Chapter 250: Snake Ghost Town · Silent Valley

Looking up, it turns out that the signal smoke in the distance has become thinner. I do n’t know what happened there, or whether the smoke ball is not enough. Look like this, this smoke will inevitably persist until we arrive.
In the jungle, if there is no signal smoke guidance, we will definitely not be able to reach that place without navigation. We asked Pan Zi what is the solution? Pan Zi climbed the canopy, using the position of the signal smoke as the central axis, and marked the north arrow with the strange rock on the cliff edge of the far basin as a reference. If you walk between the key points, you must be able to pass the burning point of the signal smoke. However, this jungle is dense, and it is possible to miss even if the error is ten meters, so we have to get as close as possible before the smoke goes out.
This can no longer be delayed, we immediately rectified the equipment, and from Panzi, we pointed the north arrow, wading into the swamp and heading in the direction of the signal smoke.
It is very easy to pass the water on the edge of the swamp during the day, because the water level of the swamp where the rain converges is high and clear, we can go forward to find the stones on the bottom of the water, and swim without the footing. In the past, came to the true edge of the swamp.
It is a relatively sparse rainforest zone. The terrain is obviously high. Many connected "trees" protrude from the water surface, like some huge islands. You can see a lot of muddy rocks mixed with the mud under this area. Here, it seems that the water level is not deep.
But when you walk in, you will find that the trees are very dense in this area. After only about two hundred meters, the canopy is dense enough to steal the sky. The roots of the trees are intertwined. I actually had an idea before, that is, to make a canoe, so that I do n’t have to be so cautiously wading forward, but when I look at this underwater environment, I know that canoes are also difficult to move here The non-man must not leave by himself.
Going deep into the forest, the light is very dim, and soon all around are scary tree roots, and the roots are covered with vines, and the vines are covered with green moss, the moisture is pressing, the kind of circumvention is overwhelming, large In some places, we all crawled down to barely pass. It made people feel that they entered a huge tree-covered cave.
Panzi cut the blocking vines, because almost all the trees have a lot of roots connected to the vines, so we almost do n’t need to go wading, and it is very stable to walk overhead on the vines with thick thighs.
However, what makes us strange is that in such a dense forest, it is surprisingly quiet. In addition to the sound of our progress, we can't hear any other movements, and the quietness is a bit uncomfortable.
"Queen of the West Queen's site is really evil," said the fat man as he walked: "Did his mother even have a bird call?"
"What's more, he doesn't seem to have anything here?" I said in my heart that the quietness was not normal, which gave me the illusion that we might be the only creatures in this rain forest except these trees.
"Maybe there are too many snakes here, and all the birds are eaten up," Pan Zidao said.
"Impossible, what do these snakes eat now?"
Thinking about the kind of snake, several people were nervous for a while, but came all the way, but did not see any trace of the snake, which surprised us a bit.
Tensioning the nerves and moving on, we soon saw some ancient architectural remains wrapped in trees and protruding from the water. Because the age is too long, these broken walls have become stones of different shapes, a lot of vines and moss. Rooted in the gaps of these buildings, and then wrapped around the whole body, mixed in the rain forest is difficult to distinguish, only to be found before.
These buildings must have belonged to the top part of the building at that time, so they can still protrude from the water surface, because you can't see the underwater part, and don't know the overall shape, but looking at the top, they are all simple towers. There are many in number, high and low, different sizes, and it looks like the kind of Tallinn where the monk is buried.
I have n’t seen the remains of Queen West along the way, but now I finally saw it, but I was relieved. Before that I had a suspicion that we should not go wrong. Already covered. "Going in later to find that there is nothing in that joke.
We did n’t have time to stop and look at these ruins, and we quickly dived into them. However, although we did n’t want to study subjectively, the route of the journey was meandering. When I got around these ruins, I found out that these ruins have gone through thousands of years. However, it is extremely solid and very strong, and it is strange that all these "towers" have many square holes, which were obviously polished when they were built at the time.
Fang Kong said big or small, small or not, people are probably passable, but things smaller than people are not a problem.
The fat man looked strange. When passing by, he subconsciously looked inwards with a miner's lamp. However, he could not see anything, only heard the sound of water below. I don't know where it is going.
Pan Zi didn't have time to take care of this, so he hurried to go. The fat man knew that the anxious person was anxious, so he had to look at it and followed.
The absolute area of ​​this valley is not large. As you go inward, the silt under the water decreases significantly. The remains of various ancient monuments under the water are exposed, very clear, forming a very strange but spectacular scene, the depth of the water It's only about two or three meters. The countless broken walls and the prosperous roots of the water are mixed together. It makes me feel like there is only a thin layer of water.
It wasn't until then that I felt like I was in an ancient city. Looking at these remnants, I could imagine the prosperity here, but when the time passed by, even the city of the goddess finally turned into dust and earth.
With emotion, suddenly the speed of the water flow under the foot changed, and there seemed to be a steep downward in front. Let's be careful, there are too many trees here, and slipping and stepping on the sky is a serious injury.
After a few more steps around a big tree, the fat man exclaimed. We saw a huge strange face suddenly appearing in the jungle on the left front, less than ten meters away from us, the size of a truck head, face The green spots are colorful, the eyes are high, and the nose is exactly the same as the human face strange bird grotto we saw at the mouth of the canyon. It was a huge stone sculpture wrapped in moss and liana.
The fat man turned on the miner's lamp to illuminate the past. The body part of the stone sculpture sank into the swamp, leaving only his head, which was integrated with the jungle. The bird's body in the water showed a very strange squatting posture, as if it was about to spread its wings suddenly. It was like a cat before the attack. You can also see that there are some dark shadows in the water below the stone carving, I don't know what sinks.
We looked at each other, remembering the previous idea, if the human face bird statue outside the canyon is telling the outsider that he has entered the territory of the Western Queen Motherland, then there is a huge human face bird stone sculpture, what does it represent? Is this a more serious warning.
I subconsciously looked at the sea of ​​trees after the statue, and said that I would not be in the area behind the stone carving. There is a huge danger waiting for us uninvited guests.
