Chapter 198: Iron Ball
That's right, the big lizards that crawled around, exactly like the ones we encountered in the cave, these guys, soaked in this huge ring-shaped mire full ten meters wide.
On their backs, there are some ring-shaped things, and an iron chain on the top is thicker than an arm, and to my surprise, the other end of these iron chains is not tied to any stake or anything like that, and at the other end, it is pulling a large iron ball that can be measured by "tons" by sight!
In the middle of the iron ball was a hollowed-out round hole, and in the round hole, a semicircular iron ring just held the iron ball and the chain firmly bind, and when the monitor lizards moved, the iron ball behind them rolled forward like a wheel.
This reminds me of the situation in the village where donkeys are pressed on rollers, but these monitor lizards are covered in mud and have long been unable to see the color.
"That's where you came from?" Looking up at the stone platform on the other side of the quagmire, I smiled bitterly and said to her, Ding Ling curled up in his arms, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, I put it down and looked at the surrounding environment, at the entrance of the cave, the thin mud all over the ground became much drier.
From this point of view, these caves seem to be used to fill the place with water, and when it rains, the surrounding water will pour into the cave, thus keeping the mud pool not too dry.
Strangely, I never found the entrance that was supposed to be used for water filling.
I tried to lean out of the hole, and when I turned my head, there was a hole about ten meters from here, and about a meter between the cave and the mud pool, there was a platform more than a foot wide, which was irregular, but it looked like it could be climbed.
Looking around, there was nowhere to go, and I looked at the monitor lizards lying in the mud like crocodiles waiting for us to go down, and suddenly I had an idea. I wondered, didn't the two I met when I came escape from this?
If so, then there must be some exit from this quagmire, and I looked around, but I didn't find it, but there was an obvious gap in the stone platform of the cave next door.
Try it first.
Thinking of this, I walked over with Ding Ling on my back, but the stone platform was very narrow, and I had to be careful when I walked alone, and it was even more difficult to carry this girl on my back, so I untied my belt and tied myself to her, fortunately, the belt was long enough or it would be a trouble.
"How? Can you hold on? "A rather charming little face was pressed against the side of her ear, and I could clearly feel her body temperature, this girl had a bad temper, and this quiet was more acceptable.
After listening to me, she muttered, because the voice was too small I didn't hear clearly, in fact, the bigger reason is still with me, I didn't have the heart to listen to what she was saying, I just asked just to know if this girl is dead. Climbing from one stone cave to another was definitely the hardest journey I have ever walked over the years, I opened my hands and grabbed the stone wall, like a moth and slowly crawled to the side, on the one hand, I had to worry about being pulled down by Ding Ling, who was hanging in the air, and on the other hand, I had to be careful whether the stone platform would collapse weakly.
When I almost fell for the sixth time, I finally reached the area around the cave on the other side, and as soon as I got in, I laughed, this cave is dry, whether I can go out or not, at least I can find a place to rest for a while. I went into the cave and opened my eyes to look into the cave, which looked a little weird, but there were no ghosts or monsters in it, and nothing related to dirty things. With a relief in my heart, I put Ding Ling down.
Touching her forehead, it was still terrifyingly hot. This bird doesn't, there is not even a place to draw water, I feel very angry when I think about it, I settle her aside, I walked around in this stone cave, the stone cave spread to the position, connected to a place like a waterhole, I don't know that this is an unfamiliar exit, but, with a stone thrown in to listen to a movement, immediately know that the depth here is not something I can control, run back in a gray way, desperate I was going to cry, at this time, suddenly heard a whistling, ran out to see, A big cat broke through the air, and was skimming over the quagmire in an unusually strange arc, and the monitor lizard below saw it, and tried to catch it with its teeth and claws, but the height difference was too much, and all of them were in vain.
"This is the beaver?" Seeing its fluffy and markings, I thought it was a little leopard, and then looking at the two long gray ears, I was sure that this was the mythical beast beaver we were looking for.
Watching it climb the stone platform opposite, I was a little frustrated, and it was really unpleasant to be close to it but couldn't ask for it. While I was staring at the little guy and sighing, Ding Ling, who was lying there, had already begun to talk nonsense.
Holding her in my arms, I was helpless, and now I really have nothing to do about this situation.
Colds and fevers are all common things, it is naturally good to have medicine to cure the disease, and without the assistance of medicine, she can only rely on her immunity to fight, I looked at her, I really hope this girl can survive. However, at the moment, I didn't even have the ability to raise a bonfire, and thinking of this, I reluctantly walked out of the cave and looked to the side.
I moved a few holes against the stone wall, but I still couldn't find my way out, but there were some shrubs on the stone wall, and the left and right ones were broken a lot, and I ran back with them in my arms.
But the branches were all new, and it was difficult to light them, and with their own real fire as a guide, they finally put together a little bonfire, but the fire was not bright, and it was full of smoke everywhere.
I shamelessly stripped her clothes, put on the freshly dried coat for her, and even took off the military boots that were soaked in muddy water and couldn't see their original faces, this time, I could see the scenery inside clearly, but at that time, I didn't have the urge to take advantage of the well, not that I was possessed by Yanagishita Megumi, but I was so tired at the time, if it weren't for the fact that this girl was sick, I would have fallen asleep on the side.
The ancients said that there is some truth in thinking about lust and lust, but at least, I don't have that mind when I am hungry, sleepy, and tired to death.
Holding her shirtless, I tried to keep this girl alive as well as possible. After most of the night, she finally woke up, stretched out her hand to touch her, and her body temperature became much more normal, but she was still very weak, breathing steadily and sleeping very peacefully.
I listened with my ears sideways, and it was strangely quiet outside.
