Chapter 008 – Stone Beads
His face was pale, gritted his teeth and stood up, surveyed his surroundings, and found that this was a modest natural cave, the sunlight shone in along the cave entrance, and there were bird and animal bones all over the place.
On the wall behind him, there is a fist-sized black hole, inside the darkness can not be seen how deep, he slightly analyzed, vaguely get an answer, just now that suddenly appeared suction force, apparently from this small hole inside the transmission, the ground on the avian corpses and bones, it should be the same as he was sucked in to fall to death.
This suction force should appear at irregular intervals, and it just so happened that the moment he fell suddenly surged, which saved his life, Wang Lin endured the pain in his right arm, and was about to walk towards the outside of the cave, when suddenly the bones on the ground were windless and surged backward, and without saying a word, Wang Lin hurriedly rolled aside to a corner.
In this instant, an unimaginably huge suction force appeared from within the small hole in the wall, the bones of the birds and beasts on the ground clattered and clattered, constantly being sucked into the small hole, some of the bones were large in size, as if they were glued to the wall in a raw way, blocking the small hole.
Despite this, the suction force was still violent, at this time a flying bird was sucked in from the cave opening outside, and crashed into the wall with an extremely fast speed with a snap, blood splattering everywhere.
After about an hour, the suction force disappeared, Wang Lin looked at the corpse of the flying bird on the ground in horror, he didn’t move his body, but sat quietly in place, calculating the time in his heart.
Half an hour later, the suction force reappeared, so the cycle went back and forth several times, Wang Lin grasped the law, this strange suction force lasts for an hour, every time it stops after half an hour it appears again.
Taking advantage of a suction disappeared, Wang Lin hastily endured the pain to the mouth of the cave, down a look can not help but laugh bitterly, the following is a piece of jungle, can vaguely see the ground strange stone looming, the cliff is extremely steep, he is now arm injury, simply can not climb. The distance from the bottom of the cliff is about dozens of feet deep, if he jumps down, will certainly fall to death.
The package with food on his body, also placed on the top of the mountain did not take down, now food is the only thing to be solved, Wang Lin pondered for a little while, calculating the suction drop, and hastily retreated back to the cave against the corner of the wall to sit down.
A day’s time flies past, the sky is getting dark, Wang Lin clearly feel the body is slowly weak, arm has been completely numb without feeling, think about it, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: “Trapped here is a dead end, can jump off the cliff is absolutely no way to live, alas.”
He looked at not far away from the corner of the wall flying bird bloody corpse, hesitated for a moment, a clenched his teeth and walked over to pick it up, put it on his mouth, a fishy flavor came to his face, Wang Lin sighed softly, without saying anything, put it in his mouth to gnaw on the raw meat.
He barely chewed and swallowed directly, his stomach contracted and rolled over and surged with gusts of warmth, swallowed like a wolf and soon ate half of the flying bird, gusts of nausea couldn’t be stopped from surging up, Wang Lin hurriedly stood up and breathed in a big breath of air, and only then did he suppress it.
Smoothly put the leftover bird carcass to one side, Wang Lin sat down against the wall, his mind was full of thoughts, one moment he thought of his parents, one moment he thought of his fourth uncle, one moment he thought of his relatives’ mocking faces, one moment he thought of the black-clothed middle-aged man of the Heng Yue sect’s merciless gaze.
In a trance, suddenly he stared straight at the side of the body to eat half of the bird corpse, eyes do not blink a moment to grab over to take a closer look, only to see in the half of the body of the bird there is a baby’s fist size of the red beads, Wang Lin put this bead keyed, the heart of the heart is greatly surprised.
How could there be a bead inside the body of this flying bird? Inside his heart, he thought that he had once read a mythological text called the Classic of the Mountains and Seas at the village teacher’s place, which described that if many animals lived for many years, a kind of treasure called inner dan would be formed inside their bodies.
This baby if people eat, can be very strong, prolong life, and even amputated limbs can be revived.
At that time, when he saw this description, he was still quite unconvinced and secretly laughed, but now that he had even seen an immortal, he couldn’t help but believe a few points of some of the myths and legends in the Mountain and Sea Scriptures.
Wang Lin’s heart beats wildly, if this bead is really the inner dan described in the Classic of the Mountains and Seas, then if he eats it, won’t his injuries be cured immediately, and it’s even easier to leave this place, and even to worship into the Immortal’s sect should not be too much of a problem, at least in the test of perseverance, it will definitely allow himself to qualify.
But this bead feel hard, not like edible things, he brow tightly locked, with his body clothes cloth to wipe it clean, restore the original color.
It was a gray stone bead with five white clouds engraved on it, it looked quite old, Wang Lin was greatly disappointed, undyingly bit it with his teeth, and finally touched the stone bead, smiled bitterly and said to himself, “Tiezhu, you’re too delusional, how in the world can there be such a coincidence that a random bird of prey that falls to its death in front of it has an inner dan.”
Sighing, at this time outside the sky is already dark, with a deep weariness, he shrinks in the corner gradually sleep, stone beads were casually placed by him on the side of the beast bone.
At this time it was already autumn, the earth dissipated heat very quickly, especially in the mountains, it was even more so, the slightest coolness constantly surged into Wang Lin’s body, in his sleep he hugged his body tightly, the night passed very quickly.
Early the next morning, the sunrise sunlight drifts from outside the cave, irradiated inside the cave, a trace of bright dew from the stone beads next to Wang Lin secrete, as the dew gradually more and more, slowly flowed to the beast bone.
Not too long ago, Wang Lin woke up, his arm is still swollen, not only no sign of improvement but more and more serious, Wang Lin sat on the ground, inwardly despondent.
“Is he going to be trapped here for the rest of his life?” He muttered, his eyes turned, suddenly found that there was dew on the beast bone beside him, and was feeling thirsty, so he carefully picked up the beast bone and put the dew accumulated on it on his mouth and licked it clean.
This dew is sweet and quite drink good, he also do not know if it is not an illusion, after drinking the whole body warm and extremely comfortable.
Especially the arm injury, but also a burst of itchy feeling, swelling is actually slightly eliminated, Wang Lin rubbed his eyes, take a closer look, immediately surprised to find that the arm is indeed some swelling. He gazed at the thought, immediately looking around the other beast bone, but unfortunately there is not a piece of dew on it.
When he was puzzled, he suddenly set his eyes on the stone bead on the side, gazing intently, he saw a tiny drop of dew on it, and he recalled that the beast bone that had dew on it just now was right next to the stone bead. He gently picks up the stone bead, his heart can’t stop beating fast, hesitates for a moment without saying a word and puts it on his arm and rolls it, applying the dew on it evenly get to the swollen position.
A trace of cool feeling from the arm, Wang Lin eyes do not blink, staring at the arm, after a long time his eyes showed joy, arm swelling magically dissipated, he slightly swing, although still slightly painful, but no big problem.
“This stone bead must be a treasure!” Wang Lin was pleasantly surprised.
