Chapter 169: Caving
A night full of horror is also a night of danger. This night, the shrill voice did not sound again, but it seemed to continue to hover in everyone's mind, making people linger.
As the day dawned, everyone gathered in the tent to discuss the events of last night. That terrible voice is believed to be unforgettable for everyone.
Eventually, more than 20 sergeants immediately pulled out and returned the way they came. A dozen more decided to move on. Young people are among them.
Tian Nongxiang followed them silently. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to the final puzzle.
Two days later, an avalanche suddenly occurred, and more than a dozen people fled in all directions.
The young man dragged the captain Du Chengcai, who was lying on the ground, and sped along the snow.
The mountain shook so violently that something seemed to be shaking below, and the crowd in the distance had retreated far away. Suddenly, the ground cracked, and the snow rose to the sky, like a torrent in the sky.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the crowd in the distance. The young man hurriedly raised his head, only to see that the snow peak opposite was also shaking violently, like a pillar without roots, which could collapse at any time. Hurriedly deflected and tried to stay away from the snow peak.
"You go quickly!" Du Chengcai yelled. The young man didn't answer, he didn't let go, gritted his teeth and slid quickly.
Boom! The mountain peak broke off at the waist and smashed in this direction. The huge icicles fell with the scattered snow, and the young man pulled Du Chengcai to rush left and right. "Ahh
The young man bowed down to pick up Du Chengcai, turned around and continued to shuttle. "Go there, go there!" suddenly Du Chengcai pointed not far away and shouted. The two of them rushed over in an instant, and with a bang, they crashed into the thick snow.
"Come in!" Du Chengcai yelled anxiously.
The young man shouted, "Where to enter?"
"Hole!hole!" Du Chengcai shouted, pointing not far above his head.
The top was indeed a little recessed, and the bare hole was not large, and there were rows of thick icicles hanging from the top, which were grounded at the top, and it would be difficult to find them if it were not close at hand.
The young man put down Du Chengcai, waved his hand to pick up the loose snow on the outside, picked up Du Chengcai and pushed him to the edge of the hole, "Fast forward." Du Chengcai danced the sleigh he unloaded from under his feet and smashed a slightly thinner icicle and got in. Then he turned around and grabbed the young man who was reaching out, "Quick!
Snow poured into the cave in an instant, and the young man leaned half of his body and crawled between the icicles, laughing at the captain in the darkness. Du Chengcai, who had lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief and held his hand tightly, "Come in." ”
After the two came in, Du Chengcai took out a flashlight and began to investigate the hole. The entrance to the cave is small, but it is quite large, and there is a hole that extends inward.
At this time, Tian Nongxiang passed through the snow and also floated in. Standing not far away, staring at the two men silently.
In the dark, the two chatted for a long time and were silent for a long time.
"Let's take a look inside?" the young man asked suddenly.
Du Chengcai looked inside the cave and turned his head to look at the young man, patted his leg and scolded: "Boy, I'm so damn stupid, I'm a wounded person now, and it's inconvenient to come out and go in." ”
"Shall I go in and find out?" the young man continued.
"I'll go with you!" Du Chengcai said and was about to struggle to get up.
The young man hurriedly rushed over and helped him sit down again, "Captain, I'll go in, you wait for me here." ”
Du Chengcai dragged him to sit down, let out a long sigh, and stared at the young man to explain, "Xiang, remember two points: first, the road must be marked so as not to lose one's way; ”
The young man nodded heavily, "I wrote it down!"
Immediately sorted out his suite, then held a flashlight in one hand and a self-defense dagger in the other, walked towards the cave, and when he came to the corner, he turned around and smiled at Du Chengcai, "Captain, wait for my good news!"
Du Chengcai was extremely worried: "Remember my words, be careful!"
The young man turned away.
At this moment, Tian Nongxiang also followed. For some reason, his heart began to beat violently, was it nervous? Not exactly, there seemed to be a hint of excitement.
The young man leaned against the wall and groped inside, little by little. The hole was much bigger than he had imagined, and the sound of kicking stones and rolling under his feet echoed through the hole, and the only thing that seemed to be climbing up was nothing out of the ordeal. The flashlight shone away, and thick icicles hung on the roof of the cave, and rows of cyan boulders were unevenly embedded around the cave walls. He watched as he slowly walked inside, losing count of how many turns he had turned, except to leave a few marks on the boulder at each turn. Gradually, the entrance to the cave became smaller and smaller, in some places even less than a meter, and it seemed that it was nearing the end.
Suddenly, his feet slipped and he slammed to the ground with a thud, leaving a smooth ground at his tentacles. Tian Xiang picked up the flashlight and shone it, and there was a layer of smooth ice under his feet, and it stretched forward. Struggling to his feet, he muttered a curse in his mouth and continued to walk slowly forward.
There was a "poof", and there was a sound of heavy objects falling in front of me, echoing in the narrow hole. Tian Xiang's heart tightened, leaning against the cave wall, holding the dagger tightly and staring ahead. After the echo, calm returned to the cave. Tian Xiang's heart was pounding nervously at this time, "What's in front of you? Could it be someone from the second team?" he thought to himself. After a long time, Tian Xiang moved forward again, but because there was ice in many places on this section of the road, he was walking very slowly.
Suddenly, his feet were empty, and he fell instantly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and reached out to grab the boulder spit out from the cave wall so that it did not fall. After stabilizing his body, he used a flashlight to shine it, and gasped, it turned out that there was a crack half a meter wide between the cave wall and the passage, and the light shone out, the crack was bottomless, and there was a cool breeze from there.
With a whew, it seemed as if something was passing behind him. His heart tightened, and he turned abruptly, but there was nothing. Standing against the other wall, as far away from the crack as possible, he squeezed his dagger and looked around. He was extremely nervous, but he still didn't want to go back. It was too difficult to figure it out here, and he didn't want to give up his efforts.
After a long time, he slowly moved forward for two or three hundred meters, and a boulder in front of him blocked the way. The young man looked carefully, and it seemed that this place was at the end, except for a black hole less than half a meter square above the boulder.
The young man did not dare to make a mistake, because the hole was too small, and if there was something in it, it would be difficult to open it in that small place. There was another snort, and it seemed that the sound sounded beside him, and without thinking about it, he swung his dagger and stabbed it at the sound. "Squeak!" After a strange scream, he hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, but it was still empty. In an instant, his hair stood on end, and he didn't dare to move a step against the wall.
"Sizzle", there was a sound overhead. The young man hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, looked up, and shivered. I saw that on the boulder not far from the head, there was a black python with a thick bowl, spitting out a letter and glaring at him.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, he stared at the python and took a few steps back against the wall as he slowly unloaded his backpack and placed it next to the boulder. How could there be such a thing in this place?, his hand clenching the dagger, even trembled slightly. It was the first time he had seen such a thick python, and it became more and more terrifying under the dim light.
Tian Nongxiang stood in the corner of the wall, staring at this person and a python quietly. He wanted to help the young man, but he couldn't.
