Origin Chapter 221: Tiankeng
All the three clans stayed where they were, just staring at him and heading north, not chasing after him.
When there was no one there, Wu Zhongyuan immediately performed the popular technique and moved to the northeast at the fastest speed. The reason why he did not choose to follow Jiang Nan to the Niu Clan was because he was worried that if he went to the Niu Clan, The Cattle Clan brought disaster. Now he not only poses a threat to Wu Ao, but also poses a serious threat to Li Tai. If the Cattle Clan takes him in, Wu Ao and Li Tai think it is like raising a tiger, and it is very likely Join forces to attack the cattle.
The reason why Li Tai and Wu Ao agreed to leave him alone is because after he lost the protection of the Niu Clan, they could secretly seek harm.
The reason why the Niu Clan agreed with him to leave was also considering that he is a hot potato, and staying in the Niu Clan is likely to bring disaster to the Niu Clan.
He doesn't have a predetermined place to go. The reason why he diverted to the northeast is because the blue dragon armor disappeared in the northern sky not long ago. If he also runs north, it is easy to be found.
Wu Zhongyuan stopped after not running for a long time. He originally wanted to run far away, the farther the better, but after seeing the miasma haunting the sinkhole, he temporarily changed his mind.
It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. In fact, many people have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence. The so-called danger is not a place that the other party may find, but a place that the other party dare not set foot in. This Tiankeng Just meeting this condition, the miasma lingering on the Tiankeng is poisonous, and most people will shy away from it.
In addition, his identity has now been made public. Everyone knows that he is in a dangerous situation, and everyone knows that he knows that his situation is very dangerous. According to common sense, he will definitely go far, because the farther he goes, the enemy The less likely it is to find him, no one thought that he would hide in the vicinity so boldly. In fact, this can no longer be described as bold. It should be said that no one thought that he would stay nearby like a dead man.
Thinking about this, I walked to the edge of the cliff to check the situation of the tiankeng. The tiankeng was irregular in shape, about a hundred steps in a circle. The tiankeng was not vertically downward, but slightly inclined. The west side is concave and the east side is convex, but whether it is concave or convex, the magnitude is not large. There are cracks on the stone wall, which can barely be climbed and moved down.
After observation, he decided to stay here. In addition to what he thought of before, there was another reason why he decided to stay here. He was too tired. Live long overloaded runs.
Before climbing down, Wu Zhongyuan picked up a stone from a distance. He couldn't pick it up from a distance, and it was easy for people to find traces.
Even if you pick it up from a distance, you must bury the small hole left after the stone is taken away. No one is afraid of 10,000, but just in case, no one knows how careful the opponent is.
You can't throw it down casually. You have to wipe off the soil attached to the stone, otherwise the soil will remain on the stone wall, and you may also reveal your whereabouts if you encounter careful people.
It is unrealistic to pick up a round stone in a hurry. The shape of the stone he picked up was relatively regular. After he let go of the stone wall, the stone rolled down.
At first it was a relatively coherent impact, and then the impact of the stone against the stone wall became more and more rapid, but this does not mean that the descending is steeper, but that the rock is accelerated by gravity as it rolls down.
The frequency of the impact is getting faster and faster, and the sound of the impact is getting smaller and smaller, until finally the sound disappears completely.
According to the duration of free fall, the relative height can be roughly judged, but there is no formula to apply if you try to roll with irregular stones, only two points can be roughly determined. First, this tiankeng is very deep. The depth is definitely more than 100 meters, and 100 meters is the height of a thirty-story building. This is an amazing depth.
Second, the shape of this tiankeng is very strange, it is inclined downward, and it has always been inclined downward at the same angle, which is different from all known tiankeng shapes.
Before going down, there is a question that must be determined, that is, whether it can come up after going down. According to the inclination of the stone wall on the east side of the Tiankeng, it is still possible to climb up. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to do it, but if he can do it lightly, he will still be able to climb up. relatively calm.
There is a tree growing on the stone wall, which is surrounded by miasma. I saw it from a distance before, and it didn't feel very big. This time, I looked at it from a close distance and it was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It was a pine tree.
I would have knocked off the pine needles, so I didn't cling to the pine tree when I descended.
The thickness of the miasma is about two meters. It looks like fog, but it is thicker than fog. After passing through the miasma, the line of sight returns to normal.
Turn your head and look down, you can see that there are many trees in the stone crevices below, most of them are distributed on the north and south sides of the stone wall, the thick ones are about a bag thick, mostly pine trees, and the plants have phototaxis, so these trees are all is growing upwards.
Going down a dozen feet, Wu Zhongyuan discovered a natural cave. The cave is located on the north side of the stone wall. It is not big, only four or five square meters, and the shape is irregular. root.
These intricately coiled tree roots indicate that there was originally a large tree growing outside the cave. Wind, sun and temperature differences caused small gaps in the stone wall, and the tree roots went along these gaps to the inside of the stone wall. As time goes by, the gaps in the stone walls are getting bigger and bigger, and the trees outside are getting heavier and heavier, and finally overwhelmed, dragging the huge stones wrapped by tree roots into the bottom of the pit.
This is an advantage. Not only can you stand up straight from the inside, you can lie down calmly, and there are several pine trees above it, which makes it difficult to find this cave even if someone descends below the miasma.
The cave is very clean, there is no bird droppings, the temperature in the tiankeng is also higher than outside, but the ground is a little uneven, and there is nothing to pave the way, but this is already good, take off the bow and arrow, sit against the stone wall Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It was getting dark at this time, and the tiankeng was very quiet. Although Wu Zhongyuan was tired, he was not sleepy. He kept his eyes closed and recalled what happened not long ago.
What happened today not only has an impact on the three clans, but also has a great impact on him. Before arranging the details, we must first weigh the pros and cons.
There are four parties involved in today's affairs, and the final result is one profit, one loss and two draws. The one who makes the most profit is the Niu Clan. Jiang Zheng's actions make him owe the Niu Clan a lot of favor, and the Niu Clan itself has nothing to do with it. loss.
The most unfortunate one is Li Tai, who not only lost the blue dragon armor, but also had a bad relationship with him.
In today's incident, the Bear Clan had a draw, they found Wu Di, but let him go.
He also belongs to a draw. The so-called draw means that there are gains and losses. He got the blue dragon armor, but exposed his identity. Getting the blue dragon armor is a big gain, and exposing his identity is a big loss. Every moment needs to be wary of birds and bears looking for harm.
However, there is no way to reveal his identity. It is not that he did it intentionally, but the development of things forced him to reveal his identity.
But there was one thing he couldn't understand, and that was Jiang Zheng's attitude towards him. Before Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Zheng always wanted to give him to the Bear Clan or the Bird Clan. In exchange for the corresponding benefits, after Jiang Nan explained the relationship between the two to him, Jiang Zheng's attitude changed 180 degrees and began to protect him.
Why does Jiang Zheng try to protect him? On the surface, it seems that Jiang is eager to love his daughter, love the house and Wu, plus he has obtained the blue dragon armor, which is a rare commodity, Jiang Zheng wants to have a good relationship with him.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many strange things about this matter. At this time, it is a very shameful thing to marry a foreigner, especially the royal family. If the nobleman of the royal family marries a man of a foreign family, the authority and honor of the royal family will be serious. damaged.
Jiang Zheng must really love Jiang Nan, and Jiang Zheng also vaguely guessed that Jiang Nan and he are not married, but in front of so many people, Jiang Zheng actually said what to marry a chicken and marry a dog Suigou, and calling him a virtuous son-in-law, is this a bit too much?
What prompted Jiang Zheng to do this? Just thinking that he is a rare commodity does not seem to be equal. The reason why Jiang Zheng did this must be mixed with reasons that he never thought of.
If you want to find out the potential reason, you must first determine whether Jiang Zheng really wants Jiang Nan to marry him. The answer is yes. Jiang Zheng's previous words obviously want Jiang Nan to marry him. Calling him a virtuous son-in-law is also to establish the relationship between the two as soon as possible.
As a result, the question arises. Why is Jiang Zheng eager to determine this relationship?
Frowning for a long time, he finally realized that Jiang Zheng thought more than Wu Ao and Li Tai, and had already guessed that he was the golden dragon, right! It wasn't a guess, but Jiang Zheng knew it the moment he reported himself, and the reason why he knew it was because he knew it twenty years ago.
The bird clan and the ox clan that were hostile to each other suddenly joined forces to attack the bear clan, and instead of attacking Yuancheng, they directly attacked the bear. It is very likely that he was instructed and knew that he was Jinlong Linfan, lest he would rule the world when he grew up , then preemptively attacked him, wanting to kill him.
This makes sense. Before he learned that he and Jiang Nan had a good relationship, Jiang Zheng didn't have any good intentions for him. Jiang Zheng knew very well that whether he went to the bird clan or the bear clan would be a dead end. Jiang was exactly what he wanted Benefit while borrowing a knife to kill.
After Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Zheng's mentality changed. Since he is on good terms with Jiang Nan, he is Jiang Zheng's son-in-law. Went out.
In addition, once you marry Jiang Nan, you will not seek revenge against Jiang Zheng because of Jiang Nan's face in the future. You must know that Jiang Zhengnian led an army to attack You Xiong, and indirectly killed his father .
"This cunning old thing." Wu Zhongyuan muttered to himself.
Finding Jiang Zheng's state of mind, he regretted not going to the Niu Clan. This old thing has benefited from it, and he didn't take any risks.
The doubts were gone, the sleepiness surged up, and after yawning, I got up and walked to the cave to release my hands and urinate.
I was halfway through urinating and glanced down.
It doesn't matter at this glance, almost scared to death, there are two big green eyes staring at him under the tiankeng...
