Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 41 10,000-Year Ice Sheet 2
But jokes are jokes, and business can't be delayed. I picked up the sapper shovel and continued to walk into the ice cave. When I first entered the cave, the chill around me suddenly increased a little, and I subconsciously shrank my body. The cannon followed behind him, constantly banging bells with the sapper shovels he carried with him.
We kept moving forward in the direction of the ice cave. The further you go inside, the colder the air gets. And looking at the situation, there seem to be some traces of artificiality around it. I subconsciously looked around, but at this time we seemed to be surrounded by a piece of frosted glass, and the surrounding area was refracted by ice cubes, and it was impossible to see the original appearance. I had no choice but to move on.
After walking for a while, the thing asked curiously: "This ice cave really looks like there is some doorway." I immediately made a booing gesture to stop talking. Because this place is our first visit, in case something happens to JD.com, it won't be fun. After walking for about one or two hundred meters, there was no abnormality, so I proposed to turn back and pull Li Tong and them up.
In less than ten minutes, the cannon and I returned to the entrance of the cave, motioned for Li Tong and them to come up, and then put down the safety rope on our bodies, and then we worked together to pull Li Tong and Li Ge up. Not to mention, although Li Tong's Nizi doesn't seem to be fat, it's quite difficult to pull it up.
As soon as he came up, Li Tong ignored the injury on his foot and asked eagerly: "What's the situation inside?" I pointed to the cave in front of me and said, "If there is anything, let's go in together." With that, I walked straight to the cave, and they followed.
"It's like a dream not to think about it." Li Tong couldn't hide his surprise and curiosity. Surrounded by thick layers of ice, it is a world of ice and snow. This ice sheet, which has been formed over 10,000 years, seems to have created a fantastic scene for us to be discovered. The further we go inside, the space gradually grows, and as the space grows larger, a variety of sculptures made of ice continue to appear in front of us. These things look like they are artificially carved, but they are more of a natural creation.
The ice sheet is supposed to be formed by interloding with the mountain, so the further you go inside, you don't know if you are walking into the mountain or inside the ice sheet. The further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes. In desperation, we had no choice but to turn on the flashlight.
After walking for about half an hour, suddenly an open space appeared in front of us. The space is not large, but like the karst cave, there are countless icicles hanging from the top of the cave and countless icicles standing below. When the flashlight shines on it, the crystal clear ice crystals are clearly visible. If there is enough light here, it can be compared to the ice sculptures in Harbin.
", Master Pao, I've grown so big, I haven't seen such a strange place." After the cannon finished speaking, he went straight to the cave. I hurriedly tried to grab it, but it was too late. Seeing that this cargo was already in front, I could only follow behind.
When I walked into the ice cave, I suddenly found that my feet were very slippery, and the crampons did not play much role. I know that if I accidentally fall on the ground while walking on this, the consequences are quite serious. But at the moment, crampons didn't work as well as they should, so I had to crouch down and slide forward step by step, which looked hilarious.
I didn't take a few steps when I saw the cannon fall in front. I asked anxiously, "Cannon, are you okay?" ”
After about a minute, a cannon came from the ground and shouted, "What the fuck is this?" My ass is about to bloom. "When I heard that the cannon was fine, I was immediately relieved. Li Tong walked behind and said calmly: "This should be a 10,000-year-old ice cave." Because the longer the ice is formed, the harder it becomes. And the ice here can't even pierce crampons, so you can imagine how hard it is. ”
I hurriedly responded to Li Tong and said, "I didn't expect there to be these doorways here." After hearing this, Li Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think you alone can do anything?" ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and I concentrated on sliding forward, trying to find the exit, and if we couldn't find it in time, we would have to go home. I skated forward for about ten minutes, and I don't know how many icicles I broke in my hand, and finally reached the end of the ice cave.
However, there was nothing but pitch darkness here. The cannon was a little disappointed and said, "Why is there nothing around here?" Brother Li, who had not spoken for a long time due to his injury, said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, let's look for it again." After listening to Brother Li's words, the cannon temporarily hid his negativity.
I stepped forward and patted the cannon on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's look again." The cannon snorted and looked around for an exit.
In order to prevent everyone from getting lost, Li Tong and I went all the way, and the cannon and Brother Li went all the way. It was agreed that if they couldn't find each other, they would go back to the previous hole. Li Tong and I searched in the ice cave for a long time, but there were still no clues, and the two of us were inevitably a little discouraged after a long time. Suddenly, I remembered the human skin map in Li Tong's backpack. I said excitedly, "Miss Li, hurry, quickly take out the human skin map." ”
Li Tong heard me say this, put his backpack on the ground and took out the human skin map from it, and spread it on his lap, I took the human skin map, and carefully checked it to find the entrance. I searched carefully several times, but still didn't find any information. And Li Tong continued to take the picture and continue to search.
I hung my head and said, "It seems that this picture will not work." "I thought that Li Tong would be fertile and comforting, but surprisingly, this girl didn't give me any response. I couldn't help but lean my head close to the human skin map, and I saw Li Tong looking at a pattern as if he was concentrating on something.
This pattern is located in the bottom right corner of the map, and if you don't look closely, it's easy to ignore it. I continued to look closer, trying to get a better look at the group, and the yellowed human skin map had a black line on it that looked like a long dragon, and there was a large space in the dragon's belly that stood out, and there was a text on it. Since my English level is not up to the table, and I have been lost for a few years, I can only rely on Li Tong's translation. I only heard Li Tong's innermost silently recited: "The top of the Tianshan Mountain, the belly of the dragon, the clouds open and the fog disperses." Listen to Li Tong's readers' words, but the meaning is unpredictable.
Li Tong slowly put down the human skin map and said abruptly: "This sentence seems to be supposed to remind us where the entrance is, but the clouds are open and the fog is dispersed, and I don't know how to explain it." I took the human skin map from Li Tong's hand and thought carefully: "According to the above, we should be the belly of the dragon here, so according to the distribution of the five elements and gossip, Xun should be in charge of the wind, maybe Xun is where the exit is." ”
