Xu Cheng was left at the top of the waterfall looking down.
Since he was already here, if he didn't go in and take a look, it wouldn't be his style.
But, how was he going to go down?
He didn't have any equipment like the steel rope to slowly drag himself down.
If he didn't use the equipment, it would be even more impossible.
"Let's do it." Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and had his own plan.
He went down the mountain.
After a big circle, he came to the bottom of the waterfall. Looking up at the waterfall above his head, he felt like he could see the sky. Before he even got close, his clothes were already soaked. The sound of the water was so majestic that people didn't dare to get close, afraid that they would be washed away by the torrent of water.
Xu Cheng looked for a place where he could climb up to the opposite side of the waterfall. He already had an idea.
First, he came to the opposite side of the cliff in the middle of the waterfall. From the opposite side, he could see the entire waterfall flowing straight down. Then, he put on his camping equipment backpack.
First, he activated his X-ray vision and directly looked through the waterfall to find the exact location of the cave.
The blood toxic cells activated and gnawed at his body, making him feel like he was on fire. He directly fell to the ground and twitched, but he still activated his X-ray vision and looked at the waterfall on the other side. Finally, he found the entrance of the cave that Xu Semi-Xian mentioned.
Then, he retracted his genetic ability, and the blood toxic cells went back into the backpack.
Xu Cheng laid on the ground like a dog. This kind of pain was worse than death. However, this also gave him an estimate of the pain of the blood toxic attack. He felt like he could endure it for four to five minutes!
Thinking about it, it was no different from a cancer attack, and the pain was excruciating. Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and got up with sweat all over his face. He quickly memorized the exact location of the cave, and then he let out a deep breath.
This time, he was going to use his genetic ability again!
Leaf ant, grasshopper, cat, ultrasound, X-ray vision, and so on.
He squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and looked at the cave in the middle of the waterfall. Then, he fully released his genetic ability, and the blood toxic cells activated again.
However, Xu Cheng's endurance was very strong. At this moment, blood began to drip from all the pores on his body. Xu Cheng roared and suddenly started running. He suddenly rushed out from the edge of the cliff towards the waterfall that was 200 meters away.
The leaf ant instantly burst out with the strength of 20,000 Jin. With the elasticity of the cat and grasshopper, his whole body blasted out like a cannonball.
In the air, Xu Cheng let out a blood-curdling scream because the blood poison was invading his body. For a split second, he almost lost his breath and fell from the sky.
However, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the waterfall. He aimed at the cave and penetrated the resistance of the waterfall with just the right amount of force. Then, his whole body rolled at the entrance of the cave inside the waterfall. His whole body was hit by the surrounding cliffs, and he fainted from the pain.
All of his abilities ceased, and the blood poison gradually disappeared.
When Xu Cheng woke up, his whole body was soaked, and the water made his pores burn. He was almost woken up by the pain, and his hands subconsciously touched the cave around him. Outside, there was the roaring sound of a huge waterfall.
Xu Cheng straightened up his exhausted body and looked around the cave. Everything looked natural, and it was no wonder. In the past, no one had the technology to dig a hole in the cliff.
It was very dark inside. Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was at night, it would probably be pitch black.
If it was a normal day, Xu Cheng could use the night vision ability of an owl to walk around in this kind of dark environment. But now, he couldn't do that, and he could only slowly feel his way in.
The light from the outside was very smooth, but it was a bit dark inside.
When Xu Cheng was feeling his way in, he tripped on something. He touched it with his hand, and there was a piece of cloth. There were bones wrapped in the cloth!
Dead people!
And they were people that had been dead for a long time!
Xu Cheng's meticulous thinking told him that it probably wasn't that simple!
Maybe there was a hidden mechanism?
But he had to admit, did someone come in here before?
This time, he was more careful. After tearing off the clothes of the dead person, he took out a lighter from his bag and ignited the pieces of cloth. Then, he collected all the pieces of cloth left over from the bones and used them to keep the fire going.
The cave entrance was very big, and the deeper he went, the bigger it got.
The first problem Xu Cheng encountered was a thick stone door.
And there was a pile of bones at the door.
"There's definitely a hidden mechanism here!" Xu Cheng squatted down and looked at the bones. There were also a few arrows stuck in their ribs, and the arrowheads were already rusted and black.
"It's poisonous."
After Xu Cheng analyzed, he looked around.
He gently walked up to the stone door and tried to push it, but there was no chance of it loosening at all.
Xu Cheng suddenly used the Leaf Ant ability, pushed it with both hands, and then immediately retracted it.
However, there was still no chance of the stone door loosening.
"Where would the mechanism be?" He wondered in bewilderment.
So, he picked up the fire stick and touched the surrounding walls to find the mechanism, but he still couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Could it be that after someone came in before, it would be closed forever?" Xu Cheng wondered in his heart.
Then, he came to the stone door.
"There's no way there's no mechanism." Xu Cheng stood there, hesitating. In the end, he looked down and saw the bones. He squatted down and pushed the bones away with one hand. Then, there was a thick layer of dust. After he crawled away, he blew on it, and a few dents appeared.
Messy footprints!
"Could this be the mechanism?" Xu Cheng squatted down and didn't rush to touch or step on them.
Because he could tell that these people must have stepped on or touched them before triggering the mechanism. After they died, they turned into bones to cover up the footprints.
Xu Cheng looked down at the messy footprints. It seemed like there was no order to it, but there must be something special about it.
"This is a lot harder than guessing numbers." Xu Cheng was a bit confused.
Could it be that the guy who designed this mechanism was illiterate and could only use such a cumbersome mechanism?
But this design was too hard to guess.
First, there were nine footprints on it.
"There must be a strict requirement for which footprints to step on first, or else there wouldn't be so many dead people here." Xu Cheng thought, "If I step on the wrong sequence of any of the footprints, it will trigger the mechanism, right? I'm really speechless at the designer. What did he design this based on? There's no hint at all. Do I have to go out and ask Half-Immortal Xu? "
Xu Cheng thought back to the pain he felt when he came in and almost died, and he still had some lingering fear.
"I can only try this." Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and tried to guess a random footprint. At the same time, his genetic ability activated the turtle shell as a test.
As a result, he stepped in, and sure enough, tiny pores appeared on both sides of the wall, and a dense rain of arrows burst out.
Luckily, Xu Cheng activated the turtle shell, and after blocking this wave of arrows, he immediately retreated far away. He was rolling on the ground because the blood poison was acting up!
"This is even more painful than getting hit by an arrow!" Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
