Chapter 24: Into the Cave
"What's that?"
Ye Yan put down the banana leaf package in his hand, which contained the rhizome of a certain taro plant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just in front of him, under the cover of a thick grass, a dark cave loomed through the swaying branches of the rocky hillside on the slope of the rocks and dirt.
Stepping on the dirt floor, the sun shone on the beads of sweat on Ye Yan's nose, he approached the past, picked up the grass, the rock collapsed and fell to the ground, after many years, maybe it was some kind of natural movement, forming a cave, due to the cover of layers of trees, coupled with the depth of the cave, it was dark inside, I don't know what was inside.
The trees hung low, leaning against the rock wall, just enough to hide the hole, like a natural hiding point.
As Roan's camera progresses, the entrance to the cave, which may have never been set foot before, is exposed to the viewer's nose.
"Damn, it's dark and scary. ”
"I bet the city lord of Wumaoye will get in. ”
"Could there be any treasure in there?"
"There shouldn't be any danger, these islands are basically free of poison. ”
……
"Do you want to check it out?"
Ye Yan and Mo Qing glanced at each other and smiled.
Mo Qing's beautiful eyes flashed, her eyes seemed to be shining with crystal light, she grabbed the corner of Ye Yan's clothes, and looked eager to try: "Then what are you waiting for?"
When Ye Yan heard this, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, it seems that Mo Qing has completely adapted to it, far away from the mainland's isolated island on the sea, there is a deep cave hidden inside, maybe for thousands of years, no one has ever set foot in it, everything in it may be the appearance of ancient times, maybe there is some unknown creature hidden in it, maybe it records some vicissitudes of life......
Everything, like a seed, grew wildly in Ye Yan's heart, and what flowed in his blood was never to go with the flow. Who doesn't want to explore every unknown corner of the earth one day, who hasn't looked up at the stars and pondered the mysteries of the universe.
Maybe one day, Ye Yanzhen should exchange for a spaceship to explore the unknown sea of stars, hum, who knows?
However, the cave was too dark, and Ye Yan had to make a torch to enter. Fortunately, Ye Yan brought the bamboo tube filled with animal oil at any time and was carefully placed.
Ye Yan cut down a fresh tree, which could prevent the flames from burning the handle of the fire.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yan used a knife to cut off a piece of cloth on his sleeve, soaked it in oil in a bamboo tube, and then wrapped it in a fresh wooden stick, which also stuffed some sustainable burning items.
Ye Yan looked at the wrapped torch and nodded with satisfaction: "Such a torch is done, and the oil in the cloth strip should be able to burn it for about 20-30 minutes." And do you know why tomb robberies always like to use torches instead of flashlights?"
Ye Yan paused: "Because in addition to lighting, flames can also detect oxygen content. Flames need oxygen to burn, and if there is not enough oxygen, the torch will be extinguished, and people will be able to intuitively know the oxygen content. You must know that five minutes of hypoxia can lead to brain death. This is why in ancient times, tomb robbers would light a candle in the southeast corner. ”
"666, I understand the reason, can you get in quickly?"
"Junior high school physics knowledge, means full understanding. ”
"It's so exciting, you say there won't be no treasures?"
……
Then Ye Yan used flint and steel to make a small fire, lit the torch, and immediately stepped on the fire, this is a good habit, don't let the flames endanger this beautiful island.
Ye Yan held a torch, came to the mouth of the cave, and hooked his hand towards Mo Qing: "Let's go." ”
Mo Qing nodded, she seemed to be a little excited, she followed behind Ye Yan and walked towards the depths of the cave, and the sunlight stopped in the cave*** It seems that there is an evil in it that even the sunlight can't dispel.
The darkness swallowed the two little by little, and Mo Qing looked at Ye Yan's thin, but reassuring back, and a smile inexplicably raised at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Yan held the torch obliquely, the flickering firelight illuminated the darkness, the flame was reflected in his dark eyes, like a king, the darkness was like his cloak, heading towards the unknown.
The cave is not spacious, and by the light of the fire, you can clearly see the traces on the stone walls on both sides, and the rocks have changed into various forms under the magic of nature, and some crystals are embedded in it, or twisted, or turned over.
Ye Yan stretched out his hand and gently stroked these rocks, his hand was slightly cool, and some water droplets seeped out slightly on the surface, he looked up, for thousands of years, the earth's crust has moved, and the cave is like a broken ice surface, cracking some cracks, and the cracks are spreading, and I don't know where to stretch out.
"Squeak!"
The rock was falling, and in the deep darkness, a swarm of bats with hideous heads was standing upside down on the roof of the cave, and the ground was littered with disgusting bat droppings. As Ye Yan and Mo Qing walked in, the disturbed bats spread their wings and flew one after another, their pupils reflecting the firelight, revealing their short and sharp fangs, which swept over the heads of Ye Yan and the others like a black tide, the torches swayed, and the bats emitted ultrasonic waves that humans could not hear, so that they could distinguish objects in the dark, and they all flew out of the cave.
"Ahh
A scream echoed in the cave, it was Mo Qing's voice.
Mo Qing lowered his head, bent over, took Ye Yan's hand, and his pretty face turned pale: "Scared me to death, why are there bats?"
Ye Yanchang exhaled, looking at the swarm of bats passing above the torch, he shook his head: "I don't know either, do you want to keep walking?"
Mo Qing patted her undulating chest, the hand holding Ye Yan was a little cold, and she nodded solemnly: "You can't give up halfway." ”
"Hey. ”
……
Continuing to walk inside, the originally small space gradually became larger, and the passages gradually increased, undulating, up or down, left or right, or strange rocks blocking the way, and a little water droplet fell from the top of the head, splashing on the countless scattered gravel lying at his feet.
The torch swayed, and Mo Qing couldn't help but shiver: "It's so cold......"
Ye Yan glanced back at Mo Qing, Luo An followed behind him without saying a word, and he smiled: "Of course, we have been walking in this cave for more than ten minutes, about ten meters deep underground." ”
Ye Yan stopped, holding the torch, and the burning cloth fell to the ground little by little, fortunately, the animal fat was really good.
"Another fork. Ye Yan said in a low voice, as if to Mo Qing and the audience on the horizon, and said, "When exploring in a cave in the wild, especially in a place with a complex cave network, you must mark every fork to ensure that you can find your way out." ”
Ye Yan leaned over, stepping on a gravel ground, torches flying in the air, he motioned for Luo An to take closer to the camera, pointing to a rotting corpse at the foot of the rock wall, only a little fur and a pair of bones. The bones are slightly yellow, lying on the ground intact, but with the corrosion of the years, some weak places have been shattered, and some are broken by falling stones, and the head of the white bones under one, the hollow pupils are illuminated by the torches, and the shadows are constantly changing, as if they are undead, and it makes people stand on end, and it is terrifying. Almost all of the meat has been eaten by the maggots, and some fur is left tightly, and it looks very old.
"You see, this skeleton has no external injuries all over its body, and its vertebrae are almost parallel to the ground, gradually getting smaller to the tail. The bones of the front legs are thicker than those of the hind legs, and near the spine, the skull is smaller, the mouth is flattened, and the lower jaw is large. The toe bones are small and hoof-like. This is supposed to be the skeleton of a young wild boar. ”
Ye Yan stood up, Ku Ding Jieniu is a realm of knife work, what he said is that for various ingredients, thousands of times of decomposition, naturally have a certain understanding of the structure of pigs. He exhaled and said, "So you know how important road signs are in places like this. It is very likely that he will be like this wild boar, lost in the ground until he dies. ”
"Damn, scare me. ”
"Don't tell me that City Lord Ye has also seen the butcher's self-cultivation. ”
"Is there a corpse now, my brakes are broken. ”
"Is it just me who has been staring at when City Lord Ye's torch will be burned?"
……
Ye Yan frowned slightly, there were corpses here, and he didn't know if the air was still clean, he was on the right side of this pig, and he made a small stone pile with a few stones.
Ye Yan clapped his hands, and he said, "I don't know if anyone has played MC, when entering the cave, you must remember the rule of the right hand." The marker is placed on the right-hand side for a more intuitive way to distinguish the position. ”
