Chapter 40: The Savage Cave (Part 4)
The police dog San'er led the way in front, and we followed all the way to the mouth of a cave.
In the vicinity of the cave entrance, the vegetation has been cleared, and we can no trace of it, but we know on our knees that this cave must be one of the gathering places of those wild people.
At present, there are no wild guards at the entrance of the cave, and it seems that it is easy to get in.
I said, "Captain Yu, take your people, you go to make a few torches, and then come in with torches to find us, and the rest of the people will follow me in to explore the way." ”
With the division of labor, Captain Yu led the people away.
We also touched the hole, and we stuck our heads out and looked inside, and it was pitch black.
The old horse played his hand and I motioned for him to turn it off.
"You're too easy to expose, you haven't used the glowstick before, take it out and use it."
After I finished speaking, everyone took out their special glow sticks from their backpacks.
With a few strokes, the glow stick, which was thicker than the thumb, glowed a faint green light.
It's not as good as other lighting tools, not even candles, but it's better than nothing in this case.
Although this light is weak, if we lean forward, it is enough to illuminate the road one meter in front of us.
San'er took the lead and rushed in first, and we followed.
"How big is this place? How can we find it when it's dark? ”
Now the disadvantages of this glowstick have appeared, and the range we can see is really limited, and we don't know which direction to touch it.
Tony picked up a pebble from the ground, flicked it forward, and listened.
We followed his example and pricked up our ears to listen, but no sound came back.
Tony then shot a stone to the left and a stone to the right.
Both times there was the sound of stones hitting the wall, and although it wasn't loud, we still heard it.
Tony thought for a moment and said, "This should be a passageway, about two to three meters wide, let's just keep moving forward." ”
After listening to Tony's words, I had some confidence in my heart, and San'er began to move forward more quickly.
Just as we had walked forward for about a dozen meters, a light suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead.
I frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tony was also confused and said, "Go over and have a look." ”
We cautiously continued to grope forward, and as we got closer and closer to the light, we gradually realized that it was the end of the tunnel.
We reached the end of the tunnel, only to find that there was a much wider space inside.
"There's no cave, there's a party square here."
"Look if that's a big tiger!"
I followed Zhang Genhuo's fingers and saw that in the middle of the square, the big tiger was lying on a large clean stone slab, naked.
I hurriedly covered Weiyang's eyes and said, "You can't look at it." ”
Weiyang didn't stop me, but obediently lowered his head.
The big tiger was bound by vines and his mouth was gagged, and below him was a group of wild people dancing in circles around him.
At the innermost end of the Savage Circle was an old savage who looked scrawny, and his face was so colorful that he didn't know what pattern he had drawn.
At this time, the old savage swayed from side to side, like a dancing god, chanting words, trembling for a while, and shouting for a while.
In front of the old savage, it is the source of the light we see.
That's a flashlight!
That's right, it should be the one of the big tigers.
I really wondered how these wildlings found the switch for the flashlight, but they did.
In this sinkhole world covered by tall plants, there is little light, and it is estimated that they have never seen such a pure and shining light in their lives.
Recalling that when he met Zhang Genye, he also seemed to have a strong curiosity about the firelight and our flashlight.
I said, "They may have regarded this flashlight as some kind of miracle, you see that the big tiger has been stripped naked, and it is estimated that it will be sacrificed in a while." ”
Zhang Genhuo said: "Then hurry up and save him, this group of savages will eat the big tiger alive in a while!" ”
Zhang Genhuo is right, they have not mastered the use of fire at all, they basically live a life of drinking blood, and it is really possible to eat the big tiger.
I'm also a little anxious, but I can't help it, it's not the time yet.
I said, "Don't worry, you see that there are so many of them, we have little chance of rushing out, it is equivalent to the captain They will bring in the torch and then do it." ”
Zhang Genhuo seemed a little dissatisfied, but he didn't have any other better way to refute me, so he only
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Able to be silent.
Thankfully, the sacrifice of these savages has been a long time, and we have been here for a full five minutes, and the ritual shows no signs of stopping.
Not to mention the wild men dancing in circles, most of them look like young adults.
But that old savage, who looked like he was already old and about to die, could actually dance for so long.
Although I couldn't see the tiger's expression clearly, I could imagine what it felt like to be sprayed on the face by the old savage's spittle.
Probably not very pleasant.
Thinking of this, I suddenly wanted to laugh and said to Tony, "Have a cigarette." ”
The old horse said: "You are not afraid of being discovered!" ”
I said lightly, "Look at those savages, how devout and focused, they won't be distracted. ”
The old horse sighed and said shamelessly: "Then bring me one too." ”
A few seconds later, all of us, except Weiyang, had cigarettes in our mouths and watched the "performance" in the square.
The old horse took a hard puff of his cigarette, spewed it out of his nose again, and said, "I suddenly feel a sense of guilt. The big tiger is suffering in that area, let's actually smoke and watch the show here, I said Gensheng, weren't you anxious to save people just now, why do you look very leisurely now. ”
I smiled and said, "Before, the life and death of the big tiger were uncertain, of course I was anxious, but now you see, this kid is not in any danger of life at the moment, what are we anxious about?" ”
At that moment, a light came from behind us, flickering and dimming.
I'm happy in my heart, it should be Captain Yu, they have already done it.
Sure enough, Captain Yu and the others each walked quickly to our side with two torches.
Seeing Captain Yu's sweaty appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I divided Tony's cigarettes among everyone and lit them one by one.
Captain Yu was a little confused, and said, "Master Dan, what's going on?" ”
I pointed to the center of the square, and Captain Yu looked at the square at the mouth of the tunnel for a while, as if he understood the current situation of the big tiger.
Captain Yu nodded and said, "It seems that there is not much danger at the moment. ”
Ding Feiang said: "I really didn't expect it. ”
I asked, "What didn't you think of?" ”
"I didn't expect Big Tiger to be so white."
