Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 467
The ground was covered with moss and was very slippery. Several people could only walk forward slowly while holding onto the stone walls on both sides.

Just two steps away, Shangguan Kangning, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and said, "Someone has been here before."

Chen Ziyang poked his head out and cast his gaze in front of Shangguan Kangning. He saw that in this path, the soil layer on the ground was rolled up in several places, and even the moss on it was thrown to the ground. On the side, the stone below was exposed.

There was more than one trace like this on the ground. Chen Ziyang found three or four traces at a glance. The distance between these traces was more than one meter. They looked like footprints, probably when someone walked here before. stay.

Judging from the distance between these footprints, when this person walked forward here, his strides were very large, as if he was running.

Then he looked to both sides of the stone wall. On some protruding rocks, he could see some traces of friction. Some of the longer plants had been broken off, and a lot of moss on the stone wall had been wiped off. , it seems that this person was very flustered when he was running, and he didn't care about the collision at all.

The place where the moss was opened is still relatively damp, and the soil that has come down has not been completely dried. It is estimated that it will not take too long to open it. This person should have run over not long ago, and it is very likely that he is one of the poachers. .

"Maybe it's a poacher, be careful when walking forward." Chen Ziyang reminded, Shangguan Kangning nodded, and then led the team to move forward.

The narrowest part of this passage can only allow one person to pass through, and the wide part can only barely allow two people to walk side by side, so the six people lined up in a straight line and walked forward one by one.

"Squeak..." Just as several people approached the first turning, the creak sounded again, which caught the attention of several people.

Although the sound didn't sound very loud, several people could hear it. The place where the call came from was not far in front of here, and it was very likely that they would be able to see it after turning this corner.

Because they didn't know what kind of animal made this cry, several people were all on high alert.Shangguan Kangning, who was walking in the front, slowly stretched out his head and looked to the other side of the corner.After looking at it for a while, he waved to the people behind him. Obviously, the front was safe.

After several other people turned the corner, they saw that the passage on the other side of the corner was still sandwiched by two mountains, but it was wider here.

The ground is covered with gravel, and there is very little moss growing on the gravel.Chen Ziyang looked up, and a line of blue sky was exposed at a very high place. It turned out that the upper parts of the two mountains were not completely closed. Except for many protruding rocks squeezed together, most of the mountains were separated. Created this line of sky landscape.

"Squeak..." The cry sounded again, and this time they heard it clearly. The cry came from under their feet, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and looked around. After a while, Yang Lei saw what was making the sound.

"Er Yang, isn't that the little panda that was caught by poachers before!"

Looking in the direction of Yang Lei's finger, Chen Ziyang saw that a red panda was stuck in a crevice of a stone, its tail and head were exposed from the stone, but its body was stuck tightly.

The little panda looks very embarrassed now, its whole body is dirty, covered with moss and mud.Seeing someone coming here, the little thing squeaked again. I don't know if it was because of fear, or because it wanted these people to help it.

"This little thing must have been frightened when it ran away. When it saw a crevice in the rock, it burrowed in, but it didn't expect to squeeze itself here. Fortunately, we found out, otherwise this little thing would probably die here. gone."

Speaking of this, Chen Ziyang felt a little ridiculous. Last night, he was so scared by this kind of cry that he didn't dare to go in here to investigate.

"Chen Daochang, do you have any sympathy? Why didn't you save such a cute little thing earlier? You insisted on taking a nap before bringing us here together. Do you like sleeping so much? In such a cold day, you actually Let this little thing stay here all night, fortunately it didn't die, otherwise I wouldn't be able to spare you." Xu Xiaoyuan said angrily.

"This... I..." Chen Ziyang had a feeling that he couldn't explain it. This is really a scholar who meets a soldier, and he can't explain why.Although he knows that this matter is not bad for him, he must not reason with women, women are always right!So he had to keep his mouth shut.

Seeing Chen Ziyang's suffocated expression, Yang Lei and Shuai Shi, who were prying the stones on both sides with their engineering shovels, covered their mouths and secretly laughed.

After a while, Xu Xiaoyuan pulled the little panda out of the rock and held it in his hands.

Counting the time, this little panda has been stuck in the crevice of the rock for a day and a night, and it may even be longer.Now this little thing is dying, listless, and even the cry is weak.

It may be because of being stuck in the crevice of the stone and struggling violently. There are many scratches on the red panda's body. The deepest one has exposed the flesh under the fur, and a lot of hair on the body has been rubbed off.Moreover, one of the little panda's legs has been injured, and it is estimated that there is no way to run anymore.

Taoist Xiaoyuan was once again full of motherhood, feeding this little thing with the water in her backpack, and at this moment, Chen Ziyang saw a mountaineering boot appearing in the shadows in front of her.

Only at this time did he realize that many of the gravels on the ground were stained with mud, and the places where the mud was stained were darker in color. They should have been in contact with the ground before, and it seemed that these stones should also have been turned up by the previous man when he was running. of.

The person in front should be one of the poachers. From the perspective of this hiking boot, this person is lying on the ground. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to escape from the poisonous mouth of the black man. died.

When approaching this person, Ushishi Shuai felt that something tripped under his feet. He looked down and found that the thing he kicked just now was a curved bone, which was not very long. Long, it should be the ribs of some animal.

With the reminder of this bone, several other people discovered that there were still many animal bones scattered in this passage.

Chen Ziyang looked up at Yixiantian. He guessed that these animals all fell to their deaths here after falling from there.

Stepping on animal bones and rocks, several people came to the front of the poacher's body.It was found that the clothes and trousers worn by this person were all deflated.

This corpse gives people a very weird feeling, it does not look like a normal corpse, but like someone deliberately made a human shape with clothes and pants, but the hair in front of the collar of the clothes tells everyone that this should be It was indeed a corpse.

Usashi Shuai carefully turned the corpse with an engineering shovel, but when the shovel touched the clothes, he felt something was wrong, and the inside of the clothes seemed to be empty.

With a violent push, Ushishi Shuai turned the corpse's clothes over with a shovel.Everyone gasped. There was no corpse under the clothes, but a skeleton.

"My God, where is the flesh on this man? Could it be that he has turned into blood?" Jin Huang said in surprise.

"Impossible. It takes three days for a person who died after being poisoned by the Black Poison Gu to turn into blood. This person has been dead for more than a day. It is impossible to become like this. He must have been eaten by something. "Shangguan Kangning said with certainty.

"Eat? Brother Shangguan, are you kidding me? The poison of the black mang Gu worm is so poisonous, what dares to eat such a corpse? Besides, even if it is eaten, those things should be poisoned to death, but the nearby There is no corpse of any beast?" Shuai Sanshi retorted.

"This..." Shangguan Kangning shook his head, and he didn't understand the reason.

"My God, look at these stone walls. Why are there so many densely packed holes on them? I, a trysophobia person, feel very uncomfortable when I see them, and goose bumps all over my body." Yang Lei used two He kept groping on his arm with one hand, and said after shivering.

At this time, several people discovered that the rock walls on both sides near the corpse were covered with tiny black holes.These holes are dark and densely packed, like a huge colander.

The rock wall covered with black holes is very long and very high, and the boundary cannot be seen at all, as if the two rock walls are all covered with such holes.

"Not good! Go back!" Shangguan Kangning roared, turned around and ran back. His movement was too sudden and his running speed was too fast. The other people were caught by him without any precaution. After bumping into five people, Shangguan Kangning ran forward without looking back.

Being bumped suddenly by Shangguan Kangning, the little panda that was held in Xu Xiaoyuan's arms before was knocked out and landed next to the poacher's body.The little guy was already dying, and his leg was injured, and with such a fall, he was stunned and at a loss.

At this time, Xu Xiaoyuan was a little confused, thinking that this cute thing could not be abandoned here, so she wanted to take a few steps forward to hug the little panda.But just after she took a step, she was stopped by Chen Ziyang.

"Don't stand there stupidly, run!" Although Chen Ziyang didn't know what happened, he knew that the thing that could scare Shangguan Kangning like that must be very powerful. Staying five people here is tantamount to waiting for death.So he grabbed Xu Xiaoyuan's arm in a hurry, dragged her and ran back together, and the other three people also left there.

Shangguan Kangning, who ran wildly out of the cracks in the mountain, swooped down on the grass, panting heavily, and the five people who ran out after him were also panting.

"I...I said...Brother Shangguan, you are too sudden, what can scare you like you have seen a ghost. Let me tell you, I have seen ghosts, and they are not as scary as you imagined. "Even when he was not breathing well, Yang Lei did not forget to tease Shangguan Kangning a few words.

"You...you know what a fart! Although I have never seen a ghost, I know that the things in the mountain are much more powerful than ghosts. If you don't play anymore, this place can't be played, and if you play any more, you will die. Lost."

"What's in it?" Chen Ziyang felt a little curious. Gu masters like Shangguan Kangning are very scary in the eyes of others, and he couldn't imagine that there is something that can scare him like this.

"Stone Gu worms are Gu worms raised in rocks. This kind of worm's mouth is very powerful, and even hard rocks can be bitten open by them. These things like to build nests in stones. The one we saw The black spot is the passage leading to their lair bitten by these Gu insects."

"Ah? There are insects that can bite rocks!" Not only Yang Lei was surprised, but several other people were also shocked.

"That's right, stone Gu worms, the homonym is also called bone-eating worms, which means that they can even break the bones of animals. I guess, the bones of those animals and the poacher were eaten by these Gu worms." The flesh and blood, so there are only a lot of bones left.

Because the mouths of these things are very powerful, they gnaw things very fast, and these things live in groups, a large number of bone-eating insects swarm up, even an elephant will be gnawed to nothing in 10 minutes. Next pile of bones.

Fortunately, we ran fast just now, otherwise, when these things crawled out of the rock wall, we would not even have a chance to escape, and everything would become these guys' lunch.

I guess the reason why these things didn't attack us just now is because the poacher had already fed them the day before. Fortunately, this kid ran into there by mistake and became our scapegoat, otherwise we would be reckless It's time for us to lie down there. "

"Oh my god! My little panda!" Xu Xiaoyuan shouted heart-piercingly.

"Stop shouting, the little panda has turned into a pile of bones. If you pick up the bones, maybe you can put them together into a skeleton specimen."

"This is difficult..." Chen Ziyang frowned and thought.According to Shangguan Kangning, it seems that there is no way to move forward on this passage.

"Shangguan Kangning, do you have a way to go through that passage?"

"Ah? I've reached this point, you have to keep going! Crazy, you are really crazy." Shangguan Kangning said while shaking his head.

"But... is there a way... It's not impossible, I need your blood, a lot of blood!"

"Hey, you're just sitting on the floor, I wonder if those bugs are as powerful as you said, are you trying to scare us on purpose, just to get more Zi Yang's blood." Yang Lei said.
