Chapter 6, Frogman

As we entered the cave, the fishy smell grew stronger and stronger, and it was almost choking. A few beams www.biquge.info of light intersect in this dark cave, and you can see that the walls around it and the stagnant water on the ground are full of bat droppings. That's the amount, it's not more than a thousand years.

I remember watching Austen's and Stevens' adventure shows on TV before, and there was a scene of entering the bat cave to catch snakes, and I felt disgusting when I watched it, but I didn't expect that now I would also come to this sewage full of bat feces, through this cave that I don't know how long.

At the front of the line was Ahri and my cousin, me and Lao Ma in the middle, and at the back were the monkey and Xiaofeng, both of us covering our mouths and noses, wading through the leg-length sewage, slowly walking to the depths of the cave, and from time to time bats skimming overhead.

This hole is a horn shape, the entrance of the hole is slightly narrower, the more you go inside, the more you slowly become wider, the cave is curved, no one spoke along the way, about half an hour in this sewage, the ground in front is relatively dry, there is no sewage, it is much easier to walk, and I walked forward for more than ten minutes, there are no more bats above my head, I let go of the hand covering my mouth and nose, and the fishy smell in the air has also faded. If you can feel a trace of air passing through this hole, then there may be more than one exit in this hole.

About half an hour later, we walked out of the hole, to a large space, is a large open space, we walked in and used a searchlight to shine around, it is estimated that there is a football field as big an open space, five or six meters up is the top of the cave, you can see that there are traces of artificial excavation, the archaeological team of the professor Cui called incredible, others were also shocked.

With a civilization more than a thousand years ago, it is indeed a test to open up such a space in the mountain, but as long as there are people, it is not too difficult to have enough time. In addition to the bat cave we entered, there were several other caves of different sizes on the surrounding walls, and there were several collapsed and weathered wooden shelves in the clearing, which could not be seen for what they were for, and they would shatter when touched. There is also a deep well in the middle of the clearing, but it looks like it has been dry for a long time.

At this time, my cousin pointed to a slightly larger hole in the distance and said, "That hole is the entrance to the ancient tomb, and we have walked through the others, all of which lead to the outside." ”

We were busy shining our searchlights at the entrance of the cave, surrounded by arched openings made of tomb bricks, and the archaeological team was excited. At this time, the Ahri found an open space and sat down and motioned for everyone to rest in place, eat something, and then go into the cave, so everyone sat down to rest, boiled some hot water, took out compressed dry food, and listened to the old horse add oil and vinegar to the mechanism in the tomb while eating. Everyone else listened attentively, and Li Xiaogang, who was wearing glasses, took out a notebook and wrote it down.

Since I had heard from Lao Ma before, I was not interested, so I ate with my head bored, drank two cups of hot water, and after I was done, I felt that my little stomach was swollen, and I wanted to find a place to pee.

Then I got up and walked to a hole in the distance, because there were women in the team, so I found a hole farther away, it was dark everywhere, and I didn't dare to go too far, to see that the distance was about the same, I put the wolf's eye flashlight under my arm and began to pee on the wall of the cave, just halfway through, in the corner of my eye, I felt that there was a shadow outside the range of the flashlight, about seven or eight meters behind me on the right side, I thought that no one would follow me to pee when I came, look at the shadow is very short, After thinking about it, if it was a person in the team, this height would only be the monkey. Because the wolf's eye flashlight was caught under my armpit, the place where the shadow stood was behind me, and I had to wait until I finished peeing to fully turn around and see clearly, so I first turned my face to the left to look at the pile, and saw that the monkey was looking up with his face, sitting there and listening to the old horse flickering, at that moment my scalp exploded, and I was busy turning my face to the right, and the shadow hidden in the darkness was still standing there, and it seemed to be moving slowly towards me, and my heart said that there would be other people here besides ten of us, if not, So what is this black and moving shadow, I can't help but think about it.

At this time, I had already closed the zipper, slowly grabbed the wolf-eye flashlight under my armpit with my hand, and was about to turn around to see what was going on.

I only heard the old watch over there shouting: "Zhou Dao, okay, it's time to go." ”

I said yes, and turned around randomly, because I was facing against the wall, and when I turned around, the flashlight would sweep through the darkness behind me, and at the moment when the light passed, a strange, terrifying face appeared in front of me, blood-red eyes, staring straight at me motionless, my mouth was wide open at an unscientific angle, I screamed in fright, took a few steps back, and then ran to the team.

I pointed to the place and screamed like crazy, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts there,"

Everyone was frightened and used searchlights to shine over, only to see a white monster squatting there with only a few short hairs on the top of my head, the size of which was very similar to a human, one hand on the ground, the other covered the eyes as if afraid of seeing the bright light, the mouth was still wide open, making a sound similar to breathing.

At this time, I only heard that Li Xiaogang say in horror: "This, this is not, the mountain god,"

The old horse looked at him and asked, "What the mountain god, have you seen it before?" ”

That Li Xiaogang trembled and said: "I saw it when I was a child, in a village in my hometown in Shanxi, there was a hunter in the village who once hunted in the mountains and brought back such a thing, and the people in the village watched it, and the old village chief of the village told Orion that it was the grandfather of the mountain god on the mountain, and asked him to release it quickly, but the hunter did not listen to the village chief and was ready to take it to the town the next day to buy it, and then even the two children of the hunter and the monster disappeared without a trace that night. I heard the old man say that Grandpa Mountain God was angry, and he ate children, and he scared me into a nightmare that I had been sitting for a long time. But the one I saw when I was a kid was a little smaller than that,"

The fat man took a sip and said, "The god of your uncle, you are still an intellectual, this is a fucking degraded cave creature,"

The fat man said and took out a piece of compressed beef and threw it over, only to see that the monster heard the movement and hurriedly probed his nose to smell it, and immediately took it in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and then spun in a circle in place, looking like there was no threat.

As soon as I heard that it was an animal, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then stabilized my mind and asked the old horse: "What kind of degraded creature, did you see it last time you came, why haven't you mentioned it before, I'm, suddenly, it scared me."

The old horse snorted, "Yes, but not here, but in the inside of that cave, we have been to several caves around," he pointed to a cave in the distance and said, "It should be that cave, there are a lot of them, the local guide used to say that this is a cave creature, called frogman, you can't see it outside, I guess its predecessor, it should be some kind of monkey, because of staying in the cave for too long, the eyes are degenerate, even the hair has fallen off, hey! It's pitiful, but the ears and nose are quite smart, and I guess they eat the bats in the cave next door for a living,"

I looked again, and the frogman's eyes, although they were quite scary, did not even blink, and they seemed to be really useless.

At this time, Professor Cui sighed and said: "I heard that there is indeed a record of a hairless, red-eyed monkey in ancient times, saying that there must be a big tomb where this kind of monkey appears, and some people say that the ancient tomb robbers determine whether there is a big tomb in the mountain by whether there is such a monkey in the mountain, I don't know if it is a coincidence or deliberately used it to guard the tomb, no one knows." ”

I heard what he said seem to be very reliable, and my heart said that even if I deliberately used it to guard the tomb, I could only go there to be beaten with this virtue!

So saying, the old horse picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it at the frogman, and it hit it right on its body, and the thing was clever, turned around and opened its mouth again, and made a sound of Siss, but did not dare to approach forward and showed a backward posture.

Seeing this, Lao Ma smiled and said, "Yo, little guy, timid, and his temper is quite big!" ”

The cousin looked at the old horse and said, "Okay, leave it alone, let's go into the cave," and led us to the cave that led to the tomb.
