Chapter 267: Karst Cave
After listening to Xia Qing's words, Gao Chao also remembered something, nodded and said: "Yes, at that time, I used my headlamp to shine on him, but he didn't even move, maybe he was really afraid of the light from the headlamp." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Essati thought about it, but shook his head and said: "No, it doesn't make sense, it is said that these Pamir snowmen also use fire, how can they still be afraid of light?" ”
As soon as he said this, Gao Chao and Xia Qing were also puzzled, and no one could figure it out for a while.
The fat man not far away stretched his waist, got up from the ground, and shouted towards them: "Comrades, I have completed the task, a total of 147 bullets, all polished and shiny. ”
Gao Chao turned his head to look at the fat man, shouted and said, "Okay, good job, press all the bullets into the magazine, even if you complete the task." ”
The fat man rolled his eyes, but had to crouch down again and continue his work.
Everything seemed to be ready, Xia Qing thought about it on the side, and discussed with Gao Chao and Aseti: "It's almost dawn now, I can't sleep tonight, or the fat man will prepare the magazine in a while, let's take our things and go." ”
Gao Chao nodded and said: "Time is getting more and more urgent, of course it is good to start earlier, since we can't get around this cave, we have to go inside......"
As he spoke, Gao Chao thought of something again, so he said to Aceti: "I said Avanti, is your current physical strength okay?" I see you like this, haven't you slept for days? Otherwise, you might as well take a rest first, and we'll go when you've recovered. ”
Esetti looked at Gao Chao with a little gratitude in his eyes.
But he smiled and said, "Thank you, dear friend, don't worry, Essetti is not so weak, although I have been chasing you these days, I still sleep, I just walk much faster than you." ”
Gao Chao still looked at Essetti with some concern, but looking at him, he was indeed in good spirits. It may be better than his own situation, so Gao Chao finally nodded, believing Esati's words.
Xia Qing looked at Aseti and said, "Aseti, how long is this cave going into. How long will we have to walk to get through here? ”
Esati thought for a moment and said, "It is said that this cave is very strange, some people only need one day to go out, while others take five or six days, and the specific situation has to be explained by going inside." ”
Xia Qing was stunned and said, "What? You...... Don't you know either? ”
Gao Chao was also a little surprised. He had always thought that even if Essati had not personally entered the cave, he at least knew about the situation in the cave, and now it seemed that Essati was still not very reliable, and even Gao Chao began to wonder if he could lead them to find the legendary Tomb of the King of the Western Night.
No matter how helpless there is, it has to be so, in this mysterious Pamir plateau, only Aseti can, or is willing to be their guide. So they could only trust him, after all, he was still fulfilling his promise and his responsibility as a guide after nine deaths, and they had no reason to doubt him on this basis.
So the group had no choice but to act immediately, pack their camp bags, pack their backpacks, and prepare to move towards the cave.
Gao Chao carried a 56 punch and handed the other one to Aceti, but Aceti said that he didn't need it. He handed it over to the fat man.
The fat man took the loaded 56 punch, this excitement, holding the gun for a long time, Gao Chao patted him on the shoulder. Hurriedly instructed him two sentences and taught the fat man how to use 56 punches.
Although the fat man has never fought this kind of military firearm, he has used an air rifle, so he can quickly get started with the 56 punch, which is very simple to operate, but he has not fired a single shot. I couldn't help but feel my hands start to itch.
And Essetti was dressed in tattered clothes and made a mess, so Gao Chao asked him to change into his spare clothes and tidy up before he felt like a person.
Everything was ready, and everyone set off immediately, but after walking in for a short while, Essetti suddenly thought of something and ran back again.
The others looked back, puzzled, only to find that Essati had run back to the entrance of the cave, and had picked up the dead snow leopard on his back, before rushing towards them again.
Seeing this, the fat man pouted and said: "I grass, I always thought that only people like me would be a money fan, but I didn't expect you, the thick-eyed Avanti, to be degraded now, what's the matter, even the corpse of the snow leopard is not spared, you still want to carry it out for money?" ”
Indeed, the value of a snow leopard's skin in the market is incalculable, and the key problem is that this thing, like bronze, is forbidden to be bought and sold.
Esetti just smiled at the fat man's words: "I think it's better to take it first, who knows if it will be of any use?" ”
The fat man smiled and said, "Its only use may be to fill my stomach." ”
Gao Chao glanced at the fat man and whispered: "Muslims do not eat animals that have not been slaughtered. ”
The fat man shrunk his neck and stuck out his tongue, knowing that he couldn't make any joke.
In this way, four people, three headlamps, two 56 punches, and a dead snow leopard, walked along the river in the cave to the depths.
This cave is actually a naturally formed tunnel, looking at the stalactites that occasionally appear on the top of the cave, Xia Qing has begun to give everyone science popularization while walking.
According to Xia Qing, this is a typical karst cave, which is commonly known as a karst cave, which exists a lot on the earth, but it is really rare on this Pamir Plateau, because the cause of the Pamir Plateau is formed by the extrusion of the continental plate, so there is very little limestone in the rock formation.
But she also said that perhaps this area was an area with frequent animal and plant activities hundreds of thousands of years ago, so there are many fossils in the sedimentary rocks formed in later generations, and there are rivers in this tunnel, which provides conditions for calcium carbonate to slowly form stalactites in the future.
Although Xia Qing's explanation was very detailed, to the other three people, it was like listening to a foreign pop song, they could only listen to the tune, but they couldn't understand what they were singing.
And Xia Qing himself felt bored in the end, as if he was playing the piano to the three yaks, so he stopped talking.
But it's really not interesting to go on like this, there is darkness around, and the sound of gurgling water, only their three headlamps illuminate the front, and occasionally see some strange-shaped stalactites, so scared that they thought they were those Pamir snowmen, but then they saw more, and they became numb, and the more stalactites they went, the more they went, the four of them were a little afraid and tired, and now they were not even too lazy to be afraid.
