Chapter 14 The Mysterious Cave (Please support! Please recommend!)
"Unfortunately, the leaf litter here is too thick, otherwise we can directly find the deepest location, and everything will be fine when the moon rises."
After explaining, Hu Bayi looked at the thick dead branches and leaves on the ground, feeling a little regretful.
Now, although he can also infer the position based on the moonlight, that will undoubtedly increase their workload.
Actually, what Hu Bayi did not say is that their number is limited. If there is a deviation by then, the amount of work will not be as simple as doubling.
But considering that everyone was already exhausted, he didn't say such disappointing words.
Thinking of this, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan who was not far away and asked: "Master Chen, I wonder if you have any advice?"
He saw that Chen Ziyan was also observing the situation nearby, and also I thought he was also using some method to determine the location of the ancient tomb.
In this case, the results obtained by the two people will corroborate each other, which will undoubtedly reduce the possibility of errors.
No way, although the time of acquaintance was short, Chen Ziyan’s endless tricks gave him the feeling that he knew everything.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed this time.
Although Chen Ziyan is indeed good at many aspects, he still knows very little about the art of Feng Shui.
At most, I know some professional terminology, but I don’t understand anything no matter how profound it is.
And in the Xiling inheritance he obtained, there is also no secret technique in Feng Shui.
"I don't want you to touch Colonel Jin's dragon-seeking technique. I'm just observing the traces around to see if any wild beasts have been here."
Chen Ziyan directly told the truth without any pretense.
“Ah——” Hu Bayi was a little surprised, but he immediately responded: “That’s right, Mr. Chen has thought carefully. This place has not been inhabited for many years, and there may be ferocious beasts. ”
At the same time, he also felt in his heart that he really thought too much.
There is no such perfect person in this world. If he really knows everything, he can no longer be called a human being, but should be called a god.
Yingzi was not interested in Hu Bayi's Feng Shui skills, but was rather interested in what Chen Ziyan was doing, and came over to take a closer look.
However, although her hunting experience was far greater than that of ordinary people, in terms of details, she was not as good as Chen Ziyan, who had received the Xiling inheritance, so she was unable to discover anything.
Chen Ziyan saw Yingzi’s expression next to him and knew that she had not found anything unusual, so he pointed to a place not far away and said:
“Yingzi, find a stick and try it. There."
"Okay, Brother Chen." Yingzi responded crisply, then picked up a dead branch from the side and pointed towards the place pointed by Chen Ziyan.
When the dead branches had just reached into the leaves, Yingzi's eyes became more serious and she whistled at the vigilant hounds around her.
Upon hearing their master's call, the hounds scattered around immediately ran to her side.
“Go!”
Yingzi pointed to the open space in front of him and gave the order.
The hounds immediately dispersed and surrounded the area with eager eyes.
Chen Ziyan was amazed at this scene. Although he had known for a long time that hunters' hounds were strictly trained, but now it was like being driven like an arm.
After the hounds were in their respective positions, Yingzi began to wave the dead branches in his hands and sweep aside the fallen leaves in that area.
Not long after, I saw a dark hole appearing under the substantial pile of fallen leaves.
"Retreat!"
Yingzi, who has been in the forest all year round, is very vigilant. Seeing this situation, he quickly ordered the hounds to retreat.
Although only half of it was exposed, she could already estimate the specific outline of the hole. She didn't want her precious hounds to be in danger.
"Oh, this hole is really big!"
Wang Kaixuan also came over at this time and looked curiously at the entrance of the hole.
The situation inside this cave is not yet known, but the entrance alone is enough to accommodate two people, at least Wang Kaixuan's size is more than enough to fit in. "Be careful!"
Seeing that Wang Kaixuan wanted to go over and have a look, Hu Bayi quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
We still don't know what's going on here, what if we are so reckless and in danger.
It’s not like Hu Bayi has never encountered such a thing. When they were in the Annan rain forest, they were often attacked by things in the forest.
So Hu Bayi knows very well that in the face of such an unknown situation, maintaining a safe distance is the safest choice.
“Don’t worry, Old Hu, you don’t know my skills yet!”
Although Wang Kaixuan knew that Hu Bayi was doing it for his own good, he couldn’t bear to be curious and waited for a while to meet. After there was no movement on the other side of the cave, I walked over carefully with a flashlight.
"I said, this hole is quite deep."
But he couldn't find anything after looking back and forth, which made him suspicious.
"Is it possible that someone left the hole for theft?"
As soon as Hu Ba thought of this possibility, he quickly took out his compass and started to verify it.
He felt that the scale of the cave in front of him was not something that animals could do, but more like something humans could do.
"This is not a robbery!"
At this time, Yingzi suddenly said something, attracting everyone's attention.
Although she failed to discover the cave just now, she could still distinguish the marks on the cave wall.
She walked over and pointed to the outermost cave wall and said, "Look at these marks. They don't look like those left by a shovel, but more like paw prints."
"Paw prints?" ”
After hearing what Yingzi said, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan quickly looked at the cave wall again.
Wang Kaixuan even took out his engineering shovel and struck him at the side.
Comparing the two, the gap becomes even more obvious.
Compared to the flat excavation surface of the engineer shovel, the excavation marks on the cave wall are narrower and deeper.
I haven’t thought about it before I got the reminder. Now that I look at it, I feel that these are the traces left by some kind of giant creature.
"Is it possible that there are really savages in this savage ditch?" Wang Kaixuan's first thought was of the savages in the rumors.
It’s not surprising that he would think so. After all, there are always rumors that there are savages here. Now that such an incredible cave has been discovered, no one else would think of this at the first time.
In fact, not only Wang Kaixuan, but also Yingzi also thought of the savage.
After all, no one has ever seen a savage, maybe he is good at digging holes.
This is not impossible.
However, Hu Bayi had a different idea. He looked thoughtfully at the traces on the cave wall and expressed his guess:
"Do you think this was dug by the earth dragon?" Right?"
As Hu Bayi said these words, the scene suddenly fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Wang Kaixuan asked: "You mean...this hole was dug by the earth dragon that Master Chen said, how big should it be?"
You must know that although that thing is not a snake, it still has the form of a snake. If this is a cave where adult earth dragons go in and out, how long should this thing be?
Wang Kaixuan suddenly felt that his words were a little lacking and he couldn't come up with suitable adjectives.
Yingzi was even more direct and simply recruited his hounds back.
If there really was a monster of that size, even her mastiff would probably take one bite at a time.
