Chapter 25: Advance and Retreat
After searching for a long time, we found a huge rattan, and I was the first to climb onto the rope, grasping it with both hands and clasping my feet tightly on the fastened buttons.
"Brother Dabao, you have the strength to push me over first, and then you come over when I pass, I'll go over and tie a rope under the rattan first, and I'll pull the rope when you come over, do you understand?" The four of them seemed to understand what I meant, and after I climbed up, Brother Dabao flew up out of thin air, grabbed the rattan and looked down, it was pitch black, and cold sweat came out.
I'm pretty agile, although I haven't practiced any kung fu, but I'm not even twenty years old, and I'm a lively young man. All of a sudden, it landed firmly on the ground. I took a picture with a torch, and there was no danger and it was the same cave as before.
"Hey, come here, there's nothing special here!" With that, I tied a stone to the bottom of the rope and threw it hard.
The second one came over was Zhao Yuer, then Zhao Lili, Wu Shirong, and the last one was Du Dabao. Du Dabao can have more than 180 pounds, we barely used the strength to pull him over, when he jumped on the rope, the rope almost didn't move far.
"Thank you four, I wouldn't have been able to get over without you pulling me." Du Dabao gasped for breath.
"Brother Dabao, I'm really embarrassed that you came to help me with this, even if we take Wan Gu Ding, we still have to treat our little sister, what if you can't get anything?" I said the ugliness in front, and we were lucky enough to get the ding, I'm afraid that this Du Dabao will turn his face.
"Okay, I'll also explain to you, if I came for that Ding, I wouldn't bring my sister with me, I'm really here to help you, not to mention that you also said that if you get Ding, give me hard money, don't you, and I can't do it, my Du Dabao's luck is so bad, maybe I can get something good, hehe!" Du Dabao laughed innocently, took out a piece of cloth and wiped the thick gold necklace around his neck.
"Brother Dabao, I'm really happy to have your words, let's go, let's hurry forward, maybe there is Wan Gu Ding or some exit ahead." After that, we walked over together.
The cave in front of it is no different from when I first entered, and the intensity of the light and the size of the cave are almost exactly the same, and it seems that it is an engineering project, and there is no renovation. Suddenly, as I walked, the cave seemed to have reached the end, and there was nothing left in front of it.
"Let's use torches to see if there are any paths around, it won't end here!" I quickly turned on my flashlight and looked around, but I didn't find anything.
"Nie Yu, look, what's under your feet?" Zhao Yuer doesn't know why her vision is always inseparable from me.
I followed her guidance and looked at my feet, it turned out to be the same switch as before I met the big snake just now, and I motioned for everyone to dodge and press it hard. Then there was a clattering sound on the ground, and after a while, a huge amount of dust came to the surface, and we quickly covered our heads with our clothes, and after a while the dust cleared, and when I opened my eyes, there was a hole in the ground, and a stone staircase led to the direction of the ground. I hurriedly walked down.
I slowed down noticeably as I walked ahead, because the last experience had taught me that there must have been something guarding this place from the beginning, and I waved my hand and everyone dispersed behind me.
"Look, Nie Yu, what's ahead of you?" Zhao Yuer took the flashlight and shone it forward, and I followed the light of her flashlight, which scared me.
There were nine huge pools on the ground, each of which was square and covered with moss, and there seemed to be small fish in it, and there was a staircase leading down to the pool.
"I went, where was this? Aquaria? Zhao Dabao took a flashlight and walked over.
"It doesn't seem to be a fish pond, these don't seem to be pools, it may be an entrance to the underground, it may have been made by people in ancient times, but after so many years, it is possible that the water has penetrated into this place due to rain and flooding, so the entrance here may have been flooded, and it has become like this." I'm right, who will raise fish here? These small fish may have come in with the river.
"Nie Yu, it seems that I underestimated you, your judgments are completely correct, I think so too!" Du Dabao and Wu Shirong nodded again and again.
"Don't say it's useless, let's go down first, don't ask, girls, three of us, who knows water, right?" I looked at Du Dabao.
"Nie Yu, look at me like this, it's hard for me to enter this entrance, my fat body has to float up when it enters the water, what do you see?" After Du Dabao finished speaking, he exposed his belly and patted it, and there was a straight sound.
"Then you won't tie a big rock to your body and weight your body, right?" Wu Shirong looked at Du Dabao and smiled contemptuously.
"I tie stones? My belly is not pierced by stones, your bad idea, do you want me to die to make you happy? Du Dabao glanced at Wu Shirong viciously.
I looked at the two of them and shook my head.
"Forget it, I'll go, one of you two is too fat, and the other wears a pair of high-end eyes, I don't dare to use the two of you easily, I can't afford any of you to make a mistake, so I'll go by myself." With that, I took off my pants and top, and put on only shorts and prepared to jump down.
"Nie Yu, be careful, if you can't get through, come back quickly," Zhao Yu'er hurriedly walked over, grabbed my hand hard, and stared at me non-stop.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, you stay here well, obedient!" I let go of Zhao Yu'er's hand and walked down the passage of the pool.
The biting cold soaked through my body, and the water here never saw the sun, and it was very cold. I held my breath, plunged headlong, opened my eyes and turned on the flashlight, which was fortunately waterproof otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see anything.
After walking for more than ten meters, it seemed like another step, and I hurriedly walked up the steps. The steps led to another place, I slowly stretched my head out, did not come out of the water, and shone with the light of the flashlight, it was still so empty and there was nothing, it was safe here. Then I came out of the water, and there was no other way around me, so I couldn't swim back again.
"Look it's Nie Yu!" As soon as I swam back, Zhao Yuer hurriedly reached over and grabbed me, her hand was very hot, my hand was cold, I looked up at her, she didn't let go of her hand, but also held my other hand to keep me warm.
"Thank you, beauty, I'm fine, it's just that the entrance just now is a no passage, we have to change one this time!" I sat down next to the pool and sat down, soaking up the heat from my body.
"What's it like over there? Is it the same as this one? Wu Shirong picked up the flashlight and looked inside, shaking his head helplessly.
"Now you can wait for me here, I'll go down anyway, and I'll come back to you when I find a place with an exit!" After saying that, I went down to the second and the pool.
In this way, I searched for it eight times, but I couldn't find a single entrance, and my luck was really bad. There was only one last one left, and I gasped for breath and hurried down again.
"Be careful!" A few of them hurriedly shouted behind them.
This time I still went up the steps, and through the more than ten meters long waterway, I dived out again and went up the steps. Finally, this cave was different from the others, and there seemed to be a passage in the distant light, so I hurriedly went back to report the news, and a few of them jumped down like dumplings and came with me to this only passage.
Everyone took off their clothes, Du Dabao found a few rattans in the cave, poured gasoline in his backpack and lit them, a few of us baked clothes here, and this cold clothes on the body will quickly lower the body temperature.
"Zhao Lili and I are going over there to bake clothes, none of you are allowed to peek, if any of you peek, be careful that I gouge out your eyes!" Zhao Yuer said and took out the knife in her hand and waved it.
"Go ahead, don't worry, we're not scumbags and won't take advantage of you!" Seeing the two of them walk away, the three of us shook our heads helplessly.
"Hey, Nie Yu, I've been hungry for so long, is everything you eat?" Wu Shirong walked over.
"My backpack is full of compressed biscuits, will you eat them?" I quickly pulled out one and handed it to him.
"Well, what to eat in this situation, I don't know how many times we can eat compressed biscuits, if we can't find a place we will starve to death inside." Wu Shirong looked a little sad.
"It's okay, a few of us Ji people have their own natural appearance, we won't starve to death here, we can't find any exit in time, it's a big deal that we go back to dig a road and go back!" Du Dabao looked at Wu Shirong with a smile, he might be thinking in his heart why this guy with glasses is so bold.
After half an hour we dried all our clothes and put them on. I put on my backpack and continued to walk. The path seems to be much wider than before.
After walking about a few hundred meters, we were now hungry and tired. The flashlight shone forward, as if there was some obstacle ahead, we quickened our pace to see what was going on, and finally came to a place where the light could not be seen. I saw a huge stone gate blocking the passage to continue forward. This huge stone gate is covered with moss all around, and the moss is very thick and thick, and it seems to have grown for hundreds of years. The cave was surrounded by long rattan sticks, blocking the entire stone gate, and I pushed it hard but couldn't do anything.
"The moss in the middle seems to be round, so special? Wu Shirong's reminder suddenly made me suddenly realize that indeed the center of the door seemed to be protruding, and it was as round as a basin.
I quickly pulled out a fruit knife and cut the thick moss, revealing a recess the size of a basin.
"It's not going to be some kind of mechanism, is it? Do you need to fill the groove to open the door? Zhao Yuer said as she touched the moss on it with her hand.
"Brother Dabao, bring me the bracelet quickly!"
I noticed that there was a smaller circular groove in the middle of the groove, which seemed to be about the size of a jade bracelet. Brother Dabao handed it to me, and I hurriedly pressed it, and it was exactly inlaid inside.
