Chapter 1748 Choose one at random
There must be more than just Yang Yiyi and her friends in this area of Erlang Mountain. Not to mention the group of unidentified guys who came in earlier, the bandits are also looking for a way to get in.
Just by listening to the voice, it is impossible to tell the identity of the outsiders. The leader Qin Yan motioned everyone to wait near the cave entrance, and she tiptoed over.
The entrance of this cave was covered by a stone, leaving only a crack that could barely allow people to pass sideways.
Qin Yan went out for a few seconds, then came back and said:
"It's the group of bandits last night."
Damn, they really came in.
"It's hard for them to see where we are now, but I saw them move the gunpowder barrel over there. If they really force the mountain to be blown up, we are not safe now."
Anyway, everyone is now in a secret passage, and the safest and most reliable way is to wait here until the bandits leave by themselves.
After all, there are many bandits, and it is better not to fight if you can, because the treasure has not been collected yet.
But if the gunpowder barrel explodes, the stability of the cave will be a problem.
"Go up the mountain after you go out. The bandits are at the bottom of the mountain and should not be able to see you."
Hearing what Li Chengxi said, everyone nodded and then got out of the cave.
The exit of the cave is relatively narrow, and people have to turn sideways to pass through. The fox spirit and the capybara spirit can't get through at all.
Yang Yiyi and Ning Xian'er had to hold the big stone at the entrance of the cave and move it to a larger gap, and then cover the stone back as it was.
When you come out of the cave, you will find yourself on the mountain wall. If you look down, you can see the circular martial arts field before. About 70 to 80 meters to your left and below you is the cave you walked through when you came in.
Now there is a large group of bandits gathered there, roughly counting hundreds of them, and they are shouting to get on the gunpowder barrel.
These bandits are fast. Logically, even if they have a way to come in through the pass of Erlang Mountain, they should not be able to find the Boyun Cave.
Yang Yiyi and the others found it with the help of the land god.
But don't forget, before entering this area, there were many forks in the cave, and no one said there was only one entrance.
This group of bandits forced their way to the gunpowder barrel, probably because they encountered the door that could only be opened with the headmaster's iron ring. Even Yang Yiyi and Ning Xian'er couldn't open the red lacquer copper nail door with brute force, so the bandits really had to try with the gunpowder barrel.
I just don't know how wonderful the expressions on their faces were when they finally opened it after great efforts and found that it was empty...
The bandits were just one of the forces that came to rob the treasure. I don't know how many there are. It's best to avoid them if you can, and make a fortune in silence.
So everyone followed Li Chengxi's instructions and ran up the mountain along the mountain wall after coming out.
Due to the angle, it was difficult for people at the bottom of the mountain to see the situation above when looking up, and Yang Yiyi and the others didn't even need to look, they could tell where the bandits were by the noise, and just stayed away from them as much as possible.
Li Chengxi asked the fox spirit to cast an illusion that could interfere with vision. To put it bluntly, it was similar to mosaic camouflage, which destroyed the outline of the human body. From a distance, it was impossible to see that there were three people and two monsters climbing on the mountain wall.
Even though everyone was fast, it was really difficult to move on the mountain wall. It took almost an hour to finally get away from the bandits. During this time, we could hear the loud noise of gunpowder barrels exploding and the sound of earth and rocks collapsing from time to time.
The bandits were really rough at work. Could these guys blow up the mountain?
We walked all the way to the edge of the valley and finally found a slightly flatter place where everyone could use the force to jump down.
Forget about jumping up. The higher mountain wall was simply cut out by a knife, straight up and down, and there was no place to use the force.
Now everyone is on the west side of the valley. On the east side is the ruins of the sect, and a large group of bandits are gathered there.
The west side should have been farmland or orchards, but it has been abandoned for a long time now. The original appearance can only be judged by the remaining ditches.
"The probability of running into other people next will be very high. Either we return to the original route and sneak out of Erlang Mountain while no one is watching, or we return to Boyun Cave and take the fork to see where the other forks lead to."
Yang Yiyi said immediately:
"The treasure mentioned by Eagle Father has not been found yet, so we can't leave."
"I think so too."
Li Chengxi was just too bothered. Anyway, Ning Xian'er was there to scout the battle, so it would not be difficult to kill his way out no matter how many people there were.
–--——---——
This valley, similar to Taoyuan Valley, is not big. Standing at the entrance of Boyun Cave, you can even see the ends of both sides at a glance.
Except for an abandoned sect, there is nothing worth noting.
Everyone returned to Boyun Cave by the original route and soon returned to the fork.
Many forks lead to the abandoned sect, which shows that the sect is indeed important, but the most delicious things in it have been taken away. Now we just have to choose a fork to see if it can lead to other places.
Apart from the fork road that Yang Yiyi and her friends took when they came, there was one road with a lot of footprints, which was obviously taken by the bandits when they came.
I'm not sure if they got the treasure in Erlang Mountain, but at least the fork road taken by the bandits is obviously not a good choice.
There are five or six forks left, and there is really no way to judge, so we can only pick one and go in.
The Boyun Cave itself is also halfway up the mountain. Everyone chose a fork road to go in. Not long after walking, they felt that the height was getting lower and lower, as if they were walking on a slope.
I feel that this fork road should not be long, and we should be able to reach the exit soon.
As a result, they walked for almost an hour and didn't see any sign of an exit.
According to the rate of descent, after walking for such a long time, let alone returning to the ground from the middle of the mountain, they should have reached the underground. Who knows how deep this fork is.
This triggered Yang Yiyi's PTSD. She fell into the underground for a week in Leishanzang, and since then Yang Yiyi has had a psychological shadow.
Usually, it's okay to drill into a cave, but I'm afraid of this kind of deep place where I don't know how deep it is. I have to reach into my arms to grab the jade scepter to replenish my courage while walking.
Others also think that this cave is a bit too deep. The main reason is that everyone is not familiar with the geological structure here. If you drill into such a deep cave casually, who knows if your feet will suddenly collapse and fall into the bottomless abyss.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in cave exploration.
When everyone was a little anxious and wondering whether they should turn back and choose a new fork, a breeze finally appeared in front of them.
This made everyone feel refreshed and quickened their pace.
After walking for a cup of tea, light finally appeared in front of them.
It stands to reason that there should be no sunlight in such a deep place, but after walking in the dark cave for too long, everyone urgently needs to return to the open area.
After passing through the cave entrance, the long period of darkness made the eyes a little uncomfortable due to the strong light stimulation, and everyone covered their eyes with their hands.
When the eyes adjusted to the strong light, they saw that outside the cave was a large sea of lush flowers...
