Climbing the cliff was not difficult for Chen Wenxuan.
When he was ten years old, his father had brought him to the tomb to broaden his horizons. He had walked through many cliffs, but this kind of straight cliff that was as sharp as a knife was nothing at all.
After climbing the centipede ladder, Chen Wenxuan didn't even need a belt.
Using both his hands and feet, he was still able to maintain his speed and quickly pulled away from the team.
What was worth mentioning was that Francolin Whistle and the old foreigner.
The two of them were like him. They didn't tie the rope around their waists and only relied on their hands. They jumped and climbed on the safety rope, and their falling speed was not inferior to his.
This method of descending the cliff was very similar to the roller coaster he had seen in his previous life, except that the roller coaster was replaced with the back half of the waist.
Although the descent was fast, the return journey was extremely taxing and dangerous.
However, for Mountain Moving Daoist, this kind of thing was already a common occurrence.
After descending for about a hundred meters and passing through two layers of valley fog.
The scene on the cliff changed rapidly.
Sunlight could not reach this place, and the surrounding light quickly dimmed. As it was shrouded in valley fog all year round, the cliff surface was very humid, and the walls were covered with old vines and moss.
With the centipede hanging on the mountain ladder, Chen Wenxuan did not need to worry about the smooth cliff.
He was just worried that there were poisonous centipedes hiding behind these old vines.
When the light was so dim that it was difficult for the naked eye to see anything, Chen Wenxuan turned on the headlights tied to his forehead.
The light broke through the darkness.
Looking down, they were almost at the end of the ravine.
The crevice on the mountain wall became narrower as they went down. If they went down another ten meters, it would be less than a meter wide. As long as they stretched their legs, they could step on both sides of the cliff at the same time.
If one looked closely, one could even see the scene in the deepest part.
The peak of a hall with double eaves and a wedge-shaped peak was in sight. The roof of the hall was very wide and covered with glazed tiles that looked like fish scales.
In the middle, there was a huge hole, and even the dragon bones and wooden rafters inside were exposed.
Chen Wenxuan's heart tightened when he saw the huge hole.
There were two large marks beside the hole, as if a train had run over it.
These were the marks left behind by the six-winged centipede!
He was both happy and worried about the centipede.
He was happy that the six-winged centipede was a big target. He was confident in dealing with it. Even if he couldn't defeat it, he could still run.
What worried him was that there were countless small centipedes below, which would cause him a lot of trouble.
"When I get some special bloodline, I'll definitely find a bug nest to have a good time."
After cursing in his heart, Chen Wenxuan sped up and crossed the deep valley.
After landing on the roof of the hall, Chen Wenxuan immediately steadied himself.
At the same time, he took out the refined steel knife on his back and the box cannon on his waist. Then, he scanned the surroundings with the light of the headlights to detect possible dangers.
Chen Wenxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the surroundings were as calm as ever.
This was a natural karst cave. The entire cave was as wide as a football field and nearly 20 meters high.
Looking along the edge of the roof, one could see a hole in the rock wall in front of the hall. However, the hole was filled with large bricks. It was obvious that it was blocked by someone.
The cave was surrounded by stone corridors, and there was even a circle around the edge of the pool. There were a few artificial mountains inside, but the water source in the pool had long dried up.
It could be seen that this place was once built according to the back garden.
However, it had been abandoned for hundreds of years and had been used as a nest by poisonous creatures, causing the Yin Qi here to be extremely heavy. Even the air was filled with a rotten stench.
Before he could explore two more times, he suddenly heard two footsteps behind him.
Hearing the sound of the landing, Chen Wenxuan knew that Zhe Gushao and the old foreigner had already come down.
The old foreigner was excited as soon as he landed.
"Senior Brother, look!"
"With so much mercury frost hanging on the ceiling, it seems like this really was the place where the emperor refined pills in the past!”
Mercury frost was the result of a large amount of mercury evaporating.
This karst cave was too big, so it was impossible to set up the Mercury Formation.
Therefore, with such a large amount of mercury reserves, coupled with the ancient rumors of Bottle Mountain, it was easy for people to associate this place with the fact that it was once a secret place for alchemy.
"It's true that there's a reason for this."
Francolin Whistle's expression brightened, and he nodded in a good mood.
There was a reason for the spread of rumors in Jianghu.
However, it would be best if he could see it with his own eyes and investigate it personally.
Since the Bottle Mountain was the secret place of the emperors, there were many treasures inside.
The emperor's alchemy was nothing more than for the illusory immortality.
And the pearl he was looking for was also related to longevity.
Perhaps, the successive emperors had already found the Muchen Pearl and hidden it in this alchemy secret place!
Even if there was no Melting Dust Pearl here, there would definitely be some elixirs and miraculous pill formulas left behind!
There might be some ancient pill recipes that could help the Zakrima Tribe!
He only cared about removing the Ghost Eye Curse, not how.
If spirit herbs could cure it, then why would he need to painstakingly seek the Mu Chen Pearl!
But Francolin Whistle's good mood didn't last long.
When he saw the damage on the roof, his expression changed drastically as he looked at Chen Wenxuan who was beside the eaves.
"Brother Chen!"
Chen Wenxuan nodded in response when he saw the strange expression on Zhe Gushao's face. He was a little puzzled.
Zhe Gushao squatted down and carefully examined the two marks beside the large hole on the roof of the hall. His expression became increasingly solemn.
"Brother Chen, your elder brother told me about the secrets of Bottle Mountain.”
"As the chief of Xie Ling, your elder brother would not lie to me. However, what he said was something that happened decades ago, so it is difficult to verify.”
"But now, it seems that a great demon has indeed been born in this Bottle Mountain!”
Chen Wenxuan was enlightened after hearing what Francolin Whistle said.
Francolin Whistle could also tell that the hole was caused by the Six-winged Centipede, and the two tracks beside it were the footprints left by the Six-winged Centipede.
As expected of a veteran, he was really cautious.
