The two largest skins found were brown bear skins, and the other slightly smaller ones were wolf skins, fox skins, and suede skins.

Suede fibers are dense and tough, highly resistant to wear and tear, and have a long service life. They are suitable for making jackets, pants, socks, and boots, and can even protect against scorpions.

Cheng Yuntao was very happy with this unexpected harvest. As long as the animal furs were cleaned and the odor was removed, they could be used to sew winter clothes to help them better resist the cold outside and survive the long winter.

After putting down the warm fur in his hand, Cheng Yuntao walked to another corner holding the fire starter.

There were two withered skeletons entangled in a twisted posture. The scattered cracks between the bones and the weapons dropped on the ground made it easy to tell that they had a conflict over something before, which led to a fierce confrontation.

According to Cheng Yuntao's guess, this cave should be a temporary resting place for the two hunters when they went up the mountain to hunt. After they cleaned the prey, they temporarily stored it in this cave. When they reached a certain quantity, they would take it down the mountain to sell it.

It is very likely that they had a conflict during the distribution of prey, and fought each other to ensure that they would get the greatest benefits. In the end, both sides were injured and no one was able to get out of the cave.

Until Cheng Yuntao discovered it again and took advantage of the opportunity.

Cheng Yuntao picked up the weapons they dropped on the ground and put them in a corner. In these mountains, hunting tools are also indispensable. Now that they are ready, they must be used well.

As for these two seniors... since she has already taken advantage of them, she naturally cannot ignore them. She will find a good place to dig a grave and bury them both properly.

However, since these two people did not get along well during their lifetime, it would take some more effort to dig two pits and bury them separately to avoid them quarreling in the depths.

After making a plan in mind, Cheng Yuntao stood up and continued to walk inside with the fire starter in hand.

This seems to be a longitudinal cave. In addition to the wide area in the front, there is also a small path connecting to the back.

The further in you go, the narrower the road becomes. Cheng Yuntao feels like he is looking for the Peach Blossom Spring, but he doesn't know when to find the source.

When people are in a dark environment, their perception of time will gradually become blurred.

Even though she now has a bright enough light source to illuminate her way forward, the darkness is still like a big net, surrounding her from all directions, airtight and making her feel uneasy.

Cheng Yuntao suddenly felt a little regretful. She didn't know if she was too reckless and barged in alone without knowing the situation.

She had been walking close to the wall all the way, so it was not impossible that she had accidentally turned a few corners. What if she couldn't find the original road when she returned and got lost?

Her heart, beating faster due to nervousness, made a noticeable thumping sound. Cheng Yuntao swallowed her saliva, which passed through her dry throat. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to muster up the courage to move forward.

We have already advanced ninety-nine steps. What a pity it would be if we just miss that final step.

As she walked, Cheng Yuntao's heart became calmer, because she intuitively felt that she was about to find the source.

In this narrow stone path, besides her heartbeat like a drum, there was also the faint sound of flowing water.

The further you go, the more obvious the sound of flowing water becomes, which means there is likely a flowing water source at the other end of the cave.

Although it was a bit stuffy inside the stone wall, she was still able to breathe smoothly. This showed that the other end of the cave was not sealed. Only when both sides were connected could enough oxygen flow.

After a careful analysis based on the actual situation, Cheng Yuntao wiped the sweat from his palms, quickened his pace, and continued to walk deeper along the stone wall.

As Cheng Yuntao went deeper, the originally narrow stone wall suddenly became wider, and a ray of light appeared in the dim vision.

An excited smile appeared on Cheng Yuntao's face, and she quickened her pace and jogged faster and faster until she reached the brightest point.

"Crash-"

The scene before her completely exceeded Cheng Yuntao's previous imagination and shocked her to the extreme.

A magnificent waterfall cascades down from a height, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, the sound of water roaring and majestic. The sunlight penetrates the mist, forming rainbows, the beauty is breathtaking.

Below the waterfall is a naturally formed valley, which is generally concave, with lush green grass spreading across the valley.

All the fatigue and confusion drifted away with the fresh air. Cheng Yuntao took a deep breath, and her heart was filled with unprecedented tranquility and joy.

With this valley, the area where they can move around has been further expanded. Although the cave is nice, living there for a long time will inevitably make them feel bored and depressed.

People need to move around in places without ceilings regularly to relax their mood and maintain a more stable state.

If they leave the cave and move around outside, they need to be careful to cover their tracks. This valley solves this problem very well and is their secret base.

Besides, there is abundant water and grass here, which is suitable for the growth of many crops. Maybe after searching for a while, you can get some unexpected gains.

Thinking of his younger brother who was left at the entrance of the cave to watch, Cheng Yuntao didn't dare to waste too much time here, and quickly turned around and retreated along the way he came.

The return journey was much faster than the previous exploration, and she quickly returned to the original cave.

After making sure there was no danger inside, Cheng Yuntao returned to the cave entrance and used a small hoe to remove all the vines at once.

"Xiao Zhu, there are a lot of good things in there, come in and take a look!"

Seeing that his sister was doing well, Cheng Jingzhu, who was watching outside the cave, breathed a sigh of relief and came forward excitedly.

"What good stuff is this? Let me see! Let me see!"

After clearing the vines at the entrance, the originally dark cave instantly became much brighter. Although it was not as bright as outside, at least one could see normally.

"Wow, this cave is so big! It's much bigger than our little house. There's even furniture in it! Could it be that someone lived here before?"

Cheng Jingzhu was very interested in everything around him, but he didn't dare to touch anything. He just stood there and looked around.

"Yes, the previous owner is there."

Looking at her brother's cute appearance, Cheng Yuntao wanted to tease him and pointed to the corner. Cheng Jingzhu didn't understand and looked in the direction she pointed, but saw two white skeletons.

He was just a teenager now, and had never seen anything like this before. He was immediately frightened and stood there screaming in fear.

"Ahhhhhh! There's a dead person!!"
