The sound of the friction of the iron leaves was like a wave after wave, constantly rushing towards the bamboo raft under our feet, and although the bamboo raft was firmly tied, it could not hold back the saber-toothed vipers of this group of hungry ghosts to gnaw.

In desperation, we had to pick up the sapper shovel and chop up the fish that swam nearby. As soon as I swung the shovel into the water, the sapper shovel was bitten by a rabid dog-like saber-toothed viper, I hurriedly raised my hand to shake off the two saber-toothed vipers that bit the sapper shovel, and looked down and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the blade of the sapper shovel was bitten out of several rows of staggered tooth marks.

However, this is only a few saber-toothed vipers swimming first, and more schools of fish are surging behind, and if effective measures are not taken, our bamboo row will be bitten to pieces by a large number of saber-toothed vipers within tens of seconds.

However, the location of the bamboo raft is still more than ten meters away from the exit of the Mushroom Rock Cave, and it is now completely surrounded by saber-toothed vipers, and it is impossible to paddle at all. These last ten meters are as long and distant as hell, and I am afraid that we will never be able to reach them.

The fat man shouted anxiously: "This time we're really going to finish playing, I don't want to be a fucking fish food, Lao Hu, do you still have bullets in your pistol, hurry up and give me a shot in the heart, I'd rather be shot to death than be gnawed alive by this piranha." ”

I was also a little numb at this time, and gritted my teeth and said to the fat man: "Okay, that's it, I'll shoot you to death first, and then I'll shoot myself again, we must not fall into the hands of the enemy alive." ”

At this juncture when life and death were on the line, Shirley Yang suddenly said to us calmly: "Look at the way you two guys are unproductive, you are like a river on weekdays, a thousand kinds of viciousness, ten thousand kinds of tyranny, there is nothing in the world that can be put in your eyes." Now that you haven't passed Shalong Mountain, you want to commit suicide when you encounter such a little predicament, and look at what kind of face you have to talk about with the people of the world after you go back. Now you're all at my command! ”

After that, Shirley Yang raised his pistol, aimed at the dense area of the saber-toothed viper in the water, and fired several shots in a row, the river water was instantly stained red by fish blood, and the saber-toothed vipers around saw the blood, whether it was the same kind or what, and rushed over to bite the injured saber-toothed viper, and the crisis that the bamboo raft was about to be bitten was slightly alleviated.

Shirley Yang Gu couldn't put the pistol back again, let go directly, and let the 64 style fall into the water, at this time, he had already thrown the flying tiger claw far away at the white cloud mushroom rock at the exit of the cave, and the steel cable of the flying tiger claw was wrapped around the mushroom rock three times, and the claw head was tightly clasped to the rock.

Shirley Yang asked me and the fat man to drag the steel cable of the Flying Tiger's claws and quickly pull the bamboo raft to the shore at the entrance of the cave, and under the pull of the three of them, the speed of the bamboo raft was several times faster than that of the sapper shovel just now. At a distance of five or six meters, the fat man began to throw the geological mountaineering bag full of equipment and the two insect traps to the shore one after another. Each bag has a weight of forty or fifty catties, and it is lighter to reduce a bamboo raft, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

At this time, the grinding sound of the iron leaves was loud, and a large group of saber-toothed vipers had already swarmed like maggots attached to the bones, and we no longer dared to stay on the bamboo raft, so we immediately jumped onto the mushroom rock on the shore, and as soon as we landed, the rope that bound the bamboo raft behind us was broken, and the whole bamboo raft fell apart, floating in the water one by one, and the damaged strong searchlight sank with it.

I looked at the school of fish tumbling in the water, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, it didn't become fish food, otherwise I would have died in this cave before I saw the tomb of the king.

The fat man next to him suddenly shouted: "Ouch, no, the backpack fell into the river." ”

I took a look, but also surprised, just threw the three big backpacks on the shore, before I had time to drag them up, the first backpack thrown over, due to the distance, fell on the water's edge, the backpack was heavy, the gravel on the shore could not support, fell into the river. There was nowhere to stand, and if you wanted to get the backpack back, you had to go into the water, and the big bag was about to be swept away by the current, and the large school of saber-toothed vipers in the river was waiting for you.

When we set off, we categorized all the equipment, and this backpack contained a propane spray bottle, which could be used with a lighter to fire three or two flames, because it was not easy to buy, so we only got this bottle and equipped it when we were ready to pour it, just in case. And there are six refillable oxygen cylinders the size of a kettle in the bag, as well as ruler diving goggles and breathing apparatus, which are all indispensable underwater equipment for the Xianwang Dou built in the lake, because there are a lot of equipment filled with various gases in the backpack, so it has not sunk to the bottom for a while.

If this backpack is lost, we can collect the troops with our tails between our tails and go home. Shirley Yang was also anxious when he saw this scene, and wanted to hook the backpack back with the flying tiger claw, but the flying tiger claw was still wrapped around the mushroom rock, and he couldn't free it for a while.

I knew that if I delayed any longer, the equipment would be washed away by the water, and I only had the sapper shovel in my hand, and when I saw that there was a crack in the anticline of the rock on the shore, I didn't think much about it, so I used the sapper shovel as a rock wedge, and put the whole blade up and inserted it into the rock crevice, and then I used it horizontally, and the sapper shovel got stuck in the crack of the rock.

The backpack was actually grasped in my hand, and the heart was put down, but I didn't expect a saber-toothed viper to suddenly burst out of the water, open its jagged mouth, and give me a hard bite on the back of my hand in mid-air.

A piece of the flesh on the back of my hand was immediately torn off, and I shook all over my body in pain, and I almost fell into the river, although I was in pain, I didn't let go of the backpack. Several more saber-toothed vipers jumped out of the water and tried to bite me, and my body was hanging in the air, and the backpack was too heavy to dodge.

Thanks to the fat man and Shirley Yang pulling me back from behind, I was lucky enough not to be torn apart by the fish. I wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and looked at the injury on my left hand, but fortunately it was not strict, only a piece of flesh was bitten off, although the blood did not stop, after all, it did not hurt the muscles and bones.

Shirley Yang hurriedly took out the medicine and bandaged me: "You are too reckless, do you want to live or equipment?" If the equipment is gone, it's a big deal to let the dust beads be stored in the tomb of the king for a few more days, and it is not child's play to lose his life. ”

I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "What is this little injury, if I don't show Hu someone's methods today, then the American advisory group will say that we are incompetent, right?" ”

The fat man said with a smile: "Lao Hu, what kind of skills do you have these two times, if you can't steal chickens, you will lose a handful of rice, and let the fish take a big bite." Our generals will press the back, and when we get to the tomb of the king, you will all look at the fat man's skills, so that you can open your eyes and know what is outside the mountain. ”

Shirley Yang first used Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding on the back of my hand, then pasted a layer on the outside with hemostatic glue, then wrapped the wound with waterproof tape to prevent water infection and inflammation, and finally gave me a shot of penicillin.

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, I can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and I'm a little faint, we didn't have much of this antibiotic, let's keep it first." ”

Shirley Yang couldn't help but say, let the fat man press me to the ground, and forcibly injected me before I stopped. After measuring the direction, and seeing that the side of the river was barely passable, he put on his equipment and prepared to drive No. 11 and walk out along this underground canal.

As we walked along the river, we saw the scale of the waterway dug for the construction of the king's tomb. I thought that King Xian was a generation of grass-headed emperors separated from the ancient Dian Kingdom, and the scale of his mausoleum would not be too large, but only from the canal through the mountains, this King Xian, who is good at voodoo, is really powerful, and his power is definitely not small, and the scale of the king's tomb in the "Water Dragon Halo" should be far beyond our imagination.

After walking deeper and deeper in the dark cave, and walking for nearly an hour, a section of the river suddenly collapsed, and the gravel slid into the water as soon as it was stepped on, and it seemed that the road could not be further advanced.

We had to find another cave, pass through it, and when we walked for a short time, we heard the rumbling of the water on the opposite side of the mountain wall, but we heard the sound of the water, but there was no way around, so we raised the wolf's eyes, and looked for the way in all directions, this place is a natural lava landform in the mountain, and there are many large and small holes in the large mountain rocks.

I finally found a stone hole that could be drilled by one person, so I dragged my backpack behind me with a climbing rope and drilled through it in order, and finally saw a huge waterfall in the mountain. The place where we got out of the grotto, just below the waterfall, there was another stream of water that joined the river below the waterfall from the opposite side, and when we looked in the direction of the water, there was some light in the distance, as if the exit was over there.

Shirley Yang told me: "This system of water that flows into the waterfall is probably the waterway that the locals discovered during quarrying, and if you look at the landform of the riverbed around here, it won't last more than a few decades." Otherwise, there is this waterway, and there is no need to process the canal in the Shalong Mountain when the tomb of the king is built. ”

I said to Shirley Yang: "This kind of landform is formed by water all year round, and when I was an engineer in the past, I knew a little about it, and in places like this, the entire bottom of the mountain has long been washed into a sieve by countless tributaries of the Lancang River, and in some places the depth of water is even more than hundreds of meters. It is not uncommon for the river to be diverted in the cave, but anyway, it will flow lower and lower, and the rock will be washed down by a piece, and there will be an additional tributary, and if this continues, this mountain will collapse sooner or later. ”

The three of them walked while talking, looking for the bright place and walked over, halfway to see some caves on the high mountain wall, arranged in a rather orderly manner, very like artificially excavated, there are obvious stone steps under the mountain wall, and from time to time on the ground you can see a rotten human dry bones, and some weapons and armor, all of which have rotted out of shape.

The scene here is very much in line with the description of the proprietress in the Caiyun Inn before, it should be that some rebels used this as a base to fight against the official army. Because the items are difficult to preserve in a humid environment, almost all of them have decayed, and it is not easy to identify which dynasty and which generation, looking at the decomposed bones of Cheng dù, as well as the shape of weapons and armor, we can only judge that it may be the early Qing Dynasty.

Although we abandoned the boat and walked at the foot of the Shalong Mountain, each carrying a lot of heavy equipment, we did not feel that it was hard, but this road was many dangers and dangers, and we all wanted to get out of this cave as soon as possible, so we no longer paid attention to the ruins and hurried away.

At the end of the stream, the river was still flowing forward, but it was flowing underground. The cave was much lower than the ground outside the mountain, so we couldn't see the big river in the mountain outside, so we climbed up a rocky slope, and our eyes lit up, and we finally succeeded in crossing the mountain of Shalong.

When I came to the outside, I looked back and saw that I was under the steep cliff and dangerous peak of Shalong Mountain, and the highest place above my head was covered with thick clouds.

Look at the front again, all around are mountains, the middle is getting lower and lower, all are large primeval forests, reckless and green, there are many strange flowers and trees that cannot be named at all, and there are countless ravines and deep valleys, streams and dangerous pools. Some deep valleys can clearly see the grass and flowers in the sun, but the more you look at it, the more unfathomable it feels, and the depth makes people dazzled, while in other places it is cloud-covered and foggy, a hazy and mysterious scenery.

I took out the human skin map and confirmed the path into the Worm Valley.

The fat man raised his binoculars to look at the jungle below, and suddenly grabbed my arm and stuffed the binoculars into my hand: "Sensei flipped through the map, you see there are many big golden butterflies over there, and that valley must be there." ”
