Chapter 44: The Ice Labyrinth
I took it out and gave a drop to each of my eyes, a cool feeling that made me feel very comfortable.
After a while, two more drops were gone. It's also too little, it feels very comfortable, but it's gone.
Since his eyes were less painful, he fell crooked and fell asleep.
After a sleep, the old professor woke up first, called everyone, and went on, after all, it was inconvenient during the day.
After two days of walking, just as it was about to be dusk, the group in front of us entered a crack in the glacial area and disappeared from our sight.
"They're in the middle of the ice peaks, and there's a chance we won't find them." The monkey was in a hurry.
"Some of the ice crevasses here at the beginning. I can still find it. Go further inside, and I won't find it. Tan Jiaming said.
"Then let's hurry away, and it's better not to ask them to pull us too far."
As they spoke, they quickened their pace.
When we came to the crack of the glacier, we were dumbfounded, after all, at the foot of the ice peak in front of us, there were almost too many cracks of all sizes to count!
"Which crack did they go into?" Cai Yushu said with some confusion looking at these cracks.
"yes, that's scary. We're not going to be in here too, are we? Xia Tong was almost so frightened that his legs went limp.
"I think, Xiao Xia, don't go in with us with Yan Nannan, leave Gu Hao and take care of the two of them." I really don't want to go in with two burdens, after all, the environment is precipitous, and it would be too much trouble to go in with two women.
"Anyway, I'm going to go in, as for Xia Tong's progress to go in, that's her business." Yan Nannan's attitude was very resolute.
"I'm going in too, little Lizi, don't you want to leave us."
"Okay, don't fight, since the two of you are going down, the environment you may encounter is bad, you have to think about it, and you may have to pay the price of your life. So I think if there is anyone who doesn't want to go down, just stay on it! The old professor looked at everyone and said.
"Anyway, even if I die, I want to see what the world under this glacier is like, so that it can attract so many people to come here and steal treasures." The monkey shows its attitude.
"I'll go too." Peng Fei.
"I'm going to go." Gu Hao continued.
All plus Tan Jiaming, a total of ten people, all have to go down.
Personnel, there are, Ouyang Shuo, Yang Jun, Peng Fei, Xia Yushu, Gu Hao, Cai Shuangdiao, me, Yan Nannan, Xia Tong, and Tan Jiaming.
"Okay, let's eat something first, and then take advantage of the night, let's go down." After the old professor finished speaking, Xia Yushu and Xiao Cai distributed some sausages and compressed biscuits left behind by the expedition team to eat.
After eating, everyone was allowed to lay down the rope, and Peng Fei and I went down to explore the way first.
I tied the rope, everyone put me down, and then Peng Fei.
The two of us went to the bottom of the crack, but it still didn't reach the ground, and there was still ice underneath, and it seemed that this crack was so deep. But I was very surprised, I could see things in the dark ice crevices, and it was as clear as daytime, and it seemed that the bottle of sky dew was really magical. I'm happy in my heart, but I can't say it, I used that thing, otherwise everyone would think that I was selfish and swallowed those things in private.
We untied the rope and walked forward forty or fifty meters before we saw a broken crack in the ice. Horizontally at the foot, it extends underneath.
"We look like we're going to call everybody here. After all, if you go down, you still need a rope, and you still need someone to pull it to go down. I said.
"Yes, tell them to come down, after all, we can't go down at this level, and we won't know what the situation is down there." Peng Fei replied.
"Okay." After we finished speaking, we went back to where we were, and shook our flashlights upward, and the people above knew that it was time to come down.
The first to come down was the old professor, then the others, and the last to come down was the monkey.
When the monkey came down, he smashed the rope into the ice with a Luoyang shovel, and then dragged it down by himself.
It was pitch black in the ice, and in order to save batteries, two flashlights were used, and the rest had five flashlights for backup.
The two of us explained the situation to the old professor, and then led everyone to the deeper chasm.
The old professor looked at everyone and said, "It's better for Li Jun and Yang Jun to go down first, after all, Yang Jun is more flexible than Peng Fei." It's a little plum to do things safely, so you two go down. ”
The monkey took out the ropes left by the expedition, tied himself, and then everyone dragged him down. Immediately after he went to the end, shaking the flashlight, I went down the second one.
At the bottom, the monkey and I said, "Let's look at the terrain first, and then tell everyone to come down." ”
"Okay, but as soon as I came, I found that this rift runs north-south, and the rift extends back and forth, which way do we go?"
"yes, which way do we go? It seems to be the end of the river, and there is some quicksand under our feet, and it looks like this should have been the riverbed of the river that had been changed to the river. So why don't we go separately and have a look? ”
"Okay, but don't go too far, there is a hundred or ten meters away, and you have to return."
"Okay, then I'll face north, and you'll look like south."
After the two of them finished speaking, they each walked separately to the south and the other to the north.
As I walked, I felt that the crack in front of me was getting wider and wider, and after walking for a while, I saw that there were steps down in front of me, which seemed to be hand-chiseled, and it seemed that it was still not in the end. That layer of quicksand is also a small layer above the ice.
I was just about to walk down when I felt the shadow of something in the darkness, and I ran down the stairs quickly.
I shuddered, after all, although it was not cold in the dark ice below, it was already hundreds of meters above the ground.
I don't know how deep it is below, but then I suddenly remembered Gu Hao, the formulas calculated, could it be said that the depth of these ice layers is calculated?
I recall those numbers in my head, and I should have counted both big and small. But where does this mean the depth of the ice?
The shadow I saw just now shouldn't be an illusion, it told me to go down, and I really didn't dare to do it. So I went back the way I came, but after walking for a long time I could not find the place where we had descended, let alone the rope.
How so? Are you lost? It's impossible, after all, there is only one here, a rift in the north-south direction. So I went on again, and the crack began to lead in all directions, and I couldn't tell which one was which. Large and small, there are passages in either direction.
Oh my God, isn't this to the labyrinth?
No, I still have to go back. The moment I turned around, I almost didn't die of scare. I saw a pair of red bulb-like eyes, staring at me. I quickly lit it with my hand, and the thing seemed to be afraid of the light, so I turned around and went into the crack next to it. Looking at the back, it should be a calf, but it doesn't look like it. What could this be a thing?
But when you get here, if you don't go back, you will get lost, and you will never be able to enter alone. What's more, I saw that, a strange monster!
So I thought of this, and with the audacity, I skimmed over the longitudinal one, burrowed into the rift of that thing, and continued to go back.
After walking for a long time, I saw that there was another vertical, that is, a horizontal crack, Yang Jun, who was turning on a flashlight, shining on my side, presumably found the place when he came down.
I walked quickly, and the monkey saw the light of my flashlight from a distance, and shook it, and I shook it, which was a code.
"What's going on, what's going on in the north?" The monkey asked.
"I don't know 。。。。。。。。。。"
"You don't know? So what are you going to do? "The monkey is in a hurry.
"I mean, I don't know, what the hell is going on down there. I couldn't go down alone, so I came back. ”
"Oh, I see, I thought you were stupid and didn't know anything."
"Dead monkey, you're stupid, so what about you going south?"
"There is nothing to the south, and after walking a short distance, we will reach the end of the crack, and if we go further, we can only go in with a flat body."
"And you're still in?"
"I'm stupid, I can't get out if I get in and get it." The monkeys are quite smart.
"Then let's tell them to come down, and let's go and see what's in that underground ice."
Yang Jun shook the flashlight upward, and the people above saw it, and then slipped down one after another. This time it was Peng Fei who was behind the paragraph.
When the old professor went down to the bottom, he asked the two of us, "Which direction should we go in the same direction?" ”
