Chapter 023: Acting
The God of Wealth said, "Are we going to admit defeat in front of such a forgotten animal? This is not good, fourth brother, you said that this piece of dragon scales can be sold for the price of a thousand-year-old ginseng, if we can find dozens or hundreds of pieces in the dragon tomb, then we will not have to eat and drink for the rest of our lives? What's more, the appearance of dragon scales undoubtedly proves the existence of the dragon's heart, it is a treasure of hundreds of millions, just give it up, and my God of Wealth will not do it. ”
I explained, "No one says give up, when did I give up halfway without achieving my goal?" But don't give up, and you can't bury yourself in the mouth of the worm in a daze. Fortunately, these horseshoe crabs are not big, and they can only survive underwater, as long as we don't come into contact with the active running water, they can't hurt us. "Let's build a ship, take a boat into the cavern."
The master seconded: "That's the only way." ”
Adventure is all about danger. Since you have a goal, you can't have too many worries, because if you have worries, you will have fear, and if you have fear, you will be timid, and if you are timid, you will retreat.
Throughout the morning, Huzi and Liu Jingao were in charge of cutting bamboo, and I made bamboo rafts with the God of Wealth and Master. After noon, we pushed the two bamboo rafts we had made into the water and had a brief lunch, two heavyweights, Huzi and God of Wealth, got on one, and I took Master and Liu Jingao on the other.
Fearing that we would get lost in the cave, we tied one end of a rope to a large rock outside the cave and rolled it up on a bamboo raft before entering the cave. After entering the cave, we put a long rope on the side as the raft went down the water, so that we could follow the rope and row out of the cave when we lost our way.
The scene in the cave is particularly beautiful, much better than the rose rock in Daxijiang Town, Quanzhou. Under the light, a snow-white stalactite in the cave shimmered with starlight, and the shape of a flower or a creature resembled a certain creature. Amazingly, these stalactites have undergone thousands of years of growth, hanging upside down on the pitch-black cave ceiling for several meters or even tens of meters, reaching the bottom of the water. This makes our bamboo raft feel as if we have entered a dense labyrinth, giving people a feeling of inexplicable loss of bearing.
I now know why Song Xiaoqin said that it was a turbulent water, but it became calm when it came out of the hole, and the reason was that these stalactites inserted in the water formed a resistance and gradually dissolved the flow rate of the water. At the moment, these stalactites have also become a resistance to our bamboo rafts. Our raft is three meters long, and the stalactites are intricately inserted upside down in the water, which can provide very limited space for the raft to move forward, and it is very difficult to make a turn. This is still in the case of sailing with the current, and if you want to go back and sail against the current, it will definitely be troublesome. Fortunately, during the dry season, the water flow is not strong.
But......
Ten minutes into the cave, the stalactites were just a little less, and the water in front of them appeared in a new situation. The underwater terrain in this cave is undulating, and there are huge holes hidden in the ground, which cause several huge water vortices to appear around us.
"Huh, hey, hey, I say, hold it steady!"
"Hold the rope."
As soon as the God of Wealth and Huzi were careless, the tail of the bamboo raft was bitten by the vortex, and in the panic, one was paddling desperately, and the other was grabbing the rope hard.
At this time, the fungile also came. In the underwater burrow, at first there was a bulging head, and then many horseshoe crabs came out and swam around our bamboo raft under the water, like vultures waiting in the sky to eat carrion, waiting for us to fall into the water and drown.
I secretly scolded in my heart: "Damn, why don't these things get sucked in by the water vortex!" ”
The God of Wealth was a little anxious, seeing that the bamboo raft was about to be swept into the whirlpool, he was in a hurry and told Huzi to stabilize the bamboo raft, he took out two special torpedoes from his bag, lit them and threw them into the water.
I know that the God of Wealth wants to use a torpedo to blow up the horseshoe crab in the water, so that even if a person falls, he doesn't have to worry about being bitten. But looking at the expression of the God of Wealth, in fact, he regretted it the moment he threw the torpedo into the water. This torpedo was originally in my bag, and it was all snatched from someone else, and the God of Wealth said that he liked to play and he took a large part of it. In addition to the fact that this kind of large torpedo is not an iron shell, its power is comparable to that of the grenades made by the Eighth Route Army. After that, many of the horseshoe crabs in the water were killed, and some of them even flew onto my bamboo raft.
However, the aftermath was that the torpedo not only almost overturned the ship, but also blew up the underwater hole wider. This is good, the area of the whirlpool increases, and the attraction becomes greater, and the bamboo raft is directly sucked in. Thanks to these two people, they escaped quickly, and when they knew that the bamboo raft could not be stabilized, they both jumped up and hugged the two stalactites beside them.
The God of Wealth felt depressed: "Damn, why is this torpedo so powerful, is this a person or a fish." Lao Tzu's reputation was ruined. ”
I really want to cry without tears, the God of Wealth played a good show for himself, but unfortunately it ended in tragedy. I couldn't help but laugh: "You really know how to play." ”
The God of Wealth hugged the stalactites tightly and said, "Don't talk about the wind and cold, hurry up and row your boat over, and let me and Huzi go up." ”
I simply refused: "It's enough to pit yourself, don't pit me again." In the past, I was not swept into a whirlpool. ”
The God of Wealth looked at the horseshoe crab that appeared under the water and said, "I won't last long, it'll be over if I fall, you should quickly think of a way." ”
I pondered and meditated, and before I could come up with a result, the horseshoe crabs began to climb up the water along the stalactites that had been submerged in the water, and it seemed that they were not waiting for the food to fall into the water themselves, but were going to drive the food into the water themselves.
There are more and more horseshoe crabs, and the water is already black and pressed, and the God of Wealth holds the stalactites with both hands, and keeps kicking off the horseshoe crabs that crawl to his feet: ", there are so many!" Nima's, with more to bully less, has the ability to fight alone. ”
Huzi was not having a good time, he was forced by the insects and couldn't do it, so he could only climb up along the stalactites...... Crawling, Huzi had an idea, and suddenly thought of a good solution, of course, it is also a method that requires technology. That is to use those relatively short stalactites not far from the top of the head, grab one with one hand, and hang your body forward with your hand like a monkey in the jungle, commonly known as the monkey climbing method.
After all, he was only four or five meters away from our boat, and although he almost missed the grasp and fell into the water, which was a bit risky, he eventually came to the top of us and slid down a long stalactite to our boat.
"Is that okay?" The God of Wealth watched the fat tiger be as flexible as a monkey, and it was unbelievable. However, other than that, we haven't come up with a more comprehensive solution for the time being. The God of Wealth looked at the stalactites around him, found a suitable route and said, "You can do it, I can do it." ”
Not to mention, in addition to his powerful mouth, this God of Wealth has a strong hands-on ability. It took less than thirty seconds to stand firmly on our boat.
Well, here comes a new problem again. There were five people standing on this small bamboo raft, and there were heavyweights. As soon as the tiger stood up, I felt that the bamboo raft had sunk a few centimeters, and now that the God of Wealth had stood up again, the raft had sunk a few centimeters again, and the bamboo raft was horizontal. Not to mention that the horseshoe crabs had a chance to take advantage of it, and the stability of the raft was much worse, and as soon as one person moved slightly, the hull began to shake. And then the God of Wealth is so stupid. As soon as he was pleased, he suddenly stepped on the bow of the boat, so that his feet were equivalent to a hand that suddenly pushed a bamboo raft.
