Chapter 1712 An unexpected portal
After circling Xicheng Mountain for so long, Zhou Wen finally saw the small hand pattern.
However, there was no entrance to the mountain where the hand pattern was located. Instead, there was a bare rock wall with a fist-sized depression on it. Because the nearby mountain walls were uneven, the depression looked inconspicuous.
"Junior brother, are you really not planning to go into the mountains? I think that although the teacher is a little strange, he won't cheat us. Besides, the old guy has also been in to take a look. You know how sharp the old guy's eyes are. He said there is no problem, so I think it shouldn't be a big problem." Liuyun muttered aside.
Zhou Wen ignored him, took out his cell phone and tapped the small hand pattern on the mountain wall behind Liuyun. The phone immediately displayed a prompt that the copy was being downloaded.
"What's so good about taking pictures of this broken mountain? Just tell me the truth, do you want to go into the mountain or not?" Liuyun was very depressed.
"Look, this mountain wall is a little different." Zhou Wen said, looking at the mountain wall.
If there were no small hand pattern, Zhou Wen would not have noticed anything unusual here, but the small hand pattern was carved here, so it didn't make sense that there wouldn't be any special places near the mountain wall.
So after repeated observation, Zhou Wen discovered that this mountain wall was indeed a bit special.
"What's the difference?" Liuyun was stunned and couldn't help but look at the mountain wall carefully.
"The protrusions and depressions on this mountain wall are a bit strange." Zhou Wen said as he looked.
"What's so strange? Why don't I see any difference? The terrain here is like this, all formed naturally, with no traces of artificial excavation." Liuyun was a little puzzled, he didn't see any problem.
"If I'm not mistaken, the protrusions and depressions here are arranged according to some mysterious formation. It seems to have no pattern, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge involved." Ever since Zhou Wen watched the battle between Di Ting and Zi Wei Xingjun, he has had a deeper understanding of the Great Zhoutian Star Formation and he really knows a little about this aspect.
Although he didn't know what the order of these protrusions and depressions was called, some of them were very similar to the Great Zhoutian Star Array, so it was not difficult to draw inferences from one instance to another.
"You also understand formations?" Liuyun looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
"I know a little bit. Let me take a look. If my guess is correct, there should be another mystery here." Zhou Wen said, and reached out to press one of the protrusions.
As a result, nothing happened. The protruding stone was not pressed down by him, and no unusual changes occurred nearby.
"Haha, little junior brother, you don't have to be embarrassed. People make mistakes and horses stumble. It's all normal. Next time, don't show off if you haven't learned well..." He was very happy because he finally got a chance to make fun of Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen ignored him and pressed a few other protrusions and depressions in a certain order.
"Junior brother, the formation is derived from the Book of Changes. It is a specialized knowledge that cannot be learned by just casually understanding it. If you really want to learn it, I recommend you to go to the Zhang family. They are good at this..." Liuyun was talking happily, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.
After Zhou Wen took the last shot, he heard a click and a hole suddenly appeared on the mountain wall.
The entrance to the hole was not very big, only slightly larger than a dog hole. People inside could only crawl, and a normal person could not even stand up.
"Oh my god, it really exists. Could this be one of the nine gates of Kunlun? But this gate is too small. It's difficult for people to get in and out. Can the creatures in Kunlun Mountain get out?" Liuyun widened his eyes.
"I don't know if we can reach the place you mentioned by going in from here." Zhou Wen said as he looked at the cave entrance.
"I'm afraid no one knows about this mountain gate. We don't know what will happen if we go in from here. Let's not waste time. If you want to go in, then go through the gate I mentioned." Liuyun didn't want to take risks. Kunlun Mountain was not a place where one could take risks casually.
Zhou Wen had no intention of going in from here. Like Liuyun, he was unwilling to risk his life.
Anyway, the mobile copy has already been downloaded, so I can just explore it slowly in the game later.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the cave entrance, as if something was rubbing against the stone.
"What's that sound?" Zhou Wen looked at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that there was no obstruction at the entrance, but he could only see one or two meters inside. Looking further inside, he could not see anything and only felt pitch black.
Darkness is not an obstacle to Zhou Wen's vision. He can see clearly even in the darkest weather. It is not just because it is dark.
"It sounds like someone is grinding a rock with sandpaper." Liuyun listened for a while and then continued, "The sound seems to be getting closer and closer to the cave entrance. Is something about to come out?"
"What could it be? A creature that can break the ban?" Zhou Wen was a little curious. He stepped back for a while, his eyes still fixed on the cave entrance.
Liuyun retreated further than Zhou Wen. If something really came out of Kunlun Mountain, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying thing.
The stronger the dimensional field itself is, the more difficult it is for the dimensional creatures inside to break the ban. It is scary to think about the creatures that can break the ban from Kunlun Mountain.
The friction sound coming from the cave became louder and louder. Zhou Wen thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what the sound was. He had never seen any animal make such a sound when crawling out.
It sounded like someone was polishing a stone.
Not long after, the sound of stone grinding became more intense. This time it didn't sound like someone was grinding stone, but more like someone was cutting stone.
That kind of thin and sharp sound is very uncomfortable when it pierces the eardrum.
"Hearing the noise, it seems that a big guy is about to come out. Let's not look for trouble and close the door quickly." Liuyun retreated a distance. If there was any disturbance, he would probably be the first to run away.
"We're all going to come out anyway, so it's not too late to see what it is before leaving." Zhou Wen said this as he backed away.
The two of them hid behind a big rock in the distance, secretly looking in the direction of the cave entrance. Now he was really curious about what would crawl out.
"Junior brother, do you think there will be something like a chainsaw crawling out from in there?" Liuyun looked nervous, but he kept talking.
Zhou Wen was about to say something when he saw a hazy shadow appear in the cave, and he couldn't see clearly what it was.
The things in the cave seemed to have walked out of thick fog. At first, only a little outline could be seen, but as he got closer and closer to the cave entrance, the shape gradually became clearer.
"What is this?" Finally, Zhou Wen and Liuyun saw what the thing that crawled out of the cave looked like, but they still couldn't recognize what it was.
