Volume 1 The Hundred Waterfalls of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 17 The Escape Road
When my consciousness returned to my body little by little, I saw a pitch black, cold wind swept through my body, and my consciousness was slowly transmitted from my brain to my body, I knew that I was still alive, groping for a wolf's tooth flashlight, at this time my eye mask could not accept the bright light, I changed from my backpack to a miner's lamp to see where I was.
The moment the light appeared, I was still stabbed to tears, the excessive running made my whole body sore, I turned my head to look around, and found that I was still lying in the fainted position, not far in front of me A pool of golden blood was left on the ground, I knew that it was from the Titan Python.
I didn't have the heart to congratulate myself on not dying, and I didn't think about why the python didn't kill me, maybe it wasn't long enough in the end, after all, its entire body was entangled in iron cables, and its range of motion was limited.
I still didn't dare to stay where I was for too long, and dragged my tired body to the top of the cemetery for more than half an hour, until I saw a cave before turning around and walking in to sit down and rest.
Physically and mentally exhausted, I didn't even want to turn on the miner's lamp, so I leaned against the wall and opened my eyes, my brain was in chaos, and I fell into despair at the moment, I believed that the top of this cliff waterfall was the exit, but not to mention how high it was, I don't know if there were any unknown creatures in the waterfall, and I couldn't climb up such a waterfall with human power.
Look at the bottom of the waterfall, even if it is an exit along the waterfall, but such a prehistoric giant beast inhabits there, who can survive?
It's not that I don't have a strong desire to survive, on the contrary, I am extremely eager to get out alive, but this is the real heaven has no way, there is no way to enter the earth, the environment is still so bad, my little confidence has really been shattered.
At this moment, I don't want to think about anything, I don't even want to move to eat to replenish my body functions and calories, I just want to fall asleep slowly like this, and never wake up again, but as soon as I close my eyes, the appearance of the titan python that is still fierce with iron cables running through it comes to mind.
"Grass!"
I couldn't help but scold, laughed self-deprecatingly, took out compressed biscuits and purified water from my backpack and ate them in a big gulp, and then nibbled on a piece of special beef jerky, which is easy to carry and does not take up space, I brought a lot of it.
It seems that I really don't want to wait for death, after recovering some physical strength, my slightest desire to survive has grown like weeds after spring, and then my brain cells have also become active.
Actually, I'm not completely hopeless of escaping! I poked my head out of the cave and took a heavy breath of air and pondered.
Boat! That huge black ship is my only escape tool, I guess this is probably the so-called life of a man to leave a line, nine deaths, I don't believe I can't seize this chance to live!
I have figured out the terrain and general structure of this abyss before, and now I am in a position that is almost more than thirty meters high above the iron cable, and the Titan Python is absolutely unable to break through the dense and crisscrossed iron net, my opportunity is to quietly touch down from this cave and jump on the iron net, and then find the position of the boat, fifteen meters, as long as I can find a way to jump fifteen meters without being killed, I can escape by the boat, I don't know if I will drive the boat, But once you have hoisted the sails and untied the chains, you will definitely be able to set sail.
The only bet I have to make is that the ship will be able to withstand the Titan Python's attack, and then let me escape to a safe distance, and if I'm lucky, I'll even be able to make my way down the Abyss Falls to the outside of the tomb and see the light of day again!
That's it!
I took a deep breath, put on my backpack and leaned out of the cave, I have done these things a few times and am used to it, I firmly grasped the iron cable in the waterfall and passed through the waterfall and looked at it, because I didn't dare to turn on the miner's lamp for the time being I didn't see the Titan python, but its volume must have a lot of movement as long as it moved, and the python's breath was very heavy, and the smell was incomparable, and it didn't smell it for the time being.
I felt a little bit of falling, almost ten minutes passed, more than 30 meters of distance was safely crossed by me, I clearly felt that my feet were stepping on the iron cable, no accident this is that layer of iron net!
At this time, my heart was beating very fast, and my whole body was trembling slightly, knowing that even if it was discovered by the Titan Python, it would not be able to break through this iron net, but the thought that it was fifteen meters below me made me tremble.
Little by little, I felt my way on the iron net, and the network formed by the iron wire was very dense, and I stood on it very steadily, and as long as I was not stupid, I would not fall down as long as I stepped into a gap at the same time.
After walking for about ten minutes, I felt that the general orientation was not wrong, the black boat was almost in this position, but I still didn't dare to be sure, after all, the momentum of the stormy waves of the waterfall greatly affected my judgment, I sat down and rested for a while, tightened my expedition suit, and the long-term mental overtension made my mouth a little dry, I drank a few sips of pure water to slow down, and then took out the wolf's tooth flashlight, this thing is more effective than a mining lamp at this time, and can also be used as a weapon.
At this time, I secretly congratulated myself on my luck, everything went according to my plan in an orderly manner, there was no deviation, I pushed the flashlight, a glimmer of light pierced me and immediately closed my eyes, two or three seconds later I got used to this light, opened my eyes, and then, I couldn't believe what I saw.
The huge snake head of the Titan Python was on the other side of the iron net, it stood upright, just stared at me through the iron net, its cold eyes were motionless, and my blood suddenly surged up to the point that my head was about to explode, and I was even frightened to move.
Suddenly, the titan python opened its mouth and bit over, the fishy smell came to my face like a heat wave, this time I was not stunned, but I was also shocked by this momentum and couldn't move my steps, I thought that this time I must be in a catastrophe.
But what I didn't expect was that the python didn't bite me, and it didn't even touch me, its whole head hit the iron cable, and a mouthful of sharp and poisonous fangs all bit on the iron cable.
Me: "?? ”
I was knocked over a few times by its great force, although my whole body was sore, but I was still confused, and I lay on the iron mesh like a dead man, I don't know whether it was surprise or excitement.
In the end, it was the crazy roar of the python and the impact of the iron rope that brought me back to my senses, I got up on my knees, squinted at the python, I don't know what psychology, I actually used a wolf's tooth flashlight to tease it, and let me find something that almost surprised me to scream.
This python may have been accustomed to the dark underwater environment for a long time, it moves and attacks with the light and shadow of my flashlight, and it bites and hits wherever I stay in the light!
Opportunity!!
Sure enough, God will not give up anyone who does not give up on himself, I know that my chance to escape has come, and the opportunity of nine deaths and life completely appeared in front of me, I first turned off the wolf's tooth flashlight, and the Titan Python gradually quieted down, and then I used transparent tape to fix the miner's lamp that was about to run out of electricity on the iron cable, and then turned on the light and ran away, and sure enough, the Titan Python immediately appeared in the light and shadow position.
I had just memorized the location of the black ship in my mind, and I ran over quickly, and with the help of the light not far away, I determined the direction, and then I took my backpack and took out the rope inside.
I am very grateful to my grandfather, after all, he taught me a lot of things that must be brought for expedition survival, to be honest, in addition to military weapons and equipment and inverted professional equipment, the things I brought are no less than those of Tumu them, and the quality is even better, and at this time I can't help but wonder, did my grandfather calculate that I would have these experiences after his death, and then subtly taught me these things when I was a child.
Although the rope is not a probe, it is also very strong, and the length is absolutely OK, the main thing is that it is very thin and does not take up much space, I tied the rope a little better, and the other end also has a clasp attached to the buckle on the waist of my expedition suit.
After making all the preparations, I turned my head to look at the Titan Python again, and saw that it was also tired, its entire upper body coiled on the water, and its eyes were fixed on the position of the miner's lamp, and I suddenly felt a little ridiculous and sad.
It's ridiculous that a prehistoric creature as strong as the Titan Python was so teased by a miner's lamp, and the sad thing is that it probably won't be able to leave this place for endless years to come, and those iron cables run through its body, forcibly suppressing it here with the power of the entire waterfall and water, and I don't know if it is letting it guard what is underneath the water.
I really want to help it get out of here, even if it's the pain of touching the iron rope, but after thinking about it, if this thing is released, I will die here immediately, if this thing is allowed to go to rivers, lakes and seas and become the overlord of the sea, it will really be a disaster for mankind.
