Going down the underground road is indeed the best way to find the king bug's movements, but it is also dangerous.
After some discussion, Shao Xuan, Ao, and Ta went down to find them. It was not necessary to have too many people together. Too many people would make it difficult to move.
Put a rope down from the hole in the low mountain, and slide down the rope. The grass ropes that you carry are not that long, so you tie several grass ropes into one. It has been sliding for nearly 100 meters before landing, that is to say, the stone worm king worm moved up from here, and then took a head and then retreated down this passage, and then continued to walk in a different direction.
"Which way?" Ao looked at the passages on both sides and couldn't make up his mind. After coming down, there are two paths, one is the direction from which the stone worm king worm came, and the other is the direction where the stone worm king worm leaves again.
Shao Xuan carefully looked at the patterns on the stone wall, reached out and touched the stone wall, pointing in one direction: "Go over there, but let's go to the other side first."
Shao Xuan wanted to see if the Stone Insect King Insect came from there, and did it pass through Bat Mountain? If so, then, the movement of the leader bat can find a reasonable reason.
Knowing what Shao Xuan meant, Ao and Ta did not object, and went in the direction where the stone worm king worm came.
Although it was underground, before going down to the cave, Shao Xuan wrote down the position on the ground and carried a bead of Wanxiang Eye in his hand.
"Without the sun and the moon, it can also recognize the direction?" The tower was surprised.
"Yes." Shao Xuan said. When he was inquiring about the situation with the sub-tribe people, he had heard them say that they also used Wanxiang pupil when they were underground, but those who could have Wanxiang pupil were all people with great status in the sub-tribe. After all, Wanxiang pupil Less, the crystal tribe will not give it frequently.
In order to confirm Shao Xuan's words, under the light of the water moon stone, a line opened on the universal pupil in Shao Xuan's hand, like a narrow animal pupil. clearer.
Both Ao and Pagoda are people with strong orientation. As long as you know the approximate orientation of the sun and estimate the current time, you can determine where the Bat Mountain is.
Continue down this passage.
"It's from there!" Tower confirmed.
The further they walked, the more they became sure that this passage came from Bat Mountain.
Speeding up, the three quickly arrived at the location of Bat Mountain.
How can you know that there is Bat Mountain
In addition to his own estimation, there is an upward passage there, but the passage does not lead directly to the ground, but only extends upwards from the ground for more than 20 meters.
"You said, is it because, when the stone worm king worm came here, he found the trace of the leader bat, so he wanted to go to the ground, but the leader bat responded quickly, and the stone worm king worm moved , it ran away. Is it possible?" Ao said his speculation.
"It is indeed possible." Ta agreed.
"This should be the Bat Mountain. Even if it's not directly below, it's not far away. However, why did the stone worm king worm come out of its old nest? It's over, you should go back along the way." Shao Xuan was puzzled.
"Perhaps, the Stone Insect King Worm wants to change places?" Tower said.
Shao Xuan was noncommittal, "Continue to look over there."
The three continued to run along the direction where the stone worm king worm came out, in a hole 100 meters deep underground.
The oxygen here is not sufficient. The farther away from the low mountain, the thinner the air will be. This is not the old nest of the stone worm king, and there is not much ventilation. Fortunately, the three of them have a relatively strong endurance under the thin air. If they are elementary or intermediate totem warriors, they may not be able to continue to persevere.
Ao Heta also wanted to know what the purpose of the stone worm king worm was to run around after it came out of its old nest. However, they soon understood why the stone worm king worm did not run back but ran elsewhere.
A section not far from Bat Mountain, there is a fault, the passage is cut off here, and, here, there are traces of the stone worm king worm turning.
"It's been a while since this place has been like this. The only thing that can change the ground like this is the cataclysm of last year." Ao said.
"That is to say, maybe it was during the cataclysm last year, the stone worm king worm was shocked, so he left his old nest, and ran here in chaos, but the underground has also undergone great changes due to the cataclysm. , after it comes out, it can't find its way back..." Speaking of which, the tower has a feeling of irony, "Even if the stone worm king worm can't go back along the original road, it can go to other places, why continue to stay away?"
"If it is, it can't recognize the orientation?" Shao Xuan said a possibility.
Ao and Ta were silent. A king beast, unable to identify the direction? Shouldn't the higher the level, the smarter it is
"Also... this possibility cannot be ruled out." Ao finally choked out such a sentence.
Shao Xuan sensed his surroundings, "The stone walls here are much thicker than those in other parts of the passage. It may be that the stone worm king worm stayed here longer."
The longer the Stone Worm King worm stays in a place, the more petrified that place will be. Shao Xuan could perceive that the surrounding stone walls were different from the original underground rock and soil, but belonged to the kind of special stone that was petrified by the stone worm king.
"Perhaps, the stone worm king worm left its lair in last year's cataclysm. In a panic, it ran here and stayed there for a long time, or it might have fallen asleep. When it woke up, the original road was already there. Cut off by changes in the ground, does it continue to move forward?"
It is not Shao Xuan's original intention to think of the stone worm king worm so badly, but this is the most probable of all the guesses.
But if this is the case, the three of them can only sigh: This IQ...
"No matter what the truth is, let's continue to see."
Now that the end of the passage has reached the end, then we will look for the direction where the stone worm king worm left.
Hope it's not going in the direction of the flame angle. Three expected.
Returning to the low mountain, telling others what they found, resting for a while, and after replenishing some food, Shao Xuan and the three continued to go underground and searched along the passage.
At a depth of 100 meters from the ground, the three of them kept running along the passage.
On the way, the three discovered another low mountain, which was very similar to the previous low mountain, which proved that the stone worm king worm had overstepped its head here.
"This should have happened in the past two days." Shao Xuan looked at the petrified trees around the low mountain. Even the roots of the trees were petrified. The leaves on the crowns were still green, brightly colored, and the branches and leaves were not wilted. This mountain forest understands that such a change will not take more than two days.
"Continue to look for it." Ao is now more and more uneasy in his heart. Although the direction here is not directly in the direction of Yanjiao, it is not far away.
Do not face the flaming horns, do not! Ao kept reciting these words in his heart.
However, the further forward they searched, the heavier the three felt.
Shao Xuan looked at Wan Xiangtong in his hand and sensed his surroundings.
"This is... Yanhe?"
"How is that possible?!" Ao and Ta exclaimed at the same time.
Have you arrived at Yanhe
But how could it be Yanhe
Isn't the Yan River all water
That’s not right. Before the cataclysm of heaven and earth, the water depth was more than 100 meters, but after the cataclysm, the river is far less deep, at most tens of meters, less than 100 meters. Of course, there may also be some water in the river. Deeper, though, now is not the time to wrestle with this.
Ao retracted his thoughts, raised his finger to the top of his head, and asked Shao Xuan, "Are you sure this is Yanhe?"
"Eighty percent. There is no hard rock not far from here, it should be muddy water, and there is water flow further away." It is impossible to determine how many meters away, but Shao Xuan can perceive that there is silt and running water above. Compared to rocks, silt and running water hinder perception less.
Moreover, this direction has been coming, it should be near the Yan River, in the upper reaches of the river where the Yanjiao headquarters is located. When Shao Xuan was fine before, he let Chacha fly upstream for a while.
"So, that stone worm king worm has already crossed the river?" Tower asked.
"That's right."
Although the stone worm king worm crossed the river, it would not go to the Yanjiao headquarters, which made the three people's tense mood a little relaxed, but there is also the Yanhe trading area on the other side of the river. The impact is also a huge loss for Yanjiao.
"Keep going!" The tower is so worried now that she can't wait to grab all her hair. They are on guard, they can't wait for the people who come to the sea, and they haven't seen the "thief" who gives them a headache. They thought the leader bat was already a Big trouble, I didn't expect that there would be such a bigger impact. If it wasn't for their strong ability to withstand pressure, they would probably panic.
No matter where the stone worm king worm went, the three of them will continue to look for it along this road.
"As soon as we find any changes, we will quickly withdraw." Shao Xuan said.
It is important to follow the traces of the stone worm king worm, but the more important thing is your own life. It is impossible to throw your own life here because of this matter.
What's more, this is nearly 100 meters underground, and the terrain is beneficial to the stone worm king worm. It's true, the three of them are completely crushed.
When Shao Xuan and the others continued to track the traces of the Stone Insect King, there was a forest outside the Yanhe trading area.
This place is already some distance away from the Yanhe trading area. After Yanjiao expanded the patrol area outside the trading area, some people with robbery thoughts had to withdraw their "hunting" area. They wanted to robbery and fish. things, but also unwilling to confront Yanjiao.
"What do you think the Yanjiao gang think? Mind your own business, it's none of our business to rob them!" said a man sitting on a tree, playing with a dagger made of animal bones.
"Who knows, anyway, I don't like them, and I won't go into the Yanhe trading area." A man with a muscular body, a beard on his face, and disheveled hair, said in a loud voice.
A voice came from the thick grass next to me, "The last time I went there, I was almost stared at by the flaming horns guarding the gate. Tsk, when I miss the things in their trading area? , I won't go in either!"
"That's right, we won't enter the trading area if we kill him, we'll just loot outside! Haha, we don't have to face those nasty Yanjiao people, haha!" Another person sitting on the tree patted his leg and said.
They are a group of people who specialize in robbery outside the Yanhe trading area. There are more than 20 people hiding here. There were about 50 people who were originally with them, but in other places, when they find "prey", they will be notified. .
When they robbery, they will only choose those far-reaching teams with relatively few people who look like they are easy to bully. Don't talk about robbery, I don't know how to die. A few days ago, the Dao Robber who was torn to pieces by others, who had no eyesight, robbed a monster who was more like a beast than the Flaming Horned Man. Deserving to be ripped off!
As for the person who said that he was almost stared out of a hole by Yanjiao people when he entered the trading area, it was actually because Yanjiao’s patrol outside the trading area encountered them and killed a few of them. Fortunately, they ran away. Hurry up and don't get caught.
Not long afterward, they were a bit of a freshman and wanted to go into the trading area to have a look. By the way, they would see who had good goods on hand. After those people left the trading area, they would start.
The Yanjiao people who guarded the gate felt that their aura was quite familiar, so they kept staring at them, making them nervous, and almost ran back, but since that time, they have not entered the trading area again, worrying about being caught The Yanjiao people were caught, and they hated the Yanjiao people who stopped them from robbery.
Several people were spit flying and criticizing Dou Yanjiao people, suddenly one person in the tree looked sharp, "What's going on?!"
An extremely dangerous feeling pervaded the surroundings, but he wasn't sure where the breath came from. Looking around, he didn't see anyone other than them at all, and the patrol team of Yanjiao would not patrol here. .
"Who's here?!" The others stopped talking and immediately became alert.
It was eerily quiet in the woods.
Only then did they realize that something terrible happened inadvertently around this place. Before, a lot of bird calls could be heard here, but they just started talking and didn't pay attention at all. Now they stop and realize that such a change.
The person who first noticed something was wrong, cold sweat fell from his forehead.
He still can't find the source of that breath, it seems that it is everywhere!
Moreover, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, even the slowest person in the team can feel the horror that makes his scalp burst, and the hand holding the knife shakes uncontrollably.
Generally speaking, when they don't know what is going on, they will hide quietly and watch in the dark, but now, the aura that shakes their minds makes it impossible for them to keep calm.
where? !
Where is it? !
Everyone held their breaths, checking the movement around them, and even the movement of a flying insect would be known to them.
No!
still none!
Where did that aura that made them unable to even resist the courage came from? !
There was no one around, not a single bird, and even the insects seemed to disappear at this moment, there was a dead silence, and the wind seemed to freeze.
clack clack-
A small voice came, stimulating their nerves.
It was movement from under their feet.
When they finally moved their eyes to the bottom, at that moment, everyone was so frightened that their souls almost flew out of their bodies.
