Chapter 16 Deep (Please support! Please recommend!)
No words for a night.
Time passed and it was early morning the next day.
After simply eating something, Chen Ziyan and others followed yesterday’s traces and came to the mouth of Yeren Valley again.
Holding the wooden stick found on the road, he stepped into it step by step.
This time, Chen Ziyan was responsible for clearing the way. Although his 'sound identification' range was not very wide, it was not difficult to hear the movement under his feet.
You only need to tap the thick leaf litter twice to know the situation below, which greatly increases the team's traveling speed.
We walked like this for about two hours. The fallen leaves under our feet became thinner and thinner, and many places were exposed to the ground.
"Fortunately it's not the rainy season, otherwise we might not be able to get in." Looking at the layer of fallen leaves behind her, Yingzi said somewhat thankfully.
Anyway, she thought she had no choice but to wait until the water accumulated and froze in winter.
"Yes, the terrain here is too low. If there is a heavy rain, we will probably all have to swim now." Wang Kaixuan also thinks so.
In fact, since approaching this area, everyone has already seen that it is really the right time to enter the mountain at this time.
Although there is no need to worry about the leaf litter in winter, the frozen soil will be a bigger trouble.
It would be okay if there were a large number of people, but with just a few of them, it would be really difficult to deal with it.
Even if you dig it reluctantly, you will have to spend far more time and energy than you can at this time.
Chen Ziyan did not answer the question, but looked at Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, what are you doing? Can you determine the general range of the tomb now?"
Although it is necessary to wait until the moon is at its peak before we can The exact location is deduced from the moonlight.
But it’s not even noon yet, so we can’t just wait until midnight.
So Chen Ziyan wanted Hu Bayi to try to see if he could find a range first, so that they could have time to set up the camp.
“I’ll give it a try.” Hu Bayi was not sure.
After all, you can rely on the moonlight at night to follow the pictures, but now you can only rely on your own Feng Shui attainments.
Although he knew the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Technique" passed down from his family by heart, he didn't have much practical experience.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had done such a thing, so he naturally lacked some confidence.
"Just try your best." Chen Ziyan didn't force it.
He can more or less understand Hu Bayi's mentality. He himself is in the same situation now.
Xiling inheritance is all knowledge, and the specific effect of its application requires practice to know.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi nodded slightly and said nothing more. Instead, he took out his compass and began to deduce the most likely area based on the gossip.
A few minutes later, Hu Bayi's brows relaxed slightly and he looked up to the right.
“If I’m not mistaken, that piece of land is the deepest part of the Savage Ditch.”
“That piece?”
Wang Kaixuan followed his gaze and asked with some confusion:
“But I’m afraid we haven’t even reached the halfway point, so why are we at the deepest point?”
According to him I understand that the so-called deepest point must be the end of this valley.
“I told you to read more, are the deepest and the farthest the same thing?” Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at the guy, and then explained: “The so-called deepest refers to the entire valley. The lowest point on the ground, not the farthest point from the valley entrance."
"Hey!" Wang Kaixuan shook his head and raked his head indifferently: "If you had said this earlier, it would have been over. You still had to come up with some terms. "Hu Bayi:...
Looking at this guy speechlessly, Hu Bayi simply ignored him and turned to look at Chen Ziyan.
"Master Chen, we can just set up camp a hundred meters ahead on the right. We won't know the exact location until night."
"Okay, then we'll be in front first Take a rest and recuperate before doing anything at night. "
Chen Ziyan has never been an arbitrary person. Since professionals have already made suggestions, there is nothing left to say, so just follow them.
Immediately, the few of them stopped talking and accelerated their pace to the location mentioned by Hu Bayi.
I didn’t notice it when I was far away, but now I can see it clearly when I get closer. It turns out that this is a low slope, and what Hu Bayi was talking about is the bottom of the slope. The terrain is indeed higher than where they were just now. Much lower than above.
There are no dead branches or leaves under this low slope, but rather cleaner land.
The four selected a relatively flat area and began to place the camp there.
This time is different from the past. I don’t know how long I will stay here, so the camp layout is more comprehensive. Yingzi directed Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to build a simple earthen tent directly in the center of the camp. kitchen.
While the three of them were busy, Chen Ziyan began to wander around.
He wanted to see if there were any caves left by those prairie ground otters nearby.
If Chen Ziyan remembers correctly, in the original plot it seemed that the horses brought by Hu Bayi and his companions were attacked by unknown creatures.
And in this savage ditch, it is self-evident what the so-called unknown creatures are.
Although I don’t know the specific habits of this grassland otter, it is correct that the entire valley is the other party’s territory.
After wandering around for a while, Chen Ziyan indeed saw a cave of the same style as Taniguchi next to a nearby tree.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan took out a roll of fishing line and several bells from his backpack, and placed a simple warning device at the exit of the cave.
It is very difficult to block it. Besides, prairie ground otters can dig holes. Even if they can really block the hole, they can dig it out from other places.
Blocking can’t be stopped.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan came up with such a way.
These prairie otters generally do not take the initiative to attack humans, and as long as they are not trapped in a narrow space, it is not difficult to escape, so he thought of such a move.
In fact, this is true for many terrifying creatures. If there is no absolute numerical advantage, then as long as their whereabouts are clear, they will not be so scary.
After ensuring that there was no problem with the warning device here, Chen Ziyan continued to patrol around the camp location as the center.
Fortunately, there is only this cave nearby, and no other underground exits have been found.
"Master Chen, I see you were tinkering there for a long time. Did you find anything?"
As soon as Chen Ziyan returned to the camp, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but ask.
Because the cave is not far from here, they can all see Chen Ziyan's movements, but they are blocked by shrubs and cannot see clearly what he did.
"A hole was found over there, so a small mechanism was set up to give an early warning."
Chen Ziyan did not hide anything and directly told the truth.
In fact, even if Wang Kaixuan didn't ask, he would take the initiative to tell others and ask them to try to avoid that direction when moving.
