Chapter 29 Chapter 29: The Village

"Mr. Zhao, how can you be sure? Why is it such a famous place?" Team Feng was taken aback and asked immediately.Although Zhao Guai was very sure, he seemed to have nothing to prove his judgment for a while, so he walked carefully to the entrance of the cave, poked the lit torch inside, and then threw it deep into the cave. The fire light trembled twice in the deep hole, quickly fell down, and disappeared, and the flashing fire light suddenly revealed a huge face.The few people were startled and took a few steps back. Ghost Wu calmly took the flashlight and focused the beam into the cave.The so-called face immediately showed its original shape, and it was actually a petroglyph in the cave.

The inside of the cave is not an open scene, but twists and turns like a tunnel, leading to nowhere. The cave wall is smooth and round, which can be seen to be caused by years of hydraulic action.After only exploring for a short distance, I found that there were other openings at the top and bottom of the cave, which were connected and connected to an unknown depth.As soon as Zhao Guai saw this, he knew that his previous deduction was correct, and he said with certainty: "As expected, this is the beehive house!" Pointing to the basket containing the mummy, he said: "This kind of The thing is the means of transportation for those people, and they must use this means to get down from the top of the mountain!"

As soon as he explained it, it was easy to understand: the inside of the huge mountain here is actually an intricate passageway, which is very dense. In addition, the cave wall is smooth and there is almost no place for rock climbing. Therefore, to enter the bottom, you must use this kind of hanging basket. same tool.The formation of this channel is a natural effect, but it is very different from the principle of a cave. Although these intricate and dense channels are chaotic, there will eventually be a place where they meet, which means that there will be an empty vacuum under the ground. The zone, where all the passages converge, is like countless tributaries converging into a lake, and it is also like a bee's nest, densely porous, with a bee egg chamber in the middle.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the cave where several people are currently located is only at the upper end, and there is still a long distance from the underground ends of those passages.Wu Qi didn't know much about geology. It was the first time he had seen such a strange cave with a honeycomb structure. He wondered if the ancients had entered the bottom, found something inside, and recorded it in this strange way of petroglyphs. ?Could it be the pharmacy discovered by the archaeological team before?To be more exaggerated, could it be groups of alchemy furnaces? Wu Qi controlled his reverie and asked, "Is it possible that the bottom is already submerged in water? According to this depth, the end of these passages must be below the water level of the river, and it may have been filled with water!"

Zhao Guai knocked on the rock wall and listened to the voice: "Probably not, there may be an underground river flowing underneath, but it will definitely not be fully irrigated, otherwise these passages cannot be kept so dry. It’s not very far from where we are now!” Hearing Zhao Guai's voice, he seemed to want to go down and find out, but he quickly made a decision and let it go.As the saying goes, it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. At this time, all the equipment of the archaeological team has been discarded. Without any tools used for rock climbing, it is obviously impossible to go down the cave. Human life is a joke.

Although there was no danger, everyone was exhausted after being tossed about like this, and they returned angrily. They were surprised to find that Ertiao and Li Xiaomeng were lying on the ground, but Du Fan had disappeared! Several people were shocked. It would not be surprising if other people disappeared, it was just that he was looking for the exit, but right now Du Fan, who was unconscious, disappeared, which made people feel astonished.And he was poisoned and unconscious, unable to move around by himself, the only possibility was that he was taken away by something. Will it be taken away by some wild beast?Wu Qi thought of this shock, but immediately a burst of strange fragrance penetrated into his nostrils dispelled this worry. Wu Qi was shocked when he heard it, and suddenly understood: This is actually the fragrance of sleeping dream grass. No wonder Ertiao and Li Xiaomeng fell asleep together. I can't wake up even if I shake it.Someone put hypnotizing dream grass in the fire, and he took advantage of this gap to leave with Du Fan on his back!Wu Qi couldn't understand: This person took Du Fan away with good intentions or malice. Could it be that there are really people living in this barren mountain and wild place?Then where can he carry Du Fan on his back?What is the purpose?

"Is there someone else here?" Captain Feng asked in astonishment, and then glanced at Zhao Guai, but Zhao Guai said coldly: "It's really hard to say for a while, not to mention that we don't know the purpose of these people at all, I'm afraid they will I'm afraid that those who come will be unkind!" In just a moment, Wu Qi felt uncomfortable, as if there were many dangers hidden in the surrounding darkness, and they would attack everyone at any time. Encountering this situation, several people were a little flustered, but Ghost Wu closed his eyes, as if he was trying to perceive something.After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and pointed to the mountain wall behind him and said, "Over there!" After speaking, he took a big step forward.

"I smell a special smell, it should be from those people, maybe I can chase it out by following the smell!" Ghost Wu said while probing forward. "Follow up!" Zhao Guai said immediately, he seemed to believe in Ghost Wu's strength, and he was unwilling to give up such an opportunity right now.While speaking, Feng Dui carried the two articles on his back, Wu Qi carried Li Xiaomeng on his back, and Ghost Wu led the way, and followed them to explore. Wu Qi won't have any doubts about Ghost Wu's ability to distinguish. Sure enough, he was seen shuttling through the cave like a string of his own backyard. Seeing the faint light, slowly, the light became more and more obvious, from the original line of sky to the sky. When the few people just realized that they had walked out of the cave, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Right in front was a short wall made of chaotic stones, lying across it like a tomb, a few words were engraved on a boulder in the middle of the short wall, but it was so blurred that it was unrecognizable, like a warning sign.This place is already deep in the jungle. Because it is halfway up the mountain, the vegetation here is extremely dense, and the sunlight cannot penetrate, making it gloomy. Through the cover of the dense forest, you can faintly see low buildings scattered scattered on All around, the color of rotten wood is glowing, like graves.But Wu Qi looked carefully and confirmed that these were not graves, but houses for living people.

This kind of scene also surprised Wu Qi. For a while, he thought of Peach Blossom Spring, but Peach Blossom Spring is a blessed place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. No matter how you look at it, it feels weird and evil, and it really doesn’t look like a paradise. "What kind of place is this?" Zhao Guai opened his eyes wide, feeling a little fluttering, "I've never heard of such a village in this deep mountain before. Could it be that there are really residents living here in Guizizhang? ?” Ghost Wu also stopped, glanced around, and said to Wu Qi: "The smell is getting stronger and stronger, it should be here! Do you smell anything weird?"

Wu Qi was stunned, shrugged his nose subconsciously, and suddenly a strange feeling rushed into his mind. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly identified it carefully, and then affirmed in astonishment: "This smell is similar to what we had in Zhou's house. The old man's smell is the same, why is it here?" This was really beyond his expectation, how is this possible?Could it be that Mr. Zhou's strange illness is related to this place? Wu Qi asked Team Feng: "Could this be some ancient ruins? If there are real people in such a large residential area, it is unlikely that they have not been discovered for so long. How can there be such a secluded place now?" Kind of thing!" Team Feng said: "It's not impossible! There are very few people coming in the deep mountains of Guizizhang. Besides, such dense forests are very concealed, and they can't be found from any angle. It's not that there are no people who live in seclusion in the deep mountains. The greatest possibility is to shoulder some kind of mission! This kind of mission is hereditary, and in such an isolated place, it is likely to be passed on indefinitely!" Zhao Guai took it over and said, "We saw it just now, there are indeed people here. If these people want to protect their inheritance, then we may be in trouble!" Several people realized that Zhao Guai was not talking alarmistly. Living in such a primeval forest, the characteristics that humans should have had been worn away by nature, and bloodthirsty may have become the most distinctive feature that distinguishes them from normal humans. "Someone!" Feng Dui suddenly called out cautiously. They raised their eyes and saw a group of people in black clothes and masks in the dense forest, holding sticks, and quickly moving towards the direction where they were. Come rushing over.
