Chapter 16: The Gold Mine

I picked up a piece of ore from the basket and held it in my hand to shine it with a flashlight, only to see that the surface of the ore seemed to be coated with a layer of gold paint, one after another, reflecting a dazzling golden light under the white beam.

I didn't know much about ores, so I asked them what they had to say, and Boss Chen said that he had done gold trading and visited ore processing factories before, but the fineness of these ores in front of me was much higher than that of ordinary gold ores.

The braces were greedy, and he reached out and grabbed a piece, and wanted to keep it for himself.

Boss Chen smiled:

"Liangzi, the gold content of this ton of gold ore after purification is generally only a few grams, even if the gold content of these gold mines in front of you is relatively concentrated, all of them can't add up to a gold bar in your bag!"

Hearing what Boss Chen said, his shoulders collapsed, and he was immediately deflated, threw the ore in his hand to the ground, and asked:

"How can there be gold mines in this cave?"

I thought about it for a moment and analyzed, "Could there be a cave left by the ancients somewhere in the cave?" When you think about it, it's not surprising that the ancient road exists. But why did they build a log cabin here, there is no trace of the ancient road here, and why did they throw these ores of such high quality here? ”

Boss Chen said that the ancient road is very likely to be flooded due to the rising water level, this cabin may be a rest stop, a person with a basket to carry so many ores, it is very difficult, as for why they want to throw these ores here, it is really incredible, it may be due to some reason, they have to evacuate as soon as possible, they can't take care of these gold mines.

I thought about it again, but I felt that there were many doubts in my heart, and I couldn't figure it out, so I had to shake my head and let myself stop thinking about it.

I regained my senses, and was about to tell them to leave this place, when I suddenly found that the fat yellow man had slipped to the lake without knowing what, and he was kneeling by the lake with a flashlight for some reason, and buried his whole head in the lake, as if he was kowtowing to this underground lake.

I secretly said that this fat yellow man could it be that he still has some secret religious beliefs? Confused, a few people walked over, and when they got closer, they found that the fat man was wiping water on the back of his neck to clean his neck, and he made this kneeling posture in order not to get the lake water into his clothes.

When he saw us coming, the fat man said:

"That snake crawled on my neck just now, and it made a lot of oily things, it was disgusting to the touch, and there was a bad smell!"

As soon as I heard him, I remembered this incident, and subconsciously took a flashlight to shine on his neck, and this photo was unacceptable, only to see a black mark on the back of his neck, which was spread across the skin. I was secretly surprised, and I thought to myself, he couldn't be poisoned, right? The braces were also wrapped around the neck of the white snake, will it also be ......

I walked behind the braces, took a flashlight, and found that his neck was completely normal, there was no trace at all, and my heart was strange, could it be that the white snake was a male and a female, the male was poisonous, and the female was not poisonous? No, that's not in line with biology. Could it be that this kid's bone meridians are different from ordinary people, and he comes with antivenom?

I said to the fat yellow man:

"Boss Huang, there is one thing I have to tell you, you ...... You seem to have been poisoned...... There is a black mark on the back of the neck......"

The fat yellow man was most afraid of poisonous insects, and when he heard this, he trembled, stretched out his hand under the beam, and said tremblingly: "Hand...... I have it on my hand, too! ”

As soon as I looked at the palm of the yellow fat man's outstretched hand, I saw a black spot obviously scattered on the palm of the palm, which was shaped a bit like a map of China.

I scolded myself, thinking about when I was joking, seeing that the black mark had obvious signs of expansion, and remembering the story about the white snake I had heard when I was a child, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, instinctively took two steps back, kept a distance from the yellow fat man, and said:

"It seems that the oil secreted by the white snake's body also contains toxins, although it is not as strong as the venom secreted by the fangs, but it cannot be underestimated, and now we have to find the other group of people quickly, they may have brought antivenom."

I said this to comfort the fat man, regardless of whether the other group exists or not, even this antivenom has the limitation of specialization, however, there have been records of cross-use of antivenom in history, take pit viper venom as an example, it is also effective on bamboo leaf green snake and soldering iron head snake.

Huang Fat picked up this life-saving straw, and urged us to act quickly, worried that if it dragged on for too long, if the toxicity spread, I was afraid that Hua Tuo would not be able to save it if he was alive.

We continued to walk along the edge of the lake, walked halfway, and found that there was a giant stalactite in the center of the lake, the diameter of this stalactite was at least about ten meters, the height was unknown, and it was inserted straight down from the darkness of the top of the cave, embedded in the center of the lake, it was just like the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and its momentum was so spectacular that it could not be described in words. Such a huge stalactite is the first of its kind in the world, and the power of nature is truly awe-inspiring, and we are all shocked by the majesty of this stone pillar for a while!

The braces pointed to the stalactite pillar, and said in surprise:

"There is also a lettering on it......"

I followed the direction he pointed out, and found that in the middle of this stone pillar, a piece was indeed cut off and engraved with the four big characters of "mainstay", which seemed to be done by the predecessors, and I don't know which literati was the last ink.

I secretly scolded this predecessor is really, there is no common sense to protect the cave, this stalactite is alive, you engrave words on it, your pride and ambition are vented, but for stalactites, it is very likely to bring fatal damage. My cognition of cave exploration comes mostly from the West, so the awareness of cave protection is stronger than the average person, at this time to see such a magnificent pillar was engraved, it is inevitable to sigh, and say that the Chinese people like to engrave words on the scenic spots, which is completely to pick up the legacy of the ancestors.

The yellow fat man was poisoned, and he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at all, so he told us to stop looking, let's go quickly, it will be too late later.

We walked forward for another hour or so, and finally came to the end of the underground lake, the space on the left is slightly different from the right, the cliff at the end is slightly gentle, we went closer to take a look, and found that there is a rope on the cliff that can be climbed horizontally, and then look forward, on the opposite bank of the lake, there is actually a naturally formed crack, the crack is extremely narrow, the width is only about one meter, but there are many stones stuck in the crack, forming a suspended "jumping rock", the person who left the rope should enter from this crack.

We set off from the corner of the lake and prepared to climb sideways along this rope fixed to the cliff face, which was locked a few meters above the surface of the lake, not too high, and should not be too dangerous to climb.

I bore the brunt of the attack and was about to go up, but at this time, Boss Chen behind me suddenly pulled me and told me to pay attention to my feet.

I looked down and saw that there were a lot of bullet casings scattered where I landed!

I wondered, "This ...... What's going on? ”

Boss Chen picked up a bullet casing, looked at it, and said that judging from where the person was standing and the number of bullet casings, it was likely to be covering fire.

Fire cover? I was stunned and said, what kind of hammer is this? Cover what? Could it be that the Japanese devils are coming to attack my China again?

Boss Chen said: "It's hard to figure out their intentions for a while, in short, we should be careful when we go over!" ”

I was frightened, so I asked the fat yellow man to bring me the dagger in the backpack, although this rock wall is clear at a glance, it is not excluded that there are water caves in some grooves, in case there are any monsters in it, I also have a tool to check and balance.

I grabbed the blade with my mouth, climbed on the top of the cave wall, pulled the rope, and moved sideways like a crab, but fortunately there were many grooves under the foothold, and it seemed that the person who put the rope was also very experienced.

When they saw that I had climbed halfway up, and there was no sign of danger, they were all relieved, and they all learned my movements, and climbed up one after another.

The yellow fat man was poisoned by the snake, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to put on his wings, and he didn't care about climbing on the cliff at this time, and he landed very quickly, and after a while, he caught up with my progress.

I wanted to play a joke with him to lighten the mood, so I said:

"Although you crab is fat, your limbs are still ......"

How do you know that as soon as I spoke, I only heard a sound of water, and suddenly a black creature jumped out of the lake below me, and for a moment I only smelled a pungent smell of mountain pepper, and before I could see the appearance of this thing, a bloody mouth dragged the yellow fat man next to me down!
