In the large hole at the end of the platform, Ye Qiong, Qing Zhi and the tribal warriors behind him stood at the entrance of the large hole under the starry light of dusk.
It seems like some kind of ritual is going on...
The pale yellow star light stretches the figures of the people very long. If you look up from below, you can only see a diagonally upward mountain. The large cave and the people have disappeared.
As the star's light continued to fall, when it fell under the mountains of the Xufeng Mountains, the west side of the Dinglong Mountains gradually became dark.
Clouds gradually rose and surrounded the mountains.
After standing in front of the big hole for more than ten minutes, Ye Qiong remained silent and just looked at the big hole discovered by Qing Zhi.
His thoughts were racing. In these ten minutes, Ye Qiong thought of too many things and too many possibilities.
As the visibility continued to decrease, the darkness inside the large hole gradually spread towards the entrance area.
"Spread out and take a look..."
finally……
After more than ten minutes of silence, Ye Qiong said without looking back.
Hua Huangji and the soldiers around him immediately understood, and walked towards the left, right and diagonally rear in pairs.
The ground is still covered with dry vines and hard yellow balls.
Ye Qiong was not in a hurry to drill directly into the big hole. Instead, he led Qing Zhi to the edge of the big hole on the right side, intending to see what the traces left on the wall over there were.
When Hua Huangji and several other soldiers walked to the platform, they saw some mist condensing under their feet.
These fogs, if you look up from below, are clouds.
What no one realized was that in just a short time, as the starlight fell, fog had condensed on the platform, and the visibility immediately began to drop rapidly. Originally, you could see directly down the mountain from the platform.
As the fog gradually condenses, the visibility has dropped to a few kilometers, and this visibility is still declining rapidly. I believe it will not be long before it drops to hundreds or even tens of meters.
When the visibility drops below a hundred meters, it means one thing, that is, the Gale Golden Eagle cannot fly normally.
Hua Huangji immediately called Ye Qiong over. This matter was quite important.
It depends on whether they are camping in the wild tonight or whether they are rushing back to the base of the waterfall.
At the speed of the Gale Golden Eagle, if we were to head back now and fly a little faster, we would still be able to reach the base of the waterfall before dark.
If we don't leave now, it will be much more dangerous if we wait for the fog to condense and night to fall, and then we try to rush to the base of the waterfall.
When Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi arrived at the edge of the platform together, the fog became thicker and the visibility had dropped to within one kilometer...
Ye Qiong looked at the mist gathering under the platform and couldn't help but frown. Then he turned his head and looked at the big hole with sharp eyes.
"gather!"
Following Ye Qiong's order, the soldiers who dispersed on both sides immediately trotted towards the big hole.
When Ye Qiong came over, he was already standing in a straight line.
"Count!"
"one two three four……"
Although there are not many people at the moment, sometimes a sense of ritual is still necessary. When he saw this big hole, Ye Qiong knew that a bottleneck period of the tribe seemed to be broken with the emergence of this big hole. .
After confirming that everyone was present, Ye Qiong immediately issued a new order: "Check the supplies and equipment, go in and take a look!"
Spring has begun, and every day is precious now. Although Ye Qiong is almost certain that this large hole and platform are man-made, it is still necessary to go in and take a look.
If we don't go in today, we might be delayed by something again after returning to the waterfall base.
So cut the mess quickly!
Ye Qiong gave himself no time or chance to hesitate before issuing new orders to the soldiers.
Hua Huangji and the soldiers immediately responded loudly, and then began to check the supplies and weapons and equipment on their bodies.
Qing Zhi also looked presentable and checked the supplies and equipment he carried.
After everyone had finished checking, the team immediately dispersed. The four warriors took out fire sticks and portable torches. After lighting them, they dispersed on the left and right sides and walked into the big hole...
The large empty cave was finally no longer silent as Ye Qiong and the soldiers entered.
The team did not go directly from the middle, but gradually walked towards the right wall.
Ye Qiong still wanted to see what those marks on the wall were.
The two warriors at the back of the team had already taken down the long bows from their backs, and placed the arrows on the bow strings, ready to deal with any emergencies.
At the same time, Qing Zhi, who had been following Ye Qiong, took down the long bow.
Although Qing Zhi usually looks pretty naughty and can't stop talking, this girl is the type who can talk all day long alone when she's with the forest apes.
Now Xinka and the others are more or less able to understand some human languages, and Qing Zhi is indispensable. Qing Lie and Qing Zhi are two extremes. The old man cannot even speak two sentences after eight poles. That kind of thing.
As for Qing Zhi's words, she was either talking about some things or muttering about the world scenes in her mind. She was never bored.
However, when Qing Zhi became serious, she immediately seemed like a different person. Her eyes were focused and she was releasing a strange concentration. Her momentum instantly changed from a lazy state to a powerful fighting state.
Only then can this girl's mouth be silent for a while.
Ye Qiong's hand is not empty at this moment. He has stuffed the large iron arrow in front into the quiver on his back. What Ye Qiong is holding now is a bone crystal long knife, which can be used at any time. Throw it as a javelin, and within twenty meters, Ye Qiong has strong confidence in the bone crystal sword he threw.
Everyone walked to the right wall. The sky outside had completely darkened. Without the light, the visibility inside the cave was only about ten meters.
If you go further inside, it will be an absolutely dark environment where you can't see your fingers.
The pale yellow flame swayed gently, and the light shone on the wall, making the dark-brown marks turn slightly yellow.
Walking to the wall on the right, Ye Qiong picked up the long bone crystal knife and rubbed it gently against the gray-brown marks on the wall...
"Cluck...cluck..."
The blade of the bone crystal knife immediately made a harsh friction sound with the gray-brown marks on the wall.
This sound reached everyone's ears and spread deeper into the cave.
