The trail was very narrow, and we had to grope our way one by one.

Gao Qiuwu walked ahead, I followed closely behind him, Shi Ling followed behind panting, and the strong light illuminated the path.

The trail zigzagged in an unknown direction, and I looked at my surroundings, estimating that it led to the depths of the mountain, an outside that no one had reached for a long time.

The more I walked, the more moisture became around me, and I felt a little moisture on the wall of the path with my hand.

But the trail stretched forward as if there was no end, and there was endless darkness in front of you.

As soon as the flashlight was light, I looked at my phone, and the hour hand pointed to three characters, which was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.

From the early morning to the current afternoon, several hours have passed without realizing it, and in this cave, time seems to have stopped, and there is no feeling of loss.

I was already a little hungry, and the gurgling sound came from inside my stomach and echoed in the trail, and the gurgling sound kept reaching out of the trail.

Gao Qiuwu walked in front, and when he heard the voice behind him, he couldn't help but laugh, then stopped and said to me, "I'm hungry too, let's take a rest first, replenish our strength before leaving."

Laughing awkwardly, I stuck out my tongue when Gao Qiuwu couldn't see it, but I was quickly attracted by the dry food that Shi Ling took out.

Sitting on the ground, Shi Ling sat next to me, took the water I handed over, took a big sip, and then swallowed the bread in his hand.

I was eating on the sidelines, paying attention to the situation around me. After all, it is impossible to predict what will happen in this unknown path, and what you can do is to keep every sense of responsibility vigilant, so that we do not lose our lives because of a mistake.

After eating and drinking, we once again embarked on the journey, the trail is getting more and more difficult to walk, it can be imagined that the trail is built to the end, it is already very close to time, so the repair of the trail is more and more simple, the potholes on the road are also more, every step must be walked carefully.

I followed Gao Qiuwu's footsteps and walked, and suddenly Gao Qiuwu stopped walking in front of me, and I hit it before I had time, and the Shiling people behind me knocked me down in a row.

"Why did you stop?" Covering my nose that hurt a lot, I complained.

"Look." Pointing to the trail ahead, Gao Qiuwu said to what I asked. "You say, which way should we go?

Casting the light of the flashlight not far away, we saw two trails appear at the end of the trail.

And it was this choice that made Gao Qiuwu hesitate.

"What do you think it should be?" Before I got to the two ends, Gao Qiuwu compared the two paths, but I didn't find any traces to tell myself what the choice should be.

My intuition tells me that if I choose correctly, then I and others can see a new world and reach the end point where we want to go.

If you make the wrong choice, then what awaits you is an end.

Death.

Eternal life?

A narrow escape?

One in two choices, we, are you sure?

――Come to "Pretend to be a Gentleman" with the heroine to discover the truth of the world, you can collect votes, share WeChat to earn points-

"I think there will be hints around the wrong path." Holding a flashlight, I looked around. "The person who built this trail is very delicate, since he can design the direction of the ancient jade as a hint of the entrance at the beginning, then that is to say, he will leave a code for himself to remember in every forked choice, to prevent himself from going the wrong way."

"I think so too." Agreeing with me, Shi Lingren also took a flashlight and looked around the wall like me, hoping to find a mark on the wall.

"Ahh

Hearing Gao Qiuwu's shout, I immediately walked to Gao Qiuwu's side, and Shi Ling reached out to help Gao Qiuwu up.

Gao Qiuwu supported Shi Lingren and sat on the ground while supporting the wall.

Shiling people are on alert. I didn't avoid suspicion and touched Gao Qiuwu's injury, Gao Qiuwu's injury was not too bad, only a little bit of damage to the inside of the ankle, I took out the disinfectant potion from the backpack and poured it on Gao Qiuwu's wound, causing Gao Qiuwu to sizzle in pain, and his hand unconsciously touched the wall, intending to distract a little.

"Are you alright? It won't hurt later. "Help Gao Qiuwu bandage it, as soon as I looked up, I saw Gao Qiuwu looking at me with a surprised face, as if he had picked up money.

What's wrong?

"I found it." As he spoke, Gao Qiuwu smirked, pulled my hand hard, and put it on the wall behind him. "Did you touch it?

My hands, resting on the damp walls, were slippery, with some moss and some uneven stone patterns.

Stone grain?

As soon as I came back to my senses, I quickly put my hand on the wall and touched the bumps on the wall more carefully.

The upper and lower arcs, with a pupil-like circle in the middle, are not the pattern of the entrance or what?

Shi Lingren was addicted to coughing, we looked at each other in surprise, and hurriedly put our hands flat under the wall, half-squatting, and walked towards the left path step by step in the direction of the pupils we touched.

It was still dark in the path, and then, there were many forks.

However, with the groping between our fingers, we have been safe and sound.

The sound of dripping water was ringing in front of me.

Tick...... Tick...... Ticking, the ground is getting wetter and wetter, and a puff of water vapor rushes in front of us, bidding farewell to the narrow path, and after passing through the last stone gate, we are presented with an open space in front of us.

A cave with the sound of water droplets.

Stepping into the cave, I just felt refreshed.

There is no stuffy feeling outside in the cave, nor is there the feeling of suffocation in the narrow passage, what is greeted is full of water vapor and a refreshing feeling that cools into the heart.

Gao Qiuwu flashed a flashlight and shone it around.

The cave is originally a natural karst cave, the ceiling is about ten meters high from the ground, there are a lot of stalactites falling under the ceiling, the shape is different, the brake is good-looking, some of the strings are like rock sugar gourds, some are like a flying eagle, and some are like people who read books while walking.

The stalactites fell straight down, and there was water seeping at the end, dripping into the dark river not far away, making a "knock" sound.

We walked to the edge of the river, put the flashlight beside us, and then bowed our hands to the water of the river and threw it in our faces, and the cold feeling made us sigh.

"It's so comfortable, the water of the dark river, it's cold and cold, it's so comfortable." Gao Qiuwu said happily, I was also moved.

"This is supposed to be the birthplace of the Barren Mountain Waterfall. It is said that the waterfall of Jinhua Curling Cave is to form an underground waterfall in the karst cave, and the waterfall falls into the underground dark river and flows undercurrent, and people call it the Milky Way pouring into the curling. Well, it's really comfortable. "Soak the towel in the water, and then dry it and wipe my face, I also sighed comfortably, you must know that just now in the path, we have already been stuffed with sweat inside and out, the sweat from my forehead even flowed into my eyes, and my eyes burst into tears, and now I see the clear and cold underground mountain stream, and I don't hurry to wash it.

It wasn't until later that we simply soaked our feet in water, and the cold and refreshing feeling spread from the soles of our feet to the doors of our heads. Only Shi Ling refused to go into the water.

"I've heard before that in the hot spring area, there is a hot spring with small fish, and when you soak your body, there are a lot of small fish around you, pecking at the dead skin on your body, and the itchy feeling is very special." Soaking our feet, we chatted as we spoke.

"Really? Do small fish bite painfully? ”

I suddenly screamed in pain, hurriedly stood up, threw my feet out hard, and just staggered to the dark river, Gao Qiuwu behind me heard my screams of pain and quickly pulled my feet out of the water and stood on the edge of the dark river. Cooperatively, he picked up the flashlight on the ground and shone it at me, and I was so frightened by what I was looking at that I took two steps back. I saw a strange-looking pomfret but even more ferocious fish biting my foot tightly, and no matter how I threw my foot out, it was biting tightly.

I saw it...... Sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, not an ordinary good person!

"Don't make a sound, this is a degraded pomfret blind fish, up to 1.5 meters long, please refer to the delicious African piranha, you can hear the sound and distinguish the position! It is said to be ferocious, some are highly poisonous, and the creatures that can be hunted include fish, shrimp and lizards. ”

Almost at the same moment as reminding me, Shi Ling took out a Swiss Army knife out of nowhere and plunged it into the body of the blind fish, and the blind fish was in pain, let go of the bite of me, flipped to the side and jerked and rolled, and after a while stopped moving, and collapsed on the ground and died.

"Who knows, we're just too careless." Rubbing the outside ankle that was bitten by the blind fish, I lowered my head to check the injury, fortunately, Shi Ling was well-informed and Gao Qiuwu reacted quickly, so he didn't suffer much damage, just a red circle on the outside of the foot.

"yes, that's too careless." Walking next to the blind fish, Gao Qiuwu kicked the blind fish and turned the blind fish over, and we saw its appearance clearly.

Due to the long-term living in the dark, the eyes of the blind fish have basically degenerated, and have become very few two, the size of a sesame seed.

Shi Ling was a little nervous: "I'm not sure either. It's just that I heard that in the Amazon basin of Brazil, there is a fish called piranha, commonly known as piranhas, as many as a dozen species, ferocious, often swimming in groups, attacking all creatures that can be attacked. Not to mention fish, shrimp, crabs, and loaches, even beasts and humans, as long as they fall into the water, they will not let go. The ferocious sharks, when they see them, can only flee for their lives. A few years ago, there were many places in our country that introduced this fish for ornamental breeding. However, there is no natural enemy of this piranha in China's waters, and once it flows into the river, the damage to the ecological balance is fatal, and the consequences are unimaginable. So a few years ago the state ordered, cracked down, acted in unison, and wiped out all piranhas. I didn't expect it to appear here again. ”

As soon as Shi Ling said this, I also remembered that there was indeed such a thing. But how can there be piranhas in the lake? This is forbidden by the state to be raised, who is stocked in the lake? And it has multiplied over hundreds of years?

"I'm reminded of an old movie," Shi Lingren said.

I also thought: "Three visits to the Red Fish Cave? "The clever combination of cave exploration and class struggle is more gripping than the depiction of exploration alone, and it is deeply memorable for us, the successors of socialism.

"There is a change in the Red Fish Cave, it seems that this cave is also full of dangers, let's get out as soon as possible." After applying a little medicine to the wound, I put on my shoes and socks, and saw Gao Qiuwu staying by the dark river, so I walked to Gao Qiuwu to help pack the loot, and then prepared to walk out of the cave.

Suddenly, Gao Qiuwu's face was a little pale, he frowned slightly, and covered his mouth with his hand, looking a little disgusting.

I saw him like this and joked, "What's the matter! Got a bad stomach? This is terrible, if you don't eat bad sooner or later, you won't eat badly, but it's out today."

As I spoke, I suddenly grabbed the wall next to me. Finally, I didn't hold on, and with a "wow" sound, I vomited all the things in my stomach, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't vomit on my body, and a bad smell permeated the surroundings.

Gao Qiuwu spit out twice, reacted, walked to the dark river and was about to pick up the flashlight that fell there, but he screamed in shock, I looked over, and was so frightened by the scene there that I gasped.

Then, he hurriedly pulled Gao Qiuwu and quickly retreated.

The area in front of me was full of blind fish one after another, short and thick surging water columns, rolling up violent splashes, and short ribbon-like objects like dark red stripes, swimming flexibly in them by the potential of the water, and occasionally a few of them burst out of the water and crossed into the air. Combined with the story told by Shi Ling before, think of the dark red blind fish, Bacheng is a kind of piranha in the water.

Each one opened its ugly mouth wide, revealing the two rows of long, sharp teeth inside, and the blind fish fluttering at the front, and like a commander, kept opening and closing its mouth, making a clicking sound, causing hundreds, no, thousands of blind fish behind to open and close their mouths together, and in an instant, the sound of clicking and clicking continued to echo in the cave.

Click, click, click, click,

The ground was tumbling like a thick fountain that didn't spray high, and as you can imagine, there was a lot of water at the bottom of the cavern. I don't know when the water is full.

I pulled Gao Qiuwu back step by step, and the blind fish in front of me seemed to sense our movements, and they also approached us in unison.

Take a step back.

Further!

The school of blind fish did not give us any space to leave, and before we knew it, we were already surrounded in the middle, and I took a flashlight to shine around, and I found that I didn't know when it started, and the place around me was already filled with blind fish in front of me, and my body was filled with their breath, and the sound of their mouths opening and closing.

Click, click, click.

We found out that it turned out that the most terrifying sound we have ever heard! And...... I want to throw up!

The peculiar fishy smell of the blind fish rushed straight to the front door, followed by the blind fish itself, no matter how Shi Ling and I retreated, the blind fish always crawled in our direction.

The blind fish in front of me had already crawled to the feet of the Shiling man and me, and I screamed in horror to see the short fins on the shoes of the Shiling people, clawing hard.

I looked at Shi Ling and shook my feet vigorously, but the blind fish seemed to be determined to cling to Shi Lingren's shoes, and Shi Ling people couldn't let go no matter how they shook them, and crawled in the direction of Shi Lingren's calves while clinging. I watched it, endured the nausea and stretched out my hand to tear the blind fish apart, sweaty and forcefully pinched the blind fish half to death, and then threw the blind fish out with a flick of my hand, and with a bang, the blind fish flew straight into the dark river.

However, the blind fish in the dark river didn't care about how their kind was treated and only cared about themselves and kept crawling forward, and when we kept solving the blind fish that crawled on our body, another blind fish had already climbed on our own body.

Succession after succession.

Desperate for life!

I looked at a group of blind fish in front of me, and thought, if it goes on like this, there is no way, I don't know how many such blind fish grow in the dark river, I can't drive them away, and I can't kill them. Gao Qiuwu also lost at some point.

"I see!" Shi Ling suddenly said, "Your symptoms are not caused by disease, but by infrasound. ”

"Infrasound? Why didn't you tell me sooner, and weren't you okay all the time? Gao Qiuwu was obviously a little angry, we are all highly educated, and we know that infrasound waves are so destructive to the human body, "Shi Lingren, why don't you warn?" ”

"The most important thing now is to destroy the infrasonic emission source." Shi Ling said unhurriedly.

The Shi Ling people around him pulled a blind fish that climbed to his chest, pinched it hard, only heard a "click", the blind fish had lost the ability to resist, but at this time, another blind fish climbed to the right shoulder of the Shi Ling people, I strangled the blind fish on the shoulder, but I looked down and saw a group of blind fish trying to climb up, and in an instant, there was no strength. I believe in the Shiling people, but who would ambush us here, and ......

It's endless, and that's what comes to mind. It's not like that, the longer the time, the more serious the physical exertion, sooner or later you will be swallowed by that monster, even if you escape, getting rid of the piranha will need to destroy the emission source to continue to climb out of the cave.

"It's not a way to go on like this, we have to find a way to get rid of them." Single-handedly deal with a blind fish, I said as I turned around.

"I know, too, but they're so numerous that I can't think of anything I can do."

"Let's get them together and get rid of them, didn't we bring two of them?" When I had an idea, I remembered that when I set off, because I thought that I might have to go in and out of the culvert, Yu Zujia specially brought us some special items through the relationship, mainly a batch of ammonium pine wax seized by the local police station, this kind of ammonium nitrate cheap chemicals that do not contain contraband, rich sources of raw materials, simple processing and manufacturing, safe to use, low cost, is a must-have for home travel, killing people, and killing people...... However, because of the low sensitivity, poor stability of the explosion reaction, incomplete reaction, small power, many toxic and harmful gases produced, and short effective storage period, it is not widely used in state-owned coal mines. It is mainly regarded as the first choice by black mine owners, and it has been repeatedly banned. It seems that this time it will be useful.

"I know, the question is how to bring them together, if we use ammonium pine wax now, not only will we be crushed, shall we?" Waving the flashlight to resist the blind fish, I heard that the Shi Ling people had gasped a little, but the blind fish under them still kept climbing up.

"That's too, oops......" I was suddenly bitten by a blind fish crawling up to my hand, and I dropped the flashlight I was holding to the ground.

The flashlight fell on the body of the blind fish, and the light shone on the back of the blind fish, shining on the scales of the blind fish.

"My flashlight." Just as I was about to lean down and pick up the dropped flashlight, I saw that the blind fish on the side had quickly climbed onto the blind fish reflecting the light, and kept pressing one and pressing it tightly.

I looked back and laughed, turned my head to look at Shi Lingren, and said, "We have a way." “

Raising the thing in his hand, Shi Lingren said, "Is this the thing?"

Shi Ling was holding a tourist flare in his hand.

The flare contains metal magnesium, when illuminated with a flare, the magnesium in the flare undergoes a chemical change to form magnesium oxide, emitting a bright white light, these white lights are not lethal at a long distance, so they are usually used for lighting, it can form a short period of light. The reason why I brought flares was just in case, but I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected effect. "Yes, that's it, so, now, Shiling people, I can trust you." Finally had the idea of joking, we returned to the previous state, I watched Shi Ling people hold the flare in his hand and stepped back slightly, and then took Shi Ling people's flashlight and turned it off directly.

Without the light of the flashlight, the cave was once again dark.

I couldn't see my fingers, and in the rest of the space, I couldn't see anything except the light in each other's eyes, and without the light, the blind fish around me were bustling again, and they kept making a clicking sound, like a metallic sound, which was very harsh. "Ready."

I said to the Shiling people.

"Hmm." In response, Shi Lingren threw the flare into the distance, a white light, drew a parabola, and fell into the distance, and immediately, the cave was covered by white light, turning into a piece of light, and the blind fish under his feet noticed the center of the light, and immediately turned around and swam towards the light. They fear the light, and they hate it even more!

Watch as the blind fish gather on the half-exposed rocks in the distance, one by one, crushing the rocks near the flares. I immediately took the small ammonium pine wax out of my backpack and, when I was ready, threw it in the direction where the blind fish were congregating.

The ammonium pine wax drew another parabola, crossed the wide dark river, and landed on the rocks where the blind fish gathered. We all waited in silence, only the sound of heavy breathing.

Then, with a bang, a suffocating ten seconds, a strong vibration and a dull explosion followed, and we were thrown up like a dish in a pot.

The ammonium pine wax burst open at the moment it fell, thinking that it was not too powerful, but we couldn't stand still, and we even grabbed the fixed rock wall with a rolling belt, and finally stabilized our body. Because of the accurate relationship of the landing point, the rock in the distance was still blown to pieces, and the blind fish crawling on the rock were also crushed, and the corpses of some blind fish also fell to our side because of the impact of ammonium pine wax, sticky, so that I and the Shiling people felt so uncomfortable.

But...... It's not enough, and the flares aren't attractive enough, then ......

"Come, look at the food I give you......" I stood on a big rock, put my left finger in the water, and the blood suddenly spread in the foaming water, just in a short time, the already uncalm water suddenly vibrated violently, looking at the whirlpool that rolled up, you can imagine that the volume of the comer is definitely not small.

Raising my hand, I looked at the wound, with the strengthening of my magnetic field ability, just in such a short time, the long crack has begun to heal, and the naked eye can almost see clearly, between the broken faces, the blood-red flesh filaments secrete mucus, slowly wriggle and intertwine, and then form new skin, except for a slight difference in color from the original place, it is no different, this is also one of the huge changes, compared with before, my body's self-healing ability is at least dozens of times stronger, but all this, whether it is good or bad, I have no way of knowing now.

Shaking my head, I drove the doubt out of my mind, since I can't figure it out, then I don't want to at all, anyway, I can survive from the mirror world, I have already earned it, and what is there to fear.

The sound of the dark river water being stirred came from under the rocks, attracted by the smell of human blood, dozens of mutated blind fish were rapidly approaching, trying to find the source of the prey, I looked carefully, and found that these species that survived in the dark ashes have permanently changed the shape of their bodies, the hard scale armor covers the body more than two feet long, except for the nimble flickering single eye on the forehead, the whole looks like a strong fortress, between the mouth occasionally opening and closing, the huge lower forehead with the exposed white teeth, There is no doubt about their sharpness and powerful bite.

Soon, the whitish rocky stalactites blistered by the dark river were discovered, and dozens of blind fish began to circle around the stalactites, and in the waters lacking food, even if they were of the same kind, in the case of hunger, they would devour each other, and there were hundreds of rocks with a faint fishy smell in front of them, although no meat tasted delicious, but it was better than not finding any food.

Seeing Shi Lingren's anxious expression, I didn't move, I lay quietly on the rock, every inch of the muscles of my body have been tensed, before the fish relax the last vigilance, I can't have the slightest movement, through the previous unsuccessful hunting, I already know clearly, this kind of thing I call a blind fish, has a strong sense of group, catching a is a simple thing for me now, but if they perceive the possible danger, to ensure that the entire dozens of miles of dark river waters, no fish will be hooked in a short period of time.

After the fish circled around the stalactites for the tenth circle, one of them was a slightly thin blind fish that fell behind, and suddenly, all the blind fish that were desperately swimming stopped instantly, I am afraid that this is the way this group treats unfamiliar food, through continuous cycle swimming, pick out the stragglers, let them reconnoiter the danger, and constantly optimize the genes of the group while obtaining food, which is also one of the ways for them to thrive and survive in the dangerous dark river.

Tentatively, the blind fish rushed forward quickly, and bit a rock stalactite that was constantly shaking by the waves of the water with all its strength, and the whole body suddenly swirled, and immediately tore off the rags at the corner of my clothes, and it wagged its tail proudly, swallowing it in a big gulp, although it was not very pleasant, but at least temporarily made its hungry stomach much more comfortable.

The wait continued, until the fish successfully obtained food for the seventh time, the long white stalactites in front of them still did not have any movement and counterattack, obviously the fish were driven by appetite, and finally began to boil, scrambling to rush up, the heavy scale armor slammed together, making a dull echoing sound in the water, just in an instant, dozens of rocks were torn apart, and the stalactites supporting me were suddenly half smaller, and half of my body was also immersed in the water.

Tasting the food, the fish had lost their sense of danger, and none of them were left behind, devouring the rocks in their mouths as they rushed towards my body.

"It's not tight enough!" Even though half of my body was soaked in the cold and wet water, my eyes were still wide, but I was not looking at the body of the swimming fish, but the undulating marks in the water, each of which represented the fixed way of movement of a fish, and when all the marks overlapped at one point, it was my chance to attack.

"Shiling people, fried fish!"

"Boom!"

Turn on the flashlight again, I found that there are a lot of blind fish remains under my feet, and when I look around, there are also many blind fish corpses floating on the dark river, it seems that the plan has succeeded, the blind fish should be almost wiped out, and the rest may not be able to stop their actions.

I cast the light of the flashlight ahead, and there was only a straight road ahead, and the strange rocks on the side of the road were very dark and terrifying. Turning around, I put the flashlight on Shi Lingren's hand, and my right hand pulled Shi Lingren's left hand, shocked.

Holding my hand, Shi Ling nodded at me. He said: "After this time, I am afraid that we have to be more careful on the road ahead, because we can't tell what exists in the natural cave." I had previously fallen into the misconception that the symptoms were caused by some kind of wave, but my initial judgment was that the wave was emitted by some kind of high-powered device mounted on the rock wall, but it was not like that...... This is the case, the group of fish that follow us can emit infrasound waves that the human body cannot bear, and the infrasound waves are very penetrating and will not be absorbed by the water, and the human body will first feel nausea, dizziness, headache, and then deafness, lack of balance, coma and other symptoms, and eventually die. Shi Ling explained the whole process of this incident in detail.

"But I've never heard of a fish that emits infrasound! And it's such a big group, if there were, it would have been discovered by humans a long time ago. "My doubts are still not completely resolved.

"There is no known realm on Earth, but not necessarily in the unknown world. And although the ancients have never shown the technology to surpass the modern earth humans in biology, it does not mean that they are not good at this aspect, and it is likely that these fish schools were cultivated by them in order to defend against the vast karst caves. ”

"How did you find out that the fish were doing it? Don't tell me it's intuition? Gao Qiuwu didn't know when he had already stood up, although his face was still pale, but looking at his appearance, there was no dizziness, nausea, or confusion.

Shi Ling shrugged his shoulders, which meant that this was the case. Gao Qiuwu snorted.

I shook Shi Lingren's hand, "Don't be afraid, let's just walk together." ”
