017 Waterhole
Zhang Xiangyang ran into some trouble. Baidu search, more good free reading.
Not a lot of trouble, but a lot of trouble.
Steelmane is not a smart little pig, it takes Zhang Xiangyang and gets lost, walking into an underground pool full of water.
"I walked here last time"
Zhang Xiangyang got off the steel mane and looked around the nearby roads.
Steelmane didn't understand Zhang Xiangyang's words, and stood in place at this time and watched left and right.
Zhang Xiangyang couldn't argue with Steelmane, this was not the first time he had lost his way.
The surroundings were dark and humid, and with the help of the dim light of the snake pupil lamp, Zhang Xiangyang began to look at the place.
It feels like at least a dozen hours have passed, and I don't count the time I slept.
Zhang Xiangyang didn't know what time it was, the biological clock in his body had always been chaotic, and the external environment and survival needs made Zhang Xiangyang unable to maintain a normal work and rest routine.
Although he can't walk at night many times, Zhang Xiangyang doesn't sleep much at night, and most of the time he needs to be on guard for some problems.
The vigilance of the steel mane is too poor, and many times the danger is only realized when it is nearby.
If you get lost, you get lost, and it's not the first time anyway.
Even for the first time, Zhang Xiangyang did not blame the steel mane.
Calming down, Zhang Xiangyang now has to face the fear of the unknown and this dark cave waterhole.
This is a waterhole that sinks into the ground, and because of the lack of light, Zhang Xiangyang can't see too far away.
From the top of the dark mountain wall, water droplets drip from time to time, and when they drip on this dark pool, they make a slight sound.
The water in the pool was cold and somewhat cold.
Zhang Xiangyang walked left and right, and saw some fine stones in the fine sand and cold dust.
These things caught Zhang Xiangyang's attention, because these were not naturally shattered things, but they seemed to be caused by some external factors that were crushed into pieces.
This entrance is wider than the previous neat tunnel, about 20 meters from left to right, and much shorter at a height, about a little more than 2 meters. Baidu search, more good free reading.
And the front looked lower, and by holding the snake pupil lamp past, Zhang Xiangyang saw the damp stones.
This is like a waterhole in a dead corner, Zhang Xiangyang looked at it and said: "It should be the stagnant water above that has seeped down." ”
The problem is not this, now Zhang Xiangyang is worried about what went wrong
"Steelmane, let's go, you lead the way."
Zhang Xiangyang let the steel mane lead the way, he didn't have the ability to find a way out in this kind of mountain black hole.
The compass is also useless, and there are mountain walls in the north and south, so how can he walk
Steelmane didn't know how to go, but it looked and walked back when it heard the command to go.
Zhang Xiangyang followed the steel mane, and after walking for half an hour, they turned back again.
The steel mane is obviously going back, and Zhang Xiangyang will leave stone carvings on the mountain wall every once in a while, so it is clear that the steel mane is going back.
This walk-back refers to the way you came in yesterday, not the way you came in before.
"Stumped me to take a fork in the road when I slept"
Zhang Xiangyang couldn't help but think about this possibility, and also frowned and looked at the waterhole in front of him.
It shouldn't have been this path last time, otherwise just by relying on this cold pool of water, you would have killed yourself.
And when I went out at that time, the steel mane was obviously seriously dehydrated, and there were no traces of wetness on my body, so it was impossible to take this waterway.
"It's the rainy season, is this the new road that was created during the rainy season?"
Zhang Xiangyang pondered this possibility.
No, it's always something to try
Zhang Xiangyang took out the spear, and after tightly tying the handle of the spear with a string for a few turns, he took two steps back.
The arm threw the spear at an angle, and Zhang Xiangyang chose to use force in the direction of the water.
The spear quickly fell into the water, and soon floated to the surface of the water due to the buoyancy of the wood on the barrel of the spear.
Zhang Xiangyang placed the rope on the ground, checked the floating power of the spear, and felt the subtle changes in the current.
After more than ten minutes, the spear was still floating quietly above the pool, neither near the water's edge nor farther away.
It may be a rope, but it is certain that the force of the water here is very weak.
The length of the rope is six meters, and the length of the waterhole is definitely longer than that, and the depth is uncertain.
Zhang Xiangyang has always been very resistant to dark places and bottomless water, and is reluctant to approach these places.
But now
There is no choice.
Maybe there's a water monster hidden in it like the black snake last time, maybe it's hiding a lot of piranhas, or maybe it's some strange fish and crocodiles that can release poison.
These are all things that you will encounter along the way.
Zhang Xiangyang was very nervous, worried that as soon as he entered the water, a big mouth would fly out of the dark water to devour him.
Return where you are, bypassing the Black Thorn Mountains
Zhang Xiangyang thought about this possibility, but in the end his choice was to take off his shirt and pants, stuck the dagger in his waist, and stepped into the icy waterhole step by step.
The snake pupil lamp is no longer needed, what Zhang Xiangyang needs is a snake pupil spar that can radiate light in the water.
Zhang Xiangyang, who lives in the age of science, knows very well that this thing must be some kind of radioactivity.
But Zhang Xiangyang needs it now
The cold and biting water in the pool made Zhang Xiangyang very upset, but it was more than ten seconds at the beginning, and when the pool water overflowed his chest, Zhang Xiangyang was used to this kind of cold.
Compared with this low temperature, the cold wind of Changzhu Mountain is even more chilling.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiangyang didn't give himself time to retreat and fear, and sank to the bottom of the water in the next second.
Seeing this, Steelmane quickly stepped into the stream.
More than twenty seconds later
Zhang Xiangyang climbed ashore, and this was no longer the same place just now, but a tunnel that was still dark, but much more spacious.
"Hum Ang Ao"
The splashing water, as well as the somewhat anxious cry, made Zhang Xiangyang, who was shivering coldly, feel a little helpless.
"Why didn't you come here, it's all wet."
Steelmane quickly climbed up from the puddle, and quickly shook off the droplets of water on his body when he got ashore.
Its fur is not the same as that of dogs and sheep, but is closer to the fur of bears, and has strong waterproof properties.
Zhang Xiangyang's body and face were hit by the splash thrown out by the steel mane, and at this time he walked over to check it, and found that most of the animal skins inside were wet, and the pants and coat he had just taken off were also left on the opposite side.
Although I don't want to go any further, shoes and clothes are very important, and it may not be possible to make that kind of beautiful and neat clothes for a long time to come.
Zhang Xiangyang was reluctant to put his shoes and torn clothes, and went into the water again.
This time it was much faster, and when Zhang Xiangyang went ashore again with his wet shoes and clothes, the ugly and hideous pig's head with steel mane greeted him on the water.
If it were an ordinary person, I was afraid that I would be scared to death in the water at this moment.
But Zhang Xiangyang looked at the little pig's head and felt only kindness.
"I almost got stuck here, how did you take me last time?"
Zhang Xiangyang dried his body with the animal skin that was not completely soaked, and chatted with the steel mane.
The steel mane couldn't answer Zhang Xiangyang's question, it approached Zhang Xiangyang and slowly lay down.
Zhang Xiangyang didn't want to use the fur of the steel mane to keep warm, and it was very dangerous to sleep at this time.
"Thank you, but let's get off as soon as possible, let's run together."
Crossing this small pool, Zhang Xiangyang and Steel Mane set off again.
Although Zhang Xiangyang still had a small doubt, he was curious about where the black snake's nest was.
But after passing through the black hole, stepping on a large number of black thorn insect corpses, and driving a large number of black birds out of this cave, Zhang Xiangyang forgot about it.
"It's almost home"
At the end of the two-day and two-night journey to the black hole, Zhang Xiangyang and Steelmane appeared in the harsh and hot light of the afternoon.
