Chapter 31: A Roar from the Underground
"Look at your stupid naivety, I really don't want to tell you the truth!" I sighed and shook my head, "Have you opened your little eyes and taken a closer look at the thunder here?" Did you flash it? Is it windy? How do you use that theory? ”
Lantern Xiao listened to my words, and was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, "Damn, it seems to be true!" So, then you say, what's going on? Is it really a yin soldier borrowing the way? ”
I shook my head, "Whether it's a Yin soldier borrowing it, I don't know, it's not as simple as you said anyway." I really don't understand how you have survived until now with your brain! ”
Lantern Xiao patted me a little embarrassed, "I just woke up, my brain is a little difficult to use, the horse has missed, and the person has stumbled!" ”
"Then take your hoof off my shoulder." I sighed and turned my head to continue looking at the valley floor.
The voice continued, and it became more and more obvious at this point, and I seemed to be about to hear what they were saying, I don't know if it was an illusion, or what, I even heard the melodious voice of Tao Xun.
Lantern Xiao only eased up at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, it won't really be haunted!" ”
I ignored him, and suddenly, I saw a person standing up at the bottom of the valley, and my heart suddenly trembled, but when I looked closely, wasn't the person standing below Wenmo?
Lantern Xiao also noticed the situation in the valley, "Hey, there's a person!" ”
I immediately said, "That's the boss!" With that, I stood up and prepared to find my way down to the bottom.
But Lantern Xiao pulled me back, "Don't worry, I don't think something is right?" ”
I looked at Lantern Xiao in surprise, "Something is wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"See for yourself!" Lantern Xiao pointed downward.
I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Wen Mo walking forward for a while, kneeling on one leg, and then lying down again. After a while, he stood up, took two steps forward, and then fell down on one leg again, and then fell down repeatedly.
Seeing this situation, I was also puzzled, and Lantern Xiao lowered her voice and said to me, "How strange! I feel like he's doing something ritualistic! ”
After saying this in the Lantern Festival, Wenmo really seems to be doing a ritual, a bit like a Tibetan kowtow!
I watched this strange scene coldly, a strange noise echoed in the valley, and Wenmo was alone at the bottom of the silent valley, making strange movements.
"No way!" I suddenly stood up again, "I'm going down and asking!" ”
"Oops!" Lantern Xiao also followed, "You wait for me!" ”
The two of us went down the hillside to the bottom of the valley until we came to Wenmo's side. Wen Mo heard our movements, just looked back at us, and did not speak, but he stopped his movements.
Standing at the bottom of the valley, the strange noise is even more obvious, but this sound always gives people the illusion that you have to hear what is being said in the voice, but no matter how close or far away you are, you can never really hear clearly.
I looked around the valley floor, and there didn't seem to be any movement, and I didn't see any danger, but I still had the dagger in my hand.
We walked straight to Wen Mo's side, Wen Mo didn't look back, just looked straight in the direction we came from.
I wanted him to tell us what happened, but judging by what he meant, it didn't seem like he had the intention of doing so. I couldn't hold back and asked directly, "Wenmo, what are you doing here?" ”
Wen Mo didn't answer directly, but pointed to the air, "You listen to this voice." ”
I nodded, "We heard the voice, but I want to know what you were doing?" ”
Wen Mo listened to my words and turned his head to look at me, "I'm listening to this voice." ”
Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Do you still need to listen to this voice like that, you can tell me, does it matter if this voice is given to you?" ”
Wen Mo turned his head and continued to look in the direction he came, "You can do it yourself and you will understand." ”
I looked at each other in some surprise, but Lantern Xiao still followed the example of Wenmo just now and supported the ground with both hands, half-squatting on the ground, but soon Lantern Xiao's face changed, and then he fell to the ground all of a sudden, startling me, and I immediately asked him: "What are you doing!" ”
Lantern Xiao didn't pay attention to me at all, but tilted his head sideways and stuck to the ground, I was a little blind, could it be that there was some magic on the ground, Lantern Xiao touched it and fell into evil?!
After more than ten seconds, after Lantern Xiao got up, he took a few steps forward and repeated the action just now, which was the same as what Wenmo did just now.
I looked inexplicable, and stepped forward and pulled Lantern Xiao up, "What the hell are you doing?" ”
Lantern Xiao didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, looked at me, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Wenmo, until I shook his shoulder again, Lantern Xiao was a little dazed, and waved his hand, "Go and listen to it yourself, you will understand!" ”
I was a little confused, but after thinking about it, I followed the example of the two of them, and first touched the ground under my feet with my hand, and when my fingers just touched the ground, my heart trembled, because I felt that the temperature of the soil on the ground seemed to be higher than in other places, and at the same time, I felt a slight vibration in my fingertips.
This made me wonder in my heart, could the strange noise in the valley have anything to do with the vibration under the ground, so I wanted to listen to the movement underground, and found that I couldn't bend down when I squatted on the ground, so I simply lay on the ground. Unconsciously, I also made the same action as Lantern Festival and Wenmo just now.
I put my ears to the ground, and immediately I heard a roar or a roar, as if there was a huge beast trapped underground, trying to get out.
Suddenly, a fear came over me, I quickly stood up, looked at Wen Mo and said, "This, what the hell is going on?" ”
Wen Mo pointed to the streams and said, "These streams flow down the slopes or upstream, and I found that as soon as I entered the valley, the amount of water in them decreased rapidly, and when I checked them, I found that there were many small cracks and holes under these streams. It seems that the ground here is empty, and these streams flow into the ground along these places. ”
I see, if the terrain here is really like what Wenmo said, I can probably think of the reason for the strange sound here.
Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Then this situation, does it have anything to do with the sound we heard?" ”
I nodded, "According to what Wen Mo said, I think it is related, from the surface temperature we feel on the ground, we can infer that there must be a heat source underground here." When the icy stream water flows from the surface into the ground, some of it will inevitably be vaporized to form steam, which will be reduced by the outside temperature at night. Due to the difference in temperature between above and below the surface, a pressure difference is formed! The water vapor below the surface of the earth will be released outward along some cracks and holes in the surface of the earth, and when the gas passes through those places, it is like whistling, and it will inevitably produce vibrations and make sounds, and countless such sounds converge together to form the kind of noisy sound we hear. ”
Lantern Xiao looked around, the noise of the crowd was still continuing, but there was a tendency to intensify, after listening to our explanation, Lantern Xiao's face was still a little nervous, "I still don't think something is right!" ”
I smiled, "Didn't you still want to reveal the secret scientifically just now, how can you really explain it scientifically clearly, but you feel that something is wrong!" ”
Lantern Xiao looked at me and Wen Mo, "Are you sure this phenomenon is not dangerous?" ”
I really didn't dare to guarantee this ......, so I had to turn my head to look at Wenmo. However, Wenmo didn't look at us, but at the places where the streams gathered.
I walked over and just wanted to ask him what he was looking at. At this moment, I suddenly noticed that all the streams in front of me suddenly became agitated. The water seemed to boil, and bubbles the size of eggs burst from the water.
Lantern Xiao jumped over all of a sudden, "Damn!" It's time to boil! ”
Wen Mo's face also changed, "Quick! Get out of here! ”
Things changed so suddenly that the three of us jumped over the boiling stream and ran in the direction of the camp, and as we passed by the streams, I noticed that the stream, which had been crystal clear, had now turned pale green.
I didn't dare to stop along the way, and ran to the position of the camp on the hillside in one go.
When we looked back at the valley below, all the sparkling waves at the bottom had turned into pale green "magma". I'm reminded of the cartoon "The Smurfs" I watched when I was a kid, and every time Gargamel boiled a strange poison, it was this bubbling green liquid.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always felt a strange pungent smell wafting through the air. It made me subconsciously hold my breath.
We're camping a long way from the valley floor, and it seems safe for now.
We went back to the fire, the flames were much smaller, but the smell of charcoal muffled the strange smell and made me feel much better.
To our surprise, Anado was still asleep in her sleeping bag, and the movement in the valley didn't wake her up.
Lantern Xiao looked at Anado's sleeping bag and suddenly smiled, "This eldest sister, her heart is so wide!" I slept so soundly. ”
I also smiled, but I soon realized that something was wrong, Lantern Festival usually sleeps enough to die, this situation is awakened, how can a girl in Anador not be disturbed at all!
I got up and walked to Anado's side, slowly squatted down and looked, and found that Anado's eyes were closed at this time, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was breathing heavily. I felt that her state was not quite right, and subconsciously reached out and touched Anado's forehead, "Oh my God! It's so hot! ”
