Chapter 57: Plum Tree, Cliff Cave! [Read more]

"Huang Can, your snake medicine doesn't seem to work."

"Brother, this is snake medicine, not a magic pill. I've said it before, it only works on some snakes. Some snakes just aren't afraid of the taste. What can I do?"

"What you said before is mostly."

"Don't worry about these details. In fact, the venom of the king cobra is not the most poisonous. It's just that the amount of venom they release is very large. If you are bitten, if you treat it in time and take my snake medicine, there is still a great hope of survival..."

……

Two people were rafting by the pond, chatting casually.

The efficiency was quite fast and the work was completed in less than half an hour.

The raft was pushed into the water and floated steadily on the surface.

The test was successful.

Full sense of accomplishment.

The two men stood on the raft, sprinkled some realgar powder on it, and then paddled the raft towards the cave.

only……

Neither of them seemed to have rowed a boat before, and they had a hard time grasping the direction.

"Come on, brother, can you row?"

"This way, this way."

"No, over there..."

"Be careful, you're going to hit a rock."

……

He was in a panic and spun around in the pool of water for a while before slowly getting the hang of it.

Entering the cave, it was dark and gloomy.

In the cave.

The humidity was very high, and water was dripping from the cave walls like rain, drawing circles on the surface of the water.

Huang Can sat at the front of the row and paddled, while Chen Yang sat at the end of the row and used a flashlight to check the surrounding situation.

There were some bats hanging here and there on the walls of the cave, all of them were sleeping, and the strong light of the flashlight did not wake them up.

Apart from the sound of water dripping, there was only the sound of paddling.

The surrounding environment is eerily quiet.

However, we didn't encounter any danger along the way.

The raft moved forward along the current for five or six hundred meters, and a light appeared ahead.

exit.

After a moment, the front suddenly became clear.

There was a dirt slope at the exit, the raft was blocked by the slope, and the water flowed into the underground from the bottom of the slope.

The two men climbed up the slope and pulled the raft up.

At this time, there were two simple rafts on the slope.

Needless to say, most of them were left behind by Song Daneng and his men.

Chen Yang looked around. Behind him was a high cliff, or rather, there were high cliffs all around him.

It looks like there should be a cavity area in the middle of the mountain.

It is about two hundred meters in radius. Looking up, you can see a ray of skylight. The cliff walls are covered with moss and vines.

The light was not dim, and there was even sunlight coming through.

There were weeds everywhere, and even two crooked plum trees with a few plums on them.

Huang Can walked over, looked up, and picked two of them.

"Don't eat anything from the mountains."

Chen Yang gave a reminder. He was quite cautious.

"It's just a plum. What's the problem?"

Huang Can, on the other hand, looked nonchalant. "Can a crisp red plum be poisonous?"

As he said that, he threw one to Chen Yang.

It is indeed a crisp red plum, but it grows in a place where it does not see much sunlight, so the color of the fruit is not that bright.

Chen Yang took a look at it, didn't eat it, and threw it away.

A bit too cautious.

Huang Can rubbed the plum in his hand and was about to take a bite, but when he saw Chen Yang's actions, he couldn't bring himself to eat it.

He was so upset that he threw away the plum in his hand.

Be careful, that's right.

After all, this is Mixiangou.

The two separated and searched around. "Chen Yang, there are footprints here."

The place was not big, and they soon made a discovery. Huang Can shouted under a cliff.

Not only on the ground, but also on the cliffs.

The footprints are very fresh, probably having been left not long ago.

Chen Yang followed the footprints and looked up.

You can vaguely see a big tree growing on the cliff about forty or fifty meters above, and there seems to be a cave behind the tree.

After stepping back a distance and looking again, there is indeed a hole.

It is blocked by big trees and vines and is backlit, so it is easily overlooked.

Unknown vines were entwined around the big tree, hanging down along the cliff wall, and reaching the bottom of the cliff.

If nothing unexpected happens, the owner of these footprints climbed up by pulling on these vines.

Golden bell vine!
A climbing plant.

The Fujiko is thicker than an adult's thumb.

Chen Yang reached out and pulled it, and it was indeed very strong.

After experiencing the Polygonum multiflorum incident, Chen Yang had an instinctive resistance to these vines.

Although, this is not Polygonum multiflorum.

However, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

The golden bell vine is also called the multi-flowered wild boar vegetable because wild boars eat it.

They parasitize on trees, grow upwards along the tree trunk, spread out at the top of the tree, forming a large net that wraps the tree crown. The flowers are golden yellow, so they are called golden bell vines.

They reproduce very quickly. Young trees will be entangled and deformed by them, making it difficult for them to grow. Adult trees will be blocked from sunlight by them and gradually die. They can be considered killers of the forest.

"Uncle Da Neng!"

"Song Da Neng!"

The two shouted a few more times towards the cliff.

no respond.

"Chiji..."

At this time, a familiar voice came from the cave.

Immediately, a nimble figure jumped out, leaped a few times on the tree, and slid down along a vine very nimbly.

It’s the Monkey King.

"Cousin, what did you find inside?" Huang Can asked happily.

Chen Yang rolled his eyes. If it could understand what you said, then there must be something fishy going on.

"Chiji..."

The Monkey King ignored Huang Can and just stepped forward to pull Chen Yang.

Then he turned around and climbed up the tree on the cliff with a few leaps. He pointed at the entrance of the cave and shouted at Chen Yang.

It was obviously telling Chen Yang that it had found something in the cave.

"You watch from below, I'll go up and take a look."

Chen Yang left a word and started climbing up by pulling the vine.

"You be careful."

Huang Can shouted from below.

Chen Yang was quite agile and he climbed to the top of the tree in just a few breaths.

This is also a plum tree.

The tree was covered with campanula vines, and its branches were already withering, indicating that it would not live long.

"Chiji..."

The Monkey King had already jumped into the cave on the cliff.

The plum tree grew out of a rock crevice next to the cave entrance. Its trunk was as big as a bowl, more than enough to bear the weight of one or two people.

Chen Yang moved to the entrance of the cave, leaped up and jumped in.

The cave is not big, only one person tall, the light is not very good, it is dark, and because of the humidity, there is a musty smell in the air.

Chen Yang turned on the flashlight and looked around. The ground was a little muddy and many messy footprints could be seen.

Only ten meters away from him, there was a figure sitting against the cave wall.

Chen Yang's heart tightened. He walked closer and took a look. He was so scared that he almost dropped the flashlight.

Skeleton.

A skeleton that has turned into bones.
