Chapter 17: The Ancient Salamander Fighting in the Water
The cracks under the Kunlun Glacier are bottomless, and seem to extend to the center of the mountain range, and a group of people walk in the ancient ice cave formed hundreds of millions of years ago, dark gray crystals can be seen everywhere, reflecting the brilliant glow under the light of the miner's lamp, as if entering a fairyland, all sigh at the magic of nature.
The ice cave was as bright as day in the light of the miner's lamp, but it was still dark in the distance, and there was no sunlight in the ice cave, and there was no day or night, so he could only rely on a mechanical watch to determine the time.
After three hours of stopping, an underground river stopped the way.
"Let's take a rest first, the fat man and I will explore the depths of the water?" Hu Bayi beckoned everyone to rest, and at the same time explained to Gawa: "Gawa, you count the number of people and ask anyone one by one if they are unwell." ”
"Okay! Comrade Hu, I'll go now. Gawa said as she went to ask one by one.
After a short break, Professor Chen carefully observed the stone walls on both sides of the dark river, hoping to find some clues and make further contributions to the archaeological cause.
Hu Bayi took out the mountaineering pickaxe and wanted to go into the water to see how deep it was.
"Old Hu, wait a minute!" Looking at the turbid underground dark river, Qin Luo opened his mouth to stop Lao Hu and said: "The water temperature of this underground dark river is not low, and it is so turbid, I am afraid that there are unexpected things living in it, be careful." ”
"Gawa, come here!" Qin Luo greeted, and Gawa, who was counting the number of people, immediately ran over.
"Brother Qin, you call me." Gava was carrying a big backpack, and she didn't know what was in it.
"Give me the knife and the old hen." Qin Luo said.
"Oh!"
Gava opened the backpack, and there was a live chicken and a lacquer knife nearly one meter long, used to kill pigs, which looked extremely sharp, and was wrapped in a rag and inserted diagonally in the backpack.
"Brother Qin, what do you want the old hen and the pig killing knife in our class for?" Although Gava promised to bring him something, she was very curious.
Lao Hu and Wang Fatzi don't know why, they can't eat a chicken in the Kunlun Glacier!
"You'll find out later!"
Qin Luo weighed the pig-killing knife like a single-edged sword, and with the other hand he carried the old hen, splitting it in half with one knife, and the hot chicken blood sprayed in the underground dark river, and then threw the chicken into the middle of the dark river.
On the other side, Shirley Yang also returned to the team, and found the text of the ghost cave clan on the stone wall next to the dark river, which made Professor Chen and others ecstatic, indicating that this place is really related to the exquisite ancient city, and they can't wait to urge Hu Bayi to cross the river.
"Professor Chen wait a moment, and it won't be too late for us to be sure that there is no danger in the water, anyway, it's not that much time." Qin Luo's eyes stared at the surface of the quietly flowing dark river.
Professor Hao Aiguo saw that he was calm and relaxed, and didn't take their words seriously at all, so he suddenly became anxious and said, "Comrade Xiao Qin, this archaeology is very important, we can't wait any longer." Let's get everyone over. ”
"It's coming!"
Qin Luo's pupils as he stared at the water shrank slightly, and he muttered to himself.
Whoa!
While the others were still wondering what he was talking about, the calm underground river suddenly made a splash, like a huge creature stirring the water at the bottom of the river.
The big man and Gava subconsciously raised their guns and were about to attack, but they were stopped by Qin Luo and said, "This is a glacier, be careful of causing avalanches." ”
Wow~!
The surface of the water continued to churn, and a dark red, five- or six-meter-long, bucket-thick, four-legged, babyfish-like behemoth raised its head from the water.
"There is danger, back off!" Hu Bayi shouted and stepped back.
"This is the ancient salamander, it should have been extinct a long time ago! I didn't expect there to be another one here! Professor Chen exclaimed.
"Gawa, protect them, remember not to shoot." Saying that, Qin Luo did not retreat but advanced, and walked to the river with a pig-killing knife of nearly one meter in his hand, seducing the salamander giant beast over.
"Xiao Luo, come back quickly!" Lao Hu and Wang Fatzi also came over with sappers.
"Hey, hey! Rest assured! This thing is not difficult to deal with. Saying that, the salamander had already pounced, but it was not fast, and they easily dodged it.
The salamander has always lived in the underground river, there is no world, and its fat size does not make it as fast as other beasts, only the huge size seems a little oppressive, but that's it.
A pounce and a roll, the salamander seems to only have these two moves, at first they were a little embarrassed, but they quickly adapted to the salamander's moves, but this guy has rough skin and thick meat, and the damage of the sapper shovel to it is very limited.
Nearly a meter long, and extremely sharp pig killing knife exerted his power, Qin Luo was not unruly to use it, and soon opened two blood holes in the salamander's back, and the long-lost pain made it go berserk, writhing like a big loach.
"It turned out to be a vegetable bag, how powerful did the fat man think it was!" Wang Fatzi estimated the salamander's striking distance, and stood away from the distance and mocked.
Shout!
Just when the fat man was proud, the salamander opened its huge mouth, and a long pink tongue shot out, which directly stuck to one of the fat man's feet and dragged him directly into the water, with great force, and the fat man couldn't struggle anymore as an adult.
Hu Bayi was beside him, hugged Wang Fatzi, and temporarily stalemate with the salamander.
Golden opportunity!
Qin Luo saw the opportunity to act, and with a wave of the pig-killing knife, the axolotl's pink tongue was cut in two by him, and the bright red blood sprayed out, and the smell was extremely fishy.
Wow~!
The salamander's tongue is its secret weapon and its weakness, and when it is cut off, it makes a painful sound, and its huge body turns sharply, rushing down the dark river into the depths of the water, and it actually escapes.
"Ya, I'm scared to death fat man!" The fat man Wang tore half of the salamander's tongue off his body, and muttered, "If I can't use a gun, I have to beat it into a sieve." ”
"Comrade Xiaohu, are you all right?" Professor Chen and others saw them go ashore and came over to greet them.
"Look, it's not that we have something, it's that it's something." Wang Fatzi carried half of the axolotl's tongue and said as if showing off the trophy.
"Good, good! It's okay! ”
Professor Chen said to Qin Luo, who was changing clothes on the other side, "Comrade Xiao Qin, how do you know that there is something in the water?" ”
Shirley Yang and the others also looked at it, if they didn't know that there was something inside, how could they bring a live chicken in advance, isn't this specially used to attract monsters?
"It's just a guess!"
He didn't bother to explain so much, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he made up a lie to fool him, but Shirley Young was even more suspicious of him, and even wondered if he had been here.
After repelling the salamanders and making sure that there would be no more danger in the water, the group began to wade across the river.
"Brother Qin, you are so powerful! It's such a big monster that you can run away without a gun. Gava's eyes lit up and she continued, "Are you a master of martial arts, as the instructor said?" ”
"I'll tell you when we get out."
