Chapter 074: Giant Caves, Stone Piles, Corpses
I was so shocked that my head immediately lay back down, and the back of my head slammed on the ground with a "bang", and my brain was dizzy again, but I didn't feel pain.
And An Beimo also stepped back, broke free from my arm, and almost fell again.
I thought to myself, I can't escape this plan. I'm now completely weak, let alone fighting back, and I don't even have the ability to parry.
An Beimo recovered some strength slightly, she sat up slowly, and saw me looking at her with a frightened face, as if she wanted to laugh but her face was stiff, and unexpectedly I saw a trace of blush on her face.
"Y-Are you alright? I saw you fall just now, did you get hurt? An Beimo said to me in his usual cold voice.
I hurriedly replied, "I'm fine, I'm just a little out of strength, just rest for a while." ”
"Then you rest, I'll go see a doctor!" An Beimo said a word, slowly got up and swayed to look at Qixing.
I let out a sigh of relief, only then did I feel a pain in the back of my head, and I couldn't help but grin and gasp.
All four of them couldn't move because of overexertion, which shows that they were all ruthless just now, and even the last bit of strength was used up. If one of them relaxes, someone will inevitably get hurt.
In times of crisis, people will burst out of their physical potential and exert their strength beyond ordinary people. And I don't feel tired because I am in a state of high tension. But once you breathe a sigh of relief, all the fatigue will appear in an instant and break the person.
If the energy exceeds the body's tolerance limit, the person will experience a short period of coma, weakness in the limbs, and in severe cases, shock, and even death.
This is a very dangerous behavior! Fortunately, we are all specially trained and our physical functions are higher than ordinary people, otherwise ordinary people may die on the spot directly due to loss of strength.
We didn't have the strength to get up and hurry in a short time, and after Anbei Mo confirmed that Qixing was fine, he took out some concentrated chocolate from his backpack and fed it to me and Shen Hao respectively.
Our chocolate concentrates are high-energy foods that make immediate results when eaten. After a few minutes, I was able to sit up from the floor with my arm support.
An Beimo also took a piece, and then sat on the slope and began to observe the surrounding environment.
It was then that I saw that we had entered the huge cavern, and I looked up and saw that the roof of the cave was very high, hundreds of meters, just as I had expected. There was a crack in the roof of the cave that seemed to have been cut, and the sunlight was shining through that crack.
I've never been interested in man-made so-called spectacles, and I think they're all grandstanding, used to deceive people, and there's nothing magical about it. But I am in awe of the strange sights that nature has formed, and I think that is what it is called true ingenuity.
Person! After all, it can't compare to the natural world.
And that's what I'm seeing, and I don't think it's possible to replicate it no matter how many people or how long it takes. Because humans do not possess the great power of the natural world!
From the top of the cave to the ground, it presents an extremely irregular arc that curves downward, making the whole cave look like a round pot that is upside down on the ground. The bottom of the cave is flat and empty, but there are large and small stone piles everywhere, with different shapes, quite like checkers pieces placed on the ground, and it is not known how they were formed in the first place.
Looking at the stone piles on the ground, I asked Shen Hao, "Beast, what do you think these stone piles are loosely arranged?" Isn't it a bit like a stone henge? ”
Shen Hao looked at it, and didn't know whether to really see it or deal with me, nodded and said, "It's a bit like!" ”
I chuckled and said, "It's not like!" Maybe it's really a well-laid stone henge, just waiting for us to go down and throw ourselves into the net! ”
"Do you think this is Zhuge Liang's Eight Array Diagram?" Shen Hao said disapprerovingly: "I really don't believe that a pile of stones can trap people inside, it is estimated that any formation is made up by the ancients." ”
Being able to tell Zhuge Liang's Eight Array Diagram, I was quite surprised and said, "Oops! Can't you see that you've seen the Three Kingdoms? ”
Shen Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't read the book, but I listened to the commentary." ”
The two of us were chatting nonsense, and An Beimo suddenly said: "I finally understand how that wind is formed, it seems that nature is the greatest designer, and only nature can create such a miracle!" This time, An Beimo's tone was unexpectedly not so cold, and he had a rare feeling of surprise.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a soft snort, and Qixing also woke up at this time.
An Beimo hurriedly helped her up and stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth. Qixing slowly stood up and smiled at us a little embarrassed as we all looked at her.
In fact, a few of us are not much better, in order to avoid the embarrassment of Qixing, I asked An Beimo: "Goddess, you just said that you know how this wind is formed, then tell us about it." ”
The four of us sat together, Qixing took out some nutrients from the backpack and let us take them, seeing this situation, we have to rest here for a while, so An Beimo began to explain to us what she had just discovered.
It turns out that the space here has coincidentally formed a wind loop, and the cold wind poured down from the top of the cave is guided by the passage here. Moreover, the complex terrain in the passage coincidentally forms a wind gathering trend, which is why this strange phenomenon occurs.
At the same time, the roof of the cave and the ground coincidentally formed a channel for wind propagation, and I think there must be another exit there, which is why the wind is so strong.
Shen Hao and I both seemed to understand this physics knowledge, and we couldn't interject. After An Beimo finished speaking, the two of us could only pretend to understand the "oh".
Seeing that we don't seem to be very interested in this issue, An Beimo won't say more after explaining. Then our attention returned to the huge cavern, and I wondered how such a large space was formed, and there were no traces of man-made here, which would be amazing if it were purely natural.
It is speculated that such a space may have been created hundreds of millions of years ago due to the movement of the earth's crust and the convergence of two land masses. The crack in the roof of the cave was not created later, but was probably left behind by the joining of two pieces of land. We are not archaeologists and cannot make accurate judgments based on the situation in front of us, so we can only guess.
With that, we rested for about an hour.
With the help of the medicine, I felt that my strength had recovered a lot, so I stood up and moved, although my limbs were still a little sore, but it was no longer hindering my movements.
In terms of physical fitness, I'm afraid Shen Hao is the best one, he jumped up from the ground and jumped up and down, moving freely, and he really had inexhaustible strength like a beast.
I would like to suggest to you that if we haven't caught up with Dr. Feng and his party after dark, it's best to find a safe place to rest. The battle with the hurricane in the cave just now exhausted everyone's strength, and now the good points are all appearances, and we can't cope with this state if we encounter trouble again.
Everyone agreed, so we packed our things, checked our weapons, checked the ground, and headed for the cave.
When I officially walked into this huge hollow, I immediately felt a sense of insignificance. I didn't think much of it when I looked at the stone piles from a distance, but when I walked in, I found that the shortest of them were more than three meters high, and they came out of the ground in such a strange way, and each pile stood there like a giant looking at us strange visitors.
After walking for a while, I felt a little disoriented, and now all I could see were stone piles, all of which were strange and different, but none of them had any characteristics. If it weren't for the sight of someone on the ground, I would have thought I was standing still.
The stone formation in front of me reminds me of Shen Hao and I talking about Zhuge Liang's eight formations in "Three Kingdoms" just now, and it seems that it is really very possible to trap Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, with a pile of stones.
Actually, I feel the same way as people walking in the desert, and when they see things that are constant and repetitive, they have the illusion that they are not moving at all.
I'm okay at this point, at least I won't get lost along the footprints on the ground. No matter how big it is, there will always be a time when it will come to an end, so we don't worry about the direction.
However, often the things that I take for granted, reality always slaps me in the face.
Just as I had been following the footprints on the ground for more than ten minutes, I suddenly found that I had walked into a relatively empty place. There are noticeably fewer piles of rocks here, and a large clearing has appeared out of thin air.
And the footprints I followed started to get messy when they got here, like the people who had been here before were running back and forth here, and many of the footprints were overlapping and trampling, intertwined, and I couldn't see what was going on here.
At this time, An Beimo said behind me: "At two o'clock, there is a dead man!" ”
The clearing was large, and the light from the roof of the cave was limited, and by the time we got to this point it was so dim that we could barely see, and we had turned on the spotlights to illuminate the way.
When I noticed an anomaly in the footprints on the ground, I stopped the team. An Beimo felt that this open space was quite strange, so she scanned it with the scope of a sniper rifle in the back, and she found a corpse in the distance.
"Alert!" I lowered my voice and raised my gun at the same time, Shen Hao immediately turned around and aimed the muzzle of the gun at our back.
"What's going on? Are you sure it's a dead man? I asked An Beimo.
An Beimo held the sniper rifle and looked left and right again, and replied to me: "Sure!" The head was badly deformed, and the body was covered in blood, and it was leaning on the stone pile in front of it! ”
We all trust An Beimo's eyesight, since she is sure that she is a dead person, we don't doubt it. But the way she said the man's death made me a little strange, how could he still lean on the pile of stones when his head was deformed?
To be on the safe side, Qixing also raised his binoculars and took a closer look, but found nothing. She patted me on the back and whispered, "Let's go and see!" ”
There was silence all around, there was no sound, and I said to a few people behind me: "Defend the formation, keep quiet, let's go!" ”
I am in front, Qixing is on the left, Anbei Mo is on the right, and Shen Hao is last. The four of us defended in one direction each, slowed our steps, and slowly moved towards the corpse's location.
The discovery of dead people again does not bode well.
Now I look at the rockpiles around me and feel that they are invisibly a little hideous, and there is a dangerous smell in the air, and I don't know what strange things are hidden in this clearing.
