Chapter 273: Through the Cave
We went in with the front foot, the thunder roared outside the back foot, and there were showers, this way, although the vegetation of Wawu Mountain was dense, but most of them were some emerald dyed bamboo, and coniferous pine, there were no fat leaves, the rain was almost unobstructed, and it flowed directly to the ground, plus the terrain of this cave was relatively low-lying, and the showers were very large, and the rain mixed with silt, it poured in, and the surrounding area of the cave was very slippery, and Wang Chuyi and I walked two steps, and almost slipped and fell.
"Lao Bai, it's not a way to go on like this, I think this water flow is quite large, if this cave is in such an environment for a long time, there will definitely be deep water underneath."
Wang Chuyi said as he chiseled into the cave wall with a pickaxe and tied a climbing rope to fix his body.
The entrance to this cave is very wide, I used the wolf's eye to shine into the dark depths of the cave, the height difference inside is very large, the whole cave is oblique downward, at the end of the light, you can vaguely see the flow of water passing by, on both sides of the strange rocks, all formed more than 1,000 years of lava rock.
This is just the entrance to the cave, I estimate that the environment inside will be more complicated, remembering that when I was in Kunlun Mountain before, I also drilled a similar cave, but where the climate is relatively dry, even if there is water, it has long been frozen, at least people can walk on it, and now the water flow in this cave, the impact sound is very loud, and the speed of the water flow is still relatively urgent, if there is no professional tools, it will definitely not pass.
Wang Chuyi was not in a hurry and put the climbing rope down, and said, "I have a small inflatable kayak in my backpack, and it should be no problem for the two of us to sit on it." ”
I nodded, this time I came to Wawushan, because all the equipment was sponsored by Boss Jin, we didn't save him money at all, almost all of what we could bring was brought on, all of them were the most advanced equipment, many tools were made of titanium alloy, small in size and light in weight, although so, our weight was still a little excessive.
Wang Chuyi's climbing rope was almost finished, so we grabbed the climbing rope and began to walk down, and the rain from the soil kept pouring in and hitting us.
After going down to the bottom of the hole, I only felt that there was a big wind blowing in, the wind was mixed with raindrops, hitting the face, and there was some pain, I used a flashlight to shine, and found that in front of us more than ten meters, there was a stream composed of stagnant water, which was dozens of centimeters lower than the position we are standing now, I used the climbing rope to bolt the stones, threw them into the stream, measured the water level, and found that the water depth was more than three meters, the water flow was very fast, I turned on the flashlight to shine in the distance, only to see that the stream was very long, and it had been flowing towards the front of the cave. I don't know where it leads.
Wang Chuyi has already started to prepare the kayak on the side, and after she has inflated the kayak, we will sit on the kayak, this kayak is not big, it is absolutely no problem to carry the two of us, but the equipment on our bodies is too heavy, when I jumped on the kayak, it was obvious that the kayak was sinking down, the waterline had almost reached the limit, we paddled down the current, while trying to maintain balance, not to let the kayak roll over, and on the other hand, we had to master the speed to prevent sharp turns and crashing into the lava rocks on both sides.
Driven by the current, the speed of the kayak is very fast, the oars in our hands are all used to slow down, this cave is high and low, the high place is more than ten meters, the low place, we even have to bend down to pass, and because there are a lot of upside-down stalactites and stalagmites in the cave, two or three times, my head hit it, if it weren't for the tactical helmet, my head would have broken and bleeding by now, but Wang Chuyi because he was shorter than me, but he didn't have these troubles, just sat in front, Controlling the speed and shaking amplitude of the kayak, I have to say that she is also from a military background, and she is much better than me in the use of military equipment.
At this point, the water suddenly became turbulent, and from my experience, if it wasn't a waterfall-like section ahead, it would have been a sharp turn.
"Quick, find a way to slow it down!" Wang Chuyi sat in front of me, his vision was better than mine, and now he was shouting anxiously, it seemed that he had indeed encountered some dangerous situation.
I hurriedly inserted the oar into the water to slow down the kayak, but the water level was too deep for the kayak to reach the bottom, so I had to rely on the resistance of the oars to slow down a little, but to no avail.
At this time, Wang Chuyi already had a panicked look on his face, handed me the oars in his hand, took out the climbing rope himself, made a live buckle, and shook it in the air a few times, just like a western cowboy, and threw the climbing rope out.
Wang Chuyi's kung fu of throwing the mountaineering rope with his hand, I have seen it in the Xiliang Tomb, which is called a fast, accurate and stable, only to see the mountaineering rope turning, and the live buckle on it is directly set on a raised stalactite.
Almost in an instant, the climbing rope was tightened, and the kayak came sideways, and then I saw the situation clearly, three or four meters away from us, there was a very sharp turn, the surrounding lava rock was high and protruding, and there were a lot of spiky stalactites protruding horizontally, if it wasn't for Wang Chuyi just now with the climbing rope to stop the kayak, we would definitely crash into this rock wall, looking at the raised stalactites, I was afraid for a while, if this really hit, Bao Buqi will be poked out of a blood hole.
Wang Chuyi slowly relaxed the climbing rope in her hand, tried to keep the kayak in a good state, slowly approached the corner, when the whole kayak passed through this sharp turn safely, she made an OK gesture towards me, and then let go of her hands, the kayak turned sharply in the water, adjusted the direction again, and slid forward along the current.
After the turn, the water began to slow down, not as fast as before, and we had to paddle twice with oars from time to time, and it was clear that the terrain began to flatten and the water began to widen, and it was no longer a creek, but a river at this width.
Reflecting the light on the tactical helmet, I looked ahead, and from time to time there would be groups of phosphorus fires flickering, in groups of three or five, not too far apart, indicating that there were animal corpses here, and it seemed that what the three poles told us was true.
After walking for a while, the air began to change, it was much drier than when I came in before, but the temperature began to drop, and the further I went, the more I felt the cold wind was biting, and I was already soaked with water, and I couldn't help but shiver when I was blown by the wind.
