Sisi unceremoniously took a few rings, necklaces, and small ornaments from the storage bag that were easy to carry. If you can wear it, you can wear it on your body, and if you can't wear it, put it in the bag.
Jiang Chaoge put away his storage bag, and Tianrong and Zuiyou walked forward.
The corner of Sisi's mouth was smiling, his legs were dangling between the tree trunks, and he was appreciating the big golden ring carefully, showing a satisfied expression.
Yu Renshu frowned, "Chao Ge, how much did you take from my bedroom?"
"Look at you, how many times have you asked this question, the storage bag is there, I didn't hide it from you, you can go in and see for yourself."
"You're not going to be evacuated, are you?"
"If I really evacuated, you should thank me well, otherwise you won't be able to catch it now, and you have to eat wild vegetable steamed buns."
Yu Renshu smiled bitterly and said, "It also makes sense."
Zhi Xuan grabbed Jiang Chaoge's collar and said dissatisfiedly, "When did he start calling you by your name?"
"I don't remember, what's wrong?"
"He is younger than you, why is he calling you by your name."
Yu Renshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I younger than you?"
"Of course." Jiang Chaoge opened Zhi Xuan's claws, and the collar was around his neck, "Ancestor, what's wrong?"
"I want to call your name too." Zhi Xuan said with raised eyebrows.
Jiang Chaoge laughed: "What's your name?"
Zhi Xuan swallowed his saliva: "Chao... Ge."
"Well, the pronunciation is accurate."
"Chao Ge." Zhi Xuan shouted again clearly, with a slightly awkward tone.
"Hey." Jiang Chaoge agreed casually.
"Chao Ge."
"Hey, ancestor."
Zhi Xuan smiled, his face blushed, he plunged his head into his arms, put his head against his chest, and rubbed hard.
Jiang Chaoge rubbed his head with a smile on his face.
After walking for an afternoon, the road became more and more difficult to walk, either high mountains or deep ravines. At dusk, it was raining heavily, and the plummeting temperature and the muddy woodland greatly reduced their speed.
Sisi disappeared for a few minutes, and then reappeared inexplicably. He shouted in the rain: "There is a cave ahead, let's go in to shelter from the rain."
Everyone rushed forward, and sure enough, at the junction of the two peaks, they saw a hole that was covered with weeds and was extremely difficult to find.
Sisi took out the scimitar from his waist and cleaned up the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and everyone quickly got in.
Sisi shook the water from his hair and said proudly, "I came here two years ago. I didn't expect my memory to be so good, and I found it all at once."
Jiang Chaoge looked around and found that it was actually a natural stalactite cave, with countless stalactites of various shapes hanging down on the stone wall, which was spectacular. Jiang Chaoge's brain unconsciously began to calculate the cost, operation method and investment of tourism development. Returning and waiting, after a long time of lust, thinking of my current situation, I can't help but sigh deeply.
Zuiyou took a towel and wanted to wipe Long Xiang's hair, but Long Xiang was embarrassed, and he dodged left and right without dodging, so he blushed and asked Zuiyou to wipe it for him.
Ruan Qiansu asked, "What are you sighing for?"
Jiang Chaoge squatted down to help her make a fire: "In our world, this kind of stalactite cave is very valuable."
"What kind of value method?"
"People who live in cities haven't seen it, they'll pay to see it."
Si Si said curiously: "What's so beautiful, there are several places in the Kunlun Mountains... ah ah ah, what are you doing here with a fire!"
"What's wrong?"
"This heavy rain won't stop for a while, and it won't take long for the water to pour into the cave. The terrain here is low and it will definitely be flooded. We have to go inside."
The two had to put away the firewood.
This stalactite cave has a lot of space, but because there are too many stalactites hanging down, Tianrong and Zuiyou cannot move around, so they all turned into human figures and walked into the cave on foot, looking for a place with high terrain.
After walking for about 20 minutes, they found a high stone platform. Under the stone platform was a small water pool. This is where they rested today.
The crowd started to make a fire to cook, Sisi squatted on the ground and played with stones, while saying, "Tomorrow you can almost reach Taihua Peak, Taihua Peak, there are countless exotic animals, but that area is vast, and it is not If you want to touch it, you can meet it. When we reach Taihua Peak, we have to walk in groups. The size of the alien beast is too ostentatious. If we are lucky, coupled with my powerful guide, we may be able to avoid the alien beast and walk out of Taihua. Feng, the road ahead will be much easier.”
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Then it will be hard to guide."
Sisi supported the ground with one hand, and deftly turned somersaults, just in front of the fire. He rubbed his hands together and said urgently, "Is the meat ready, hurry up, hurry up."
Yunxi moved to the side and distanced himself from him: "No."
Si Si widened his eyes and moved a position beside him: "What are you doing, I don't eat people."
Yunxi moved to the side again and said gloomily, "Don't come near me."
Si Si was a little annoyed: "Why!"
Yu Ren said: "Don't embarrass him, he doesn't like to be near others."
Si Si puzzled: "Then what is he doing with you?"
Yunxi murmured in a low voice, "I was deceived."
The cave was dry and warm, and after eating, they didn't set up a tent, but fell asleep next to the fire.
As usual, it was Tian Rong and Zuiyou vigil at night. They didn't know what they were talking about. Tian Rong was annoyed and Zuiyou was giggling. After a while, Zhi Xuan also got up to look for Zuiyou.
Jiang Chaoge slept until the middle of the night, feeling a little chilly in his body. The warm object beside him suddenly disappeared, which made him quite uncomfortable. After struggling for a long time in his sleep, he woke up. Sure enough, Zhi Xuan was gone. Turning his head, the three alien beasts didn't know what they were discussing in a low voice, and in order to meet Zhi Xuan's domineering request, Tian Rong and Zuiyou both turned into children. Let's talk everyday together, the scene is a bit funny.
Jiang Chaoge rolled over, lay on his back, and planned to continue sleeping. He was about to close his eyes when he suddenly saw something on the stalactite above his head. The fire not far away was the only light source in the cave, so it was very dim. He rubbed his sullen eyes and opened his eyes as wide as possible. When he saw clearly, the fear was unstoppable like a rising tide, and a chill instantly spread all over his body.
It was a face... It was wrinkled, with sunken eye sockets, prominent eyeballs, high cheekbones, sparse hair, an old man's face, but a head the size of a baby, and the most terrifying thing was that it hung down , was looking at him without blinking!
"Ah—" Jiang Chaoge screamed in horror and jumped up from the ground.
When he called, everyone woke up.
Zhi Xuan almost instantly turned into an adult, and ran to his side, blocking him.
Everyone followed Jiang Chaoge's gaze, all gasping for air.
Then, behind countless stalactites, hideous faces hanging upside down slowly emerged, staring at them as if they were about to break out of the frame, their eyeballs rolling around, extremely terrifying.
Si Si whispered: "Don't move, don't move anyone."
Everyone was in cold sweat, and those faces seemed to grow on stalactites, one after another, pale and twisted, extremely frightening.
"This is a human-faced owl (xiao), and this cave is actually a human-faced owl's nest..." Sisi laughed dryly, "Haha, I didn't expect it."
Long Xiang glared at him.
Si Si swallowed his saliva: "Everyone take your things and exit the cave as carefully as possible."
Yu Renshu said softly, "Are you sure they won't attack us?"
"Uh..." Sisi hesitated, "Not sure."
Zhi Xuan asked inexplicably, "Why can't I feel their soul power? Can such a low-level alien beast hide their soul power?"
"Alien beasts are also evolving all the time, so it's not surprising that they hide their soul power, especially this kind of alien beast with low soul power, it's the easiest to hide."
Jiang Chaoge cursed in a low voice, "These things look so disgusting!"
Yu Ren said: "Don't say anything, hurry up."
They put on their luggage and cautiously retreated out of the cave. The heads of the human-faced owls turned around following their movements. Jiang Chaoge's heart trembled when he saw it, and he ran away if he really wanted to.
Suddenly, Jiang Chaoge saw a human-faced owl open its mouth and let out a harsh scream. Suddenly, all the human-faced owls in the cave screamed. They spread out a pair of black wings and flew towards the crowd. .
"Run! It's poisonous!" Sisi shouted, and the first girl ran wild.
Jiang Chaoge scolded: "You didn't say it sooner!"
Everyone started running, the terrain here is low, it is not suitable for them to play, it is better to leave early.
It's a pity that the speed of the human-faced owl was too fast, and it quickly rushed to the top of everyone's heads. As soon as Ruan Qiansu turned around, Zhengchen threw it out, only to hear the screams again and again, and several human-faced owls fell to the ground.
One of them fell in front of Jiang Chaoge. He took a quick glance and realized that this strange beast had the body of an owl and was the size of a puppy. It didn't look like a single one to be afraid of, but there were too many.
Yu Ren said: "You go first, I will deal with it."
Sisi shouted, "Don't attack with your soul power, this stalactite will fall and hit you, and you will all be dead."
Yu Renshu let out a "tsk", and Tian Rong swiped a human-faced owl with one blow, "It's the same if you don't use soul power to attack!"
Seeing that they couldn't escape, they had to fight. Jiang Chaoge swung his sword to kill, and shouted at the same time, "What poison are they? Are they deadly?"
"It can paralyze the nerves for a period of time. If bitten too much, it will be fatal." Sisi hid behind a large rock, drew out his bow and arrow, and shot two owls with one arrow.
Cloud Breath summoned four poisonous birds, flying at low altitude, biting the human-faced owl.
Tianrong and Zuiyou suffered from being too big to transform into their real bodies, so they had to chop with a short knife.
While fighting, the group ran towards the hole.
Ruan Qiansu only heard a muffled cry. Her arm was bitten by a human-faced owl. Although her head was quickly cut off by her, the nerves in her arm were instantly paralyzed. However, Long Xiang shrank his neck in fright.
Jiang Chaoge rushed over and swung the owl back with a knife: "You summon Zhengchen and take Yunxi out first."
Ruan Qiansu summoned Zhengchen, turned over neatly, and sat on Zhengchen's back. She ran to Yunxi's side, dragged Yunxi up, and ran to the entrance of the cave.
Si Si said enviously: "Wow, Shuhu, I have long wanted to get one, but Shuhu can run and fly, it's too hard to catch."
"Go back to the cave!"
The four poisonous birds spread their wings to block the way of the human-faced owl, protecting everyone from retreating to the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that Zhengchen was about to take Ruan Qiansu and Yunxi out of the cave, suddenly, the water poured in from the entrance of the cave. On the ground, after more than ten seconds of gushing, the water was slightly weaker, but it continued to gushing in.
Ruan Qiansu and Yunxi were soaked through their clothes, and their faces were immediately bloodless. Zhengchen took their collars in his mouth, dragged them from the water, and dragged them to a higher place, but the water level was getting higher and higher. It soon passed their waists.
Sisi's face changed: "Damn, it must be the river nearby that has been flooded, come back soon."
Jiang Chaoge said angrily, "What kind of place did you choose!"
Yunxi attracted the poisonous birds and dragged them out of the water. The water poured in had no tendency to stop at all. The water level was getting deeper and deeper. If they swam over, they would have little power to fight back against the human-faced owl in the water. , once paralyzed by the venom, it is likely to drown. In desperation, they had to retreat into the cave, and the number of human-faced owls only increased.
The crowd rushed into the hole as they beat, and soon, they waded in the water to a higher ground, and a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
"Sis, where are you going?"
Sisi wiped the water from his face: "How do I know!"
"Didn't you come here?"
"I only slept near the entrance of the cave, and never came in!"
"Bastard..." Yu Renshu gritted his teeth, "Go to the right, the right side is spacious."
Everyone rushed into the fork on the right without hesitation. The fork was said to be spacious, but it was only compared to the left. In fact, there were only two people passing side by side. After Long Xiang broke behind, this narrow road made people face an owl Unable to swarm, the attack power was greatly reduced, Long Xiang wielded the drunken halberd, and on the way they walked, there were countless corpses of human-faced owls.
After running on the fork for about ten minutes, a huge water hole appeared in front of them. The water hole was tall and wide. Due to the extremely dim light, they could not even see the opposite side. There was a hole in the center of the pool. The raindrops fell, obviously it was still pouring rain outside, and the faint moonlight reflected on the black pool water, which looked mysterious and cold.
Long Xiang said, "The human-faced owl is no longer chasing after him."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chaoge smiled: "I picked up two." He raised the two human-faced owls in his hands.
Yu Renshu said in disgust, "What are you doing with this ugly thing?"
"Selling money." Jiang Chaoge said as a matter of course, "Even if it's bad, you can still eat meat." He put the human-faced owl into the storage bag, and even probed the fork in the road when he came, wanting to go back and pick up two more .
Long Xiang also looked disgusted: "I don't eat anything with a human face, not to mention that it is poisonous."
"Hmph, I'm not starving you guys."
Yunxi sat on the ground and whispered: "Keep it, let me extract the poison sac, which can be used as poison."
Jiang Chaoge dragged him from the ground: "Are you all right?"
"I'm freezing to death."
Sisi said: "Our clothes are all wet, so that's not good, quickly put on our clothes and bake them on the fire. That skinny man, you put the poisonous bird at the fork to block it to prevent the human-faced owl from attacking again."
"My name is Yunxi."
"Oh."
The river water poured in from the entrance of the cave was wrapped in mud, sand and vegetation. It was very dirty. They were all in a mess, and their faces were pale from the cold. Chill out.
Everyone was about to change clothes when they suddenly realized that there was a woman here, and they all looked at Ruan Qiansu embarrassedly.
Ruan Qiansu sneered: "I don't turn my head, you don't turn my head either." After speaking, he turned around and changed his clothes.
Si Si changed his clothes and listened to the rustling behind him, he couldn't help but secretly looked back, but Long Xiang stared back.
After changing their clothes, they gathered around the fire and discussed how to get out.
"The other side seems to be very far away, and I can't see anything clearly. When the rain stops, let's go out above our heads."
Si Si looked up and said, "Alright, let's go out from the top of the head, but I'm worried that after going up, I will lose my bearings."
"Then we had to find it again."
After warming up, they also became curious about this water cave. Jiang Chaoge held a torch and strolled around the cave with Zhi Xuan, looking for other exits.
Zhi Xuan said: "I didn't expect that there are so many places in Kunlun Mountains that I have never been to, such as the stalactite cave you mentioned, I have never seen it before."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "The stalactite cave took thousands of years to form. Maybe you didn't form it at that time."
"Too."
"Then what are you and Yinchuan doing in Kunlun Mountain?"
Zhi Xuan thought for a while: "He reads, I drink, occasionally talk, and sometimes each in a daze. Years, decades, and hundreds of years have passed like that. If I'm tired, I'll leave and go out for a walk. Yin Chuan also leaves occasionally, and every time he comes back, he brings back more books and strange things."
"Where did you discover the essence of heaven and earth?"
"It was discovered by Yinchuan, I have never seen it before."
Jiang Chaoge said: "Then how can you be sure that there is such a thing?"
"The soul power of the Yuan of Heaven and Earth is very powerful, much stronger than any other beast, god, or ancestor we have ever seen. If such a thing existed before, we would have discovered it long ago."
Jiang Chaoge sighed: "You have been fighting for so many years, but it is for something you have never seen before."
Zhi Xuan was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Yeah, it's ridiculous."
The two of them were talking, and they had already circled the pool for half a week, and came to a waterway. The waterway is likely to be connected to the waterhole of the first cave they stayed in. Continuing down, there are several such waterways. , Under the radiance of the fire, they found a pure white thing in one of the shallower water channels.
The two squatted down, and curiously held the torch to reflect: "What is this?"
The white thing is not small, like a large shield, with a smooth and white surface, buried in the water, without the slightest trace of corrosion, it really doesn't look like something that will appear in the water.
Zhi Xuan looked and looked, then shook his head: "I don't know. It's strange."
Jiang Chaoge called out, "Sisi, come here."
Si Si ran over: "What's wrong?"
"What do you think this is?"
Si Si looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help shaking his head: "The light is too dark, I can't see clearly, why is it so clean and hasn't been corroded yet, is it white porcelain?"
"It's possible, I'm afraid it's just been put here, otherwise it wouldn't have been kept so well." Jiang Chaoge's eyes glowed, "If it is white porcelain, is it worth it?"
"Such a big piece, if the shape is complete, it should be very valuable."
Jiang Chaoge has made no secret of his desire for money now. Ever since he knew that Ruan Qiansu had returned all the gold coins to the Qi family, he had to pay Long Xiang a high commission, and now he also promised to give Si Si a large amount of tolls to lead the way. And he has to support such a large group of people, can he not worry about money? Right now, as long as there is a chance to make money, he will not let it go. He rolled up his sleeves: "I'll go down and get it."
Sisi grabbed him: "No, I don't know what will be underwater. There may be Wenyao fish, Ranyi fish and the like in this area. Although they are not fierce beasts, a bite from you is enough for you."
Zhi Xuan said: "I'll go, I'm not afraid of biting."
Jiang Chaoge looked at him moved: "No need, I'll just go down by myself, the water is not deep, oh, take off your clothes first, so as not to get wet."
Zhi Xuan took off his clothes, revealing his slender muscles, and he jumped into the water without hesitation.
Sisi asked curiously, "What kind of beast is he?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled slyly: "Secret."
Zhi Xuanyou walked to the side of the white thing, shook it with his arms, and after a while, he picked it up.
The moment it surfaced, when Jiang Chaoge touched the thing, he intuited that it wasn't porcelain, the touch was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
The three of them worked together to get the thing ashore and found that it was actually an oval egg!
Si Si was a little dumbfounded: "This... this is... an egg?"
Jiang Chaoge looked at the round shape, but it was not an egg.
Zhi Xuan got dressed and asked curiously, "What's the egg? It's not light."
Jiang Chaoge put his ear on the egg and tapped lightly: "The egg shell is so thick, could it be a fossil?"
At this time, the others warmed up and came over: "What are you doing?"
"We found an egg."
Yunxi came over, circled around the egg, and suddenly his face changed: "Quick, put it back!"
Jiang Chaoge was startled: "What's wrong?"
"Put it back now!"
At this moment, everyone felt that the cave under their feet suddenly trembled. They looked at each other, thinking it was an illusion, but in the next second, the cave trembled again, and the originally calm water suddenly became turbulent, and then a whirlpool formed in the center of the pool. , the vortex became bigger and deeper, and finally, the water in the entire pool was sucked into the vortex, and the water level dropped sharply.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Yun Xi said angrily: "You guys... hurry up and run!"
The pool water, which was half drained, suddenly swelled violently, and the pool water spewed out, drenching everyone on the shore again. In the center of the whirlpool, a dark, huge thing slowly surfaced.
Sisi swallowed his saliva and smiled dryly again: "Oh, it turned out to be its eggs."
