Chapter 166: The Devil's Roar (Part II)
At this time, Kerry left his sadness for Annasum far away in Java, and he finally observed and touched these volcanic cones that had been debated in the geological community up close, the only thing that had some fly in the ointment, on the way to escape, his camera was lost, and the memory card of the camera was full, and he now had to take out a pen and paper, brush and brush on the paper to draw some pictures of the volcanic rock cone, and make some annotations.
"It's definitely not more than 10 million years old...... Kerry carefully observes the weathering of volcanic cones, and makes a rough estimate.
"The island-building campaign was completed 10 million years ago...... If the island is a drift...... So what exactly has it been through...... "Kerry has fallen into the myth that these things can't have been here if mainstream geology is extrapolated...... It's not even possible to appear anywhere in the world......
"No...... It can only be said that they are wrong...... ...... wrong," Kerry comforted himself, finally finding the best evidence to fight back against Kerry, who had always scoffed at mainstream scientific conclusions.
"Kerry...... Kerry ...... "When Wang Xingguo and the others walked into this stone cone forest, many stone cones blocked their vision, and they couldn't see Kerry's figure, so they had to shout loudly.
"I'm here...... Ah...... Help me! Help me! Kerry heard the call of his teammates, turned his head and answered, and moved his foot to the side, but he didn't want a hole in the ground to suddenly appear, and before Kerry could react, the ground collapsed, and when Kerry's body fell, he instinctively wanted to grab something, but his body fell into the hole, and his hand was in a stone crevice, and he hurriedly called for help.
"What's going on?" When they heard Kerry call for help, everyone was about to step forward, but the ground seemed to shake under their feet, and then they heard the sound of "Kara Kala" coming from the ground, like the sound of glass breaking, and then a crack extended to Wang Xingguo's feet.
"Don't move...... Subsidence! Wang Xingguo made a stop gesture to stop everyone from moving forward.
The crack continued to grow slowly, and finally stopped, and the sound of the earth ceased.
"Kerry...... You hold on...... I'll find my way over,......," Wang Xingguo exclaimed, glancing along the crack, which seemed to be bottomless under the black rock.
"Hurry up...... I can't hold on any longer......" Kerry's fingers were digging into the small crack in the stone, his legs trying to kick into the real thing to keep his balance, but his feet were dangling, and he couldn't step on anything, Kerry looked back at his feet, and his head was sweating - it seemed like a bottomless abyss under his feet, and he could faintly hear the roar of a beast below.
If there really is hell, Kerry feels like he's on the edge of hell, and those who scream are unjustly dead, and they will drag anyone into hell if they have the chance, so that he will never be able to live again!
"Stand back...... Back off...... Go to the solid ground, it's hollow! Wang Xingguo asked everyone to step back, untied the backpack on his body, and tried to reduce the weight as much as possible.
"Sherpa, give me the rope ......" Wang Xingguo shouted, Sherpa untied the rope from the backpack and handed it to Wang Xingguo, Wang Xingguo spread the rope, held the rope, and carefully stepped down, he could only be rescued by Kerry's side.
"I ...... I'm dying......" Kerry exclaimed, his fingers were already sore, and the underground roar seemed to turn into a roar, and there were some other strange noises from time to time, which made Kerry's heart furious, but the desire to survive made him concentrate all his strength on his fingers, if it took a while, his fingers might not be able to withstand such tension and would break!
"Don't be nervous...... I'm almost there. Wang Xingguo carefully searched along the edge of the crack, trying his best to find solid ground, but the crack here is getting bigger and bigger, Wang Xingguo glanced at it, still can't see the bottom, bursts of cold air seeped out of the crack, even if Wang Xingguo is such an experienced expert, he also feels a little cold in his heart.
"I'm really dying......" Kerry cried for help, his left hand could no longer hold on, slipping through the crack in the stone, he tried to pull it back, but his fingers were completely out of order, and the overstressed fingers were out of order at this time.
"I'm here......" Wang Xingguo's voice appeared beside Kerry, he carefully moved forward little by little, he saw that the edge of the rock was actually very thin, the thickest part was only 20 centimeters, Kerry's hand was on the edge of the crack in the stone, but he couldn't climb up with his strength alone.
"I've put a noose on you, you put your hand in it......," Wang Xingguo said, he didn't dare to go any further, if he moved an inch further, the thin ground might collapse, he made a noose on the head of the rope and gently threw it to Kerry, who was 2 meters away.
Kerry saw the noose of the rope, his heart was full of gratitude, he put his trembling left hand into the noose, Wang Xingguo saw that the rope was straightened, and shouted behind him: "I lassoed him, pull back slowly......"
As soon as Wang Xingguo's voice fell, he felt that his feet were empty, he sighed, and grabbed the rope quickly, and the Sherpa and others in the distance were about to pull the rope, and they saw that the rope circle was shortening rapidly, and the Sherpa instinctively wanted to grasp the rope, but the rope that slipped quickly burned his hand and made his hand hot, so he had to let go.
"Ah......h
"Bang", the rope came to an end, Wang Xingguo tied the other end of the rope to a strong stone cone in order to ensure safety, fortunately, the fall distance was not long, but Kerry's wrist was strangled by the rope sleeve, he opened his eyes, he was still alive, and when he raised his eyes, one meter above him, Wang Xingguo was hanging in the air.
"Kerry, how are you?" Wang Xingguo asked, at that moment just now, Wang Xingguo could only grasp the rope with his hands.
"I ...... It's okay......" Kerry's hand was dangling from the rope, and he struggled to adjust his posture and grasp the rope with his right hand, which would allow his left hand to relax a little.
Wang Xingguo looked at his feet, it was still bottomless, there seemed to be an angry resentment churning underground, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, Wang Xingguo shouted: "Pull us up......"
The people who came back to their senses hurriedly pulled the ropes with their hands and feet, and finally pulled the two up.
"The underground here is empty, it must have been formed by the cooling of volcanic rock, and there is a sound in the underground cavity, which is the roar of the legendary devil." Wang Xingguo returned to a safe place and said that Kerry's hand was bruised by the rope and was almost crippled, and he needed some medical treatment.
"That'...... Now what? Xia Ruobing looked at Wang Xingguo worriedly and asked.
"Since this area can only be formed in the shallow sea area, then it will not be too far from the sea, we will find a way to cross it, reach the sea, and contact the search and rescue team tomorrow, cannibals will not dare to enter here, this is our advantage." Wang Xingguo has a plan.
"But...... ...... on the map There is no access to the sea. Sharjah reminded him.
"Right...... That's where I wondered, these volcanic cones were supposed to be formed in shallow seas, and they were formed in a very short time, but they don't depend on ......the sea," Kerry added.
"Is it possible...... Was this once a lagoon? Has the sea evaporated clean? Wang Xingguo put forward a point of view.
"Hmm...... It's possible, it's just that it's possible......" Kerry shrugged, he couldn't judge.
"Since the pirates have come and passed through safely and hidden the treasure, will there be a passage in the cave?" Crussell suddenly remembered the treasure, if Wang Xingguo was right, he was already very close to them.
"Maybe." Sharjah Rang added.
"Then we're going to find the treasure...... Maybe there's still a way to live. Crussell said he couldn't go back empty-handed.
"Chen Badai, check all the supplies and equipment, I want to ...... We're going to need to do it a little longer. Wang Xingguo thought about it, Krussell's proposal was not unreasonable, maybe in the high ground near the cave, they could contact the planes of the search and rescue team, and if not, he had to think about how to persevere.
"Food...... Not...... There are others, but they are all not very tasty...... Water...... can barely support a day......" Chen Badai looked at the little equipment left, and now he had to admire the Sherpa that everyone's backpacks were about to be lost, but the Sherpa kept carrying the big bag, and the remaining food in it was simply a lifesaver.
"Proceed with caution and get close to the cone." Wang Xingguo looked at everyone, and now he can only move forward.
Everyone's progress can be described as creeping, no one dares to guarantee where the feet are strong, can only carefully move step by step, step by step, dare to move the next step, such a speed is very slow, the sky is almost dark, Wang Xingguo found a ground that looks solid, looked at the sky is almost sinking sunset, said: "I can only spend the night here, and I am absolutely not allowed to run around at night." ”
The night wind blew from the sea, and everyone heard the roars, roars, and wails of wild beasts...... It's flatter, but everyone misses the treehouse in the jungle, the cold rocky ground mercilessly cooperates with the wind to take away everyone's body temperature, although it is still summer here, but there seems to be a large ice cellar hidden underground, and the surface temperature is less than 15°C! The warm ground heated by the sun during the day quickly turned cold, and everyone had to huddle together in order to keep warm.
"This is the roar of the devil, this is the roar of the devil...... The sea breeze at night resonates as it penetrates the cavity underground...... It then passes through these holes in the ground and travels into the night sky...... The entire island was once connected to the mainland, but it was a volcano that destroyed it and flooded it with the sea...... The flames and smoke in the record must have been volcanoes, and there were other people here who fought for space to survive......" Kerry muttered, he couldn't sleep anyway, although he knew that the terrible sound could be explained, but he still felt a hairy feeling in his heart, as if a monster would emerge from under the ground at any moment, but now his mind was more clear......
