It was dark inside the cave.
This kind of blackness has no impact on practitioners like Li Zhixia and Mu Yao, and it doesn't have much impact on the current Shu Guan.
Now he can see not only far, but also clearly in the dark.
But for ordinary people like Wang Dahu and Xu Chuxiang, it is impossible to walk in this long cave without a torch.
Shu Guan was holding a torch in his hand and walking at the front of the team.
These torches were carried by Wang Dahu and others when they went up the mountain two days ago.
Walking behind Shuguan was Wang Dahu, followed by Xu Chuxiang and Han Biao. Han Biao was guarding Xu Chuxiang's side, followed by several other young people from Taoyuan Village, then Mu Yao, and Li Zhixia walked at the end.
"Mazi, if I had known that those glowing beads I just picked out would be no better than this torch!"
Wang Dahu was half a step behind, holding a torch as well, and said regretfully.
Shu Guan also had some regrets.
There are so many luminous pearls, pick one out at random, and when you get outside, you can become a little rich man even if you don't do anything.
Unfortunately, he listened too seriously to the conversation between Li Zhixia and Mu Yao and completely forgot about it.
"Those luminous beads look quite rare. If I take more of them and bring them back to the village, there will be no need to light oil lamps at night in the village."
Wang Dahu smacked his lips and continued.
Promote!
Shu Guan glanced back at him.
Of course, this is because Wang Dahu doesn't know the value of those night-light pearls in the outside world.
However, with these luminous pearls, the people of Taoyuan Village should be able to live a good life even if they go to the outside world.
No, I have to bring Dahu and the others back later in the evening to dig out all those night-bright pearls, not even a single one is left!
Shu Guan thought secretly.
Now he is quite sure that he can leave this isolated valley.
This time, whether it was the eldest lady or the middle-aged Taoist priest who was as powerful as a fairy, he had helped them a lot. When the time comes, no matter which party would agree to take him out of the valley.
After gaining this confidence, Shuguan's structure naturally became larger.
What he wants now is not only to get out by himself, but also to find a way to get all the villagers in Taoyuan Village out!
No matter what, I don't just want to go out and enjoy myself, regardless of whether the people in the village are good or bad.
Originally, it might be very difficult to realize this wish.
But if you have those luminous pearls, the situation is different.
It would be much easier to take a group of Night Pearls out first and exchange them for money in a safe way. After gaining huge wealth, it would be much easier to find a way to take out other villagers in Taoyuan Village.
For example, if we directly buy ten helicopters, and two of them go back and forth every day to pick up people, there are only so many people in the village, and they can all be picked up in a few days.
Walking in the long cave, Shu Guan happily looked forward to the future.
The light of the fire extinguished, illuminating the strange rock patterns on the cave walls along the road.
At a certain moment, Shu Guan suddenly stopped.
He didn't even know why he stopped, but he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because Shu Guan stopped suddenly, Wang Dahu behind him almost bumped into his back.
"Mazi, what's wrong?"
Wang Dahu asked doubtfully.
Shu Guan, however, seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and stood there in a daze.
Why did he suddenly feel something was wrong... Shu Guan thought hard... By the way, something seemed to be missing!
Shu Guan suddenly turned around, walked back a few steps, and stood in front of a certain cave wall.
The cave wall was empty, without the strange patterns around it. It even swayed in space for a while, with nothing there, only some broken stone chips.
But it turns out there is something here!
Shu Guan turned around again and looked at the huge stalactite hanging upside down not far behind to make sure he remembered the place correctly.
"Dahu, do you remember that there was a strange stone here?"
But he still asked Wang Dahu, because this thing was so weird that Shu Guan couldn't believe his memory for a while.
Wang Dahu held up the torch and looked around, then said with confusion in his eyes:
"Yes, isn't there a stone here? It looks like a bird with nine heads..."
Yes, this is where the nine-headed bird fossil was originally located.
I have walked to this cave Shuguan many times, especially in the past few days, I have walked back and forth several times.
Especially every time they come in, whether it is Professor Holt or Li Zhixia, they will stop here for a long time.
After getting Wang Dahu's answer, Shu Guan became more convinced that he remembered correctly.
But the question is, where is the nine-headed bird fossil now?
Did someone else follow them into the cave later?
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Zhixia's questioning voice came from behind.
Because Shu Guan stopped, the whole team naturally stopped as well.
The next moment, Shu Guan's eyes flashed, and Li Zhixia had appeared beside him. Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, he crossed the distance of more than ten meters to the front in one step.
"The nine-headed bird stone here is missing."
Shu Guan immediately said something to Li Zhixia quickly.
Li Zhixia was startled for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the cave wall, and then her expression became extremely solemn.
Then Li Zhixia looked forward and then back.
The flames of the torches were blown by the mountain wind that passed through the cave, and the firelight could only illuminate a few meters around them.
Ahead is darkness.
There is also endless darkness behind.
The swaying firelight reflected Li Zhixia's rigid and serious face, changing from dark to sunny.
Then he said something in a deep voice.
"Leave here immediately."
Before he finished speaking, a scream suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone immediately looked towards the place where the screams came from.
The scream was made by a young man from Taoyuan Village.
"Stone, what's wrong?"
Shu Guan immediately walked to his side.
The young man named Shitou pointed at the bottom of the huge stalactite with a frightened look on his face and said in a trembling voice:
"I just saw a rotting mountain rat there. It seemed that it suddenly stood up and ran away."
As for Shi Shi, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Shu Guan glanced over there, and saw a pool of snow-white stalactite fluid, with no corpses of mountain beasts next to it.
Of course, when he walked over just now, he didn't pay attention to whether there was a body of a mountain beast lying upside down, so he couldn't be sure whether Shitou's words were true or false.
"Stone, you can't be mistaken!"
Wang Dahu shouted.
"I swear, I must have read it correctly. The mountain rat's rotten intestines even flowed out, but it suddenly stood up and ran towards there dragging its intestines."
Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Shitou excitedly pointed to a certain corner and walked over, as if he wanted to find the mountain rat that escaped just now.
"Okay, stop arguing, everyone should leave quickly!"
Shuguan said with a serious face.
Since Li Zhixia said she would leave here immediately, she really had to leave immediately.
Shu Guan now has great faith in the middle-aged Taoist priest.
However, at this moment, the stone walking towards the corner suddenly let out another scream.
This time, everyone could clearly see why he was screaming.
Because there was a strange thing on the cave wall that suddenly jumped out and jumped on the face of the stone.
That's a stone.
If we use the knowledge system of Shu Guan's original world, it is a fossilized animal skeleton.
But it was just a bone fossil of the head of some kind of animal, like a tiger's head or a cow's head. This fossil had existed in this cave for I don't know how many years, and it had been quietly embedded in the cave. on the wall.
But at this moment, the head suddenly came to life, jumped out from the cave wall, jumped onto the face of the young man from Taoyuan Village, and bit it down.
The painful screams resounded throughout the cave.
