Chapter 328: Respite

"Dragon, what else can ...... That Li Niu'er must have known something by mistake, he had fallen into these holes, maybe he saw something, hissed...... Maybe he had gotten something, and that was probably the motivation that caused him to work so hard to hollow out the whole mountain. ”

"Isn't that mountain already dug up? How do you ......?" I wanted to argue, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly thought of a clue that even I had some doubts about before.

There's a problem with the terrain here.,As early as when I first went up to the square well, I noticed the problem.,Just talk about the terrain.,I'm afraid that there is only the sinkhole in the land of Yungui.。

It is extremely rich in karst landforms, and the underground water system washes away the limestone mountain, which collapses the mountain year by year, so that there is a huge crater shaped like a deep well and more than 100 kilometers wide.

The specific reasons for the formation of sinkholes are actually very complex, the formation year should be at least a hundred years, and the disciplines included are even more diverse, I did see some shadows of sinkholes when I first came here, but knowing the material of the rocks on the ground, I felt that this possibility was just a simple similarity.

Tiankeng is mostly in the southwest region, of course, Sichuan also has it, there are more limestone mountains of the same type, but the area where we are located is a little special compared to the nearby, the mountain is composed of most of the basalt, the solidity of this mountain rock is not one or two hundred years of water system can wash and collapse.

If you want to dig a hole in this kind of mountain rock, you must burn it with a carbon fire, and then remove the carbon fire and pour water on the hot rock, so that the cracks in the hard rock can be cracked, so that the shovel can have a gap to break through the basalt whose structure and hardness have almost reached the peak of rock compactness.

Jiang Huai saw that I suddenly broke the line, and said: "Because the bottom of the whole mountain has become a cavity like a honeycomb, the structure and weight are equal to each other, naturally it is safe, if someone is in a hurry and wants to clear up a larger space, but he only knows that there is something underneath, but he doesn't understand the structure, the support force is unbalanced, and the entire top of the mountain, like a cover, is pressed down steadily." What you see is actually a sinkhole, but compared to the other one, only the bottom layer has collapsed, and it is a man-made force that causes the entire mountain to sink into the mountain. ”

"This ......" I was a little unbelievable, although what I saw with my own eyes was indeed a deep pit that collapsed out of the mountain, the four walls went straight up, it was no different from what Jiang Huai said, the whole cavity collapsed as a whole, and the collapse was still the same, and the mountain body that was also basalt did not collapse because of man-made disasters, this is a crater structure similar to the collapse of the mountain, but at a glance it is nearly a kilometer wide, this range should be placed now, and I want to hollow out the mountain, so that the whole rock sinks, That's not a small project.

"But with such a large area dug up for him, what is he looking for? If it's something hidden under the mountain, then you have to open the whole mountain, and what do you mean by dragon? "I naturally knew that Jiang Huai was talking nonsense, but I didn't know why he said that, so I had to ask directly.

"Therefore, there is thinking, you have said it, it is not a small project to put it now, even if it is more than a hundred years ago, Li Niu'er may not be as simple as a simple peasant, if you want to say that he suddenly changed his sex, the ghost will believe it, the only one is that there is only one possibility, he is pretending, and slowly climbed to the top of Qingbaiyuan's power, so to speak, I am afraid that the water king who escaped from the heavenly army will not die well."

"Don't get out of the way, I heard it just now, don't try to fool around." I'm already impatient, Jiang Huai has bypassed the question I asked repeatedly, which is really annoying, but here, it's not good to turn his face, so I have to ask him calmly.

"I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you wouldn't have the courage to continue, as soon as I said, how can you go down?"

Jiang Huai's face was shameless, and he looked at me with cheap eyes. I was a little unconvinced, this was a mockery, and then, as soon as my brain turned, I replied: "If you don't say that I won't go down, there is no direct relationship between the two, you better save it, unless there is another demand, you just kill me, and I won't listen to your nonsense anymore." ”

"Hmph...... Excuse me......" As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Huai laughed twice, and the tone of his voice was a little wrong, his two humming laughs almost sent chills down my spine, I still remember, the last time this bastard laughed like this, it was before he pleaded me to set it on fire.

"You're right, our current position is not too deep, but you don't want to go down, even if I force it. But there's always something that will make you go on your own. I still need to say, a large part of Huang Can's people have already started to search, they have equipment, if I remember correctly, more than two hours ago, they have found their way to the lower level, but unfortunately, my people and them collided with the mask, this is indeed not a problem, but unfortunately there is a half-dead person with them, so, do you want to go down now? "Jiang Huai's words are yin and yang, I almost didn't wait for him to finish speaking, I understood what he was going to say, for so long, until now I remembered the old generation, with his state, it must be no fun to save himself, I'm afraid it was Jiang Huai's people who saved him. Fun read

It may be that the situation was chaotic at that time, coupled with the fact that we had no equipment, and while looking for a way out, they bumped into Huang Can, who was immediately following. Jiang Huai naturally ran away with me first, and the few people left behind to contain the old generation, but the other party is conducting a large-scale group search, the structure here is complex and tight, and if you go out a few meters, you will bump into people coming out of the other exit, they are not equipped, even if the other party doesn't do anything, it is just a minute or two of waiting, suffocating in the water, as long as it is blocked, the other party will have to be caught in a short time.

"You're really thoughtful." I suddenly realized that I had fallen into Jiang Huai's trap, he didn't intend to persuade me, and the words he said were at most to make me happy, but in the end, I had to find that the problem was wrong, and I consumed my own will.

"You can't say that, come, since you want to go down, you'll be full, don't starve to death here first, it's not worth it." Jiang Huai smiled pretendically, and threw me a piece of something, and before I was thinking about it, I had already calmly met, where did he take out the food, and I received the white lump thrown by Jiang Huai in my hand.

The feeling is smooth and greasy, a little soft, but there is also a bump in the hand. Through the faint blue light, I saw that what I was holding in my hand was a fish half an arm's length and the thickness of a calf.

Without waiting for me to thank Jiang Huai, immediately, I found that the fish in my hand was a little strange, and after a few flips and a few circles, I found that this fish was not only white all over, but also had an unusual body structure.

An amphibian living in the middle and high altitude mountain forests and streams was imprinted in my brain, this big white fish has long limbs, the head is flat, there is an obvious body and head space, this thing just looks at the shape, it seems to be a baby fish, but the color, but the whole white, the blue light is not transparent, lifting the strange fish that has died, it seems that the white flesh of the fish body has some translucent feeling.

"It's illegal to eat this. It's not cooked yet, so I can't eat it. "I looked at Jiang Huai, still holding a strange fish in my hand, and I was in trouble.

Jiang Huai didn't reply, he looked down at his feet, there was a pile of small bones with some white flesh on the ground, and the head of a strange fish was in it, he looked at the pile of bones that were burning with blue flames, and gestured at me twice.

The fish must be eaten, otherwise it is not worth starving to death, but this fish may have to be eaten raw, the flame is there, I don't know how Jiang Huai lit it, but what I saw in the blink of an eye was the bone frame that had been scattered into bones, and the hood of the beast's fangs was stacked with white bones. The bones should have been soft, otherwise they wouldn't have been ignited, but the fire that came out was really terrifying. If you use this kind of fire to grill fish, the baked food will surely eat the dead.

I glanced at Jiang Huai helplessly, in fact, there was some resistance, but the reality had no other way, so I had to tear open the fish maw with my hands and rinse the internal organs in the water on the side. This fish is also strange, just the flesh is crystal clear, and even his skin is white and sensen. I studied the strange fish by the light of the fire, and finally realized that this thing was probably not a normal species.

There are many other species of fish that live in the dark environment all year round, and the only ones that can live in the cave water system are these fish-like creatures that resemble amphibians.

Because of the lack of sunlight, the melanin of the fish body will slowly degenerate, and the end result is that the whole body completely loses its color, and the whole body is now white, which is the prototype of this thing after removing all its own organic pigments.

The fish's eyes are still there, but they are completely white, just like its skin color. Thinking about it, this kind of eyeball's perception of light must be completely absent, and it still exists today, but it has not degenerated cleanly.

The taste of raw fish is very fishy, and the soft texture in the mouth is even more difficult to accept than sashimi, I don't know if it is the reason for living in the underground cave system all year round, in short, the bones of this fish are all cartilage texture. After a few clicks, I didn't actually feel much, the most intense period of hunger had passed, and now I was replenished with these raw fish and meat of unknown things, and I just felt like I hadn't eaten it.

The cave we were in had a few inches of water on either side, and for a moment the water rose slightly, but not very noticeably. It wasn't until I saw the water fluctuate and a few bubbles coming out of the water that I came back to my senses. Jiang Huai's movement was very large, a few times ago, there was a similar situation in the water, but this time the bubbles lasted for five or six seconds, I was already familiar with Jiang Huai's temperament, and knew that there was another situation, so I stood up with him together, and asked at the same time: "Is there any movement?" Hiss...... Isn't it time for us to go? ”
