There was a rustling sound in the cave, which made people feel a terrifying aura. At this moment, two glowing eyes suddenly appeared. As such, it was normal for the few people walking in front to turn around and run away.
"It's my fault, it's my fault, run!"
The few people behind didn't believe in superstition. Those who were bold went over to take a look. They were suddenly shocked and retreated.
Soon, half of the group ran away. Those who didn't run away were stunned. They stood still and looked at the two eyes in the distance with vigilance.
Ang Lee was almost standing at the front. Although the people under his command were very scared, Ang Lee himself didn't feel afraid because Ang Lee had already made a scientific judgment through the two eyes in front of him. These two glowing eyes were not monsters. There were no monsters in this world.
However, the people around him didn't think so. They were more ignorant and believed in some supernatural things. There was no human habitation in this sinkhole all year round. This cave was extremely hidden. There was some credibility in hiding some monsters. At least, that was what they thought.
"Come back, why are you running? Is this what you do as guards?"
Although Chen Long was also very scared, at least he didn't forget his mission. They were guards to protect Ang Lee's safety. How could they leave Ang Lee in the same place and run back by themselves?
These guards were naturally not timid people. It was just that the horrible sound in the cave was too shrill. It had already made them a little scared. Their courage had been slowly eroded. After that, two glowing eyes suddenly appeared. This was the last straw that crushed their courage. It made them collapse in an instant. They couldn't help but want to escape. This moment was too short. It was so short that they didn't have time to think about their mission. They even forgot about Ang Lee.
Although this was an instinctive reaction, Ang Lee was still a little dissatisfied. These people were still not loyal enough. When he looked at them, he saw that the ones who ran away were Chen Long's subordinates and a few Zhan clansmen. Ang Lee's personal guards were all standing beside and behind him. They didn't take a step back. It was obvious who was more loyal.
The few Dragon Martial Army soldiers who ran away after being scolded by Chen Long all ran back. A few Zhan clansmen also came back. They didn't dare to run away anymore.
Ang Lee looked at everyone and said calmly, "There are no monsters. Look at how scared you are. Keep moving forward."
When everyone heard this, they were still very scared. However, they could only brace themselves and walk forward. they carefully observed the situation in front of them. If something was wrong, they could immediately escape. No one was willing to be eaten by monsters' food.
"Assistant Minister Li, if this light isn't a monster's eye, then what is it?"
Chen Long mustered up his courage and asked.
At this moment, he was also very scared. After all, the sound in the cave was too terrifying. At the same time, the two eyes that suddenly appeared were also very scary. They looked very much like the eyes of a monster.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "What is it? Let's walk over and see. You guys! It's just that you are too inexperienced, too inexperienced! "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
Suddenly, a group of black things flew out from the cave. Everyone was immediately scared out of their wits.
"It's just a few bats and you're already so scared. Is that all you have?"
Ang Lee reprimanded angrily.
These guys were indeed very troublesome. A few bats were enough to scare them into retreating.
It was very normal for bats to appear in caves. Bats loved caves the most. They would hide in caves to rest during the day and then go out to hunt at night.
"Bats aren't scary. However, it is quite scary for bats to appear in this situation."
Chen Long opened his mouth and said.
Even in the capital of the Tang dynasty, bats could be seen in the sky when it was dark. However, no one would be afraid of bats. At this moment, bats suddenly appeared in a cave filled with a terrifying atmosphere. This feeling was naturally different. Naturally, it was more frightening.
It was like if you were on a crowded street and someone told you a ghost story, you wouldn't be too scared. However, if you were in a graveyard in the wild and someone told you this story, you would probably be scared and scream. This was because the environment was different. Therefore, people's feelings were different. In a safe environment, even if you heard scary things or saw scary objects, you wouldn't feel scared. At least, this feeling would be relatively weak. However, if you were in a terrifying environment and saw scary objects or heard scary things, it would be very scary. Even a normal object would be regarded as a scary thing. For example, a clothes rack would not be scary when you saw it normally. However, in a room with insufficient light, you would be regarded as an assassin and be scared out of your wits. This situation was not impossible, but very likely.
Ang Lee looked at Chen Long and the others with a smile and said, "This shows that you are still not brave enough. You are still too timid! Haha! "
After that, he patted Chen Long on the shoulder. It was an encouragement to Chen Long, not a mockery.
Hearing this, Chen Long suddenly looked a little ashamed. At the same time, it also aroused his inner pride and courage. He felt that he was not lacking in anything. Since Ang Lee was not afraid, then he shouldn't be afraid either. It was a little embarrassing to be so timid.
"Hey, Assistant Minister Li, why do I hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind? It's the sound of leaves!"
After calming down, Chen Long listened carefully to the sound outside. Suddenly, he felt that the rustling sound was not a monster, but the sound of leaves being blown by the wind. Suddenly, the fear in his heart weakened a little.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "That's right. That's the sound of leaves being blown by the wind. Why did you only recognize it now?"
Obviously, Ang Lee had already recognized that it was the sound of leaves being blown by the wind. However, due to the special nature of the cave, there were some changes after the sound entered. It made the sound of leaves being blown by the wind different from what was heard outside. Thus, it fooled everyone, but it did not fool Ang Lee.
The reason why this sound did not fool Ang Lee was naturally because Ang Lee's mind was firm. He did not believe in the saying that the Black Tortoise's mind was in chaos. From the beginning, he carefully judged what the sound was. As for the others, under the influence of fear, they preconceived that the sound was made by a terrifying monster, which seriously affected their judgment.
This kind of preconceived idea was very scary. It would seriously affect a person's judgment. A person who fell into anger and fear would naturally have the idea of being the master, which would seriously affect his judgment and make him make the wrong judgment.
Just now, because Chen Long was in fear, he did not calmly analyze what the sound was. At this moment, because he had overcome the fear in his heart, Chen Long easily analyzed that the sound was the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.
However, Chen Long also did not understand. How could the sound of leaves being blown by the wind appear in the cave? How could there be leaves in the cave? This was too unbelievable.
"Assistant Minister Li, where did this sound come from? There are only stones and streams in this cave, but there are no leaves! "
Chen Long asked curiously.
Ang Lee said, "There are no leaves in the cave, but can't you guess what the two eyes in front are?"
"If those two eyes are not the eyes of a monster, then are they rare gems, luminous pearls?"
Chen Long said casually.
As soon as he said that, everyone began to talk about it.
"Luminous pearls, such bright luminous pearls are rare. If this is really a luminous pearl, then it's too valuable."
"Impossible! How can a luminous pearl be so dazzling? "
"Why not? I heard that this high-quality luminous pearl is especially bright at night. It can illuminate an entire room and make it look like it's daytime."
"No way! This luminous pearl also needs to absorb sunlight during the day to illuminate at night. But there's no sunlight in the cave. How can this luminous pearl be lit all the time? Where does it get so much light? "
"This must be a top-grade luminous pearl. It must be priceless."
Hearing everyone's words, Ang Lee laughed.
"Assistant Minister Li, are we wrong?"
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee laughed and said, "Luminous pearl, where did this luminous pearl come from? What are you thinking? Can a luminous pearl make the sound of leaves being blown by the wind? It can't be! "
"Oh, I know. The two eyes in front can't be two holes, right? The sunlight from outside shines in, so the two eyes we see are holes. There must be leaves near the holes. "
Chen Long finally figured it out and said happily.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Yes, you finally figured it out. These two eyes are holes, and there must be leaves outside the holes. The sound came from outside the holes. You're not afraid now, right?"
"Haha! I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not afraid at all. "
Chen Long said with a smile. At the same time, everyone immediately relaxed. Since the light in front of them was the hole, what was there to be afraid of? With no fear in their hearts, everyone's walking speed increased a lot, and they were quickly approaching the hole.
Previously, Li An had some doubts in his heart. After going a few hundred meters deep into the cave, even if the cave entrance was big enough, the oxygen content inside should have decreased a lot. However, along the way, Li An didn't feel that the oxygen in the cave was insufficient. On the contrary, the air in the cave was relatively fresh, which made Li An feel very strange. He couldn't figure out the reason immediately. After seeing the two eyes, Li An carefully sensed it and found that there was actually a trace of weak wind in the cave. This made Li An immediately understand everything and immediately judged that the two eyes were the cave entrance. Moreover, the fresh air from the cave entrance was constantly flowing into the cave and flowing out from the previous cave entrance. This ensured that the air in the cave was always fresh and there would be no shortage of oxygen. Of course, this trace of wind would also make the temperature in the cave seem even colder.
However, since these two holes were not big, not much air could enter. The space of the cave was relatively spacious, and the height of the cave was as high as two people. Therefore, the wind speed in the cave was not high. Moreover, most of the air passed through from above. Therefore, no one felt the wind in the cave.
After everyone quickened their pace, they soon arrived at the location of the two cave entrances and saw the complete cave entrance.
"Assistant Minister Li, this is a cliff. The two holes are cliffs, we can't get out."
Chen Long said.
Ang Lee walked over and looked carefully. The two holes weren't big, only about a meter in diameter. However, due to the angle, only a small part of the hole could be seen from afar. Moreover, this small part was oval-shaped, very much like the eyes of a monster, which scared everyone.
Outside these two small holes, there were indeed leaves. They were the leaves of small trees. These small trees grew in the crevices of the cliff, and the leaves were just near the holes. When the wind outside blew, the sound of the leaves rustling naturally spread into the cave.
Due to the angle of the two holes, the space outside couldn't be seen very clearly. They could only be sure that the hole was at the cliff, and outside the cliff was a valley. As for which valley it was, no one knew. Even the Zhan Clan members felt that they had never been to the valley outside.
"With these two small holes, we can continue to go deeper into the cave."
Ang Lee said.
Obviously, the most important thing when exploring a cave was oxygen. If there wasn't enough oxygen in the cave at the top of the mountain, people who entered would suffocate to death. Generally, for a particularly long cave, the deeper one went, the thinner the oxygen would be. Even a torch couldn't be lit, let alone continue exploring.
"Assistant Minister Li, it's very warm here. Why don't we rest here for a while?"
Chen Long said.
The temperature outside was not low, but the temperature inside the cave was very low. The difference in temperature was at least five degrees, or even ten degrees. However, the two small holes were different. They could bask in the sun here, and the heat waves outside could also blow in. Therefore, as long as one stood near the hole, they wouldn't feel cold at all. The effect was many times better than lighting a bonfire in the cave.
"Well, in that case, let's rest for a while and let everyone warm up."
Ang Lee said.
This cave was unknown. When exploring an unknown cave, one couldn't be too impatient. Exploring one step at a time was enough.
They had only stayed in the cave for a short while, and when they suddenly saw the sun, they had a very eager look forward to it. Therefore, one could imagine how sad it was for some people who were forced to live in a dark and cold environment all their lives.
Since small trees could grow on the cliff at the entrance of the cave, naturally, some precious herbs could also grow there. Looking out from the entrance of the cave, one could indeed see some herbs, and there were also some precious herbs. However, this cliff was a little too dangerous. When they entered the cave, they didn't bring enough tools, so naturally, they couldn't risk it for such a small profit.
"It's about time. Everyone, continue to explore and see how long this cave is."
Ang Lee said.
