Chapter 17: Getting Out of Trouble
The lake slowly receded, and the land that had been covered was exposed, and the rest of the land was dry except for some places where there was some standing water.
Standing on the stone, Luo Xiao looked at the mountain-sized man-eating python, and Mo Yanran stood beside him, and the two of them stood side by side, and they didn't speak for a long time. Behind them, more than twenty warriors of the clan were loaded with live ammunition, alerting the surrounding situation, not daring to relax a little.
There is a man-eating python, and no one dares to guarantee that there will not be something else in any corner, not to mention anywhere else, just in that bottomless lake, who dares to guarantee that there is nothing else in it.
Strange to say, the lake seems to be somewhere else, and the tornado swept up so much water, but the water level in the lake remained at that position, and when so much water fell back into the lake, the water level of the lake remained unchanged.
"Luo Xiao, there is something wrong with this place!" Mo Yanran stared at the man-eating python in front of her, as well as the lake, and suddenly said, "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
"Well, yes, I'm afraid there is really a lot of mystery in this." Luo Xiao nodded, seemingly agreeing with Mo Yanran's point of view, "I think I'm afraid it's with-"
Mo Yanran stretched out her hand and interrupted his words, then jumped down from the stone and walked towards the man-eating python, "Don't say it yet, otherwise the consequences will be, you know better than me." ”
Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, nodded and stopped what she was going to say next, and jumped off the stone with Mo Yanran.
The man-eating python fell into the muddy water under the stone, most of its head and half of its body were blown away, and the green blood couldn't help but flow, and it flowed into the puddle under the body, dyeing the puddle into a turquoise, and the pungent bloody smell exuded under the stone, which made people feel a little disgusted when they smelled it.
Mo Yanran didn't seem to smell the pungent bloody breath, and strode towards the man-eating python, several warriors followed closely, protecting her left and right, you must know that she is the treasure of the Yanhuang Legion, and the loss is serious if something happens.
Luo Xiao walked with her and asked, "How did you come here, I remember that section of the mountain road was not blocked by erupting lava?" ”
Mo Yanran smiled, "We didn't go there, but blew up a passage through the stone wall and took a shortcut to get here." ”
It turned out that Mo Yanran had basically understood the general situation along the way, so when he came to the blocked mountain road, he used a multi-functional robot to blast the stone wall out of a passage, directly bypassing that section of the mountain road, and then arrived at the road where Luo Xiao and the others walked.
I don't know why, Mo Yanran found that there seemed to be some information related to this cave in her memory, and as she entered this cave, step by step, the things in her memory became clearer and clearer.
However, Mo Yanran didn't want to recall those memories, she would rather never remember them, and it would be better for herself. However, this is related to Luo Xiao's life and death, and Mo Yanran has to force herself to recall more things in order to resolve Luo Xiao's crisis.
The two of them approached the man-eating python and looked the huge guy up and down. They don't have to crouch down to see the python in its entirety.
Mo Yanran put on a pair of gloves, and then shouted behind her, "Bring the equipment." ”
Several technicians ran over with boxes, quickly opened the equipment arranged on the ground, and then handed the instruments to Mo Yanran's hands.
Mo Yanran stared at the giant python in front of her intently, busy in an orderly manner, taking scales, shaving flesh and bones, and also taking some blood and putting it in a bottle, ready to be tested.
Seeing that Mo Yanran was busy there, Luo Xiao found that he didn't seem to be able to help with anything, so he bypassed the giant python and walked towards the lake.
The lake is still the same size, and even the water surface in the lake is exactly the same as the height from the shore, and there is no tornado at this time, and it stops quietly in the lake without a single ripple.
This is the bottom of the sinkhole hundreds of meters deep, except for the tornado, there is not a trace of wind, so there is not even the slightest ripple on the surface of the lake, it is calm like a mirror.
He walked to the shore of the lake, stood on a rock, and surveyed the water. Several warriors of the clan hurriedly approached and stood beside him, guarding the lake.
The water is calm and clear, but you can't see the bottom of the lake, and the water seems so deep that it is so green that it is faintly green.
Luo Xiao stood by the lake, looking at the dark green lake, he took out a climbing rope, tied a basin-sized stone to a section, and then threw it the lake.
The density of stones in this sinkhole is very large, even if it is a fist-sized stone, it is very heavy, and the weight of this basin-sized stone is a bit amazing, and it was thrown into the lake by Luo Xiao, which immediately stirred up a large wave.
This sudden scene frightened those warriors, they almost pulled the trigger of the automatic rifle in their hands, the appearance of the man-eating python just now had already made them a little grassy, Luo Xiao's action made them all feel a little heartbeat to their throats.
"Commander, beware, if there's anything in this lake, you'll alarm it right now." Some of the warriors of the team carefully reminded Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao smiled, then reached out and began to loosen the climbing rope, and lowered the stone downward, "Don't worry, if there are really any other creatures in the water conservancy, we tossed it so much just now, it would have been alarmed." ”
When people thought about it, they couldn't help but be relieved, "Yes, just now it was another shooting, grenades, missiles, and even bombs, if there was anything in the water, it is estimated that it would have been alarmed." ”
Everyone stopped talking and watched Luo Xiao put the stone into the lake little by little.
The climbing rope in Luo Xiao's hand is a standard of one hundred meters, and he connected two spare ones, with a total length of three hundred meters, according to his estimate, no matter how deep the lake is, it should not be so deep, so he slowly lowered the rope downward.
However, the lake seemed to be very deep, and he had put most of the rope on it, but it was still not to the end, as if it were a bottomless pit.
"It's strange, the lake seems to be bottomless, and that's weird." Luo Xiao felt strange in his heart, he didn't stop moving, and still put the rope forward.
The three-hundred-meter rope was released, but it was still not finished, Luo Xiao frowned, and said to the warriors of the clan beside him, "Give me your spare rope." ”
Several soldiers hurriedly took out the spare rope in their backpacks and handed it to Luo Xiao.
After taking the climbing ropes, Luo Xiao connected them together, and the total length of the rope reached seven hundred meters, Luo Xiao continued to put the rope downward, wanting to see how deep the lake was.
Four hundred meters, not to the end!
Five hundred meters, not to the end
Liu Baimi, still not to the end!
Luo Xiao's brows furrowed closer and closer, and he sped up the speed of putting the rope, wanting to see if he could probe to the end after the 700-meter rope was released.
Suddenly, the rope in Luo Xiao's hand moved, and then stopped, he was overjoyed, thinking that the rope was at the end, so he looked down at the rope to see how much was left.
However, just as he looked down, the rope in his hand suddenly moved again, and this time it fell very fast, as if it was flying, swishing out of Luo Xiao's hand.
All of a sudden, the head of the rope flew out of Luo Xiao's hand and also fell into the lake, causing a string of ripples.
"Commander, what's going on!" Several team members didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly approached Luo Xiao's side and asked in a low voice.
Luo Xiao shook his head and didn't speak, just stared at the water where the rope disappeared, thinking about this strange scene in his mind.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly shouted to the warriors of the clan beside him, "Quick, get out of the lake!" ”
Several of the warriors did not know what was happening, but the commander of the legion gave the order, and they were so nervous that they also hurried back, away from the lake.
At this time, Mo Yanran had been notified by Luo Xiao through the walkie-talkie, she hurriedly put down the work at hand, asked the technicians to pack up the collected things, and then ran towards Luo Xiao's side.
"Mo Yanran, look at the lake." When Mo Yanran came to Luo Xiao's side, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said in a deep voice, "There, the rope of seven hundred meters just now was swallowed. ”
Mo Yanran looked intently, and soon found that the surface of the lake there was trembling, and circles of ripples spread from one center to all directions, getting bigger and stronger.
"It's not good, immediately evacuate the lake and enter the newly opened cave to hide." Mo Yanran shouted loudly, and she and Luo Xiao turned around and ran towards the stone.
After entering the sinkhole, for the sake of people's safety, Mo Yanran asked the multi-functional robot to dig a cave in the stone wall of the stone, so that people could avoid it when they encountered something, so as not to happen again last time.
Now the cave is really useful, people quickly retreat into the cave, the equipment is also moved in, and the entrance to the cave is blocked with a stone.
Luo Xiao and Mo Yanran stood at the entrance of the cave, looking out through the gap, waiting for the change in the surface of the lake.
That is, after more than a minute, there seemed to be movement on the surface of the lake, first the calm surface of the lake shook, followed by a whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake, and it became larger and larger.
Over time, the whirlpool has grown larger and stronger, forming a funnel with strong suction in the center of the lake.
There was a loud bang, and the waves on the lake were surging, and then I saw a tornado that could be surrounded by several people soaring into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the sky.
"Why, the tornado that disappeared not long ago actually appeared again?" Luo Xiao in the cave couldn't help frowning and muttering to himself.
Mo Yanran was beside him, and he also looked at the tornado that suddenly appeared, as if he had expected all this for a long time, "It seems that this tornado is indeed like this!" ”
