Chapter 997: Entering the cave
Xu Cheng was left at the top of the waterfall, looking down along with the current. Since he was already here, it wouldn’t be his style if he didn’t go in and take a look. But how was he going to get down? He didn’t have a cable wire that could slowly drag him down the water. If they didn’t use the equipment, it was even more impossible to go down. “I’m going all out. ” Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and had his own thoughts. He went down the mountain. After making a huge detour, he arrived at the lowest point of the waterfall. He raised his head and looked at the waterfall above him. Before he even got close, his clothes were already drenched. The sound of the water was so majestic that no one dared to get close, for fear of being washed away by the torrent. Xu Cheng looked for a place to climb up the cliff in the middle of the waterfall, and he already had an idea. First, he came to the cliff on the other side of the cliff in the middle of the waterfall. From the other side, he could see the entire waterfall flowing down. He carried his camping equipment backpack. He first activated his clairvoyance and went through the waterfall to find the exact location of the cave. The poisonous blood cells gnawed at his whole body, and he felt as if he was burning. He fell to the ground and twitched. He activated his x-ray vision and looked at the waterfall on the other side. Finally, he found the cave that Xu banxian had mentioned! After that, he retracted his genetic ability, and the blood poison cells went back into hiding. Xu Cheng laid on the ground like a dog. This kind of pain was worse than death, but it also gave him an estimate of the pain when the blood poison acted up. He felt like he could hold on for four to five minutes! Thinking about it, it was no different from having a cancer attack. It was really a kind of pain that made him want to die. Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and got up with sweat all over his forehead. He quickly remembered the exact location of the cave and then took a deep breath. This time, he was going to use his genetic ability again! He could use leaf ant, Grasshopper, cat, ultrasonic wave, and x-ray vision at the same time. He squatted down and positioned himself with both hands. His eyes were fixed on the hole in the middle of the waterfall on the other side. Then, he fully unleashed his genetic ability and blood cells. However, Xu Cheng’s endurance was very strong, and at this moment, blood began to drip from all the pores of his body. Xu Cheng roared and suddenly started running. He suddenly rushed out from the edge of the cliff and rushed towards the waterfall 200 meters away. The leaf ant’s explosive 20000-pound strength, coupled with the cat jump and Grasshopper’s elasticity, sent him flying like a cannonball. In the air, Xu Cheng let out a blood-curdling scream. Because the blood poison and other elements were all invading his body, there was a moment when he almost stopped breathing and fell from the sky. However, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the waterfall. He aimed at the cave and used just the right amount of force to penetrate the waterfall’s resistance. Then, he rolled to the entrance of the cave inside the waterfall. His whole body was hit by the cliffs all around, and the pain made him faint. All his abilities were terminated, and the blood poison gradually faded. When Xu Cheng woke up, his whole body was wet, and the water made his bleeding pores burn. He was almost awakened by this pain, and his hands subconsciously touched the cave around him. There was a huge waterfall roaring outside. Xu Cheng sat up straight and looked around at the cave. The structure was all natural, but it was no wonder. In the past, there was no technology to dig holes in the cliff. It was very dark inside. Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was night time, it would probably be dark. Normally, Xu Cheng could use the night vision of the owl to move around in this kind of dark environment as if no one was there. But now, he couldn ‘t, so he could only slowly explore. The light from the outside went smoothly, but it was a little dark inside. When Xu Cheng was about to go in, he tripped over something. He touched it with his hand, and there was a cloth, a bone wrapped in the cloth! A dead man! And it was someone who had been dead for a long time! Xu Cheng’s meticulous thinking told him that things probably weren’t that simple! Perhaps there was a mechanism? But he had to say, someone had been here before? This time, he was more careful. After tearing off the clothes from the dead bodies, he took out a lighter from his bag and lit the rags. Then, he collected all the rags left by the bones and used them to keep the fire burning. The entrance of the cave was huge, and it became bigger and bigger as they got deeper into the cave. Xu Cheng encountered his first problem, and that was a thick stone door. And there was a pile of bones at the door. “There’s definitely a trap here!” Xu Cheng squatted down and looked at the bones. There were also a few arrows stuck in their ribs, and the arrowheads were already rusted and black. “It’s poisonous. ” After Xu Cheng analyzed the situation, he looked around. He gently walked to the front of the stone door and tried to push it, but there was no possibility of it loosening. Xu Cheng suddenly used the leaf ant ability, pushed it with both hands, and immediately retracted the ability. But there was still no possibility of this stone gate loosening. “Where is the mechanism?” He pondered in puzzlement. Hence, he carried the fire Stick and touched the surrounding walls to find the mechanism. In the end, he couldn’t find it after a long time. “Could it be that it’s been sealed off forever after someone entered?” Xu Cheng thought to himself in confusion. Then, he arrived at the stone door. “It’s impossible that there aren’t any traps. ” Xu Cheng stood in place, hesitating. Finally, he looked down and saw the White bones. He knelt down and pried open the bones. There was a thick layer of dust. He climbed away and blew on it, and a few dents appeared. Messy footprints! “Could this be the mechanism?” Xu Cheng squatted down, not in a hurry to touch or step on it. This was because he could tell that these people must have stepped on or touched it before triggering the trap and dying on the spot, turning into white bones to cover up the trap footprints. Xu Cheng looked down at these messy footprints. They seemed to have no pattern, but there must be something mysterious about them. “It’s much harder than guessing numbers on squares or other numbers. ” Xu Cheng was a little confused. Could it be that the person who designed this mechanism was illiterate and could only use such a heavy mechanism to design? But the design was too hard to guess. First of all, there were nine footprints on it. “There must be a strict requirement for each footprint. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many dead people here!” Xu Cheng thought, if I step on the wrong step, I’ll trigger the mechanism, right? I’m really speechless at the designer. What did he design it based on? there’s no hint at all. Do I have to go out and ask Xu banxian?” When Xu Cheng thought about how painful it was when he came in, he felt a little scared. “We can only try this.” Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and tried to guess the next footprint. At the same time, he activated his turtle shell genetic ability as a test. As a result, he stepped into it. As expected, small pores that were hard to catch appeared on the walls on both sides, and a dense rain of arrows burst out from them. Fortunately, Xu Cheng activated his tortoiseshell, and after blocking this wave, he immediately retreated into the distance. He rolled on the ground because the blood poison was acting up! “This is even more painful than being shot by an arrow!” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
