Mystery Leaks

Chapter 428
This walk is more than two hours.

Although my traveling speed is not fast, but after a long time of accumulation, it is far enough.

We slowly became numb from curiosity, there were too many bones, and all of them were bones of powerful giant beasts.

My spirit has been tense, and the consumption of two hours has gradually made me tired.

Just when Hu Lai asked me if I wanted to rest, a different scene finally appeared in front of me.

A mountain, a mountain like an arch bridge, stands on the distant skyline, full of verdant greenery, in stark contrast to the scorched earth here.

"Boundary?" Huang Mao was puzzled.

"It's not marginal, it's like an oasis." Hu Lai said.

Without further ado, I immediately cheered up and headed over there.

The closer you get, the more you realize that this arched mountain is actually an oasis in the scorched earth, and the tall trees on it can be seen from a long distance.

Slowly approaching, at the beginning, there were only sporadic weeds on the ground, and then gradually increased, and some shrubs appeared. When approaching the main peak of the arch bridge, the tall trees were straight and towering, and the canopy was like an umbrella, full of vitality. .

What surprised us even more was that there was no murderous intention inside, and it was a safe place.

"I'll go, isn't this another hallucination?" Cao Nan couldn't believe it after experimenting, and there was no murderous intent in it.

Not only him, but we were also surprised.

The Mythical Little Hell has been deceived miserably before. It is obviously a ghost, but in our eyes, it is a fairyland. It was almost sacrificed, and Xiong Da even ate a dead body.Encountering this kind of "oasis" like a fairyland again, we all have psychological shadows.

"Go in and have a look, be careful." Huang Mao said.

We nodded and walked in cautiously.

At this time, we found that although the place is full of vitality, there are no animals, not even mosquitoes, but it is not the kind of deathly silence, which really makes people feel confused.

"What kind of mountain can grow into the shape of an arch bridge?" I asked suspiciously. The core of this oasis is the arch bridge-shaped mountain, which is lush and green and can be seen from a long distance.

The bottom is suspended in the air, and it is a hundred feet high from the ground, which is very strange.

"Cave? Weathered rock?" Cao Nan tried to explain, but he started to shake his head after speaking, otherwise he thought this way.

We headed towards Arch Bridge Mountain, and it became more and more difficult as we walked, because the vegetation was so dense that there was no way to pass, so we had to cut while walking.

This walk lasted another two or three hours. At this time, the sky was already dark, and it was another night under the demon abyss.

When we walked to the foot of Arch Bridge Mountain, we had to stop.

Because there is no way at all, there are cliffs on both sides, and a huge and strong "arch bridge" in the middle, which is covered with tall trees.

I can't figure it out, this "arch bridge" has a span of [-] meters. If it is made of mud, it is impossible to form such an arch bridge, because the strength of the mud is not strong enough to support it, and it will definitely collapse.

The only possibility can only be the cave rock formation, the rock below has been impacted, leaving only a suspended "arch bridge".

But the question also arises, if it is a rock, how can the trees on it be so dense?
The entire oasis has the densest trees growing on the arch bridge. Even the underside of the "arch bridge" is covered with plants of various colors, completely enveloping it, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

The rock is so fertile, more fertile than the soil?
No such reason!
I asked the question, and everyone looked at each other, unable to explain why.

"You have to go up to find out."

Huang Mao said, paused and said: "But the question is, do we need to go up, or continue through the oasis?"

"The point is, there is no way to go up." Qi Donghai looked at the cliffs on both sides, frowning deeply.

"Why don't you rest for one night and leave here, there are many strange places in the Falling Demon Abyss, there is no need to waste too much time and energy." Someone persuaded.

"Yes, finding the way out is the most important thing." Soon someone echoed.

"..."

These are the five or six people who walked with us all the way. They have no desire to explore the secrets, they just want to leave this demon abyss quickly.

Huang Mao then looked at me and asked, "What do you think, if you want to go up, it's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome."

"Forget it, let's rest." I pondered for a moment and shook my head. Although those people's words had their own calculations, they were not unreasonable.

The "arch bridge" was difficult to climb, it was too strenuous, and secondly, they were right, there were too many magical places and scenes under the Falling Demon Abyss, and it was impossible for me to explore every one of them.The third is that I am also tired, with a high level of mental tension and sharpness, which consumes a lot of energy.

After making a decision, those people cheered and immediately started camping.

They were very aware of their subordinate status, and took the initiative to cut down trees and weeds, cleared a relatively large open space, picked up many branches, and lit a bonfire.

Moyuan is full of dangers. This place looks quiet, but no one can guarantee that it will be safe. The bonfire can not only illuminate, but also scare away some things that are afraid of light and heat. It is the best choice for camping.

Everyone sat around the bonfire and shared some dry food and drinks. Huangmao began to arrange night watch and take turns sleeping at night to prevent accidents.

The danger here seems to be smaller, Huangmao simply divided into five groups, and the five of us were matched with other people separately. After all, there are strangers around, so we must guard against them, and we cannot all sleep.

Xiong Da and I were in a group and arranged to be on duty in the second half of the night.So we fell asleep first, and waited until we were woken up in the middle of the night before we cheered up and were on duty.

Xiong Da was bored, so he was tinkering with the big stone mill.

I thought it was a bit funny, and I thought that you can just carry a plaque and a merit box, even if you need both, I can barely understand it, but this big stone mill is too exaggerated, it is completely exhausting. .

"What's the use of this stone mill?" I couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Hu Lai once said a very classic saying: Don't despise and laugh at anyone's abnormal behavior, because you feel abnormal because you don't understand the inside story, if you follow his train of thought, you will be like him.

In the end, Xiong Dao said: "My grandma likes tofu. This big stone grinder is heavy enough. The bean flour produced must be very fine, so tofu is delicious."

"..."

I was speechless for a while, grinding tofu?
Just because you love tofu, why don't you take a big stone mill and carry it home?The most important thing is that the Falling Demon Abyss is so dangerous, the slightest difference in speed is the difference between life and death, such a heavy grind is completely cumbersome.

This... is too filial, right?

Involuntarily, I became curious about Xiong Da's origin. He mentioned his grandma many times. This must not be an ordinary old lady.

Moreover, this guy has brute strength, which is impossible for ordinary people to possess.

After thinking about it, I asked, "Xiong Da, where is your home?"

"My family?" Xiong Da raised his head, grinned, and said, "My family is in western Sichuan."

I nodded, my accent was correct, so I went a step further and said, "Isn't your grandma very powerful? I think your dragon-finding ruler is extraordinary."

"That must be done." Xiong Da's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "My grandma is respected everywhere, and everyone likes her."

"Understand."

I smiled and nodded, and continued: "Then what is your grandma's name, and how did you get all your strength?"

The strength of this guy is definitely the most powerful one I have ever seen. One punch is enough to knock a cow into the air. The stone mill is as heavy as iron, but he followed us for so long with his back on his back.

Not only the strength is strong, but also the endurance is amazing.

But in the end, Xiong Da shook his head and said in a low voice, "Then I can't say it. My grandma told me that I can't mention her to anyone, and I can't talk about myself."

I:"……"

Well, although the honest man is easy to talk, but if he admits to death, it will be very difficult to talk.

Afterwards, I asked several questions on the sidelines, but Xiong Da kept his mouth shut, and told me very sincerely that his grandma forbade him to speak.

For a while, I felt like a thief, with a hollow heart.

At this time, Xiong Da started to fiddle with the merit box again. There was a lot of stuff in it, but it was locked and couldn't be opened.

I suddenly became curious again. The merit box is used to donate things. It is up to the individual to donate as much or not. It is normal for the merit box in the temple to have things.Xin said that he took a fancy to this merit box and carried it so far, so maybe he just took a fancy to the donations in it?

Having said that, the donations of the ancients are really valuable.

Xiong Da fiddled twice, took out the dragon-seeking ruler, and began to pick the lock.

But this lock is not made of ordinary copper and iron at first glance, it is neither gold nor jade, Xiong Da blushed and failed to pry it open.

I thought about it, took out a wire, and asked, "Would you like me to try it?"

"Okay." Xiong Da directly pushed the merit box to me.

I took it and turned on the flashlight to observe the lock cylinder. I couldn't help being overjoyed. Although the material of this thing is extraordinary, the safety of the lock cylinder is not flattering at all. It is not as good as the cheapest lock outside, because it only costs two I can even imagine what that key looks like.

Without further ado, I rolled the wire, inserted it into the lock cylinder, and twisted it lightly, and the lock opened without any technical content.

The lockpicking technique was taught by Huangmao when he was bored. The principle is very simple, that is, the marbles are in a straight line, and the iron wire or a few slender needles are sharp tools for picking the lock.People who don't understand think it's difficult and deep, and people who understand it think it has no technical content at all.

Xiong Da definitely didn't understand, his eyes were wide open, he gave me a thumbs up and said: "Brother Leizi, you are really amazing!"

I smiled, corrected it, and said, "My name is Meng Lei, not Lei Zi."

He called me Lei Zi all the way, which made me feel a little bit annoyed. I thought that there would be no intersection with him, but it turned out that I still had some fate with him.Especially when he jumped up to attack the big demon bird, it made me feel a majestic power, and even a little blood boiling.

"Your name is Meng?"

As a result, Xiong Da was taken aback when he heard it, and his eyes widened again.

I was puzzled and said, "Yes, my surname is Meng."

"My grandma asked me to come out this time to find someone with the surname Meng, but your surname is also Meng?" Xiong Da asked.

"That's right, my surname is Meng." I nodded speechlessly. Among hundreds of surnames, Meng is not uncommon.

Xiong Da stroked his chin and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask but was not sure.

Seeing that he wanted to ask, but hesitated, I was a little curious, but I was not in a hurry, so I took out a sip of water.

Sure enough, Xiong Da quickly asked: "Since your surname is also Meng, do you know someone named Meng Yanji?"

I was suddenly struck by lightning.

Meng Yanji, isn't that the name of grandpa?
Xiong Da, who met on this expedition, actually wanted to find his grandfather?
I wondered for a while, is this a coincidence?

Or some kind of arrangement in the dark, it's too amazing.

Swallowing, I nodded and said, "I know Meng Yanji, what are you looking for?"

Xiong Da scratched his head and said, "He is my grandfather."

"Pfft...cough...cough..."

I spit out half of my saliva and started to cough violently.

Xiong Da actually said that Meng Yanji was his grandfather? !
God, what's going on here?
I was going crazy, my grandpa, why did he become Xiong Da's grandpa?

Could it be that grandpa is still young outside?

"You...don't talk nonsense!" I jumped up from the ground in shock, this matter was too big, it made my head spin.
