Chapter 277 Cave

In the narrow passage, Feng Yi turned into a mimic and continued to crawl forward with difficulty.

The good thing is that the cave is not always so narrow.

There are just a few places that are particularly narrow, and there is a narrow opening every once in a while.

It's like a series of checkpoints.

After passing a narrow checkpoint, the cave will be slightly wider, enough for two or three Feng Yi's original forms to walk side by side.

If there is a choice, Feng Yi does not want to physically destroy this place.

If it is not directly stuck and it is not to the point where it is difficult to move forward, he will not use violence.

Therefore, even if he encounters a narrow opening and the difficulty of moving forward increases, Feng Yi did not use brute force to expand the diameter of the cave.

It seems that no one has walked here for a long time.

It shouldn't be.

Could it be that the elders in the past have never been here?

My aunt has not been here either?

Feng Yi thought, crawling forward, while feeling the breath in the cave.

The underground water flow brought the smell of living and non-living things, but there was no sign of any long-term existence of any living things in the cave.

It can be said that it was dead silent.

Feng Yi thought carefully. There were no aquatic animals or plants in the area at the entrance of this passage, as if all creatures deliberately avoided this area.

Inside the cave, the surface stone of the cave wall was slightly different from the inner layer.

Perhaps because of this, it was able to protect this place from much change for thousands of years, without obvious erosion, and without invasion and occupation by foreign creatures.

Feng Yi himself could not feel any danger, but he guessed that the surface stone of the cave might contain some "expel" information.

"On the way back, take some samples and bring them back for Xiao Wu to analyze." Feng Yi thought to himself.

This passage is very long, but it is not a straight line, nor does it lead to the top, but it meanders downward, deeper underground.

Long-term underwater diving, the water temperature is also low. For ordinary people, if there are no adequate protection measures and emergency equipment, it is impossible to explore further.

Therefore, even if someone has discovered this place, it is extremely difficult to continue to check inside.

The cave is completely dark, which does not cause any interference to Feng Yi. He can sense the situation inside the cave.

Swim for a while, climb through a checkpoint, swim for another while, and pass another checkpoint...

Finally, I came out of the not-so-spacious stone cave and faced a larger underwater space.

This should also be inside the mountain, surrounded by stone walls, but the space is larger.

If my instinct is right, there should be a...

Feng Yi did not rush to explore the surroundings, but swam upwards.

Splash--

Feng Yi emerged from the water and breathed in fresh air

It was still dark around, completely dark.

But the air here carried the smell of the forest outside the mountain.

Obviously, there are hidden ventilation holes here, and there are more than one.

The cave wall above is also a long distance away from the water surface, so even if there is some unexpected flooding, there is still room for breathing here.

Originally, Feng Yi was thinking that if there was no breathing space inside, he would retreat the same way.

His ability to sneak underwater is enough to ensure that he can return safely. Go out to take a breath, bring breathing equipment and come back. He can sneak underwater for a long time with one breath.

But now it seems that there is no need to return.

When you want to breathe, just float up.

This is indeed a very safe place, with no foreign creatures to disturb you.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It may not be the place where our ancestors lived, but perhaps just a shelter?

But Feng Yi didn't understand why they made the entrance so narrow?

Could it be that, a long time ago, our ancestors were not actually very tall?

Miniature?

Feng Yi thought of some primitive models of about one meter in height in the museum.

Carefully sense the situation around him.

This place is like a spacious underground tunnel, and the narrow passage that Feng Yi came in is connected to it.

Continue forward, not far away, Feng Yi saw another passage with a larger diameter on the side wall of the cave.

Compared with the narrow passage that he struggled to crawl into, the one in front of him is like a widened and raised double-opening door.

Walking in and taking a closer look, you can see that there are some claw marks on the cave wall, left in recent decades.

Grabbed by my aunt?

Feng Yi checked a section inside from this side "gate", and even the narrowest position inside would not get stuck at all!

It was just as he thought.

My aunt must have been here, more than once.

So, my aunt came in from this "gate"? !

What was the passage I came in from? A dog hole?

Feng Yi swam back and looked at the passage he came in from.

After comparing, he couldn't help but pat his forehead.

Instinct...

Is there a possibility that you are looking for the passage for cubs? ! !

Feng Yi reflected.

What exactly was the criterion for instinct to find this passage for cubs?

Sure enough, instinct can be trusted, but not completely.

Now is not the time to tangle with this, Feng Yi threw it aside.

Anyway, at least I did find the place.

Although the "door" I came in from was not very suitable.

After swimming around in this spacious underwater cave, Feng Yi found that there was more than one entrance, some large and some small, but generally speaking, there were more large passages.

The layout here is like a centipede, with a long and spacious main body and ventilation space on the upper layer.

The "limbs" of the "centipede" are large and small passages leading to the outside.

Like the narrow passage that came in, the stone on the surface of the main stone wall is like a protective shell, preventing the attachment of aquatic plants and animals, as well as the invasion of microorganisms and corrosive substances.

The water here is flowing with the outside. Even if the flow rate is not fast, it also shows that the water here is alive, and there is no strong smell of decay and decay.

It is precisely because of the flow that there is a layer of sediment at the bottom of the cave.

If you walk close to the bottom underwater, it will cause local turbidity. It's choking enough.

Therefore, Feng Yi swims in the middle layer underwater.

Use the original form.

There is enough space, Feng Yi prefers to use the original form here.

Continue forward from the "centipede"-shaped passage to the "head".

This is like a deep pool with no visible bottom, but Feng Yi did not explore down, but swam vertically at this position.

Huh——

He emerged from the water, stretched out his hand to brush the wet hair back, and swung his tail to the side.

Here is a cave located inside the mountain.

Unnatural formation.

No smell of dissolution.

Thousands of years have passed, but not much has changed.

This is a "nest".

It is where our ancestors lived.

Except for the water in the deep pool, the rest of the cave is drier and has hidden ventilation holes.

If ordinary people were here, they could survive, but they would not feel comfortable.

With the pool of water, the air humidity is a little higher.

The humidity is too high for ordinary people, but it is just right for Feng Yi.

The heavy tail crawled in the cave, and the scales rubbed against the ground, making a hissing sound.

There were gravels on the ground, and I don't know if they were broken off by my aunt or left by my predecessors a long time ago.

Feng Yi picked up a fist-sized stone, threw it into the air, and then grabbed the tip of the tail and whipped it like hitting a baseball.

Bang!

The stone was knocked out, hit the cave wall in front, and fell to the ground again.

The stone is slightly harder, so I took it back for research.

Feeling the slight vibration of the ground, Feng Yi took a circle in the cave.

I didn't find a direct passage to the outside. I don't know if there was no passage originally or it was blocked later.

In the cave, even if a hundred people gathered here, it would not seem crowded.

Suitable for refuge, gathering, and hibernation.

Or maybe it is a special place for molting?

After all, the movement when molting is a bit loud, and we must prevent external interference. This place is very good.

However, the physique of the ancestors should not be too weak, right?

Feng Yi yawned, coiled up his tail, and lay on his tail.

It took too much effort to find this place. I am a little tired, so I will take a nap first.

I wonder if the ancestors will come to me in my dreams when I sleep here?

I want to update 6,000 words a day, but my body is not strong enough...

Take your time.

See you tomorrow.

(There are still nine days left in June. Guess how many words I can write)
