Chapter 481: Exit and Strange Face
After the night, I caught a dozen fish, grilled them into slightly charred dried fish, threaded them with the thread drawn from my shoelaces, and hung them on my body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After solving the food problem, we continued on the road, intending to walk through the underground stone forest and find the entrance to the exit.
It is difficult to find a place underground, I looked around and found that where we are, there is a typical karst landform, these unique forms of Paleozoic karst landform communities, like a natural and complex underground labyrinth.
It's easy to get lost in the underground stone forest, but now we can't do that much, so we can only use a few simple torches made of roasted fish oil and ignition mushrooms to walk forward.
The surroundings were quiet and terrible, I carried Lu Nuonuo on my back, held Chen Xiyu in my arms, and went deep into the underground stone forest with dried fish hanging on my body.
The stone forest landscape is bizarre, many cave pillars grow vertically from the top of the cave, and the stone forest complements each other, walking in it is like walking in the mouth of the abyss monster, and these stone forests are the teeth of monsters.
The torch caused by the ignition burns very slowly, and the light is not very bright, but it is better than nothing, and I hold the torch very low so that the light of the fire can illuminate the road ahead.
There are many fossils exposed on the surrounding stone columns, many of which are very well preserved, and some of the huge shellfish fossils are the size of a washbasin, which looks extremely spectacular.
A frail Chen Xiyu told us that the Stone Forest area here was once an ocean, and about 250 million years ago, the seabed was lifted up, and the limestone layers that were originally on the bottom of the sea were exposed. The flowing water that dissolves carbon dioxide is slightly acidic and reacts chemically with the limestone, gradually dissolving the hard rock.
Our current location is supposed to be a submarine karst cave, and the continuous erosion of the sea water that flows through it has evolved into the strange landscape of stone pillars on top and bottom.
Most of these limestones are formed in the ocean and are sedimentary rocks. Hundreds of millions of years ago, there were countless kinds of marine organisms growing in the ocean, these creatures lived and died, their bones, plus the sediment brought by the rivers into the sea and all kinds of calcium-containing detritus, deposited together, with the accumulation of millions of years, tens of millions of years, continuous compacting, petrification, and finally at the bottom of the ocean, the formation of limestone.
I have seen a lot of fossils in Shabalam, so I don't feel new to the fossils in these stone pillars, but Lu Nuonuo and Chen Xiyu are constantly scanning the surrounding environment and are more interested in these fossils.
Walking to a huge stone tower made of shell fossils, I squatted down and picked up a fossil of chickpews and handed it to Chen Xiyu. ”
I scanned around in confusion, and there were stone towers everywhere, but there was nothing.
However, as soon as Lu Nuonuo said this, I immediately felt that something seemed to be watching us in the dark.
I have a pang in my heart, for this kind of underground stone forest structure, I have always been very jealous, this complex terrain, is the most favorite place for some ancient animals to live, and since there are fish in the puddle here, it means that there is no shortage of food and water here, in line with the living conditions of animals.
Consciously looking out for everything around me, I immediately noticed something unusual, some of the shells here, which don't seem to be fossils, but some fresh conch, which look a bit like the kind of seashells on the beach that have been dead for a while.
This made me very surprised, could it be that these shellfish were fished out of the water by something to eat?
"This place should not be left for long, let's hurry up."
The vigilance in my heart grew stronger, and I had a faint bad feeling, so I walked forward quickly.
After walking for about ten minutes, there were suddenly some sounds around me, and I glanced around, but I didn't find any trace.
At this moment, a skeleton in front of me caught my attention, it was the skeleton of a man, I hurriedly ran over to look, and found that it was supposed to be an adult, and the clothes had been torn by something, but from the material of the clothes, it should be a blue tunic from the fifties and sixties.
The bones were gnawed clean, it looked like they had been bitten many times, the finger bones were eaten, and many bones were scattered around, which looked particularly miserable.
I picked up a bone and put it in front of my eyes to look closely, and found that there were many dense needle-like bite marks on the bones.
This kind of bite mark is very rare, and I don't remember any animal in nature with needle-like teeth.
"Could it be something buggy?" Lu Nuonuo raised such a question.
"I don't know, no matter what it is, we have to get out of here quickly, Heizhugou has lost people and animals all year round, I'm afraid it has something to do with this place."
I didn't continue to dwell on the bones on the ground, and continued to move forward with the two men, by this time the fire was weakened, and by the light of the fire, I could faintly see a huge rock barrier in front of me, with many cracks in it.
There are a lot of bones scattered around, both human and animal, Lu Nuonuo and Chen Xiyu covered their noses, there was a fishy smell around them, and it smelled very disgusting.
Seeing the bones of so many people, I couldn't help but lift my spirits, since there are so many human bones here, then presumably these people who hunt for anything need an exit.
All we have to do is find that exit, and we'll be able to escape.
With hope of survival, we immediately raised our torches, intending to use the beating of the flames to test which hole had air flow through.
As I put the torches one by one in front of the cracks to try, the flames did not shake, and the torches were about to burn out, and I was a little anxious, and at this moment, the torches that I was about to extinguish suddenly lit up, as if the cigarette that was about to be extinguished would light up after a puff of cigarettes.
I was shocked and knew that there should be less noticeable air currents passing through, so the torches would only light up when they were exposed to more oxygen.
I was quite excited, knowing that as long as the air moved, we would have a chance to get out of the ground, and thinking about this, I said to the two of them, "Let's go without further ado." ”
The cracks in the mountain are very narrow and rugged, so I put Lu Nuonuo and Chen Xiyu here, and the three of them went out with strong spirits.
The crack was undulating, very difficult to walk, because we were afraid of encountering something, we walked very fast, Lu Nuonuo's body was a little weak, and he fell carelessly and broke his leg.
The smell of blood is very clear to me now, and it smells sweet in my nose.
I screamed badly, the smell of blood was very irritating to the animals, and I knew it was not a good sign, so I urged the two of them not to stop and continue walking.
As I walked, I suddenly felt a cold breath coming from behind, and my scalp exploded, and I knew that something was coming towards us, so I hurriedly looked back.
It was a hairless creature, with huge claws, sharp nails thicker than fingers, curved like eagle claws, and the monster had a face similar to that of a man, but the head was so large that it looked like a diamond-shaped cauldron.
The neck of this thing is very long, the skin of the neck is a bit like a snake, the nail pieces on it are not regular, there is no feeling of tightness, I grabbed the torch and motioned to Lu Nuonuo and Chen Xiyu to stop, and then stopped in place and looked at him.
The monster stared at me with two brass bell-like eyes, and seemed to be curious about me, and kept looking at me, and when he saw that I had been staring at him, he suddenly opened his mouth, revealing four or five rows of teeth like thin needles, and made an attacking gesture at me......
