Huo Jiakai used his well-trained eyes to carefully observe the surrounding situation. He pointed to a place and said to Lu Yue," Did you notice that this place has traces of artificial excavation?”
Lu Yue's eyes widened. She could not see anything on the cliff that Huo Jiakai was pointing at.
"Silly, those shallow pits are definitely not naturally formed. They are arranged at equal distances and are just the size of a foot.”
Only then did Lu Yue see a few shallow pits mixed in with weeds and strange rocks. She asked in disbelief," Who could use such a small pit to pass through such a dangerous cliff? Could it be that the ancients could fly on roofs and walk on walls?”
Huo Jiakai replied," There's no need for the ancients. There's one in front of you.”
Although Lu Yue knew that he was very powerful, she still shrugged her nose in disbelief.
"No, this used to be a cliff path. There were wooden planks in that pit, but now the planks have rotted away. I have to go over and see why there is a boardwalk here leading to that place.”Huo Jiakai turned around and said to Lu Yue," I'll go take a look first. Wait for me here." Take care of yourself."
"I know. You have to be careful. If the situation doesn't go well, retreat quickly.”Lu Yue replied gently and quietly. She gathered her courage and added,"Don't make me worry."”
Lu Yue's voice became softer and softer, but Huo Jiakai could still hear her clearly. He suppressed the warmth in his heart and did not say anything. He took out two short daggers from his legs and handed one to Lu Yue. He held the other in his left hand and used his legs to climb up the rocks steadily.
When he was dozens of meters away from the brim of the hat, there were no protruding stones on the cliff except for the shallow pits. Lu Yue's neck was sore from looking up. She was sweating for Huo Jiakai and praising his agility.
Huo Jiakai took a deep breath and jumped up. He stepped on the first shallow pit with one foot and pressed his body against the cliff. He stabbed the dagger in his left hand into the crack of the rock and pulled out the knife. Then, he kicked hard on the foot that was stepping on the pit and jumped up again. He took the opportunity to pull out the knife and stabbed it into another crack.
With a few leaps, he was much closer to the brim of his hat. The stone pit changed its direction from vertical to vertical and began to move horizontally to the right. Moving horizontally was more difficult and dangerous than moving vertically. There was simply no place for him to exert his strength.
Huo Jiakai's clothes were drenched in sweat. When the wind blew from above, he shivered even though it was June. Huo Jiakai waved the dagger with his right hand, pushing it into the rock wall as far as possible. He kicked the stone pit with his leg, making his body jump horizontally, and his feet could step into the next stone pit.
The Huo Family was the first to jump horizontally and almost fell down. When he jumped, his body was a little far from the cliff. One foot stepped into the stone pit, and his center of gravity was still outside. Fortunately, he used his other hand to hold the dagger inserted in the gap of the cliff in time. His whole body was tightly lying on the cliff like a gecko.
Huo Jiakai, who had always been calm in the face of danger, was so shocked that his scalp went numb and his hair broke out in cold sweat. Every leap was like entering the gates of hell. Huo Jiakai passed more than 20 levels in a row and finally came to the last stone pit. He found himself in a desperate situation.
There was no way up or down. There was no stone pit on the right side to step on. In front of him was a cliff that was tightly pressed together, and behind him was a cliff that was hundreds of meters high. It was almost impossible to retreat. He had already exhausted too much of his stamina…
In a dilemma, Huo Jiakai forced himself to calm down. This didn't make sense.
Not to mention many years ago, it was not easy to make a stone nest on this almost vertical mountain wall now. Those people had nothing to do, so why would they come here to make a stone nest?
There must be a purpose. The plank road must be built to transport things or let people in and out. Huo Jiakai narrowed his eyes and searched carefully. When he gripped the mountain wall with both hands and looked up, he saw something strange.
The top of Huo Jiakai's head was in the middle of the brim, and there was a stone ring under the brim. The stone ring seemed to have been specially placed.
Huo Jiakai didn't know what the stone ring was for, so he decided to try it out first.
He untied the rattan rope from his waist and wrapped one end around his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the other end flew toward the stone ring. The rattan rope passed through the stone ring and hung down, hanging right above Huo Jiakai's head, swaying non-stop.
Huo Jiakai jumped up and grabbed the rattan rope. His body was already in the air. If he missed, he would fall off the cliff.
The situation had changed. Huo Jiakai grabbed the vine rope and floated in the air. The stone above his head moved down a little. He did not expect that there was a movable stone in the rock at the edge of the elephant's hat.
The moving stone stopped, and a crack appeared on the mountain wall in front of Huo Jiakai. As the crack creaked, it grew larger and larger. When it was about one meter long, the creaking stopped, and the crack stopped growing.
Huo Jiakai didn't hesitate and jumped into the crack. Now, any situation was better than hanging on the cliff.
The crack was about a meter wide. After walking for more than ten meters, Huo Jiakai found a large space of hundreds of square meters. It was several feet high. There was a pile of dust on the ground. Huo Jiakai brushed the dust away, revealing the dark red ground. It was very smooth.
There was a swastika in the middle of the ground, and there were clearly some small pits in the ground that surrounded the swastika. In the innermost part of the hall, there was a huge ebony box.
The lid of the box was tilted to the side. Clearly, someone had opened the box and taken something from it.
Huo Jiakai walked closer to take a closer look. The ebony box was empty, but the box was not damaged. Although the box was big, it did not look stupid. On the contrary, it was very exquisite. He did not know what era it was.
He tried. The box was heavy, not like wood. He knocked on the sides of the box, making a hard bang sound. It was completely solid.
Huo Jiakai was wondering what this place used to be when he suddenly heard the creaking of the rocks. One of the mountain walls inside actually slowly parted on its own.
Huo Jiakai quickly dodged to the side. He heard footsteps coming from the other side of the mountain wall. He was extremely surprised. Could it be that there were ancient people living in this cave?
Huo Jiakai gripped his knife tightly and planned to make the first move. What made him even more dumbfounded was a hairy man that looked like a gorilla. It was more than two meters tall and covered in brown hair. He had dark brown eyes and two thick nostrils on his face. He looked ugly, but his expression was very gentle. He was actually hugging Lu Yue in his arms.
Lu Yue saw Huo Jiakai and shouted happily. She quickly jumped off the gorilla and ran to Huo Jiakai's side." I was so afraid that something had happened to you."”
Even though Lu Yue's natural display of true feelings warmed his heart, he still asked first," What's going on? Where did this gorillan-like hairy man come from?”
Lu Yue told Huo Jiakai that she watched him move up and then to the right. Because of the curve of the mountain, she could not see him in the end. After waiting for a while, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She wanted to go down and find the others.
I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see me when you came down. Just as I had no choice, it ran towards me.
It meant no harm to me. I pointed to the cliff where the stone pits were arranged and told it that my friend had gone there, so it brought me here.
We came in from a small cave behind the mountain. There were many other mechanisms, but it knew how to control them, so it came here.
Huo Jiakai listened to Lu Yue's story as if it was a fantasy. He didn't believe it at first, but looking at that hairy man, he had no choice but to believe it.
The hairy man glared at him and then looked at Lu Yue gently.
Huo Jiakai's expression was even stranger. He asked Lu Yue,"Is this hairy man in love with you?"”
Lu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry." What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly a female.”
Huo Jiakai took a closer look and saw that her breasts were still very voluptuous, but they were all covered by long hair. Lu Yue looked at Huo Jiakai's gaze and could not help but think of the day he stared at the Miao girl's chest. She was a little embarrassed and angry.”
Huo Jiakai was baffled and said,"How am I a hooligan?"”
The hairy man also glanced at Huo Jiakai, his eyes clearly saying,"You're such a hooligan."”Huo Jiakai felt extremely strange and uncomfortable.
