Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 60: The Underground Palace
After coming out of the gap, I was so scared that my feet almost softened, not that I was timid, but I was so frightened when I was unprepared, it was inevitable that I was a little frightened.
When I sat there to calm down, the fat man wanted to speak, but I stopped him, "Don't talk to me, wait for me to slow down first." ”
The fat man ignored it and opened his mouth to speak, but I waved my hand and said, "Don't talk to me, I haven't returned to my place yet." ”
The fat man was about to speak for the third time, and when I was about to stop him, he said impatiently, "You fuck, there's hair on that knife." "Give the top back.
When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" ”
Suddenly, the fat man had an expression of injustice, and a "I'll go to your uncle's" look came over.
I took the broken knife closer and saw a few gray hairs on the bloody blade, I sniffed it with my nose, in addition to the smell of blood there was also a special smell, this smell seemed to me just smelled the day before yesterday, I rubbed the hair on the knife on my fingers, the hair was hard like steel wire, it seems that I think I already know what monster sneaked up on us.
After the fat man and I returned to the team, Lanxin was the first to notice that the down jacket on my shoulder was tattered and there was a little bloodstain, so he was nervously concerned.
However, my injury was not a big deal, because my clothes were thick and the gaps were too flat, so I didn't let the monster hurt me too deeply, but it was just a little bit of skin, and a little alcohol disinfection was enough.
When Lan Xin and Yanzi were treating my wounds, everyone already knew that the gap in front of them was impassable, and a sense of disheart immediately appeared on their faces.
"Do you think it's a grave monkey?" The fat man asked suddenly.
"Impossible!" Uncle Jiu, who is familiar with "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts", replied, "Although those monsters just now can be seen to have a certain IQ and know how to communicate and cooperate strategies, but at most they only belong to the species of apes, not tomb monkeys, because tomb monkeys only appear in tombs with dead corpses, and there are several living people here, but there are no dead corpses, so I have ruled out the possibility of ground monkeys."
But I couldn't think of any records in the book "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" about this unknown creature living in a snowy cave. ”
The fat man lit a cigarette, took a heavy puff, and said, "Do you feel that the smell of that unknown creature is quite familiar, and it seems that you are quite afraid of gunshots?" ”
The ghost said to the fat man, "Didn't you see what that monster looked like when it attacked you in the crack just now? ”
"All I can see is Ngawang's sole, what do I see!" The fat man replied to the ghost as he swallowed his cigarette and spat out clouds.
"It's a snow monster!" After Lan Xin and the others took care of my wounds, I suddenly said this, so that everyone's eyes fell on me.
I lit a cigarette and continued, "From the half of its face that I just saw in the crevice, its red eyes, its scream, and the smell of its blood, and its fur texture and fear of noise, all these characteristics add up to a snow monster, and I guess it's a snow monster. ”
After hearing this, the fat man patted his thigh and said excitedly: "No wonder! I said that the unsolved mystery of the world was met by the snow monster the day before yesterday, and it turned out that the underground cavern of this ghost monument was their lair. ”
In fact, what the fat man said was reasonable, the ancestors who followed the mystery of the snow monster in the past probably never thought that there was a maze of caves hidden within 100 meters of the belly of Mount Everest, and the smart snow monster regarded this cave as a lair.
But one thing I can't figure out is that the lair of the snow monster is under the monument, so why is the monument okay? Could it be that the little lama we saw before is really a ghost, and it is not difficult to explain the corpse of the living Buddha in the tower burial?
And what is sacred about the face I saw by accident in the secret room before, and the shadow that has always been only frightening to us and not harmful?
I don't know what happened to Bing'er and Nini? These questions suddenly made my mind dizzy, and it was a fucking pain to think about my brain.
Just as everyone was resting, there was a rush of footsteps from the cave where we had just run, and the footsteps kept approaching us, and we knew that several pairs of feet were running in a panic.
For a while, all of us became alert, and three wolf-eyed flashlights invariably shone at the source of the sound, and as the sound approached step by step, several vague shadow outlines faintly appeared at the end of the wolf's eye pillar, which did not look like a snow monster, but a little like a human figure.
When the running shadow entered our line of sight, we saw that the leader was a burly man about one meter seven tall, the man was clear under the wolf's eyes, his arm was raised high, blocking the dazzling pillar of light, and my hanging heart fell after seeing that there were five or six humans running.
My first thought was of the perpetrator of the previous bombing of the hole, and I didn't know whether it was friend or foe, so I said, "Who is coming!" Report your name quickly, otherwise I will shoot you indiscriminately, master. Lan Xin had loaded his sniper rifle and aimed it at the leader.
"Wu Nian, it's me! Don't shoot. The man said and put down his black-out arm, and when I looked, the gray-headed man in front of me, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese face, and a masculine and panting face, turned out to be Shanzi!
In fact, I had long thought that Shanzi and his group were no ordinary climbers, but I never expected them to appear under this ground.
Shanzi didn't know who in the team said, "Fuck, Bai is happy, I thought this was just an exit, it turned out to be a group of tomb robbers with flashlights." ”
"Who's in the back, you fucking give your mouth to your fat man, I'll clean it up, and scold who is the thief?" The fat man was not happy when he heard that someone called us a thief.
"Who should say ......" The man behind him suddenly heard a miserable scream in the middle of his words, only to see a man as thin as a bone being cut off by a monster that fell from the top of the cave, and this time I clearly saw that the monster was a snow monster.
The snow monster grabbed the man and splattered blood on the spot, and in addition to the blood sprayed out by the pillar of light, I also saw a bloody thing flying from the man's abdomen to us, a piece of crooked intestines, which frightened me and took two steps back.
Since I had slashed a few snow monsters before, I didn't pay attention to the snow monsters when I saw that there was only one snow monster at present, and picked up the sapper shovel and said to the fat man, "Isn't it just a snow monster!" Fat man, let's show them how awesome the so-called "tomb robbers" are! ”
"Just what I want!" The fat man replied, and also threw off the steam shovel and coaxed me, and unstoppably passed through the mountains and their team, heading straight for the snow monster.
Before I got to the snow monster, I saw the snow monster behind one after another, and several big snow monsters salivating came in a hurry, I immediately braked the car, looked at the fat man, and then we both shouted "Run!" Then he immediately turned around and ran away.
As soon as Uncle Nine heard me and the fat man shouting to run, he took the lead and ran in the opposite direction of the snow monster, and Shanzi and their team also ran closely behind Lan Xin, and the fat man and I were at the bottom.
Now my Wu Nian and the fat man's old face really fucking fell to the ground, just now the anger is higher than the sky, vowing to show his skills, now it's good, running faster than anyone else, originally a snow monster is not a problem, but who knows that there are so many at once, and the snow monster belongs to that kind of heavyweight rival, there must be enough space to deal with them, otherwise as long as they are gently patted, it is not just as simple as breaking all the organs, but there is no whole corpse in death.
Having said that, it's better to lose face than to lose your life, after all, life is still more important.
Just when I ran, I found that there was a snow monster in front of Uncle Nine from the hole in the top of the cave, jumping to the ground to block our way, the sudden appearance of the snow monster scared Xiao Jing and Yan Zi into a scream, you must know that the girl's frightened scream is not inferior to the lion's roar, and the cave itself is not too big, the sound is easy to reverberate, so the scream of Yan and Xiao Jing is really deafening, and it is not good to listen to my whole person.
It was precisely the screams of Xiao Jing and the swallow that made people listen to the pain in their brains that reminded me of the weakness of the snow monster who was afraid of noise, and I forgot about such a crucial matter when I was nervous just now.
I saw the snow monsters besieging us before and after, like monkeys who had been recited a tight spell, hugging their heads and roaring in pain, looking at them as if they were desperate to hit the wall and die. Looked at! I immediately opened my mouth and shouted, "Ahh
The fat man also reacted at once, and immediately learned from me where the "neurotic" sang that unity is strength, and deliberately sang with his throat, not to mention that the sound was a snow monster, and I listened to it as fucking uncomfortable.
Needless to say, Uncle Nine also knew the weakness of the snow monster, and he was howling there long before me and the fat man.
Even after Shanzi's group looked at us with neurotic eyes for a short while, they immediately saw the weakness of the snow monster, and began to shout at a loud voice, and I don't know who the hell is singing there, "My enthusiasm is like a fire, burning with a few monsters...... He also changed the words on the spot.
I saw that the snow monster was about to be driven crazy by us, so I grabbed the sapper shovel and rushed to the snow monster blocking the road, and swung the shovel to pick and break the hamstrings first, and then make up for it with hatred at his heavenly spirit cover, and divide it by two.
After the road was opened, everyone's feet were like foaming oil, and they ran away as soon as they slipped through the smoke, and the snow monsters behind them were chasing after them, although we had guns, but that could only slow down the urgency, so we still chose to run for our lives.
The snow monster was extremely fast, and when he saw that he was about to overtake us, the ghost pulled out a grenade* and shouted, "Run, hurry up." "Then he threw his arm at the snow monster with a pull of the ring, and then there was an explosion, and then there was a ringing in the ears, and the whole ear was buzzing, and when the ears were quiet again, we didn't know where to run.
Everyone was already out of breath, and suddenly someone in the team shouted, look, because of the surprise in his tone, so all of us were nervous for a moment, and each of the copied guys thought it was a snow monster attacking, but there was no sound around, not like there was a snow monster movement.
At this time, the fat man found something, pulled the corner of my clothes, and pointed to a person lying on the ground, who was a member of the Shanzi team, only to see that he knelt on the ground, and his body was lying on his stomach looking at the ground.
Everyone was frightened by his sudden move, "There's something down there!" He screamed again, and this time with even more surprise.
I subconsciously used the wolf's eye hair electricity to shine under my feet, only to find that the rock layer under our feet is different from the surrounding area, transparent, and there are some cracked lines, is the mica layer, the mica layer is an underground mineral, produced in the depths of the mountains and its characteristics, but what worries me the most is the characteristics of its book, as long as there is a crack it will affect the fragmentation of the entire rock layer, mica is unevenly distributed in China, Tibet is one of them.
The whole mica layer is like a piece of transparent glass under our feet, and the strong light of the wolf's eye flashlight passes through the mica layer, presenting a faint palace-like scene under the mica, strange! How can there be a palace down here?
I thought it was a blind look, so I took a second look, and this time it was sure that there was a vague giant palace, and this time I seemed to see a figure vaguely?
But for me, who has a fear of heights, standing on such a transparent crystal and looking down is inevitably a little panicked, and I just feel that if I look at it twice, I will become a fucking soft-legged dog, so I don't care if the figure I see is an illusion.
"Be careful, don't move, this is the mica layer, which is particularly fragile." Shanzi also discovered that there was a mica layer under our feet, and suddenly the whole person became nervous.
"If there is a crystal, then there must be an ore." I saw that the kneeling man suddenly stood up, muttered to himself, and then, pulled a dagger from between his thighs, ran directly to the rock wall on the edge of the mica layer, and chiseled up like he had found some treasure, and with every step he ran, the mica rock instantly cracked like a spider's web.
"Old Jin, don't move!" Seeing this, Shanzi squatted down at once, looking extremely nervous and his expression, and he didn't dare to make a loud voice.
And the man named Lao Jin also seemed to sense the danger, stopped, his body did not dare to move, but turned his head to look at the mica, and after the mica stopped cracking, he continued to chisel with the knife, only this time his movements were much lighter.
"Old Kim! ......" Shanzi lowered his voice as low as he could, and shouted in a reproachful tone.
I knew that Shanzi was afraid that if the sound was too loud to reverberate in the cave, it would shake the mica layer and cause the mica to crack at an accelerated rate, but that bastard named Lao Jin just kept chiseling.
Soon the hole he chiseled was shining under his flashlight, and it looked a bit like diamond, which is also called diamond, which is the raw material of diamond, but I am not sure if it is, because usually diamond needs to be formed by crystallization under high temperature and pressure.
But looking at Lao Jin's expression, I guess it is some valuable ore, everyone wants to stop him, but it is too far, no one dares to move their feet, they are afraid that it will increase the rift of mica, just me and the fat man are close to him, but I have a fear of heights, and now I am the most secure to stay put, so I said to the fat man, "Fat!" If you haven't lived long enough, stop the grandson who sees the money, but do it lightly. ”
After the fat man responded, he tried not to move, but stretched out his arm to pat the man named Lao Jin, "I said buddy, are you squeezing the door with your brain, our little life is not guaranteed, you still put that chisel away." ”
But Lao Jin didn't pay attention to the fat man at all, and just shrugged his shoulders, seeing that it meant telling the fat man not to touch him.
The fat man's temper came as soon as he said it, and when he saw that the man named Lao Jin ignored him completely, he grabbed him, dragged him hard, and scolded, "You fuck, you gave you face, didn't you?" ”
But unfortunately, the one named Lao Jin just dug out a stone like a crystal from the hole he had dug up, but he was dragged by the fat man, and the crystal slipped from his hand, and the diameter fell, and at that moment I saw that my eyes were wide open, and my eyeballs were almost snatched out of my eye sockets, and cold sweat couldn't help but come out of my forehead.
The crystal smashed on the mica layer, and instantly I only heard a crisp sound like glass cracking, and the mica layer burst apart, and then before I had time to scold "my grass", the whole person fell under his feet and fell down without losing his center of gravity.
As soon as it fell, the butt was slammed on the rock below, and a burst of pain came from the back garden, only to feel that the buttocks were about to open, and when I didn't have time to seriously feel the pain, it was an inertia to roll down, and the ears were heard by everyone's "ah" sound, and the fat man rolled while "I grass!" "I'll go to your uncle......" intermittent scolding.
Finally, I stopped on a flat rock in a five-body throwing position, and it seemed that it was already the end, and my hands were struggling to prop up my body that was about to fall apart, and I only felt that there was no place in my body that was not painful.
It's okay that it hurts, it means that I am still in the world, and the whole body is full of pain and numbness, which is the kind of feeling that comes out of my bones.
I sat up reluctantly, and after a pause, I asked, "How's the big guy?" Lan Xin, Fat Man, Ghost ......" and named them one by one, and I was relieved after getting everyone's answers.
"Ah——! What the hell is my grass? Knock the fat man to death. The fat man seemed to have been swallowed by something, let out a scream like a pig, and then pulled something out from under his ass.
The fat man shone the thing in his hand with a wolf-eye flashlight, and I was beside him, and I was also curious to see that it was the crystal that was dug up before by the old man named Jin.
It has the size of a walnut, the surface is slightly rough, but there is a hole in it is crystal clear, and it is dark red, the flashlight shines into it, it looks a bit like corundum, because Tibet is one of the corundum mining areas in China, but I don't know much about the specifics, I accidentally glanced at it in a geological magazine, corundum hardness is second only to diamond, is a gemstone formed by the crystallization of alumina, only translucent, transparent and brightly colored corundum can be a gemstone.
The fat man didn't understand what it was, and when he was about to throw it away, I rushed over and whispered in his ear, "Idiot! That's a gem, don't you see that the old gold who just gave up his life and forgot to die is going to get it? ”
As soon as the fat man heard that he was justified, he didn't say a word about the domineering income in his own pocket.
"What are you doing, rascal!" At this time, Xiao Jing suddenly screamed, listening to the sound as if she was being bullied, and the fat man and I shone it with wolf eyes at the same time......
