Chapter 734: Underground River
As the ninjas of the island countries went into the water, the frogman special forces of Australia also followed, with more than a dozen underwater special forces as the vanguard to sentry, and the rubber rafts of the follow-up killer whales also entered the underground river with guides.
In order to reduce the risk, some teams did not choose to share a rubber raft with the Angry Waves team, but like Du Xiaosheng, they found a lot of fishing boats in the village and followed the large army into the underground river.
The scale of the entire underground cave is very large, and there are no fingers in it.
Unlike the unbearably hot outside, as soon as you enter the underground river, you are greeted by a cold dampness.
Because of the evaporation of water vapor, a lot of small water droplets have condensed on the rock wall at the top of the cave, and they are ticking and falling.
Occasionally, when a drop hits a person's neck, there will be a piercing coldness, which makes people shiver.
Because they had just entered the cave, many special forces were more curious, and turned on the tactical spotlights to shine around.
With the light of the flashlight, Du Xiaosheng and others saw a rare spectacle.
On the top of the cave, there are a large number of stalactites of different colors.
These stalactites are as small as the length of a pen and as thick as a baby's arm, and they are not only transparent, but also come in different colors, reflecting a large area of magnificent jewel-like light under the illumination of the light.
However, it is a pity that many of the larger stalactites in the cave have been damaged to varying degrees.
In some places, bullet marks are evident, and it appears that the armed men in charge of escorting the goods often use the destruction of these magnificent treasures of nature as a pastime.
Karl reached out to break it off, but was grabbed by Bosman.
"Don't touch these stalactite crystals."
Bosman carefully observed these stalactite crystals and said to several people: "Look at these stalactites, they all grow from the top of the cave downward, and they are basically the same size from the top to the bottom, in the form of hollow thin glass tubes. ”
"The environment in this cave is clean and pollution-free, so the stalactites created are as white as white jade and as clotted as cream. They are not easy to grow, and they only grow 1 cm in about 100 years. It's just a pity that such a good place turned out to be poisonous. A hiding place for the peddlers. ”
The boat went deep for several kilometers, and there were many caves and forks in it, and the underground river was sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle, and the river was also wide and narrow.
The situation inside is extremely complicated, and people can only go a few hundred meters deep to make out the south, south, west, and north.
The killer whales' faces were gloomy, and if there was no guide here, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe, and they would probably be trapped in the darkness where they could not reach their fingers.
Carl seemed to be a little slightly claustrophobic, and said restlessly: "It's been so long, why haven't we arrived yet, will this old man Wu play tricks on us?" ”
Joffry was also worried, saying, "If that's the case, then we're in trouble." ”
It's not just Joffrey and Carl who are worried, the special forces of each team are whispering, and the whole team is extremely anxious.
At this moment, a stop signal suddenly came from the front.
Everyone's hearts sank, and Natalia asked the Canadian Tisan Special Forces Corps in front, "Excuse me, what's going on ahead?" ”
The Canadian special forces soldier had a special hood on his face all the time, and he couldn't tell what it was at all, but said in a cold tone: "I don't know. ”
Jofry stood up uneasily, handed the oar to Natalia, and said, "I'll take a look." With that, he took off his clothes and was about to jump into the water.
"I'd better go." Du Xiaosheng pressed Qiao Fuli's undressing hand and stood up.
Qiao Fuli wanted to say something, but saw that Du Xiaosheng had already moved at this time, he lightly touched the bamboo raft, and his body jumped directly to the bamboo raft in front of him as if he had no weight, and his action startled the special forces on the other bamboo rafts.
The bamboo raft was above the water, and it couldn't withstand the fluttering at all, but Du Xiaosheng was like a dragonfly touching the water, his body was light as if there was no weight, his feet were quickly tapped on the wooden boat, and the whole person rushed towards the front almost without a pause.
"Good skills." Many special forces have straight eyes.
Each ship carries different personnel and loads, so the focus is also quite different.
It is not difficult for the special forces present to be able to jump on the bamboo rafts quickly and uninterrupted, but if you want to do something as frivolous as Du Xiaosheng, not only does not let the other party overturn, but even makes the smallest sound, this kind of strength is extremely terrifying.
At the same time that Du Xiaosheng was rushing to this side, the killer whale sitting on the rubber raft had a gloomy face, he knew what Du Xiaosheng was doing, so he didn't pay attention to Du Xiaosheng, but asked the guide directly: "Mr. Wu, we have been here for three or four hours, when will we reach Cangzha's lair?" ”
Old Wu Tou identified the waters of the underground river, carefully flashed the flashlight to identify the surroundings of the cave, turned around and said: "Report to the army, General Cangza's nest is hidden in the deepest part of this underground water basin, and there are seven turns and thirty-six twists and turns, "
"There are hundreds of underground caves here, some of which lead directly to the Mekong River, while others connect to deeper underground channels."
"Not only is the road difficult to identify, but you also have to pay attention to the changes in the water level, there has been too much rain recently, the water in the underground cave has risen too much, and some signs have been flooded."
At this time, the bright light of a flashlight under the water quickly approached, and soon, a figure like a big fish came out of the water, rested on the edge of the rubber boat with both hands and said: "Found it, the mark is here!" ”
As the light of a searchlight shone down, several small transparent fish were frightened and quickly ran away from the water.
A frogman turned on a flashlight and reached out to wipe it on the rock wall, and the scale and dust were quickly washed away by the river, revealing a skull mark carved into the rock wall.
The sign is clear, with an arrow passing through the eye socket and pointing into the depths of darkness.
"Let's go, keep going." At the same time as the killer whale gave the order, Du Xiaosheng suddenly asked: "Elder Wu, you just said that we need to go through seven turns and thirty-six turns to go to Cangzha's lair?" So how many turns have we gone through now? ”
Hearing Du Xiaosheng's question, the killer whale also looked at Old Man Wu, and Old Wu suddenly said, "It's almost there, it should be ...... after five turns and twelve turns."
When Du Xiaosheng heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Old Wu, it's not right." Five turns should be right, after we came in, we chose five forks in the road. But twelve windings shouldn't be right, right? I just remember clearly that from the time we came in, we made a total of 19 detours, which is quite different from the 12 detours you said. ”
As soon as his words fell, before Wu Lao could explain, Yamada in front of him suddenly came out of the water and said to the killer whale: "Captain, in the underground dark river ahead, there are still a lot of wreckage of ships around the large number of white bones!" ”
