Chapter 316 New Guess
When Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, he heard Shirley Yang say: "There are some descriptions of the terrain here. If I read correctly, our current location should be very close to the bottom of the Calabash Cave."

Chen Ziyan glanced at it, and asked thoughtfully: "If we look at it according to the content above, the shape of the gourd hole we are in is exactly the same as the inverted gourd we came in?"

Although this possibility has been mentioned long ago, it was just a guess at that time.

But now the contents of the relief provide evidence for this conjecture.

"It seems so." Shirley Yang nodded slightly.

Although she said so, she felt that there should be some differences, but she didn't have a clue about it for a short time.

Chen Ziyan didn't know what she was thinking, but was thinking about the next thing, so he said:

"According to the content of the relief, if we want to reach the tomb of King Xian through this gourd cave, we probably have to go to the residence of the mountain god. I don't know if the mountain god is still alive?"

Hu Bayi touched the stubble: "If this mountain god really lived to this day, then he is not a soft stubble."

He now feels that this mountain god is probably some kind of mountain spirit with profound morals and wild monsters, which is a difficult type to deal with.

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he said: "Whether he is a mountain god or a mountain ghost, we men are afraid of him. He is not a soft stubble, and the fat man is tougher than anyone else. Later, I will go to the mountain god with a gun to talk to him." Let’s talk, it’s fine if he obediently makes his way out, but if he dares to say anything, then don’t blame the fat man for shooting him with a gun, and let this gourd cave change its surname in the future!”

"Talking is probably not easy to achieve. Whether this mountain god can communicate is still another matter, and even if he can communicate, this guy hasn't left here for thousands of years, and he can't speak Mandarin." Chen Ziyan teased.

But the meaning in the words is to directly classify this mountain god as an incommunicable type.

Hu Bayi expressed his own thoughts: "If you want me to say that the so-called mountain god is caused by the feudal superstition of the ancients, it is probably some kind of mountain spirit and wild monster with strange abilities. Such precedents abound, and it is not the first time. It happened once."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly thought of the giant green-scaled python he encountered when he came here, and said thoughtfully: "That's the reason, but do you think this mountain god is the giant green-scaled python we met in front of us, this thing In the deep mountains and old forests, it can be regarded as the leader of the first few positions, and this snake loves to eat frogs, so it’s just right.”

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan glanced at the fat man in surprise, but he didn't expect him to think of this, and it really made sense after thinking about it.

If he hadn't known what the so-called mountain god was, he would have been led astray by Wang Kaixuan.

"Look here."

At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly touched Chen Ziyan, motioning him to look at the relief behind him.

Chen Ziyan was a little confused at first, but when he saw the content of the relief, he immediately understood what Shirley Yang meant.

On the relief at the back, the protagonist is still the black-faced deity, but the black-faced deity on this one does not seem to be angry at all, on the contrary, it looks more like a demon head, with an undisguised expression on his cold face. Gloomy.

And surrounded by countless women, these women are obviously corpses, but what is strange is that these female corpses are all upright, with their hands hanging down to the left and right, and their legs arched in an arc, which looks like It's like crawling on anti-knuckles.

Xue Liyang waited until Chen Ziyan finished reading it, and said, "The female corpses here are the same as the ones we saw just now."

While saying this, she couldn't hide a trace of worry on her face.

Now that the existence of the female corpse has been confirmed, most of the so-called gods are also real.

Don't worry about the disdain in her mouth, but she knows in her heart that everyone attaches great importance to this deity.

Hu Bayi also finished reading the content of the relief, and after a little thought, he blurted out: "Could it be a corpse cave? The so-called mountain god is a thousand-year-old zombie who has become a spirit?"

It's not that he overthrew his previous idea, but the content of the relief in front of him is too instructive.

And in Hu Bayi's view, this is a highly probable inference.

If there are any gods waiting behind, then Hu Bayi will not believe it, but if it is a thousand-year-old zombie, then he will not doubt the authenticity of its existence.

No way, as a person who has seen other zongzi with his own eyes, he knows very well that there are such things in this world.

What's more, not far ahead, they also encountered a pseudo-corpse fairy who was about to complete its transformation, so it would not be so unbelievable that there was an old zombie hiding here.

And an old zombie that has become a spirit is better than a corpse fairy hidden inside.

Ever since seeing the high priest, the fake corpse fairy, Hu Bayi has a clear understanding of the corpse fairy's ability, so he doesn't think he and others can deal with this kind of thing.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Leave the old zombies aside, why don't you tell me what happened to these female corpses first, how did you fold all the limbs like this, is there something special about it?"

He hasn't thought of the corpses in the water yet. It's not that his reaction is slow, but that the corpses are hidden in the water without revealing their specific forms.

Hu Bayi didn't answer him, but said to Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, I think we need to have a good discussion about how we should go next."

He felt that it was necessary to be more cautious, if there were really some old zombies who had turned into spirits behind them, they would rush in so rashly, and don't just come to the door to give away the head.

"It's okay, let's find a suitable place later, and we'll make some repairs along the way." Chen Ziyan nodded and agreed.

Seeing Hu Bayi's serious expression, he could probably guess what he was worried about.

Although his imaginary enemy may be different from the actual situation, some things are similar, so we can discuss it first, and guide him a little bit if it doesn't work.

But what Chen Ziyan wants to know most now is whether his domain device can be effective against Huo's undead insects. If so, the next thing will undoubtedly be much simpler.

They said they were looking for a suitable place, but in fact, the location they finally chose was not far from the altar, but it was farther away from the water.

After all, for them now, the hidden threat in the water is the highest. Whether it is the female corpses before or the giant toads that prey on midges, they all need to be cautious.

In order to prevent being attacked, several people did not choose to sit facing each other, but chose to face outward side by side.

In this way, no matter which direction there is movement, they can find it immediately, and there is an inspected mountain wall behind, so there will be no problem.

"I just took a look. There are a lot of fossil trees here, and there are places where they are intertwined with each other, enough for us to walk on them, so now we have an extra way to move forward. What do you think we should choose next?" See No one spoke first, and Chen Ziyan threw bricks at his mouth.

He really wasn't talking nonsense, but he did observe it, because Chen Ziyan knew very well in his heart that this was the purpose of Hu Bayi's proposal for the negotiation.

Now that they have come here, they will never return easily, so the research Hu Bayi said can only be research on how to go next.

And the choice they are currently facing is very simple, there are only two roads, water and land.

If you continue to walk by water, the advantage is that it is fast, and the disadvantage is that you need to face threats from the water at all times.

And if you go through the fossil trees, you don't need to worry about being attacked suddenly, but the branches of these fossil trees are full of all kinds of moss, so it's not too easy to walk.

Although Chen Ziyan didn't say it clearly, the others were not stupid, so they fell into deep thought after he finished speaking.

To put it simply, the two options before us are fast and stable, and there is not much difference in other aspects.

Seeing that everyone was in a state of thinking, Chen Ziyan didn't rush to urge them, but took out the golden mask he had obtained from the jade coffin earlier.

The helmet of the barbarian leader in the relief just now has many similarities with this mask, so he plans to study it now to see if he can find anything on the mask.

Chen Ziyan didn't hide his actions from the others, so they all saw him take out the golden mask, but except for Shirley Yang's thoughtful look, the rest of them didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing Chen Ziyan holding the golden mask in front of his eyes, Shirley Yang thought of a possibility and asked:
"Do you think there will be clues on this?"

Although the composition of the relief is very simple and many details are blurred, she still tried her best to keep the above content in her heart.

So after seeing the golden mask Chen Ziyan took out, he immediately thought of the helmet of the barbarian leader in the relief.

Hearing Xue Liyang's words, Chen Ziyan didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Well, this mask has many similar features with the leader's helmet in the relief, so there should be a connection."

Shirley Yang showed such a look, and asked with some expectation: "Then did you find anything?"

"No." Chen Ziyan shook his head and explained, "The pattern of the inscription on it is too obscure, and I can't understand the specific meaning at all."

The exotic color on the golden mask is too strong, and he, who has not specialized in this area, cannot obtain effective discoveries at all.

Shirley Yang, who got this answer, was a little disappointed, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. It was really expected, so she simply changed the subject and expressed another idea of ​​her own.

"Looking at the condition of the altar, it should have a history of at least 3000 years, while the tomb of the King Xian is only more than 2000 years old, so the order of the two is obvious."

"We can assume that if this secret cave is the only way to the tomb of the king from the outside world, then the so-called mountain god entrenched in the depths can be regarded as the guard responsible for guarding the level. Does that mean that we only need to follow the According to the method on the relief, if you donate enough giant toads to the so-called gods, you will be able to pass there smoothly."

"It's really very possible..." Chen Ziyan thought briefly, and knew that if what Xue Liyang said was true, then he could indeed use this method to pass through the obstacles behind.

Of course, the premise is that they can catch a sufficient number of giant toads.

After all, giant toads will not be caught obediently. It is okay to catch one or two, but it is definitely not easy to catch too many.

The most important thing is that they don't have corresponding capture methods. From the content of the previous relief, it can be seen that the ancestors of the barbarians who used to live here had a set of effective capture methods.

When Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, he heard Shirley Yang continue to say:

"Actually, there is one thing I have never understood. According to my understanding of animal habits, this type of water should not be suitable for toads to live in."

Other people's attention has long been attracted by the conversation between the two. At this moment, hearing Shirley Yang's question, Ding Sitian said:
"Generally speaking, amphibians like toads mostly live in wetlands. I think they will come here in groups, which should be related to the midges just now. It is likely that it is the egg-laying period of these underground insects, so they attract them." these giant toads that lived in other areas."

Because toads can not only produce poison but also be used as medicine, Ding Sitian has a deep understanding of this creature, and came up with this possibility after a little thought.

Hearing Ding Sitian's words, Shirley Yang suddenly nodded: "If you say this, then everything is much more reasonable. Even if the body size is far beyond the ordinary kind, the habits of creatures are engraved on the genetic chain. No changes will be made, and we cannot yet rule out the possibility that these giant midges are good for them."

Chen Ziyan keenly noticed the key here, and asked, "If you say that, doesn't it mean that the waters here are connected to the outside world?"

If you say that, doesn't it mean that their previous conjectures were wrong, you must know that their previous conjectures were limited to the Gourd Cave.

Xue Liyang understood what Chen Ziyan meant, and said with a frown, "This is indeed a point of refutation. If the giant toad does not live here, then our previous guess will be overturned."

Although she hadn't walked all over the Gourd Cave, Xueli Yang was able to confirm that there must be no wetlands in the Gourd Cave.

She felt as if things were stuck in some sort of paradoxical situation.

At least based on the information she has received now, there is no way to give a reasonable explanation for the time being.

In fact, Shirley Yang is a bit of a dead end right now, otherwise she would definitely be able to come up with a reasonable explanation with her wisdom.

It was Ding Sitian who, after thinking for a while, came up with a conjecture: "Is there such a possibility? In fact, the special magnetic field space we guessed is not limited to this gourd hole, but radiates to the entire Worm Valley and even Is it the whole valley?"

Perhaps to increase persuasion, she thought for a while and continued:
"The giant creatures we have seen so far, there are already two kinds of giant pythons and giant toads that may live outside the calabash cave, which is enough to explain a lot."
