Chapter 123: The White Dragon of Gold Eaten

Luo Daxi, who was walking in the front, suddenly said: "It's over, there is no road ahead." ”

Hearing Luo Daxi's shout, several people hurriedly walked to the underground river, and saw that the other side of the river was closed, the river passed from right to left, and there were mountains on the other side of the river and at both ends, and there was no road at all.

The four of them looked at each other blankly, and Luo Daxi sat down on the ground and said, "It's over, it's in vain." ”

Zhou Yuanhang said: "Impossible, people from poor countries will never make such a big effort to make an empty cave, is there another way we don't see going the wrong way?" ”

Hearing him say this, the other three also felt that it was possible, Luo Da jumped up with joy and said, "Then hurry back and find the way, the treasure has been waiting for me for thousands of years, I can't let it wait another minute." ”

Li Hao originally wanted to study this underground river more carefully, and seeing that Luo Daxi was so energetic, he had to retreat back together, and the four of them stared at the pit walls above and on both sides along the way, and they didn't find another fork in the road until they reached the entrance of the cave, it seems that their analysis is wrong.

Luo Daxi sat at the entrance of the cave a little depressed, thinking that he was being played by the ancients, and at this time Li Hao said: "I don't think we are wrong, and the treasure is not wrong, but we have to cross the underground river." ”

Qiangzi also nodded after listening to Li Hao's words and said, "I also think it's right to cross the river." Hearing that Qiangzi also agreed with him, Li Hao took everyone back to the underground river and carefully watched the water.

Judging from the rocks on the shore, the water level is not the highest now, and the water on both sides flows out of the cave and does not reach the top of the hole, and there is still a height of about a foot from the river surface to the top of the hole, because it is winter, and the water level of the underground river, which usually relies on snowmelt, is not the highest.

Hadron looked closely at the top of the cave with a flashlight. It was buckled like a pot lid, and there were many huge stones on the four sides and the top of the arc that stood out from the top, and Qiangzi felt that something was wrong when he looked at it.

Hadron said, "Look at the top, and around. ”

Several people hurriedly pointed their flashlights at it, and under the strong light, the top of the cave was unobstructed, and Qiangzi said on the side: "Look at those raised stones, it should be more than so big, many of them have been truncated." ”

"That's right, the section looks like it's been chiseled. It seems that the size of the stone is quite large. Zhou Yuanhang said while watching.

Hadron: "Why are they doing this?" You don't want to put the tunnel passage here just to knock a few stones, right? ”

Li Hao saw this and thought about it, vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, and said, "Of course not, I probably know what the reason is." ”

The other three asked in unison, "What is the reason?" ”

Li Hao pointed to the river and said, "The answer is in the river." With that, Li Hao walked to the river. He put his hand in the river and stirred it a few times, then said, "The stone they chiseled down should be at the bottom of the river." I just tried it. If they were to carry the gold through the river to the other side, the stones might have been used to sink to the bottom of the water as a channel, or as an aid to people when they were swimming. ”

Hadron came over and shone a flashlight on the water, and the light of the flashlight could not penetrate deeply. The river water can be seen to be extremely clear under the illumination of the light, without a trace of impurities, but the black water surface and the cold breath make several people feel a little weird, and they involuntarily take a few steps back.

While everyone was looking at the water. The aperture illuminated by the flashlight light suddenly split on the surface of the water, setting off a white wave, and a white thing burst out of the water with a rattling sound, and pounced on the hadron at the water's edge.

This time suddenly, the strong son leaned close to the river, and when he found that the water was wrong, the thing had already arrived in front of him, and he bit down in mid-air with a big mouth on the strong son, fortunately the strong son was experienced in a hundred battles, and the reaction speed exceeded that of ordinary people, and the flashlight in his hand was thrown at the big mouth, and at the same time he hurriedly squatted down and rolled over after two in a row.

This sudden appearance made Zhou Yuanhang's flashlight fall to the ground with a shudder, rolled into the turbulent river, and lost two flashlights at once, and the brightness in the hole immediately dimmed a lot.

Before the strong man could stand firm, the little wolf had already jumped up, barked wildly and pounced on the white thing, but unfortunately the white thing turned around and bounced back into the water, and disappeared in an instant.

This scene came and went quickly, Qiangzi covered his chest and walked forward slowly, this time he didn't dare to get too close, looked at the underground river and looked at Li Hao, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Li Hao walked up to Qiangzi, looked at the place where the white thing went into the water just now, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's too fast, I didn't see anything." ”

Li Hao stretched out his hand and pulled the strong son back, and continued: "The white one, it is estimated to be two meters. ”

Qiangzi said: "I saw that big mouth, I guess my head can be swallowed by it at once, even the tongue is white, the teeth are triangular, I have never seen it." “

Zhou Yuanhang still hasn't come back to his senses, his body is still trembling with fright, he let out a long breath, patted his chest with his hand and said: "It's like a salamander, the head is oval, and the tail is also flat and round. ”

Li Hao looked at Luo Daxi, and originally wanted to ask him if he had seen clearly, but when he saw this guy fiddling with a submachine gun in his hand, he said, "Have you seen clearly?" Luo Daxi nodded and said: "I can see it clearly, the white fish, I originally wanted to give it a shuttle, but this imitation broken gun was stuck at the critical moment, and it couldn't be done." With that, Daxi withdrew the magazine, and there was still one bullet in the chamber that could not be deducted, and threw the gun into the water, and now he had four guns in his hand, and he didn't care about one less.

Li Hao said: "Let's see if there are any lighting things in the backpack." ”

Luo Daxi untied his backpack, first took out another gun, rummaged through it for a long time before finding a tactical flashlight, looked up and said, "There is only this one flashlight left." ”

Li Hao frowned and said, "We have to save some use, and after speaking, I turned off the flashlight in my hand, and only Luo Daxi was left with the flashlight in his hand, whole."

The light in the hole was even darker.

As soon as the light dimmed, the flashlight that Zhou Yuanhang had just fallen into the river could be vaguely seen with a faint light, because this kind of flashlight is a tactical flashlight, it can be waterproof at a place of more than ten meters underwater, so it is not extinguished after sinking to the bottom of the water, the light on the shore just now is okay, and the flashlight under the water is not noticed, at this moment the light suddenly dimmed, and the light from the flashlight under the water can be vaguely seen.

Maybe it's because of the turbulent water, the flashlight doesn't stop in the water, judging from the illuminated light, one is shaking around underwater, just when Li Hao is thinking about whether to salvage it, the lights under the water go out all of a sudden, and then there is a rattling sound at the bottom of the water, and the sound of the turbulent water can't hide the sound from the bottom of the water, this sound is like something cracking.

Several people on the shore couldn't help but stand on end when they heard the sound coming from the bottom of the water, and stretched their necks to see what was going on under the water, but the dark water surface and the fact that they didn't dare to go too close couldn't see anything at all.

Zhou Yuanhang was stunned for a while and said: "I know what it was just now, how can there really be such a thing, I thought it was a legend, but there will be no one in reality." ”

"What is it?" Li Hao asked.

Zhou Yuanhang said slowly: "This may be a fish in West Asian legends, the Chinese name should be called gold-eating white dragon, West Asian legends This is an animal as old as dinosaurs, living under the water all year round, white all year round, no eyes, breathing with gills." Their food is metal, and their teeth can easily crush metals and metal ores, and in the past, people could find ores with a high metal content in the vicinity as long as they found such fish. The sound of rattling just now should be the sound of the gold-eating white dragon devouring the flashlight. ”

Luo Daxi blinked his eyes after hearing this and asked, "Then is it afraid of bullets?" ”

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, legend has it that the prospectors will kill it after finding it, and can extract a large amount of metal from its body?" Zhou Yuanhang replied.

Hearing this, Luo Daxi smiled and said: "That's it, then there's nothing to be afraid of, as long as I see it again, I'll feed it a few copper beans." ”

Li Hao asked, "Is there any record in the legend that they lived in groups or appeared one by one?" ”

Zhou Yuanhang shook his head and said: "I haven't said this, but the legend says that those mine owners have only caught three or four." ”

"Then it'll be fine, leave it to me." Hearing that there were only three or four, Luo Daxi completely put his mind at ease, and he couldn't wait to let him meet another gold-eating white dragon now.

"But, but what is that?" Zhou Yuanhang seemed to have something to say, and Li Hao asked, "What's wrong, but what?" ”

"But the gold-eating white dragons recorded in the legend are mostly about ten meters, and what we just saw is only their children. The legend may be exaggerated, but I think I want to warn you. Zhou Yuanhang said.

Luo Daxi heard this sentence like a frosted eggplant and said: "It's not that the master is afraid, but I really don't know how to deal with things that are more than ten meters away, these small bullets hit them and are not like mosquito bites, and ah, I said should we stay away from the shore?" ”

Luo Daxi said while putting on his backpack and retreating a few meters, and the rest of the people also left the shore, just left the shore for less than a minute, there was a sudden bang in the water, followed by a crunching sound, Zhou Yuanhang said: "It should have swallowed the gun of Daxi just now." ”

Luo Daxi stood there, swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously and said, "God, how hard this is!" Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth? (To be continued......)

PS: The gold-eating white dragon is a legendary animal in Central Asia and West Asia, and many mine owners use them to determine whether there is ore in the mine.
