Every day is one step closer to reality

In the narrow passage, Feng Yi turned into a mimic and continued to climb forward with difficulty.

The good thing is, the cave isn't always that narrow.

It's just that there are a few places that are extremely narrow, and you encounter a narrow mouth every once in a while.

It's like a level.

After passing a narrow level, the cave will be slightly spacious, enough for two or three Feng Yi's true forms to walk side by side.

If given a choice, Feng Yi would not want to physically destroy this place.

If it wasn't directly stuck and it didn't reach the point where he couldn't move even an inch, he wouldn't use violence.

Therefore, even if he encountered a narrow mouth and the difficulty of moving forward increased, Feng Yi did not use brute force to expand the diameter of the cave.

It seems like no one has walked here for a long, long time.

It shouldn't be.

Could it be that none of the elders in the past have been here?

My aunt hasn't been here either?

Feng Yi thought as he crawled forward, feeling the atmosphere in the cave.

The underground water flow brings the smell of living and non-living things, but there is no sign of any long-term survival of living things in the cave.

It could be said that there was dead silence.

Feng Yi carefully recalled that there were no aquatic animals or plants in that area at the entrance of this passage, as if all creatures deliberately avoided this area.

Inside the cave, the surface stone of the cave wall is slightly different from the inner layer.

Perhaps because of this, we can protect this place without much change for thousands of years, with no obvious erosion and no invasion and occupation by foreign organisms.

Feng Yi himself could not feel any danger, but he guessed that the surface stone of the cave might contain some "expulsion" information.

"When we return, take some samples and bring them back to Xiaowu for analysis." Feng Yi thought to himself.

This passage is very long, but it is not a straight line, nor does it lead upwards, but winds downwards, deeper underground.

The water temperature is also low during long-term underwater diving. For ordinary people, without adequate protection measures and emergency equipment, there is no way to explore.

Therefore, even if someone has discovered this place, it is extremely difficult to continue to look inside.

The cave was completely dark, which did not cause any disturbance to Feng Yi. He could sense the situation inside the cave.

Swim for a while, climb over a level, swim for a while, pass the level again...

Finally, I came out of the small cave and faced a larger underwater space.

This place should also be within the mountain, surrounded by stone walls, but the space is larger.

If instinct is right, there should be one here...

Feng Yi did not rush to check the surroundings, but swam upward.

Wow——

Feng Yi emerged from the water and breathed fresh air

It was still dark, complete darkness.

But the air here carries the smell of the forest outside the mountain.

Apparently, there are hidden vents here, and more than one.

The cave wall above is also a long way from the water surface. Even if there is some unexpected rising water, there is still room to breathe.

Feng Yi originally thought that if there was no ventilation space inside, he would exit the same way.

His ability to sneak underwater is enough to ensure his safe return. Go out for a breather and come back with some breathing equipment. He can stay underwater for a long time with one breath.

But now it seems that there is no need to return.

When you want to breathe, float up.

This is indeed a very safe place with no foreign creatures to disturb us.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Not necessarily where the ancestors lived, maybe just a refuge?

But Feng Yi didn't understand why they made the entrance so narrow.

Could it be that a long time ago, our ancestors were not really tall?

Miniature?

Feng Yi thought of some primitive models in the museum that were about one meter tall.

Be aware of the situation around you.

This place is like a spacious underground tunnel, connected to it by the narrow passage where Feng Yi came in.

Continuing forward, not far away, Feng Yi saw another passage with a larger diameter on the side cave wall.

Compared with the narrow passage through which he wormed his way in, the one in front of him looked like a widened and taller double-opening door.

When you walk in and take a closer look, you can see that there are some claw marks on the cave wall, left over in recent decades.

Did your aunt catch you?

Feng Yi checked a section inside from this side "gate" and found that even the narrowest position inside would not be stuck at all!

It was exactly what he thought.

My aunt must have been here, more than once.

So, my aunt came in through this "gate"? !

So what is the passage I came in through? Dog hole?

Feng Yi swam back and looked at the passage he entered.

After comparing it, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Instinct...

Is there a possibility that you are looking for a special passage for cubs? ! !

Feng Yi reflected.

What was Instinct's criterion for finding this cub passage?

Sure enough, instinct can be trusted, but not completely.

Now is not the time to dwell on this, Feng Yi put these aside.

Anyway, I finally found the place.

Although the "door" coming in is not very suitable.

After swimming around in this spacious underwater cave, Feng Yi found that there was more than one entrance, some large and some small, but in general, the larger ones had more passages.

The layout here is like a centipede, with the main part long and spacious, and the upper floor with ventilation space.

The "limb" part of the "centipede" is the large and small passages leading to the outside.

Just like the narrow passage that came in, the stone on the surface of the main stone wall is like a protective shell, preventing the attachment of aquatic animals and plants, as well as the damage of microorganisms and corrosive substances.

The water here is flowing with the outside. Even if the flow rate is not fast, it means that the water here is running water and does not have a strong smell of decay.

Precisely because it is circulated, there is a layer of sediment at the bottom of the cave.

If you walk on the bottom underwater, it will cause local turbidity. Quite annoying.

Therefore, Feng Yi swims in the middle layer underwater.

The prototype used.

There is enough space, and Feng Yi prefers to use the original shape here.

Continue forward from the "centipede" shaped passage to reach the "head" part.

This place was like a deep pool with no bottom, but Feng Yi did not explore down, but swam vertically upstream from this position.

call--

His head emerged from the water, he stretched out his hands to push his wet hair back, swung his tail, and walked towards the side.

Here is a cave located within the mountain.

Not naturally formed.

There is no smell of corrosion.

Thousands of years have passed, but not much has changed.

This is a "nest".

It is the place where our ancestors lived.

Except for the water at the deep pool, the rest of the cave is drier and has hidden vents.

If ordinary people could survive here, they would not feel comfortable.

There is a pool of water, and the air humidity is higher.

The humidity is too high for ordinary people, but it is just right for Feng Yi.

Its heavy tail crawled inside the cave, its scales rubbing against the ground and making a sizzling sound.

There are gravels on the ground. I don’t know if they were broken by my aunt or left by my predecessors from a long time ago.

Feng Yi picked up a fist-sized stone, threw it into the air, then grabbed the tip of his tail and whipped it like a baseball.

boom!

The stone was thrown away, hit the cave wall further ahead, and fell to the ground again.

The stone is slightly harder, take it back and study it.

Feeling the slight vibrations on the ground, Feng Yi slipped around the cave.

I couldn't find a direct passage to the outside. I don't know if it was originally there or if it was blocked later.

In the cave, even if a hundred people gather here, it will not seem crowded.

Suitable for refuge, gatherings, and hibernation.

Or is it a special place for molting?

After all, there is a lot of movement during molting, and external interference needs to be prevented. This place is just fine.

However, the physique of the ancestors should not be too weak, right?

Feng Yi yawned, folded his tail and lay on his tail.

It took too much effort to find this place. I'm a little tired, so I need to take a nap first.

I wonder if our ancestors would have dreams while sleeping here?

I want to update 6,000 words a day, but my body is not strong enough...

take it easy.

See you tomorrow.

(There are nine days left in June, guess how many words I can code)
