Chapter 1425 Mysterious Ancient Cave
Since being attacked by the frogmen, Ye Xiaochuan and others have been walking westward for three consecutive days. Although they are getting further and further away from Wushan, they have finally bypassed the activity area of the frogmen.
This place is already in the depths of the Shiwanshan Mountains, which is inaccessible to people, and the dense primitive jungle gives people a feeling not of simplicity and vicissitudes, but of fear and chilling.
Towering ancient trees with snarling teeth and claws, with many thick vines hanging on them, like black pythons falling from the trunks, especially when the wind blows, the breath is filled with a fishy smell, which makes people feel that this place is not here at all. On earth, but in hell.
No one can explain why the fishy smell becomes more dangerous the further you go into the Shiwanda Mountains. Even the poisonous woman Gesang, a native of southern Xinjiang, said that she doesn't know what the reason is. I used my skills to travel westward for three days in the primitive jungle. I encountered heavy rain in the evening. This heavy rain came quickly and went away very slowly. The rain was also very powerful and the scope was quite wide. Unlike the In the heavy rain that Ye Xiaochuan and others encountered before, a rainbow would appear after crossing two or three mountains.
After reaching seven mountains, the rain poured down like the Milky Way bursting its banks.
Rushing in the rain, dodging thunder and lightning, and enduring the poisonous mist and miasma that occasionally emerge from the ground are all secondary. After all, everyone is a cultivator and can still handle it.
However, when the roars of giant beasts came from time to time in the wind and rain, Gesang was unwilling to continue on his way.
The roar of the giant beast was even worse than the thunder that tore the sky apart. Every time it roared, it was as if the sky was falling apart and the earth was shattering. No one knew what kind of wild and alien species it was. The only thing that is certain is that this giant beast is definitely not easy to mess with.
Gesang searched for a long time on the animal skin map and said happily: "The peak in front of me should be Tengger Mountain. There used to be activities of the ancient witch tribe here, and there should be some relics. Let's go there quickly to take shelter from the rain."
Everyone is soaked now. There are many women and many men in the team, which is really indecent. In addition, there is a terrifying giant beast nearby that roars from time to time. Who can think about hurrying on.
When they heard that there was a place to take shelter from the rain, everyone immediately agreed.
In front of everyone, the mountain stood like a flock of chickens, with a height of four to five thousand feet. They soon discovered that there were many caves on the mountainside.
According to Gesang, the ancient Wu tribe once lived here a long time ago. After the ancient Wu tribe disappeared, no one lived in this Tenggela Mountain, which is deep into the Shiwan Mountains. It was abandoned for many years.
In order to prevent accidents, Ye Xiaochuan and others still worked hard and checked several caves. They found that the caves were intricate and the internal space was huge. It was estimated that there were a lot of ancient wizards living here back then.
In some corners of the cave, you can also find some dusty broken stone carvings and reliefs. Other traces of life seem to have been gradually submerged in the long river of history with the passage of time. A group of people did not go too deep into the caves inside. Several hundred people occupied four or five caves, just to provide shelter from the wind and rain. This place is very strange, and the ancient witch clan is extremely mysterious. Although this place has been abandoned for thousands of years , but no one can guarantee whether there is any poison left by the ancient witch clan here.
The mechanism or the cave is occupied by some evil beast from the southern border.
After entering the cave, many bonfires were lit, and everyone sat beside the fire in twos and threes to dry their soaked clothes. Some female disciples gathered in a cave and changed into clean clothes.
Ye Xiaochuan was bragging to everyone, saying what does this little storm mean? I remember that when I was in Minghai, the wind and rain were really bad.
Zuo Qiu and others in the team, who had been understanding, listened to Ye Xiaochuan's bragging and were too lazy to reveal the artistically processed part of his words. However, Gesang listened with great interest and looked at Ye Xiaochuan with admiration in his eyes.
Ye Xiaochuan was playing happily when he suddenly saw Qi Feiyuan walking to Du Chun's side and whispering a few words in a low voice.
Du Chun's face changed slightly and he stood up immediately.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "What's wrong?"
Du Chun said: "There seems to be something wrong with this cave."
Everyone was shocked.
Qi Feiyuan said: "I just walked along a cave passage and found that there seemed to be signs of recent human activities inside. This cave may not be abandoned, and there may still be people living there."
Gesang waved his hand and said: "It's impossible. This place is too far away. There are alien races or beast monsters all around. The Tianhuo Dong of our Miao people is already the southernmost village. There won't be any humans here."
Jiang Qingxian asked: "Could it be a foreign race from southern Xinjiang?"
Gesang was startled, this was possible.
Ye Xiaochuan and others made arrangements to cheer up the righteous disciples of each sect, and then Ye Xiaochuan and more than a dozen people walked inside along a passage in the cave.
There are a lot of caves on the mountainside, and the interior is also jumbled up and down. There are cave passages everywhere, just like a big maze.
Soon, everyone holding the magic weapon felt that Qi Feiyuan was right. They walked less than a hundred feet along a long passage and entered a cave. In this cave, there was a wooden bed with some decay on it. Black bedding.
Du Chun pinched his nose and picked up the rotten bedding with his sword. It was all pulverized, but the four words "Guangyuan Silk" could be clearly seen on it.
Du Chun said: "Guangyuan Silk, this is an old Shu brocade store in the middle of Sichuan. Judging from the rotten condition of these beddings, there were still people living here a few decades ago, and they cannot be foreigners."
Everyone nodded, it was impossible for those foreign races in southern Xinjiang to have Shu brocade quilts.
In this cave, in addition to finding several Shujin beddings, a pile of rotten wood was found on the edge, and there was a pile of ashes and some beast bones in the corner. Obviously, someone had lived here for a while.
In this cave, there are two passages leading to unknown places. Everyone chose a wider one and continued to move forward.
The further they went inside, the more surprised they were. Not only were there traces of human life in the cave in front, but there were also similar traces in the caves behind. In the end, it turned out to be a piece of stone room. Pushing open a stone door, there was a standard single room inside, with a bed, table, and chair, all in the Middle-earth style. Obviously, many Middle-earth people had lived here, and they had not been away for long, at most only a few decades
, or maybe only a dozen years.
When everyone was puzzled, Yang Shijiu found something that surprised Ye Xiaochuan and others in a big box in a stone room.
A flag with three Middle-earth characters embroidered with gold thread. "Thousand Faces Gate"
