Chapter 416: Strange Terrain
What's even more strange is that when we listen closely, it seems that not only the fox's scream, but also a low rustling sound from its body, and the madman six whispers to us that the rustling sound is made by those watered red hairs, "hairworms", and one of the things that "hairworms" are most afraid of is boiling water.
In the light of the flashlight, we found that the red fox was not only very large, but its face was also very different from the dead one - this fox's face was very flat, a bit like a monkey's face, but compared to the face of the "monkey eagle", it was not so similar.
In addition, this fox also has a goatee, which looks very weird, like an old man, doused with boiling water, it is in pain at this time, its expression is distorted, and it is rolling and spinning, at this time, the madman said to Xiao Lei in a loud voice: "Catch this fox, it will be of great use to us." ”
Xiao Lei immediately rushed over, and the fox, as if he also understood the six words of the madman, knew that he was in danger, so he screamed, gathered all his strength, rubbed it, and jumped into the depths of the hole.
Xiao Lei once told me that the most effective way to catch a fox or rabbit with bare hands is to slam it on the head and stun it first, otherwise no matter what part you scratch them, it will desperately scratch and bite you, and once they scratch and bite, although it is a skin trauma, but their mouths and claws often carry a variety of deadly bacteria, such as tetanus bacteria, or rabies virus, which is very dangerous to people.
If I didn't listen to Xiao Lei, I thought that only dogs could carry the rabies virus.
And when the fox fled to the depths of the hole, I stood in that position, and when I saw the fox rushing violently, I panicked, and quickly hid to the side, so that the fox could escape.
The madman six saw the fox escape, and sighed regretfully, which made me feel guilty, if only Xiao Lei stood in my position.
Madman Six suddenly said next to him: "The big fox that escaped just now may be the fox king."
"The Fox King? Is this the leader of this group of foxes? "Hearing Madman Six say this, I can't help but think of the "Monkey King", "Wolf King" and the like, among these social animals, there is usually a leader.
Unexpectedly, the madman six shook his head: "This is not a wild fox, in fact, there is no leader, the fox king I am talking about is similar to the meaning of 'queen bee', it has a strong reproductive ability, but its intelligence should be higher than that of ordinary foxes, and it is still a female fox."
What the? It's a female fox, and the goatee under its jaw makes us mistake it for a male fox, but we didn't expect it to be a female.
Maniac Six further explained that all the red foxes, probably only this big red fox, had the ability to reproduce, and none of the other red foxes had it.
So since this is the case, why did Lao Li put this fox into the cliff? Also, why does this fox suddenly laugh wildly? For us, these questions are not yet solved.
The old man Ouyang next to him suddenly shouted, as if he remembered something: "By the way, do you remember the fox I met in the heavy rain?" I told you that the fox was not only red-haired, but also had a human face, and was ready to attack me, but fortunately the 'monkey eagle' saved me at that time, and when I saw this fox, I suddenly remembered that the fox with a human face was probably this one. ”
After being reminded by Old Man Ouyang, we all suddenly remembered - yes, when Old Man Ouyang disappeared in the early morning, he did encounter a "red-haired fox with a human face" on the hillside, and it was still very large, these characteristics were consistent with the fox just now, and it was probably the same one.
It's just that Old Man Ouyang didn't see the "goatee" at that time, but this is also very understandable - it was a thunderstorm night, and the light was not good, but it was definitely not so clear by the fleeting lightning.
We searched a few more places, but we still didn't find Lao Li. This raid was almost nothing, but if the fox just caught just now, I'm afraid it would be different.
Just when we were a little discouraged and wanted to leave, suddenly, Crazy Six took a flashlight and looked at the hole in the stone wall that the fox had drilled.
The hole is not big, just enough for the fox to come out, in the light of the flashlight, there is no end to the black hole inside, he shouted at the hole again, from the echo from the hole, it seems very empty, it can be seen that the hole in the stone wall, should be connected to a deep cave.
Xiao Lei stood up straight and said leisurely: "Since the inside of this cave is so long, why don't we hide in it when we use boiling water to pour it?" It may be that he was poured boiling water, panicked, panicked, and then rushed out; Or maybe there is something behind this kind of fox that blocks it, so that it can't hide inside, so it can only struggle to push the stone plug away and come out of the hole. ”
We didn't expect that there would be such a "hole in a hole" in this small hole, and we really didn't know where this hole would lead.
Madman Six then pulled out a match and placed it near the entrance of the cave, and we saw that the flame of the match began to shake.
"The small cave on this stone wall should lead to the outside, so that a cool breeze can come over", listening to Xiao Lei say this, I also hurriedly put my face close to the entrance of the cave, and felt it carefully, sure enough, there was a gentle cool breeze blowing.
At this moment, suddenly, a smell wafted out from the entrance of the cave, and the moment I smelled that smell, I exclaimed in my heart, "Oh no, it's 'Ninja Incense'", and before I could react, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I didn't know where I was, I just felt that it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, and I panicked in my heart, in the past, no matter what danger we encountered, we were all together, never separated, but now, I can neither see their figures nor hear their voices.
I opened my mouth to shout, but I didn't, and I didn't know much about my surroundings, so if I shouted so rashly, I could be dangerous.
I listened quietly, and there was no sound around me except the sound of ticking, and the sound of ticking was supposed to be the sound of dripping water, and the stench that came from me reminded me that I was still in the cave.
At this time, what I want to find most is a few of them, Xiao Lei once told me that the more dangerous I am, the more calm I must be, and try to figure out the surrounding environment. So, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
At this time, I touched the surroundings with my hands, and felt that I should be in a narrow cave, even kneeling up, my head would touch the roof of the cave, if I wanted to go forward or backward, I could only climb, and after knowing the environment I was in, a violent fear and depression almost made me completely desperate - such a narrow cave was simply a living coffin! Am I going to die here?
"Xiao Lei, where are you?" I couldn't help but cry out, how I wished I could hear their answers, but what scared me the most happened: there was still a dead silence around me, and there was no sound.
"Xiao Lei, Sister Li, Hongmei, where are you?"
The shouts echoed through the enclosed space, and the voices became very loud, but there was still no response. It made me more and more panicked, more and more frightened, and I couldn't help but shout louder and louder, and at last I became hoarse, but it still didn't work. Where have they gone? What happened after I fell asleep?
I don't know how long I shouted, but I couldn't make a sound until my voice was hoarse. At the end of the day, I lay there exhausted, and after anxiety, despair, and pain, my mood calmed down a lot.
I secretly said to myself in my heart: "Calm, calm, the more desperate you are, the more you must have a positive attitude, don't give up", which is also what Xiao Lei usually teaches me.
When I was calmer, I suddenly noticed that a cool breeze was blowing from the direction in front of me, and I was excited: in the cave, I could find an exit from two things - one was flowing water, and the other was the direction of the wind; Follow the direction of the flowing water, and the direction of the wind blowing, you can find the exit.
Of course, this is also taught by Xiao Lei.
So, I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly climbed forward, and the more I climbed, the stronger the wind became, and I don't know how long I climbed, and I didn't know how many turns, and suddenly, I felt that the tunnel was no longer flat, but began to slope downward, and the further forward, the more it leaned.
At the end of the day, I had to hold on to the stone walls on both sides to keep my body from slipping forward, and at this time, I had no strength to retreat.
I can't go back, I can't climb forward, I am once again facing a desperate situation.
Judging from the whirring wind from below, this pit should lead to a deep place, and if I fall, I may fall to pieces. Once again, I despaired, and for the first time, I felt so close to death.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a little light in front of me, and there was a ** shout: "Xiao Ming, Sister Li, Hongmei, and Miss Xiao Yezhizi, where are you?" ”。
It's Xiao Lei shouting!
Hearing Xiao Lei's voice, I was like taking a stimulant, every cell in my body was excited, and I wanted to answer Xiao Lei immediately, but I opened my mouth a few times, but I couldn't make a sound, and then I thought that I was too emotional just now, so that I shouted to lose my voice, which is good, but at the critical moment, I couldn't make a sound, and I couldn't make a sound, Xiao Lei couldn't determine my location, what should I do, I instantly sweated.
Not only could I not make a sound, but I also couldn't move my hands and feet, because if I moved my hands and feet slightly, I could slide down this sloping pit into the abyss below.
Suddenly, I was in a hurry, and I quickly curled my tongue, pursed my lips, and blew a sharp whistle.
Xiao Lei is very familiar with my whistle, because once I whistled this kind of whistle, which was heard by Xiao Lei, he was particularly interested, because he felt that my whistle was particularly loud, the frequency was also very high, and it could be transmitted far away, which was a very good way to contact me, therefore, he also talked to me how to blow this kind of whistle, but he always blew not as loud as me, and after the worst, he summed up the reason and said that the size of this whistle sound may be related to the mouth shape and tongue shape, so no matter how he practiced, he could not compare to me.
Finally, there is one thing that can beat Xiao Lei, at that time, I was still proud for a while. I didn't expect this kind of whistle to come in handy at this time.
Sure enough, when Xiao Lei heard my whistle, he immediately recognized that it was me, so he used a strong flashlight to shine it on me. Under the light of the flashlight, I could see the terrain in front of me clearly.
And stunned by such strange terrain!
