Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Underground River
I wondered why there was such an immortal existence in such a dry cavern that could even dry corpses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This thing, together with the carp monster and the blood leech that was discovered earlier, constitutes a phenomenon that we do not understand very much.
These things are not supposed to appear on these animals, or even in Guizhou, but why do they grow here? If the first time is accidental, and the second time is a coincidence, then the third time can only be seen as a deliberate arrangement.
There should be some kind of striking connection between these three. Or in other words, there is an ecosystem that is completely different from what I usually know.
Because of the existence of this unknown system, many impossible phenomena have appeared, and they are becoming more and more absurd and dangerous......
What's next?
With the experience of the golden python, the pangolin and this dried corpse, I told Wang Roar: "Be careful with everything this time, this flesh Ganoderma lucidum has mutated, and the corpse movement it caused just now must be some kind of reaction after smelling the breath of a living person, it can parasitize on the dead life, and maybe it can also ......."
I didn't go on, but everyone knew what I meant, and the previous golden python and pangolin also proved that hypothesis.
That's what these things are, and I'm afraid they can also be parasitic on living people.
The conclusion is amazing, the effect is terrifying, but after thinking about it, people still have to be rescued, just be careful, be careful, be careful.
In this way, the three of us continued to move forward along the gaps in the flat and wide karst cave, and followed the bloodstains on the ground to find Lin Shaosong.
I don't know how long it took to walk out, but the gap in front of us gradually widened, the moisture in the air increased, and most importantly, I saw the "iron lock" that stretched crookedly from the entrance of the blood well.
Because of the moisture, the iron locks that exposed the ground were more rusty than the chains at the entrance of the blood well, and even many parts of the chains had disappeared, leaving only a light reddish-brown trace between the ground and the stalactites.
Even though there were only remnants, I could see the direction in which the chain was extending. And it just so happened that the direction of the chain extension was exactly the same as the direction of Lin Shaosong's Baturu bloodstains.
At this time, the humidity in the cave gradually increased, and even the stone walls of the cave were covered with dew like sweat, and after some distance, the rust of the iron chain in front of us disappeared into the ground again, replaced by the sound of the gurgling stream in front of us.
Xian Hongye listened to the sound of those streams, frowned, and said: "There is a dark river ahead, and this karst cave system is the same as we guessed before, it is naturally formed and artificially excavated in the later stage. ”
Judging by the red leaves, the water flow of the Furong River will penetrate into the ground during the dry season to form a dark river, and the volume of these rivers is sometimes large and sometimes small, so the entire Furong River mountain body has been impacted out of thousands of ravines, and the flat and wide tunnel we just walked over is such a gap riverbed, and the current dark river is the same.
Just as Xian Hongye spoke, we followed the trail of the underground drag and quickly came to the vicinity of the dark river.
It was an ankle-deep stream.
The stream was not wide, and the three of us could wade through it, but on the other side of the stream, we shone it with a flashlight, but we found no traces or blood stains of the so-called dragging.
This made us feel very lost.
The blood stains and scratches are gone, we have become blind, in the very dark cave, it is difficult to find Lin Shaosong and them, and as we go deeper, we gradually find that this cave system is amazingly large, looking at the stream from afar, and I don't know how chaotic and complex the space is.
Faced with an extremely confused situation, Xian Hongye muttered a little: "Do you want to pass?" I feel that the risks are getting bigger and bigger, and if I don't do it, it will really outweigh the losses. ”
Hyun Hongye's words were very frustrating, and although I knew that she was making a suggestion from the usual position of cool thinking and the overall situation, I couldn't accept it either.
So I shook my head and said, "So be it! At this point, I can't bear to watch Baturu and them become the same dried corpses as before. Let's walk and cross the river. ”
As I spoke, I prepared to wade through the stream and explore the way.
Seeing that I was resolute, Hyun Hongye was not sure to say anything, but she stopped me and asked me to see if there was anything harmful in the water first, and it was not too late for the water to pass.
Xian Hongye's words are a bit of a soldier, but it's always good to be cautious, after all, I've been through so much, if I hadn't been careful with Xian Hongye, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago.
So, I stopped my progress and shone my flashlight, carefully searching the water of the underground river to see if there was anything deadly.
In fact, according to common sense, this kind of underground river water is often relatively lacking in nutrients, and there can be no large predatory organisms, and if there is a threat, it must be leeches, water mosquitoes, schistosomiasis and other small insects.
However, after shaking the flashlight a few times, this last bit of doubt was dispelled by me.
The water of the underground river is unusually clear, and when I shine it with a flashlight, I immediately reflect a halo of colorful light, and those halos reflect on the stone wall of the cave very beautifully, and it seems to announce to me that it is safe and clean.
I put down the flashlight and said to Chongxian Hongye, "I can go over this time ......"
Xian Hongye didn't wait for me to finish speaking, but suddenly and eagerly interrupted me: "Lao Tian! You're giving the stream a flashlight! Fast! ”
I looked at Hyun Hongye's anxious look, and I was puzzled at the time: "Still light? What do you see in the water? ”
Hyun replied, "Blood! In the stream...... It's all blood! ”
I scratched my head slightly, turned on the flashlight and said, "Impossible, everyone saw it just now, there is nothing in the water!" How can there be blood? ”
As I spoke, I pointed my flashlight at the clear stream again, and then showed the near-transparent water to Hyun Momiji.
"Totally clean!" Wang Roar also said at the same time.
Strangely, Hyun Hongye did not look down at the water, but raised his head, pointed to the top of the cave and said, "Look! ”
Following the direction that Hyun Momiji was pointing, we looked up.
Subsequently, everyone was shocked!
At the top of the cave, there is a dazzling transparent light, which is the image of a flashlight reflected in the stream, which shows us the appearance and shape of the originally transparent water.
In the reflection overhead, the stream appears softer and clearer because of the decreasing luminosity, and the stream takes on a faint red undertone against the milky white cave walls.
Blood!
I understood immediately! The stream diluted the blood of some kind of creature! As a result, it itself shows a reddish color, which we can't see directly because of contrast and scattering. And the reflection of the flashlight halo on the cave wall shows this truth.
When we saw the blood, we did not dare to slack off, and immediately gave up the idea of crossing the river and turned to the source of the stream.
At the same time, Wang Roar took out an explosive from his bag, and with a solemn expression, he once again put on a posture that was ready to fight desperately!
