Chapter 8 Stone Beads

The first update today, there will be noon!

-----

He looked pale, gritted his teeth and stood up, looked around, and found that this was a small natural cave. The sun shone through the entrance of the cave, and the corpses of birds and beasts were everywhere.

On the wall behind him, there was a black hole the size of a fist, and it was so dark that it was not visible how deep it was. After a brief analysis, he vaguely got an answer. The sudden suction force just now was obviously transmitted from the small hole. The corpses of birds on the ground should have been sucked in and fell to death like him.

The suction force should have appeared at irregular intervals. It happened that he suddenly appeared when he fell down, which saved his life. Wang Lin endured the pain in his right arm and was about to walk out of the cave. Suddenly, the corpse on the ground was rushing backwards. Wang Lin hurriedly rolled to the corner without saying a word.

At this moment, an unimaginable huge suction force appeared from the small hole on the wall. The corpses of birds and beasts on the ground were rumbling and were constantly sucked into the small hole. Some bones were larger in area, as if they were stuck to the wall, blocking the small hole.

Despite this, the suction was still fierce. At this time, a bird was sucked in from the outside cave entrance and hit the wall with a bang at an extremely fast speed, and blood splattered everywhere.

About an hour later, the suction force disappeared. Wang Lin looked at the corpse of the bird on the ground in horror. He did not move his body, but sat quietly in place, calculating the time in his mind.

After half an hour, the suction force appeared again. After such a cycle, Wang Lin mastered the rules. This strange suction force lasted for one hour, and it appeared again half an hour after each stop.

Taking advantage of the disappearance of suction, Wang Lin hurriedly came to the entrance of the cave with pain and looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was a jungle below, and the ground was vaguely visible, and the cliff was extremely steep. He was injured in his arm and could not climb at all. It was about dozens of feet deep from the bottom of the cliff. If he jumped down, he would definitely fall to death.

The package containing the food on his body was also placed on the top of the mountain and was not taken down. Now the food was the only thing to solve. Wang Lin pondered for a little while, calculated that the suction force was reduced, and quickly retreated back to the cave and sat down against the corner of the wall.

The day passed quickly and it was getting darker. Wang Lin clearly felt that his body was slowly weakening, his arms were completely numb and unconscious. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It is a dead end to be trapped here, but jumping off the cliff is even more of a way out, alas."

He looked at the bloody corpse of birds in the corner of the wall not far away, he hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and picked it up, put it beside his mouth. A fishy smell came to his face. Wang Lin sighed lightly, and without saying a word, he put it in his mouth and ate the raw meat.

He swallowed it without chewing it, his stomach contracted and rolled and surged warm currents. He quickly ate half of the bird like a wolf. The feeling of nausea couldn't stop surging. Wang Lin quickly stood up and took a big breath, then he pressed down.

He still put the leftover bird corpse aside. Wang Lin sat down against the wall, thinking a lot in his mind, thinking of his parents, thinking of his fourth uncle, thinking of his relatives' mocking faces, and thinking of the ruthless gaze of the middle-aged man in black in Hengyue School.

In a daze, he suddenly stared at the half-eating bird corpse beside him, and grabbed it without blinking, and looked carefully. He saw a red bead the size of a baby's fist among the half-brow corpse. Wang Lin picked out the bead and was very surprised.

How could there beads in the bird's body? He was moved and thought that he had seen a mythical essay called Shanhai Jing in the village, which introduced that if many animals live more than age, a treasure called inner alchemy will form in their bodies.

If this treasure is eaten by someone, it will be extremely powerful and prolong life and even resurrect the broken limbs.

When he saw this description, he was quite disbelief and secretly ridiculed him, but now he even saw the immortals, and he couldn't help but believe some of the myths and legends on the Shanhai Jing in his heart.

Wang Lin's heart was beating wildly. If this bead was really the inner alchemy described in the Shanhai Jing, then if it was eaten, wouldn't the injury be healed immediately? It would be even easier to leave here. Even if you worship the immortal sect, it would be a big problem. At least in the perseverance test, you will definitely pass.

But the bead felt hard and not like an edible thing. He frowned between his eyebrows and wiped it clean with a cloth strip on his body, restoring his true colors.

This is a gray stone bead with five white clouds carved on it, which looks quite old. Wang Lin was very disappointed and bit with his teeth unwillingly. Finally, he touched the stone bead and smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Iron Zhu, you are too delusional. There is no such coincidence in this world. The bird that falls to death in front of you will have an inner elixir."

He sighed. At this time, it was dark outside, and with deep fatigue, he hugged in the corner and gradually fell asleep. The stone bead was casually placed by him on the side of the beast bone.

It was autumn now, and the earth was dissipating very quickly, especially in the mountains, even more so. A hint of coolness kept pouring into Wang Lin's body. In his sleep, he hugged his body tightly, and the night passed quickly.

The next morning, the sunrise sunlight floated out of the cave and shone in the cave. A trace of shiny dew was secreted from the stone beads beside Wang Lin. As the dew gradually increased, it slowly flowed to the animal bones.

After a while, Wang Lin woke up and his arms were still swollen. Not only did he show any signs of improvement, but he became more and more serious. Wang Lin sat on the ground, feeling melancholy.

"Are you going to be trapped here in this life?" He murmured to himself, his eyes turned, and suddenly he found dew on the animal bones beside him. He felt thirsty, so he carefully picked up the animal bones and put the accumulated dew on his mouth and licked them clean.

The dew was so sweet that he drank it well. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his whole body felt very warm after drinking it.

Especially the wounded part of his arm, there was a feeling of sourness and itch. The swelling actually subsided. Wang Lin rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. He was surprised to find that his arm was indeed somewhat swelling. He thought intently and immediately looked for other animal bones around him, but unfortunately none of them had dew on them.

While he was wondering, he suddenly looked at the stone beads beside him and looked at them intently. He saw drops of slight dew on it. He recalled that the animal bones with dew just now were right next to the stone beads. He gently picked up the stone beads, and his heart couldn't stop beating quickly. He hesitated for a moment and put them on his arm without saying a word, and evenly applied the dew on it to the swollen position.

A hint of coolness came from his arm. Wang Lin stared at his arm without blinking. After a long time, his eyes showed joy, and the swelling of his arms dissipated magically. He waved his slightest, and although it was still a little painful, it was fine.
