Chapter 59: Monty Python

In this way, the three of us sat on the boat and carefully surveyed the environment in the river.

This is an underground main river, the river meanders, sometimes open, the scene is spectacular, sometimes narrow, the narrowest point can barely reach the hull of the guò, the stalactites hang, reachable, very exciting, and the rock pillars, standing in the wide part of the river, like a forest, small boats shuttle through it, there is a feeling of being in a different world.

The boat went down the water, and went forward very smoothly along the winding river, and suddenly, the river began to become wider, and the water flowed much slower, and after turning a big bend of ninety degrees, a huge circular underground lake appeared in front of everyone, and the lake was surrounded by stone stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone flowers, stone curtains, etc. The scenery is thousands, the landscape is peculiar, its shape is like a crocodile playing in the water, the flying elephant crosses the river, the hungry lion grabs food, the double dragon grabs the pearl, under the illumination of the torch and the miner's lamp, it is lifelike; there are also like the pavilions and pavilions, the turtle and the snake and the beast are vivid, it is really everything.

Looking up at the top of the cave, it seems to be a strange deep night sky, the phosphorescent light on the stone mantle resembles the stars in the night sky, here and the ground are completely two worlds, if it is not for the treasure hunt, these three people can hardly see such a wonderful scene.

"Wow! It's unbelievable that there is such a big underground lake!" The three of them were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, I had seen records about the underground lake in the book, but the descriptions in these records were far from being comparable to the real scene in front of them, this place was so beautiful.

"There must be a foreign object in a vision. Looking at the underground lake in front of him, Uncle Li put down the shovel, stroked his beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect such a strong water aura to gather here, it seems that this green dragon wood must be nearby, okay, now let's carefully survey the surroundings of this lake and find the entrance to the treasure place!"

I took the other one and rowed it in the water as an oar, and sailed the boat towards the rock wall, and began to look around the underground lake, hoping to find some clues.

This is a typical limestone karst cave, in a long geological time, when the water containing carbon dioxide gas is immersed in the carbonite rock for dissolution, the calcium carbonate flows down the cavity with the loss of water, and only after 10,000 years of continuous dissolution and gradual expansion, can the cave of such a scale be formed.

The surrounding rock walls are still slowly expanding outward under the action of water, and after the lime layer is dissolved, only layer by layer of rock layers remains, staggered and abruptly on the rock wall, so that a layer of dark lattice is formed between each two rock layers, like a multi-layer bookshelf, listed on the rock wall.

The boat moved along the edge of the lake little by little, and the iron pillar used the miner's lamp to inspect every corner of the rock wall, but found no traces of manual excavation.

"Master, where are we now, have we reached the bottom of the hill at the top of the Kowloon?" I asked as I rowed.

Uncle Li took out the compass again and fixed the direction.

"Well, we should have arrived near the hill by now, look carefully, if there are no clues, there must be an exit ahead, let's check the underground river near the hill, we will definitely find some clues." ”

"Okay!" I looked at my watch, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and I made up my mind that I would never go back if I couldn't find the treasure.

It didn't take long for a few caves to appear in front of them, but the entrance to the cave was so narrow that even half of the hull could not pass through, and it seemed that they were just some naturally formed caves, so a few people continued to explore.

Suddenly, there was the sound of water hitting not far ahead, and I immediately quickened a few strokes, and a low but very wide hole appeared on the stone wall not far away, and the sound of water came from it.

The hole is about a dozen meters long, but only one meter high, and the three of them have to lie on their backs in the boat to get to guò. Since there was nothing to be found here, the three of us had no choice but to lie down on the boat, let the boat flow with the current, slowly sail into the cave, facing the rock wall close to my head, and a powerful sense of depression immediately came over me.

As I went deeper, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and I raised my head slightly, and found that there was a faint light not far ahead.

How can there be light in the depths of the earth? I hurriedly whispered to everyone to be prepared, there might be danger ahead.

The river flows very slowly, and as the distance between the boat and the entrance of the cave closes, everyone's mood becomes more and more tense.

I clutched the thorn and raised my head slightly, staring intently at the hole in front of me.

The boat finally floated out of the low hole, and a ray of golden sunlight shone down from a small hole at the top of the high stone wall on the left, and a lava underground lake that was even taller than just before appeared in front of everyone. The highest point of the cave is about 40 meters, and dozens of tall stone pillars lead to the top of the cave.

What's even more surprising is that on the right side of the cave, there is actually a waterfall, from top to bottom, although the flow is not very large, but it is very spectacular, especially in the opposite side of the sun, in the water mist, there is actually a rainbow, it is simply a wonder of the world, it is unbelievable.

The sound of the water I heard just now was the sound of the waterfall falling on the water.

When the waterfall fell into the water, the gusts of wind that were generated blew away, and disappeared without a trace, and the beauty created by nature here made the three of them a little intoxicated, it turned out that in the depths of the unknown underground, there was such a magical place hidden, it was so beautiful.

"I'm sure that Qinglongmu must be around here!" Looking at such a gorgeous beauty, Uncle Li said very firmly.

"Okay, then let's get started!" Seeing such a scene, the three of them immediately felt energetic, and started a new round of searching.

However, the three of us didn't expect that when they were excitedly sitting on the boat, while touring the beautiful scenery and looking for clues, under the clear water, a pair of green eyes were staring at their every move, ready to attack at any time.

The power and creativity of nature are always beyond people's imagination, who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful beauty in the depths of this mountain.

I paddled lightly and began to look for clues along the four walls.

Suddenly, the waves on the water rolled, and a silver-white thing came out, and the three of us immediately became nervous, but when we looked closely, it turned out to be a big catfish.

"Damn, I was startled, I thought that guy had come out again!" Tie Zhu inserted the picture he had just pulled out back into the sheath, and shone it on the water with a miner's lamp, only to see that in this clear and transparent lake, groups of big catfish were playing with each other,

"Master, look, the fish in the water are so big!"

"Yes, these fish live in the water so carefree, all of them grow so big and fat, and the lake water is so clear, the catfish raised must taste very delicious, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Uncle Li also saw the fish in the water, if it weren't for the urgency of Xian'er's matter, he would definitely let the two apprentices go down and catch a few.

After a false alarm, everyone began to continue to inspect their surroundings again.

Not far ahead, there are tall stone pillars, and I cautiously rowed a small boat between them.

Suddenly, there was a big wave in the water, and the boat was gently pushed outward, and the side of the boat on the right was touching a stone pillar, making a "bang" sound.

"Be careful, this ship can't help but crash, if it breaks, we'll be in trouble. After Uncle Li finished speaking, he hurriedly checked the hull, but fortunately he only touched it lightly, and it was no big deal.

"The sudden fluctuation on the water just now may have been caused by the waterfall, brother, hurry up and row the boat, it is safer to stay away from these things as much as possible. Tie Zhu looked at the waterfall not far in front of him and said loudly.

But as soon as the words were finished, there was a more violent wave on the water surface, and the boat hit the stone pillar again, and before I could speak, the two thick tentacles suddenly came out of the water on the left side, and under the reflection of that ray of sunlight, everyone could see very clearly, the length of the tentacles was about two meters, very thick, and they were not independent of each other, and they could be clearly seen through the clear lake water, the roots of the two tentacles were connected to a thicker long object.

"Be careful!" Uncle Li's voice did not fall, and the two tentacles quickly smashed into the boat, I was in a hurry, and used an iron shovel to resist a stone pillar, and with a sudden force, the boat quickly rushed forward, just dodging the blow.

"Smack!" splashed, and the tentacles slapped on the surface of the water.

At the same time, everyone picked up their own guys and prepared for battle.

After this shot, the two tentacles quickly came out of the water again, but this time there was no rush to attack, and the three of us stared at these two tentacles closely, ready to defend at any time.

Suddenly, there was another splash behind us, and the iron pillar hurriedly looked back, and this look was not important, so frightened that I shook my body and almost fell off the boat.

I saw that from the water behind me, a big python as thick as a human head came out, only three or four meters long when it was exposed, standing straight on the water, condescending, two small green eyes were staring closely at the three people on the boat, looking very terrifying.

"Oh my God, such a big worm!" Uncle Li looked back and was also startled.

Now they were suffering from the enemy at the same time, and the situation was very bad, but they did not have to think too much, and the huge head of the snake slammed downward, and swooped down on the iron pillar at the bow of the ship, and at the same time, the two tentacle snake's tails also hit me at the stern.

"It's not good, everyone jump to the stone pillar!" Uncle Li saw that the attack of the giant python was violent, and he couldn't dodge anymore, so he could only temporarily abandon the ship and jump onto the pillar to dodge.

The two of us saw that there was no other way, so we each found a pillar and jumped up.

As soon as they reached the pillar, they heard a click behind them, and everyone hurriedly looked back, only to see that the boat had been knocked apart by the python, and only a few broken pieces of wood were left dangling in the waves.

We glanced at each other and climbed up the stone pillar.

There are very small potholes all over the stone pillars, and it is not difficult to climb up.

But the giant python did not give up, after sinking the boat, it surfaced again, and began to hover along the pillar where I was, and the huge snake body gradually emerged from the water, full twenty meters long, tightly wrapped around the stone pillar, the most peculiar thing is its tail, which is actually divided into two tails, it is it, has been attacking us.
