"Master Xu, there seems to be something next to you!"

"I saw it too, a black shadow!"

"Damn, it can't be a poisonous snake, right?"

"It shouldn't be, didn't Xu Ye try it before, there was no movement!"

Shadow?

Chen Xu couldn't help but be a little stunned, if it weren't for the barrage on the transparent light curtain in front of him to remind him, he really didn't know that a creature was approaching.

After surviving and surviving in the wilderness so many times, it can be said that he has cultivated a very keen senses.

But now, he didn't even feel anything!

So, he immediately turned his head.

In the next second, a black object did appear in his line of sight.

But this black object is really a little too small.

It is only about 6~7cm in size, with black skin, a small body, a long tail, and limbs and legs that are like suction cups, which are tightly glued to the wall.

That's right, it's a gecko!

The reason why the audience misunderstands it as a poisonous snake is that the torch stretches its shadow very long, and when it is mixed with the body, it looks very long.

"No wonder I didn't find it, it turned out to be a gecko. ”

Chen Xu pointed at him and said with a slight smile: "Since it can survive in the cave, it means that there is no poisonous gas here, and we can leave with confidence!"

Many people were stunned for a moment:

"Damn, Xu Ye actually let it go!"

"Gecko: Fortunately, I'm dark, Xu Ye didn't see me!"

"2333, that gecko doesn't move, it is estimated that it was frightened by Xu Ye!"

When the audience sent the barrage, Chen Xu hung the sapper shovel on his belt, then took out the metal detector from his backpack, and used the detector to detect the surrounding environment as he walked.

The metal detector in his hand was specially asked by Lin Kun from the archaeological research team of Beijing University, and the hand-held AJ12 treasure finder produced by the American Bounty Hunter Company is also one of the most advanced portable archaeological instruments in the world.

It has a simple shape and is composed of three parts: a yellow handheld monitor, a silver retractable metal rod, and a matte black toroidal magnetic field probe at the top.

Chen Xu placed it next to the rock wall, and released the magnetic field detection wave through the probe, and as long as there was metal nearby, the display would emit a prompt sound.

A minute later, through the dim light of the fire, he finally found the long "silk threads" that he had seen in the night vision mode of the drone before.

"Damn! The female ghost is coming!"

"Ghost blowing the lamp!"

"People light candles, Asahi blows out lanterns!"

Chen Xu squinted, step by step, and walked over slowly, until he found that these "silk threads" did not have any movement, so he had the courage to bring the torch close to the past and shine it.

In the next moment, many red, vine-like plants appeared in the picture.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was not a monster.

But some people are still confused, not understanding what it is.

Chen Xu observed for a moment, then pointed the torch at the top of the cave, looked at the soil on it, and guessed: "These should be the roots of the arbor, through the top of the cave, all the way down, you see, there is water on it." ”

"The water is supposed to come from rainfall, filtered through dirt and gravel, and finally drip down the roots, so it's very clean, so many roots, enough for me to catch a lot of pots of water!"

As he spoke, he took the military kettle out of his backpack and aimed it at the base of the roots.

Sure enough, as soon as the spout of the pot was aligned with the root of the tree, there was a sound of "ticking, ticking", and the rhythm was very fast, indicating that a large number of water droplets flowed down and fell into the kettle.

"666, this is the real nature porter!"

"Roots: Give you all the water, don't eat me!"

"Haha, how do you feel like Xu Ye is drinking the urine of the big tree!"

It didn't take long for Chen Xu to take a full pot.

He hadn't drunk water for half a day and a night, and coupled with the continuous high temperature, he was sweating a lot, so he had already felt thirsty in his throat.

So, without saying a word, he took a small sip first.

"Hmm...... Some wood flavor, but sweet!"

After taking a sip, Chen Xu smacked his lips with satisfaction, and commented on the hard-won "root water", which didn't look like an adventure at all, but like a food judge.

And just as he was replenishing his water, suddenly, a few "clicks" came at once.

Since the cave was very quiet and there was an echo, he could hear it very clearly.

"Did you hear that?"

Chen Xu put down the kettle and listened attentively.

After waiting for about three seconds, another "click" sound came from inside the cave.

The audience suddenly became nervous.

Although they know that this is Snake Island, in such an environment full of darkness and unknown, there are always people who subconsciously think of monsters.

Chen Xu pursed his lips, "There can't be a large beast in Viper Island, so this movement can't be caused by a living thing." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the dirt and gravel on the roof of the cave.

"It's probably the sound of falling rocks from the roof of the cave, which can be seen everywhere in natural caves, anyway, it's not very safe here, we need to hurry!"

After the words fell, Chen Xu filled the kettle with water, and continued to hold a torch and a metal detector, along the cave wall, to continue to look for any news about the treasure.

"If we are in danger of falling, or even collapsing, the safest way is to walk along the wall, and this technique is the same as the technique of hiding under a load-bearing wall in the event of an earthquake. ”

On the subsequent journey, Chen Xu was close to the cave wall for testing.

Nearby, there was an occasional sound of falling gravel, which further confirmed his guess.

It's a pity that along the way, not a single artificial mark was found, and the metal detector never thought of it.

On top of that, the light of the torches is getting fainter and weaker.

After all, this is just a torch made of natural vegetable oil made of palm trees, and the burning time is far less than that of chemical kerosene.

After weighing for a while, Chen Xu still decided to return temporarily first, in this kind of cave, without torches, it is equivalent to being blind, and there is no valuable information at all.

But just as he turned around and was about to go back.

On the top of the cave, suddenly, a large object fell from it, and it hit his right shoulder!

Click!

It all came so suddenly.

Before the audience could react, the torch was directly smashed to the ground by that large object, and the fire was instantly covered and extinguished!

"it! Xu Ye has an accident!"

"Nima, Xu Ye won't be knocked down by the mud and rocks that collapsed in the cave, right?"

"Master Xu!

"Oh my God! this is really a ghost blowing the lamp, Xu Ye, don't die!"
