Chapter 64: Speeding

Afraid? Fear! And I promise that putting anyone in my current situation will not feel much better;

But there was nothing in the darkness at the end of the cave, in fact, when I was really in the darkness under my feet, I found that there was still light here, but the light projected by the lava where I was just now was too strong, and the huge contrast made the pupils unable to adapt to the light and dark contrast;

I glanced back at the wall carving, and pondered whether I should turn back to the outer chamber and plunge the dagger into the crack in the floor of the winch and jam the damned underground mechanism, but the thought only passed through my mind, because I couldn't estimate whether it would have a retaliatory mechanism if I did it, and the experience over the years had made me cautious, at least it made me understand that "there are some things that you can do right a thousand times, but if you get it wrong once, there will be no next chance."

Of course, the thoughts that I ignored also included leaving words such as "Wu Luoyin visited here" on the wall of this cave, not because of the fear of this place, but because of the distress of the dagger in his hand, well... I admit it may also be because I'm lazy......

Bypassing almost the same "bow-shaped" secret door, the strong smell of sulfur came to my face, which made me marvel at the cave I had just been in, and wondered how it had been isolated from this corrosive substance for countless years of its existence, but also strange, there was no smell there, and the air was not turbid, and the inside and outside of the door were like two worlds separated by independence;

Accompanied by the pungent smell of sulphur and the burning smell of water, and the dimness of the surroundings, I was at once blind, and I had to tremble and return to the cave which was relatively safe, and hold the dagger and close my eyes for a long time before I came out again;

Sometimes... One thing that may be puzzling to myself is that when I think about how that person left this miraculously created cave, the answer is actually right in front of me, and I didn't even have to trouble finding it......

It was just that after finding this answer, I came across a new problem......

It was actually a small boat, well, and when I really saw it through the strange light that shone from time to time under the water, I realized that it was not a boat at all, but just the jawbone of some kind of huge creature, and this bone was not of any kind of large creature that I knew, and the jawbone had a distinct protrusion at the end of the jawbone, which made the whole bone form a groove, and it was just long enough to accommodate an adult's body, and I believed that the jawbone of no creature would grow like this, Because such a mandible does not leave an outlet for the throat, it does not have the function of chewing and swallowing, unless this animal uses "sucking" to solve the problem of food and clothing;

This kind of discovery was already very strange, but what was even more strange was that this "boat" was always floating around the water in front of me, from far to near and from near to far, such a scene immediately made me realize... There must be a small suction-type vortex in the water, sometimes absorbing and sometimes exhaling, but the siphon effect does not play a large role in such a large semi-enclosed space;

This judgment was soon confirmed, and a school of strange fish, half a foot long, glowing of its own, swam past the stone platform beneath my feet, which made the light around me brighter again, and it was not difficult to see from the way they swam that they were struggling to break free from the suction of the central waters of the cavern in a short time, but this struggle was fleeting, and then it was as if they were pushed in another direction by a current;

I wasn't interested in analysing what fish could adapt to such high temperatures, but at least I knew that I couldn't provoke them, and that it was best to stay as far away as possible, because there could be no aquatic plants in such high temperatures, and then these glowing creatures would definitely not be vegetarians!

During the long wait, I watched the "bone boat" go around in front of me at least a dozen times, but because the distance was too far for me to touch it, it drifted very slowly, and the path was not regular at all, and the closest one to me was about one and a half meters away from the stone platform, but I really couldn't touch it, and I didn't dare to risk wading, so I could only watch it drift to the far end again like watching a slender waist big girl floating by my side;

By the time I had climbed up to the mandible, which had already been petrified on the surface, two or three hours had passed, and my mouth was a little thirsty but enough to endure it, and then I realized that my preparations seemed to be inadequate, and after nearly a day of tossing, I had only hastily eaten a few bites of the short-haired moss on the wall, and as for where the bone ship would take me... How to get it out, and how long it will take me to get out, all this is unknown to me;

The bottom line is that even if it does take me to safety, it will take a long time... By that time I promise I'd been a carrion;

But the course of events proved how redundant this thought was, and ten minutes later I found a tooth half an arm's length in the bone boat, and used it to push the bone boat and itself out of the waters controlled by the vortex into the river;

The temperature around me dropped immediately, and I tried to reach out and fish in the water, which was not salty... I can drink it, and then I tried to fish it again, damn... As soon as my hand touched the water, I saw several underwater points of light rushing towards the place where I touched the water, and I was so frightened that I sat down in the bone groove, and did not dare to probe outward;

From time to time, huge inverted hanging stalactites crossed my head, and from time to time a few birds of light fell around the bone boat, and they looked at me curiously, as if to see me off, but they did not attack me, which was perhaps the best luck in all the misfortunes of the jungle experience;

I didn't dare to poke my head out of the bone boat to see anything ahead, for fear that the strange fish that could glow would suddenly jump out of the water and rush to my face, and the stalactites above my head became denser and louder, until I realized that something was wrong, and it was not the stalactites I saw that were dense, but that the bone ship was accelerating;

By the time I realized this, the walls of the cave on both sides of the river had become very narrow, and there was no light source around it, and I could only judge the change of the river by the faint light reflected off the jewel-like things on the cave wall, until this reflected light flashed before my eyes with the sound of the wind whistling overhead, and a spontaneous howl from my body burst out from my chest to my throat and then from my mouth;

And the speed of the ship was so fast that my ears couldn't hear the roar coming out of my mouth!
