Chapter 213: The King of the Wind Erosion Lake
Uncle Ming was still hesitating, feeling that Shinley Yang was a little arbitrary, and he didn't leave the road, and he had to climb those steep and tall green rocks, but the fat man and I knew that Shinley Yang had always been serious about this kind of thing, and never joked about it, since she was so anxious to let everyone stay away, it must have found a sign of danger, not to mention that I had already seen it after she said that the road on the mountain was indeed too smooth, and there was not even a single grass on it, and it was definitely not the road that people walked.
Our position in the lake was very close to the smooth mirror-like road, no matter what beasts rushed down from above, they could not resist in the water, and we didn't dare to think much about what was on the mountain, so we hurriedly grabbed Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, used our hands and feet together, and swam to a green rock on the left side of the lake.
Although the lake is surrounded by mountains and forests, there are not many places to go ashore, only the smooth and abnormal road, the other two sides are cliffs with no top, and there is a large dark green boulder on the left, which is more than ten meters high, and you have to use some strength to climb up.
We swam to the bottom of the green rock, just reached out to touch the cold stone wall, the ears heard the far end of the mountain road, there was also a burst of gravel friction sound, as if there was some behemoth, is quickly crawling out of the depths of the mountain forest, everyone's heart sank, listen to the sound came so fast, can use the body to grind the mountain road so smooth, not a giant python snake, or a "dragon king crocodile" such a beast that inhabits the depths of Kunlun Mountain, no matter what it is, it is enough for us to drink a pot, quickly take a mountaineering pickaxe to hook the green rock to climb up.
But the green rock had some moss, the slope was steep, and Y Yang's flying tiger claws were not easy to hold in the backpack, so she had to find a rope to tie a rope, and use the lassos she had learned in Texas to loop the rope around a protruding stone.
Seeing that Uncle Ming's skills are not at all like a man in his fifties, like an old ape, he is worthy of being an old sailor who has been trained at sea for many years, and he can escape his life more quickly than anyone else, and after a few rubs, he dragged the rope and climbed a natural boss in the middle of the green rock first. I, the fat man and Shinley Yang were holding Ah Xiang below, pushing her up, and Uncle Ming reached out and pulled Xiang up.
He then assisted Shinley Young to climb the rock, by which time the stone had been loosened by the rope. The fat man pulled even the rope with the stones into the water, and when Shinley Yang re-prepared the rope, the fat man and I heard a violent "bang" behind us into the water, and something had jumped down from the mountain and into the lake.
Shinley Yang and Uncle Ming lowered the rope from the rock to meet us, and Uncle Ming saw the monster in the water from a high place. He has always had a problem, which may be a precursor to Parkinson's disease, his hands tremble violently when he is nervous, he has to play the strings sooner or later, no matter what he holds in his hand, he can't hold it firmly, and the same is true at the moment, he holds a rock wedge in his hand and wants to fix it in the rock crevice, and suddenly he is overly nervous, and as soon as he lets go, the rock pitons fall into the water.
I and the fat man's hands just grabbed the climbing rope, and I was trying to borrow strength to go up, but I didn't expect that before I had time to exert force, the whole group of ropes and pitons fell down, and the fat man and I were angry below and scolded Uncle Ming for being an Italian on our side, how could we help out?
Shinley Yang wanted to take another rope, but found that it was too late, pointed to the water and said to me, "Go to the underwater cave and hide first." ”
Although the fat man and I don't know what the monster from the water is, but it's certainly not easy to mess with, and there is no room for flexibility, the guy arrived in an instant, and had no choice but to hold his breath and sink to the bottom of the lake, the lake is not deep, the lake water is clear and transparent, the underwater visibility is very good, the rocks at the bottom of the water are white, the bottom of the lake has some seepage holes connected with the underground, and there are several deep holes, which can be described as a thousand holes, the landform here is formed by the wind before it was flooded, this is a special "wind erosion lake" Perhaps as soon as the life of this "wind erosion lake" arrives, the wind holes below will all collapse, and the lake water flowing out of the mountain will rush to the deeper part of the ground to form an underground waterfall. In addition to the largest number of "white-bearded scaleless fish", there are also some "red-scaled schizophrenia", as well as "long-tailed black fish", I don't know if it was the explosion near the "door of disaster" just now, or the monster that suddenly entered the water, these fish were obviously frightened by the pole, and swam into the hole to hide, "whitebeard fish" may be a branch of "catfish", their body size is less than one meter before, and they are not adapted to the underground environment, and the fish that burrow into the door of disaster in a panic. They swam back one after another, preferring to risk being eaten by the water monster rather than flee from the "Wind Erosion Lake" with a comfortable water temperature.
As soon as I sank into the water, I found that among the flustered fish, there was a five- or six-meter-long, four-legged thing, with large black and white markings, resembling a monitor lizard, like a "torpedo", slamming into us in the water.
I suddenly came up with the name of a fierce beast "Spotted Jiao", it is afraid of the heat and cold, in 1972 in the Kunlun Mountain Maida Bucha glacier under the construction of the brother troops, once dug up in the ice of this beast frozen to death corpse, some people want to make it into a specimen, but then for some reason failed to succeed, at that time we also deliberately drove hundreds of miles of mountain roads, went there to visit, unbelievable, this thing is more ruthless than the "dragon king crocodile", and the skin is rough and the meat is thick, even the rifle can not help it.
The fat man and I saw that the "brindled Jiao" was coming rapidly, and we were slightly stunned, and immediately sank to the bottom of the lake under a special-shaped wind erosion rock, and the hard triangular head of the "Zebra Jiao" slammed into the rock, and immediately smashed the snow-white and fragile wind erosion rock into countless pieces, taking advantage of the situation to break through the water upward.
I was shocked, not good, it wanted to jump out of the water to attack the three of Shinley Yang and Uncle Ming on the green rock, suddenly saw the water splashing, white foam flying, "spotted Jiao" fell back into the lake again, it seems that it jumped in the water, and it could not reach the prey on the rock, "Spotted Jiao" then a hovering and swooping down, but it seemed to have no fixed target, rushing around in the lake, the fish that did not have time to escape, were all bitten and chewed by it.
I took the opportunity to take two sips of the fat man's oxygen cylinder, and took advantage of the chaos to hide in a wind tunnel at the bottom of the lake, which was also crowded with many fish who had taken refuge. Soon I understood the intention of the "Spotted Jiao", which tossed and turned in the lake to drive out all the fish hidden in the wind tunnel, and the white-bearded fish really couldn't stand the fright, and swam out of the wind tunnel and jumped around, and the "Spotted Jiao" took the opportunity to kill. It was as if it had a blood feud with the fish, and it was not simply for the sake of satiety.
The "Baihu Fish" formed a "fish formation" before, probably to defend against this brutal natural enemy. The clear and transparent lake water was soon stained red by the blood of the fish, and the lake was full of bitten fish corpses, the fat man and I hid in the wind tunnel to see the thrill, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape back to the green rock and climb up, but it would take at least half a minute to climb up, if you hit this red-eyed "brindle" halfway, its speed in the water is faster than a torpedo, if you can't rely on the favorable terrain to dodge, whether in the water or on land directly face it, there is no possibility of survival, so you have to wait patiently for the opportunity under the water.
In the oxygen cylinder worn by the fat man, there was not much oxygen left, and he ignored it, but there was a more tragic scene at the bottom of the lake, chasing the "spotted Jiao" that the fish bit indiscriminately, just swam to the wind tunnel where the fat man and I were hiding, at this time I saw the white shadow in the water mixed with blood flashing, the white-bearded old fish at the bottom of the lake, unconsciously appeared behind the "Spotted Jiao", twisted the body more than ten meters long, shook the head of the fish, and hit the only soft lower abdomen in the whole body of the "Spotted Jiao", "Spotted Jiao" In the water, he was knocked out of his head, twisted his body, and rushed again, biting the spine of the whitebeard old fish, although the whitebeard fish has no scales, but the skin of the fish has a kind of corrugated scales, and it is also very strong, especially the body of this old fish is huge, and the thickness of the scales is correspondingly much higher than that of other whitebeard fish.
"Spotted Jiao" relies on the tip of the teeth, thick skin, and sharp claws, and the "white-bearded old fish" has lived for many years, has rich experience, and is long and huge, the flesh scales are strong, and it will not be fatal to be bitten a few times, the two sides are entangled together, and it is difficult to solve it for a while, and the whole lake is boiling, but there is a lot of water flowing from the belly of the mountain, and the water seepage of some leaky wind tunnels at the bottom of the lake is not small, so the bursts of blood mist are scattered with the flow, and the water in the wind erosion lake is always clear and transparent.
The fat man and I can see clearly, this is a battle between two tigers, they are fighting for the living space in the "Wind Erosion Lake", the decisive battle, why do they fight you to the death? Maybe it's because of the unique water quality of the wind-eroded lake, or maybe it's a feud between predators? We can't know this, but if you want to escape back to the lake, you have to take advantage of the now, the two of them separately sucked the last remaining oxygen in the oxygen tank, avoided the vicious fighting "brindled Jiao" and "white-bearded old fish" in the lake, touched the wind-eroded rock at the edge, and swam to the surface.
Shinley Yang looked down at the lake on the green rock, far more clearly than we could see underwater, and when she saw us floating in the chaos, she put down the climbing rope, and this time she didn't dare to ask Uncle Ming to help again.
When I climbed the rock, I looked back and looked down, the old fish had the upper hand, and was using the fish head to push the "spotted Jiao" to the bottom of the lake to hit it, the "Spotted Jiao" spit blood foam in its mouth, and saw that it could not be supported, and when I climbed the rock, I found that the situation had taken a sharp turn, and from the mountain road climbed out a larger "Spotted Jiao", the white-bearded old fish only cared about the sworn enemy in front of him, and was defenseless against the back, and was bitten by the "Spotted Jiao" from behind, and dragged it into the largest wind tunnel in the depths of the "Wind Erosion Lake".
It seems that this fierce battle for the throne of the "Wind Erosion Lake" is coming to an end, the fat man wiped the water on his face and said: "When they are finished biting, we have to hurry up and go down to catch some fish, Uncle Ming threw the backpack containing food behind the crystal wall, otherwise we will all be hungry tonight." ”
I said to the fat man: "It's too dangerous underwater, don't lose the rake dumplings for the sake of green particles, I still have some food in my bag, we can follow the method taught by the chairman back then, eat dry when we are busy, eat thin when we are free, and when we are not busy or idle, then eat half dry and half thin, everyone can save some food, and we can deal with it for three or two days." ”
The fat man said: "There is a belly to eat tsampa, only to have the head to think about the problem, I have to go down to fish for a while, how can there be idle time in the deep mountains and old forests, I don't know what will happen next, and I will inevitably be angry when I go to the underworld to be a starving ghost."
Shinley Yang watched the movement in the lake, she obviously felt that the fierce battle under the lake was far from over, and when she heard the words of me and the fat man, she said to us: "The fish here can't be eaten, the residents of the evil Luohai City disappeared overnight, no one in the outside world knows what happened, there are many legends about the destruction of the evil Luohai City, but there are legends that the soldiers and civilians in the city have become fish in the water, although these legends are not very credible, but Tibet does have a custom of not eating fish since ancient times, And such a large group of whitebeard fish is really weird, so we'd better not get into trouble......"
In the transparent water of the "Wind Erosion Lake", tens of thousands of white lake fish suddenly appeared, densely packed together, and they seemed to want to go to the bottom to rescue the old fish.
At this time, the sky is getting late, the curtain is vast, in order to see more clearly, no climb to the top of the greenstone, but the scene behind this greenstone, more shocking than the fierce battle of the fish in the lake, behind the rock is a depression lower than the level of the wind erosion lake, a wind erosion rock ancient city like a huge beehive, not to mention more than a dozen layers, the vultures are trapped in it, and the wind erosion rock surrounded by white flowers is also all around it, there are countless caves on it, there is an eyeball mark made of a huge stone, is this the ancient legend of the "evil Luohai City"? I didn't feel the joy of arriving at my destination after a long journey, but I felt that my hairs were about to stand on end, because it was terrifying that the city was not only brightly lit, but also lifeless.
