In the next few days, Chen Si fed Meng Tianhua snake demon meat to help him recover from his injuries. At the same time, he picked off the snake demon meat bit by bit, cut it into strips, and put it on stones to dry.
He took off his coat and made it into a simple satchel. Once the meat strips were dried, he stored them in it. Now he had a full bag filled with them.
I don't know how precious these elixirs for treating injuries are if they are out there. Now that there are so many of them in front of us, we need to prepare some stocks quickly, because they might be needed in the future.
During the past few days of Chen Si's busy work, Meng Tianhua had completely recovered, and during this period, he helped Chen Si make dried meat.
At the same time, he also left a lot for himself. On the one hand, it can be used as food rations for the next few days. On the other hand, if he really goes out, this is a good medicine that can cure all diseases. It is hard to find, and no amount of it is enough. .
Seeing that he was almost ready, Chen Si stood up, dusted himself off and said, "Let's go."
Meng Tianhua looked at the direction Chen Si was heading, looked back at the river behind him, and asked doubtfully: "Brother, aren't we going along the river this time?"
Chen Si looked at the red river with some fear and said, "Why do you think the snake demon had to swim downstream at the risk of his life?"
"Isn't it to use the power of the water to get rid of us..." Meng Tianhua lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, but at the same time another fear surged into his heart, "Or maybe there is more than one such monster, and there are more monsters downstream. With his companions..."
Chen Si nodded and said seriously: "This is their territory. We can't afford to gamble. It's better to be careful. Let's take the land route for now."
Meng Tianhua nodded with deep understanding. He didn't want to meet these inhuman monsters again. It was good luck to save his life this time, but he might not be able to survive next time.
And in the past few days, Meng Tianhua has really seen what Chen Si is capable of, and knows that this man is probably not an ordinary person. At this time, it is easiest to survive by listening to him honestly.
After these few days of exploration, Chen Si already knew the surrounding environment well.
Climbing up from the stone wall, there is a path along the river, which should be connected to the previous road.
It's just that there's no guarantee that there won't be harassment from centipede sharks along the way. Walking on this road is not safe.
In addition, walking towards the tidal flat, there is a crack that can only allow one person to pass through. I don’t know where it leads.
It seems to be a natural formation, but there are many traces of artificial widening. Chen Si and Meng Tianhua are not too big, so walking inside will not be a problem.
Chen Si finally chose to go through this crack, and after getting in, he bent his waist a little, which was just right.
Meng Tianhua naturally followed behind cautiously.
The environment inside is quite depressing, the front and back are dark, and walking for a long time is really heart-wrenching.
There are always rustling sounds coming from the dark hole behind him, as if something is following him...
Meng Tianhua shuddered, and in order to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart, he found an excuse to talk to Chen Si: "Brother, I have known you for so many days, but I still don't know your name."
Chen Si was very sensitive to exposing his own information, so he responded calmly: "After we go out, your family paid the money, and we don't owe each other anything. Do you know what my name is for?"
Meng Tianhua scratched his head and said with a smile: "How can you say that? My father said that business is business and favor is favor. Brother, you rescued me because the money is good, but you have rescued me several times and you have done nothing to me. Yan is a lifesaver, I keep all these kindnesses in my heart, and I will definitely repay you when I get out."
Although he said so, he was the son of a businessman after all. Meng Tianhua saw that Chen Si was extraordinary and had already started to think about making friends. Being able to have friendship with such a person would be a good thing for the future no matter what. There are pros and cons.
Chen Si thought for a while and felt that there was no harm in having a good relationship with these aristocratic families. Maybe he could get some information from them in the future, so he said his name, "Chen Si."
Unexpectedly, Meng Tianhua was stunned after hearing these two words.
"Brother, your name is somewhat similar to a famous classmate in our school... Huh? The face seems to be somewhat similar."
He unconsciously stretched his head forward and quietly looked at Chen Si's side face.
Chen Si had a straight face and his complexion was livid.
Didn’t expect that the person who was saved was actually a schoolmate? He used to be well-known in school. Does Meng Tianhua know him?
Unexpectedly, Meng Tianhua looked at it for a long time, but finally shook his head and said to himself: "It's impossible, it's just that they look alike. Brother, he doesn't have the temperament to be a dog licker... "
Chen Si's face turned even colder.
Meng Tianhua knew how to read people's words and thought that Chen Si was unhappy, so he immediately changed the subject and continued to ask: "Brother, tell me, this snake demon and the shark have such huge differences in appearance. They are obviously two species. Why do they have similar meat effects?" What? Is there any connection between them? "
In fact, Chen Si had always had doubts in his heart, and he frowned and replied: "The sharks who were clinging to the stone wall that day were already forced back by me, but after hearing the call of the snake demon, they finally swarmed up without fear of death. , the snake demon should be a boss-like existence, it may have evolved from the sharks, or it may be a branch of the sharks, but there are currently insufficient clues and nothing can be inferred."
Meng Tianhua remembered the murals he had seen before, touched his chin, and said: "Judging from the records of their ancestors, these mermaids and snake demons should have coexisted for at least tens of thousands of years, and their relationship is somewhat similar. In the slave period of primitive society, maybe what we saw before was a slave tribe."
Chen Si nodded slightly, feeling that Meng Tianhua's analysis was quite reasonable.
After all, these creatures have been trapped underground for so many years, isolated from the world, and their social relationships may still be in a very primitive stage.
In a living environment where the jungle prevails, it is natural for the stronger and more powerful snake monsters to evolve into the ruling class.
However, the painting on the stone pillar in the pool of flesh and blood has always made Chen Si worried.
At that time, the two little people entwined in front of the statue were connected with their bodies and their tongues were intertwined. Judging from their bodies, they were clearly the mermaid and the snake demon. In ancient portraits, the status of the two seemed to be more equal. I don’t know why it has become like this now. kind of relationship.
At this time, Meng Tianhua was timid again and said: "Brother, why do I always feel like there is someone following me? Is it my imagination..."
Chen Si, however, said disapprovingly: "The centipede-headed shark has been here a long time ago, and you just discovered it now?"
