Chapter 13: Cave Horror
Wei Yi sat in a daze for a long time before he fully accepted the facts in front of him. He looked down and thought for a moment. If you really go back to the place in your dreams, then maybe there will be some unexpected discovery.
Last time, he was inexplicably unconscious for so long, and when he woke up, he had already entered the body of the plant. At that time, he was unprepared, and he had no tools at all, but this time, he came prepared, and it should be far better than before.
"In any case, what comes is safe. Let's take one step at a time. With this in mind, he took out a camping lamp for lighting, turned it on, and set it aside. I used the light to organize the contents of my backpack and eat something to replenish my strength.
There is a fresh, earthy smell in the air. Wei Yi observed the surroundings while eating. Last time, he walked in the dark and couldn't see anything, but this time, with these tools at hand, he really couldn't miss the opportunity to get to know this place well.
The wind drifted slightly, as it had felt before, slowly drifting through the passage. Occasionally, a slightly stronger gust of wind appeared, and Wei Yi knew in his heart that this must be some kind of entrance and exit to the outside world opened.
However, judging from the strength of the wind, it is not enough to blow the confetti on the ground, indicating that the entrance and exit near here are still far away from him. However, it also shows from another point of view that it is right to keep walking along this passage.
He hurriedly ate something, and before he could take a few sips of water, he put on his backpack and got up again to hurry.
Along the way, there was silence, no sound other than the sound of his footsteps. With the help of the light, he walked all the way unimpeded.
Walking, walking, the passage became more and more curved. The passage also began to branch off again, and gradually changed from a straight avenue to a zigzag path with nine twists and eighteen bends.
The height of the passage has gradually decreased from tens of meters high. Gradually, Wei Yi had to bend over to move on. Later, he could only crawl on the ground and crawl forward on all fours before he could continue to move forward.
He simply tied the strap of his backpack to the waistband of his trousers and dragged the backpack all the way forward. In this way, if the road ahead is lowered again, he will not get stuck because of the fact that he is carrying a backpack.
Fortunately, as he crawled all the way, the passage did not continue to narrow, but gradually widened again. Wei Yi also gradually changed from a state of creeping forward to bending forward.
The sheep intestine path kept bending and turning, completely detouring Wei Yi's sense of direction. He had to stop from time to time and take out a compass to determine the direction of travel.
When the sheep intestine path gradually transformed into a spacious avenue again, Wei Yi was surprised to find that the direction he was traveling was actually going in the direction he had set off from.
"This? Something is wrong! He sat down on the ground, slowly recovering his strength and pondering as he pondered. But he had no clue.
"I have always been moving in one direction, and if there is a problem, it can only be on that section of the sheep's intestines." Wei Yi thought for a while, but could only come to such a conclusion.
But right now, maybe I'm suspicious, let's go ahead and see. With this in mind, he got up and continued along the road.
But what frightened him was that when he had been gone for a long time, he suddenly found some scattered supplies on the ground not far away. And when he approached there and saw something he had left behind not long ago, he was stunned. The facts are already obvious. I walked for so long, and I walked back to the original path.
Wei Yi squatted weakly on the ground, pulled out a bottle of water from a large pile of supplies, unscrewed the lid, and poured a big mouthful. He couldn't figure it out, why did he go back to the same place when he had always been moving in one direction?
"There must be a way out there." He thought to himself, sitting cross-legged on the ground, feeling the faint and almost negligible breeze that came and went.
Smell the fresh, earthy scent that looms in the air. He was sure that there must be an entrance and exit that opened from time to time in the vicinity. I have to be calm at the moment, and I have to think seriously about what went wrong.
He thought quietly for a long time, and finally had a solution in his heart that could not be regarded as a solution.
He rummaged through most of the supplies scattered on the ground, barely scraping together dozens of bundles of rope. These ropes are extremely thin and some are extremely thick. There are not only thin threads for sewing clothes, but also fishing lines for fishing, and thick hemp ropes. In short, all kinds of things that can be called ropes have been collected by him.
He straightened his backpack and brought only the necessary dry food and water, and the rest of the space was stuffed with these ropes. He pulled out a denim jacket and a pair of canvas pants and changed out of his clothes. He stuffed the rest of the rope into every pocket of his coat, and carried a few bundles of rope on his shoulder.
When all this was ready, he poured a large mouthful of water and strode forward.
He lowered the rope as he walked, as a mark. He first tied a dead knot around the wooden stakes that protruded from the ground, and then lowered them little by little along the way. He used this stupid method to walk all the way to the sheep intestine path.
This time, he stood at the fork in the path and pondered for a long time. I've been walking straight ahead since the beginning, and this time, it's clear that I can't go like this again.
So, he picked the path on the right hand side and dived headlong into it. The situation was just like what had happened to him before. The road is getting narrower and narrower, and the lower and lower. It wasn't until he had to crawl forward and crawl on the ground for a long time that he climbed out of the low path. And this time, things are a little different. As soon as he came out, he felt a sudden opening up in front of him.
This time, he may have chosen the right one. The passage in front of you is extremely tall and open. As far as Wei Yi's eyes could see, there were already more than a dozen football fields. Not far away, there was a little light in the air with a pale blue light, hanging high at the top of the passage. In the distance, there was also the sound of "tick, tick, tick" water droplets, which could be heard in the distance.
"Huh? It took most of the day's work in vain. Wei Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, put down the bundle of rope in his hand, sat on the ground, and rested for a while.
He turned off the lighting he had with him, and took a closer look at the place by the faint light at the top of the passage. There was silence all around, and the sound of "tick, tick" water droplets rang out from time to time. Not far from him, there was an entrance to a cave that glowed from time to time.
Wei Yi listened attentively and carefully identified the sounds, as if the sound of water was also coming from there. The light, including the one emanating from the entrance to the cave in the distance, was pale blue, just like he had seen it a long time ago.
"Could it be the same place?" He pondered for a long time, and decided to go there first.
He picked up his things, got up and walked briskly in the direction of the cave. Looking at the cave that was not too far away, Wei Yi walked for more than ten hours before he arrived. He took a sip of what little bottled water he had left, carefully listening to the movements around him.
However, just as he was approaching the cave, he heard the creeping of vines again.
Wei Yi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, lying on the ground, quietly listening to the movements around him.
After a long time, the sound of vines wriggling gradually disappeared. He didn't dare to be careless, and waited for a while, and saw that nothing else had happened, so he got on all fours and crawled to the entrance of the cave. He cautiously looked up and saw that there was nothing unusual inside, so he got up and walked in.
In the cave, as he had seen before. There are many stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and water droplets are constantly dripping down from the stalactites. On the walls of the cave, there are many glowing plants that resemble mosses.
It's as if it's back to the way it used to be. Wei Yi walked in lightly. I looked at it carefully several times. What I saw in front of me was really familiar.
"It's really like." He muttered to himself, picking a glowing plant from the wall and taking a closer look.
"It's really like moss." He whispered and threw it at his feet. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong, and I hurriedly bent down to pick it up again.
"Shhh He gasped violently when he saw what was going on underneath his feet. It was so weird that he watched as the mass melted into the ground and vanished without a trace.
"This?" Wei Yi was stunned for a moment and decided to try again. So, he took another piece off and threw it on the ground not far in front of him. The same thing happened again.
He swallowed and decided to leave the strange place first. But before he could turn away, the entrance to the cave was suddenly sealed. The entrance to the cave seemed to be alive, and the left and right sides were closed together in the blink of an eye.
"Not good." Wei Yi was taken aback and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the cave. This road is really the same as it was at the beginning. The inner walls on both sides of the cave squirmed rapidly, squeezing towards the center of the cavern. Wei Yi was in it, if he couldn't escape in time, he would definitely be squeezed into a meatloaf in an instant.
Wei Yi sprinted forward desperately, and finally ran to the exit of the cave just before the cave passage closed. He didn't care to look at the situation outside, and with a heavy step on his feet, he jumped out.
Sure enough, at the moment when he jumped out, the passage behind him closed with a "bang".
"Ahh Wei Yi howled miserably again, falling down the endless abyss below him. And this time, there were no more vines for him to grab.
