Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 147: The Strangeness of the Quhe River, the Cave

In this night so quiet that you can almost hear your heartbeat, a hazy moonlight covers the earth and everything in the darkness is immersed in an eerie silence.

However, on the bank of Qu River, an extremely subtle sound of surging water was heard quietly, and then a creepy and strange scene appeared.

I saw a group of fish slowly climbing up to the shore from the winding river as if they were receiving some strange guidance or call.

Their scales gleamed an eerie cold light in the moonlight, and the movements of their fins were stiff and mechanical.

Their eyes were glowing red. They were clearly just fish, but now they revealed a strange ferocity.

These fish were gathered together, densely surrounding a large rock in front of them.

They all raised their heads high, facing the big rock, and opened and closed their mouths, as if trying to absorb the essence from it.

These fish have a very faint demonic aura, and it is this demonic aura that makes these fish in a special state that is neither demonic nor non-demon-like.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged slowly from the stone.

The figure seemed to climb out from the dark abyss, carrying with it a chilling and eerie aura.

It stood quietly on the stone, like a king dominating the darkness, holding high in its hand a black object whose shape could not be seen clearly.

As the figure raised the thing in his hand, an inky black demonic aura surged out from the black thing like a tide.

Wherever the evil spirit goes, the air seems to be frozen, making people feel an irresistible sense of oppression.

The fishes surrounding below were extremely excited. They twisted their bodies wildly and opened their mouths desperately, greedily absorbing the rich evil spirit.

There was a fanatical light flashing in their eyes, as if they had completely lost their minds and the only thing in their eyes was absorbing the demonic energy.

Li Zhi looked at the strange scene in front of him with shock.

He almost couldn't control his breath just now. Fortunately, he reacted in time and held his breath, otherwise he would have almost exposed his whereabouts.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and stared at the figure on the stone.

The figure looked particularly eerie and strange under the hazy moonlight, giving Li Zhi the feeling that it was definitely not a living person.

The eerie and sinister aura emanating from his body slowly emanated outwards.

"A ghost?"

Li Zhi muttered silently in his heart, but it didn't feel like it.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and he thought to himself: Could it be that stone god?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Zhi's eyes lit up. If it was really a stone god, then it would be really something that he had searched for everywhere for, but it would be found without any effort.

However, in just a moment, the excitement in his heart was replaced by doubt.

Li Zhi was still a little uncertain. He was worried that if it wasn't the Stone God, once he took action now, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the real Stone God.

This made Li Zhi a little hesitant.

Just when Li Zhi was hesitating and struggling, the figure standing on the stone seemed to have completed the task and put away the things in his hand.

The fish below all had a look of longing and reluctance in their eyes, as if they were a group of hungry children watching their delicious food being taken away.

Seeing this, the figure said in a low voice: "Back off, the master's plan is almost coming to an end. If you work harder, the master will naturally help you embark on the path of becoming a monster."

The sound of that figure was extremely unpleasant, like two stones rubbing against each other. It was sharp and piercing, causing pain in the eardrums.

After hearing what the figure said, these fish, like fanatical believers, slowly retreated back into the river.

The river water began to ripple again, and as the fish returned to the curved river, the strange scene just now seemed to have never happened.

Li Zhi, who was hiding in the dark, was glad that he had restrained himself from taking action. If he had taken action, he would have alerted the enemy.

According to what the figure said just now, there is another master above them. This master must be the stone god that Li Zhi is looking for.

When the figure slowly came down from the stone, the bright moonlight shone on him, and Li Zhi suddenly discovered that the figure was made entirely of mud.

After it got down from the stone, it turned around without hesitation and walked straight in one direction.

Li Zhi's eyes focused, that direction was exactly the direction of Huaishan!

Li Zhi did not rush to take action, but waited quietly.

Suddenly, a mosquito that was originally resting on his shoulder flew up quietly without attracting anyone's attention, and followed closely behind the clay figure in front.

 …

The mountain road in Huaishan is rugged, winding and very difficult to walk on.

However, the clay figure seemed to be very familiar with the yam, and it seemed to have lived here for a long time.

These rugged mountain roads are as easy as walking on flat ground for him, and he even knows how to take shortcuts by taking small paths.

If Li Zhi had not sent the mosquito demon to follow, but had gone to follow himself, there would probably be only two situations now, either he would be exposed, or he would be lost.

The clay man moved quickly through the mountains, and soon, it finally came to a hidden cave.

If it weren't for the clay man leading the way, Li Zhi would never have been able to find this cave.

Not to mention the winding mountain road, which was like a maze and made people dizzy, even when he got there, Li Zhi could hardly notice that there was a cave here.

The cave is covered by dense weeds, trees and stones. It is not known whether it is man-made or natural. It seems that the cave is deliberately hidden.

The weeds were overgrown and swaying high and low.

The trees were lush and their branches and leaves were intertwined. The stones, some large and some small, were piled up in an orderly manner, covering the entrance of the cave tightly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find that there was a cave hidden here.

I saw the clay man push away the weeds and dive into the hidden cave.

At this time, when Li Zhi's mosquito demon was about to follow in, he was blocked by a strange force.

The mosquito demon tried several times outside the cave, but was unable to break through the barrier of this force and enter the cave. This made it extremely anxious, and it kept circling around the cave.

At this time, Li Zhi also received the thoughts and vision transmitted by the mosquito demon, and he clearly perceived this situation.

Faced with the current situation, Li Zhi could only let the mosquito demon wait on the side while he calmed down and thought about how to deal with it.

At this moment, Li Zhi had two choices. One was to wait quietly for the people inside to come out.

However, Li Zhi saw the Stone God's caution from the clay man. Li Zhi felt that such a person who hid and secretly manipulated others to do things would not leave the cave easily.

The long wait may have other variables, and it is unknown how long we will have to wait.

Another option is for Li Zhi to go in personally.

However, since the outside of the cave was isolated by the restrictions set up by the Stone God, it would not be easy for Li Zhi to enter even if he went there in person, and there was a great possibility that he would alarm the Stone God inside.

Once the stone god is alarmed, the consequences will be disastrous.

After all, as Li Zhi explored more, he felt more and more that this stone god was not simple.

Although his injuries have basically healed now, his strength has not yet returned to its peak. Li Zhi is a little scared to face such an opponent rashly.
