Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 466
After staring at the surrounding mountains for a long time, Chen Ziyang did not find the treasure.Because there are likely to be other Gu worms hidden nearby, he didn't dare to act rashly, and could only wait for Shangguan Kangning and the others to search the surroundings before moving to another place to observe.

And Shangguan Kangning's side is not going well.He also only has a little understanding of Gu insects like Heimen, and he doesn't know how to investigate.After using all the Gu worms that can detect other Gu worms on his body, Shangguan Kangning did not find any trace of the black mang, probably because these things were buried relatively deep.

At this time, the disadvantages of caterpillars are revealed.According to common sense, it would be perfect to use the ground caterpillar's keen sense of smell to find other Gu worms, but this method doesn't work now because they are too timid.

Insects like Diqing have a very keen sense of smell. If they are farther away, they can catch the traces of other Gu worms very keenly. The bugs are useless.

Through the sense of smell of the ground green worms, they can detect the smell of a large number of Gu worms nearby, but the two worms have no way to tell Shangguan Kangning exactly where these Gu worms are buried.

Now these two worms are curled up in the bottle and shivering, their timid nature is fully exposed.Even the smell of the pheromone that these two bugs caught before could not attract them.

From the perspective of these two worms, there must be many other Gu worms around, and these unknown creatures can pose a threat to them, so these two little guys simply acted like turtles, and even used them to catch smells. The tentacles were all put away and hidden under the body, apparently unwilling to catch the smell of other insects.

This is something that can’t be helped, after all, these two worms haven’t been completely refined into Gu worms, they do many things by their nature, and they don’t listen to Shangguan Kangning’s words at all, and they can do it to the current level. It's not easy.

After searching for a long time, Shangguan Kangning only confirmed one thing, that is, there are indeed a lot of Gu worms hidden around here, but he has no way to figure out whether these Gu worms are black mangled or how many there are.

The only ones who have gained a bit are Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi.The two spent a lot of effort and were sweating profusely before throwing the two corpses they found at the bottom of the cliff.

Originally, this matter was very easy to do, but because he could not directly touch the corpse, it added a lot of difficulty to this matter.The two of them had no tools at hand, so they could only touch the corpse with the engineering shovel they carried on their bodies, and moved the corpse down the hillside little by little.

After disposing of the two corpses, they searched around again, but found no other poachers. They probably jumped to the bottom of the cliff in a panic under the siege of Heimen.

So the two of them collected the backpacks left by the poachers they found, took out all the tools, ropes and other things that could be used in them, and sorted out the food and water in the backpacks by the way.

The two of them found a total of three backpacks, which contained a lot of food and water, enough for six people to use for several days, which made the two of them very happy. Massive resupply is unlikely.

When the six of them had lunch together, the iron cage containing the clouded leopard rolled over again. It seemed that the little thing locked inside hadn't given up yet and was still trying to break free.

At this time, a few people remembered that they forgot about this thing, completely forgot, and this national first-class protected animal has not been released yet.

So six people surrounded the iron cage and carefully observed the clouded leopard inside.This clouded leopard is not big. If the tail is not counted, the length of the body is about half a meter. It seems that it is still in its infancy.

The clouded leopard looks so cute, without the ferocity of an adult leopard at all, just like a pet.Probably because of a woman's nature, Xu Xiaoyuan couldn't put it down for this little guy, looked left and right around the cage, and timidly stretched out her finger and poked it, almost wanting to take the clouded leopard as a pet up.

Probably because of being locked in the cage for too long, the clouded leopard looked listless, and its eyes were full of fear, looking at the six people outside very vigilantly.

Xu Xiaoyuan's motherhood is rampant, she insists on keeping this little thing to play with for a few days before releasing it.But because there is no raw meat to feed clouded leopards, she can only give up this idea.After opening the cage, the clouded leopard, which had been imprisoned for a long time, ran away without knowing where it was.

After lunch, the six people continued to search for the treasure nearby, but just like in the morning, they still found nothing.

Chen Ziyang took out the map left by Yuan Tiangang again, looked at it repeatedly, and even compared the shapes of some mountains on the map with the outlines of the surrounding mountains, but he still couldn't find any more clues.

When the sun was about to set, the six people were exhausted. They searched almost all of them, but they couldn't find even a trace of man-made, and there was no trace of the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang.

Because they suspected that there were more black gu worms buried under this hillside, the six people looked at this land with some trepidation, and none of them wanted to camp here anymore.So they chose the camping site in the woods to the west of the clearing.

After taking out several Gu insects from his backpack, Shangguan Kangning searched for some thicker trees at the edge of the forest to see if there were any traces of other Gu insects, until he was sure that these trees were very safe , Everyone climbed up the tree one by one, using the trunk as a bed, and rested.

Shangguan Kangning also took out some yellow powder and sprinkled it around the trees where everyone was resting, saying that it could prevent mosquitoes from approaching and also drive away some ferocious beasts.

Although it was cold at night, a few people dared not light a bonfire.joke!If the black maggots were drawn out again, the six people would be bitten into Africans.

Perhaps because of the cold, Chen Ziyang, who was lying on the tree trunk, couldn't sleep at all. He kept thinking about Yuan Tiangang's treasure in his mind.

After thinking about it for half the night, Chen Ziyang also felt a little sleepy, so he leaned against the tree trunk, preparing to fall asleep in a daze, but at this moment, he heard some strange sounds.

"Zhizhi...zhizhi..." Intermittent voices came into Chen Ziyang's ears.At first he thought it was the cry of a mouse, so he didn't pay attention.Force yourself to get those voices out of your head so you can drift off to sleep quickly.

But this kind of voice has always existed, and even became louder and louder, and no matter how hard Chen Ziyang tried, these voices were still lingering in his mind.After listening for a while, he opened his eyes.

"Something's wrong! This doesn't seem to be the sound of a mouse." Although it is not impossible to have mice in the mountains, Chen Ziyang felt that these sounds were different from the sounds of mice, although they sounded the same. Squeaking, but not the same frequency.

Through the bright moonlight, he saw that the other people were sleeping relatively soundly, and the noise was not too loud, so they didn't wake up the other people.

Chen Ziyang became more cautious because of the black daytime Gu worm. He wanted to go to the place where the sound was coming from to find out where the sound was coming from. If there really were another Gu worm coming out If you come, it will be a big deal.

However, the other five people were also exhausted all day, and Chen Ziyang couldn't bear to wake them up, so he climbed down the big tree by himself, took a flashlight, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

"Zhizhi...zhizhi..." When Chen Ziyang came to the open space, the voice sounded again. He listened sideways and roughly judged a direction. The place where the sound came from should be in this open space of the northeast corner.

Now that there is no cover from the trees, and it is closer to the place where the sound came from, the sound is more real. It seems to be the sound of some kind of animal, but it should not be a mouse or a Gu insect.

After walking northeast for a certain distance, Chen Ziyang stopped and waited quietly, waiting for the voice to sound again so that he could point out the direction to him.

Just like that, Chen Ziyang walked slowly in the direction of the voice.Not long after, they came to the mountain wall in the northeast of the clearing.

Here the cliffs on the north and east sides of the clearing meet.I used the flashlight to take photos back and forth on this cliff several times, but Chen Zi didn't see any animals here.During this time, he heard that squeaking sound twice more.

Judging from the sound, the thing making the sound should be right in front of him, but Chen Ziyang couldn't find it, so he felt that the thing making the sound was probably relatively small. It was night and there was not enough light, so He didn't pay attention, so he wanted to take a few steps forward and get closer to the cliff.

Just as Chen Ziyang was walking towards the cliff, he suddenly felt that his foot was empty, and there was no place to exert force on this foot, which caused his body to stagger, and he was about to fall down.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyang reacted very quickly. After he stepped on the ground, he hastily stretched out his hands and firmly grasped a protruding rock on the cliff in front of him. The feet supported his body all of a sudden, so that he would not fall into the empty space.

After his feet were firmly established, Chen Ziyang used the flashlight to shine a light on his feet, and he found that the place he almost fell into just now turned out to be a crack in the mountain, or in other words, the gap between the junction of two mountain walls.

After the cliffs on both sides meet here, the part of the cliff exposed above the ground is integrated into one, as if it is a whole cliff, but in fact, the north and east cliffs are independent. At the bottom, two cliffs squeeze out a long and narrow space like a tunnel, which can't be seen at a glance.

However, due to the terrain, this long and narrow space is slightly lower than the ground, and it is covered by mounds of soil outside, so when Chen Ziyang inspected the surrounding environment during the day, Chen Ziyang didn't notice it at all, if it wasn't for the kind of Weird animal sounds, maybe he still has no way to find out that there is such a place here.

"Squeak..." The animal's cry sounded again, this time Chen Ziyang heard it for real, there was no mistake, the sound came from this narrow and long space.

After shining with the beam of the flashlight for a while, he saw that the inside of this passage was covered with blue moss and many shade-loving plants.Although this passage is relatively narrow, there is no problem for a person to pass by.

The inside of the passage was winding, and the flashlight didn't go very far, so you could only see the stone wall. However, judging from the surrounding shadows, this passage may still be a long way away.

Although Chen Ziyang was full of curiosity now, he didn't dare to go in hastily.The black Gu worms buried under the soil layer alone are already so powerful, if there are even more powerful Gu worms hidden in it, walking in like this is undoubtedly a trap for oneself.

After thinking about it again and again, although Chen Ziyang really wanted to explore this place and look for the animal that made the sound, he still gave up the idea, suppressed his curiosity, and walked back to the big tree where he was camping and climbed up. Go to sleep.

Early the next morning, when everyone just woke up, Chen Ziyang couldn't wait to call them to the bottom of the mountain wall.

Although the sky was not bright at this time, the light was relatively sufficient, and the passage looked clearer.

This is not a cave, but a space between the unevenness of the mountain walls after the two sides of the mountain walls are squeezed together.Wisps of white mist permeated the passage, adding a sense of mystery to the place.

"Squeak..." The sound came from inside again, but now, the sound seemed much smaller, as if the creature that made the sound had no strength.

Now the curiosity of several people was completely aroused by Chen Ziyang, and by the cry of this animal.But just like what Chen Ziyang did before, few people dared to go in hastily.They were all worried that there might be Gu worms hidden in it.It was Shangguan Kangning who took the lead and walked in here first.

Since the appearance of the black worm, Shangguan Kangning's interest is much stronger than the others. He is not for the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang, but is very interested in the worm left by Yuan Tiangang.

The passage in front of everyone is likely to be the path leading to Yuan Tiangang's treasure. There are likely to be many kinds of Gu insects that disappeared thousands of years ago. No wonder Shangguan Kangning is so impatient.

As he walked slowly, he explored the surrounding situation, and at the same time took out some Gu worms that could give an early warning, and used them to open the way.
