"Is your leg okay?" Chen Jianqiu walked to He Jiasheng's side.

Teresa is doing a simple bandaging on him.

"It's alright, young master." He Jiasheng put down his trouser leg and stood up again, "A little skin trauma, when I was building railroads in Nevada, I often encountered this kind of thing, and it would be fine if I wiped it twice with spit." ”

"It didn't hurt the joints." Teresa also stood up and wiped the beads of sweat from her head.

"Hmm." Chen Jianqiu nodded, and he looked at Teresa.

The black skirt of the aunt was torn by a corner, and the whole body was smeared with the same glands as the monsters, smelly and fishy, and the ash and sweat on her face were mixed together, and she looked like a big flower face under the light of the torches.

It stands to reason that in this narrow and complex environment, Chen Jianqiu should not take Teresa down, firstly, because she is not young, and secondly, her skirt is not convenient to move.

But Teresa has always insisted on coming along, she can't rest assured that her husband and these children she has followed all the way.

And Chen Jianqiu also needs a senior medical staff to follow him, and at a critical moment, he may really be able to save their lives.

"You're okay, follow us rough old men all the way, and you've worked hard all the way." Chen Jianqiu said apologetically.

"Uh~ yes, yes." Sean whispered.

"Yes, yes, wife......" Danny stood next to Sean, just about to say something.

Teresa turned around, glared at the two men, and pointed at them, "You two, shut up!" ”

One black and one white, one tall and one short, immediately shut up, like two children who have made a mistake.

In the cave just now, it is likely that it was their homesick tune that "woke up" those stalactites that had been sleeping for many years

When Teresa saw that these two people were stunned, she turned to Chen Jianqiu again: "Chen, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Chen Jianqiu walked to Holmes's side.

Professional matters have to consult professional people, and in this regard, he has always chosen to believe in the professional ability of the team members.

This cave doesn't look big from the outside, but the cave chambers inside are one after another, and there are thousands of strange things, if you walk blindly, you can't find the treasure, not to mention, you are likely to be trapped directly inside.

The geologist was squinting against the rock wall and studying something, Chen Jianqiu was holding a torch on the side, and did not disturb him.

"Chen, let's keep going. If the descendants of the Aztecs were really looking for a spacious place to store their belongings, it should be at the very bottom of this cave. There might be an underground river or an underground lake. ”

Holmes judged from the point of view of the formation of the cave, but he was still a little hesitant.

"I'm not so sure, though, and there could be a lot of forks in the road."

"Let's go, we don't have much choice right now." Chen Jianqiu said, "As long as there is air circulation, we are at least safe." ”

He took a new torch from Liu Dabao's back and lit it, and handed it to Danny: "Let's continue to go." ”

The formation of the team has not changed, and it is still Chen Jianqiu and Holmes who are leading the team and walking at the front of the team.

Before reaching a fork in the road, Holmes cautiously gave his own advice, and Chen Jianqiu made the choice.

Chen Jianqiu replaced words with footsteps.

He knew that every choice he made now was no different from gambling.

Despite this, Chen Jianqiu's steps were still extremely firm, and he did not stop without any hesitation.

The road in the cave twists and turns, winding and twisting.

After a few circles, they entered another large cave.

The stone path ahead became narrow and steep, leading down into the darkness where nothing could be seen.

With their previous experience, this time everyone was silent, and they even slowed down their own steps, and the cave was so quiet that even a pin could be heard.

There is air flow through the cave, and the torch swaying and swaying, reflecting the uneven cave walls and those strangely shaped stalactites.

Their shadows, as well as the shadows of the procession, danced on the cave wall on the other side, intertwining with the real scene.

This makes the scenery in the cave seem more and more bizarre and real.

"Boom."

The sound of a drop of water falling into a deep pool.

"Boom."

The sound came from outside the light of the torches.

In the darkness, where you can't see it, it may be from the dome or from some other location, droplets of water are falling continuously.

"There's water down there?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head and whispered to Holmes.

Holmes nodded.

They continued to descend and soon reached the bottom of the cave.

It's a flat land.

Unlike the uneven floors of other caves, the rocky ground in front of you is unusually smooth, as if it has been polished.

It's a surprisingly flat platform.

Chen Jianqiu raised the torch in his hand high, and when he looked around through the firelight, he realized that he had greatly underestimated the size of this place.

The ground here is very open, open to the point where the torch fire does not reach its end.

It's not so much a platform as a square.

"You guys wait here for a while, and Holmes and I will go around first." Chen Jianqiu said.

Chen Jianqiu walked forward along the outer edge of the square with a torch, trying to measure the size of the square with his feet.

Every few steps, you will see some strange stones erected on the ground, and like the stalactites in the dome, they are also made of limestone corroded by carbon dioxide water, so the shape is naturally wanton, as you like.

Chen Jianqiu felt that the visual impact brought by these stones and their shadows was no less than that in the cave just now.

Fantasy and reality.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Jianqiu found himself walking to the edge of a pool of water.

He looked up, and sure enough, water droplets were dripping from above, falling into the lake in front of him.

On the outskirts of this flat land, there is an underground lake.

Chen Jianqiu walked to the edge of the square, he squatted down, and looked at the lake by the light of the torch.

The lake is pitch black, bottomless, and there is no life in sight, except for the occasional "goo, gooo" and a few bubbles tumbling upwards.

This lake is like a pair of deep eyes, turning into a bottomless abyss, and when Chen Jianqiu is staring at it, he is also staring at Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu felt that something was wrong, and he felt that if he looked at it like this, he would have an urge to jump in.

"Holmes, your guess is really accurate, but these three sides can't all be such lakes, could it be that this flat square is an island?"

Chen Jianqiu stood up and said.

However, no one answered.

"Holmes?"

Chen Jianqiu turned his head and found that the geologist was standing there blankly, looking expressionlessly in the direction of the center of the square.

There, beyond the reach of the firelight, it was pitch black.

Chen Jianqiu frowned, he sensed that something was wrong with Holmes.

Even if a geologist is kidnapped in various ways to the point where he has nothing to love, he is not in this kind of expression and state.

However, whether it is evil or bewitched, Chen Jianqiu has his own way to let this person come back.

This method was used by Butcher Hu on his son-in-law, and the effect was not bad.

Just as Chen Jianqiu was about to give Holmes a "gentle" slap in the face, the geologist's body suddenly moved.

He jerked his legs wide open and ran toward the center of the square.
