Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Beaded Curtain
There are many dangers in the dark cave, and if you continue to stay here, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, so I beckoned to everyone and said, "Don't look at it, this is just an unexpected episode, everyone hurry up and continue to search for people." ”
Although my words seem to be very lighthearted, anyone who is intelligent can see the potential dangers in the dark cave. If you want to find someone here, it is definitely not easier than in a tomb with many organs, and you must also raise your spirit and be vigilant at all times.
After listening to my speech, the fifth master didn't say anything, and took the lead in holding a flashlight to open the way.
The fat man came up to me and asked, "Are you alright?" ”
I clutched my stomach and nodded, "It's just that the ribs have been hit, walk slowly, and it shouldn't be a problem if you don't run fast, you don't have to worry." ”
I walked very slowly because of the pain in my ribs, and I fell at the back of the line with the fat man.
The fat man has a big heart, and he will never keep it overnight if he has something in his stomach, if he wants to say something, he will not look at his face at all, he heard me say that it was okay, but his expression was very solemn, so he asked me: "Lao Zheng, you tell me the truth, is there a monster in this cave?" ”
After listening to this, I hurriedly looked around, and saw that many people were looking at me, and obviously heard the fat man's question. I immediately pulled the corners of my mouth and said with a smile: "We are great proletarian revolutionary youths, how can we believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this wonderful world. Besides, with the skills of our people. Don't be afraid of little ghosts. ”
The fat man wanted to say something after listening to me, and I wanted to reach out and cover his troublesome mouth. The heart said: Dead fat man, now in a dark and weird cave, the enemy and I don't know, I have to pick this time to shake the heart of the army, in case Kun Ba coaxes his subordinates to turn against us, when the time comes, the fifth master and the two of us will be left. If the person is weak, it will be difficult to control the scene.
As a result, before the fat man's next words could be spoken, there was a riot in the front ranks. I immediately glared at the fat man complainingly, and said in my heart: Could it be a real riot?
I was so distraught that I hurriedly covered my stomach with one hand and pushed away the crowd with the other. I was constantly thinking about various countermeasures to deal with the turmoil. I hurriedly squeezed forward, still praying in my heart that there would be no turmoil.
After squeezing through the crowd, I realized that the cause of the riot was not a riot, but that there was no road ahead, and there was a cave at the end, but this cave was very different from the caves I had seen along the way.
The entrance to the cave in front of me is very wide, about one zhang high. Three zhang more than wide. At the entrance of the cave hangs a very strange-looking oversized white beaded curtain.
As I walked towards the entrance of the cave in the distance, I looked at the white beaded curtain and said, "Inside the dark and treacherous cave." How could there be such a thing?
When I got closer, I found that the door of the cave was not hung with beaded curtains, but strings of white brand new cocoon chrysalis, cocoon chrysalis were worn into a string of threes and threes, and strings of silkworm cocoons were hung horizontally and neatly at the entrance of the cave, and from a distance, it looked like a white beaded door curtain. Looking up at these countless cocoons of different sizes at the mouth of the cave, my spine was cold, and I sighed coldly: The terrifying scene here is beyond my imagination, and this white beaded curtain is completely an art that can only be appreciated by demons.
There was a cacophony of discussion behind me, and I heard someone ask, "Why don't these cocoon chrysalis hang in the burrow, but hang at the mouth of the cave?" ”
The person next to him just guessed and replied, "Maybe it's already full, so I have to hang it here at the entrance of the cave?" "Isn't this the warehouse where the monsters store food?"
When everyone heard this, they all felt a chill rush over their scalps, and they couldn't help but shiver, and they all involuntarily retreated backwards, away from this terrifying and strange cave.
Just looking at the number of cocoons on this huge beaded curtain, it already feels very amazing, if the cave behind it is full of cocoons made of hunted prey, then the number must be more than 10,000. And so on, the number of monsters that inhabit here is not as staggering as it is beyond imagination.
If we are attacked by them in the intricate underground caverns, we are defenseless, and we can no doubt only be butchers and fish, and completely slaughtered by others. Just thinking about it already makes people shudder.
I'm not at all interested in the cave behind the curtain of the weird cocoon chrysalis, I don't want to know what's inside, what it will look like? I just want to leave this treacherous place at once.
I anxiously said to the fifth master beside me: "Fifth brother, let's find another way out and leave here as much as possible!" With that, he wanted to turn around and leave here. In this treacherous place, I can't stand it anymore.
But at this time, Kun Ba, who was standing near the beaded curtain, suddenly spoke: "Fifth master, I think that this curtain is the same thing, and it may be useful for it, that is, it is the same purpose as the curtain we usually hang at the door to shelter from the wind and rain. This group of caves crisscrossing the ground is obviously where some creatures living underground live, and this curtain is the shelter they use to cover the entrance to the cave, as long as we pass through here, we may be able to reach the surface and leave here. ”
I don't know if Kun Ba's words are true, or if he used his crooked brain to play some kind of ghost idea? However, he must also want to get out of this strange underground cavern as much as possible. And after he expressed his opinion, many people felt that it was very reasonable and agreed with it.
Kun Ba's speech seemed reasonable, and I was somewhat shaken by his remarks, and the fifth master looked at me, and saw that I didn't refute it out loud, thinking that I was acquiescing, so he nodded and said "yes".
The wood was already in the boat, and I couldn't refute it anymore, and I continued to shuttle through the dark underground caverns, and I didn't know the bottom of my heart. Human beings are born with inexplicable fear and fear of the unknown darkness, I dare not imagine that when we run out of power to the flashlight, and then continue to shuttle through the endless underground caves, in the face of the deep darkness and countless unknown mysteries in the cave, whether our group of people can continue to maintain confidence and hope.
And in the current situation, Kunba's statement is the most reasonable, and there is no reason to refuse. Immediately passing through the huge white beaded curtain, it was already a sure thing.
Now, having decided to leave through the white beaded curtain, all that remains is to figure out how to get through the sticky cocoon chrysalis and get out of here safely.
The strings of white cocoon chrysalis hanging at the entrance of the cave are almost all intact and new and reflect the light, and after touching it, it is found that it is completely different from the old and damaged cocoon chrysalis that I have seen before, and it is very sticky, and once touched, it will be sticky, and it is difficult to get out.
The gap between the cocoon chrysalis is only about the thickness of a wrist, and the thin one can only pass through one finger, and some are even stuck to each other, and it is completely impossible to pass through the sticky cocoon chrysalis.
When someone mentioned that they were set on fire to burn these cocoons, I immediately shook my head and said, "Some spider silk is very heat-resistant and can withstand fire." Even if the cocoons can be lit, there are no fire prevention facilities around us, and if a fire burns brightly, even if we don't choke to death by the smoke, we will be forced to suffocate by burning out the air near the cave. In case, the burning temperature is too high, it is easy to cause the cave to collapse and bury us alive. ”
After hearing this, the fat man immediately said excitedly: "This is not good, that is not good, you have an idea!" ”
I looked at the white beaded curtain and said to the fat man, "The solution is all made up by people, since we just want to get through here, then just get the cocoon chrysalis off." ”
The fat man looked at me disdainfully and said, "It's easy to say, how do you get it?" ”
I looked at the top of the strings of cocooned chrysalis, all firmly glued to the top of the cave, and there was no way to separate them, so it seemed that there was no other way to separate them.
I thought to myself: since there is no way from above, then start from below, there will always be a way to get through here.
So I immediately bent down and looked down at the bottom of the beaded cocoon, and saw that some of the cocoons were a few inches from the ground.
I crouched down, then pointed to the gap between the chrysalis and the ground, and said, "Since you can't get it down, then carry them up." ”
After saying that, I immediately ordered everyone to take off their coats, but everyone did not understand my method, and they all looked at each other, and stood still for unknown reasons.
I saw that everyone was indifferent, so I anxiously urged, "Why are you standing stupidly?" Quickly took off his coat, wrapped the cocoon chrysalis at the bottom, and then lifted them up, so that everyone could get through. ”
After listening to me, everyone finally understood what it meant, so they began to take off their coats one after another.
I found a place where the cocoons hung loosely, and then ordered someone to completely wrap my clothes around my hands and lift the three cocoon chrysalis next to each other.
I had the idea, and I should have carried it out, so I had to take the lead and lie on the ground, crawling through the chrysalis of the cocoon, while the others followed my lead and lay on the ground, ready to climb behind me through the beaded curtain.
I crawled forward on the very wet and muddy ground, and after a few crawls, my body passed through the beaded curtain above. So I got up from the ground and patted the dirt stuck to my body.
The moment I raised my head, I felt a warm current of moisture rushing towards me, and I hurriedly raised my flashlight and looked ahead.
But I was so shocked by what I saw in front of me that I almost dropped my chin to my chest. Standing like a wooden chicken, I couldn't speak for a long time! (To be continued......)
