Chapter 260 There is still one
Yun Huizhou used his inner strength to flip the scale back and forth a few times, and finally confirmed: "It looks a bit like the scales of the monster in the lake, but I feel that the scales of that monster should be smaller."
Having said this, he suddenly paused and looked at Lian Li.
Lian Li was also looking at him at this time, his eyes slightly widened, and he said the rest of his words: "Could there be another one?"
Yun Huizhou said with a serious expression: "If there is another one, it will only be bigger and more powerful than that one."
He took a deep breath and said, "I can still handle this one in the water, but if there is another stronger one, I may not be able to handle it in the water."
"But..." Lian Li pointed at the ground: "Although there are not many scales on the ground, they are scattered. The other one should come ashore frequently. It seems a bit troublesome."
Yun Huizhou tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped up the scales and put them away, then looked forward: "Let's keep moving forward."
Neither of them gave up exploring these passages just because they found the scales. If there was another monster like this in this underground space, they would encounter it sooner or later.
And looking at the transparent lotus that was becoming redder and redder, Lian Li guessed that the treasure would be born soon.
Usually, there are strange beasts guarding the treasures, which is a common plot in novels.
Even if they don't encounter another more powerful monster now, when the treasure comes out, if they want to seize the treasure, they can't avoid that monster.
Continuing to go deeper, Lian Li found that the scattered scales were much denser than before.
He also felt that Yun Huizhou was more vigilant than before.
The monster they had fought before was at a level that Lian Li could deal with on the shore, and the other one was probably at least at a level that only Yun Huizhou could deal with on the shore.
Anyway, you definitely can't fight them in the water.
The passage was longer than they had imagined, and they walked in it for quarter of an hour.
Moreover, the further they walked, the more they could feel the wind blowing from time to time.
Lian Li was certain that there must be another exit at the end of the passage.
Their speed was not slow, about the same speed as their usual walking speed on Zuimeng Island.
Lian Li estimated that they walked about two kilometers before they got out of the passage.
Because of a ray of light, Yun Huizhou and Lian Li's originally tense nerves relaxed a little. Yun Huizhou gave the bag on his body to Lian Li, then walked out of the passage first with a knife in hand.
Outside the passage is another not-so-small space, with uneven stone walls on all sides. There are no signs of human activity, and there is no other way to go. This passage ends at the end, but there is still a hole inside.
It's just that compared to the underground lake before, this place is brighter, and the glowing plants on the stone walls are gradually dying near the entrance of the passage.
It seems to be a plant that cannot stand the light.
Yun Huizhou raised his head and looked diagonally upwards, and found that the light was coming from there.
After Lian Li Jianyun returned to the boat, he did not make any other movements. He just looked around and then took a step forward and walked out.
As soon as he came out, he also saw the place where the light came in from diagonally above.
"Is that the exit?" Lian Li said uncertainly.
Yun Huizhou replied: "That should be it. It's much bigger than I thought."
Lian Li stared at the direction of the cave entrance for a long time, and then said: "The location of the cave entrance here is lower than the location of the passage found in the lake on the ground."
He discovered it when he was swimming in the passage in the lake. They had been swimming diagonally downward. After reaching the underground lake, they were unable to carefully explore the situation in the underground lake because there was a monster in the lake.
But generally speaking, underground lakes are not stagnant water.
Otherwise, the water in the above-ground lake will flow downwards along the channel, and the water in the underground lake will have nowhere to flow to, so won't the water level continue to rise?
During the entire process of walking through this underground passage, Lian Li did not feel that they were going upwards. The distance between the cave entrance they saw now and the ground they were standing on was not as far as when they dived into the lake above the ground before.
"Do you think this cave looks like a nest?" Yun Huizhou suddenly said.
After hearing what he said, Lian Li also began to look at the cave and found that there were a lot of things piled up in one corner of the cave. He walked over and saw that there were more scales in this corner and there were also many traces of crawling nearby.
He also saw a lot of messy bird feathers in this cave. He pulled Yun Huizhou's sleeve and said, "Look there."
When Yun Huizhou saw the bird feathers, he subconsciously said, "This monster has not only scales but also feathers? It can go into the water and fly in the sky?"
Lian Li walked over, squatted down, took a closer look, and said, "It shouldn't be. I couldn't recognize what animal the scales were from before, but these feathers look like sand grouse. And even if we only consider the size of the monster in the water, these feathers are too small. These should have been eaten by the monster."
That monster had no legs and crawled on its belly like a snake. Maybe it ate food in the same way as a snake, swallowing the whole thing, digesting even the bones, and then spitting out the hair and other things.
But if you eat sandgrouse, it's like eating small meat snacks the size of a thumb.
After Lian Li guessed this in his mind, he prepared to stand up and move away from here. After all, it was something that the monster vomited out of its stomach, and he felt a little disgusted.
Just as he stood up and was about to look somewhere else, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something black out of the corner of his eye.
He looked closely and found that it was actually a clump of hair.
"Yun Huizhou, look there." He pointed at the ball of hair and called Yun Huizhou.
Yun Huizhou walked over, picked up a dead branch on the ground, picked up the hair, and said, "It's human hair."
Lian Li: "It should be eaten by the monster and then spit out. This should be the nest of the big monster. It seems that this big one is not as dependent on water as the one in the water."
He walked to the other side of the monster's nest and prepared to squat down again to take a closer look.
Then he thought that even if he squatted down, he would not dare to use his hands to dig it out, so he took out the whip and used it to gently dig at the edge of the monster's nest.
Yun Huizhou threw the ball of hair and the sand chicken feathers together, and then followed Lian Li again.
Lian Li's whip is soft, but his knife is hard.
It is more convenient to use a scabbard knife to dig out this monster's nest than a whip.
The sound of the scabbard hitting the scales on the edge of the socket sounded much harder than the sound when it hit the monster before.
