The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Chapter 190 The Disappearing Mark

The direction Mei Youqian pointed to actually had a large cave.

This grotto has a strange style and looks very old. Many of the statues are strange half-human, half-lizard images, and there are strange patterns on the statues, like vines.

According to Ruifeng's common sense, the monsters in the world of cultivation need to reach the Nascent Soul stage to transform into human form.

Among the Yuanying stage monsters, except for the elder of Fox Hill who kept his human form, the rest of the monsters were beautiful because of their beastly bodies.

Those great demons can transform after surviving the thunder tribulation, but although they also have human form, they do not always show themselves in human form.

The monsters that have not survived the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation can only maintain their beast bodies.

Half human, half lizard, could it be a demon beast that failed to transform in the Nascent Soul stage?

Ruifeng thought about it while contacting the three fellow disciples in the cave.

"Brother... huh... we are avoiding the stone lizards... huh"

The three fellow disciples seemed to be in poor condition and were panting.

Ruifeng didn't say anything more. "Please tell me the exact location. I'm already at the statue of the half-human, half-lizard."

"Huh... We have lost our way in the caves of the grotto. We have marked every fork in the road we passed.

The only location we can name is the one we just passed by. There is a cave with a huge stone tree in it. It is very tall, dozens of times taller than the sect hall. "

Ruifeng was very anxious because the passages in the cave were very complicated.

"There are only two of us. Let's go find the stone tree you mentioned first."

Ruifeng and Mei Youqian did not dare to search for people separately in such a complicated place, so they could only search one way at a time.

I marked a road after I passed it, but after wandering around for about half an hour,

Mei Youqian stopped Ruifeng who was about to dive into the cave again.

"Brother, I feel something is not right. It seems we have walked this road before."

Ruifeng went back to the fork in the road and looked at it. "There is no mark. Maybe you remembered it wrongly."

Mei Youqian shook his head and pointed at a stone. "No, I kicked a stone at random at the entrance of the cave before. Because the shape of the stone was a bit special, I paid attention to it. Now the stone is still in the same place. And the place where you made the inverted triangle mark seems to be here. It used to be uneven, but now it is flat, which looks like it has been dug out."

Ruifeng was a little horrified. "The mark was dug out? Are you sure it's this hole?"

Ruifeng looked around, wondering if there was any creature in the dark watching them.

Tutu also felt a little scared, and insisted on squeezing into the sofa in his parents' room, giving Ruifeng suggestions while trembling.

"The hover car has a function called scanning. If you remove the scanner in front, it will record the path you have taken and generate a map of it. This way you won't take the same path twice. This will prevent you from doing useless work."

Ruifeng felt that Tutu was right. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Before he went too deep, he went out to get some professional equipment.

The two of them wanted to go back along the same route. They still remembered the passage they had taken when they came here. After leaving the passage, all the signs on the fork in the road disappeared.

The two were so frightened that they had no choice but to follow the route they remembered. It took them two hours to get out of the cave.

The two of them quickly returned to the flying car to calm down, and Ruifeng ran to study the scanner.

I found that every round thing under the car, similar to the camera on a Tutu phone, is a scanner. There are dozens of scanners on a flying car.

Each scanner was half his height. Ruifeng had some doubts.

"Tutu, can these things still be used if they are taken apart separately?"

Tutu nodded, "Yes, this is the advice I gave to my friends in the interstellar plane before, that is, each functional component can be disassembled and used independently.

These scanners are meant to be used independently.”

Ruifeng tentatively pressed the bayonet, and sure enough, the scanner could be removed.

"The scanner can project, yes, just press a button."

Ruifeng stuffed the scanner into the pink backpack, turned around and saw Mei Youqian following suit, taking out a scanner.

Mei Youqian couldn't find anything to install the scanner, and was looking at his pants with a thoughtful look on his face.

Ruifeng quickly took off his undershirt and gave it to Mei Youqian as a burden to prevent his thoughts from wandering.

Now that they had the scanner, they could act separately and agreed to keep in touch at all times.

Ruifeng thought about it, and stuffed a large piece of compressed biscuits into Mei Youqian's bag. Then the two of them started to explore the way separately.

This time Ruifeng's speed was much faster. In less than half an hour, it had explored a large area like a grid.

"How is it going over there? Have you found the stone tree they were talking about?" Ruifeng asked Mei Youqian.

"There is not a single clue, and there are no marks or scratches on the stone wall," Mei Youqian replied.

Ruifeng sighed and quickened his pace. After two hours, he had walked half of the cave.

The distance Mei Youqian had walked was close to half of the total area he had originally estimated on the flying car, but they did not meet.

Ruifeng quickened his pace. The longer he stayed here, the more he felt that there was something terrible and unknown watching him.

Another two hours passed, Ruifeng frowned and carefully observed the projection. The grid that lit up in the projection had almost covered the entire area of ​​the cave that was previously estimated.

But now, not only did he not meet Mei Youqian, but he also did not meet the three stone lizards from his fellow disciples, and the stone tree was nowhere to be seen.

What's going on? Did I really avoid all the correct answers perfectly?

Tutu lay on the sofa wrapped in a quilt, accompanying Ruifeng throughout the exploration of the caves.

"The scanner's map is three-dimensional. You can adjust the angle to see if you have missed any important routes."

Ruifeng frowned as he tried to slide the projection. "Overall, the route we have taken seems to be on a flat surface. Is there a path leading downwards?"

Ruifeng didn't plan to look for it. He picked up the broken sword and started digging stones.

After the sword broke, it was always used to do such rough work as digging soil and stones.

However, Qianjin Stone is indeed hard, and digging the stones out of the cave is as easy as cutting tofu.

Ruifeng dug hard for half an hour before finally finding another passage. Ruifeng was very excited.

Mei Youqian used the communication symbol to learn from Ruifeng that the passage was divided into several layers and they might have gone astray, so he tried to dig a passage upwards. However, he was reluctant to use his precious sword to dig stones, so he used a piece of animal armor that he got from somewhere.

When he dug to the upper level and compared it with the position when he started entering the cave, he found that he was actually in a passage that led to a passage on the lower level.

Mei Youqian returned to the next floor. He wandered around and found a spot not far away, ready to dig deeper to see if there was another layer below.

After a while, Ruifeng finally found the hole dug by Mei Youqian.

Ruifeng caught up with Mei Youqian who was digging a hole. "The inverted triangle mark you made at the entrance of the hole is quite eye-catching."

"Ah? Mark? I didn't make an inverted triangle mark at the entrance of the cave."
