After circling around a few bends, the distant Ling Yun finally saw the place Little Qian talked about. There was water running around, and it did look like a cave.
Upon closer inspection, instead of calling it a cave, it was more appropriate to call it a water cave because the stream was flowing out of the cave.
This hole wasn't even the height of a person. One had to bend over to enter it. Carrying a overhead light, Ling Yun walked in.
Only after Ling Yun entered did he discover that the path inside was twisted and turned, the sizes varied, and the width gradually increased by thirty meters after walking for a distance of thirty meters. Until the space at the back, it wouldn't be a problem for five or six people to pass through at the same time.
After walking for another few dozen meters, the hole slowly became narrower. Not even a hundred steps was larger than when he had first entered, and the stream had also become much smaller. From time to time, there would be a shallow bank as Ling Yun became more spirited.
There were definitely no people like that in this place, but with so many poisonous bugs, he had no problems, it would be troublesome if he were to bite Yang Wenwei.
"Little Qian, does this cave fit the requirements to stay?" Despite his personality, when Ling Yun walked over, he could not help but be suspicious when he saw the bend in the road get smaller, and asked in his mind. Because if he continued with this situation, he would have nowhere to go before fifty steps.
"Brother Ling, you can continue walking. The good show is yet to come." Little Qian only replied and did not speak anymore.
Due to his trust in Little Qian, Ling Yun had no choice but to continue forward.
However, Ling Yun's estimation was not wrong. After walking for another few tens of steps, the road in front of them seemed to have already been broken, and there was only a small hole that could barely fit a person. The current also stopped at a large rock.
After entering and confirming that there was no other way out, he put Yang Wenwei down. It was only at this time that Ling Yun realized that Yang Wenwei had unknowingly fainted. It was no wonder she was quiet the entire time.
"Little Qian, is this it? It can't be. This is the end. " Seeing that, Ling Yun became worried, but how could Little Qian be such an unreliable person?
"No no, Brother Ling, you just need to press your hand against the hole and use your inner force to shake it." Little Qian said.
"Alright," Ling Yun nodded his head and pressed his palm against the hole as Little Qian said. With a spew of his Qi, the hole immediately caved in, and after a while, the hole was twice its original size.
So it was like this. The hole had been eroded by the water for many years, but with just a little force, it could not withstand the collapsing and became a bigger hole.
The cave entrance had become much larger now, barely allowing the two of them to pass through, Ling Yun carried Yang Wenwei and entered the cave.
After entering the cave, Ling Yun discovered that the cave's space could let a person stand upright. Beneath his feet was a stream, and the more he walked, the wider the space felt. Ling Yun carried Yang Wenwei and stepped on the slippery ground, walking towards the direction of the light.
He walked in the direction of the light. After about a hundred steps, he came to a bend. After going around the bend, it became very wide.
This was a standard cave. It was like a room at the end of a tunnel. This cave was the room at the end of the tunnel. Although it was not big and was only about ten square meters in area, it could not be any better to hide in.
However, if it was just a cave, there would be no light in the darkness. The source of light was coming from the other side of the cave. Putting Yang Wenwei down, Ling Yun walked over.
After walking over, Ling Yun realised that there was a much smaller cave, with a small pond inside. It seemed like the source of the stream and the light was reflected from the lake, with some roots protruding out.
Subconsciously, Ling Yun raised his head and looked over. As expected, he saw that there was another mysterious matter on the side of the pool.
Above Ling Yun's head, the old tree's roots were intertwined and its thick roots covered almost the entire ceiling of the cave, and light was seeping out from the few gaps in the old tree roots.
Seeing that there was the biggest gap among them, Ling Yun used a flying cloud ladder and used another Young Sparrow Hawk to flip through that gap. Looking at the scene outside, Ling Yun couldn't help but exclaim at the ingenuity of nature.
Once he was outside, the first thing that entered Ling Yun's eyes was a scene of enlightenment. An open area, ah, it should not be called an open area of the cliff face, in the shape of a fan, with a circumference of nearly a thousand feet. The edge of the cliff was covered with weeds, and from time to time, there would also be protruding rocks of uneven heights. And the location where Ling Yun came out from was originally two or three trees that were not very large huddled together. It could be considered as the lowest point of the entire cliff.
The weeds at the edge of the cliff were thicker than the inside, and after crossing it was the cliff. Ling Yun swept away the weeds and observed them for a while. This cliff also felt like it was halfway up the mountain. There was still a certain height above the cliff, at least five or six hundred feet high. From time to time, large and small rocks of all sizes would appear. There were several other mountains nearby that seemed to be taller than this one.
Ling Yun gave it a try and discovered that most of the rocks were sturdy, and the weaker ones were all cleaned up by him, just in case one day he suddenly falls and hurt them, he would have to stay here for a period of time.
It was now Golden Autumn, and there were a few Mountain Fruit Trees on the cliff surface. Ling Yun picked a few wild fruits, carried some dried weeds with him and followed the same path as before. It had probably been a while since Yang Wenwei woke up.
Just as Ling Yun had expected, he immediately realized that Yang Wenwei had woken up with a light moan.
"I'm awake. What do you think?" Ling Yun came down from atop, and in a few steps, he was in front of Yang Wenwei.
"Where is this place?" Yang Wenwei did not directly answer Ling Yun, but asked instead.
"A safe place. Come, I'll take you up." Ling Yun glanced at Yang Wenwei and was about to reach out to hug him.
"No need, I can walk by myself." Yang Wenwei rejected Ling Yun and stood up.
"Okay," Ling Yun's eyes congealed, and then he nodded and took the lead. Yang Wenwei also followed along.
After coming up, Ling Yun saw Yang Wenwei choosing a nearby limestone platform and sat down in a daze, not bothering her, but taking out his blade to act as a sickle, slowly clearing away the weeds around him.
"Hmm? "Is that weird?" While Ling Yun was cleaning the weeds and rocks, he discovered a valley in one area. At the end of the valley, there was a clear spring, and near the entrance of the valley, there were even two or three mountain peach trees.
He picked a few peaches and cleaned up the weeds around the spring to restore the original appearance of the spring. Lingyun realized it was a small pond about ten square meters with a depth of one meter. Judging from its appearance, it did not look much different from what he had seen before. It was just that it seemed a little pointy.
"Hmm? Or is it wrong? " Ling Yun's gaze swept across the nearby walls and discovered a few cracks. A small hole appeared in the wall that could allow a person to pass through with a single punch, and there was even some light at the end of the hole.
Without hesitation, Ling Yun dove in. In a short few dozens of steps, he reached the end of the road, which made Ling Yun at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. It turned out to be near the cold pond under the old tree trunk.
This cave had been here for too long, so Ling Yun couldn't tell if it was man-made or not.
Shaking his head, Ling Yun brought along the wild fruits and pecans he picked earlier and returned back to the cliff surface.
"Here," When he arrived in front of Yang Wenwei, Ling Yun discovered that there were two streaks of tears on his face, but he didn't think too much about it. He thought that Yang Wenwei was just thinking about that horse, so he gave Yang Wenwei a few fruits.
Yang Wenwei took the fruit, and silently gnawed on it while tears unconsciously flowed out.
Ling Yun also did not pay attention to this, but continued to eat while thinking: This place is pretty safe, it's just that we are short on supplies, and need to find a time as soon as possible to purchase some resources.
After chewing on the fruit, Ling Yun stood up and walked towards the old tree.
"Where are you going?" Yang Wenwei shouted.
"Don't run around. Wait for me to come back." Ling Yun did not answer directly, only leaving behind this sentence.
