Chapter 0394 The Mysterious Cave
Sou!
A rope shadow burst out, plunging headlong into the cliff face that was nearly ninety degrees vertical. Ning Tao grabbed the tail end of the medicine collection rope, jumped up, and with a movement of his mind, the medicine collection rope quickly shortened, and flew to the rock wall with him. When he paused again, he was already on a cliff a hundred meters above the ground. Then he kicked his foot and fell into a hole in the cliff with a rope.
This is the beauty of the medicine collection rope, the exclusive magic weapon of the owner of the Tianwai Clinic. With it in hand, there is no cliff he can't go, and there is no spiritual material on the cliff that he can't collect.
Ning Tao stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the cave, the cave was filled with a mist, but he could only see a section, and it was pitch black in the depths, and he couldn't see what was going on inside. Streams of wind blew out of the cave, and even he felt cold.
Boom!
There was a knocking sound on the rock wall.
It was Jiang Hao who threw a stone and reminded Ning Tao that it was time to pick them up.
Ning Tao retracted his gaze, turned around and looked down at Jiang Hao and Qing Chai, who were still under the cliff, and then waved his hand and threw the medicine rope down.
The rope struck headlong into the ground, and a rock was suddenly shattered by it, scattering fragments in all directions.
Qing Chai and Jiang Hao grabbed the medicine rope, and Jiang Hao tugged on the rope. After all, at a height of more than 100 meters, and it was dark night, she felt that Ning Tao couldn't see her and Qing Chai clearly at all. It is true that this is the case, without using the hope technique, Ning Tao really can't see Qing Chai and Jiang Hao below, but he felt the power of Jiang Hao's rope, and he followed and collected the medicine rope.
The medicine rope was quickly recovered into Ning Tao's hand, and Qing Chai and Jiang Hao flew up like a rocket, and then crashed headlong into Ning Tao's arms.
Ning Tao stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang Hao and Qing Chai's waists to help them eliminate the inertia on their bodies. This time, Jiang Hao didn't freeze his arm.
"Let's go inside. Ning Tao let go of Jiang Hao and Qing Chai's waists, and walked towards the cave while collecting the rope. After putting away the rope, he put the rope into the small medicine box, and then took out a tactical flashlight from the small medicine box.
A snowy beam of light shone into the depths of the cave, and the vision of the three of them suddenly brightened, and the environment hidden in the dark depths was also clearly presented in front of the three of them.
The river that flows out of the dark depths occupies one-third of the cavern's floor, and the widest part of the river is about ten meters, and the narrowest part is five or six meters wide. The water of the river is crystal clear, and the stones and sand in the riverbed can be clearly seen through the water. However, as the three of them went deeper, the water in the river became deeper and deeper, and gradually the stones and sand in the riverbed could no longer be seen. The river is getting wider and wider, from the first five or six meters, ten meters to the end, it has become a reservoir!
The walkable land on both sides of the river stretches to the left and right, but the terrain is becoming more complex and more difficult to walk.
"Left or right?" Jiang Hao asked aloud when he walked to the gap where the "reservoir" flowed out of the river.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at what Xuntu Yan says. Ning Tao squatted down, opened the small medicine box, took out the earth-seeking inkstone, and then poured thirty milliliters of ink into the earth-seeking inkstone. While waiting for the inkstone to give guidance, he bit his finger and drew a blood lock on the rock wall.
This cave is also a huge, complex karst cave with complex terrain as far as the situation is currently seen, it is impossible to explore it all at once, there is an aura here, which is suitable for ordinary cultivators and demon warriors, so leaving a blood lock here has become a necessary choice.
Ning Tao drew the blood lock, and Qing Chai originally wanted to suck his finger on Ning Tao, but when he saw Jiang Hao standing beside him, he suppressed this thought alive.
Ning Tao put his bitten finger into the water of the Dihe River and soaked it, and when he picked it up again, the bleeding had stopped, and the wound was healing quickly, and there would be no scars.
In the earth-seeking plate, the ripples of ink surged in the direction of the center, and the ripples trembled very violently.
Ning Tao said excitedly: "There are really treasures in this place!"
Qing chased and glanced at the earth-finding plate: "It points to the middle of the reservoir, I'll go into the water to explore." As she spoke, she was about to undress.
Ning Tao grabbed her: "Don't be impulsive, let's go around and take a look before making a decision." If you go down rashly, if there is any evil demon underwater, it will not be very dangerous. ”
Jiang Hao said: "Yes, let's go around and take a look first, if I need to go into the water, I will freeze the water first, and I don't need to take off my clothes." ”
Qing Chase: "......"
Ning Tao handed over the tactical flashlight to Jiang Hao to play, and he walked forward from the left side with the earth-seeking inkstone in his hand. The reservoir is larger than expected, and the cave has changed into an oval shape as it changes. The ripples of ink in the earth-seeking inkstone continued to shift as he deepened, always pointing in the direction they were originally pointing.
After walking for more than a kilometer, a corpse suddenly appeared in a pile of rubble. The clothes on his body were almost weathered, and only a small part remained. His flesh was also dried, and he was turned into a skin-covered corpse. Only the hair is still well preserved, and at a glance it can be seen that it is a blonde Caucasians. This is also evidenced by his size, he is very tall in front of him, at least 1.9 meters tall.
Jiang Hao said: "Could it be that Fan Huaying said that he was a member of the Western expedition?"
Ning Tao said: "Very likely. ”
The three of them walked over and found two rusty oxygen cylinders in the rubble, as well as diving goggles and frogman shoes, but they were almost weathered.
The equipment leads to a dark-shrouded reservoir with only one explorer on the shore, and the rest will dive underwater and not come back up?
Jiang Hao searched the body, she dug out a wallet from her tattered pocket, the wallet was rotten beyond recognition, she carefully opened it, and there was a pile of rotten paper inside, colorful and colorful.
"It's the dollar, it's supposed to be the Americans. Jiang Hao said, she pulled out the rotten money paper, and finally pulled out a gadget in the money clip. She took one look, and suddenly threw it away as if it had been pricked.
"What is it?" Qing Chai said curiously, "Why did you throw it away?"
Jiang Hao's face was full of embarrassment: "Don't ask." ”
It was a condom.
Ning Tao said: "There is only some change, and there is no identity information, which is in line with the style of the Black Fire Company." Their agents come out on a mission and don't carry anything with them that could identify them. ”
Jiang Hao said movingly: "The agents of the Black Fire Company, aren't they the people who attacked the botanical garden of the Blueprint Biotechnology Company?
Ning Tao said: "I don't know, this is just a guess on my part, maybe not, maybe it is, but no matter what the result is, one thing is for sure is that these people are definitely not simple." ”
Qing Chai said, "I'll go into the water and see." Without waiting for Jiang Hao to speak, she added, "I don't take off my clothes." ”
Jiang Hao looked very calm, but there was a little embarrassment on his face.
Ning Tao thought for a moment, and then said: "What Fan Huaying said is that a team of people came in, but they didn't go out. But there's only one body here, and the rest of the people are all dead underwater? Don't think about going down yet, there's definitely something in this reservoir. The more precious the treasure, the more likely it is that something fierce will guard it. ”
Qing Chai was a little depressed: "What should I do then?"
Ning Tao said: "Let's go deeper and take a look." ”
The three of them continued along the edge of the reservoir.
After a certain distance, the reservoir slowly narrowed, and Jiang Hao used a tactical flashlight to illuminate the cliff at the end. The rock wall was like a sluice gate that cut through the reservoir, but it was clearly not a sluice gate, it had many holes. The holes weren't big, and the largest was only half a foot in diameter. If there was water in the back, it would have seeped in a long time ago. However, in terms of the diameter of those holes, a person cannot penetrate them, not even a child.
Jiang Hao moved the tactical flashlight to the opposite side of the reservoir, and at a glance he could see the opposite rock wall and the rocky "road" that could be walked under the rock wall, extending in the direction of the entrance of the cave.
"That's it, there's nothing. Qing Chai said depressedly: "It seems that you can only know if you go down and have a look." ”
Ning Tao looked at the earth-seeking inkstone in his hand, and the ink ripples in the earth-seeking inkstone still pointed to the center of the reservoir. He had a headache in his heart, it seemed that it was really possible to know what treasures were hidden here only by diving to the bottom of the reservoir, but the terrifying legends of the Blackhorn tribe and the expedition team that died here made him hesitate. Qing Chai is a snake demon, and he can dive in the quagmire, let alone diving, but he doesn't worry about letting her go down to adventure.
Ning Tao left a blood lock on the "gate" at the bottom of the cave before he said, "Let's go back from the other side and go to the corresponding position of the corpse first." ”
The three of them walked back from the other side of the reservoir, and the terrain along the way was still rocky, but there was nothing but ordinary stones. The earth-seeking inkstone has always locked the direction of the center of the reservoir, and the closer it is to the middle of the reservoir, the stronger the ripples will fluctuate.
About half an hour later, the three of them came to the middle of the reservoir, and Jiang Hao used the eucalyptus water and electricity to shine on the opposite side, but he couldn't see the corpse. As far as the footsteps measured, the circumference of the reservoir in the belly of the mountain is at least three kilometers, and the diameter of the middle section is at least 1.5 kilometers. At such a distance, it is impossible for a tactical flashlight to shine on that corpse.
"Brother Ning, do you have an idea?" Qing asked, she seemed to be eager to go down and see what treasures there were, and then dig them out for Ning Tao. She always wanted to give Ning Tao the best, including herself.
Ning Tao said: "Let me think about it again. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden noise overhead.
Jiang Hao hurriedly raised the tactical flashlight and shone it above the cave.
Suddenly, a dark shadow crashed down like a dark cloud.
