Chapter 2049 Stone Cave
After the king’s guard left, he waited for a long time and did not come back. Luo was worried: "What will happen to him?"
Delma climbed to a higher point on the stone mountain and observed for a while, then came back and said: "I didn't see anyone. We can't stay here anymore, we have to change places. .”
Everyone wants to leave first. In the Stone Forest area of Kaishi Mountain, more than a dozen companions who had been poisoned really had no strength. They vomited all the food and water in their stomachs and almost died here. Now their stomachs are spinning. In addition to drinking some salt and sugar water, , couldn’t eat anything, and didn’t have the energy to walk far. What's more important is that they have to light a lamp before leaving here. In this way, the goals of dozens of people are too obvious, and they are worried that Wuming Gu will lead people to pursue them again.
Everyone discussed it, and every two people took one wounded person to go around the other side of the stone mountain. This rocky mountain is very large. Although it sits at the bottom of the lake, it is 700 to 800 meters high. It is completely submerged in the lake. The rocks are jagged and the situation is complicated. It is very easy to hide and avoid people. Scar thought that in the early morning, the poisoned people would be able to eat and recover some strength before leaving.
After changing their hiding place, Thain and Delma went to reconnoiter again, but they still did not find the king's guard. The sky was extremely dark at this time, the sky was as black as the bottom of a pot, no stars could be seen, and a cold wind blew in the air, like a sign of rain. Everyone looked for a place to take shelter from the rain. They stepped on the hard stone surface on the ground. There was a clicking sound under the feet of the black boy Mio. He thought he had stepped on an oyster shell, so a flame formed in his palm and he discovered that There was a pile of cashew nut shells scattered on the ground.
Irina in the front turned back and squatted down to take a look. The nut shells were scattered in a messy manner. It was probably someone who took shelter here from the rain and threw them away while walking back and forth. She thought it was probably left by those people on the mountain, but it was so late that no one would come here again.
A few of them sat down in this shallow cave, and soon it began to rain heavily outside. Listening to the sound of rain, everyone fell asleep, and Luo quickly fell asleep. At this time, Irina heard a creaking sound, and soon something flew over her head.
Because it was too dark, she couldn’t see anything, so she turned on a faint light and shined it into the shallow cave. She saw five bats one after another emerging from the stone crack less than 1.5 centimeters. Flapping its wings and flying overhead, Irina recognized it as a red-cheeked water bat with gills and dense scales. This kind of thing is common in caves in deep forests. It feeds on mosquitoes in the water. There is nothing strange about it, and she didn't pay attention to it. But when she extinguished the light source at her fingertips, she suddenly saw a lot of loose mud on the ground under the cracks in the rocks.
She lit her finger again, stood up and walked towards the crack in the stone.
Avro was worried about his sister and couldn't sleep. He saw Irina's actions and followed him.
Mio was also awakened by the bright light. He squinted and asked quietly: "What are you doing?"
Irina walked to the stone crevice and found some on the stone wall covered with dried algae. The traces of rubbing can be seen carefully, and a few handprints can be seen. The loose soil on the ground was rubbed from the wall. She pushed according to the scratch marks, but she didn't push hard.
Afro looked at it carefully: "There is a small gap here, and the back of the wall is not connected to the mountain."
Seeing this, Miao called Lin who was watching and resting outside. Jianquan mongoose, come together to help push. With this push, although the stone wall did not move, dust fell. The noise woke up Luo, who was sleeping soundly, and several people nearby, and Mio motioned for them to come over and help. The six people worked together, and the mountain wall was pushed forward, revealing a cave as wide as one person behind the stone wall.
Mio was surprised and excited and called over the team members who were sleeping in various places. Everyone gathered in front of a small hole in the wall. Someone shot a fireball and looked inside for a while, waking up a group of little bats.
Thion said: "This may be another passage into the temple." "Do we want to go in?" Irina looked at the deputy leader Scar and asked.
Scar said: "Choose a few of the better ones to go in and take a look at the situation. If there is any problem, come out immediately. The rest will take care of it outside."
Because he only planned to After briefly taking a look at the situation, a team of four people, Luo, Delma, Thain and Afro, got into the stone door, while Scar and the others stayed behind.
As soon as you enter the stone gate, you will see a large space. It is cool inside the cave, and there are occasional sounds of bats seven or eight meters above your head. Avro used the light to see that the surroundings were stratified rocks, with small rocks of different colors mixed in. At first, Delma thought they were shells, but when she dug them out, she found that there were magic symbols on them. It turned out to be a magic talisman. stone.
At this time, magical elves fly out of the rock formations from time to time, and then get in. They are like unconscious wandering spirits, lingering in the stratified rocks here.
Delma wiped off the dust on the rune stones and put them in her pocket. "Some people say that the rune stones in nature are the life stones of certain elves after their death. I think it is really possible. You can definitely dig them here." There are many such rune stones.”
Their voices were very quiet, but the echo was still quite loud in this empty cave. After walking for about a hundred meters, stalactites appeared above and nearby, and at the same time, water began to fall. Luo took the lead and walked very carefully deeper. So far, they have not seen or heard any strange movements, nor have they met anyone with no name. However, I saw several large slugs, bright red centipedes and other chaotic creatures in the dark and humid environment. I also saw live fish, shrimps and crabs in the stagnant water.
There are also elves flying here, shining brightly. They were very weak, and when they flew in front of Luo, they would break into pieces as soon as they touched them.
There were some fruit shells and grilled fish residue on the ground, as well as a lot of crab shells and shrimp shells, which attracted their attention. Someone came here not long ago. Judging from the footprints on the ground, it should be a person. This person must not be a member of the Nameless Bones.
There was a pile of rubble in front of them, which seemed to have been broken by someone. As they walked forward beyond the pile of rubble, a small red stone gate appeared in front of the four of them.
This door stone is only about 60 centimeters high, with a square opening, and the door is blocked. Delma stepped forward and pulled it. Luo reminded him that there was a mechanism, but after groping for a while, he didn't see any mechanism being touched. Finally, Delma lifted up, and the stone door was pushed up. Behind the door was a slightly wider, about 65 centimeters wide and high, upward ramp. Delma pushed her shoulder against the stone door, and Afro shone a light inside. The passage was relatively long, but the head could be seen. He asked Thain to find two stones as cushions, and motioned for Luo to go up and have a look.
Luo slung his gun and got in head-first. The walls on the four sides of the passage were as smooth as jade, and the armor was very slippery when pressed against it. He could only use his hands on both sides and squeeze up little by little. Avro used wind magic to hold him up below, which made Luo climb easier.
