Origin

Chapter 221 Tiankeng

Everyone from the three tribes stayed where they were, just watching him go north and not chasing him.

When he arrived at a deserted place, Wu Zhongyuan immediately used Fengxing Technique and moved northeast as fast as possible. The reason why he did not choose to follow Jiang Nan to the Niu Clan before was because he was worried that if he went to the Niu Clan, he would bring trouble to the Niu Clan. To remove the disaster, he now not only poses a threat to Wu Ao, but also poses a serious threat to Lita. If the Niu tribe takes him in, it will be the same as raising a tiger in the eyes of Wu Ao and Litai, and it is very likely that they will join forces to attack Niu. clan.

The reason why Li Tai and Wu Ao agreed to him leaving alone was because they could secretly seek to harm him after he lost the protection of the Niu Clan.

The reason why the Niu Clan agreed to his leaving was because he was a hot potato and staying in the Niu Clan would probably bring disaster to the Niu Clan.

He had no set destination. The reason he changed his route to the northeast was because the Azure Dragon Armor disappeared into the northern sky not long ago. If he ran north, he would be easily found.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped not long after running. He originally wanted to run as far away as possible, but after seeing the miasma-filled sinkhole, he changed his mind temporarily.

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. In fact, many people have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence. The so-called danger is not a place where the other party may find it, but a place where the other party dare not set foot. This sinkhole fits this purpose. First of all, the miasma lingering above the sinkhole is poisonous, and most people will avoid it.

In addition, his identity has now been made public. Everyone knows that he is in danger, and everyone knows that he knows that he is in danger. According to common sense, he will definitely go farther, because the farther he goes, the more likely the enemy will find him. The less likely it is, no one thought that he would be so bold to hide nearby. In fact, this can no longer be described as bold. It should be said that no one thought that he would stay nearby as if seeking death.

Thinking of this, I walked to the edge of the cliff to check the situation of the tiankeng. The tiankeng was irregular in shape, about a hundred paces in diameter. The tiankeng was not vertically downward, but slightly skewed. On the west side of the tiankeng, It is concave, and the east side is convex, but whether it is concave or convex, the amplitude is not large. There are cracks in the stone wall, and you can barely cling to it and move downwards.

After observing, he decided to stay here. In addition to what he had thought of before, there was another reason why he decided to stay here. He was too tired. People are not cars. Even if he has been supplemented with spiritual energy, his body cannot bear it for a long time. of overloaded running.

Before climbing down, Wu Zhongyuan picked up another stone from a distance. He could not pick it up from close as it would be easy for others to find the traces.

Even if you pick it up from a distance, you still have to bury the small hole left after removing the stone. You are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. No one knows how careful the opponent can be.

Don't just throw it down casually.

You have to wipe off the dirt attached to the stone, otherwise the dirt will remain on the stone wall, and your whereabouts may be exposed to careful people.

It is unrealistic to pick up a round stone in a hurry. The shape of the stone he picked up was relatively regular. After letting go of the stone wall, the stone rolled down.

At first there was a relatively coherent sound of impact, and then the sound of the stone hitting the stone wall became more and more rapid. However, this did not mean that it became steeper as it went down, but that the stone was accelerated by gravity as it rolled downward.

The frequency of the impact becomes faster and faster, and the sound of the impact becomes smaller and smaller, until finally the sound disappears completely.

The relative height can be roughly judged based on the duration of the free fall, but there is no formula that can be applied when trying to roll irregular stones. We can only roughly determine two points. First, this sinkhole is very deep, and the depth is definitely within More than 100 meters, which is the height of more than 30 stories. This is an amazing depth.

Second, the shape of this sinkhole is very strange. It goes down diagonally and at the same angle. It is different from all known sinkholes.

Before going down, you have to decide whether you can come back up after going down. Judging from the inclination angle of the stone wall on the east side of the tiankeng, you can still climb up. It is definitely not possible for ordinary people, but if you can do Qinggong, it will be relatively easy to climb up. .

There is a tree growing on the stone wall, surrounded by the miasma. When viewed from a distance before, it didn't seem very big. But this time when viewed from a close distance, it is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It is a pine tree.

In order to avoid knocking off pine needles, I did not cling to the pine tree when descending, but grabbed the cracks in the stone wall and slowly descended.

The thickness of the miasma is about two meters. It is a bit like fog, but thicker than fog. After passing through the miasma, the vision returns to normal.

Turning around and looking down, you can see that there are many trees in the stone crevices below. Most of them are distributed on the north and south sides of the stone wall. They are as thick as an arm and are mostly pine trees. Plants have phototaxis, so these trees are all pointing upward. growing.

Descending more than ten feet, Wu Zhongyuan discovered a natural cave. The cave was located on the north side of the stone wall. It was not big, only four or five square meters, and had an irregular shape. There were still some dead and decaying tree roots on the four walls of the cave.

These intertwined tree roots indicate that a large tree originally grew outside the cave. Wind, sun, and temperature changes caused small gaps to appear in the stone wall. The tree roots stretched toward the inside of the stone wall along these gaps. As time went by, the gaps in the stone wall became larger and larger, and the trees outside became heavier and heavier. Finally, they were overwhelmed and fell to the bottom of the pit, dragging huge rocks wrapped with tree roots.

This is the advantage. Not only can you stand up straight inside, but you can also lie down calmly. There are also a few pine trees above to cover it. Even if someone goes down below the miasma, it will be difficult to find this cave.

The cave was very clean, there wasn't even bird droppings. The temperature in the tiankeng was higher than outside. But the ground was a little uneven and there was nothing to pave the way. But it was already good. I took off my bow and arrows, sat down against the stone wall, and finally You can breathe a sigh of relief.

It was almost dark at this time, and the sinkhole was very quiet. Although Wu Zhongyuan was tired, he was not sleepy. He kept closing his eyes and recalling what happened not long ago.

What happened today not only had an impact on the three tribes, but also had a great impact on himself. Before sorting out the details, he must first weigh the pros and cons.

There were four parties involved in today's matter, and the final result was a profit, a loss, and two losses. The party that gained the most was the Niu Clan. Jiang Zheng's actions made him owe a lot of favors to the Niu Clan, but the Niu Clan itself did not suffer any losses.

The most unlucky one is Li Tai. Not only did he lose the Blue Dragon Armor, but he also turned against him.

The Bear Clan had a draw in what happened today. They found Wu Di but let him go.

He also belongs to a draw. The so-called draw means there are gains and losses. He got the Azure Dragon Armor, but exposed his identity. Obtaining the Azure Dragon Armor is a big gain, but exposing his identity is a big loss. Every moment in the future. You need to watch out for the Birds and Bears looking for harm.

However, there was nothing he could do about exposing his identity. It was not that he did it intentionally, but the development of the situation forced him to reveal his identity.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out, and that was Jiang Zheng's attitude towards him. Before Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Zheng had always wanted to give him to the Bear Clan or the Bird Clan in exchange for reciprocity. After Jiang Nan explained their relationship to him, Jiang Zheng's attitude changed 180 degrees and began to protect him.

Why did Jiang Zheng try to protect him? On the surface, it seems that Jiang Zheng loves his daughter very much and loves his house very much. In addition, he got the Qinglong Armor, which is a rare commodity. Jiang Zheng wants to have a good relationship with him.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is something fishy about this matter. At this time, intermarriage with foreigners is a very shameful thing, especially for the royal family. If a noble of the royal family marries a man from a foreign family, the authority and honor of the royal family will be seriously damaged.

Jiang Zheng must really love Jiang Nan, and Jiang Zheng also vaguely guessed that Jiang Nan and he were not married, but in front of so many people, Jiang Zheng actually said that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. Also calling him a virtuous son-in-law, isn't this a bit much?

What prompted Jiang Zheng to do this? Just thinking that he has a rare commodity does not seem to be quite right. The reason why Jiang Zheng did this must be mixed with some reasons that he had not thought of.

If you want to find out the potential reasons, you must first determine whether Jiang Zheng really wants Jiang Nan to marry him. The answer is yes. Jiang Zheng's previous words clearly meant that he wanted Jiang Nan to marry him and called him "Jiang Zheng." The virtuous son-in-law also wanted to finalize the relationship between the two as soon as possible.

In this case, the question arises, why is Jiang Zheng so anxious to confirm this relationship?

After frowning for a long time, he finally realized that Jiang Zheng had thought more than Wu Ao and Li Tai. He had already guessed that he was the golden dragon who came to the world. That was wrong! It was not a guess, but in fact Jiang Zheng knew it the moment he announced his family name, and the reason why he knew it was because he knew it twenty years ago.

The Bird Clan and the Ox Clan, who were hostile to each other, suddenly joined forces to attack the Bear Clan, and instead of attacking the walled city, they attacked Youxiong directly. It was most likely that they were instructed by someone, knowing that he was the Golden Dragon Linfan, lest he grow up to dominate the world, so they took the lead. He started and wanted to kill him.

This makes sense. Before learning that he and Jiang Nan were friends, Jiang Zheng had no good intentions towards him. Jiang Zheng knew very well that whether he went to the Bird Clan or the Bear Clan, he would be dead. Jiang Zheng wanted to get benefits at the same time. Kill with a borrowed knife.

After Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about their relationship, Jiang Zheng's mentality changed. Since he was on good terms with Jiang Nan, he was Jiang Zheng's son-in-law. No matter how powerful his son-in-law was in the future, he would never be able to kill his father-in-law.

In addition, once you marry Jiang Nan, you will not seek revenge on Jiang Zheng because of Jiang Nan's face. You must know that Jiang Zheng led his troops to attack Youxiong and indirectly killed his father.

"This cunning old thing." Wu Zhongyuan said to himself.

After understanding Jiang Zheng's mentality, he regretted not going to the Niu Clan. This old guy only benefited from it and did not take any risks.

His doubts were gone, and he felt sleepy. He yawned, got up, and walked to the cave to relieve himself and urinate.

Halfway through peeing, he lowered his head and glanced down.

This glance was nothing, he was almost scared to death, there were two big green eyes staring at him under the sinkhole...
