Chapter 272: Flying Cat
"God willing, miracles happen. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info," said the bearded man.
It seems that I really went down, there are no Chinese present, why don't foreigners save foreigners, and ask me to save them as a Chinese? I'm that great!
I climbed down the rope with the warm belt around the waists of dozens of men, this sinkhole had existed for I don't know how many years, and the seeds had grown into dense saplings when they fell on the stone wall, and I passed the rope of the belt through the middle of these saplings little by little, so I could hold on to the rope and go down, so the descent was very slow.
There is no authoritative explanation for the formation of potholes in geology, and it is generally believed that it should be related to the collapse of the ground, where the loss of water or magma from the ground forms a cavity, and the ground above will collapse under the condition of heavy force, forming a pothole.
The farther down the light became, the dimmer it became, and he couldn't light the fire in mid-air, so he could only shout below, hoping that someone would answer.
Da shouted a few times and no one answered, I think it's already so close, there is no reason why they can't hear it, if it falls so deeply, the chance of survival is very small, I just reached the bottom of the cave, at most it is to look at the bones of the three of them, what is the point of this?
But this beard is really stubborn, even the corpse he has to look at, and when the time comes, I show the bearded man the three of their three clothes, and he will be convinced, so I continue to go deeper.
Suddenly something flew out of my side, scared my hand almost let go of the rope, I felt that the thing fell on a branch behind me, as if it was a certain animal, a flying animal, it was not a monster, I hope there will be no monster or anything like that, otherwise they will not have a way to save me after eating me.
I heard that there was a flying cat in the sinkhole, and I don't know if it was just flying over, but I don't care if the person who fell down is dead or alive, but most of them are already dead, I opened the fire fold with one hand to see what the legendary flying cat really looked like.
I turned my head and took advantage of the light of the fire to the luxuriant branches on the opposite side, and after careful searching, I found a strange little creature lying on the branch, slightly larger than the body of a squirrel, with a head somewhat like a kitten that had just completed the moon, with long, soft conspicuous hairs at the base of the ears, pale grayish black at the base of the back hair, pale yellow at the top, and black at the tip. The yellow color of the back of the neck is more obvious than that of the back, the abdominal hair is grayish-white, with a light orange hair tip, and the color of the flying membrane is the same as that of the ventral surface, but the edge is grayish-white, and the demarcation between the dorsal and ventral can be clearly seen. The color of the dorsal surface of the tail is similar to that of the dorsal part of the body, but it is lighter, the tail end is black, except for the hair of the tail base is slightly yellow, and the rest of the hair tips are black, forming a longitudinal stripe until the tail end. The eye sockets are surrounded by black circles.
This is probably the legendary flying cat.
Its two bony eyes looked at me with hostility towards me as an intruder, and as soon as the fire in my hand moved, it was alert, and it swooped down like a crater, spreading its wings like bat's wings, gliding into the depths of the cave, and after a few seconds, it disappeared from my sight.
It turns out that this flying cat is not a cat with wings, but a kind of duck webbing between the front toe and the abdomen, so that when it jumps in the air, it can increase the buoyancy of its body in the air like a plate, so that it can glide in the air for a period of time, just like flying in mid-air, and this animal is extremely rare, and people who are lucky enough to see it think that it is flying in the air, so they give it the name of a flying cat.
I picked up the fire fold and continued to climb down, and suddenly I felt that the stone wall I stepped on was empty, I hurriedly grabbed the rope, and stepped into it with my foot, it was still empty, why is there a hole here? I tried to stabilize my body, lit the fire fold, looked inside, there seemed to be a hole in the shadow of those chaotic branches, I grabbed the fire fold with one hand, and the other had no way to remove these branches to look carefully, even if there was a hole here, it was normal, maybe the flying cat lived here, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I blew out the fire fold and continued to go down, and after a short time, I climbed to the bottom.
I lit the fire, and finally saw the level of the ground, but there was no one as far as my eye could see, not even a monkey, "Hey—no one—" I shouted a few times, but did not answer.
The bearded man and the people above all shouted down and asked me if I had found anyone, and I heard it very clearly, and it didn't make sense that the three people who had fallen could not hear it, maybe they were indeed dead.
I replied to the bearded man from above, telling them that I had gone to the end and was looking for traces of the three men, and told them that there was little hope of survival.
"Be sure to find their bodies, and it's best to get a piece or two of their clothes, so that you can give an account to their relatives." The bearded man repeated the same words on it.
Why are the bearded people so stubborn, you tell their relatives that they were eaten by the sea dragon, anyway, the sea dragon has eaten so many people, and the three of them are not bad, even if they drown in the sea, why bother to come down to find it? My Qing'er is still alive and dead, who bothered to find her?
I secretly cursed these three foreigners in my heart to die thoroughly, so that I don't have to get them on top, if they are half-dead, I can really choke them on them alone.
I know that I am really not a gentleman enough, so I can think like this, Qing'er's whereabouts are unknown, my heart is in a mess, I don't want to do anything, and I am forced to come down to save people, save three dead people, and no one can be happy.
I had to be careful about my feet while searching for their bodies, and if there was a pit in the pit, I would be the fourth person missing, so I didn't look for it quickly.
The bearded man shouted at it, and when he found it, he shouted every few seconds, and then I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and if I always talked to him, it would reduce my attention to the situation on the ground under my feet, so the bearded man thought that something had happened to me, so he asked me what was wrong, and I answered every few minutes to prove that I didn't have any situation.
Even if it's very slow, there is not much flat below, at most the area of a football field, to say that the corpses of the three foreigners are not small, but how can they not be found, there will be nothing below them to eat, right?
If there is a large beast that can eat three people, I will have to move a little when I come down, even the golden python will swim in the grass and make a noise.
