Chapter 178 Underground Grotto, Obtain the Caravan Heritage!
He explained casually.
"Okay, just say it's okay, don't be brave."
There is no time to waste, we have to rescue people quickly. Chen Guoqiang also knows the risks, but he can only agree.
He and Huang Can retreated into the passage, staying far away.
Chen Yang held the sickle in his hand, pushed aside the cobwebs in front of him, and moved towards the direction where the Song Kaiyong brothers fell to the ground.
Feeling the vibration of the spider web, a rat spider immediately jumped out and hung onto Chen Yang's neck.
The blood-red mouthparts suddenly opened and were about to bite Chen Yang's neck.
“Pa!”
Chen Yang had quick eyes and quick hands, so he slapped him directly.
The plum-sized rat spider instantly collapsed.
"Ding, I found a C-level insect [Spider], opened the illustrated book, and got the reward [Spider Silk Glove*1]. The item has been put into the warehouse and can be accessed at any time."
" Item: Spider Silk Gloves. "
"Introduction: Accessory that can be used by others. When wearing the accessory gloves, the host can receive corresponding experience points for the collection behavior..."< br>
……
"Ding, hunt C-level insect [Spider]*1, experience value +10 points!"
"Ding, [Epai Poisonous Insect Breeding and Control Essence (Intermediate Level)], proficiency +1 point."
……
“Ding, the mission is released.”
“Task: Hunt 100 C-level insects [Spiders], progress (1/100)”
"Reward: Five Poison Wine*1 bottle."
......
A series of information appeared in Chen Yang's mind, which he was not used to seeing.
Spider silk gloves?
This thing is somewhat useful. If someone else puts on the gloves, the experience collected will be counted as one's own, which is equivalent to one more way to earn experience.
...
Five Poison Wine, when I caught centipedes before, I was also rewarded with Five Poison Wine, which can improve the physical fitness in a small amount.
One bottle can improve your health by 0.5 points.
The food is good, but the taste is a bit strong and not good to drink.
Calmed down.
What he just did caused the spider webs to tremble, alarming the spiders in the cave. A large group of spiders jumped out from the shadows and quickly surrounded Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took a look and saw that there were many kinds.
There are rat spiders, jumping spiders, red-clawed spiders, huge wolf spiders, and black widows that make people shiver at just a glance.
Most of them are poisonous spiders.
When ordinary people see this battle, even if they don’t urinate on the spot, they will turn around and run away in fear.
Chen Yang was not afraid and immediately used the poisonous insect breeding and control technique.
The mouth opened slightly, emitting an undetectable and strange sound wave.
The sound waves spread out, and the swarm of rampaging spiders around them quickly settled down as if they had received some kind of summons.
They slowed down and crawled slowly.
Each one showed obedience to Chen Yang, and it seemed as if an unbreakable connection was instantly established between the two.
Chen Yang took out the insect seed bag and quickly collected all the spiders in it.
“Ding, this time I hunted 371 C-level insects [spiders], gained 3710 experience points, and gained 371 proficiency points in [Epai Venomous Insect Breeding and Control Essence (Intermediate Level)].”
……
[Essentials of Epai Venomous Pest Management and Control (Intermediate)]
[Proficiency: 1846/5000]
...
"Ding, the mission is completed, you will get 3 bottles of [Five Poison Wine]."
...
Soon, the system settlement was completed.
There were not as many as expected, so I collected more than 300.
But the experience is almost full.
“Experience value: 99238/100000”
With only a few hundred experience points left, Chen Yang was overjoyed. He looked around and wanted to find a few spiders, but it seemed that in this cave He had already wiped out all the useful spiders.
The matter of upgrading was forgotten by him for the time being, saving people was still the most important thing at the moment.
He checked the situation of the two brothers lying on the ground.
As expected, there were traces of spider bites on his body and he fainted.
My breathing is quite stable and it should not be life-threatening.
Chen Yang hurriedly dragged the person out.
The bodies of these two people were almost covered in spider silk, and they looked extremely scary.
"How is it? How is it?"
He dragged the person into the passage, and Chen Guoqiang and Huang Can immediately greeted him.
"I fainted. Get the person out first."
"Are you okay?"
Chen Guoqiang quickly checked Chen Yang up and down to confirm that he had not been Bite, and feel relieved.
He is really convinced. This kid is really brave.
If it were him, he wouldn't dare to step inside, let alone go in to save people.
Put the people on their backs, one per person, and quickly move out.
Chen Guoqiang and Huang Can walked in front, eager to take the wounded out, and did not realize that Chen Yang had fallen behind.
Chen Yang entered the cave again.
There are probably still spiders in that cave. If possible, there are still a few hundred experience points left to upgrade.
...
Inside the cave.
There are spider webs everywhere, a thick layer.
Those with poor mental endurance are indeed prone to collapse in this environment.
Chen Yang used the sickle in his hand to roughly clean up the spider webs, but no more C-level poisonous spiders were found.
Can't help but be a little disappointed.
Crash!
When his scythe passed over a piece of cobweb, the cobweb was torn off. Under the light of the mobile phone, another hole appeared behind the cobweb.
The entrance to the cave was almost as tall as him and about two meters wide, and it was equally deep inside.
Chen Yang took out a strong flashlight from the system space, turned it on, and shook it into the cave.
It can be seen that this passage is also very deep and it is unknown where it leads.
Chen Yang took out the butcher's knife, walked into the passage with his body low, and cautiously moved forward to test.
After walking for twenty or thirty meters, the end of the passage was blocked by a huge stone.
Chen Yang frowned slightly.
He tried to push.
The stone is very heavy.
With his current strength, he cannot push it at all.
The stone is covered with moss.
It is round and does not seem to be formed naturally. There are small grooves on it. It is obviously polished manually, but it is a bit like the base of a millstone.
This stone is not small, with a diameter of at least three to four meters and a weight of at least a thousand kilograms. It is stuck in the soil. I don’t know whether it is solid or hollow at the back. If I want to push it, I have to double the strength.
Is this the end?
Looking at the stone in front of him, he always felt that there should be space behind the stone.
“Huh!”
Chen Yang took a deep breath and pushed hard.
The stone shook slightly.
But at the same time, the soil on the cave wall was also falling down, as if it was about to collapse.
Chen Yang took two steps back.
My brows were knitted tightly, and my eyes fell on the boulder, as if I could see the space behind the boulder. I felt an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations, as if there was some great horror hidden inside.
This feeling is just fleeting.
Chen Yang quickly calmed down. He was just scaring himself, just like when a person is walking alone at night, he always involuntarily thinks of some scary scenes in his mind.
He put aside this psychological suggestion and was extremely curious about the situation behind the boulder.
With a thought, he took Mo Dao out of the system space.
Mo Dao, which weighed more than three hundred kilograms, made Chen Yang's body sink suddenly. The blade of the knife struck the stone twice, causing the stone to clang.
Immediately, Chen Yang inserted the blade into the crack in the stone and pried it hard.
The stone shook violently but was not pushed away.
It cannot be pushed or pried.
Chen Yang frowned slightly and thought of a way.
Dig!
Just like the temple built by Mr. Song, you only need to hollow out the bottom of the stone and let the stone sink. If there is still space behind it, it will naturally be exposed.
He immediately put away his knife and took out a foreign shovel.
The ground is quite soft, and with Chen Yang’s brute force, it is not easy to dig.
Tamp chi, bang chi...
After a while, a big pit was dug under the stone.
The stone did sink a little.
A gap was exposed above the stone.
Chen Yang looked at it with a flashlight. The gap was too small to see clearly.
But you can be sure that there is space in the back.
After digging for a while, the stone became loose.
Chen Yang tried to push again at this time.
The stone moved.
Fall directly back.
Chen Yang quickly avoided.
“Boom!”
The boulder fell heavily to the ground, revealing a large space behind it.
A dusty aura suddenly hit his face.
Chen Yang covered his nose with his sleeves. After waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement inside, and then he carefully stepped on the stones and walked in.
What just blocked the door was indeed a huge bluestone millstone.
Chen Yang picked up the flashlight and looked around.
This is an underground cave five or six meters high and more than ten meters long and wide.
"Huh?"
The flashlight waved in a circle, and Chen Yang couldn't help but trembled.
In a corner against the wall, Chen Yang saw two figures.
To be precise, there are two skeletons.
One was lying on the ground with a rusty dagger stuck in his chest.
One was sitting against the wall with his head lowered.
The clothes on both of them had rotted away, leaving only their skeletons. Moreover, the bones had many fractures, and it looked like they had experienced a fight.
It's been a few years.
If Chen Yang hadn't experienced some things and his nerves had become much stronger, in this environment, these two skeletons would have really scared him out of his mind.
Who is this?
How could he die here?
Chen Yang couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. These two people obviously did not die in a normal way.
One was stabbed in the chest, suspected to have been stabbed to death.
The other one’s bones were all black and he died of suspected poisoning.
And it’s not just any poison.
Chen Yang checked the two skeletons and found no useful information.
Look up.
On the stone wall where the skeleton was sitting, there seemed to be vague writing.
Chen Yang stood up immediately, pushed aside the vines and grass on the stone wall, and cleaned them briefly.
A large piece of handwriting carved with a knife was revealed.
"On the ninth day of the winter of 1979, while paying homage to an old friend in Qishan, I came across Ding Huanchun, a member of the Ding clan. He killed people and fed evil things with their blood, so he killed him in anger..."
"The evil things have been completed. This is The spider entered the realm of creation. I was not good at learning and was injured by it. In order to prevent it from escaping and harming the world, I had no choice but to sacrifice my life to kill it..."
"As of this writing, the poison has penetrated into the internal organs. There is no way to save the day, so I will engrave here the "Thirteen Styles of Exploring the Horse". If anyone comes after me, please pass it on to the descendants of the Caravan."
……
"Huh?"
Chen Yang was shocked when he saw the content on the stone wall.
Looked down at the skeleton on the ground.
Could this be the horse pot leader who mysteriously disappeared from the caravan more than 40 years ago?
Ma Santong?
Chen Yang was stunned for a few seconds.
The secret skill of the caravan, the thirteen postures of exploring the horse?
“Exploring the horse, mixing the horse, whipping the horse, spurring the horse, carrying the horse...”
On the stone wall, there are many simple figures written and drawn on the stone wall. There are character annotations next to each of the move pictures.
Perhaps they were afraid that these words would disappear over time, so the person who carved them worked extremely hard and carved the words very deeply.
Chen Yang's eyes were completely attracted by the content carved on the stone wall.
Looking at each move, I couldn’t help but follow them.
Qinzhou said that the last four moves of the horse caravan were lost more than 40 years ago, leaving only nine moves.
On this stone wall, there are complete records of thirteen moves.
Including the last four postures that have been lost to the caravan, they are the horse-suppressing posture, the horse-lowering posture, the horse-taming posture, and the last posture, where the man and horse are integrated into one.
This unique skill was created by the sages of the caravan through the generations while raising and training horses. It is a comprehensive collection of palm techniques, boxing techniques, claw techniques, etc.
Although the name is too plain, most of the caravans are poor people with little knowledge. The name does not matter at all. There is no doubt that this is an extremely superior martial arts.
Chen Yang took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the content on the stone wall.
He looked at the skeleton leaning against the stone wall again.
I can’t help feeling sad.
"Master Ma, you are a good person."
Chen Yang sighed with emotion, "Don't worry, I will inform the caravan of this matter, and I won't let your death be in vain."
This He is indeed a respectable figure.
“Huh?”
At this time, Chen Yang realized a problem belatedly.
Ma Santong said on the stone wall that after he killed Ding Huanchun, in order to suppress the evil creatures raised by Ding Huanchun, he sealed the door with a huge stone and died here.
Furthermore, according to the content on the stone wall, this evil thing should be a spider.
A spider that was almost too close to fate.
Chen Yang felt a chill in his heart and immediately looked around.
However, nothing was discovered.
He couldn't help but frown, and searched carefully in the cave, but found no trace of the evil thing Ma Santong said.
Has he been killed?
Or ran away?
"Chen Yang!"
At this moment, Huang Can's shout came from outside.
Chen Yang quickly bowed respectfully to the skeleton, then turned and left.
Let the caravans do the work of gathering the remains.
......
In the passage, I met Huang Can.
This guy was holding a flashlight, looking like he wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid of attracting something, and his voice was slightly trembling.
Just after he and Chen Guoqiang carried the person on their backs, they realized that Chen Yang had not followed.
But they were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats. Huang Can quickly turned back to look for them, feeling scared to death.
A few people just came down together and didn’t think anything of it.
At this moment, a person is dark, and his mind is full of poisonous spiders, and he is afraid that a spider spirit or something will suddenly jump out and drag him away.
"Chen Yang..."
In the cave where Song Kaiyong's brother was just discovered, everything he could see was spider webs and a large area of white flowers.
Huang Can shouted in a low voice and stood at the entrance of the cave, not daring to go in at all.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
