Chapter 58: The Peacock Pattern
A large peacock pattern appears at the bottom of the cave. The whole peacock pattern is concave and convex, lifelike, and comes to life in the light of the torch.
"These huge animals actually make up such a pattern!" Wen Bufan said.
"If it weren't for the huge animals we saw below, we would really think that they were big peacocks all the time!" Isabel said.
"It's definitely not a natural cave." Wen Bufan said: "There must be an exit!" ”
Wen Bufan took advantage of the firelight to look around, and when the three of them climbed, they left the torches underneath, and then they could see the surroundings, but it was not real.
"Try it with water!" Isabel said, and after speaking, she took out a pill of Jushui Pill from her bosom, stuck it on the mountain wall, and turned it directly into water, and part of the water fell directly, and some of it slowly flowed down the wall.
When Isabel used the third pill of Gathering Water, the water on the walls finally converged into a straight line!
The three of them glanced at each other excitedly, Wen Bufan groped along the straight line with his hand, and after a while, said, "This is it!" Isabel melted another Shui Dan, and the water flowed into the wall to form a rectangle more than two meters high.
"The door was found, but how did it open?" Bao Mei looked at the door and said.
Wen Bufan tried, but he couldn't push it away.
"Get out of the way." Wen Bufan directly pulled out the Yukun sword.
Isabel and Baomei retreated to the side, Wen Bufan jumped up and inserted the Yukun sword into the straight line, pulled it horizontally along the straight line, pulled it to the end and slashed downward, cutting all four sides of the door!
Wen Bufan put away the Yukun sword, stepped aside, looked at the little monkey and said, "The rest will be left to you!" ”
The little monkey realized, jumped to his feet, quickly transformed in the air, and slammed into the door, and after a bang, a blinding ray of sunlight shone in.
"It's open!" Bao Mei shouted happily.
The three of them walked out in the sunshine, and Bao Mei greedily breathed in the fresh air and said happily: "It's better to be outside!" The little monkey, who had turned back into a small monkey, shook off the dust on his body and jumped onto Baomei's shoulder.
Wen Bufan and Isabel looked at their location, it was a half-hillside, with mountains and mountains in the distance, and the scenery was good. Descending down the hillside, there is a flat ground on which there seem to be large boulders of all kinds.
"Let's go down and have a look." Wen Bufan said.
The three of them walked to the flat ground below the hillside, "There are traces of construction here. Isabel said.
Wen Bufan looked at the stones on the ground that were already deeply embedded in the ground, and then walked towards the stones on both sides, which were actually some stone carvings of various forms.
"Look there!" Isabel said to Wen Bufan.
Wen Bufan turned around and saw that the hillside they had just come out of was actually a cone-shaped peak, although the peak was also lush and green, but the entire peak as a whole was a regular cone.
"It's a building!" Wen Bufan said: "Looking at the regulations here, as well as the animals we found inside, and we didn't find the treasure, it is very likely that this is a mausoleum." ”
"So the cave we came out of, except for those huge animals, didn't find anything?" Bao Mei said.
"The circular loop down there, there should be a way to somewhere." Isabel said.
"Why don't we go back and have a look?" Bao Mei said.
In fact, Wen Bufan also wanted to go back and have a look, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to go for the time being.
"Let's take a look around here first to see if there's any news of Arodick." Wen Bufan's gaze was cast into the distance.
"This should be a hidden place of the Peacock Tribe, and Arodick may really be nearby!" Isabel said.
Wen Bufan took out the compass from his arms and looked at it, and the needle of the compass began to rotate again, and finally pointed to the cone-shaped building.
Wen Bufan put away the compass, looked at the stones on both sides and said, "Let's follow this road." ”
The three of them walked forward along the road in the middle of the stones, and after walking not far, a mountain path actually appeared, but Wen Bufan and they were in the middle of this mountain path at this time.
"Again, it leads in two directions." Bao Mei said.
Wen Bufan looked up at the sky, then at the surrounding trees, and said, "This side leads to the northwest, and the other side leads to the southeast, but I don't know the direction of Peacock City." ”
"The lake is in the north-to-east direction of Peacock City, and then we've been walking in that direction, and no matter how we walk in the cave, we won't get around much in terms of time, so Peacock City is on the west side." Isabel said.
"Then if we want to go back to Peacock Villas and go west, then let's go southeast first and see what's there!" Wen Bufan said.
The three of them walked all the way to the southeast along the mountain path, although the mountain path was rugged and difficult, but the three of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the mountains all the way, talked and laughed, but did not feel that the mountain road was difficult.
Not long after walking, I heard the sound of gurgling water, and I went around a hillside. A creek appeared. The mountain trail joins the path by the stream.
The three of them came to the creek and looked up and down, "Go up and have a look first!" Wen Bufan said.
"Good!"
The three men had not gone far when a river valley appeared.
"Someone is talking inside!" Bao Mei said.
Wen Bufan glanced around and said, "Go around from there." ”
The three men continued upwards for a while, up a hill, and skirted the hillside towards the valley. After walking a short distance, I saw a few triangular houses made of trees. The room was very high, and the sound of speech came from the house.
Wen Bufan and they didn't get too close, and Bao Mei could already hear the people in the house.
After a while, someone from the house came out, stood at the door for a while, said a few words, and left.
Then the room fell silent. The three of them stepped back and came to a place.
Bao Mei said: "They are talking about how to release their prince, one person seems to be the prince of the Peacock Tribe, and the other person asks how to release their prince, but after putting forward several conditions, the other party does not let go!" ”
"What are the conditions?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Gold, silver and jewelry, it seems that it can be given to a city." Bao Mei said: "But the other party didn't agree." ”
"These conditions are normal. Aren't the people here the ones who helped Arodic in the first place? Wen Bufan said.
"Oh, by the way, the person who held the prince of the Peacock tribe was a woman!" Bao Mei said.
