed an additional tributary. If this continues, Zhelong Mountain will be washed away sooner or later."

Hu Bayi followed her. As he said, several people walked towards the bright exit.

On the way, I saw many well-arranged caves on the high stone wall, which were obviously dug manually.

There are stone steps cut out of the original place below, and brown and decaying human bones can be seen from time to time on the ground on both sides of the water flow.

There are also some weapons and armor, but they are all in bad shape.

This scene is in line with the characteristics of the waterway mentioned by the innkeeper’s wife. Judging from the shape of the weapons and armor, it may be from the early Qing Dynasty.

Here in Yunnan, such rebellions have often occurred since the Yuan Dynasty. It should be that some rebels used this as a stronghold to confront the government troops at that time.

Because of the encounter in the cave waterway just now, several people just wanted to get out of the cave quickly, so they ignored these ruins.

The bright entrance was higher than this cave. Although the water flowed all the way to the entrance, it turned underground.

Climbing down the slope to the entrance of the cave, Shirley Yang asked everyone to put on their sunglasses before going out.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

I am afraid that the obvious difference in light outside and inside the cave will cause my eyes to suddenly become temporarily blind.

The location where they came out was under the cliffs and dangerous peaks of Zhelong Mountain.

At the highest point above the head, clouds and mist are lingering. Zhelong Mountain is covered by thick vegetation, making it difficult to see the appearance of the mountain.

Looking ahead, they were surrounded by mountains. The location they were in was like a basin, covered with large tracts of primeval forest, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The fat man picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. Hu Bayi took out the human skin map provided by the blind man to confirm the path into the Worm Valley.

"Old Hu, don't lie. Look at the many big golden butterflies over there. That must be the path into the Worm Valley."

The fat man put down the telescope and said.

"I didn't expect that there are rare large golden-threaded butterflies here. Those flowers should be Phalaenopsis orchids that attract butterflies."

Xue Liyang admired.

Hu Bayi knew nothing about butterflies. He picked up the telescope and looked around, but he could not see any terrain such as valleys.

"The vegetation here is too thick, and all the topography and landforms are completely covered, making it impossible to identify. The sixteen-character Feng Shui secret technique of this kind of ghost place is simply useless."

Hu Bayi’s face was solemn. The study of Feng Shui requires distinguishing shapes and regulating qi, and seeing clearly the direction of mountains, rivers and rivers.

But in this area, the mountains are covered by clouds, and the various trees and vines below the mountains are as if the mountains and rivers are covered with a thick layer of green mud, covered with cotton quilts. Applying Feng Shui theory has nowhere to start.

"A few decades ago, I saw a large group of butterflies in the valley before entering the Worm Valley. However, after several decades, there is no guarantee that such a group of butterflies will appear elsewhere. Swarm of butterflies."

"But there is another location that can determine the entrance to the Worm Valley, that is, when King Xian was building the tomb, he used manpower to build a dam in the lake and cut off the water flow.

etc. After he was buried, it was demolished, but there is still a fragment of the wall. Finding this fragment of wall can confirm the entrance to the Worm Valley."

"The safest method is still the same as we did back then. , after leaving Zhelong Mountain, we should not enter the deep forest first, but follow the direction of the Snake River into the valley, so as to ensure that we will not go astray in the direction."

None of the people had objections. He rested there for a while, replenished his strength, and then walked towards the location where Blind Chen said.

"But, Lao Hu, you said that the water flows in all directions. We walk along the river. If we encounter a place where water needs to flow, will there be any sabre-toothed fish?"

Those present thought of the piranha, what if the fish with teeth faster than saws were also in the water outside.

"You don’t have to worry about this at all. When I was doing photography for the Geographical Magazine of China, I read a lot of information about wild animals and plants.

This sabertooth viperfish Although they are very powerful, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they can only live in water with very low temperatures.

Only the cold waters in caves are suitable for their survival. One of the species in the water does not have eyes. The number of hard-shell shrimps is huge, but it is still not enough for them to eat, so sabertooth viperfish often kill each other, and only one percent of the lucky ones survive to spawn.

After spawning, saber-toothed vipers will spawn. They will die immediately. After the eggs turn into fry in the high-temperature water, they will swim back to the cold waters to survive.

It is the end of June, and this season is not yet the spawning period. So there is no need to worry about their existence in the Snake River Basin."
