Vol 2 Chapter 60: Mutation

Shen Shi's brows were slightly raised, and his gaze immediately fell on the big rocks that looked ordinary and unremarkable. . . At least in his opinion at the moment, these randomly scattered and stacked stones under the corners of the stone walls have nothing special. On the contrary, they are very compatible with the surrounding environment of this strange and secluded underground cave. It is dark and gloomy, even in the dark. A layer of shallow and wet moss grew on the stone surface.
Naturally, the moss on this stone is completely different from the corpse moss on the corpse king. It seems that it is just a common moss that grows in damp and damp places. Shen Shi squatted down in front of these stones and looked carefully for a while. In fact, I was a little bit muttered in my heart, thinking that although the peculiar smell and smell here became thinner for some reason after the death of the corpse king, the smell is still very strong, and I don’t know what Xiao Hei’s nose is made of. In this environment, I find the breath of waiting for my family.
There are five or six stones in different sizes, but they are almost half a person tall, and piled in a mess in the corner. At first, Shen Shi would naturally not notice such a remote corner, but at this time he got Xiaohei's. Remind that after carefully observing for a while, I gradually saw some unusual clues.
He glanced over the stones, looked at the rough stone surfaces, and the wet moss in the shadows, then suddenly raised his head and looked around. The ground nearby was dry and flat, except for the weird red river in mid-air. There is no more water in this underground cave.
But that red river is at least tens of feet away from this corner. Shenshi stood here for a long time and didn’t feel any special moisture. So how did the strange moist moss grow on these rocks? Come out?
He fell silent, as if thinking about something. After a while, his gaze returned to the stones again, and then he stretched out the palm of his right hand and placed it carefully on the stone in front of him.
At the tentacles, a touch of coolness came back from his skin, and the moist and abundant water quickly stained his palms from the slightly thorny moss. It was cold and cold, not a very comfortable feeling. But other than that, these moss are nothing more unusual.
Shen Shi's complexion remained unchanged, but his face was solemn, and he gently touched the surface of this big rock. The surface of the rock was uneven, which originally seemed a bit rough, but because of the growth of these moist moss, it changed instead. It's a lot softer.
However, after Shen Shi had been touching the front, side and even the back of the stone, he found nothing. It seemed that the big stone was just an ordinary stone discarded in this corner.
The hanging Red River was still flowing quietly, and the weird red light shining on the underground cave, making Shen Shi's face gradually become a little weird in the dark red light. Xiao Hei, who was standing next to him, suddenly raised his head and glanced at him. He seemed to be a little uneasy and groaned.
Shen Shi looked back at it, and said calmly: "Wait a second, if we can't find anything here, let's go back."
Xiao Hei bowed his head and screamed twice, kneeling on the ground, then silently watching Shen Shi re-stretched his hand, and began to examine the second mossy stone.
After a while, Shen Shi's palm lifted up with some cold water stains, and he didn't find anything either.
Shen Shi's brows slowly frowned, and he glanced across his head at Xiao Hei who was lying on the side, wondering if the smell here is too heavy, and Xiao Hei's nose is malfunctioning, or is it confused? But thinking about the magic of Xiao Hei's search for spirit grass in the past, Shen Shi shook his head, thinking that it was just a few stones, he really couldn't find anything, just exited the cave as just said, just like the half box in the bag is rare. His third-grade spiritual material "corpse moss" was already enough to make up for the cost of coming to Gaoling Mountain this time.
At the heart of his heart, his hands did not stop, and he continued to explore the next stone. This stone seemed to be the largest of the few stones in this corner, and the highest point almost reached the chest of Shenshi. However, the stone body is a bit slender and looks a bit like a gourd with a wide bottom and a flat top.
After touching it for a while, it still looks like nothing. Shen Shi also sighed in his heart, thinking about how he touched the stone like this. If an outsider sees it, nine out of ten will feel stupid. Yes, but Xiao Hei just pointed here just now, there are no other hints, there seems to be no better way except this stupid way.
At this moment, he felt it, his arm stretched out to the back of the rock, and the backlit place was of course shrouded in a shadow. The moss there seemed to be more lush, and the moisture became more abundant. It seemed to touch it casually. Can bring cold water slowly with a palm of your hand.
Only a moment later, Shen Shi's body suddenly shook, and his face changed a little, as if he had felt something. He leaned forward slightly, but stretched his arms for a few minutes, and then carefully fumbled behind the stone. .
On the ground next to him, Xiao Hei, who was already a little drowsy for some time, was suddenly startled. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Shi. The ears of the two originally drooping piglets also stood up.
Under the damp moss, Shen Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, but in the cold moisture, he felt that his palm seemed to touch a completely different depression from before.
It was a very hidden place covered by moss. It sank about two inches deep on the rock surface. Shen Shi slowly moved his palms and fingers, proofreading it gently and carefully, and then quickly discovered that it seemed It was a pit that was completely similar to the palm of the human race.
Simply put, there is a palm print deep in the moss on the back of this stone.
※※※
A palm print, is there any special meaning in it?
Is it some mysterious mechanism in this weird underground cave? Or is it purely a natural trace of the boulder itself? Xiao Hei didn't look for other places, but just found the breath of Hou's family here. Isn't it said that this palm print is perhaps the key to tracking the Hou family?
The Hou family is said to have a shortcut secret path in the tomb of the birth, which leads directly to the treasure, then this palm print is the key to finding that shortcut secret path?
At that moment, when Shen Shi put the palm of his right hand in the recessed place and finally confirmed that it was a palm print, he passed these thoughts in his mind, and in the next moment, almost subconsciously, he took a bit of temptation. It meant that he pressed it hard, trying to see if it was the location of the organ and if it changed.
Then, the change happened immediately.
A low "rumbling" sound, like wind and thunder rolling, and a low roar like a monster, echoed in this underground cave. Shen Shi and Xiao Hei suddenly raised their heads, looking around with a bit of surprise, but For a while, I couldn't figure out where the sound came from. I just felt that the underground cave, which was still in a gloomy and secluded area not long ago, suddenly fell into a roar, full of strange sounds.
And the mutation started in this strange sound. First, the red light emitted suddenly dimmed. Shen Shi realized something in an instant, turned his head and looked at the weird red river, only to see that the light above the red river was fading out. Uncertain, but the original smooth speed of the Yin Hong river suddenly became fierce, and it didn't take long before this weird void red river twisted in mid-air.
It was an extremely weird and indescribable picture. A red river floating in mid-air was twisted and moved like a twist, and along with the vision of the red river, the ground of this cave began to slow down. Shaking and shaking.
The shaking grew stronger and stronger, and even the corpse mountain formed by the monk's corpse not far away collapsed. Shen Shi's face changed drastically. He called the little black pig and ran to the road. However, after only a few steps, he stopped in amazement, looking at the cave corridor that he came over in disbelief. The passage of the green light had disappeared at this moment.
On the way back, it was so strange that he disappeared before his eyes, replaced by a rock wall almost identical to the surrounding rock wall, as if there had never been a cave passage there, and some were just cold and hard rock walls.
The vibration under the feet became more and more intense. With the thunderous roar, the sinking stone was even a little hard to stand firmly. The stones on the top of the cave fell one after another, seeming to collapse at any time to bury it all.
Is it to be buried alive in this blind underground cave? Shen Shi thought blankly, looking at the weird red river flowing faster and faster in the sky, as if it were a large crimson water snake, convulsing and twisting in pain, changing into various twisted gestures.
Suddenly, the red river shook suddenly, from a distorted state to a sudden stiff, an unprecedented and abundant water flow burst out from the depths of the darkness in an instant, and Shen Shi was shocked to lose his color, because The direction that the river washed down was exactly the corner where he and the little black pig stood.
"boom!"
Like thunder, like a raging wave, the water rushed down, almost at the same time, like the sky and the ground. Shen Shi only felt that he was empty under his feet, and the original solid ground was suddenly cracked at this moment, opening a big crack. Out of a big hole, under the unstoppable Yinhong River, Shenshi and Little Black Pig had almost no resistance at all, they were washed directly down the dark and huge deep hole on the ground by a huge amount of water, and in a blink of an eye Disappear.
I don't know how long it took, the indeterminate red light slowly calmed down, the roar gradually dissipated, the cave on the ground gradually closed, and the ground was tightly condensed into a piece of ground, and it seemed that there was no trace at all.
In the middle of the sky, the red river seemed to have dried up for a while because of the water flowing out just now, and it disappeared slowly. The cave gradually sank into darkness, with only a little residual red light still emitting a faint light.
And at the passage that Shen Shi entered just now, there is still a cold and hard rock wall. It seems that there has never been any road there, but it is very strange that it is just two feet away from the entrance of the original passage. On a stone wall, I don't know when another passageway entrance was opened. It looked exactly the same as before, and even the faint green light diffused in that passageway was vaguely visible.
Everything seemed to calm down again.
After a while, suddenly a sound of footsteps sounded from the passage, and not long after, a group of monks walked into this dark underground cave from the newly opened passage, and a group of fire lights lit up. Someone in the crowd lit a torch, and as the fire shining brightly, they quickly saw a mess on the ground and the corpses lying all over the collapsed mountain of corpses.
Suddenly, a cry of exclamation rang from the mouths of these strange monks. By the light of the fire, many people could be seen showing a bit of fear on their faces, but soon, many people discovered that the other side of the cave led to a deeper The dark passage at the place.
Someone took the first step, and the people behind quickly followed, perhaps because of the courage of the people, or for other reasons. Finally, no one chose to retreat. All the monks walked in with eager hope. In that dark passage.
In the process, no one has carefully inspected the caves here, and naturally no one will find that there are some large rocks that have been dumped in the corners of a certain mountain wall.
The secluded cave was silent again. When the group of people passed by, a red glow suddenly flashed in the air, a faint red light reappeared, and the red river water returned from the dark depths at the top of the cave. Outflow, just suspended in the air like that weird, even turned a corner, and started flowing again quietly and quietly.
