Chapter 3 Waterfall
At this time, Dongfang Mo was groping and moving forward, following the strange fragrance and the blood spots on the ground, he kept going to the depths.

For a full half a day, this place has already entered the deep forest, and he has already become a little impatient. If he hadn't felt that he was getting closer and closer to the beast a few times, he might have returned home long ago.

"You can still run after being injured!"

Dongfang Mo felt strange. In the past, if a wild animal was injured, it must find a quiet and hidden place to heal the injury. I have never seen an injured animal running around.

In this way, half a day passed again, the sunset had dyed half of the sky red, and Dongfang Mo's stomach was already very hungry, but there was still a trace of greed in his heart that forced him to come to this point.

Just when he was exhausted, he suddenly heard a strange noise in front of him.

He shortened his body, held his breath, and looked forward calmly.

Through the dense branches, the sound of "squeaking" in front can be vaguely heard, it seems to be a river, and listening to this sound, the river should not be too narrow.

So he gently pushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him.

I saw a few tens of feet away, and there was indeed a faint mist of water, but it was not a spacious river, but a waterfall with a height of hundreds of feet. The waterfall was majestic, as if pouring down from the sky.

What is even more incredible is that such a high waterfall falls, but there is no big splash.Judging from this, it must have fallen into a deep ravine, otherwise it would be impossible for only this faint water vapor to disperse.

Thinking of this, three words suddenly appeared in Dongfang Mo's heart.

"Bottomless stream!"

It is said that tens of miles away from the mountains, there is a waterfall with a very high drop, and the place where the waterfall falls is called the bottomless stream.

The bottomless ravine is unfathomable, and people or beasts who fell into it have never survived, so this place has become a famous place of death, and very few people and beasts come here on weekdays.

Dongfang Mo looked around carefully, and found that there was a little space outside the waterfall, so it would not affect his eyesight. Through the faint mist, he could see clearly that there was nothing unusual about the surroundings.

But here, the fragrance floating in the air actually faded.

"I think it should be because the fragrance was washed away by the water, so it became weaker and weaker."

He walked slowly to ten feet away from the waterfall, and felt a burst of coldness when he arrived here.

His nose twitched from time to time, wanting to smell that strange fragrance again.But to my disappointment, the scent has long since disappeared.

"Hmph, after chasing you for nearly a day, Xiaodao doesn't want to return empty-handed. When you get here, you either jump into this stream, or hide behind the waterfall."

Dongfang Mo speculated in his heart.

But if it is said that the beast ran so far, it was just to jump into the stream to seek death, and he would not believe it if he was killed, so it is likely to hide behind the waterfall.

Immediately, he moved his steps carefully and came to a corner of the waterfall, where he could clearly see the waterfall with a drop of hundreds of feet. I suspect that if it hits the body, it will definitely turn into a puddle of meat.

And when he got here, he really saw clearly that the place where the waterfall fell was just the mouth of a huge black hole. The mouth of the ravine was like a giant mouth, with a strong chill, swallowing up this natural path. A silver horse that fell from the nine heavens.

Dongfang Mo swallowed his saliva, moved his footsteps back, away from the bottomless ravine, and then turned around again to look at the waterfall behind him.

"She is petite and injured, so she probably doesn't have the strength to go directly through this waterfall, so there must be an entrance around this waterfall."

Looking around, Dongfang Mo walked to the side of the water and looked up. He saw a cliff. There were no weeds on the cliff, and it looked bare.

Looking up at the many protruding rocks on the cliff, Dongfang Mo touched his chin, a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes, maybe the beast was hiding somewhere on the cliff.

Seeing the steep cliff and the rushing water three feet away, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but the hesitation was replaced by firmness in a moment, and he gritted his teeth:
"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you find tiger cubs."

So he lifted the Taoist robe under his feet, and stretched out his hand to climb on the rock.

This kind of climbing ability has been practiced since childhood, so it is not difficult to climb up the cliffs with many protrusions.

Just be careful not to touch the water on the side, otherwise you will be hit by the water and fall into the bottomless stream, and you will be dead.

While climbing up, while carefully checking the surroundings, Dongfang Mo still has to face the cold wind from top to bottom all the time, that kind of feeling that his life is hanging by a thread is not common.

But just after he climbed to a height of five or six feet, he saw a black hole above the slope. The hole was not big, only half a foot high.And after arriving here, he could smell that faint fragrance again.

Dongfang Mo was overjoyed, and with a flexible body like an ape, he came out of the cave entrance in just three to five breaths of effort.

The hole is well concealed, it is under a protruding rock, which just blocks the water flow.This hole can only be seen from the same height, or from the side of the rock. It is really impossible to find it under the waterfall.

When he came to the bottom of the hole, Dongfang Mo used both hands to jump up easily. The hole less than half a foot high was just right for him in his early ten years old, and he didn't even need to bend down.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can only see the falling waterfall, and the sound of the rumbling water around you can cover it up. It really is a good place to hide.

"You son of a bitch, come out and die."

Dongfang Mo didn't go in in a hurry, but lifted the Taoist robe under his feet and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that the other party would not hear him.

Ordinary hunters who are not cautious, for fear of scaring the snake, how could he be so arrogant.

But he has his own unique experience.When he got here, there was only such a hole. He didn't believe that the hole was still open, and he could escape from the other side.

In addition, the hole is only half a foot in size, so if he can still let the beast escape from here, then he has really lived on a dog for more than ten years.

And he has another purpose in doing this, the hole is pitch black, he can't see his fingers, and he can't figure out what's going on inside, so it's best to be able to lure it out of it.

Although Dongfang Mo seemed arrogant, he was extremely vigilant in his heart, always paying attention to the movement in the cave.

At this time, he was holding the Taoist robe in his left hand, and his right hand was habitually grasping the lapel of his chest.

However, after half a sound, there was no movement in the cave.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo knelt down slowly, and casually picked up a handful of sand.

A hint of slyness flashed in his eyes: "I saw you."

After speaking, he flicked the sand in his hand and threw it into the cave.

"Swish."

The sand hit the rocks, and the sound was like rain hitting plantains.

At the same time, Dongfang Mo frowned, judging from the voice just now, the hole was not deep.

Reaching out his hand, he took out a few yellow paper talismans drawn by himself from his chest. He had dozens of these things, and he naturally had some on him.Then he took out the torch from the cuff, and after blowing vigorously a few times, he easily ignited the yellow paper talisman.

With a twist of his finger and another flick, he easily ejected the yellow paper talisman, shooting straight into the depths.

It is not an easy move to be able to eject a thin yellow paper talisman for such a long distance.

But in the final analysis, this is just a show, it looks okay, it doesn't have much power, and it is also a common trick for deceiving people on weekdays.

And just as the yellow paper talisman turned into a burst of fire and shot out, a sharp cry suddenly sounded in the cave.

"squeak"

The voice was a bit like a mouse, but it was sharper.At this moment, the voice was full of panic, as if he was extremely afraid of the flames.

At the same time, Dongfang Mo barely saw a thin figure rushing out of the hole by the firelight of the yellow paper talisman. The speed was several times faster than that of the spirit sculpture.

With just a pounce, he was already approaching Dongfang Momian's gate.

How could he have imagined that the speed of this beast was so fast, he had never seen it in his life, and at this moment he only had time to block his face with his hands.

"hiss!"

Severe pain came suddenly, Dongfang Mo's arm was bitten by him, and he could feel two sharp fangs piercing into his arm.

His heart swayed, he was originally a desperate temperament, and naturally he was unwilling to suffer at the moment of pain, so he grabbed the little beast with his remaining hand.

But when I stretched out my hand to touch it, I felt a scorching pain, and the little beast also let out a sharp cry.

It turned out that Dongfang Mo grabbed the little beast's wound in a panic, and dark red blood flowed all over his hands. The hot feeling was like putting his hand into a boiling oil pan.

"what!"

Dongfang Mo couldn't stand the piercing pain, and let out a painful growl.

But this aroused his bloodiness instead, he directly inserted his finger into the body of the little beast, then the rear wheel got up, and slammed it hard on the ground.

"Squeak..."

The little beast screamed in pain, and instantly let go of its fangs.

Dongfang Mo was overjoyed, stretched out his bitten hand, and firmly held down the beast.

And at this moment, he finally saw the appearance of this beast clearly.

This is a small beast the size of a wild cat, but covered in dark green.

Slender claws, pointed ears, and a pair of fleshy wings on its back.But at this time, his whole body was covered with wounds, dark red blood was flowing, and even white bones could be seen in some places, and one of the fleshy wings on his back was broken off.

The little beast was seriously injured and was already at the end of its rope, so it could only struggle frantically in Dongfang Mo's hands.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo snorted coldly, his left hand was already numb from the burn, and he lost all feeling.

He picked up the fire that hadn't been extinguished on the ground, and took advantage of the momentum to stab the little beast.

"I will also give you a taste of being burned."

"Squeak!"

Seeing this, the little beast uttered an unprecedented cry of panic, and the fear in its eyes could be seen at a glance.

However, its body was tightly restrained by Dongfang Mo, so it could only struggle needlessly.

In his terrified gaze, Huozhezi, glowing with sparks, instantly touched the blood of the wound.

However, the next moment, Dongfang Mo's eyes widened suddenly, and he withdrew his hands as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
