(Only one chapter will be updated tonight, use the time to plan the plot development of the second volume)
Chu Lang protected the young wolf from the falling gravel in the cave. When all the gravel fell, Chu Lang made a fire break and carried the young wolf to the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave has completely collapsed and is blocked so tightly that not even the slightest light can get through.
It is absolutely impossible for Chu Lang to get out of this cave again.
Chu Lang said to the wolf cub: "Little brother, we have to find a way out, otherwise we will die here."
The wolf cub stuck out its tongue and licked the blood on the wolf's face. It made a "wow" sound, as if it was hungry.
Chu Lang has an optimistic personality and never accepts defeat. Even though the cave entrance collapsed, Chu Lang still did not give up hope. He carried the wolf cub and walked deeper into the cave.
Hope to find an exit.
The cave is deep and extends downwards. The deeper you go, the more you feel the coldness invading your body.
As Chu Lang walked, he looked carefully at the cave wall, but to Chu Lang's disappointment, he did not see a crack through which light could penetrate.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Lang also came to an end.
Chu Lang estimated that he had traveled at least three miles.
And since he has been going down, he should be deep underground now. The cave is also more humid, and water is constantly dripping from the roof and walls of the cave.
There is also water in depressions on the ground.
Chu Lang put the wolf cub down, and the wolf cub licked the water in the recess. Chu Lang also squatted down and drank some water with his hands. If he no longer forced his internal energy to work, the painful feeling on Chu Lang's body was also alleviated.
Chu Lang looked carefully at the end of the cave. Apart from the damp and uneven cave wall and two large rocks, there was nothing else.
Is he really going to die trapped in this desperate situation?
Chu Lang said to himself: Master placed all his bets on me, and Brother Hu died tragically for me, so I must not die, I have to live...
At this time, the little wolf was also full. Chu Lang tore off two strips of his clothes and bandaged the injured area. The little wolf howled at Chu Lang and rubbed his head against Chu Lang's face. Chu Lang understood that the little wolf was
Be grateful for it.
Chu Lang touched its head.
"Brother, can you find a way to get out of this hellish place... Let's rest for a while and then check every inch of this hole carefully. As long as we don't swallow this breath, we have to find a way to survive. Are you right..."
Suddenly, the little wolf in his arms made an aggressive sound, and Bi Youyou looked at one place.
Chu Lang suddenly turned around and saw a mouse quickly escaping behind a stone along the foot of the hole.
The stone is as big as a millstone.
Now mice are also food, and Chu Lang is ready to catch the mouse.
Chu Lang put the fire stick in place and put the little wolf down. The little wolf stumbled to the stone and put one of its paws into the gap, as if trying to catch the mouse out.
Chu Lang said: "You are not a cat. How can you have that ability? Let me help you. But we have agreed that we will catch it half way..."
Chu Lang walked to the stone, and he used force to push it away. As his body twitched in pain, Chu Lang also used force to push the stone as big as a millstone away.
To Chu Lang's surprise, after pushing the stone away, a cave entrance was revealed.
The diameter of the hole is three feet.
Hope suddenly rose in Chu Lang's eyes, and he let out an excited cry.
The little wolf cub was even more impatient, dragging its injured body into the hole to chase the mouse.
Chu Lang was even more energetic. He took the fire seal and bent down to enter the hole.
As we moved forward, the cave became wider, and Chu Lang was able to straighten up and walk.
Chu Lang and the wolf cub walked forward along the cave. After walking for a while, Chu Lang and the wolf cub came out from the other end of the cave. What appeared in front of Chu Lang was a huge cave, which was two to three feet high and connected.
Several smaller caves.
There is a large pool in the low recess on the west side of the cave, which is as big as a house. There are also waterways meandering around the pool. A thin suspended stream flows into the pool from a hole as big as a bowl in the roof of the cave, constantly flowing.
Stir up the water.
Moreover, there were "crackling" sounds in the water from time to time, as if something was slapping the water.
To Chu Lang's surprise, there were two stone platforms at the east and west ends of the cave. On the stone platforms were two large stone troughs as big as iron pots. In the stone troughs, there were two wicks as thick as a baby's arm, burning with flames, illuminating the cave.
Under the action of fire, the stones in the cave emit colorful lights.
It feels like a dream.
There is a fire burning in the cave, there must be someone in the cave!
Chu Lang blew out the fire stick and put it away, and he also became alert.
At this time, the pool made another "crack" sound and splashed with water. A big fish jumped out of the pool and jumped onto the rocky ground.
The wolf cub ran over and bit the flipping fish.
It took the wolf cub several times to "subdue" the fish. It held the fish with its claws, bit it, and ate it.
And fish!
When Chu Lang came to the pond, he saw numerous fish shadows in the pond. Countless fish, large and small, were swimming among the lush aquatic plants. Some fish would slap the water with their tails from time to time, making a "crackling" sound.
This made Chu Lang extremely happy. At least he and the wolf cub didn't have to worry about starving to death.
How did Chu Lang know that old man Shi Yu arranged to put fish in this pond, and also put many fish fry in it. The two stone troughs were lit by old man Shi Yu, and they can burn for several years.
Chu Lang thought there was someone in the cave, so he planned to search it carefully.
Chu Lang first checked the big cave, and there was nothing abnormal. Chu Lang then checked the small caves. There was nothing unusual in the first cave, which surprised Chu Lang. There was a bed in the second cave, and a set of quilts on the bed.
There is a table next to the bed.
There is also a teapot on the table.
There is also a wooden box next to the table.
Someone lived here!
Chu Lang saw that the bed and table were very old.
Because they were in a deep cave, these things didn't get much dust.
Chu Lang pulled off the quilt. Due to its age, the cloth was also deteriorated. Chu Lang pulled off a piece of cloth, revealing the cotton wool inside.
Chu Lang came to the last small cave again, which surprised Chu Lang even more. There was a stone coffin placed in the cave.
There is an ever-burning lamp burning on the cave wall above the sarcophagus.
The light reflected on the sarcophagus gave off a cold and faint light.
What exactly is this place?
Who actually lived here?
What's in the sarcophagus?
Questions popped up in Chu Lang's mind.
But one thing excited Chu Lang. Since someone had lived here, there might be another exit, so Chu Lang began to look for an exit.
As a result, after searching for two hours, Chu Lang could not find the exit.
Chu Lang returned to the cave where the sarcophagus was placed.
Chu Lang used his strength to push open the heavy coffin lid.
The coffin was empty, with no bones.
There was a long white cloth hanging on the bottom of the coffin. Chu Lang lifted up the white cloth and saw many words densely engraved on the stone slab at the bottom of the coffin.
In particular, the four larger characters are more conspicuous—Honghou and Nine Questions!
