Zombie World: I become stronger by reading

Chapter 45 Exploring the Cave
"What... it really shocked us. When we saw the forest outside turned into that, we thought something unexpected had happened..."

Daochang An who woke up explained to the four of them, and the four of them realized that Daochang An was just too tired and fell asleep in the temple, so he didn't hear Qin Shan's shout outside.

"But something did happen in the woods outside."

Daoist An's face was solemn, and he looked at his palm: "Last night, that flying zombie came back and ran into me. Since there is a fate, let's do it. I didn't expect that thing to be so powerful. I was caught off guard. Not only did it escape, but it was almost injured."

"Escaped? Where did it go?"

Qin Shan was taken aback when he heard the words, the news was not very good, if a flying zombie really escaped to the mountains and forests, even if he and the others lived in the wilderness, they might not be able to find it for five or ten years.

It can move for a long time without eating or drinking, and it moves quickly. Once it really wants to escape, Qin Shan really has nothing to do with it.

"Fortunately, according to the arrangements I left before, I should go back to the cave in the south to rest."

Daoist An tried to explore the cave before, and found that the cave was extremely deep and extremely dark. It was impossible to see the end at a glance, and the echo was very loud. If one accidentally made a sound, it would arouse the echo of the entire cave.

It is basically impossible to sneak in without anyone noticing while Fei is frozen in the hole.

Moreover, the worst thing is that this cave is blown by air, it is very likely to be a living cave, and there are more than one caves leading to the outside.

But Taoist An searched around for a long time and could not find another cave entrance.

After listening to what Daoist An said, Qin Shan's first reaction was: "Sly Rabbit Three Caves. This Flying Zombie's intelligence is absolutely incredible!"

The chosen resting place can be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, and if it is impossible, you can still sneak. Flying Zombie must be far more familiar with the environment in the cave than Qin Shan and the others. It is too risky to enter rashly.

However, if you don't go in, it will only be more difficult to deal with Fei Zang after he has cultivated inside.

It has learned from the previous few lessons, and it will definitely act more cautiously. It is hard to say whether it can be caught again.

For a moment, the five people in the small temple all looked sad. The current situation seemed to be a dead end. They were caught in a dilemma. No matter how they made a choice, they had to bear a considerable risk.

After a while, Qiu Sheng still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Is there really no way to find out the other openings of the cave? For example, ask the local villagers or something, maybe they know. We can block all the openings, or advance Lay the trap."

"No, I've basically asked the people living around me. They said that the cave is too deep, so no one goes in to explore it. According to them, if there is another cave entrance, there is a high probability that it can be entered. Into the mountains over there.”

Looking at the rolling hills on the horizon in the distance, Qin Shan knew that it would be useless to find a way to rely solely on his own strength.

No, manpower is useless, but people know how to use tools.

Qin Shan slapped his forehead and took out his Qimen Compass: "Let me try it first. This compass can only be used once a day. How about I ask where the other exit of the cave is?"

Daochang An saw the compass in this shape, and was taken aback for a moment: "You also know the skill of divination?"

"Know a little bit of superficiality, just a little bit. It may be accurate, or it may not be accurate. It's better than nothing."

That being the case, Qin Shan quickly used the compass to divination, seized this opportunity, and the compass vaguely pointed to a certain direction.

"The mountains over there are still quite far away. If you want to go, you have to start now, or you won't be able to come back after a night."

Director An roughly gestured the distance, but it was a bit difficult to walk there.

"It doesn't matter. We hired a carriage when we came here. At first we thought that the carriage driver would take us back, but we didn't expect that it would come in handy now."

Qiu Sheng walked up to the coachman and muttered a few words, the coachman quickly said that the extra work is fine, there is only one request: extra money!
Once the money was in place, so was the carriage. The five people squeezed into the small space, and as the carriage swayed, they soon reached the mountain pass.

"The carriage can't get in here, so I'll wait for you at this gate."

The coachman put several people down and led the horses to stay where they were.

"Okay, Wencai, you stay here just in case. Let's go in with Taoist An to find the entrance to the other side."

The four of them walked into the mountain, and the trail was overgrown with weeds and vines. Obviously, the villagers living around rarely entered the mountain. The only path was already covered with moss and new weeds.

"The compass points to this direction, follow me."

Qin Shan became the undeniable leader of the team, and led the three of them to follow the instructions of the compass. After a long detour, they found a hidden cave entrance.

"The compass can only point out one hole. If there are other exits, we can only use the compass again tomorrow."

So far, the compass hasn't had any problems with these simple problems, so Qin Shan has no doubts about whether the entrance of this cave is connected to the cave in the distance.

But Ren Tingting estimated the distance between the two caves and found that it was a bit too far, and the ups and downs did not match up.

"What should I do? I have to find a way, not only to not disturb the flying zombies in this cave, but also to verify the communication between the two caves."

At this time, Qin Shan had an idea and the Earth Escape Talisman came in handy again.

Qin Shan stuck a talisman on his forehead, and then walked along the inner wall of the cave all the way, skimming the inside of the cave, and finally got out from the cave entrance on the other side.

Then, Qin Shan followed suit and came back here.

"How is it? Is it connected?"

Qin Shan took a breath, his expression a bit ugly:
"Although it is connected... But when I just escaped from the earth, I saw at least five or six branch roads... Even with the earth escape talisman, it is impossible to explore the entire internal structure of the cave. This cave is bigger than we imagined. It’s even more complicated.”

Just now, in order to avoid alerting the snake, Qin Shan went deep into the earth wall, only to feel that the cave was arranged horizontally and vertically, and that all places were interconnected and closely connected.

"Not very good... I even suspect that this cave has dozens of exits, or several exits, but the inside is basically connected by various secret passages and narrow passages. If you pursue it in depth, you will definitely be bypassed."

"Hmm... Since we can't get in, why don't we find a way to let that fly out?"
