"It's a pity that the leaf litter here is too thick, otherwise we could just find the deepest position, and when the moon rises, everything will be fine."
After explaining, Hu Bayi looked at the thick dead branches and leaves on the ground, feeling a little regretful.
Now, although he can also infer the location based on the moonlight, that will undoubtedly increase their workload.
In fact, what Hu Bayi did not say is that their number is limited. If there is a deviation by then, the amount of work will not be as simple as doubling.
However, considering that everyone was already tired, he did not say such disappointing words.
Thinking of this, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan who was not far away and asked: "Master Chen, do you have any advice?"
Seeing that Chen Ziyan was also observing the nearby situation, he thought that he was also using some method to determine the location of the ancient tomb.
In this case, the results obtained by the two people will corroborate each other, which will undoubtedly reduce the possibility of errors.
There is no way, although the time of acquaintance is short, Chen Ziyan's endless tricks make him feel like he knows everything.
Unfortunately, he is destined to be disappointed this time.
Although Chen Ziyan is indeed good at many aspects, he still knows very little about the art of Feng Shui.
At most, I know some professional terminology, but I don’t understand anything no matter how profound it is.
And in the Xiling inheritance he obtained, there are also no secret techniques in Feng Shui.
"I don't want you to touch Colonel Jin's dragon-seeking technique. I'm just observing the traces around to see if any wild beasts have been here."
There was no pretense, Chen Ziyan told the truth directly.
"Ah -" Hu Bayi was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted: "That's right, Mr. Chen has thought carefully. This place has not been inhabited for many years, and there may be ferocious beasts taking over."
At the same time, he also felt in his heart that he really thought too much.
There is no such perfect person in this world. If he really knows everything, then he can no longer be called a human being, but should be called a god.
Yingzi was not interested in Hu Bayi's Feng Shui skills, but was rather interested in what Chen Ziyan was doing, and came over to take a closer look.
However, although her hunting experience is far greater than that of ordinary people, in terms of details, she is not as good as Chen Ziyan, who has received the Xiling inheritance, so she has not been able to discover anything.
When Chen Ziyan saw Yingzi's expression next to him, he knew that she had not found anything unusual, so he pointed to a place not far away and said:
"Yingzi, find a stick and try it there."
"Okay, Brother Chen." Yingzi responded crisply, then picked up a dead branch from the side and reached towards the place pointed by Chen Ziyan.
As soon as the dead branches reached into the leaves, Yingzi's eyes became more serious and she whistled at the vigilant hounds around her.
Upon hearing their master's call, the hounds scattered around immediately ran to her side.
"Go!"
Yingzi pointed to the open space in front of him and gave the order.
The hounds immediately dispersed and surrounded the area with eager eyes.
Chen Ziyan was amazed at this scene. Although he had known for a long time that hunters' hounds were strictly trained, but now they can be said to be driven like an arm.
After the hounds were in their respective positions, Yingzi began to wave the dead branches in his hands and sweep aside the fallen leaves in that area.
Not long after, I saw a dark hole appearing under the substantial pile of fallen leaves.
"Retreat!"
Yingzi, who has been in the forest all year round, is very vigilant. Seeing this situation, he quickly ordered the hounds to retreat.
Although only half of it was exposed, she could already estimate the specific outline of the hole. She didn't want her precious hounds to be in danger.
"Oh, this hole is really big!"
Wang Kaixuan also walked over at this time and looked curiously towards the entrance of the cave.
The situation inside the cave is not yet known, but the cave entrance alone is enough to accommodate two people, at least for Wang Kaixuan's size.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that Wang Kaixuan wanted to go over and have a look, Hu Bayi quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
I still don’t know what’s going on here, but what if something goes wrong if I’m so reckless?
It's not like Hu Bayi has never encountered such a thing. When they were in the Annan rainforest, they were often attacked by things in the forest.
Therefore, Hu Bayi knows very well that in the face of such an unknown situation, maintaining a safe distance is the safest choice.
"Don't worry, Lao Hu, you still don't know my skills!"
Although Wang Kaixuan knew that Hu Bayi was doing it for his own good, he could not bear his curiosity. After seeing that there was no movement at the other side of the cave, he walked over carefully with a flashlight.
"I said, this hole is quite deep."
But he couldn't find anything after looking back and forth, which made him confused.
"Is it possible that someone left the hole for theft?"
As soon as Hu Ba thought of this possibility, he quickly took out the compass and started to verify it.
He felt that the scale of the cave in front of him was not something that animals could do, but more like something humans could do.
"This is not a hole theft!"
At this time, Yingzi suddenly said something, attracting everyone's attention.
Although she failed to discover the cave just now, she can still distinguish the marks on the cave wall.
She walked over and pointed to the outermost cave wall and said, "Look at these marks. They don't look like those left by a shovel. They look more like claw marks."
"Paw prints?"
After hearing what Yingzi said, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan quickly looked at the cave wall again.
Wang Kaixuan even took out his engineering shovel and struck him at the side.
Comparing the two in this way, the gap becomes even more obvious.
Compared with the flat excavation surface of the engineer shovel, the excavation marks on the cave wall are narrower and deeper.
I haven't thought about it until I was reminded. Now that I look at it, I feel that these are the traces left by some kind of giant creature.
"Is it possible that there are really savages in this savage ditch?" Wang Kaixuan's first thought was the savages in the rumors.
It’s no wonder that he would think so. After all, there are always rumors that there are savages here. Now that such an incredible cave has been discovered, who else would think of this at the first time.
In fact, not only Wang Kaixuan, but also Yingzi also thought of the savages.
After all, no one has ever seen a savage, so maybe they are good at digging holes.
This is not impossible.
However, Hu Bayi had a different idea. He looked thoughtfully at the traces on the cave wall and expressed his guess:
"Do you think this was dug out by the earth dragon?"
As soon as Hu Bayi said these words, the scene suddenly fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Wang Kaixuan asked: "You mean... this hole was dug by the earth dragon that Master Chen said, how big should it be?"
You must know that although that thing is not a snake, it still has the form of a snake. If this is a cave where adult earth dragons go in and out, how long should this thing be?
Wang Kaixuan suddenly felt that his words were lacking and he could not come up with suitable adjectives.
Yingzi was even more direct and simply recruited his hounds back.
If there really was a monster of that size, even her mastiff would probably take one bite at a time.
