Chapter 13: Strange Sounds
Only the queen could enter the third hole, but Rainbow Meerkats broke the convention and agreed to let Ansu in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Wind Fire Meerkat was reduced to a lower male by the Rainbow Fire Meerkat and stood guard in the cold night wind. Only the Rain Meerkat in the cave is paying close attention to the Rainbow Meerkat and An Su's every move. At this time, seeing that the rainbow fire mongoose actually allowed a strange creature to enter the resting place of the ancestors, he couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Your Majesty, how can you let outsiders enter the resting place of the ancestors?" You're disrespectful! ”
Rainbow Fire Meerkat glanced at her coldly: "Here, I have the final say." ”
Claw Fire Meerkat deserves the blood of the royal family, and even let him go the right way to Red Hill. As the outline of the Red Hill appeared in the morning light, he smelled the scent of his people. They're inside the Red Hill! Suddenly, his heart sank. I hope the queen understands what he means.
"So they're hiding here." Ye Meerkats laughed a few times, "It's just a catch." ”
Ansu made a torch out of dead branches, because without fresh branches, the torches would burn quickly and all of them, so Ansu quickened his pace and walked in the branch hole, and after a few turns he saw a pool that was bigger and deeper than the one outside. It has a neat circular shape and is connected to a deep cavern at one end. Ansu raised the torch and shone it, but it was bottomless.
The humming sound came from the depths of the cavern, but if you wanted to get in, you had to swim in. Ansu fiddled with the pool water, which was cool and cool, like ice water.
The humming sound kept calling Ansu, and finally, Ansu decided to jump off the pool and swim inside. The light of the torches was plucked by the current, dancing into flexible streamers that wrapped around Ansule. By the faint light of the fire, Ansu saw that the walls of the cave were smooth and shimmering with metallic luster, unlike natural formations, and there were no uneven stones under the water.
Swimming in the water actually gave An Su the feeling of floating through the spaceship passage in a weightless state.
Ye Grey Meerkat quickly launched an attack on the meerkat, but Rainbow Meerkat did not expect the Grey Meerkat to come so quickly, so he hurriedly led the rest of his clan into the complex cave system. She wanted to go back and inform Ansu, but only she knew the way out, so she had no choice but to flee with her people first.
The passages in the cave crisscrossed and turned around, and although Ye Gray Meerkat chased very closely, he finally lost the trace of Rainbow Fire Meerkat and them. Meerkats can also see at night, but everything they see in their line of sight is almost the same. Leaf Grey Meerkat immediately called for someone to bring the Claw Fire Meerkat over.
"You come to lead the way, if you dare to play any tricks, you will die!" Leaf Meerkat threatened.
"Yes, yes."
A ghostly light flashed from under his eyes, and he would show them the way, but only the way to Yellow Springs. Claw Meerkats were mischievous when they were young, but they were always found by his mother, the former Queen, but as a result, he was familiar with the cave's paths. His mother is buried here, and he can't let her down, and he wants to make amends for the mistakes he has made.
After a few turns, just as the torches were about to burn out, Ansu finally saw the end of the cave, a circular door half-submerged in water, like the door of an airlock on a spaceship. Ansu swam over quickly and tapped it with his hand a few times, although he didn't know what kind of metal it was, it was definitely not a natural rock. An Su's indifferent face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Could it be that the old humans have returned? Ansu frowned and thought, but this kind of metal Ansu had never seen before.
Who built this door here, and what is behind it? Ansu looked at the mirror-smooth round door and pulled out his dagger.
Whew--
There was a piercing scraping sound, but the surface of the door was as smooth as ever, and Ansu was even more surprised, this dagger had pierced or cut many kinds of hard metal, and it was the first time it had encountered a scratch. Ansu increased his efforts, but there was really no trace left.
In the silent space, the humming sound continued to come from inside the door, as if the ship was about to take off in the next second. Ansu carefully looked around the round door, and didn't see any switch buttons or anything similar to iris or fingerprint input devices.
The flame flickered and went out at last. Ansu was suddenly plunged into darkness, and all that could be heard in his ears was the buzzing sound mixed with staccato screams. Ansu looked up and knew that the screams were coming from somewhere else.
Could it be that something is going on out there?
Ansu groped her way in the darkness following the road map she had memorized in her mind, but after swimming for a while, she realized that the road had changed! Ansu knew that there was a kind of secret base, and the passage would change according to the set time, turning into an active labyrinth, and it was difficult for outsiders to break in and get out.
Unexpectedly, such an advanced device is hidden on this seemingly wild planet. An Su tried to sense energy fluctuations while paddling through the water, but the surrounding walls seemed to have the function of shielding energy, and An Su couldn't sense a trace of fluctuations, and his mind seemed to be black.
In addition to the humming sound in the depths of the cave, there was also the sound of the machine restarting, and the passage turned into a roller, and Ansu was turned upside down, and finally rushed to the depths of the cave by the current......
The red mound let out a muffled sound, rose and fell violently upwards for a moment, and then collapsed again, forming a sinkhole with a radius of several kilometers.
"Oh my God......" The meerkats who had just escaped were full of horror, and they would be devoured if they were one step later, so dangerous!
"An ......," Rainbow Fire Meerkat muttered with a pale face, would she really die if she was so strong?
As the ground shook violently, the sky seemed to be shaken, and large dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder flashed between the clouds, and rumbling thunder ran over and over in the sky. The sudden wind swept up one sandstorm after another, and the sky and the earth became a dusk and chaotic place.
Heavy rain soon poured down.
In the raging water, Ansu struggled to find a place to climb, but the passage was slippery and not uneven at all. The wall couldn't be cut through with a dagger, so An Su had to be on guard and improvise.
The shaking soon stopped, and the humming and the sound of the machine starting became almost inaudible. Ansu wiped the water from her face and stood up. The water had become shallow, reaching only Ansu's knees, but it was still cold.
It was pitch black in front of Ansu's eyes, and she had to grope her way in the direction of the current. The further he went, the less water he had, and finally, Ansu ran into a cold round door.
This time, Ansu planned to treat it in a violent way, she picked up her fists, ready to smash it directly!
Shout--
The round door slid open silently.
