Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 179, Demon Cave Remains
Now I don't know Luo Qiong's location, I don't believe in those guys from the Wu Clan. Pulled out the signal flare from his arms, and after thinking about it, he still didn't send it out, after all, if the people of the Wu clan still want to attack us, then won't my signal flare be tantamount to exposing himself after it is sent out?
According to my calculations, the direction Luo Qiong was walking at that time should not be very far away from us, but it is difficult to calculate how far he can run out after leaving me. But with an old man, now that the sky is getting dark, he should find a place to rest.
I climbed down from the tree, and was about to walk back, when suddenly I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a hare dead next to the tree. I stepped forward and kicked with my foot, but I didn't expect to see a hole in the hare's belly, this death made me feel a little strange, squatted down and took a closer look, the location of the hole was actually close to the hare's chest, I inserted it with a branch and stirred it, the blood had dried up, it felt like the hole was empty, and I didn't touch anything like a heart or flesh.
I simply split the hare's belly, and at this glance I found that the hare that died under the tree was completely empty except for the skin sac, and the flesh and organs were all gone, except for the bones.
"Strange ......," I muttered, and when I looked back, my eyes were stunned, and not far from the tree there was another dead rabbit that had fallen to the ground, and I walked over it, and the dead was the same as the previous one, and then I saw that there was another dead thing not far away, but this time it was not a rabbit but a bird, and the same was true. I stood up and looked into the distance, and there were dead animals all along the way.
As you walk along the dead animals, the surrounding trees and flowers are also trampled. There seems to be some monster passing through these lands while eating the entrails of these animals.
As I went, even a rough calculation showed that there were seventeen or eighteen dead things, large and small, mostly voles, hares, and the like, and some birds. If you don't see large beasts and ferocious animals, could it be some kind of demon race? I've actually always wondered why there are no demon clans in this Guyi Forest. Assuming that Gu Yilin is not part of the Dragon Plains Ancient Land, in fact, I have not felt the dragon qi or found any traces of the dragon clan here.
It is normal that there are no demons in the ancient land of Longyuan, how can the demon clan be allowed to exist on the territory of the dragon clan, even if the dragon clan is dead, those giants more than three meters tall are even more vicious, and the demon clan is the same as food in their eyes.
If Gu Yilin was not a part of the Dragon Plains Ancient Land, and there were no traces of the existence of giants and dragons, it would not be unusual for the demon clan to appear here. But after thinking about it, there are so many witches here, can the demon clan exist?
The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and I looked for the dead body on the ground, but I didn't think that the last thing I saw was a small cave, and it could be seen from the footprints on the ground at the entrance of the cave and the vegetation around the cave that there was definitely something living in this cave!
I didn't rush in, I felt that more was better than less, after all, my condition was not very good, why bother to provoke the guys in the cave again, if it was a powerful monster, wouldn't I be looking for death by myself?
I was about to retreat, but I heard some strange movements in the cave, and hurriedly hid aside, hiding in the grass and squatting. I secretly said in my heart: It's really unlucky, there is something coming out just as I am leaving, and I didn't follow it if I knew it.
As I squatted, a dark figure slowly came out of the cave, and it was already dark at this time, and the light was obviously insufficient, and there was a large shade of trees, so I couldn't see what came out of the cave.
The footsteps are light and heavy, and it looks like this guy is not very tall, but the upright appearance should not be an animal. Among the animals that can come out like this, they are either primates or bears. The former walks in the wrong way, and the latter can't be so short.
Sure enough, there was a faint smell of blood wafting in the air, and at the same time, there was some faint demonic aura. I didn't move, the demon spirit is not very strong, but this thing hides its true strength, the strength of the monster can't be simply based on the size, some short monsters are actually strong.
I didn't want to be in trouble, so I was going to sneak away when it went out to find food. It came step by step, and I subconsciously leaned back, and at the same time pinched a trick, and if it was caught doing something to me, I immediately chanted a spell to greet me.
It walked up to me, and it didn't seem to stop, it probably didn't notice me. But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly stopped, sniffed its nose, and turned back strangely. My heart was almost in my throat, and it turned around, and its head bobbed back and forth, smelling the smell around it.
Eventually, he shook his head, didn't seem to notice me, and paced out into the woods. I looked at its back, and the reason why I heard the sound of footsteps and the strange way it walked seemed to be because one of its feet was lame. When it was far away and gone, I cautiously stepped out of the grass. I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return to the camping place from another way, but just as I was about to leave, a reflection from the cave shone on my face, and I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye, and I was stunned for a moment, and I stopped following my steps.
Something hit my eyes, but I couldn't see what it was. Shaking his head, he silently said to himself, "Let's go." ”
But I don't know if it's a ghost, I just raised my feet to leave, the gourd shook slightly, the old monster actually came out of the gourd, and then shouted at me with some excitement: "Ba Xiaoshan, there are good things in the cave!" ”
He must be eight or nine when he says this, but look at the direction where the monster goes, now when he enters the cave, he doesn't know the mechanism, and what if there are other monsters inside? Third, if the monster comes back just in time, the two sides will start to move, although I am not afraid, but after all, it is very troublesome.
"What's good? Be specific. I was a little moved and asked tentatively.
"It's a good thing, it's definitely it, go in and see, the cave shouldn't be deep, and the reflection can shine on your face to show that it's very close to the mouth of the cave." The old monster encouraged me, and I was already a little excited, so I immediately decided to take a risk, turned around and walked in the direction of the cave.
"Boy, your good luck is about the same as your guts." I walked cautiously into the cave while enduring the chatter of the old monster in my ear.
"You weren't so good at talking in the past, how did you become so poor now, can you shut up." I muttered under my breath, afraid there was a second youkai inside. The demonic energy in the cave is very chaotic, and I can't feel if there is a second monster.
I walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, but I didn't see anything moving, the old monster was right, the place inside the cave was not very big, about the size of half a basketball court, the entrance to the cave was a little narrow, but the interior was much more spacious.
I saw that the glowing object was not far away, so I moved over, and the glowing object seemed to be a fragment, and I crouched down to examine it carefully, and sure enough, it was a fragment, as if it was a mirror fragment.
"It's a shard of a mirror, didn't you say there was something good?" I asked the old monster.
"The good things I'm talking about aren't necessarily treasures, you take a closer look at what's next to this fragment......" Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but gasp when I looked at it, there was a corpse lying next to the mirror fragment!
The corpse looked to be some years old, covered in ash, its flesh festering to reveal white bones, and it looked like a local in its clothing, holding something like a shotgun in its hand.
I picked up the shotgun and took a look, it was the oldest firecracker, older than the Mauser, not necessarily less powerful but with amazing recoil, and the explosion was unstable, and there was a high probability that this old firearm would explode and bor.
"This man was dragged in by a monster to eat, isn't he?" I was puzzled, but the old monster said, "Take a closer look." ”
Listening to his words, I looked at it so closely, my eyes suddenly widened, and I muttered, "This is unlikely! This, this corpse will not be ......"
