Chapter 2523: Stop acting
For a moment, Zhao Xu had no idea either.
Zhao Xu asked the old man: "Have you been to Six Ring Valley?"
"Have been!" the old man nodded.
The old man said, "As long as you save me, I will take you to the Six Ring Valley to find the Golden Crown Snake. Then, you will take me out of the Valley, how about it?"
Shadow said indifferently: "Old man, stop acting! I don't believe that you, a person who doesn't understand martial arts, can reach the Six Ring Valley."
"Don't you believe me?"
The old man first looked at Zhao Xu, and then looked at the shadow.
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "We won't trust anyone here."
"You...how can you not save me? I am so old, how could I harm you?" The old man squeezed out a few tears in sadness.
Zhao Xu ordered Shadow: "Shadow, go and get some food for him, which is considered to be the end of kindness."
Seeing that Zhao Xu finally defended the bottom line and did not save the old man, Shadow breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
He turned his body and returned to the place where he made the raft, took some food, and placed it in front of the old man, and said coldly to the old man: "Old man, don't say we have no conscience. We can do it for you, that's all. Nowadays, people's hearts are not old, and no one dares to help the old man fall on the road, for fear of being cheated. What about you? Although you may not be a bad person, you may not be a good person. Whether you die or live, it depends on your fate!"
Zhao Xu and Shadow left the old man behind and returned to the place where they built the raft.
Zhao Xu used the "fish intestine sword" in his hand to repair the wood while saying to the shadow: "The old man said there were snakes everywhere in the Six Ring Valley, and he didn't know whether it was true or false."
Shadow said: "This old man is weird, don't pay attention to him. Do you believe that a person who knows martial arts can reach the Six Ring Valley?"
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't believe it anyway!"
Of course, Zhao Xu didn't believe that an ordinary person who was older could reach the Six Ring Valley.
Since entering the "Savage Shennong Valley", there has been danger everywhere. Even martial arts masters like Zhao Xu and Shadow have difficulty dealing with it, let alone ordinary people like the old man.
Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "However, when I look at the old man's expression and tone, it doesn't seem like I'm telling lies."
"What do you care about that old man do? Let's build a raft and cross the pond by yourself!"
"But you didn't hear the old man say, are there any water monsters in this pool?"
"this......"
The shadow stopped working.
At this point, he still believed in the old man.
At this moment, the water in the pond began to bubbling, as if it was boiling.
Zhao Xu and Shadow heard the movement and looked at the pool.
I saw abnormalities in the river water, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
The two were shocked by this abnormal phenomenon!
Then, a water arrow spewed out like a fountain and poured towards this side.
"Run!" Zhao Xu shouted to the shadow, picked up the package and ran away.
Shadow also immediately copied the package into his hand.
The two of them were almost avoiding each other.
Hurry!
The water spewed out of the pool poured down.
For a time, it continued to flow, and it formed a river to rush downwards.
Zhao Xu and Shadow were stunned by this scene.
All the materials for making rafts collected by the two were washed away by the flood.
The water column lasted for nearly six or seven minutes before dissipating until the pool water returned to calm again.
Shadow said: "This may be the secret of the tidal stream water in the savage Shennong Valley."
Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and said, "It seems that there should be a crater under this pool, and such squirts will erupt several times a day."
"No wonder no one knows the secret of the tidal streams in the Savage Shennong Valley. Those people have arrived at the Third Ring Valley at most. This pool is in the Fourth Ring Valley. Of course, I don't know because this will cause floods every day."
"What a pity! The materials we collected were all running away."
Zhao Xu and Shadow each smiled bitterly.
With the experience of this pool eruption, Zhao Xu and Shadow chose another safe location and started collecting materials for rafts again.
Shadow suddenly stopped his subordinates' work, frowned and asked Zhao Xu, "Why didn't you hear the old man's cry for help?"
Zhao Xu also felt very strange!
Since the strange squirting of water occurred in the pool, I have heard the old man's cry for help again.
The place where the water spray was not the location where the old man had an accident, but where Zhao Xu and Shadow built a raft.
After being asked by the shadow, Zhao Xu realized.
Zhao Xu said to the shadow: "Let's go and have a look!"
The shadow said "Yeah!" and followed Zhao Xu. The two of them quickly raided towards the place where the old man had an accident.
After arriving at the site of the old man's accident, I found that there was no trace of the old man except for some blood stains on the ground.
Not only the old man disappeared, but the food given to him by the shadow was gone.
Shadow frowned and said, "Strange, the old man was almost bitten by one of his legs and could not move at all. How could he lose his shadow?"
Zhao Xu was also very surprised.
Incredible things happen everywhere in this savage Shennong Valley.
Zhao Xu was also puzzled.
Zhao Xu said: "I won't be taken away by wild beasts, right?"
"Then there should be other blood, or there are signs of struggle! Look, even the food I gave him is gone!"
"Let's look around!" Zhao Xu said.
The two began to search carefully nearby.
After searching for it, I only found some footprints, but these footprints did not belong to humans at all.
After the shadow found the footprints, he called to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, come here quickly!"
Zhao Xu hurriedly ran towards Shadow.
Shadow pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "You see, these footprints are new, but this does not belong to humans at all."
Zhao Xu stared at the footprints on the ground carefully and said, "Among animals, only the footprints of apes and bears are closest to humans. This seems to be a human footprint, but in fact it is not. It is very likely to be an ape or a bear."
Shadow said: "If the old man was eaten by a bear, he would have struggled or left clues! Why didn't there be any clues?"
"I don't know!" Zhao Xu shook his head.
He is neither a biologist nor an explorer. How could he know these things!
Zhao Xu said to the shadow: "No matter what the old man is, let's go back!"
The shadow said "Yeah!" and talked to Zhao Xu about the old man while walking back to the place where the raft was built.
By the time Zhao Xu and Shadow finished building the raft, it was already evening.
At night, tidal flooding will occur.
Maybe the raft will be washed away by the water column as soon as it reaches the water river.
Chapter completed!
