I saw that Sankla was saying that the mechanism was difficult to crack in his preface and afterword, and I couldn't help it, and said hurriedly: "What kind of mechanism is it, you still need to practice after knowing the cracking method, but you have made your words clear." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

What I had in mind was also what everyone needed to know now, so everyone chimed in and asked Sankra to elaborate.

Sankra sighed again, and said with an embarrassed look: "That mechanism is really hard to describe, let me tell you this, that mechanism is a hidden arrow, a dark pit, and a squeezed wall and a sudden falling boulder, it is simply impossible to prevent it." Moreover, if you want to pass smoothly, you must not only grasp the time, but also control the speed, and most importantly, the softness of the body. ”

Listening to Sankra talk about the mechanism so strange and so powerful, everyone's curiosity was aroused even more, but Sankra couldn't tell the detailed structure of the mechanism, which made everyone anxious.

Sankra also found the sick words in his words, but his language ability was limited, so he had to say straight to the point: "Don't guess, when you get to the place, you will naturally be clear, we have words first, and those who are not good at physical coordination are better not to try to break through, otherwise ten lives will not be enough." ”

Sankra has said all this, and we can't press each other tightly, so we can only suppress the curiosity in our hearts for the time being, and wait until we get to the place to vent properly.

Perhaps due to the effect of the high tide, although we still encountered many caves used by snowmen for predation, we never found any snowmen emerging from them, and even the strange big fish in the dark river did not appear again. I thought, perhaps, that all the creatures in this underground world have mastered the law of high tides and will not come out to move at such a time.

After about four hours, the smooth sailing wooden boat finally reached our final destination, and everyone's spirits were lifted at once.

It was a large pool, at least a hundred acres of water, I don't know how deep, in the water, we found several unknown fish, compared with the usual four large fish, except for some differences in shape and color, the size is not much different.

Behind the waterhole was still a huge cave, and the water of the dark river overflowed the height of the waterhole, and continued to roll towards the cave that did not know the depth. On the right side of the waterhole, another passage appeared, but it was more than ten meters high, open on the cliff, but there were three arm-thick iron chains hanging on it, which should be climbing props designed by the ancients earlier.

It's a bit of a mistaken way to say that there is a passage above, but to be precise, it should be a huge grotto, like a giant frog opening its big mouth.

The height of the grotto is the same as the height of the main road, about 30 meters, but the width is four or five times more.

When we arrived here, because of the appearance of the waterhole, the turbulent water was eased, and the water in the dark river was no longer so fast, and we paddled with small wooden pulp, which completely controlled the speed and direction of the boat.

Under Sankla's command, two small wooden boats began to row towards the side of the grotto.

After only a few minutes, the small wooden boat was under the grotto on the right.

Sankla began to act as a commander at this time, pointing to the three thick iron chains that were two meters apart, and turned back to Qin Kunlun and said, "The iron chains can not only be climbed by people, but also can fix wooden boats, so let's move separately." ”

Qin Kunlun didn't talk nonsense, gathered everyone's strength, rowed the boat to the position of the first iron chain, and our position was directly opposite the second iron chain, just row it over.

When I got to the chain, I found that the large iron chain that had been eroded by water vapor for a long time had been embroidered, but fortunately, the chain was thick enough, and although it was rotten on the outside, it was still useful on the inside.

Thinking that there was nothing wrong with the chain, we began to pull it up, and after pulling it for about ten meters, the length of the chain came to an end. Next, we fastened the head of the chain to one of the main planks of the wooden boat, so that we no longer had to worry about the wooden boat being washed away by the water of the dark river unguarded.

After the two small wooden boats were chained, the next step was to climb the chains.

None of the people who could join the research team were weak, including those who were well-trained SWAT, so it took less than two minutes for all fourteen people to go up to the cave.

When you go to the top, the valley is really very large, and it is a pure white rock structure, although there are many faults in it, and there are many upside-down stalactites, but there are no fallen stones on the ground, which shows that the structure of the grotto is very solid, and we don't need to worry about the stones suddenly falling loose from the rock wall and hitting people.

The stalactites in the cave are hung upside down, the number is not less than 100, and the overall appearance is like the full mouth of a giant beast, which also shows that this cave has existed for a long time, because the formation time of stalactites is measured in 10,000 years, and the time of 10,000 years is about one meter long.

Looking up, the shortest stalactite is less than one meter, and the long one is more than ten meters, so it can be inferred that the formation time of this grotto is at least more than 100,000 years, or even longer.

Probably because of the increase in temperature here, the droplets of water that fall down along the stalactites do not freeze, but drip directly onto the ground of the rock structure, and because of this, the entire floor of the grotto appears wet.

As I got closer, I looked more closely, and suddenly I found that the texture of this stalactite was different from what we usually saw, and I didn't understand it for a while, but the mark next to it reminded me.

The mark pointed to a stalactite pillar closest to him, and said strangely: "The luster of this stalactite is so bright, it is dazzling, but it looks like jade?" It can't really be white jade! ”

The mark was unintentional, but it broke the doubts in my heart, I said that this stalactite looks a little weird, yes, the luster is too bright. I tried to shine it with my headlamp, and not only did the light refract back immediately, but it was also very harsh, like the sunlight reflected in a mirror, which was really weird.

As we all know, stalactites are formed because of the mineral precipitation in the water droplets, also called calcium carbonate limestone, since it is such an ingredient, it is naturally not much different from the texture of the stone, to be precise, it is a special mineral precipitation stone.

In this case, why is the stalactite in front of you so unusual, is it said by the label, this is actually a kind of jade?

No matter where you go, even in the dangerous ancient tombs, as long as the curiosity of the mark comes, you can't help but use your hands and feet, and the situation is the same now.

I saw that the eyes of the mark were glowing with greedy and excited green light, and he instantly pulled out the thorn and struck it on the stalactite, and suddenly, the stalactite with a somewhat brittle nature was knocked down a small piece.

However, no one expected that as soon as he grabbed the fragment, the mark exclaimed loudly: "Oh my mother, this stone will bite his grandmother." As he spoke, he let go of the fragment in his hand, afraid to touch it for a second longer.

Qin Kunlun didn't believe it, so he said, "What the hell are you doing, how can a stone bite someone?" ”

The mark pointed to the gravel on the ground, and said with a serious face: "Really, don't believe it, look at my hands." ”

As he spoke, he opened his right hand for everyone to see.

Everyone saw that he was not joking, so they all gathered around, except for Sankla who did not join in the fun, as if he had expected this to happen.

Looking carefully at the fat claws of the mark, it was really strange, a circle of white marks appeared on it, and it was the same size as the stone wheel corridor that fell to the ground, and it looked as if the stone had grown on the palm of the marker's hand, which was really weird.

This time, everyone had to believe in evil, and Qin Kunlun even bent down, ready to pick up the stone and experience it himself, but was stopped by Sankra in time.

In the bewildered gaze of everyone, Sankra reminded: "Don't try again, although the stone will not bite people, it can cause frostbite to people's bodies." ”

Frostbite! Are you kidding! Stones can also frostbite hands! Everyone looked at Sankra like fools, with a look of disbelief.

When Qin Kunlun saw Sankra playing dumb riddles, he immediately asked out loud, "How can this stone be so weird?" ”

Sankra shook his head and said, "There are so many wonders of nature, not everything can be explained, so I don't know what is going on. ”

Qin Kunlun didn't get to the bottom of it, but he seemed to think of something again, and continued: "Since the temperature of the stone is so low, why don't the water droplets on it freeze, this is unreasonable. ”

Sankra explained: "The water seeping down the stalactites is not ordinary water, you can just touch it. ”

When we heard this, we crouched down and tentatively felt the water on the ground with our fingers.

Sure enough, the skin just came into contact with the water droplets, as if it had been injected, and the pain was terrible, of course, this was just a feeling, indicating that the water on the ground was indeed unbelievably cold.

Wu Jian, who rarely spoke along the way, thought of the crux of the problem, and asked Sankra: "Such ice water, but it does not freeze, is this the legendary holy water?" ”

Sankra smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Hehe! Finally, there is an enlightenment. That's right, this kind of non-freezing water is the legendary holy water. ”

Everyone was surprised, not because of how peculiar the water was, but because they never expected that the holy water was produced here, and in such a large quantity, which was also too surprising.

Biaozi sighed and exclaimed: "I'll go, isn't the holy water very precious, you just waste it like this, let it flow to the ground in vain?" ”

I didn't think it was a big deal to waste holy water, but I was more concerned about my own affairs, so I said to Sankra: "Since this is holy water, then we still break through the Mao Array, hurry up and collect some and go home immediately, I have stayed enough in this place." (To be continued.) )
