Chapter Ninety-Nine: Poisonous Fish
Li Feihu naturally didn't understand that most of the stalagmites in the rock caves were masterpieces of nature for millions of years, and when calcium carbonate meets water dissolved in carbon dioxide, it will react to produce calcium bicarbonate with greater solubility; When the water dissolved in calcium bicarbonate is heated or the pressure suddenly decreases, the calcium bicarbonate dissolved in the water will decompose, regenerate calcium carbonate and deposit it, and release carbon dioxide at the same time. When the water at the top of the cave is slowly leaking downward, the calcium bicarbonate in the water undergoes the above reaction, some are deposited at the top of the cave, some are deposited at the bottom of the cave, and the stone stalactites are formed at the top of the cave over time, and stalagmites are formed at the bottom of the cave.
It is said that stalagmites and stalactites only grow one centimeter tall and one meter long every 100 years, which is 10,000 years.
Something like this, which has grown bit by bit over thousands of years, is much higher than the hardness and strength of stone, how can Li Feihu pull it with only human power?
Zhou Xuan pressed his left hand on the rock wall, transported the ice gas into the stone wall, and measured the depth of the water downward, and the ice gas reached seven or eight meters away and was no longer able to go down, but the water did not reach the end, but he didn't notice anything like the monster encountered in the Yin River in the United States.
Li Jinlong paid attention to Zhou Xuan at this time, from the beginning of the meeting, Li Jinlong never paid attention to this ordinary young man, because he could see from the surface that Zhou Xuan was at least a person with a not very strong appearance, unlike Lan Gao and the other two subordinates, who knew at a glance that he was an extremely skilled master.
But when he went down to the cave, the blue senior did not pick his two skilled subordinates, but chose this ordinary young man, which was a bit strange, and from this time, Li Jinlong felt that he seemed to be a little distracted.
Until now, Li Jinlong was sure that Zhou Xuan was not as ordinary as he saw on the surface, at least the ear power he showed just now was enough for them to be surprised.
Li Jinlong has practiced ancestral tomb robbery skills since he was a child, and his skills and eyes are naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people, but he has never heard the sound of water when he stands in front of this piece of water at the moment.
After carefully observing the water, and after making sure that there was no way out, he said: "There is no way out of this hole, let's go back and take the second hole." ”
The four people returned from the original road, and then entered the second hole, but after the second hole went forward to more than 100 meters, the hole slowly became wider, and there were fewer curves, and after more than ten minutes of progress, the horizontal area in the hole was almost six or seven meters wide, and it was very flat.
Zhou Xuan suddenly felt an uncomfortable smell, but it was not as strong as the pocket coffin, nor was it so disgusting, but it still made him feel very uncomfortable!
This is the second time that Bingqi has to feel uncomfortable!
Zhou Xuan shouted: "Slow down! ”
Li Feihu, who was walking in front, said again: "What? Is the Yin River waterway ahead? ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head, frowned and didn't speak, shone the bright light in front of him, and walked over slowly.
What appeared in front of the four of them was a pool, about thirty square meters, five meters wide and six meters long, because the width of the hole was only four or five meters, the width of this pool was just extending to the stone walls on both sides, the water in the pool was slightly light blue, the water was not deep, you could see the bottom at a glance, it seemed to be less than a foot deep, and there were some small fish swimming in the water.
Zhou Xuan looked at the pool, and the uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger, but he didn't figure out where he was.
Look at the top of the head, the stone bell ** part of the dripping water droplets, water droplets dripping in the pool, rippling one by one, the small fish in the pool all swim to the surface to compete for the water droplets, as if it is the food thrown down.
When the small fish swam to the water, Zhou Xuan saw the appearance of the fish clearly, it was very strange, he had never seen such a strange fish.
A small round head, two eyeballs are like two very fine-grained beans, slightly white, without a body, and a tail two or three inches long is directly born on the head, which looks like a tadpole, it is also black, but it is much bigger than a tadpole, when he opened his mouth to breathe and drink, Zhou Xuan saw that there were no teeth in the mouth of this strange thing, but there was a red letter stretched and retracted, like the snake letter in the snake's mouth.
But this thing is clearly not a snake!
Something that survives in such a dark place should be mutated, just like the transparent fish in the bottom of the Yin River in the United States, it has not seen sunlight for many years, its body has become transparent, its eyes have deteriorated, and it basically relies on its senses to feel the movement of the outside world.
Li Feihu thought it was funny and said with a smile: "What kind of strange fish is this?" It's like a tadpole and it's not like it, the tadpole can't grow so big, and when it grows up, it becomes a frog and a toad! ”
As he spoke, he bent down and reached into the water to catch the little fish.
Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and hurriedly said: "Don't reach into the water......" At this point, Li Feihu had already put his hand into the pool, and the moment his finger touched the surface of the water, it seemed that a wisp of light smoke rose.
Li Feihu screamed miserably, and quickly retracted his hands, but the hands that stretched out into the five or six minutes of deep water were like stretching into a boiling oil pot, and when he looked at it, blisters appeared, and then the blisters burst, and the skin and rotten flesh fell.
Li Feihu just screamed in pain, Li Jinlong and Lan Gao were shocked, Li Jinlong hurriedly pressed his nephew to prevent him from moving, and tore the clothes on his body to bandage him.
Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "Don't touch his hand, don't touch his hand, this water is highly poisonous, don't let him scratch other places in his body, it will be highly toxic!" ”
Zhou Xuan said and pressed his hands on Li Feihu's shoulders, and carried the ice qi into Li Feihu's arms, as soon as the ice qi came into contact with the toxin in Li Feihu's hands, the ice qi stagnated, and when he was ready to use the ice qi again, Li Feihu suddenly couldn't help the pain, and struggled to shake his hand, at this time, his strength was a little more than usual, and Li Jinlong didn't catch it.
Li Feihu reached back and wiped his clothes on his chest, but no matter how he wiped it, the pain was still there, and wherever he rubbed it, the flesh and skin immediately began to rot.
Li Jinlong couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly dodged away, a few meters away from Li Feihu, but his mouth was crying out in a sad voice: "Feihu...... Don't scratch ......."
If Li Feihu could control himself at the beginning, Zhou Xuan would still be able to force out the poison in his body, although the rotten hands may be crippled, but at least his life can be saved, but he can't help the pain, after a pair of poisonous hands scratch on his body, when the toxins are all over his body, Zhou Xuan can't save him!
Although this toxin is strong, Zhou Xuan can still feel it, and it is still much weaker than the toxin in the pocket coffin, and the current ice qi in Zhou Xuan's body will naturally give birth to uncomfortable or unbearable feelings when it is harmful to Zhou Xuan, which can be regarded as an early warning, from the uncomfortable level in the body, this poison, Zhou Xuan can still stop it.
It's just that Li Feihu couldn't control himself, and after struggling a few more times, Li Feihu fell to the ground weakly, mainly because there were too many toxins in his chest when he grabbed it, and his chest was rotten out of the white bones, and in the wisps of rotten smoke, Li Feihu's body was only a human head, his eyes were wide, his mouth was open, and he trembled slightly, just like a fish on dry ground, and his mouth trembled slightly.
And his body, from neck to toe, only a skeleton remains!
Li Jinlong has robbed the tomb for decades, and there have been many shocking and suspicious things, but none of them have really had an accident, this time, seeing his nephew turn into a skeleton with only a human head left in front of his eyes, the kind of shock and pain is really shocking!
When the blue senior executives were on a mission, they had encountered countless horrors and dangers, but they had never seen such a bizarre thing, and they were so shocked that they opened their mouths for a while!
Only Zhou Xuan, but he, the most ordinary person, was not surprised, because he had seen more dangerous and dangerous things, in the Tiankeng Yin River, the viciousness of those monsters was definitely more vicious than this poison, after all, Li Feihu was the only one who was poisoned, at least it would not endanger the people next to him after taking precautions, but those monsters are different, as long as you are still in that environment, all people's lives are in danger.
After being stunned for a while, the blue senior came to his senses and looked at Li Jinlong.
Li Jinlong's face was full of sadness, and his hands were outstretched, which was indescribable.
Lan Gao sighed and said: "Lao Li, don't think about it, your nephew is also gone, no matter how painful it is, he can't be resurrected, and besides, our preparation is not enough, or we didn't expect such a danger, let's go back and prepare and come down." ”
Li Jinlong's lips trembled a little, and he reached out to take Li Feihu's skeleton away, but he knew that there was still a highly poisonous presence on the skeleton, and there was nothing to be done.
Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled Li Jinlong away and walked a few steps back, persuading: "Lao Li, your nephew is now full of poison and can't move, after we go back and are fully prepared, we will think of a way, and then we can bring his bones back, now, you better go with us first, these holes are full of crises, and it is impossible to be unprepared!" ”
Li Jinlong is an old ghost who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, how can anyone not understand things? But after all, the rivers and lakes that are now talked about are very different from the rivers and lakes in the past, and now getting rich is getting rich, but it doesn't mean that killing people will kill people, it's not an era when you can do whatever you want to be free, there is a country, there are national laws, and things that are illegal, so you have to be secret, and try to act as low-key as possible.
Originally, this cooperation with the blue executive, he still felt that there were benefits of cooperation, after so many years, what time was it as blatant as this time, and Dafang openly did such a thing with the police? Maybe it's something you'll never think of in a lifetime!
Yuan also wanted to take this opportunity to do a good job, not only to help the blue executives do good things, but also to make a fortune for themselves, and after having enough money for a lifetime, he washed his hands and didn't dry it.
But what I didn't expect was that my most valued nephew went like this, although Li Quan was also his own nephew, but his ability and loyalty were far worse than Li Feihu, like after being arrested by the police this time, Lan Gao almost didn't make much effort to clean his mouth, and his nephew Wang Dagui, although he is his own nephew, but in the end there is still a layer of separation, and in the future, his own skills and things passed down from his ancestors can be handed over to Feihu, and he first brought him down this time to let him have more experience, but he didn't expect that he would harm him.
With the blue boss in front, Li Jinlong and Zhou Xuan behind, the three of them withdrew from the mouth of the poisonous water pool and returned to the bottom of the sinkhole.
After Lan Gao locked the safety buckle on the wire rope for Li Jinlong, he pressed the small rotating wheel switch on his waist, and the wheel rotated and lifted him up in the direction of the top of the cave.
Four wire ropes, now only three people use them, Lan Gao sighed, did not speak, and locked the safety buckle with Zhou Xuan, and then the two of them went to the top of the cave one after the other.
When I came down, I didn't dare to go too fast, and I had to pay attention to the things below, it took nearly an hour, but the time to go up was nearly twenty minutes faster, and it only took more than half an hour to go up to the top of the cave.
Zhou Xuan was the last to go up to the top of the cave, and when he arrived at the top of the cave, he saw Fu Ying and Wei Haihong both looking anxiously at the entrance of the cave.
Zhou Xuan let go of his hands holding the steel wire, stretched out and held hands with Fu Ying and Wei Haihong, and the two of them pulled him up to the top of the cave at the same time.
Fu Ying dragged him a few meters away from the edge of the cave, and then hugged him all of a sudden.
Zhou Xuan hugged her with pity and pain in his heart, if all four of them came up, then naturally the mood was different, but now that one person has died, four people have gone down, and three people have come back, how can he be happy in his heart?
And this time it was different from the one in the United States, and there were people like Ito who went into the water that time, and each of them had their own intentions, and the people who went down this time at least did not have such thoughts.
Li Jinlong didn't say a word after he came up, his expression was sluggish, and Li Quan and Wang Dagui were asking him.
"Third uncle, where is my brother?"
"Third uncle, where's the younger brother?"
Li Jinlong muttered, "It's gone...... Your brother is gone......"
Almost all these people at the entrance of the cave on the mountain knew that something must have happened at the bottom of the cave, but Li Jinlong didn't say it, let alone Lan Gao and Zhou Xuan.
The blue senior took off the safety lock on his body, and then commanded Li Yong and Fang Jianjun: "You two and Ling Hui are on duty here, and no one is allowed to enter the cave, if there is anything, contact me directly by phone." ”
Then he instructed Ling Hui: "You go back with us, and then call Director Wu, and ask him to send more police forces to strengthen the periphery of Xiaoyang Mountain, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!" ”
Ling Hui answered and immediately called Director Wu.
After arranging what to do, the blue senior took everyone to Luoyang and retreated, and sat in two cars.
When he was in the car, Lan Gao instructed Ling Hui again: "You call Director Wu and ask him to immediately contact the most famous paleontologists and historians in China, especially scholars and experts who have extremely high attainments in ancient culture and ancient characters in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, I need top people in this area!" ”
