Chapter 251: Bat Cave
Under Mia's coercion, Li Chaoyang walked into the cave, an indescribable smell came to his face, the cave was very narrow, not so much a cave, but a branch of the deep water river, the traces of flowing water on the cave wall were very obvious, a small stream on the ground was flowing slowly, extending along the river bank to the mountain, and the side near the river bank was covered with large and small holes.
The light penetrates through these openings into the cave, so the light in the cave is not as dim as it seems.
"Watch your step." Mia followed.
Li Chaoyang looked down and picked up the shiny white object from the sand, it was a silver coin with the time and place of its minting engraved on it.
Singapore, 1856.
Its owner is British.
Spanish gold coins and British silver coins were found one after another, indicating that the Pirate King's treasure was not groundless, and that it was most likely real and on this island.
There were many more silver coins than gold coins, and the brook was full of them, and there was no end in sight, and it seemed that they were brought to this place by flowing water.
"Looks like we're really on the right track, whatever is in here we're going to go in and have a look, let's go." Mia picked up a few gold coins and stuffed them into her pocket, but she completely ignored the silver coins.
It's a bit cold in the cave, and the further you go inside, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
Surprisingly, the two men walked out of the cave and did not encounter a single crocodile.
Appearing in front of the two was a larger cave, this cave was dozens of times larger than the previous cave, all the river water flowed out of this cave, the bank near Li Chaoyang exposed a large riverbed, a path on the riverbed extended to the depths of the cave, behind them was a gentle slope, the mountain was covered with moss, the cold and clear spring water fell from the sky along the moss, like a rain curtain hanging in the air, and the water mist flying under the sunlight became a colorful rainbow, intersecting each other, layer upon layer, rising from the bottom to the top.
Countless vines hang from the cliffs, colorful flowers sway gently in the wind, and birds chirp up and down among the flowers.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
It's like coming to a lost primordial world.
But this place is not untouched by human beings, and many murals are painted on the cliffs at the exit of the flowing water, and strange patterns made up of countless lines appear again.
Cannibals have been here and have left their mark of civilization here.
The light in the big cave is very bad, and you can't see the end at a glance. Looking at the deep cave and the rolling river, Li Chaoyang hesitated.
"We don't even have a place to hide in such a cave, and the water is very fast, and there are a lot of stones in the water, so it is not a wise choice to go into the water." Li Chaoyang said.
"Are you scared? I thought you had changed, but I didn't expect you to be so timid, do you dare to kill people or are you afraid of death? Mia sneered, kicking a few withered bamboos over. Break it and make it into a torch, we must go in anyway, if you can find the treasure of the Pirate King, you may become the richest man in the world, such a large treasure is worth it when you die, and the cannibals are very likely to live here, such a cave is sheltered from the wind and rain, and it can also defend against wild beasts, which is much better than outside. ”
"Yes, I'm afraid of death, you're not afraid, so I have to rush to death, judging from the traces around it, there are no people living here." Li Chaoyang is not very interested in any treasures, money is enough for him, he doesn't like luxury cars and villas, he doesn't buy any jewelry, and he doesn't have any great pursuits, so he can't play with his life for money.
"If there are no people, it may be a passage, I have seen the terrain, behind this is the largest valley of Elysium Island, you should be there after passing through this mountain, people should be able to come over if the water can come, just do your own thing."
Mia is resolute, she is a pirate, isn't pirate adrift at sea just for money? As long as she can get her hands on the Pirate King's treasure, she will be able to carry out her dreams. She bought a large plot of land in Madagascar, started her own farm, hired dozens of workers to work for her, grew coffee and cocoa, made wine, lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, and lived a life of honor.
Almost all pirates are working towards this dream.
So she will never give up.
The two of them lit torches and walked into the deep cave.
The water is at your feet, and the sound of the murmuring water is particularly loud in the cave.
Li Chaoyang raised his head and found that the roof of the cave was very high, and the torches could not be illuminated at all, and it was pitch black. There were gravel under their feet, and there were quite a few bats hanging on the walls of the cave, and the further you went, the more bats there were, and these nocturnal animals were in a dormant state during the day, crowded together, and from time to time they let out a strange cry.
The ground was littered with foul-smelling bat droppings.
Everywhere the fire flashed, the insects in the feces scattered and fled, and the palm-long worms burrowed into the mountain wall in less than a second.
The crab was very bold, and when people came, they only glanced at it and continued to plunge into the feces.
The ground became slippery, and the two of them moved much slower than the feces.
Suddenly, a small voice came into Li Chaoyang's ears, and he quickly stopped, raised his torch and looked at the top of the cave again.
I saw that the top of my head was all covered by cobwebs, layered on top of each other, as if covered with countless pieces of gauze, and the number was indescribable.
Directly on the side of the river hovered over a web the size of a basin.
Li Chaoyang squinted his eyes and took a closer look, his heart was almost frightened, it was actually a spider!
The spider's legs are a meter long, each one is the thickness of a thumb, the legs are covered with fluff, and the back is covered with white patterns.
Suddenly, Li Chaoyang understood what the cannibals were drawing.
That's right, it's spiders!
The largest spider Li Chaoyang has ever seen is only twenty or thirty centimeters, but the spider in front of him is at least two meters in diameter, and such a huge spider has never been seen or heard of.
The cobwebs were hung with the remains of countless fish, and the muscle tissue had been eaten up, leaving only an empty shell to sway around in the web.
"How ......"
Before Mia's words could be spoken, Li Chaoyang covered him, he pointed to the top of his head, and shook his head to signal Mia not to speak.
Mia looked up and frowned.
Spiders are ugly creatures that have always been one of the most hated animals by humans, and most spiders are poisonous, and humans will either kill them or walk away when they see them.
But the guy in front of him is also too big, which poses a substantial threat to Li Chaoyang and them.
And there are cobwebs everywhere, there must be more than this one, there is no need to provoke them.
The big spider hung upside down on the stone wall, not noticing Li Chaoyang and them.
Mia stretched out her hand to take the gun but was stopped by Li Chaoyang, shook her head, and waved her hand to signal Mia to retreat quickly.
It's all here, how could Mia retreat.
Stretched out his hand and pushed Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang slipped under his feet and almost fell, and stretched out his hand to support the cave wall.
"Smack!"
Something was crushed by Li Chaoyang, and some translucent liquid flowed out of his palm, and when he looked sideways, he found that the mountain wall was full of thumb-sized insect eggs, and it was this thing that he had just crushed.
The spider has no sense of hearing, but its sense of touch is extremely sensitive.
Li Chaoyang hurriedly raised his head, and saw that the big spider quickly turned his head, opened his mouth and let out a piercing scream.
"Sudden ......"
Mia's submachine gun suddenly rang out, and a series of bullets shot through the spider's body, and the spider screamed and was about to flee, Mia followed up with a few more shots, and the muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, and the spider was broken three legs, and could no longer support it, and fell headlong into the river, and was swept away by the river in an instant.
Li Chaoyang looked at Mia with a stunned expression.
"Isn't it just a spider? What is there to be afraid of? Mia blew on the muzzle of the gun and said with a smug expression.
"You're crazy, you have bats!" Li Chaoyang was speechless.
There are not only spiders in this cave, but also countless bats.
