Chapter 380: A Strange Old Man

Inside the mountain, there are many rivers, which is not unusual, and there are many caves in this big mountain. But strangely, in the midst of the rushing water, there was a shrill cry, which was not so much like an animal as a human roaring. Is there a living in it?

And this cry seems to come from a long distance, faintly, as if it were absent. Our nerves tensed.

"Could this be the amphibian's den?" Sister Li's words have actually appeared in our hearts, but as soon as we say it, we still feel a little frightened.

For the combat effectiveness of these amphibious people, we all know that if it is one or two, with Xiao Lei and those three Japanese women, we can still deal with it, but if there are more, we can only die in vain.

"Well, it's probably so, let's put out the flashlights, but if we keep going, even if these amphibious people can't see us, they will smell us, so let's stop here and don't go down? If you continue to go down, it will be too dangerous. ”

What Crazy Six said makes sense, if we continue to go down, we will really be in danger of our lives, last time, those two Japanese women were attacked by amphibious, it may be that we broke into their forbidden area.

Although this withdrawal will make this operation fall short, it is still safety first, and in addition, we are more and more vaguely feeling that these amphibians may have something to do with the blind man.

Just as we hesitated for a moment, suddenly, the screams seemed to get closer to us, could it be that they had already smelled us and chased after us?

"Run, don't hesitate", Maniac Six reminded us, we immediately turned on the flashlight, and ran up the spiral cave desperately.

Xiao Lei could have run the fastest, but he was at the back to make sure that none of us were left behind, and to prevent him from going down if an amphibious man chased after him.

I don't know how long we ran, we were all panting, exhausted, we couldn't run, and then, the screams could not be heard, so we sat on the rocks, gasping for air.

It took about half an hour before I was relieved.

Xiao Lei said that in emergency operations, half an hour is the best time to rest, and excessive rest will make people decline, become lazy, and have sluggish reactions. This cave is full of unknowable dangers, so we are almost rested, and we should continue to walk up and try to get out as soon as possible.

Although we all wanted to rest for a while, what Xiao Lei said was reasonable, and there was nothing to refute, so we had to shake up our spirits immediately and continue to move up.

After the ventilation holes reappeared on the cliff wall, we calmed down a little.

When we returned to the ground, the sun had turned in the west, and the breeze was very pleasant, and we dragged our tired bodies and sat on the stones, and then we rested more relaxedly.

In addition to a sense of relief and relief, there was more of a sense of loss - the operation was not successful, we still did not make it to the bottom of the cliff, and the plan was a complete failure.

Since this road is impassable, we can only use another method, anyway, we have to go down to that mysterious cliff to see, for that mysterious blind man, we must see people in life, and see corpses in death, otherwise we will not be at ease.

Moreover, this cliff itself is too weird, although there are only a few contacts, but that cliff is already a strange thing: the rope will break inexplicably, there will be amphibious people, and there will be green skeletons, etc., what is going on with these weirdness? Does it have anything to do with the tall blind man? What does the bottom of that cliff look like?

These mysteries are not only terrifying, but also have a special magic that can arouse people's strong desire to explore.

Analyzing this operation in detail, Xiao Lei believes that in fact, from the cave in the cliff, it is impossible to reach the bottom of the cliff at all, why? Because at the bottom of the cliff, there is no exit to the cave inside, and we arrive at a position that may have passed the bottom of the cliff and led directly underground.

Estimating from the length of the journey we have traveled and the time it takes, Xiao Lei's judgment is likely to be correct.

Since you can't take a shortcut, use the stupidest way - go around the outside to the bottom of that cliff.

After a night's rest, the next morning, we were back on the move.

We got some maps and analyzed the way down the hill to see which one might lead to the bottom of the cliff.

I looked at it for a long time, but I found nothing, and for some reason, in these maps, even the cliff was not marked. My cousin called the geologist again to get some more information from him, but the geologist said that he had never been to the bottom of the cliff, and that he had only heard from the old medicine farmer that there was a cave in the cliff that led to the bottom.

We synthesized all kinds of information and found that neither Wang Xingguang nor the old medicine farmer had ever been to the bottom of the cliff, they just went into the cave and picked Ganoderma lucidum.

The situation below the cliff has become a fog that is getting thicker and thicker for us.

Since there is no information, we can only grope for it ourselves.

We brought some field gear and set out to go.

Originally, I thought that Crazy Six was so old that he wouldn't let him go again this time, but Crazy Six insisted on going with us, and in these successive actions, his body was not inferior to young people at all, and his experience and mind were no worse than his cousin, and he could always play an irreplaceable role at critical moments.

First of all, we chose the closest path to the cliff, and our principle was to go down as close to the cliff as possible, so that we could always reach the bottom of the cliff.

But the next development of things is far from as simple as we think.

When we walked down, we found that the mountains in this area were very gentle, not steep at all, and we walked along the mountain for several miles, but we could look at the altitude measuring instrument we carried, and found that the altitude had not dropped much.

This is a headache for us, because the steeper the terrain, the more difficult it is to walk, but the faster we can get to the bottom of the cliff, and after going down, it will not be too far from the bottom of the cliff.

But the more gentle the slope, the more we walked to the bottom of the cliff, the longer it took us, and even after we went down, the farther away from the bottom of the cliff.

What makes us even more panicked is that our compass is not accurate, which shows that the stones in this area are magnetic, which leads to the magnetic field disorder.

After a whole day's walk, there were about dozens of miles of mountain roads, but we felt that in the horizontal direction, we were already far from the position of the cliff.

It wasn't until dark that we chose a relatively flat and sheltered place away from rivers and rivers, and set up tents for the night. Xiao Lei has received strict field training, so we are particularly relieved for wild camping and the like.

Xiao Lei said that it is the rainy season, and you must not be next to rivers and rivers when camping, because when it rains heavily, these places will form flash floods in a short period of time, and if you camp in these places, you are likely to be washed away, and what is more terrible is that you may even encounter mudslides.

Fortunately, he thought so thoughtfully, in the middle of the night, suddenly lightning and thunder, it rained heavily outside the tent, and we could even hear the rumbling sound of water next to us, but the terrain we chose was better, and everything was safe and sound.

Until the next morning, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the air after the rain was fresh and sweet. The green grass and trees in the mountains have also been washed away by the rain.

Our originally gloomy mood is also excited in this vibrant environment.

But it was also this heavy rain that gave us unexpected gains.

As we were walking down the mountain path, we suddenly saw an old man with white hair not far in front of us, pushing a few stones with a wheelbarrow and pushing them up the slope with difficulty.

And the wheelbarrow is still a wooden wheel, which is really rare, I can't imagine that there is still such a wooden wheelbarrow, and there are still people using it.

Because it happened to be a small slope, and the old man was probably too old to have so much strength, although he hunched his body and gritted his teeth, desperately trying to push the wheelbarrow up, but the wheelbarrow only swayed, and did not go up.

Xiao Lei and I hurriedly walked over, grabbed one side of the wheelbarrow, and without much effort, helped the old man push the wheelbarrow up the hillside.

After going up, the old man thanked us again and again, and took out a watermelon from the shade of the tree next to us and cut it for us to eat.

In the past two days, I have walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and I have not met a person, but I did not expect to meet an old man here, and I just asked him about the situation of the cliff.

But when we heard us mention the cliff, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he asked us with a look of fear and unusually nervousness, "What are you going to do under that cliff?" I see that you are all good people, and I advise you that it is better not to go to that place. ”

After that, he stopped talking, turned and silently carried the stone from the wheelbarrow. Xiao Lei and I hurriedly ran over to help, the old man's reaction aroused our curiosity, seeing that he was unwilling to say, we were not in a hurry to ask.

The two of us picked up the stone, followed the old man, turned the corner, and put the stone on the ground like the old man, but when we stood up and saw the stone wall in front of us, we couldn't help but be stunned!

On the stone wall, there is a half-human high hole, and the water flowing out of the cave mouth, there is a faint red, and the water is slightly fishy, seeing this color, smelling this smell, Xiao Lei and I glanced at each other, although we didn't speak to each other, but we all had the same thought in our hearts - the red in this water, is it blood!

The old man turned around, only sighed slightly, and ignored the two of us, but continued to move the stones.

The two of us were stunned for a moment, and then we took a closer look at the water that flowed out, there was obvious red in the water, and the smell was indeed bloody, how could such water flow out of this hole? Could it be that many people or animals were killed in it?

Also, when we inquired about the situation of the cliff, why was the old man's attitude so strange, and what was going on with this qiē?
