Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 61 Notebook
The surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and it can be said that the silence is a bit abnormal. Many enclosed environments are only relatively closed, and if even the air cannot flow normally, it can only be a place of dead silence. And the silence here is unsettling. Not to mention that everything in front of us is beyond what we have seen and heard, and we are still unclear about the rules of the natural environment here. We are an uninvited group of guests in this strange place, and I really don't know how the owner will welcome us.
I thought about it and didn't feel a little upset, but then I thought it would be good to just be cautious. "I said, brothers, why don't we sing a song? It can be regarded as singing about the great rivers and mountains of our motherland, right? Cannon joked a little.
"You think you're here for a tour? When it matters, it's better to be careful. Li Tong reminded vigilantly. Li Tong's words added some unknown flavor to the already dark environment. The whole cave was like a gourd hanging upside down in the air, and the white light shone through the mouth of the gourd, but because the big tree was so large that most of the light was blocked by it, the bottom of the cave was very dim, the moss was slippery, and the visibility was already very poor.
"Did you notice that the vines all seem to be growing around this big tree?" Brother Li, who hadn't spoken for a long time, reminded us at this time. It doesn't matter, but at first glance, it really looks like this, and I see that the vines everywhere are all growing and spreading out around this big tree.
"This big tree provides the nourishment for these vines to survive," I thought to myself, but this idea was not mature, so I didn't say it.
After walking around in this gourd-shaped cave for a long time, we found that we were still spinning in place, and everyone felt a little sleepy, so they simply found an open space to rest. But not far away, the white brilliance gradually turned into an orange-red, and then turned into a scarlet.
"Is this tree going to mutate?" The cannon muzzle said straightforwardly, but also said what we thought. "I'm not sure now, everyone still believes it, I always feel that there are many doorways here." Brother Li also reminded with some vigilance. At the same time, the vines that were wrapped around the big tree were also like life, twisting together with each other, constantly entwining, and after a while, the space had been completely occupied, and there was a great tendency for us to attack.
At this time, only a small area at the foot of the large tree was not covered by vines, as if the vines had deliberately avoided there. At present, the retreat has been completely retreated by these vines, and it can only move forward. The cannon and I picked up the sapper shovel in our hands and cut off the vines that had been deceived by us, but we felt a foul smell hit us, making people feel like the stomach was overturned. And Cannon, Brother Li, like me, had red faces.
"What is this? I'm going to break my stomach. It's like something out of a manure pit. The cannon cursed as he swung his sapper shovel to cut through the vines. Brother Li was also choked by these. As the stench became stronger and stronger, the countless rattans gradually turned from green to red, just like the bright red blood vessels in the human body, and the foul smell was the liquid on the red rattan. Suddenly, a series of red liquid drops fell to the ground, making a burst of clanging sounds, leaving a large black hole at the mouth of the bowl, and everyone was stunned. It can corrode the stones on the ground, and it is estimated that the red liquid is some kind of strong acid or something, and if it is touched by this thing, it is estimated that it will be corroded. And those red veins-like things were still growing, and the gourd-shaped holes were covered like spider webs in the blink of an eye. But at the same time, there is less and less space for us to move.
In desperation, I shone my flashlight everywhere, looking for other ways, and suddenly I found that these red things were very sensitive to light, and where the flashlight was bright, the blood vessels spread out like hiding from the plague god. It is expected that this obscure thing that grows in the dark and damp must be afraid of light, so it is far away. "This thing is afraid of light, big guy turn on the flashlight," I shouted excitedly. For a while, four bright flashlights shot out in unison, illuminating the gourd cave transparently, and those red blood vessels had already retreated to a place beyond the reach of the light.
The four of us followed the path we had just walked, and circled in the gourd cave for a while, making sure that there was no further passage or opportunity here. And now the only way out seems to be overhead, but the distance between the bottom of the cave and the entrance of the cave is hundreds of meters, and whether there is a way to the entrance of the cave is still unknown, so naturally this plan must not be the only solution.
Eventually, we fixed our eyes on the dead locust tree, as it was the only way to get to the hole. Just as he was about to move, he heard the sound of "Dingdong, Dingdong...", and the sound of metal touching the ground was a dark black badge with some stains on it that had been corroded by liquid. Li Tong picked up the badge on the ground with a cloth, and then wiped off the dust on it, as if he was thinking? At the same time, something wrapped in parchment paper caught my eye.
After opening it, it was another notebook as before, and I saw that the title page read: "In the twenty-second year of the Republic of China, five people were companions, in order to seek the treasure, they came here from Chongqing, and crossed the desert and snow mountains to this desperate situation." However, the foreign body here is far from what I have seen, and the ammunition is exhausted, and it is too late to regret it. Remember. At the end of the page, he is signed Liu Mingxiang. I flipped through the pages of the notes on them, and the details of what I had written down and the strangeness of what I saw and heard were all astonishing. Flipping to the last page, I saw another line of text that read: "This is the Netherworld Ghost Realm, but with the Death Huai Huai outside, those who come must beware of the blood vine and the ghost-faced spider, cut it!" ”
Sure enough, what is written in the book is generally consistent with our judgment, and the only thing we don't understand is the ghost-faced spider, who is sacred for some reason. At the same time, the five people mentioned in the notebook, but now they have not found even their bones, and I can't help but feel a chill in my back.
The four of us followed the path to the bottom of the locust tree, and we hadn't paid attention before, but it might be providence to find that the locust tree was growing here.
