Chapter 11: The Black Serpent in the Water

On the way back to Snake Valley, Ma Qian kept wondering why Black Whirlwind ate this kind of thing, I don't know if other monkeys eat it, this may also be a big secret of Black Whirlwind's own, maybe Ma Qian felt the need to find out the truth of the matter.

Stepping into the wetland path, Ma Qian's hair stood on end, he was too afraid of the two giant snakes, he had witnessed the giant snake kill the monkey last night, and if he ambushed himself at this time, he would definitely die.

He loaded the rifle bullet and passed quickly as he scanned the sides with his eyes. When I came out of the valley just now, I didn't think about the problem of the giant snake because I wanted to quickly keep up with the black whirlwind, but now I regret my carelessness. Still in danger, he reached the brook without any danger, and crossed the brook up the rocky hillside, and since it was still morning, the monkey had not yet left, and the black whirlwind was clearly in better spirits today, and was making a mother monkey squeak.

Looking at the Black Whirlwind's actions, Ma Qian realized that this high-IQ monkey king might be doing a terrible game, it led four or five hundred monkeys to live in the jungle alone, and could have found a better habitat, but it chose the snake valley where the beast did not dare to approach.

The serpent always met to kill two monkeys every few days, but the number of monkeys did not decrease, and the old monkeys did not seem to be too alarmed, did they adapt to this danger or did they have ulterior motives? Ma Qian analyzed that the black whirlwind may have expected the movement of the giant snake, so it subdued a few scattered monkeys in the forest every few days to join its kingdom, and these monkeys can only rest on both sides of the hillside at night, so it is often the new monkeys who fall into the mouth of the snake, not the people of the black whirlwind, this speculation is consistent with the two monkey killings.

Ma Qian found that there were two fewer monkeys that were newcomers every time, and a monkey with such wisdom was really successful.

Thinking of this, Ma Qian was shocked again, and he suddenly thought that the Black Whirlwind allowed Ma Qian to live so leniently because it wanted Ma Qian to become the food of the snake, which was a plan to kill people with a knife. Ma Qian gasped, it seems that the black whirlwind is not indifferent to its own existence, but it is a game it has carefully made, he is actually the same kind as those new monkeys, it seems that he is lucky to be alive now, and in the next few days, if he wants to live, he has to be careful of the black whirlwind that has been exhausted.

When he first came to the valley, the black whirlwind could slap Ma Qian to death, and now Ma Qian has basically recovered his health, plus with a powerful weapon, the black whirlwind is no longer his opponent, but he still has to guard against the black whirlwind from calculating himself.

The next morning after the giant snake attacked the monkey for the first time, Ma Qian saw the black whirlwind passing through the wetland, and he didn't understand what was going on at that time, last night the giant snake attacked the monkey again, and the black whirlwind went out alone again, and the last time it was definitely the same as this time, it was going to eat pink grasshoppers, that kind of locust is fatal to other people or animals, but it is delicious or nutritious for it, and its intelligence and strength may come from those pink locusts.

At the same time, Ma Qian finally understood that the reason why the Black Whirlwind settled in that pond was because it knew the secret in that pond, and it didn't want other monkeys to know, so it could use the two giant snakes.

No monkey dared to cross the wetland controlled by the two snakes, and the black whirlwind always went out alone to eat its delicious food the morning after the giant snake ate the monkey, it knew that the snake generally needs to digest for a few days after eating a food, and the snake will not go out and hunt during these days, the wetland is very safe at this time, but this secret is only known to the black whirlwind himself.

That trail was stepped out by the Black Whirlwind itself, and it looks like it must have lived here for many years. Due to the presence of snakes, there will not be a large number of animals and humans here, and without these disturbances, it can be its soil emperor at ease.

This is the secret of the Snake Valley, the Black Whirlwind has a giant snake to stabilize its world, the giant snake grows bigger and bigger because of the stable supply of monkeys, the more fierce the snake, the more "safe" this valley is. Ma Qian felt that this was really similar to the approach of the human emperor, knowing that using various military techniques to fight the world, and using various benevolent politics to manage the country, the magic of the natural world had exceeded his imagination.

Thinking of this, Ma Qian's hostility towards the Black Whirlwind suddenly disappeared, it was also to protect his home and his own world, I was originally accidentally intruded into the monkey's living territory, and I, an outsider, should not disturb the order of a "country".

It seems that when he is fully recovered, if he can't find the information of the team members, he can only set off and leave here, and now he has not yet decided whether to go back to the Dangzhuhe base or go to the mine in Naumun. Before leaving, he wanted to make sure that he wanted to find out what was under the vertical hole under the waterfall, and that he wanted to study the secret of the pink locust.

The monkeys, led by the black whirlwind, entered the forest in groups, and the hillside immediately fell silent, except for Ma Qian and the hundreds of large stones.

After eating something, Ma Qian felt that he should go and explore the secret of the underwater vertical hole. He had no diving equipment, so he had to hold his breath and dive, and since he didn't know the depth of the vertical hole and whether there was any danger inside, he decided to take it safe. He found the climbing rope and waterproof flashlight in his backpack, the underwater space was small, and he could not use a gun, he only brought his beloved M9 saber, which was thirty centimeters long, and had no problem defending himself at close range, and he carried the sapper shovel on his back for fear of encountering obstacles in the water.

The mountaineering rope is only 30 meters long, Ma Qian fixed the rope on a boulder, pulled it very strongly, estimated that the rope can go deep nearly 20 meters underwater, if there is danger, he will pull the rope to float quickly.

He stood in the pool, the black hole was at his feet, about three meters in diameter, black, the splash of the waterfall splashed his whole body, he tied the rope to his waist, said a flashlight in his mouth, held a saber in his hand, and jumped into the water with a deep breath.

The situation that I had feared about an undercurrent or an eye did not happen, and the force of the waterfall water only reached about four meters underwater, and the water below was relatively calm.

The further down you go, the cooler the water becomes, which may be related to the depths of the ground. As soon as you enter the water, you can see some small fish swimming, and after diving to five meters, there is no trace of fish. Since the hole is vertically downward, the wall is not smooth but very straight, and the deep hole in the stone that goes straight up and down should not be caused by the waterfall, and the water flow of the waterfall will not cut the stone wall so regularly. This vertical hole has obvious traces of artificial excavation, judging by the wear and tear of the rock, the excavation age should be a long time ago, at least not during the British colonial period (1885-1948), it should be excavated during the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar or earlier, it should be more than 500 years ago.

Because it is a vertical hole, it has become pitch black when you dive to 5 meters underwater, and you can only rely on the weak beam of water and electricity to illuminate it, and the further you dive, the weaker the light of the flashlight is, and it can only shine on the area of one or two meters in front of you. Ma Qian didn't dare to mess around, for fear of being nervous and relieved, in order to ensure safety, he could only be in the center of the vertical hole, descending vertically, fortunately, he didn't find anything along the way, and at the same time, Ma Qian was a little disappointed, there was no danger and no surprise.

The scenery in the cave is boring and unchanging, until it has been dived to a depth of fourteen or fifteen meters, the bottom of the cave is full of stones, Ma Qian feels that this is a quarry, is it the ancient Donghu Dynasty or the leader of a savage tribe in this quarrying and building the palace and mining this vertical hole? Ma Qian will not be able to figure out the origin of this hole for a while.

He searched among the rocks, but found nothing, only a small number of underwater beetles, disturbed by him, and fled in all directions.

Ma Qian didn't find any valuable clues, he was extremely disappointed, it had been nearly 2 minutes since he dived, and the limit of his breath holding had arrived, so Ma Qian had to grab the rope and float quickly.

When he floated to seven or eight meters above the water, that is, in the middle of the vertical hole, he suddenly noticed an extra hole in the stone wall under the light of the flashlight. He was stunned, why didn't he find a hole when he came down just now, and shone a flashlight into the hole, it was very dark, and the light of the flashlight couldn't shine too deeply, so he had to go up again, and he had to go to the water to ventilate first, otherwise his life would be in danger, and the pressure on his chest could not bear it.

His head slammed out of the water, gulping in on the air, and working underwater without oxygen was too dangerous.

Coming out of the hole, standing on the edge of the waterhole, why didn't you find a hole in the hole when you went down just now, but when you came up, there was a strange hole? Oh, by the way, when I went down just now, I probably didn't make a big move to save air, I kept facing one direction, and I didn't check the cave wall 360 degrees. And when he was floating, he just turned around and found the hole in the back.

Thinking of this, Ma Qian was relieved a lot, rested for a while, he dived again, this time he faced the direction of the cave entrance that is, behind the waterfall, and soon saw the hole, the diameter of the hole is about one meter, it is dug in the stone wall of the vertical hole, and it shines with a flashlight, the hole is very deep, and it can only be seen two meters away.

Ma Qian drilled directly into the hole, this hole is perpendicular to the vertical hole, the straight hole is tilted upwards after three meters, the stone wall in the hole is becoming more and more irregular, about 10 meters into the hole, a stone wall blocks the way. The stone wall is obviously built by hand, the stone is very regular, the stone joints are filled with something like cement, Ma Qian scratched with a knife, it is very strong, push the stone wall by hand, the line does not move, it seems that the wall is not only strong, but also very thick.

The cement is used on the wall, which means that the wall will not be built for too long, the longest is not more than fifty or sixty years, Ma Qian has worked in construction, and is very familiar with cement. Judging from the situation of cement caulking, it is irregular, and it may be that someone applied it inside the wall, which means that the construction person did not come out, and it is still inside?

Thinking of this, Ma Qian immediately became alert, could this be an underwater tomb? Judging from the surrounding situation, no one has been here for at least a few decades, which means that the people inside have been in the cave for fifty or sixty years! Are they alive or dead, or is there another exit to this hole?

All kinds of questions plagued Ma Qian, the hole was horizontal rather than vertical, so he could only bow his body in the cave, and the dust on the ground inside the cave was a muddy stain in the water.

Suddenly, a little golden light flashed under Ma Qian's right foot, as if something metal was hidden by the mud at the bottom, and Ma Qian stepped on it with his foot, revealing a corner. Ma Qian didn't dare to touch it with his hands, he gently picked it with the tip of his saber, and he was shocked when he picked it, if someone was in front of Ma Qian, he would find that Ma Qian's face was no longer bloodless at this time, and it was as white as a human skin mask.

What scared Ma Qian to the point that his face was bloodless was a badge, a golden eye, and a small black snake on the side, which was obviously the same brand as his black snake badge. Ma Qian originally thought that the dream was fake, he never thought about the use of this brand, for many years he only thought that the relics of his parents here had been carefully treasured. Unexpectedly, the exact same brand was found in this exotic underwater ancient cave thousands of miles away. Could it be that my dad is Burmese, or maybe he was here, is it the wall that my dad built, and he is the one who is inside?

After searching carefully for a while, there was no new discovery, so Ma Qian had to return to the ground with the Black Snake Badge. Go back to the stone shed, open the backpack under the boulder, and find out your own black snake badge, no mistake, the golden-eyed black snake, no matter the size or material, the two gold brands are exactly the same, the size, shape, and production process are all the same, and there is nothing wrong with a batch of goods.

The mystery of his fall into the forest has not yet been solved, and an even bigger mystery has come to him without warning, and this mystery also involves his dead mother and his biological father, whom he has never met.
