At first it was just a very small whirring sound, and it was also very vague, and it was even easy to confuse it with the sound I heard in other channels before. But soon, the whirring gradually became clearer.
Shao Xuan remembered what Lang Ga told him that there was a stone worm king in the mountain. He didn't believe it before. After all, after so many hunting teams in the tribe passed by, they had never seen the legendary stone worm king. Insect, even the sayings handed down by the ancestors are just guesses.
There are indeed some whirring sounds in the passage that are the sound of the wind blowing in and the flow of gas, but now, Shao Xuanneng is sure that it is not the sound of the wind, and the whirring sound is approaching here.
Shao Xuan's body was tense, he moved his legs slightly, and climbed up the steep slope. The cave wall here is a bit more slippery than the way the hunting team took, and it is more difficult to climb. Shao Xuan does not dare to use the stone knife now, he is afraid that the sound will alarm the stone worm below. Mai and the others said that when walking in the cave, try to keep your voice as quiet as possible. There is always a reason for them.
The whirring sound was very close, and the speed was much faster than Shao Xuan expected, and it was already a lot closer in the blink of an eye.
The inside of the cave is a little damp, and the air has a smell similar to lime, and the smell is getting stronger and stronger. Shao Xuanneng can clearly feel the humidity in the cave is rising, and the wall of the cave he is climbing has already adhered to it. The layer of extremely small water droplets made the cave wall more slippery and made climbing more difficult. Shao Xuan stepped on his feet several times before he stabilized.
Can't climb anymore!
The hands touching the cave wall can clearly feel the layer of extremely slippery liquid between the palm and the cave wall, and the same is true under the feet. It is not easy to keep it fixed in one place. If you relax a little, you may follow this path. Slide down again.
can not explain!
Incomprehensible! !
The wall of Mingming cave was fine just now. Although it was a little slippery and steeper than the road I walked before, with Shao Xuan's ability, it was not difficult to climb up this road. But how long has it been? The change of the cave wall is so great!
But at this moment, Shao Xuan could no longer think about it, and the rhythmic whirring sounded almost from below.
The place where it rolled down and fell just now is relatively flat, but after a few steps, you can see the tunnel that continues to extend downward. Shao Xuan could only see a short section down the passage he was in. As for whether there are other roads and a few passages further down the passage, he could not know what to do if it was really a stone worm king worm. ? If the stone worm king worm came towards the passage where he was, what would he do
With five fingers, the fingertips almost dig into the wall of the cave, but that's it, there is no way to dig in too much. The stone here is very hard, and it may be possible to dig a little more with the power of totem, but Shao Xuan dare not use it indiscriminately. , Some high-level beasts are very sensitive to the power of totems, and no one used the power of totems when they walked in the cave before.
Shao Xuan maintained the posture of clinging to the wall of the cave. He was too nervous, and his whole body was a little stiff. He didn't know if it was sweat or water droplets gathered from the humidity in the cave.
The inside of the cave was not stuffy. On the contrary, Shao Xuan always felt that the chill inside the cave was getting worse and worse. The lime-like smell in the nose also became more and more intense.
Looking up, the scene in the field of vision is also changing.
In Shao Xuan's field of vision, the color of the water droplets was white, which was different from the gray of the surrounding cave walls. However, the white color soon covered the gray cave walls, and the coverage quickly spread upward along the cave walls. This means that the walls of the cave above are all the same as the walls of the cave that Shao Xuan is clawing now, and the same changes have taken place.
huh... huh...
The sound got closer and closer, and it sounded just below.
Along with those whirring sounds, there are sliding sounds, like some creatures are wriggling.
Shao Xuan quietly clawed on the wall of the cave, carefully controlling his breathing and heartbeat, reducing his sense of existence, as if he was integrated with everything in the cave. Shao Xuan on the wall.
Listening to the voice below the hole, Shao Xuan thought, if the thing below really came this way, he would have no choice but to throw it out. He couldn't hold the wall of the hole with his fingers, so he would use a knife! If one knife is not enough, add another spearhead! That way you can always climb up, right
Even though he was dragged by that unknown type of bug, his equipment was still there. Even if the sound alarmed the thing, there was no way, escape was the most important thing.
In addition to the whirring sound, there is a sound like a heartbeat.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
It was obviously not loud, but it sounded like he had been hit with a heavy hammer in his heart.
Like the sound of muffled drums on a quiet battlefield, the silent caves seem to vibrate with this rhythm.
Stress comes with it.
Alternatively, this can be called the aura.
As if the thick dark clouds were pressing towards this side after being superimposed, Shao Xuan felt that breathing had become extremely difficult. When he did not rely on the power of the totem, his body strength was still inferior.
Just when Shao Xuan listened to the sound of approaching and was about to use the power of totem to draw a knife and climb up, the whirring sound and the muffled thunder-like thumping sound gradually faded away.
It seems that there are other forks below this road, and fortunately, the stone worm king worm did not come to this road.
When the sound faded away, Shao Xuan's muscles relaxed, and he almost exhausted all of Shao Xuan's strength in order to survive the brief moment just now.
No action, no fighting, nothing to do, just crawling on the wall of the cave, but even more tired than when fighting against the thorns black wind. Because of this, Shao Xuan couldn't control his hand. As soon as he loosened it, the whole person slid down the angle against the wall of the cave and returned to the place where he rolled down.
Shao Xuan could hear his heart pounding, beating like a small drum, and it took a while to recover.
Seemingly aware of something, Shao Xuan turned his head and looked up at the cave wall he was just clawing at. In the special field of vision, the wall of the cave was originally covered with a layer of white, but now the white gradually recedes, and gradually changes from the far side of the cave to this side, it looks like the white that has spread to the top of the cave is shrinking towards this side again. .
The air humidity in the cave gradually returned to its original state, no longer so humid, and even the rich lime smell just now disappeared.
Feeling a little itchy on his face, Shao Xuan raised his head and touched it, rubbed off a layer of powder like rock debris, and a hard layer formed on the two palms. When he moved his palms, he could feel a layer of stones falling off. .
Thinking of something, Shao Xuan crawled towards the top of the cave. Climbing is much easier without that sticky, slippery layer.
After carefully inspecting the cave wall, Shao Xuan found that when he climbed up just now, the fingerprints he had picked out on the cave wall were completely gone, as if he had never climbed there before.
No wonder people from the hunting party used to mark the cave, and the next time they left, those marks disappeared, which seemed to be similar to the situation they encountered just now.
The inside of the cave returned to its original state, as if no creature had ever come here.
Shao Xuan did not go down, but went up along the hole. He wanted to follow this road and see if he could get back to the road the hunting party took.
After finally climbing up the hole and looking around, Shao Xuan was dumbfounded.
He should have cut off the tentacles of the bug that dragged him over here, but now, there is no cut off tentacles, no other insects, no eyeless spiders, no other noises, and no struggles around. Drag traces.
Everything in the cave seems to have been restored!
In front of Shao Xuan, there are three openings that look exactly the same. There is no trace of any other biological activity, so it is impossible to distinguish.
Which hole was it pulled from before
Thinking back carefully, Shao Xuan found that he couldn't recall it at all, and he didn't know which hole to enter.
Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan clenched his fists and cursed secretly: "Fuck!"
