Chapter 35: The Guardian God
The two of them stood at the entrance of the cave and looked up, only to see a layer of black pressed and fluffy things densely gathered under the protruding cliff on the upper layer of the sinkhole. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Zhenzhen began to have a dense phobia again, staring at the black spots attached to the cliff wall at the top of the sinkhole, and her heart was furious.
Nan Zhiqiao's originally slightly frowning brows stretched out, and he sighed: "It turns out that this sinkhole is the nest of the bat swarm. ”
It turned out that the black pressure on the cliff wall was a bat hanging upside down on it, Ye Zhenzhen looked around the sinkhole with her head up, all of them were densely packed with layers of bats perched upside down, and the number was estimated to be at least a few million.
Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously grasped the stone wall at the entrance of the cave and sighed: "If the bat is a visitor from hell, then this sinkhole is hell." ”
"Visitors from Hell?" Nan Zhiqiao repeated softly, and then turned around, "I think this sinkhole should be the home of the primeval forest guardian mountain god. ”
"Is the mountain god's home so good?"
"Well, of course, it's good, it's a habitat for bats, and bats are the patron saints of the whole primeval forest, so it's best to think of this as the home of the mountain gods. ”
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then understood, indeed, bats are an important part of the entire primeval forest ecosystem, bats can catch pests, can spread pollen, not only protect this forest, but also reproduce the next generation of the forest, bats are regarded as the guardian of the mountain god, then this sinkhole is naturally the home of the mountain god.
Zhen Zhen gradually diverted her attention from the bat swarm perched overhead, and the feeling of hair caused by dense phobia in her heart gradually dissipated, and she leaned down again to look, most of the sinkhole was flooded, although the torrential rain has stopped now, and the sky is clear, but the waterfall flood around the sinkhole is continuous, and the water in the pool below is accumulating more and more, there is no way out under the sinkhole, and there is no way out underground, so you can only count on the sky.
Looking up at the sky above the sinkhole again, the circular sinkhole, you can vaguely see the big trees on the hillside opposite the sinkhole, and took another step outside the entrance of the cave, next to the entrance of the cave, grasping the stone wall, looking up vertically, the bare mountain wall, there is no way up at all, Ye Zhenzhen sighed, "This is the home of the mountain god, but how can we mortals get out? ”
Nan Zhiqiao leaned out from the entrance of the cave and looked around the entrance of the cave, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Nan Zhiqiao's dangerous action, and was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Nan Zhiqiao from behind, "Senior Nan, be careful, it's too high here, and the entrance of the cave is too slippery......"
Nan Zhiqiao retreated and said with a smile: "It's okay, I found a way." ”
"Where?" Ye Zhenzhen looked around curiously, there was no road like steps at all.
Nan Zhiqiao stretched out his hand through the hole, pressed the automatic device on his wrist, and the wire rope instantly popped out, and soon, the wire rope wrapped around an arm-thick green vine and returned to Nan Zhiqiao's hand.
Tugging the vine in his hand, Nan Zhiqiao smiled, "It's quite sturdy, this is the way we went out." ”
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the vines with thick arms, and then at Nan Zhiqiao, Nan Zhiqiao didn't look joking at all, but was very happy, Ye Zhenzhen was surprised, stammered for a long time, and asked: "Senior Nan, this is the way out you said with the vines?"
"Well, there are a lot of vines growing around the sinkhole, and looking at the age of this vine, it has grown for at least more than a hundred years, and one of them happens to be born near the entrance of the cave, so lucky. ”
"You're going to climb up the vines?" asked Ye Zhenzhen.
"It's not me, it's us. Nan Zhiqiao shook the vines in his hand and nodded.
"Yes...... However, this cave is in the middle of the stone wall of the sinkhole, and it is dozens of meters away from the top and bottom, so if you fall down, ......"
"This is the only way out for us at the moment. ”
Nan Zhiqiao said the current situation of the two of them in one word, Ye Zhenzhen accepted the reality, indeed, this vine is the only hope for the two of them now, otherwise, they can only stay in the cave and starve to death.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded as if she were dead, "Okay, I'll climb." ”
Nan Zhiqiao began to plan the plan for the two of them to climb the sinkhole, "I'll go up along the vine first, observe the surrounding terrain, and check the solidity of the vine by the way, and when I go up, find another vine to put down, you tie it around your waist, and then climb up along this vine, so that it is double safe." ”
Nan Zhiqiao's arrangement was perfect, and Ye Zhenzhen also felt that it was feasible in her heart, and instructed: "Senior Nan, you are careful, put the backpack here first, and you go up along the vine alone to reduce the weight." ”
"Good. ”
Before leaving the cave, Nan Zhiqiao tugged on the vine twice harder, and after making sure that the vine was strong, he began to grasp the vine and began to climb up.
The swaying vines rubbed against the mountain wall, and from time to time the gravel on the stone wall fell, and the gravel fell into the pond at the bottom of the pit, causing patches of splash, Ye Zhenzhen looked up and watched Nan Zhiqiao climb all the way up, and was terrified to see.
Suddenly, on the stone wall at the top of the sinkhole, there was a "squeak" sound, like the cry of a mouse, and after a closer look, it turned out that the shaking vines disturbed the bat group that was hanging upside down nearby, and the bats were alarmed, and some of the bats flew up.
Since it was daytime, the bats were alarmed, but they did not fly far, but only circled under the rock wall, some of the bats that did not grasp firmly actually fell into the waterhole at the bottom of the pit, and some bats flew around the vines.
Nan Zhi Qiao climbed the vines all the way up from the entrance of the cave, and to go up to the top of the sinkhole, he had to pass through the cliff where the bats lived.
Nan Zhi Qiao climbed to the vicinity of the bat swarm, the bats reacted more violently, hundreds of bats were startled, flying around Nan Zhi Qiao, the intruder, Nan Zhi Qiao held the vine in one hand, kicked the cliff with both feet, and drove away the surrounding bats with the other hand.
The bat swarm was enraged, and there were traces of attacking people, in the chaos, Ye Zhenzhen looked up, only to see Nan Zhiqiao suddenly protecting his neck with one hand, this is the response of humans after being attacked, Ye Zhenzhen felt a pain in her heart, "Ah, Senior Nan was bitten by a bat." ”
Ye Zhenzhen was so anxious that her palms were sweating, and she quickly thought of a way to drive away the bats in her mind, but she didn't expect that suddenly, there were dirt and stones on the top of the sinkhole, and the vines at the entrance of the cave quickly slid down.
The fallen stones grazed against Ye Zhenzhen's side, and immediately after, Nan Zhiqiao's figure also followed the vines across the hole.
Ye Zhenzhen was a spirit, grabbing the sliding vine with one hand and a rock at the entrance of the cave with the other.
The vines and the power of Nan Zhiqiao's fall dragged Ye Zhenzhen out of the cave at once, Ye Zhenzhen's body hung in the center of the stone wall of the sinkhole, grasping the rock at the entrance of the cave with one hand and pulling the vines with the other, and the whole person was torn apart.
