Chapter 187: Underground
On the morning of the 28th, when Zhou Yu was facing an emerald green intoxicating large praying mantis carved ornament, the order placed on the Internet a week ago finally arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of the big praying mantis, Zhou Yu has a soft spot.
There are more than a dozen praying mantis ornaments in the study, but he is still in high spirits.
Speaking of which, because of the jade seal, the praying mantis on the farm has also undergone significant changes. However, unlike some species, the praying mantis does not milk-blean, but becomes more verdant.
From this point, it can be seen that the influence of the jade seal is not immutable.
Under the influence of the jade seal, the earthworm turned into a milky white earthworm, and some fish in the small lake also became a milky white species. But after all, some are different.
Catfish, for example, has become a striped black and white guy.
The praying mantis, on the other hand, becomes even greener. Of course, it's bigger.
The one in front of Zhou Yu is about seventeen or eighteen centimeters long, which is very large. Basically a guy you've never seen before! You must know that this kind of praying mantis, the original largest individual, is only about ten centimeters.
Now it's almost twice as big!
Especially the intoxicating color of all-over green, which makes Zhou Yu like it the most.
Zhou Yu was sitting on the Mazha at this time, at the edge of the test field. The praying mantis had been hiding in a bush on the edge of the field and had been motionless for at least an hour.
So quiet, so peaceful.
But it was evident from its large knives that opened and closed slowly, that it was not immobile.
Not far from this praying mantis, at this time, a grasshopper unconsciously approached slowly.
Then, like lightning, the praying mantis scurried, and between the opening and closing of the big knife, the grasshopper was caught!
Lore!
Then Angie came.
Startled, the aura that flashed in Zhou Yu's mind just now ran away all of a sudden, and he had no choice but to put down the half-formed carving in his hand, and said helplessly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Uh... It's something I bought online... It's here. Angie was a little embarrassed to find that she might have interrupted the birth of a work of art.
But she was already waiting a little anxiously - Zhou Yu could wait quietly for a week. And she is less patient.
Zhou Yu is very accommodating and tolerant of his own woman, but he doesn't care about Anji's interruption.
At that moment, he packed up his tools, picked up Maza, and went home with Anji, and then directly took all kinds of utensils, armed himself, and went straight to Snake Valley.
It just so happened that two Bodhi snakes were in the nest.
No matter what you say, let's lead the way.
Follow the deep cavern to where the water is.
First put on their life jackets, then they unfolded the folded rubber boats, filled them with air, hung them with ropes, and slowly lowered them.
One end of the rope was tied to a relatively strong and protruding stone on the edge of the cave, and after putting down the rubber boat, Zhou Yu picked up the battery and said to Anji: "I'll go down first." ”
As he spoke, he squatted, and his free hand was like a tofu inserted into the stone.
Then this hand hung the weight of the whole body, and went down lightly.
After a while, Zhou Yu stood in the rubber boat and raised his head: "Come down." ”
Anji looked at the height of three or four meters with some confusion, and wanted to jump down, but she was afraid that she would overturn the rubber boat all of a sudden, but if she didn't jump, she didn't have the ability of Zhou Yu.
At this time, the role of the Bodhi snake is revealed.
When the Bodhi snake was taken out of the jade seal by Zhou Yu two years ago, it was five or six meters long, and now it is even bigger, more than eight meters.
The Bodhi snake that was still left on it was very obedient between Zhou Yu's thoughts, and wrapped its tail around the protruding stone, allowing Anji to hold its body and slowly slide down.
There isn't a lot of space in the dinghy, but it's more than enough for two people.
Zhou Yu controlled the balance of the rubber boat and sat down after Anji sat down.
The light from the 100-watt miner's lamp on the special hard hat was much stronger than the flashlight from the last time I came over. At least, the light was still faintly visible thirty or forty meters away.
But thirty or forty meters away, it was still sparkling.
I don't know how big this underground water basin is!
Untying the rope, Zhou Yu picked up the oars and slowly rowed away. He wasn't worried about getting lost and not finding the hole. Because there is a Bodhi snake.
These two guys, I don't know how many times they have come down, they have long been familiar with each other. There is no question of getting lost.
Angie also took the oars and paddled them so that the rubber boat gradually left the stone wall and went deep into the water. While looking around, observing the situation around you.
Zhou Yu looked up, and the miner's lamp on the helmet shone on the top wall of his head. Stalagmites hung from the dome, large and small, long and short, densely packed, like a nail board hanging upside down.
The height of the top wall, which may be more than ten meters above the water surface, is not high, but it is not low. At least Zhou Yu didn't feel very depressed.
"The air here is fresh and not rotten." Anji's voice sounded in this empty and dark space: "It means that the air here is circulated and not closed." ”
Zhou Yu bowed slightly: "Moreover, this water is flowing, but the speed is not fast, and you can't detect it if you don't pay attention." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and dipped it in the water, but it was very warm! At least it's not cool!
Zhou Yu was a little surprised: "This water is not cold!" ”
Then he put his finger in his mouth and tasted it slightly: "It's fresh water." ”
"Freshwater, then it's not connected to the sea." Anji said: "It seems that the side facing the sea is closed. ”
Zhou Yu thought so.
"But this water is not cold..."Anji also reached out and touched it, and said thoughtfully: "It stands to reason that groundwater is often cold, unless..."
"Geothermal heat, unless there's magma nearby!" This is the conclusion reached by Zhou Yu.
Angie nodded: "It should be like this, just like a hot spring." It may be that this body of water is too large, so that the temperature of the magma is dispersed, and the temperature is not too high. ”
While the two were talking, not far ahead, there was a violent sound of water. The two of them looked together, and the two miner's lamps shone through, and they saw that the waves were rolling on the water about twenty or thirty meters in the distance!
The stirring waves came layer by layer, making the rubber boat shake!
Faintly, two powerful creatures are fighting.
"It's a Bodhi snake."
It was the Bodhi snake that was the first to enter the water earlier.
The other Bodhi snake followed behind the rubber boat.
However, seeing that the Bodhi snake next to the rubber boat was so calm, Zhou Yu knew that the Bodhi snake in front of him was not in much trouble.
Otherwise, this guy next to him would have rushed over to help the group fight.
At this moment, the dinghy gradually approached.
Zhou Yu finally saw clearly that the creature fighting with the Bodhi snake was a crocodile!
"It's a bay crocodile!" Anji immediately said: "The body is huge, there are no big scales on the neck, it is a bay crocodile!" How can there be a bay crocodile here? ”
Zhou Yu didn't answer, and he didn't know.
It's just that this bay crocodile, which is fighting for life and death with the Bodhi snake, may not be in a good situation now. Under the light of the miner's lamp, only part of the bay crocodile's body could be seen emerging from the water and struggling, and most of the others were submerged in the water. But just from the big mouth that came out of the water, you can see that this crocodile must be not small!
It's this mouth, about the size of the front end of a rubber boat!
Just looking at the size, the linden snake is much smaller than this bay crocodile.
But unfortunately, the Bodhi snake is not an ordinary species, and its combat effectiveness is several grades higher than the appearance of its body. Zhou Yu clearly saw that the Bodhi snake tightly wrapped around the bay crocodile, and the part that was exposed to the water, and its mouth was biting the soft flesh under the jaw of the bay crocodile - even, Zhou Yu had heard the sound of cracking bones!
This bay crocodile is dead!
"The bay crocodile mainly lives in Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia... Maybe the zoo brought it in, or maybe a private pet escaped..."Angie explained to herself.
As he spoke, the water in front of him had calmed down.
The crocodile is silent.
The Bodhi snake let go of the gulf crocodile that had been strangled to death, and let it sink gradually, but it swam over and raised its head to ask for credit.
Zhou Yu smiled, touched the flesh corner on its head, and encouraged it.
After the crocodile, I went all the way without encountering any obstacles. Maybe this bay crocodile is really lonely, otherwise, if it is in a group, I am afraid that it will be a Bodhi snake and a loss.
After about five or six minutes, finally, the miner's lamp of the hard hat shone to the end.
I saw a gray-black and gray-black rock wall dozens of meters ahead.
The speed of the Bodhi snake in front of him suddenly accelerated, and then there was a sound of rushing water, and Zhou Yu's powerful eyesight penetrated the darkness and saw that it had come ashore.
"It's the end, the Bodhi snake has come ashore, let's go and see."
With a quick paddle of the boat, the rock wall became clearer and clearer under the illumination of the miner's lamp, and finally, the water became shallower and shallow, and the shore arrived.
There are about two or three feet of ground under the rock wall that are not flooded and can stand people. The two got down from the rubber boat, took another rope, and tied the kayak firmly, and then followed the water trail left by the Bodhi snake in front of them, along the stone wall, to the right-hand side.
There are fewer and fewer unflooded ground on the left-hand side, and after seven or eight meters, it will no longer exist. Only on the right-hand side, the dry ground is getting wider!
The water trail formed by the Bodhi snake swimming led the two of them. Behind him, another Bodhi snake also swam slowly and followed closely.
The miner's lamp on the heads of the two of them shone straight ahead, and faintly, the figure of the Bodhi snake leading the way in front could be seen. But suddenly, the Bodhi snake twisted to the side and disappeared.
The two of them caught up, and on the rock wall on the side, they found a gap about a meter wide!
It was from here that the Bodhi snake disappeared.
Anji looked at it and frowned slightly: "It's a very clear smell of sulfur, and... Another wave of heat poured out of here. ”
Zhou Yu nodded, took Anji's hand, leaned around, and walked in first.
The crevices in the rock walls are very dry. The absence of even a little moisture, the smell of sulphur in the air, and the high temperature indicate the possibility of magma in it.
The smell of sulfur made Angie uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but cover her nose and try to avoid inhaling more sulfur gas. Seeing this, Zhou Yu secretly said that he was negligent.
The smell of sulfur didn't affect him much, but not Anji.
Fortunately, there was preparation.
Reached out and took out a special mask from his pocket and put it on for Anji, who was much more comfortable. (To be continued.) )
