Chapter 19: The Cave with Iron Chains

So that's how it was now, so we threw the rope down again and waited.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, we really couldn't sit still, Lantern Xiao decided to go down and have a look by herself, but was stopped by Anado, "I used to climb with Abba to collect medicine, when it comes to this climbing ability, I'm not bragging, you two are far worse than me." I'll go for it! ”

I disagreed with Lantern Xiao, and Lantern Xiao said: "Then how can you do it, how can we two big men let you go on an adventure as a woman!" ”

"Women?" Anado was obviously unconvinced, "What's wrong with the woman?" Tell me, since entering the mountain, apart from your boss, who of the three of us is more embarrassed? As she spoke, Anador looked at us with disdain, "One almost fell unconscious, and the other was almost bitten by a lizard, what's wrong with the man?" And the face to talk about! ”

The two of us were trained by Anado, our faces were red and white for a while, and we were unhappy but helpless to tell the truth.

In the end, Lantern Xiao had to agree, "Grandma, we were wrong, you go, you go, okay!" ”

Anador nodded, pulled the rope up from underneath and tied it around her waist. Then, in a similar way as Wenmo, he slid down and swung into the hole.

Seeing Anador enter the cave, Lantern Xiao and I had to continue to wait boringly.

As the minutes passed, Lantern Xiao and I lay on the edge of the cliff on the riverbank, looking forward to the echo in the cave, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out. We quickly grabbed the rope and pulled it up, and suddenly felt the rope loosen.

Unexpectedly, Anado also untied the rope, what is the situation? Why did the two of them go in without saying a word?? Or is there something strange about it?

I discussed it with Lantern Xiao, but nothing came of it. Finally, Lantern Xiao slapped his thigh, "I'm still thinking about a fart, let's go down directly!" ”

"Good!" As he spoke, I was about to hang a rope around my waist, but Lantern Xiao stopped me, "I'd better go first!" ”

"Why?" I looked at the Lantern Festival in confusion.

Lantern Xiao smiled, "Didn't you listen to Anado, my skills are better than yours!" The situation below is unknown, so I'll do it. ”

"Fuck off, uncle!" I pushed Lantern Xiao aside, "She's polite to you, you can't hear it!" "I know that Lantern Festival is well-intentioned. Usually Wenmo walks in front, that's no way, after all, people are too strong, but I can't always let Lantern Festival rush in front of me everywhere.

Lantern Xiao patted me on the shoulder, "Then you be careful, don't rush in first, don't untie the rope, if there is any problem, jump out directly, and I will pull you up!" ”

I nodded, walked to the edge of the cliff, put on my gloves and grabbed the rope, I couldn't be as agile as Wenmo, and I couldn't be as dexterous as Anadot, I could only climb down little by little.

As I descended, there was more and more moss on the cliff wall, and I deliberately came to the place where we had just seen the footprints, and took a closer look, and the shoe size seemed to be similar to the second uncle, but I really couldn't see the footprints of the second uncle at this time.

I continued down the moss, and the sound of water was getting louder and louder below me, and some of the splashes that hit the stone walls were even hitting my face.

Slowly I came to the top of the cave, and I looked down at my feet, and some of the rushing water of the Caibu River flowed from here. The river was churning, and the dark cavern made a strange roar that made people shudder.

I lay on top of the cave entrance, a little hesitant. Lantern Xiao poked her head out of it and asked loudly, "Hey, Zhuo Ran, how is it?" You okay! ”

I waved my hand at him, "It's okay! After saying that, I secretly scolded myself for being cowardly, Anado is a girl, and I hesitated here. I took out the flashlight in my bag, hung it on my wrist, then took a deep breath, kicked my legs back hard, and my body slid down sharply, and with the reverberation of the rope, I entered the hole at once.

I just felt a sudden darkness in front of my eyes, and I immediately turned on the flashlight. But the moment I turned on the flashlight, I saw a dark shadow appear in front of me, and I was about to crash into it. As soon as my scalp tightened, I subconsciously stretched out my hand to block it, but when my hand was about to touch the top of this thing, I suddenly saw that this black thing was an iron chain, as if it was hanging from the roof of the cave.

Seeing that I was about to be swung back by the rope again, I didn't think much about it, but reached out and grabbed the chain and stabilized my body.

I grabbed the chain and hung it in the hole, held up my flashlight and looked around, and realized that it wasn't just my hand. There are also a lot of iron cables hanging from the roof of the cave.

Just now, I was a little strange how Wenmo and Anador landed smoothly when they grabbed the rope and swung in. Now I understand that they must be the same as me, with the help of these chains.

I looked down and saw the water rushing down the Caibu River. And I was surprised to find that a passage had been dug into the cave wall for one person to pass. With the help of the iron chain hanging from the top of the cave, I slowly climbed over, and stood on the narrow passage, listening to the rushing of the river at my feet, and I suddenly felt a little uneasy. Only the rope around my waist gives me some security, I really don't understand why Wenmo and Anador want to untie it.

I held up my flashlight and looked around, hoping to find no trace of the two of them, but found nothing. I couldn't help but be puzzled and a little worried, and I shouted softly: "Wenmo! Sister! Are you there? "I asked a few times, but no one spoke.

At this moment, under the shaking of the flashlight, I saw something bright on the ground not far ahead. I shone my flashlight straight through it, only to find that there was a hook knife on the ground.

"This, this is Anado's knife." I muttered in my heart, and I couldn't help but walk over and bend down to pick it up, but when I was just two steps away from the hook knife, the rope buckle on my waist suddenly pulled me. It seems that this is the limit of the rope length. I bent down and tried my best to reach the knife, only to find that I was still a dozen centimeters away from the hook knife even with my arm.

I stood up again helplessly, and I couldn't help but guess in my heart, could it be that Anador untied it because the hook knife fell off and the rope couldn't reach it?

But it's not right to think about it, since the rope is untied, why don't you pick up the knife, is there something that makes her have no time to pick up the knife at all?

I wondered how I wanted to pick up the hook knife that Anadot had left behind, but I didn't want to untie the rope. So he turned his head to see if the rope behind him was still stretched.

At this time, I suddenly noticed that there were many small red lights on the roof of the cave from nowhere.

I was stunned at first glance, but when I saw the rows of little red lights moving, my heart immediately jumped.

I quickly raised my flashlight and shone it upwards, because the roof of the cave was very high, and the penetration of my flashlight was not strong, I couldn't see what the rows of little red lights were, but one thing I was sure of was that they were all alive!

Each of these little red lights was about a foot long, and they were crawling rapidly on the roof of the cave. Some have even begun to climb down these cables.

I stood aside and watched as these "little red lights" moved on the chains, and there were them on almost every chain. It reminds me of the neon signs hanging from the trees on the roadside in the city, which should be very beautiful to say.

But at this time, I didn't have time to appreciate it, because these "little red lights" not only climbed onto the chain, but some of them had even climbed onto my rope, and were now approaching me along the rope. This scene made my scalp numb in an instant.

I tried to run, but as soon as I took a step, I noticed that I still had a rope tied around my waist. I didn't want to, and immediately reached out in a panic to untie it, I now understand why Anador and Wenmo untied the rope, they were obviously in the same situation as me.

The moment I untied the rope, the nearest "little red light" was less than half a meter away from my body. This time, I saw clearly that these "little red lights" were actually small snakes with red fluorescent lights on their backs. At this time, there were many such small snakes on the roof of the cave and on the iron cables, almost hundreds.

I got goosebumps all over my body, threw down the rope, picked up Anado's hook, and ran into the cave.

But I had just run a few steps, and suddenly a hand reached out from the side and pulled me over, and I was startled and just wanted to open my mouth to scream, but my mouth was immediately covered. At the same time, my flashlight was turned off, and a voice said in my ear: "Don't speak, it's us!" ”

I could hear it, it was Anado's voice, she said we, apparently it was Wenmo who covered my mouth just now. I nodded slightly, and then the hand that covered my mouth slowly took it down.

I lowered my voice and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Before I finished speaking, Wen Mo on the side immediately shushed and signaled me to be quiet. I knew something was wrong, so I didn't dare not listen, so I shut up immediately. Then, Lantern Xiao reached out and turned my head in one direction, and I knew he meant to make me want to look in that direction.

But I looked intently for a while, but I didn't see anything. Then Wenmo turned my head to the position of the iron cable just now. Since the place was close to the entrance of the cave, the light from the outside could faintly shine there, so I could see the little snakes still crawling.

I still don't understand what Wenmo asked me to see the first time, I couldn't help but turn my head back, looking at the darkness in front of me, I still didn't find anything. I was very puzzled in my heart, but Wenmo kept signaling me not to speak, and I couldn't ask questions, so I had to endure it.
