Chapter 643: Exploring the Shadows
The entrance to the Toad Cave is very open, the water of the Yin River flows from the left side, and the right side is a flat stone platform with some stalactites standing on it.
The three of them walked along the stone platform, and after entering a few dozen meters, they had to turn on the lights.
A Yazi mouth appeared in front of him, with the Yin River on one side and a dry hole on the other.
Li Junge opened his mouth to speak, and an echo suddenly sounded in the cave: "People and animals, like animals, generally choose a good way to walk, and most of the two babies will choose this side of the dry cave." Let's look to see if they have left any traces. ”
The three of them looked around at the junction, and after a while, they heard Tang Jun shouting: "Brother Xiao, Erpi, there is an arrow drawn with chalk here." ”
Li Junge looked at it and said, "That's basically not wrong, Brother Xiao called the center for support." ”
Xiao Qi took out his mobile phone: "Yo, there's no signal here, I have to go out and call." ”
Li Junge looked at the gloomy hole in front of him: "The bear child can really toss, or Brother Tang, you can also go out and wait for the big army, and I will explore inside." ”
Tang Jun had already retreated, this seventy or eighty meters deep hole, the cold water vapor rushing around him, stimulated him to tremble, and he couldn't help scolding: "If Lao Tzu's son does this, I can't beat him to death!"
Li Junge expressed his understanding: "Every teenager has an adventurous dream in their hearts, that is, they sometimes don't know what kind of price such a dream will pay, and it is too easy to have an accident with only two flashlights......"
Xiao Qi reacted suddenly: "Did you secretly come here when you were a child?"
Li Junge smiled and said: "This cave is a taboo in the village, I didn't know it was here before, or if Uncle Orion brought me here......"
Seeing that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, Li Junge said again: "But later, I secretly came to explore once, but I didn't finish it, it was too deep and too deep." ”
The two of them rolled their eyes together, and the old men knew!
Li Junge said: "Don't talk nonsense, leave me another battery, I'll walk inside, you go out and wait for the army first." The babies must be in a bad state right now, so let's race against time. ”
Xiao Qi Tang Jun blindly trusted Li Junge's experience in running the mountain, thought for a while and said: "That's okay, let's withdraw and wait for the big army, Erpi, you be careful." ”
The three of them broke up, Li Junge continued to touch the depths, Xiao Qi and Tang Jun came out to report the new situation, and as soon as Ah Yin and Liang Huili were anxious: "Why do you let Erpi go in alone? He may get lost!"
Xiao Qi Tang Jun was shocked: "How is it possible? Erpi has patrolled the mountain with us a few times, and the sense of direction is not too good!"
Ayin said: "He is spiritual in the mountains, but he can't do it in the city, and he has a nickname called 'vegetable pigeon'!
Xiao Qi said: "Then I'll hurry up and chase him back!"
The fourth grandfather said, "Don't move, you two, wait for us to come!
……
The temperature in the cave was constant, and after the initial cold feeling, Li Junge gradually got used to it.
There was stagnant water on the floor of the cave, and it was rattling when stepping on it, and the top was high from the ground, and some stalactites were hanging upside down, still dripping downward.
Thousands of years of limestone deposited with the water, creating a magical landscape on the top of the cave, to usually be absolutely amazed by the magic of nature, but now Li Junge does not have this mind.
Now he only hoped that the two children would not cross the Yin River that he had explored last time, and if they accidentally fell in the river and were swept away by the current, the gods would not be saved.
As soon as I thought of this, my feet involuntarily accelerated.
Such a dark cave, gradually becoming narrow and low, is an absolute hell for claustrophobia.
After walking for nearly half an hour, every 100 meters, Li Junge would take out fluorescent vinyl paint and spray a mark on the stone wall, so as to tell the people behind him his direction.
After squeezing past the two huge stalactites blocking the way, Li Junge re-entered an open area.
It was a huge space, like the interior of a cathedral, with the dome four or five stories high from the highest point above the ground.
The entrance of the cave where Li Junge is now located is almost on the third floor, and there is a slope at the foot, and the stream seeping out of the cave mouth slowly flows downward, creating a terrace-like landscape at the foot.
At the bottom of the slope, many stalactites have been combined up and down to become stone pillars.
Most of them are strange-shaped stone forests, like monsters that have been sleeping for many years, awakened after being disturbed by their footsteps, and impatiently half-straighten up, ready to choose people to devour.
The space occupies two or three acres of land, and Li Junge has not explored all of it here, but he knows that it is definitely an excellent tourist resource.
If you wait until the dome here is eroded, it will be a small sinkhole.
However, because it is the best water source for the group, Li Junge never thought of opening this wonder to the outside world, but today he was found by two bear children and got in.
Shaking his head, Li Junge began to go downhill along the cave wall, there are several exits in this place, Li Junge only hopes that the bear children have a minimum of experience, and every time they fork the cave, they will always choose the one on the far right, or the one on the far left.
The stepped stalactite field made the descent very convenient, and Li Junge touched down the cave wall step by step, and soon reached the edge of the first cave on the right.
Any animal is right-handed with a high probability, and in such places, it is generally customary to choose to go to the right.
The dome of the cave wall was low at the end of the space, and sure enough, Li Junge found a pink note at the first exit he encountered.
Li Junge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that the two babies were similar to the way he walked last time.
On the top of the pink mark at the entrance of the cave, Li Junge also sprayed his own mark, and then touched the entrance of the cave.
Not far away, is the end of his last exploration, Yin River.
All the way down, soon there was a sound of rushing water in front of him, and Li Junge knew that the Yin River was about to arrive.
Soon Li Junge came to an exit, and at his feet was a river seven or eight meters wide.
Li Junge held a strong flashlight and shone it upstream, the upstream was the turbulent river water surrounded by cliffs, and the downstream was a low cave, and the water surface was only as high as an arm's length from the top of the cave.
The water flow in this area at the foot of Li Junge is relatively gentle, and it is estimated that the water in this area often swings from side to side, washing the space here into a shape where the bottom of two brooms are opposite each other and rests on the ground.
Li Junge felt like he was in a huge flat pork belly right now.
Theoretically, every cave in the karst landscape is washed out by the current.
It's just that the water is constantly diverting in the mountains, leaving caves without water.
The section of the toad cave to this section of the road should have been a passage of the Yin River in the past, but later the stream found another outlet and flowed out of the toad cave, so this section of the cave was emptied.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, Li Junge's current foot should be the inlet of a stream flowing into the Yin River.
Now there is no stream flowing into the water inlet, and in addition to the river in front of Li Junge, there are some stalactites standing in the water that have not been completely washed away, forming a stone pedal bridge leading to the opposite bank.
But this kind of place is very dangerous, Li Junge will never pass over the stone pedal bridge, the center of the river does not know the depth, in case the stone pedal can not bear the weight of a person, once it falls into the water, there is almost no help.
Li Junge didn't know the whereabouts of the bear children, and he didn't know if they had crossed the river, so he anxiously searched around with a strong flashlight.
Soon there was a heart-wrenching discovery, a schoolbag lying on the other side of the river.
Li Junge cursed in his heart, the bear child was so bold that he didn't even dare to cross the river, and the bear child actually touched it.
And it seems that there was an accident, otherwise there wouldn't be a schoolbag that was inexplicably discarded there.
Li Junge shouted twice at the other side: "Zhang Xiaolu, Tong Guang, are you there?"
There was only an echo in the empty stone cave, and there was no sound from the two of them.
Li Junge gritted his teeth, felt out the rope and prepared to cross the river.
In any case, you have to go through the inspection before you can make a plan.
Spraying marks with vinyl paint on the stone pedals by the river, and then taking out a marker pen and writing words on the stone pedals, reminding later people not to walk on the stone pedals, Li Junge tied the rope to the stone pedals, took off his clothes, and threw his backpack into the space together.
Then fasten a harness on your belt, buckle the rope with a buckle, and go down the river while putting the rope.
The underground river water was cold and biting, and Li Junge shivered as soon as he got out of the water.
I couldn't help but scold angrily in my heart, if I found the bear child, I didn't say a word, I pulled it over and beat my ass first!
Exploring under the water with his feet, every time he passed a stone pedal, Li Junge used a rope to wrap around the stone pedal, and then tied a knot and connected it into a cable, whether it was retreating from the other side by himself, or the people behind him, it was more convenient.
The water is getting deeper and deeper, and Li Junge can be sure that the babies must have passed from the stone pedals.
Then the schoolbag thrown on the shore is even more worrying, there was an accident on the stone pedal, falling into the water flow from the left side of the stone pedal, maybe holding the stone pedal can still be saved, if it falls from the right side, it is okay to wash away directly.
But the bag is on the shore, indicating that at least one more may still be alive.
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, but I can't get up quickly, this kind of place is called every day and the earth is not spiritual, the more anxious I am, the more careful my hands are.
The water gradually flooded his chest, and Li Junge needed to hold the stone pedal every time he advanced, and then rushed out frantically towards the next stone pedal, thrashing vigorously.
Fortunately, the headlamp is waterproof and can provide light to Li Junge.
Finally crossed the center of the river, and the soles of his feet were able to step on the ground again, and Li Junge eased his nervousness a little.
However, at this moment, under the light, a huge white figure emerged from the stone gap at the bottom of the water, rushing towards Li Junge's waist!
"Damn!" "Follow Uncle Orion, Uncle Craftsman, Wu Zhiqiu, Wei Wei, Lin Zhao and these people have been mixed for too long, and they have never thought that there are any mountain spirits and water monsters in the mountains and forests, but now suddenly a white thing is strung out, and Li Junge was directly scared half to death.
