readx;?“ Fake? ”

"Not bad. "www.biquge.info I mean, I suspect that this thing is fake, since we entered this cave, I have gradually realized it." However, I can't be sure, it's just my speculation. ”

I said to Yang Xue, don't jump to conclusions if you can't be sure, at least I don't think this matter will be fake.

For a while, neither of us spoke, and we were both caught up in our respective worlds, thinking about our own thoughts. We continued to walk along the depths of the cavern, which gradually expanded, and before we could walk, a downward sinkhole suddenly appeared in front of us.

I cautiously walked to the edge of the cave and shone it down with a flashlight, only to see this sinkhole with a diameter of about 5 meters, winding downward, like a vertical intestine, twisting and turning, and I couldn't see how deep it was. However, near the entrance to the cave, I found some traces of rope binding, as well as several fragments of wood.

To be precise, these pieces of wood are the remains of a triangular support, which are used as fixed fulcrums when lifting, and belong to simple pulley devices, which are generally used to transport certain heavy items. However, due to the age and the damp environment of the cave, these wooden shelves are almost rotten to the point of decay, and at the slightest touch of the hand, they completely fall apart.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I pointed to this wooden wreckage and said to Yang Xue:

"That's right, this is supposed to be the place where the treasure was transported, and if I'm guessing correctly, they must have gone down this sinkhole."

Yang Xue leaned over to check the pile of rotten wood, she pinched a little rotten wood chips with her hands, and with a little force, the wood chips turned into powder between her fingers.

She picked up another stone and threw it into the shaft, and by inertia the stone jumped through the winding shaft, striking the cave wall with a crisp sound. It was a long time before the sound of the ground was heard.

"Do you want to go down?" I asked Yang Xue.

Yang Xue was very hesitant, she was probably very curious about it, but she wasn't sure if it was worth going down and seeing.

I encouraged her on the side:

"Let's go down and have a look, it won't take much time, and if the treasure is down there, won't we pick up a bargain?"

Yang Xue shook her head at me at this time:

"I don't think it's better to go down, even if it's the location of the treasure below, but I think there must be some danger hidden."

To be honest, although the purpose of my trip is not to find treasure, at this moment, seeing that a large sum of wealth is close at hand, almost at my fingertips, it is all fake.

"I must go down and see," I said very firmly, "and if you don't want to, just wait for me up there." ”

Yang Xue glanced at me, and still persuaded:

"Do you really want the treasure so much?"

I smiled at her and said, "Since you've come here, it's really unreasonable to go home empty-handed." ”

Yang Xue couldn't persuade me, sighed helplessly, and finally agreed to go down with me to have a look. We took out our respective backpacks, took out a series of ropes and other descending tools, found a thick stalagmite, and fixed the end of the rope. I took out a light stick, folded the fluorescence, and threw it down the shaft, but the sinkhole was too deep and crooked, so when the glow stick hit the ground, I could only see a faint cold light. I don't know what will happen at the bottom of the cave tens of meters, but I must not take it lightly this time, especially Yang Xue, I must protect her. So I suggested that I take the lead in descending along the rope, let Yang Xue follow me ten meters away, and if I encountered any situation, I could hear the other party by shouting casually.

"If something happens," I said to Yang Xue very seriously, "you must leave me alone, just escape by yourself." ”

"Do you have to go down?"

"Yes," I said, "I'm going to have to go down this time." ”

I stopped talking, fastened the rope around my waist, and slowly jumped down the wall of the sinkhole in the manner of rappelling.

In fact, due to the curved shape of the shaft cave, there are naturally many raised rocks, and there are many places to stay, and the descent is relatively easy. It's just that the air below seems to be a little thin, and it's a little uncomfortable to breathe, and I know it's all psychological, but that oppressive feeling is like darkness, and it can't help but rise in my heart.

About halfway down, the blue light of the rod was already reflecting the platform at the bottom of the shaft, and I squinted, folded another one, and threw it down.

At this time, there was a slight noise from the bottom platform, and my heart jumped, and I immediately turned my eyes to the area where the blue light was scattered, and at the edge of the arc-shaped aperture, I saw a strange thing.

At first I thought it was just a white stone, but then I was surprised to see that it moved violently, and its rickety body shrank back and disappeared into the darkness.

I froze in place, thinking back to what I had just seen. The thing was dry, frighteningly white, with a rickety back, full of wrinkles, curled up in a ball, moving on all fours, small in size, a bit like a hairless monkey. Judging by the stance it left with, this thing should be quite agile, and, as if it had spotted me, I don't know if it was aggressive.

I was stunned for a while, Yang Xue had already descended along the rope, and she found me in the groove of the cave wall, looking wrong, so she asked me what was wrong.

I shook my head at her and said it was nothing, as if I was hallucinating.

I asked Yang Xue to wait for me in this position, let me go down to the bottom platform alone first, Yang Xue nodded and agreed, let me be careful, and if something is wrong, I will come up as soon as possible.

I nodded at her and continued to stick to the shaft, descending. It didn't take me long to land on the bottom platform, and immediately took a flashlight and swept around, and found that there were several horizontal openings below, all of which were very small, and only one of them was about two meters high.

I didn't find anything else, the monster I saw in a trance just now is now gone, probably afraid of the light source, hiding in the depths of the cave.

Generally speaking, most of the creatures that exist in the cave live not far from the cave entrance, such as bats and snakes, because the cave ** food is relatively scarce, and at the edge of the cave entrance, you can go out to forage at any time without expending too much physical strength. There is also the one who lives in places such as underground lakes and underground rivers and feeds on fish and plankton, which in turn can maintain their own food chain.

However, it is hard to imagine any life in such a place as having to go thousands of meters into a cave like this, with no water source or other food to catch. What do they feed on? (To be continued.) )
