Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bronze Gate
I held a wolf-eyed flashlight and stared at the rough petroglyphs on the rock wall, and suddenly found that Yuan Meng and Qingfeng around me had disappeared, and a sense of loneliness and fear instantly occupied my state of mind, "Yuan Meng? I couldn't help but call softly.
No one answered me.
The dark cavern was so empty and quiet that my soft call was magnified countless times, and the aftermath echoed through the high rock dome, as if an eerie ghost was crying coldly.
This terrifying atmosphere frightened me and quickly shut up, but I am not an ordinary person, and my rich experience in dissecting corpses in medical school has tempered my nerves strong enough, so although no one answered, I didn't feel too panicked, just came back to them with a wolf-eyed flashlight.
I just walked back to the place where Qingfeng Xiaojie was, a ball of blood-red light and shadow, like lightning flew into the beam of the flashlight, rushing towards my front door, probably in that thousandth of a second, I turned sideways, and smashed the flashlight into the mass of objects that swept past my front door, from the feel, I felt that it was hit!
The thing let out a strange scream and swooped into the depths of the tunnel behind me.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Yuan Meng and Qingfeng magically appear, carrying a baby-sized red beast out of the depths of the tunnel, I just opened the posture to encircle the monster that attacked me, I saw that the little thing moved quickly, clinging to the rock mass above the tunnel, and with a bang, it flew over my head, plopped, drilled into the dark river behind me, splashed a splash, and disappeared.
I ran to the dark river, and saw ripples on the water, and the shadow of the little monster was there.
At this time, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng rushed to my side, "It didn't hurt you, did it?" Yuan Meng asked with concern. Did it run! Qingfeng said, "Why don't you stop it?" ”
"Holy, sister!" I said aggrievedly, "It's so fast, I thought, can I stop it?" ”
"Tell me more!" Qingfeng complained, "Why did you get it into the tunnel, my sister and I were behind you and wanted to sneak up on it?" ”
"I'm dizzy," I remembered that the two sisters must have found the ability to be invisible, presumably because they had spotted the little monster that was quietly following me, and was about to stealth to give it a surprise attack, but I came out of the tunnel to find them, disrupting their plans.
"You've thought well, so I need to know your plan? Otherwise, how can I cooperate with you! I said.
"That's right, too!" Qingfeng suddenly realized.
"Just let it run, it's good that it doesn't get hurt!" Yuan Meng said, "But you have to be more careful in the next journey, that thing must still find a chance to sneak up on us." ”
"Is it a red-blooded baby?" I said, no wonder it felt so familiar just now, and there was a faint smell of blood. That little fucking monster had been following us, and I didn't realize until it attacked me, and it almost got it. I shudder at the thought of its toxicity. It seems that I was really careful about the road below.
"Did you get anything?" Yuan Meng asked.
I nodded, "I put it with my backpack." I didn't see you when I came back, I thought something was wrong, it turned out that you were ...... It's the observation of petroglyphs. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and changed the word "pee" into a petroglyph. But the sisters of the Yuan family knew it, and they all showed unnatural expressions.
Afraid that they would be embarrassed, I turned around and went to inflate the lifebuoy first.
To tell the truth, I was purely blind to the application of ladders and lifebuoys, because I thought that since there were boats and rivers in the code, I would definitely use them, but I never expected that they would be used.
I bought three adult lifebuoys, with a diameter of nearly one and a half meters, and after I had enough gas, I used a climbing rope to tie them to the telescopic ladder that was all pulled apart, one in the front, one in the back, one in one place.
After fixing it, with the help of Yuan Meng and Qingfeng, I buckled it upside down on the dark river, and a simple raft was made.
"Yikes! I can't see it, you're really talented! Qingfeng was sincerely admired.
"Of course!" I said unceremoniously, "Let's try the buoyancy." ”
I lifted the heavy hiking bag on the ground and rested on the ladder rungs in front of me, the lifebuoy in front of me only sank a few millimeters, and it seemed that the buoyancy of another person would be absolutely fine.
And that's it!
We put all the equipment on it, and then I let Yuan Meng and Qingfeng sit on the two lifebuoys in the front and back, while I sat in the middle, because I had the largest weight, so the distribution of gravity would be a little smoother.
Since there were no oars, we had to pull out the sapper shovel of the mountaineering bag instead.
Since you want to paddle the water, you can't use the wolf's eye flashlight that shoots far away, so you can only wear a tactical miner's lamp, although this thing doesn't shine too far, but it spreads out, you can observe the situation on the surface of the dark river well, and you can find the reef in a more timely manner and avoid it. Because our life raft is really fragile and inflatable, it sinks immediately when it hits a sharp reef. Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Another benefit of wearing a miner's lamp is that it protects our heads from falling rocks from the cave dome.
Yuan Mengqingfeng and I slowly rowed the sapper shovel, slowly left the dark river, and drifted deeper along the direction of the cave, like the belly of the mountain.
The underground river seems to be still, there is no flow at all, and the water temperature is extremely low, and we can feel the cold above the water. After about four or five hundred meters to the belly of the mountain, the temperature was so low that even the breath we exhaled turned white.
At this time, the originally high dome of the cave suddenly became low, the highest point was only two or three meters, and the lowest place I could reach out and touch the cold and damp rock. The dark river has become narrow here, but it is deeper, and the miner's lamp shines down, and the swarthy depth is bottomless.
The water of the dark river can feel a little speed here, but we don't dare to let it drift, in case we hit the rock walls on both sides, it will be troublesome.
It may have reached the bottom of the Tomb Mountain, and the rocks above the river began to seep water, and the cold water droplets kept smashing on our mine caps, falling in the calm dark river, forming a series of ticking sounds, breaking the dead silence of the dark river in the cave.
I looked ahead, and the darkness ahead was unreachable, as if there was no end in sight.
I think these underground rivers should belong to the same water system as the Yin River not far away, but one is on the ground and the other is deep underground. That would be miserable.
There's definitely a big underground river out there, and the current is so fast that it can overturn our poor improvised life rafts. Once there we will surely die, and even the corpses will be forever drowned in the dark crevices of the earth, never to be found.
It's chilling to think about!
Fortunately, this low river channel is only more than 200 meters, and when it comes out of this waterway, the cave suddenly opens up, and the water of the dark river becomes imperceptible again, as if it is still.
The underground cave was pitch black, the rock dome above was not visible under the light of the miner's lamp, and the course of the dark river became unusually wide, as if we had reached an underground lake.
In order to figure out the environment we were in, I took out the wolf's eye flashlight, turned on the switch, and a snow-bright beam of light pierced the darkness in an instant.
Although this flashlight is small in size, only 11 centimeters long, it can reach a distance of 350 meters, and can make people blind for three minutes at close range. It can be seen that its beam is strong.
Under the bright beam of the wolf's eye flashlight, the huge cavern leaked its true face. It's a small underground lake. We're right on the edge of the lake. The lake is as black as ink, bottomless, like a huge black hole. We sat on the improvised life raft and had a lot of heart palpitations.
When I looked up, the rock dome was 60 meters, the height of a 20-story building, and the rough rock face showed that the cave was a natural formation.
When I held up the wolf's eye flashlight and looked forward, my stunned mouth suddenly turned into an O-shape!
Directly in front of us, fifty meters away, there was a karst cave that went deeper, but there was a huge gate twenty meters high erected there, which completely sealed the karst cave.
The huge gate was made of bronze and closed with two doors closed like a city gate. Although the huge door nail on the door is still clearly seen from a distance of more than 50 meters, this huge bronze gate like a reservoir gate looks like a portal to the netherworld.
The shock of these two huge bronze giant doors to Yuan Meng and Qingfeng was no less than mine, looking at the giant gate together, their faces tightened, and no one spoke.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" I whispered.
Now that you've arrived here, even if the bronze giant gate in front of you is really a portal to the underworld, you have to go forward and find out.
I held up the flashlight as a signal to pilot, and Yuan Meng and Qingfeng gently paddled the sapper shovel and slowly leaned our improvised life raft over.
The closer we get, the stronger the shock of the bronze gate becomes. As we crossed the underground lake less than ten meters from it, my Yuan sisters stopped very tacitly and quietly let the improvised life raft float on the water.
We looked up, and the rusty bronze gate was right in front of us, compared to such a behemoth, we seemed to have come to the land of giants.
I saw the bronze gate go deep underwater, but what we saw was only the part of it that was out of the water, and maybe the part of the gate hidden under the water was much larger.
Given its enormity, I wonder if this was really cast by humans? Wouldn't it be a relic of an alien civilization?
Faced with this quaint and huge bronze gate, I couldn't help but ask, who built such a huge portal, and what was behind the bronze gate, could it lead to the mysterious underworld?
