Chapter 37: The Valley of Blood
The gap wasn't too big to get in side by side, so we had to barely get through with our sides a little sideways. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they hugged my arm left and right, and swam deep into the gap.
Due to the narrow gap and the sharp edges of the rocks inside, the slightest mistake would cause bumps, so I didn't dare to flutter any more, but just slid slightly under the water with my toes.
We were like crabs, walking in it with difficulty, and after a while, I felt that the soles of my feet could touch the bottom of the water, and the water level was slowly becoming shallower, which should be an uphill road. They were so tired that I told them to let go of their hands and walk cautiously on their own against the rock wall.
Gradually, we have stepped out of the water level, and the gap has become wider, but it can still only accommodate the width of one person.
The road back was unusually rough, high and low, and occasionally some stones protruded from both sides, and we had to crawl over them with our hands and feet. Brother Hao's size is a bit big, and he has to sit to pass through, and he thinks it's very funny to see him clumsy in the gap.
The walls on both sides are not vertically distributed, and the rock formations above are uneven, making it impossible to observe the exact height of the gaps.
Looking at the morphology, the rocks here have obvious thin bedding, which should be shale formed by the sedimentation of the original rock, and later was torn apart by the tectonic movement of the earth's crust to have the current gap.
But what struck me as strange was that the shale was impermeable, they often became an aquifer in the distribution of groundwater, and the water level of that pool did not rise all the time, and it certainly did not drain out of this crevice, there must be other ways to seep into the ground. In other words, there may not be an exit ahead, which may simply be the product of crustal activity, and if it doesn't work, we have to return to the waterhole to find the real drainage point.
We struggled to move forward, only to feel that the air was stuffy, mixed with a hint of rust. Although this gap is a road that extends inward, it feels like being in a labyrinth tunnel, and this indescribable depression and fear has always been with me, as if there are only a few of us left in the entire universe.
After about ten minutes, the gap widened again, and the two people could pass side by side, and the section of the rock formation became smoother, and the next road seemed to be more like a corridor.
I wanted to stop and rest, but I found that the top of my palm was pitch black, and when I rubbed it gently, it turned into a small piece of powdery substance and fell down, which must have rubbed down on the rock wall, and then look at them, like me, like turtle claws.
I was wondering what it was, when the fawn suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! It's blood! ”
I leaned in and sniffed it, and immediately realized that something was wrong, it was blood. The fawn scraped the rock wall next to it, pinched it with his hand, and then whispered, "It's full of blood!" ”
We were shocked by this sudden discovery, but we didn't expect that the rock wall of this gap was covered with blood, and whether it was human blood or animal blood, the amount of blood alone was enough to make people's hearts hairy.
"Hell, this isn't the Valley of the Dead! But why is there only blood and no corpses, is there someone who specifically poured blood into it? I said.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, join me with my hands together, finger to finger, palm to palm, body to relax, just rest for three minutes." The fawn joked.
"Rest a fart, I don't want to stay in such an evil place for a moment, let's go quickly!" I said.
We quickened our pace, trying to get out of this place as soon as possible, but as we went, the rock walls were covered in black blood.
The blood was so evenly distributed that it seemed to be smeared on the rock wall, and no one should have such a perverted penchant for smearing the entire gap, almost several tons of blood.
It didn't take long for us to reach the end of the crevice, where we were blocked by a pile of rocks, and the rock formations above stretched outward, blocking the whole road. We tried to remove the stones, but there were too many of them to finish, and even if we tried to remove them all, there might not be an exit ahead.
We exchanged views and decided to go back first and think of something else. We sat still and rested for a moment, each with a look of exhaustion and helplessness on their faces.
Brother Hao comforted: "Cheer up, everyone, as the old saying goes, 'three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang'!" We'll always have a way. ”
The deer pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "The three stinkers are all the same, and I don't think I can find a way out even if I go back." ”
I poked him in the back and motioned him not to.
Suddenly, Brother Hao's face changed, I thought he wanted to be unfavorable to us, so I subconsciously moved my ass back, but I heard him say, "Hey! Do you feel like it's getting narrower? ”
I looked around and didn't find anything unusual, and when I looked at the fawn, my face was full of doubt.
"That's not right! It's getting narrower here, I'm shoulders wider than yours, I can feel it! Brother Hao said firmly. Before he could finish speaking, he dragged us up one by one and motioned for us to leave quickly.
As soon as I stood up, I realized that this place had indeed become much narrower. Walking back, I gradually noticed that the whole gap was slowly closing!
I secretly screamed in my heart that something was wrong, and urged them to run together.
The gap is getting narrower and narrower, and the section of the road that used to be possible for two people to walk side by side can now only be allowed to pass through one. We stumbled and trotted, our hearts rising to our throats.
"Uncle, what the hell is this place! This is to add people to meatloaf! Brother Hao scolded.
"No, it's too late, it will take at least ten minutes to go back, let's climb up!" I screamed too.
The fawn immediately said that this method would not work, if the gap was the width of a door, we could still support the stone walls on both sides and jump up, but now the distance is that we can't stretch one hand straight, let alone jump up.
The rock formations in front of me began to be jagged again, and there was no way to go any further, and seeing that the place where we were standing was approaching half a human width, my mind went blank for a moment, and I stomped my feet in place.
"Think of a way, I don't want to die so badly!" I yelled at them.
"What can I do, unless we go to heaven and earth, otherwise the gods can't save us when they come!" The fawn also shouted excitedly.
"Die, die, it's not like I haven't high-five with death, it's a big deal I'll greet his old man again!" I shouted in despair.
We leaned sideways against the stone wall, quietly waiting for the stone on the other side to approach us. To be honest, it was a very painful feeling, and I couldn't imagine how painful it was to die, like a ton truck slowly running over you, and you could hear every bone breaking.
My heart was pounding, and I could clearly feel my fiery snort as I watched the stone wall in front of me get closer and closer, because the stone wall that had been stained red with blood was already close at hand.
