Chapter 136: The Heavens Fall
Xiao Wu's barbecue technique is good, but it's a pity that the hare in this mountain forest not only looks fierce, but even the body is full of tendon meat that is difficult to bite, and there is a smell of earthy smell in the meat, Liang Baoyu calculated in his heart, such a hare wants to cook into a delicious dish, I am afraid that it will have to use a lot of condiments and pressure cooker.
In yesterday's thrilling battle of life and death, although Liang Baoyu and Xiao Wu acted as bystanders across the wide water, the twists and turns of the plot and the danger of fighting for their lives still made the two of them feel uneasy.
The two of them were able to reach the current valley safely from the Manshan Village, in addition to the correct choice of taking a bamboo raft and taking the waterway, more because of good luck.
In this wild mountain forest, God knows how many dangers are hidden, the beasts that can be seen, the roars that can be heard, you can rely on your own prediction and wit to dodge, but what about the invisible snakes, insects and poisonous ants? What about strange parasites and fungi?
Even according to the routine of some blockbusters in later generations, going deep into the wild mountains and forests, and not being infected with some strange viruses, I am sorry for coming to this trip!
But none of this compares to the traps that nature has devoured.
Liang Baoyu and Xiao Wu, who were about to stay at the entrance of the cave to bask in the sun, witnessed a scene far more bizarre and spectacular than the battle between the giant crocodile and the python!
The water level has risen a lot, the water surface has become much wider, and a huge whirlpool has appeared in the center!
Like a large flush toilet, there seems to be a bottomless pit under the whirlpool, constantly devouring the water in the pool!
The water level is decreasing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye, and that vortex is like a black hole in the universe, after constantly devouring everything that can be swallowed, it is rapidly growing larger!
Liang Baoyu and Xiao Wu's eyes widened, the two of them really couldn't imagine that after two boring days on the bamboo raft, once they landed, once they really had close contact with this wild land, they could see so many wonderful scenes in a row!
"What a big fish!"
"yes, I'm afraid that the big fish is about to catch up with our bamboo raft......"
The whirlpool that appeared in the center of the waterhole was like a brutal king, pulling everything in the water into the bottomless pit hidden beneath it with a strong attitude, and a big fish with a three-meter-long beam Baoyu that could not distinguish its name, like a fierce beast that had fallen into a hunter's trap, writhed its body violently, struggling to escape from the whirlpool that could swallow everything......
When the fish struggles in the water, the power that bursts out is so terrifying that all the anglers can come out and stand on the platform, but even so, even if the tail of the big fish slaps out a column of water several meters high, it still can't escape the fate of being swallowed by the whirlpool!
"Uncle, is the Water Dragon King here to fetch water?"
Folklore has it that some rivers and lakes will disappear overnight, because the Water Dragon King wants to go to the clouds and rain, and when he walks halfway, he finds that he doesn't have enough water, so he takes water nearby.
"The Water Dragon King of bullshit! There must be a big hole under the whirlpool, and the big hole should be connected to some underground lava cave, and the top of the cave should be loosened, and the water level has risen and completely collapsed the roof of the cave...... If the cave is big enough, or connected to other underground channels, it might be able to drain all the water out of this pool! ”
As if specifically to confirm Liang Baoyu's words, in just one afternoon, the water level of the waterhole was much lower than when they came, and the bottom of the pool covered with silt was exposed, and even the waterfall downstream was cut off!
"Boy, our chance has come, after tonight, the position at the mouth of the waterfall should be able to dry some, and tomorrow morning we will go there to the opposite side, the weapons and tools left by Dou Wenxuan's gang are the basis for us to continue to live here!"
"The water level doesn't rise suddenly, does it? What if the underground cave you mentioned is filled? The river above is not broken, and it keeps pouring water into the pool! ”
"Human fate is destined, if God doesn't let the two of us go to the other side, then there is no need to force it, but even if the water level rises, it will definitely not fall as quickly as it is now, just pay attention to it when the time comes."
I don't know if it's because this valley is inhabited by two scourges, giant pythons and giant crocodiles, which make other beasts dare not enter this area, or if yesterday's heavy rain caused all the animals to enter the latent mode, this night was exceptionally quiet, and even the roars of various beasts that have never been interrupted in the distance have disappeared.
When the day was shining, this strange land once again ushered in a sunny and good weather.
It was really the same as Liang Baoyu had thought before, the mouth of the waterfall that suddenly narrowed the mountain was not much silt because of the extremely fast water flow, and after a night, the thin layer of silt had dried up and cracked, but even so, Liang Baoyu, who was dragging a bunch of tattered belongings on his back, stepped on it, and still gurgle.
Liang Baoyu didn't dare to walk on the edge of the waterfall mouth, although there were large rocks exposed, but the terrifying height made him a little frightened, as the exit of the entire valley, the wind here was very strong, if it was blown down by the wind because of the convenience, it would be death!
After a night, the whirlpool in the center of the waterhole still did not disappear, but it became much smaller, and I don't know if the cave below was about to be filled with water, or if the terrifying pressure created by the waterhole, which was already 3/4 smaller, was slowly weakening.
In the vast expanse of bare mud, there are many fish, shrimp and other strange aquatic animals struggling in vain, and they do not live long without water.
In the midst of this strange natural phenomenon, Liang Baoyu, who can explain it with the knowledge he has, involuntarily became silent.
This sense of powerlessness and insignificance that arises from the bottom of one's heart in the face of the great power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted or stopped by human insight and cognition.
The area of the valley is not small, the road is not easy to walk, and the waterfall mouth is very windy, Liang Baoyu did not return to the opposite bank until the third pole of the sun.
"But I'm tired of Lord Ben, Xiao Wu, let's take a look at what supplies Brother Dou, the captain of the transport brigade, has sent us!"
"If it weren't for that rainstorm, the water level wouldn't have risen so much, and the things left by Dou Wenxuan's gang would be enough for us to eat for a month."
"Silly, isn't it? No matter how many things we have, we can't take them away, can we still hide here and be savages? What's more, without that rainstorm, maybe the bottom of the waterhole would not have been crushed and a big hole would have appeared, and we wouldn't have been able to get around! ”
Liang Baoyu's ability to adjust his mentality at any time and maintain high morale made Xiao Wu admire.
Just as the two of them picked up a long knife, the howl of monkeys came from the forest in the distance!
