Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 469
After turning a corner, the six people running wildly felt that the environment here was obviously different.The moment he turned the corner, the sound of the rumbling water became louder, and the water vapor rushed towards his face. Obviously, the waterfall that made the sound and water vapor should be ahead.

After turning the corner, Chen Ziyang saw that the cracks in this section of the mountain were obviously much brighter, and the light was relatively sufficient.Since entering the crevice of the mountain, although everyone can see the blue sky above their heads, the rock walls on both sides are too high, the sunlight can't get in much at all, and the crevice has always been relatively dark.

But now in front of the gap, you can see the bright sunlight, and judging from the sound, the sound of rumbling water is coming from there. At this moment, all the people are refreshed, and maybe they can get rid of the people behind them there. Bone eater.

After cutting a deep gash in his palm again, Chen Ziyang threw some blood behind him, and used his own blood to stop the pursuit of the bone-eating insects and slow down their pursuit.

Although he is not quite sure that the terrain in front can get rid of these nasty Gu worms, but any possibility cannot be let go, buying a little time now will allow a few people to have more time to check and use it after they get there. the surrounding environment.

At this time, the blood in the blood bags in the hands of Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi had already been sprayed out, and the two of them discovered one thing at the same time, that is, the rock walls on both sides are no longer those used as bones. The hole in the worm's nest.

It seems that after running wildly for this period of time, the six people have already escaped from the gathering place of the bone-eating insects, and the most urgent task now is to get rid of the bone-eating insects that are still chasing behind them.

At this time, there were no one knew how many bone-eating insects were chasing the six people in the crevices of the mountain. These smaller insects were crowded one by one, stacked one on top of the other, densely packed together, like a Like a sea wave made up of bugs, it followed closely behind several people.

Fortunately, Yang Lei and Ushi Shuai used Chen Ziyang's blood to make many bone-eating insects stay on the rock wall, and then they were left behind. Otherwise, the bone-eating insects following a few people would be afraid Not only these.

When approaching the waterfall, the terrain suddenly changed.Although the ground between the mountains where everyone ran before is high and low, it is generally relatively flat, but now there is a slope with a relatively steep slope under the feet of a few people, so that they almost fell when they just stepped here. fall.

After a stagger, Chen Ziyang hurriedly stabilized his figure. At this moment, he suddenly felt a light on his head, and felt a burst of warmth. It turned out that the sun had already shone on his body.

After raising his head, Chen Ziyang looked around at the fastest speed and saw the surrounding terrain clearly.

The six people were running on a huge rock. This rock protruded from a shaft. The area of ​​this shaft was not small. Judging from the traces of the surrounding rocks, this shaft should have been washed out by water.

Above the shaft is a large area of ​​blue sky, and below the shaft is a dark green pool, obviously the water inside is very deep.The distance from the rock to the water surface accounts for about one-third of the height of the entire shaft, and it is at a relatively lower position. Although it is only one-third of the height, it is almost 30 meters.

A waterfall with a width of seven or eight meters hung down against the rock wall on the other side of the shaft. After the water in the waterfall fell into the deep pool, it made a rumbling sound and splashed a lot of water.

"What should I do now!" Because the sound of the water was too loud, Yang Lei could only put his mouth close to Chen Ziyang's ear when he was talking, and shouted loudly. If he didn't do this, others would not listen to anything at all. less than.

Now the six people have stopped, the protruding part of this rock is covered with moss, and the flowing water in the waterfall slaps on the nearby rocks, splashing a lot of water, making it very slippery.

The tip of the protruding rock is only more than two meters away from the rock wall where the waterfall is located, which means that this protruding rock occupies most of the area of ​​the deep well, except for the surrounding rock walls that are vertically upward and downward. , there is no place where everyone can hide from the bone worm.

Looking at the pitch-black pool, Chen Ziyang felt apprehensive for a while. He didn't know if he would be safe if he jumped so high, but now it seems that this is the only way to escape. Worms are not afraid of water, so will they jump down with them?

"Hey! There seems to be a space there!" Xu Xiaoyuan shouted desperately, while gesturing to several other people, trying to attract their attention.

After all, she was a woman, and her voice was too low to compare with these water sounds. Without this method, the other people would not be able to hear her talking.

Looking in the direction Xu Xiaoyuan pointed, Chen Ziyang saw that there was indeed a depression behind the water curtain of the waterfall.

In the middle of the waterfall, there are several slightly raised rocks. These rocks have no edges and corners, and should be rounded shapes formed after years of erosion by the waterfall.

When the flowing water in the waterfall passes through these rocks, it will separate to the two sides, forming a place where there is no water on the waterfall, as if a big hole has been broken in the waterfall, and then the water flow will re-converge in the waterfall not far below. Together.

Under the cover of the water splash, the "hole" on this waterfall appears and disappears from time to time. Through the sunlight above the shaft, it can be seen that there seems to be a very huge space behind the hole in the waterfall. Thinking about it this way, in front of you This waterfall is actually the same as the water curtain in front of Shuilian Cave.

"I can't control that much anymore, rush over!" Chen Ziyang shouted loudly.When he turned his head just now, he saw that the blood thrown out by him had been licked clean by those bone-eating insects, and the "wave" formed by the bone-eating insects rushed towards several people again, and within a few seconds, the insect swarm It will swallow a few people.

Seeing that Shangguan Kangning did not say anything to stop him, Chen Ziyang was the first to fly forward. He took two quick steps on the raised rock, stepped on the tip of the raised rock, and at the same time slammed one foot With force, he jumped over a distance of more than two meters.

After feeling the water splashing on his body, Chen Ziyang knew that he had passed through the water flow of the waterfall.Probably because it didn't take long to cross the waterfall, the water didn't wet his clothes too much, just a small piece.

After passing through the water, Chen Ziyang felt his feet touch the ground, but because the ground was slippery and he didn't adjust his center of gravity properly, he fell directly to the ground.

Fortunately, he curled up his body and protected his head with the force of his forward charge.After gliding on the ground for a while, Chen Ziyang raised his head.

Several other people also jumped into the back of the waterfall one after another, but nothing happened. Only Yang Lei made a small episode.

It may be because the moss on the stone was made more slippery by the previous few people running. Yang Lei, who was the last to jump, only felt that his feet slipped, and he didn't borrow any strength at all. After jumping forward for a short distance , his body suddenly sank, falling towards the direction of the pool.

Fortunately, the distance needed to jump is only more than two meters, and Shuai Shi, who had jumped to the back of the waterfall before, focused on the bone-eating insect behind him. He saw Yang Lei's feet slipping, so he leaned out and grabbed Yang Lei. Ray's arm pulled him up again.

Almost at the moment Yang Lei took off, the "wave" composed of bone-eating insects chased to the protruding rock.

Fortunately, these bone-eating insects can't fly, and they seem to be more afraid of water. After the "wave" chased to the protruding rock, it stopped.

But those bone-eating insects behind the "wave" couldn't see the situation ahead at all, and they were still chasing forward crazily. These bone-eating insects hit the "wave" in front one by one, directly smashing " The waves" broke apart.

Countless bone-eating worms rushed forward, and these little ones flew towards the waterfall, but were mercilessly blocked by the water of the waterfall, and were washed into the deep pool below. Not a single bone-eating worm Worms are able to jump over waterfalls.

After the "wave" composed of bone-eating insects broke up, a large number of bone-eating insects kept wandering on the protruding rock.Probably because the waterfall cut off the smell from Chen Ziyang's body, the bone-eating insects lingered for a while, and then slowly dispersed.

"My god, I bet right this time. It turns out that these bugs are really afraid of water." Yang Lei sighed, ignoring the moisture on the ground, and lay there directly, panting heavily.

Chen Ziyang also wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly glanced at Shangguan Kangning's direction from the corner of his eyes.

Although Shangguan Kangning looked tired at this time, something was missing on his face, the joy of surviving after a catastrophe was missing on the faces of the other five people.It was as if he had known for a long time that several people would be safe.

The reason why he was able to notice this was because Chen Ziyang found that when he was running on the road, Shangguan Kangning's right hand was always inside his skirt, as if he was holding something tightly.

Combining these points, Chen Ziyang estimated that Shangguan Kangning should have a method to deal with those bone-eating insects, but the number of times this method can be used is limited, or the price paid is too high, so Shangguan Kangning has not used it.

He estimated that if there was a dead end in front of everyone, Shangguan Kangning would probably use his methods.This reassured Chen Ziyang a lot. Now that he had escaped the bone-eating insect by luck, if he encountered any other dangers, there would be Shangguan Kangning's means, which could be regarded as a hole card.

After seeing that the bone-eating insects had completely dispersed, several people turned their attention to the surroundings and looked at the surrounding environment.

This is a semi-open cave. Apart from the several-meter-wide entrance hidden behind the waterfall that everyone jumped into, there are still many places in the cave that are connected to the outside world. not found.Especially above this cave, there is another place where you can see the blue sky, just like opening a skylight.

The entire cave has an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. Apart from the moss-covered stones, there is nothing special in the cave.

Each of the six people searched the cave with their flashlights on. Firstly, they wanted to see if there were any clues, and secondly, they wanted to find out the danger in advance.

After searching around for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that a small stone got into his shoe, which hurt his feet when walking, so he walked to a half-meter-high stone that looked like a stalagmite , holding the stone with one hand, and pouring the pebbles out of the shoe with the other.

Just as Chen Ziyang put on his shoes again and was about to continue searching nearby, his foot slipped, and his foot that had just landed stepped on a large piece of wet moss.Chen Ziyang, who lost his balance, leaned against the rock and slid down.

When he stood up staggeringly and slapped the dust off his body, he was surprised to find that there were some lines on the stalagmite-like stone just now.

These lines are carved on the stone, very regular, it must be man-made, but it was filled with moss before, so no one noticed it.

Coincidentally, when Chen Ziyang fell just now, his back slid down the stone, and wiped off most of the moss attached to the surface of the stone, so these dents were exposed .

After continuing to clean the stone for a while, Chen Ziyang removed the moss growing on the surface of the stone, revealing the entire pattern.

The textures on the stone form a pattern, which looks like a bird and a bug. It has a Picasso style and is very abstract. Chen Ziyang can't figure out what it is, but He felt that this pattern was somewhat similar to those on the gu books he had seen before.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly turned his head and shouted to Shangguan Kangning: "Shangguan Kangning! Come here!"

Chen Ziyang's shout attracted the attention of five other people, and everyone gathered here, but except for Shangguan Kangning, the other few people didn't know anything about this pattern.

However, with Chen Ziyang's discovery, several other people have something to do. Taking advantage of Shangguan Kangning's research on the pattern, several other people also discovered other patterns on some strangely shaped stones around them. some patterns.

All of a sudden, Shangguan Kangning was very busy, he kept running around, looking at the patterns discovered by everyone one after another.Some patterns he just glanced at and then left, while some patterns he had to stare at for a long time, thinking about something in front of the pattern.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Chen Ziyang asked impatiently.

"Here... here should be a tribe of witchcraft. Most of the patterns we see are signs of witchcraft."
