Chapter 91 - Returning
The stepped grooves inside these potholes can be used to help people crawl down.
But when I took a closer look, I suddenly discovered that there was something strange inside this pothole.
There are still a lot of obvious blood stains inside the pit, and most of the grooves seem to have been smoothed away.
Seeing the state inside the pothole, I couldn't help but frown.
Xu Tian also saw the red blood stains in the potholes. He turned to me and said, "Old Liu, I feel like these potholes are a little different. Why do I feel like they were dug out by some animal?"
As he spoke, Xu Tian turned to look at the dense skeletons of animal corpses around him, and continued: "The skeletons of these corpses and the blood stains in the holes all point to one thing. These holes must have been dug by some animal.
When you come out, the blood stains in this pit are all the blood of these corpses, which means that this should be some kind of passage, and this grotto should be a canteen for some kind of animal to eat."
After listening to Xu Tian's words, I nodded repeatedly to express my agreement with Xu Tian's statement.
I turned my head and looked at the surroundings. In addition to large swaths of flies, there were some small scavengers swimming around in the cave.
I said solemnly: "It shouldn't be very safe here, but I can conclude that the holes inside must lead all the way to the Sarita primeval forest above, or to the coal field."
Xu Tian nodded and said: "Old Liu, can we return here? If we go here, at least we won't have to continue looking for the original path, and it will save a lot of trouble."
I shook my head and said, "But what worries me is the monster in this grotto. Look there."
As I said that, I used my headlamp to shine at the center of the grotto.
Xu Tian and Captain Fang followed the beam of my headlight and looked over, but the three of them couldn't help but take a breath.
I saw that the place in the grotto was actually filled with corpses and bones, and they had all been piled up into a mountain of corpses.
And there was actually a huge grass nest next to the mountain of corpses.
The three of them took a closer look and found that the diameter of this grass nest was at least ten meters. The entire grass nest was made of thick vines. It looked like a huge bird's nest, but it was a little too big.
Outrageous.
When we saw this grass nest, Xu Tian and we couldn't help but look at each other, and we both saw solemn looks in each other's eyes.
Captain Fang said: "Damn it, it seems that this is not only the canteen of the monster, but also its lair. Liu Jie, what should we do now?"
I frowned tightly and said: "If we really leave from here, it's not impossible. After all, if we go back the same way, it will take at least four or five hours, and we have to go through the maze of the magic cave."
, this place must be the best choice, but fortunately the monster here is not here, otherwise the two of us would probably be in huge trouble if we broke in so rashly."
Xu Tian nodded and said: "Then let's hurry up and leave here first, and then call Shang Gai Wancheng and the others to leave directly from here."
"Well, then let's call them all here before the monster comes back. We must seize the time to leave here."
After saying that, the three of them turned around and walked quickly back towards where Gai Wancheng and the others were.
Of course, the three of us still pulled back half of the stone gate, half-hiding the stone gate, and then quickly walked back towards where everyone was.
Xu Tian said: "I don't know what the situation is like over there with Lao Li and the others."
I said, "I hope Lao Li and the others can bring back some good news. If there really is a better way out, that would be great."
Of course, I am just trying to comfort myself by saying this. After all, it is a bit impossible to place the exit in the main tomb chamber.
Xu Tian turned his head and looked at the stone gate behind him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He turned to me and said: "Old Liu, how come the leader of the Zhali tribe can build a resting place for a monster here? He is not afraid of the monster's attack."
Mad Lai broke open her coffin and ate all her corpse?"
I shook my head and said: "Impossible, monsters like that wouldn't come to such a poor place. The temperature in the center of the tomb has reached minus 20 to 30 degrees, and almost no animals can survive here. Then
No monster would come to such a miserable place."
"And you see, underneath the entire tomb of the leader of the Zari tribe is an underground river, and the river is full of these piranhas. This should be to prevent the monster in the grotto from digging holes from the ground.
The monster here, and in this grotto, if my guess is correct, if it is not used to protect the tomb of the patriarch, then it is the Shen Teng of the Zhali tribe."
Xu Tian looked stunned and said: "You mean, the monster in the grotto may be the six-clawed poison toad we have seen the most along the way?"
I nodded and said: "It is very possible. If not, it is impossible for the Zari tribe to build the place where the monster is next to the chief's tomb."
After hearing what I said, Xu Tian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, turned his head and looked at the grotto behind him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When the three of us walked to the center of the tomb, we saw Gai Wancheng and others still waiting there.
I turned around and looked around, and saw that Li Kun and the others hadn't come back yet, but then three flashlight beams shone at us from another stone bridge.
After seeing that nothing happened to the three of them, I felt relieved.
After the three of them returned here, they couldn't help but shrink their necks from the cold here.
I asked: "Lao Li, what's going on over there?"
Li Kun said: "There is a stone wall over there, and there is also a tomb inside the stone wall, but there are only two coffins, one is for a child, and the other is for a man. There are holes on the ground, but the child's coffin fell
Once we entered that pit, we didn’t lift up the coffin, so there was nothing else.”
I nodded and said: "It seems that the tomb on the other side should be the lover and child of the leader of the Zhali tribe."
Lan Wantian asked about the situation over there. After I told everyone about the situation over there, everyone looked at me dumbfounded. Li Kun smacked his lips and said: "
Good guy, could it be that there is really the lair of the Six-clawed Poison Toad? If that is the case, if we walk through the pothole inside, we might still encounter the Six-clawed Poison Toad. Then if it is true
If we encounter one, I'm afraid our group won't be able to feed it."
Xu Tian rolled his eyes and said: "It's not that easy to encounter. Moreover, the six-clawed poisonous toad is also the guess of the three of us. It's hard to say whether it is accurate or not. Moreover, the three of us also took a look just now.
I guess that monster hasn’t come back for a while, so it’s still safe inside for now.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded, and Lan Wantian couldn't help but ask: "Then if we walk through the pothole, how can we know which pothole leads to the Sarita Primeval Forest above?
If we go in the wrong direction, we'll be in big trouble."
I said: "It's simple. Some of the potholes are full of bloodstains, and the potholes are also larger. Such potholes must have been dragged into the grotto by the animals hunted by the monster from the Sarita Primeval Forest. Let's go there."
If you look for such potholes every time, you will definitely not go wrong.”
After hearing what I said, everyone suddenly understood. I looked at everyone and said, "Then let's seize the time and go directly."
Gai Wancheng hurriedly said: "Wait a minute."
Everyone turned to look at Gai Wancheng, but Gai Wancheng turned to look at the way we came, and said: "Then Sun Xiaowu is still tied to that tree by us, Du Jun and we go back."
Take him out too, we can't let that kid die here so easily."
After listening to Gai Wancheng's words, Li Kun couldn't help but frowned and said: "Anyway, Sun Xiaowuzi is also dead. Why don't they all die the same? His legs have been broken and he can't run out.
Now, why do you care what he does? You can go and do it."
But Lan Wantian also spoke at this time: "Master, I also want to go back with them to bring that Sun Xiaowuzi back. I haven't avenged my brother with my own hands yet, I..."
After hearing what Lan Wantian said, I couldn't help but sigh, turned to a few people and said, "In that case, let's go back together."
Li Kun said: "Then if you bring that boy with you, wouldn't it be a burden? Don't let me carry him around when the time comes. I don't care."
I smiled and said, "Okay, I won't let you carry him."
As I said that, I turned to look at Lan Wantian, raised my hand and patted Lan Wantian on the shoulder, saying: "Brothers' revenge must be avenged, but we really can't bring a burden with us, you know what I mean."
After hearing what I said, Gai Wancheng and the others nodded. Lan Wantian loaded the gun slung on his waist and said, "I understand. The rest of us will go back as soon as we go."
I nodded and said, "Be careful. If you find anything wrong, call us immediately. We will wait for you here."
Gai Wancheng, Du Jun, and Lan Wantian all nodded, and then the three of them turned around and walked back the way they came.
I walked up to Hu Dalong and said: "Dalong, you go with the three of them. If anything happens, remember to bring Lan Wantian back safely, and bring Gai Wancheng with you if necessary. Du Jun's words
