Not only Ding Sitian, but also everyone else looked at Chen Ziyan, wanting to see what he would say.
To be more precise, I want to know the solution from him.
Regardless of whether there is a waterfall or not, we can't move forward any further.
Wang Kaixuan was the most impatient. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen, where should we go next?"
The reason why he asked this was because through the light escaping from the searchlight, he could see some caves on the mountain wall next to them, which would undoubtedly be their choice.
"Don't worry, let me take a look." Chen Ziyan replied casually, and then controlled the searchlight in his hand to turn towards the mountain wall.
Then they saw the caves on the mountain wall, arranged in a unique order, and the traces of manual excavation were difficult to conceal.
At the junction of the mountain wall and the river, there are some simple stone steps, which further proves that this is a man-made construction.
"Look, there are dead bones over there!" Wang Kaixuan pointed in one direction and said.
When Chen Ziyan shined the searchlight over, he saw dozens of human skeletons scattered around the location he pointed to.
Only a skeleton is left of these skeletons, and they are still wearing armor that has long been lost. They look like soldiers.
"It is mentioned in the information that a group of rebels used Zhelong Mountain as a stronghold to fight against the government troops. Now it seems that these are the ones." Chen Ziyan said.
Although the armors and weapons were already in decay and it was impossible to tell which dynasty they belonged to, judging from the outline of the shapes, it was no surprise that they were products of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which corresponded to the information they obtained.<
/p>
"If these people are familiar with the situation here, then is the cave closest to them the exit from here?" Wang Kaixuan suddenly proposed such an idea.
"It's possible, but it's more likely to be the area where they live." Shirley Yang looked at other caves and said.
"Whether it's possible or not, we have to give it a try." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and made a decision directly: "Now the boat can no longer go on. Although there are other caves where the boat can be driven into, it is very possible.
It's because the water surface has become higher. If the water surface drops when we come out, the boat will be trapped inside."
Although this is only a possibility, none of them want to face this situation. They must know that the Sabertooth Viper is still in the water. Without this boat, what will they get back?
At this moment, Hu Bayi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at the waterfall in front of him and said, "Do you think that underneath this waterfall is the other side of Zhelong Mountain?"
Everyone else was lost in thought because of his words. Only Chen Ziyan didn't think too much. Although he couldn't remember the specific situation here, he knew that after leaving the waterfall, he should still have to walk some distance before leaving the mountain.
.
But just when he thought about this, Chen Ziyan suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and thought of another thing.
If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, when Hu Bayi and others arrived at the waterfall, they seemed to see a waterway on the opposite side.
So can they take advantage of it now?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, do you think there will be another waterway to get out of here?"
Hu Bayi was stunned by his sudden question, and then said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. It was mentioned in the information that the place where we came in has a road that leads directly to the other side of the mountain.
of waterways."
They had discussed it before, and the final conclusion was that the water channel they entered was different from what was mentioned in the information because the water level had risen due to continuous rain.
So in theory, as long as they can find the cave leading to the waterway, they can reach the other side of Zhelong Mountain smoothly.
Wang Kaixuan frowned and said: "But there is no way to find that waterway at this time. We can't try it one by one."
He was reminding Hu Bayi not to be too hot-headed and just think about it.
It’s not easy to say this, let alone implement it.
"That's true." Hu Bayi nodded in agreement.
He himself also knows that this matter is not that simple. He just considered the feasibility.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly asked Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, do you want to take a gamble?"
"What are you betting on?" Hu Bayi looked at him in confusion.
Chen Ziyan turned the direction of the searchlight, pointed at a naturally wide crack on the opposite side, and said, "Let's bet on whether we can get out from here!"
In fact, Chen Ziyan said it was a bet, but he was at least 30% sure that the natural rock crevice he pointed to was the path they were looking for.
When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were talking, he recalled the memories about this place again, and finally discovered a point worth paying attention to, that is, it was mentioned in the original plot that the waterway that can go straight to the entire mountain is probably a recent one.
It only appeared ten years ago, so the only naturally occurring exit in the surrounding area caught his attention.
Of course, Chen Ziyan didn’t know what was inside, so he was only 30% sure.
But he felt that even if this road was not direct, it should be able to save them some distance.
Anyway, we are getting off the boat and walking through the mountains, so why not try it one more time.
Even if it really doesn't work, they can still come back here and they have the opportunity to try and make mistakes.
Hu Bayi frowned and glanced at the rock crevice pointed by Chen Ziyan, thought for a moment and said, "I might as well give it a try."
He observed the water flow in the rock crevice and found that it was quite considerable. This meant that the space inside was not too small, and even if something went wrong, he could still turn around and return, so he said he could give it a try.
After receiving Hu Bayi's response, Chen Ziyan looked at the others: "Everyone, what do you think?"
The reason why he asked Hu Bayi first was because to a certain extent, this guy could represent Wang Kaixuan and Ding Sitian, and he himself could somewhat represent Shirley Yang, so the two of them could make preliminary decisions.
Things.
Chen Ziyan knows very well that if he wants to make a decision, the more people involved, the more confused he will be, so before making important decisions, he will try his best to keep the number of people participating in the discussion to a minimum.
As for asking other people now, it's not just a formality, but I want to hear if they have anything to add.
Wang Kaixuan shook his head decisively: "No, I will go wherever you go."
Ding Sitian glanced at Hu Bayi, and then shook her head slightly: "I don't have a problem either."
As for Shirley Yang, who was represented, she directly said to Chen Ziyan: "Let's go, it's really worth trying."
After getting everyone's approval, Hu Bayi turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the crevice without any ink.
