Chapter 88: The Giant Salamander
Everyone glanced at each other, and all of them showed blank expressions on their faces.
Huang Yixian asked in a daze: "Boss Wen, what do you mean by saying that the baby fish showed us a way out?" ”
Wen Qingshan explained: "The salamander generally lives in clear and turbulent mountain streams, and judging from its deep body color, it must also be due to its long-term habitat in the wild, which means that this underground dark lake must be connected to the outside water system, so I was thinking that if we follow the direction of the water, maybe we can find a new outlet." ”
When everyone heard that it was possible to find an exit, they immediately came to their senses, but when they looked at it, they were dumbfounded, and there was a large underground lake in front of them, and they couldn't tell which direction the water was flowing.
The cheap raised his head and sighed: "The outlet connected to the outside water system may be under the water, when will I find it......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, I turned my head to see that he was raising his head, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were round, as if he had been immobilized.
I subconsciously looked up, and I was suddenly speechless, only to see that on the top of the cave more than ten meters high, there was a large black pressed bat.
The others also found a swarm of bats all over the roof of the cave, and they were all shocked, and after a while, Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "The bats will definitely fly out to feed, so there must be other exits to this cave, let's quickly look for it." ”
I looked at these bats, and suddenly thought of the Flying Bat Rock that Bai Xiaowu said, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Wen, do you think this is the Flying Bat Rock?" ”
Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned at first, and then patted his head: "Why didn't I think of it!" That's right, this must be Flying Manta Rock! It turns out that the flying bat rock and the ** rock are interconnected karst caves. ”
Knowing that it was very likely to be Flying Bat Rock, everyone was relieved, at least they didn't have to worry about being trapped in it. Huang Yixian said: "In that case, then let's just explore this flying bat rock." ”
Since our clothes were soaked, and there was water everywhere underneath, we were afraid that we would inevitably have to drip water, so we simply took off our clothes, changed into wetsuits, and walked along the cave wall.
After walking not far, Wen Qingshan at the front suddenly stopped, he seemed to have found something, bent down, and carefully examined the ground.
We tilted our heads over curiously, and when we looked at it, we couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw that on a dry stone, there were two rows of footprints, the footprints were almost the size of an adult's feet, the distance between the two rows of footprints was a meter and a half wide, and there was a water stain in the middle, which looked like some kind of large animal left.
"This ...... What kind of animal is this? ”
Wen Qingshan said: "It looks like it was left by a baby fish." ”
"What!?" Everyone shouted almost in unison, how big a baby fish must be to leave such a big footprint.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "The baby fish has a fierce temperament, and it is also known as the dogfish among the people, its teeth are sharp and dense, and it often dives underwater to ambush its prey, such a large individual, I am afraid that it will threaten us." Therefore, if you are walking in the water, you must be more careful. ”
As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly and quietly took the fish intestine sword out of my backpack and held it tightly in my hand. Huang Yixian and Cheap also took out a sharp axe from their backpacks.
We continued to walk forward, and soon, the land came to an end, and we had to drip, because Wen Qingshan said that there might be a giant baby fish hiding under the water that would ambush people, and everyone was a little afraid, and no one dared to enter the water easily. Fortunately, the lake water is still quite clear, and we can see the situation at the bottom of the lake at a glance, and we took a closer look with the light from the miner's lamp, and there was no trace of the giant baby fish, but at a distance of two meters from us, there were a few white fish about half a foot long swimming around.
Seeing this, Wen Qingshan's tightly locked brows stretched, and said, "The front should be safe, let's go!" "He stepped into the water first, and we all followed him and got into the water carefully.
The water wasn't that deep, and it didn't reach our thighs, but everyone was very careful for fear that something would suddenly pop out.
As we walked forward, the water became deeper and deeper, gradually reaching the position of our waist and abdomen, and everyone held on to the cave wall with one hand and walked slowly in the water.
As we walked, Seabeard, who was walking in front of me, suddenly let out a loud scream, and before we could react to what was going on, his body seemed to be jerked by something, and he sank into the water in an instant.
Everyone was taken aback, and I quickly looked down into the water, so scared that I almost didn't jump out of the water. In the water, an incomparably huge salamander peeked out of a hidden crack in the rock, and was biting one of Seabeard's thighs with its huge mouth and dragging it into the crack.
Seabeard struggled desperately, bubbles constantly bulging out of his mouth, apparently choking on the water.
After I reacted, I couldn't be afraid, and hurriedly stabbed the huge head of the baby fish with the fish intestine sword in my hand.
The incomparably sharp gut sword pierced the roof of the baby fish's jaw, but it did not let go, and still bit Seabeard's thigh and dragged it into the crack in the stone.
Huang Yixian and the cheap hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Seabeard's body and dragged him up, but they couldn't pull him out of the water, but a lot of blood came out of his thigh that was bitten by the baby fish, and the lake was dyed red in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "The mouth of the baby fish is full of sharp teeth, don't drag him!" Hurry up and help him put on the oxygen mask, and I'll figure out how to deal with the baby fish!" After saying that, he immediately put on an oxygen mask and bent down into the water, and Huang Yixian and the cheap hurriedly helped Seabeard put on the oxygen mask to prevent him from suffocating from choking underwater.
I didn't know what Wen Qingshan was going to do, but most of the body of the baby fish had already burrowed into the cracks in the stones, and I couldn't stab it with the fish intestine sword anymore, so I quickly put on an oxygen mask and dived into the water.
Because Seabeard's leg was bleeding a lot, and the water was a little muddy, I vaguely saw the huge body of the baby fish, and before I had time to think about it, I immediately stabbed it with the fish intestine sword in my hand. The salamander shuddered, but as if it had decided that Seabeard was its prey, it did not let go, but dragged Seabeard harder into the cracks in the rocks.
Just as I felt helpless, a dazzling fire flickered in the water, and then the salamander struggled desperately, let go of its mouth, and quickly retreated into the cracks in the stone. I raised my eyes and saw that Wen Qingshan was holding the flare gun in his hand, and I immediately understood that it was Wen Qingshan who used the flare gun to repel the giant baby fish and save Seabeard's life.
Huang Yixian and the cheap took the opportunity to pull Seabeard out of the water, and Wen Qingshan and I also immediately got out of the water.
As I walked, I looked back from time to time, for fear that the monster would kill again.
Fortunately, they had not gone far, and at last they saw another piece of land, and everyone hurried to the shore and walked a few more steps, until they were far away from the lake.
Everyone sat on the ground, frightened. Seabeard let out a groan of pain, Wen Qingshan stepped forward and tore his pants open, I looked at his thighs, only to see that there were several wounds, blood was flowing from one wound after another, it looked like someone had been shot with a shotgun.
"Help him stop the bleeding!" Huang Yixian said, immediately opened his backpack and took out a large package of white powder from it, Wen Qingshan saw this, and asked in some surprise: "Master Huang, where did you get such a large package of Yunnan Baiyao?" ”
Huang Yixian said with a smile: "Hehe, where did I get so much Yunnan Baiyao, it's just glutinous rice flour, but the hemostasis effect is excellent!" After saying that, he immediately grabbed a handful of glutinous rice flour and sprinkled it on Seabeard's thigh.
After a while, there was no more blood flowing from the wound on Seabeard's leg, and Wen Qingshan took out a bundle of gauze from his backpack and helped him bandage the wound briefly. Then he tried to get up and walked forward, although he was limping, but he could still walk, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the teeth of the baby fish were sharp, but they were not very long, and they did not hurt their muscles and bones.
However, after the tossing just now, coupled with the extreme nervousness, everyone was already tired, so they decided to sit down and rest for a while before continuing to walk.
Wen Qingshan returned the flare gun to Seabeard and said, "Do you still have bullets, this thing is not bad, it can come in handy at a critical moment!" Don't get rid of it again. "It turned out that when Seabeard was dragged into the water by the giant baby fish just now, the flare gun fell off his hand and fell to the bottom of the water, Wen Qingshan dived into the water and found the flare gun, so he picked it up and fired a shot at the monster's mouth, which made it loosen.
Seabeard opened his backpack and took out a delicate tin box from it, only to see that there was a thing that looked like a No. 5 battery inside.
"There's only one bullet left!" As he spoke, he took the bullet out and slipped it into the flare gun.
At this moment, the cheap suddenly shouted, "Look what that is!" ”
Everyone thought that he had found some monster, and they were very nervous, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction he pointed, only to see that on the water not far from the shore, there was a long, transparent object floating, which looked like a transparent plastic film.
Out of curiosity, Wen Qingshan walked over, fished the thing out of the water, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, suddenly, he seemed to have found something, and his face changed greatly.
