After dawn, Luo Kang, Lin Zi, and Zhuge Yun walked out of the tent and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Dozens of macaques, large and small, gathered around the three of them, were looking at them with longing eyes.

"Are you hungry? Here, there are cookies! Lin Zi put the compressed biscuit on the palm of his hand and carefully stretched it out to a little monkey.

The little monkey glanced at the big monkey beside him, as if asking for its opinion, and after the big monkey nodded slightly, it grabbed the biscuit in Lin Zi's hand, curled up at the feet of the big monkey and devoured it.

"What's wrong with them? Mt. Nakajo is supposed to be a colony of macaques, how could they be so hungry? Luo Kang and Zhuge Yun saw that the monkeys were pitiful, so they simply gave them all the biscuits.

Lin Zi said at this time: "I didn't pay attention to it when it was dark last night, you guys came to see the water here!" ”

Luo Kang and Zhuge Yun walked to Lin Zi's side, leaned over and squatted beside the stream, and watched carefully.

I saw some dead fish and dead shrimp floating in the water, and there was a hint of rancid smell.

"No, Zhongtiao Mountain is a volcanic landform, and the groundwater should be very clean, even if it rains now, it will bring some dirty things into the stream, so it won't kill all the fish and shrimp?" Zhuge Yun said puzzled.

At this time, the little monkey tentatively jumped to Lin Zi's side, stretched out his forelimbs and gently pulled her blouse, and then ran back to the big monkey's side.

"Do you want us to follow?" As soon as Lin Zi's words fell, dozens of macaques walked away in unison, occasionally looking back at the three of them.

Luo Kang, Lin Zi, and Zhuge Yun hurriedly packed their luggage, ran a few steps to catch up with the monkeys, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to the outside of a group of karst caves, and the stream just now originated from one of these caves.

"It's good we didn't drink the water at night!" Zhuge Yun looked at the cave with a strong smell of sulfur, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

"More than that, you look at the plants around here, the leaves have turned yellow, and these sulfur water seems to have just appeared in the past few days, if this situation continues for a while, I am afraid that the surrounding vegetation will not survive." Lin Zi said regretfully.

Luo Kang scratched his head and said, "But the monkeys don't have food and water, so why don't they leave here and find another way out?" ”

Lin Zi explained: "Macaques are very territorial animals, and these monkeys in front of us should be the ethnic groups in this area, and if they leave without permission and enter the territory of other ethnic groups, there will definitely be fierce conflicts."

Zhuge Yun sighed and said: "We are powerless in this situation, don't worry about them, let's hurry up!" ”

The little monkey seemed to understand Zhuge Yun's words, and it slowly walked up to Lin Zi, wrapped its tail around her ankles, grabbed her trouser legs with its forelimbs, and looked at Lin Zi with big eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Zi leaned over slightly and said to the little monkey: "I'm sorry, we can't help you with this matter, you better get out of here as soon as possible!" ”

After Lin Zi finished speaking, the big monkey came over, gently touched the little monkey's head, and then pulled it away from Lin Zi's side.

"It doesn't seem that simple!" At this time, Luo Kang, who was looking at the entrance of the largest cave, said.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Zi stretched out his hand to stop the monkeys who were about to leave, and asked Luo Kang.

Luo Kang said: "The yin qi in this cave is very heavy, I'm afraid there is something in it." ”

At this time, Zhuge Yun also opened his yin and yang eyes, and he said: "Indeed, why don't we go in and have a look!" ”

"But the sulfur gas is too thick, and we won't be able to stand it." Luo Kang shook his head and said.

"It's not difficult, you two wait a minute." Lin Zi said, walked to the bottom of a protruding rock wall, which was relatively dry, and then took out yellow paper and cinnabar from his backpack, drew two "breaking charms" with his fingers and handed them to Luo Kang and Zhuge Yun.

"Okay, I'll try it first." Luo Kang took the talisman on his body and walked into the cave, and the poisonous gas of sulfur was immediately dispersed.

"It really works! In that case, let's go in and have a look! Zhuge Yun said, and also brought the "Breaking Charm" with him, and followed Luo Kang into the cave with a male and female sword.

The inside of this cave is densely packed with stalactites and stalagmites, some of which are already half a meter long, and under the illumination of Luo Kang and Zhuge Yun's flashlights, the stars are fluorescent.

"The poison gas seems to be thicker, you see, even animals like bats and spiders can't survive." Luo Kang said, pointing to the burrowing animal carcasses he saw along the way.

"What the hell do you think is in there?" Zhuge Yun asked uneasily.

Luo Kang said: "If you want to know, why don't you do a hexagram before entering the cave?" ”

"Recently, there has been some resistance to divination, and it's annoying to think about it." Zhuge Yun said disgustedly.

"Don't talk, there's movement ahead!" Luo Kang felt a chill coming, slowed down, and carefully searched all corners in front of him with the light of a flashlight.

In this way, about a hundred meters forward, a lake appeared in front of the two of them.

"It turns out that the water flowing from the karst cave near here is all here." Luo Kang swept around the lake with a flashlight, only to see more than a dozen holes lined up on the lakeside, and the lake water was gurgling out.

Looking at the center of the lake, the water rises out of thin air on the horizon, which is a sign of the upward gushing of spring water underneath, which is yellowish-brown and the source of the sulfur.

Zhuge Yun said helplessly: "What do you say about this?" We can't dive underwater to check it! ”

"Huh! I don't know how to water! Luo Kang smiled evilly at Zhuge Yun, and put on a posture of inviting you into the urn.

"Your uncle! For the sake of those monkeys, can we be so desperate? Although Zhuge Yun was displeased, he still took off his jacket.

Luo Kang quipped: "There are still many precious plants in this place, and I thank you on behalf of future generations!" ”

"I don't have a grandson as big as you!" Zhuge Yun said that, jumped into the lake, and soon disappeared.

Luo Kang waited on the shore for nearly two minutes, but still didn't see Zhuge Yun come out to breathe, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and he carefully observed the movement on the lake.

Suddenly, he noticed that the bulge in the center of the lake was gradually growing larger, and there was a splash, and then a column of water as thick as a basin gushed out, and its strength was so great that it rushed to the top of the cave, and the water splashed in all directions, and suddenly it began to rain heavily in the cave.

"Suffocation...... I'm ......, pull me up...... Go up......! Luo Kang heard the sound, and then saw Zhuge Yun spinning in the water.

"What's going on?" After pulling Zhuge Yun ashore, Luo Kang asked.

Zhuge Yun knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, and then pointed to the water column behind him and said, "He is the culprit!" ”
