Chapter 50: The Ghost Pushes the Boat
Sanji jumped, Lao Huang also jumped, and the boat was fine, and there was no sign of breaking down at all.
I felt a fever on my face, and all three of them were looking at me and reaching out to me.
I barely hesitated to hold Brother Shen, his strength was so great that I stood on the boat steadily, only to see Lao Huang roll his eyes at me.
The boat was still sturdy, and I was relieved, only to find that there were no oars on board.
It occurred to me that in the story told by Lama Rinzen, there were no oars on the boat, but the boat was able to run to the other side on its own.
My heart was beating wildly, this lake looked like a dead lake, even if there was living water underneath, there could be no power to propel the boat, so how did the boat move?
I stood upright, I felt my body stiff, I didn't dare to look down with my neck in mind, and now I just wanted to hurry back to the shore, and this swaying under my feet was very bad, and the thought of me and a lake of corpses was only separated by a layer of planks, and I was furious.
"Damn, you can't row this boat." Lao Huang muttered beside him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the boat suddenly moved, and I was startled, and subconsciously squeezed into the middle of the boat, and collided with Lao Huang "bang".
Brother Shen and Sanji didn't react much, Lao Huang felt a little unbearable, and I saw him boldly glance down, with a puzzled look on his face.
As if he hadn't seen enough, he simply bent down to look, and after watching for a few seconds, he suddenly bounced up, looking surprised.
He must have seen something, and I was so curious that I wanted to die, but I didn't dare to look at it, and I didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing something terrible.
The boat staggered away from the bridge and headed straight for the cave opposite, it was slow and steady, but I was still afraid.
"If you want to see it, you can't run up."
Lao Huang said, we are more than ten meters away from the bridge, and there is no fault so far, so there should be no danger.
As long as I didn't suddenly attack, I wasn't so afraid, but I still couldn't hold back my curiosity and looked down.
I saw a circle of black aquatic plants around the side of the boat, which I had seen on the shore, and they were all sunk to the bottom of the water, but now they had gathered at the side of the boat, and I guess the bottom of the boat must have been covered with them.
Isn't this an aquatic weed, some kind of aquatic animal? The sun shone on the lake and I bent down a little to take a closer look.
It didn't matter, I immediately took a step back, the boat was very small, I tripped under my feet and almost sat down, but fortunately Lao Huang helped me by the side.
Where is this aquatic weed, it's simply human hair! The black and thin, clearly like the hair scattered in the water!
I said how could there be such weird aquatic plants, this lake is so shallow, even if there are aquatic plants, it should be green.
My movements were so great that the boat immediately shook, and Brother Shen looked at me, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
I quickly stood firm, and if I tumbled into the lake at this time, God knows what would happen.
Is there a human head wrapped under every clump of hair?
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, no, the skeletons in the lake were so intact that even human heads would have been gnawed away by the fish.
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I just felt a tingling under my feet, and the thought of stepping on a pile of living hair made my whole body tickle.
No one spoke, they must have seen it, but they didn't want to scare me, and we were getting closer and closer to the dark hole, and my attention was all drawn to it, for fear that dry arms would suddenly pop up inside.
The hole is not high, it looks lower than me, and the width is not large, at most two meters, but it is pitch black inside, and it seems to be very deep and deep.
We really looked like sacrifices to hell, maybe there were no wizards, and the devils didn't show up, I don't know how that wizard summoned those things, but we seem safe now.
The speed of the boat slowed down, and we were only seven or eight meters away from the opposite shore, and this hole was really close to the lake, and we got off the boat and had a very narrow foothold.
The boat stopped, crashing into the snow on the shore with a muffled sound, and Brother Shen got off the boat first, and I followed him.
The hairs under the boat were still there, less than half a meter away from me, and I was terrified, but they didn't seem to be aggressive, and I wanted to see what was wrapped in the hair, but I couldn't see it at all.
Everyone got off the boat, but the boat didn't move, it still stopped there, as if waiting to take us back.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, and I hope we can go back safely.
We stood on the edge of the hole, Lao Huang turned on the flashlight, we only have three flashlights, and the power is still insufficient, no one knows how deep the hole is, we had better save it.
The light entered the cave, and I tensed up and prepared to dodge, but the situation inside was very unexpected, and the flashlight suddenly shone on the opposite wall of the cave, only five or six meters away from us.
The hole is very small, and the end can be seen at a glance on the left and right sides, and it is twenty square meters at most.
Lao Huang took a flashlight and shone it down, only to see a hole on the ground more than a meter away from the entrance of the cave.
The cave looks two or three meters long and wide, the entrance is very irregular, there are no traces of human carving at all, and it is pure natural.
Lao Huang took a picture of the entire cave up and down, except for the hole on the ground, all the other places were rocks.
The rocks in the cave were all gray-black, with dense blowholes on them, and I could tell at a glance that it was volcanic rock.
Volcanic rocks are only found near craters, so is there a volcano nearby?
I quickly turned around to look, and looking at the whole valley from this angle, it really looked like a crater.
If I hadn't seen this cave, I wouldn't have been able to connect this snow-capped mountain with a volcano, there are volcanic rocks, this volcano must have erupted, but it has been more than 2,000 years since the Qin Dynasty, and it is estimated that it has become an extinct volcano.
We walked into the hole, and Huang shone towards the hole in the ground, and the flashlight dissipated into the darkness, and we couldn't tell how deep it was.
The entrance to the cave is small, but it seems to be a vast space underneath, full of jet-black volcanic rock, and it is a naturally formed cave.
I panicked, if it is a tomb built by people, there must be rules to follow, but nature represents the unknown, not to mention the volcanic landform, there must be countless intricate passages in it.
Did the villagers really bury the big man here? I suddenly became suspicious, they didn't record it at all, we just took it for granted that who knew the truth here.
When we came, we thought we were just listening to a story, and the equipment we brought was also ordinary for mountaineering, and the flashlight could shine for tens of meters at most, but now it is dark below, how far is the bottom of the cave from us?
Tens of meters, hundreds of meters, or thousands of meters?
The dark hole seemed to suck me in, and I couldn't help but take two steps back, and there seemed to be a cool breeze blowing out of the hole, like the earth breathing.
It's quiet down there, there's not a single sound, do those legendary devils really exist?
If you want to go down, you can only rely on the rope, Lao Huang looked at me with a strange look in his eyes: "Okay, Daze, unpredictable prophet." ”
Lao Huang's eyes made me uncomfortable, I always felt that he was suspicious of me, I could only smile bitterly, he didn't know how much I had suffered because I didn't have a rope, I have rope dependence now.
Brother Shen picked up a stone and threw it into the hole, and we listened with our ears pricked up, and it took five or six seconds before we heard the sound of landing.
But that's not all, with the echo of the landing, we hear a string of bone-like rolling sounds, and the terrain below must be particularly complicated.
"About one hundred and thirty meters." Brother Shen spoke.
"How long is that rope?" Lao Huang asked.
"A hundred."
My voice is low, the rope is only a hundred meters, and jumping the remaining thirty meters will definitely kill you.
Everyone's face was not good-looking, Lao Huang used a flashlight to shine it again, I saw that the cave wall was full of potholes, the rocks were extremely irregular, and in some places even protruding from the cave wall nearly a meter, enough to stand a person.
"We try to use a rope to get down, and if the situation below is similar to the top, it won't be difficult to climb to the end."
Lao Huang is still very optimistic, but my confidence has disappeared, 130 meters does not sound long, but if it is vertically into the ground but extremely deep, we really feel like we are going to climb into hell.
"I'll go down on my own." Brother Shen suddenly spoke.
"No way!" I refused without thinking about it, Brother God came for me, how could I watch him take risks and stay out of it myself.
"There may still be people in this village, and we have to leave one person outside, but I must go down." I spoke.
The blood curse is mine, I must find the answer myself, Lao Huang looked at me helplessly: "I have to go too." ”
Then only Sanji is left, to be honest, Sanji is indeed a good candidate to stay outside, his fighting ability is stronger than me and Lao Huang, if there is really danger outside, he should be able to deal with it.
Sanji was obviously unwilling, he was about to speak, but was blocked by Brother Shen: "You stay." ”
Sanji nodded almost instantly, but there was still a look of disappointment on his face.
"Listen."
Brother Shen suddenly said something, and as if he sensed something, he leaned down and put his ear to the rock at the entrance of the cave.
I didn't hear anything, neither did Lao Huang, I hesitated and put my ear to the ground, and finally heard a very light sound.
The sound was so subtle, almost completely hidden in the wind, it came from deep underground, far away from us.
I tried to listen, wishing I could have two more ears, but I still couldn't hear what it was, it was messy, it came and went, like some kind of friction sound.
"There's someone walking down there." Brother Shen stood up.
"How so?"
My heart was flustered, and my voice was unreliable, I couldn't hear it at all, but there was a strange sound underneath.
I was ready for it early in the morning, and I had thought that there were zombies down there, but when I actually heard it, I still felt creepy.
Lao Huang definitely didn't think as much, he probably always regarded that story as a legend, and still didn't believe it: "That little bit is not as windy as it is, how can you hear that it is walking?" ”
