Chapter 18 Earthquakes

readx;?“ Do you recognize these symbols? I looked at Sophie in disbelief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I know some, but I don't know everything!" Sophie said with some embarrassment, pointing to a snake-like symbol in the Book of Nord and saying, "This one represents the river, next to it represents the jungle, and this one is a volcano......"

Before Sophie's words fell, the earth suddenly shook, and then a terrifying roar came from the depths of the jungle in front of the left, which frightened us to look together, and in the distance we saw a puff of black smoke rising into the sky, and the rumbling sound continued to come from the depths of the earth, like bursts of muffled thunder rolling.

"It was a volcanic eruption caused by an earthquake!" Sophie exclaimed, "It's not good to get out of here!" ”

Before I could figure out what was going on, the creek, which had been nearly dry, was suddenly reaching the depths of my feet. It was only then that I remembered that a popular science journal about earthquakes recorded that during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, groundwater would rise and fall strangely, but I had long forgotten the specific reason.

Seeing that the water was surging, the creek suddenly turned into a rushing river, and the turbulent water was unusually turbid, like yellow mud.

We were standing on the river beach, only a dozen meters away from the jungle on the shore, and when we hurriedly ran over, just one step away from the shore, the turbulent yellow mud flow was actually waist-deep, and the huge impact force made us almost unable to stand firmly.

Holding hands with each other, we barely managed to climb ashore, but the swelling water followed and soaked ashore, but only four or five meters wide before stopping.

We walked up to the dry land with water on our knees, and while shaking the yellow mud on our shoes, we looked back with palpitations, only to see that the river, which had been dry a minute ago, had turned into a large river more than 30 meters wide in front of us, rolling vicious waves, sweeping tons of mud and sand and roaring towards the depths of the jungle.

Unexpectedly, the huge debris flow actually came from the side cliff of a huge mountain connected to the rock dome in the distance, at the top of the cliff, at least more than 30 meters from the ground there is a huge hole ~ hole, all the debris flow actually poured out from there, forming a yellow debris flow waterfall, like a yellow dragon through the sky, meandering along the trend of the mountain.

"Good fellow," I said fearfully, "we can't have fallen from there, should we?" ”

"No," Yuan Meng pointed to the bottom of the cliff, where there was a much smaller tributary, "where we might have come down, you see, the water there is still clear!" ”

Really, there is a clear stream below the Yellow Clay Waterfall, but it is not too obvious, and it is a little difficult to distinguish when it is covered by the huge flow of the Yellow Stream. If it weren't for Yuan Meng's sharp eyes, it would indeed be difficult to find.

But even there was a distance of nearly five or six meters from the ground, and it was really good for us to fall, and no one was injured, which is really a miracle.

I really didn't expect that the large statue under the sinkhole would have a waterway connected to this underground world, but why did the stream almost dry up when I woke up? Is it because ......

Earthquake! It dawned on me that maybe the secret waterway didn't flow much, but the geological activity caused by the earthquake had instantly widened the waterway, forming a water leak that sucked us into the underground world.

Due to the irregular activity of the geology, after we were sucked in, the large secret channel was compressed again, and the stream was cut off, and naturally it almost dried up, and we were fortunate to be stranded.

Otherwise, we would have choked on the secret waterway and landed in this creek, which had not been too shallow before, and would have drowned if it had not been for the interruption of the stream.

Thinking about this joint, I can't help but feel palpitations and sigh secretly, we are really very fatal!

I was about to ask Sophie about the meaning of the rest of the characters in the Book of Nord, when I suddenly noticed a puff of green smoke rising from a hill downstream of the Yellow River, and the shadows of buildings near the green smoke. Explain that there are people living there!

There are human tribes in the underworld, which I never thought of before.

I pointed to the place where the smoke was rising and said, "Look somewhere, it seems to be a tribe!" ”

The four beauties looked up together, and at this moment, suddenly a strange cry came from the river not far away.

"Smash your life!"

This miserable cry was heartbreaking, and a few of us quickly ran over.

Parting the branches of the bushes, I saw a child squatting on a crumbling tree in the river, carrying a long blowpipe on his back, the one who saved me, the ghost mask on his face was gone, and his face was full of fear written in the mud.

He shut up when he saw us, as if he was very afraid of us, but the tree he was leaning on had been tilted to the side by the raging river mixed with a large amount of sediment, and he did not know when it fell, which made him even more afraid.

I don't know how this thing got to it, but seeing that he was covered in mud, he must have climbed up the big tree in the river just now when the river was so swollen that he didn't have time to escape.

In fact, as I expected, this kid has been lurking in the stream to observe us, but the stream swelled and he didn't have time to escape and went up to the tree, but he didn't expect the river to swell so badly that the impact made the trees crooked, and he had no choice but to shout for help.

I took a look, there was a distance of three meters from the shore where I landed to the big tree, if the child jumped down from the tree, I reached out and could catch him, as long as he had the courage to jump, I didn't know if he could understand me, and even said, "You drop, jump down, I'll catch your dry goods!" ”

The child may have understood, but he seemed to be more afraid of the raging water, and shouted and did not dare to jump.

I was annoyed, the big tree couldn't last long, this kid was still jumping around, I couldn't watch my savior die under my eyes and nose, I casually stuffed the book of Nord to Sophie next to me, rolled up my sleeves, and ran up with a bang, and the big tree was hit by me, and it was even more crooked. The child screamed in fright and almost fell down.

To tell the truth, I choked enough, but my heart was held up by a fire, and I didn't think too much, so I climbed up in a few clicks, picked up this disobedient boy, and threw it out.

In the midst of this kid's scream, Yuan Meng lightly stretched his ape arm and took him over steadily. It's ridiculous to say that this kid got his feet on the ground and screamed in fright.

The tree was tilted a little more by the force I had just exerted, and now it was at an angle of seventy degrees to the surface of the river, so I quickly stabilized my body, kicked the trunk violently, and jumped ashore in relay.

The big tree behind me finally couldn't support it anymore and fell down in response to the situation. The surging yellow water immediately swept it downstream.

When I returned to the shore, I saw Yuan Meng muttering with the child in a language I didn't understand. I can't help but be surprised, this shouldn't be, it should be Sophie who understands the indigenous language of South America, where did Yuan Meng learn it? But what surprised me even more was that Qingfeng next to me seemed to understand this esoteric language. What's going on?

After a moment of communication, Yuan Meng touched the child's head, straightened up and said something that shocked me, "This child is a Chinese in the Ningbo area, and the tribe over there is the habitat of the Chinese!" ”

"What?" I was dumbfounded, I almost blurted out, "Sister, don't lie to me if I don't read much, this is a dark world deep underground in the Americas, why did you run out of a group of Ningbo people, what the hell is it?!" ”
