Chapter 259 Mysterious Cave, It Can Be Called Huge
He was not in a hurry to return, but continued to explore the cave, looking for several other ginseng fruit plants.
However, due to the vast area of the cave, Li Ang searched for a day and a night, but only found seven or eight ginseng fruits, each weighing five to six hundred catties, which is a huge amount.
"It seems... we can only wait until later."
Li Ang rubbed his sore shoulders and prepared to leave the cave.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Inside the cave, a violent whirlwind suddenly blew up, rolled up a large pile of sand and dust, covered the moonlight, and made the vision blurred. It seemed that something was passing by vaguely.
Li Ang was startled, and when he took a closer look, there were black centipedes as thick as a thumb lying on the rock wall at the top of the cave, twisting their bodies, baring their teeth and claws, rushing towards Li Ang like a tide!
The head of the centipede is taupe, the back is oval, and there are many small transparent holes in which the eyeballs are rolling.
They move quickly and spit out messages quickly. In the blink of an eye, they climbed up Li Ang's legs and climbed up the trouser legs.
"Oh!"
Li Ang was frightened out of his wits and struggled desperately, but he couldn't get rid of it at all, which triggered an even crazier attack from the centipede.
He felt a burning pain in his right arm, and when he looked down, he saw that the wound on his left wrist had festered and festered, and dark green mucus flowed out.
"Mom, I was really bitten!"
Li Ang screamed, quickly pulled out the machete from his waist, and swung the centipede.
The machete cut the iron like mud, cut off the centipede's neck in an instant, and chopped it into several sections.
Li Ang didn't care about disposing of the centipede's corpse, so he left in a hurry, walked through the cave, and ran to the river beach.
"Huh~"
He let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt very grateful in his heart.
"If it weren't for the protection of the defensive force field provided by the system, I would have been completely cold by now."
Li Ang thought to himself: "Fortunately, I noticed this ditch before. I walked half a circle along the river and didn't enter the cave, so I was protected from the poison of the centipede."
In the situation just now, anyone who fell into the cave would be in danger.
Li Ang stood on the shore panting for a while, and suddenly found that the bucket of "ginseng juice" he had just thrown away had disappeared without a trace, including the bowl and basin.
He froze for a moment, and then remembered that the cave was full of miasma, and the sap of the ginseng fruit tree evaporated quickly, leaving only a pool of pitch-black stains, proving that it really existed before.
"Strange, how did it disappear..."
Li Ang frowned and thought, suddenly a flash of inspiration.
He took out the flashlight he had bought from the proprietress, and illuminated the nearby valley.
With the help of the light, he could see clearly that there were many black spots on the surrounding hillsides, like the spots of some kind of plants or insects.
The muscles at the corners of Li Ang's eyes twitched twice, and a strange idea popped up in his mind——
"The cubs of those spiders also have such markings..."
Li Ang restrained his thoughts and decided to visit the cave again later.
The target this time is still the eggs and young of the piranhas.
But for the sake of caution, he first touched the surrounding mountain walls to make sure there was no other exit, then walked carefully to the edge of the cave and threw the barrel into it.
Crash!
The wooden barrel rolled into the hole, splashing mud all over the sky, and quickly calmed down. Obviously, all the piranhas inside had died.
"..."
Li Ang hesitated, turned the bottom of the bucket upwards, and slowly opened it, revealing a bucket full of sticky and foul-smelling blood and feces.
"..."
Li Ang sighed silently, moved the barrel aside, and dragged away the corpse on the ground.
Although the skeleton has been severely decayed, judging from the outline, it should be a woman, about twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance, a tranquil temperament, and a lot of charm.
Li Ang pondered for a moment, and gently wiped the female body with his sleeve to confirm that her body had not been swallowed by piranhas.
"Forget it, you won't survive anyway, so let me do something good for you..."
Li Ang muttered to himself, filled the mineral water bottle with water, and irrigated her again.
Then, he raised his eyes and stared into the depths of the valley.
"The scale of this cave is very large. If there are treasures in it, there must be more than these piranhas. Maybe there are even more powerful monsters..."
Li Ang frowned, and didn't dare to go deeper, instead, he exited the valley, found a hidden corner nearby, and began to dig the rock wall next to the cave entrance.
"Crack, click, click..."
There was a crack in the rock wall, and Li Ang grabbed the shovel and dug hard, and soon pulled out a piece of metal wreckage the size of a palm.
"Is this... is it a fragment of a meteorite?"
Li Ang picked up the shovel and weighed it, and found that the shovel was very heavy.
This piece of broken metal has an uneven surface, as if it was cast from some kind of metal. The material is neither gold nor silver, and the whole body is pitch black.
"This thing should not be simple."
Li Ang stroked the black iron wreckage. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he found that there was a thick layer of rust on the edge of the wreckage, which seemed to be covered with a thin layer of oil film, which tightly wrapped the wreckage and kept it in its original shape.
"Could it be this thing... that caused the ginseng fruit tree to wither?"
Li Ang observed carefully and found that the rust on the edge of the oil film was slightly different from other areas.
Logically speaking, ginseng fruit trees grow in a special environment, with bark as hard as steel and dense branches, which are easily melted by sunlight exposure, so it is impossible to cover them with oil film for a long time.
unless……
"Unless, the texture of this black iron is very sparse, stronger than ordinary copper and iron, even stronger than steel, so that it can withstand the sun's exposure?"
The more Li Ang looked at it, the more it seemed possible. He tried to tap the edge of the wreckage with his fingers, and there was a metallic sound, which made him startled.
"Could it be a metal meteorite?"
Li Ang speculates that this kind of black iron has a special quality and is hard to come by. If you can get a batch back, it must be worth a lot!
"Huh? There's actually a hole here!"
Suddenly, Li Ang noticed that there was a stone door in the dark cave with exquisite totems carved on it.
"Could it be that the secret of this giant cave is hidden behind the stone gate?"
He put down the shovel, poked his head out cautiously, and looked at Shimen.
Outside the stone gate is a not too spacious space, with several faint blue candlesticks hanging on the wall, the light is dim.
Li Ang held his breath, quietly went to the door, turned on the fluorescent light of the mobile phone, and observed carefully.
The stone gate is three meters high. Due to the erosion of history, the surface is rusty, but it can still be clearly distinguished that it is the trace left by human civilization.
Li Ang's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and he reached out to touch the stone door, feeling the cold and hard surface of the stone door.
This stone door is not just an ordinary stone door, it contains extremely strong power fluctuations, as if it was left by a powerful Practitioner.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes, and his heart was full of vigilance.
