Chapter 51: The Entrance (I)

It may seem difficult to grasp the fact that four people are wrapped in four objects shaped like wooden cages and roll forward with their feet on the cork of the wooden cages, but the facts show that even a native like a mute can learn the essentials in ten minutes.

Because it was walking close to the edge of the forest, the originally expected difficult march in the swamp turned into a complete race, the bald man played happily in the cage, and even wanted to shake off the long vine in his hand several times to go in front of me, we were like four cannonballs fired by the Hongyi cannon, and the difference with the cannonballs was: we only need to fill in the mass, direction, initial velocity and acceleration of the cannonball into Newton's equation, and anyone can easily know where the bullet point is. But now we are blindly moving forward like a blind man touching an elephant, with a dogmatic idea of "not hitting the south wall and not looking back".

Of course, Niu Ye's law of motion of objects was later proven to be a less completely correct theory, which was supplemented by the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics;

For example, when we spent more than two hours walking five or six kilometers and still found nothing, I began to blame myself, why didn't we "roll" in the other direction under that dense forest? Or maybe that's the direction to the "cliff";

This kind of "hilarious" race did not come to an end until I began to faintly hear the roar of the waves, but unfortunately, I only taught the bald man and the tiger how to accelerate by stepping on the wooden cage, but did not teach these people how to "brake", of course, I admit that even I myself had not considered the problem of "braking" before, and in a hurry, I had to turn around and step on the wooden cage in reverse to reduce the speed without rushing out of the "track" and flying to the bottom of the cliff;

But it was obviously a mistake, the slowing wooden cage was immediately hit by the bald wooden cage that "ran" behind me, and the two of them could no longer maintain their balance, until the moment I climbed out of the cage, I didn't know how far the cage had taken me out, and the dizziness and pain that I didn't want to try again in my life made me feel dizzy for a long time to come;

On the other hand, the dumb man and the tiger girl are very calm, the dumb man just fell to the ground when he jumped the "car", his feet broke the skin and shed a little blood, but the tiger girl didn't even hurt a hair;

The bald man was more pitiful, his face was pale, he kept spitting, and his mouth was vague as if he wanted to say something to me, but every time he could say something, he was suffocated by the filth in his stomach;

I think this may be the benefit of the rolling vertigo training at the beginning of my service, after all, a person in the approximate prototype sphere at the speed of human running twelve kilometers per hour, then it also means that in the ten seconds I rolled, the inertia of the wooden cage carried us out for as many as fifty or sixty meters, from such a long distance of inertia, it is not surprising that the bald human natural reaction, and even more, it is a miracle that we were not disabled by this "car accident";

The roar of the water in my ears was incessant, and even the ground below me seemed to tremble a little because of the huge river flowing under the canyon, and the cliff was only about one or two hundred meters from where our cage rested, and it was not until I poked my head out of the cliff to look down at the canyon that I realized how lonely I had been;

This canyon is so deep that I can't judge the distance at all, if I really want to give a judgment, then this distance is about one or two kilometers, the valley is a rolling river like a dragon rushing, the river is very fast, even at such a distance, I can feel its turbulence, there are no bare reefs or shoals on the river, the cliffs on both sides seem to have been cut in half by a knife, neat and without any bumps, obviously the potential valley of this river is at least tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, before it can be weathered like this;

There was no end to the left and right of the canyon, but it was not straight, as the bald man had said before, the cliff canyon did have a distinct arc as if it had wrapped them, which made it impossible for me to judge where the end of the cliff was, and at the same time, the scattered droplets of water slapped on my face from time to time with the smell of sulfur wafting around, and the water droplets came from a flood vent that poured down;

Yes, I can't really find the right words to describe the jets of water that gush out and pour down, it's like some of the barrage dams I've seen when they are flooding, and it's so shocking;

The droplets of water floating on my face reminded me of the boiling pools that the bald man had told me about, and in my judgment it was probably the hot springs that were extremely hot, which gave rise to the steam on the surface of the valley's great river, which were in fact rare, but not none, and as far as I knew of the hot springs in Yellowstone, the temperature in the hot springs could even reach the level of boiling water.

"Bald, how far can we get to where you find the transparent stone?";

I lay on the edge of the cliff, my hands trembled a little because of the dazzle of fear of heights, and even the words to the bald man were a little trembling, but the loud roar of the river covered my voice, and I waited for a long time for the bald man's reply;

I cautiously retreated again, until I was one or twenty meters away from the cliff before I dared to stand up and walk to the three of them, the bald man was sticking his face to the tiger's ass and pretending to be dead, but the tiger girl seemed to be unaware of this, his eyes were staring at the place where white smoke was rising in the distance, but I obviously saw the blinking of the bald man's eyelids and the twitching of the corners of his mouth, as if it was too beautiful to feel, where was the appearance of a coma!

"Get up, don't pretend, now is not the time for you to enjoy it", I said with my foot on the bald man's calf, and the tiger girl who heard the words also turned her head and stared at the bald man for a long time, even though her fist smashed impartially on the side of the grandson's head;

My words seemed to disturb the bald man's good deeds, and his first reaction when he got up was to glare at me, and I understood his behavior, for such an opportunity to be a scoundrel was rare for him;

"Are you dead? It's not dead, help me see how far we're from where you found the clear stone? ”

"I don't know!" , the bald man gritted his teeth at me word by word and said;

"Bald man, please, where is it?" , I grabbed the bald man's arm and shook it, put away the tone just now and said coquettishly, and actually said that I had goosebumps all over my body;

Not only the bald man, but even the tiger girl turned her head and stared at me for a long time when she heard this;

"How did you become a leader like this?" , the bald man muttered and looked around;

I don't know if this kind of lookout was because his vertigo had not healed or because of the tumbling just now, which caused some short-circuiting in his head, and it took nearly ten minutes to enter, and then the lookout turned into exploration, and exploration turned into leaning over and groping, until when he ran back, his face was covered with sweat;

"Wu, it seems... This should be it! But the stone statue that tripped me... Gone! ”。
