Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Dark River
"How to get there?"
"This way."
After the two finished taking pictures, Li Ming followed Tian Sanjiang towards the depths of the cave.
The further you go inside, the more dim the light becomes, after all, the holes above your head have gradually become fewer or even gone.
The two were not in a hurry, turned on the flashlight and walked slowly.
The dark environment can gradually awaken people's fear of the unknown, but I don't know why, Li Ming at this time is quite calm in his heart.
"How did you find this place when you first came?" Looking at Tian Sanjiang, who was cautious on the side, Li Ming couldn't help but ask.
Tian Sanjiang shook his head: "Actually, I'm just walking blindly, there are only two roads in this cave, I just chose one at random, and I haven't seen the other side yet." ”
Li Ming thought about it and nodded.
There are only two forks in this underground cavern, and it is only natural to choose one to enter at random.
"So, you don't know what's on the other side?"
"I don't know, but this side almost killed me."
"Oh? Is it dangerous? Li Ming said curiously.
Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and said in astonishment: "Are you not afraid at all?" ”
"Maybe in my feelings, there is nothing more terrible than killing someone."
Tian Sanjiang stopped talking, as if thinking about something.
The cave is not completely dry, there is a shallow stream in the middle, which seems to be connected to the existence of an underground dark river, walking in the cave tunnel, Li Ming even has a feeling of being in some kind of strange world.
Unable to help but pull out his camera and press the shutter.
Click!
"What are you doing?" Startled by the sudden flash, Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Take pictures."
"You've come to this kind of place, and you still want to take pictures?" Tian San and the craftsmen were stunned.
"Or else?"
Looking at Li Ming again, Tian Sanjiang felt as if he was looking at some kind of monster.
Wouldn't this guy be scared at all in such an environment?
Then, he saw Li Ming raise the camera and 'click' and 'click' again.
Tian Sanjiang: ......
Okay, it seems that the kid really doesn't feel scared.
"Be careful, there may be danger ahead." Tian Sanjiang said.
"Dangerous?" Li Ming said curiously: "Do you mean those little things on your legs?" ”
"On my lap?"
Tian Sanjiang was stunned, and then jumped in fright.
"it!"
"When did it stick up?!"
Tian Sanjiang looked down and saw that there were several white insects stuck to his trouser legs, and no matter how he stomped his feet, he couldn't get rid of them.
"Don't throw it hard, it's useless." Li Ming came to Tian Sanjiang's side and squatted down: "This is a leech, but it grows in a cave, because it has not been irradiated by light for a long time, the color on the body has gradually faded and become this pure white color." ”
"Wait a minute."
Li Ming took out a jar from his body, grabbed a handful of white powder, and sprinkled it on these small things.
Soon, I saw that these leeches deflated and fell off Tian Sanjiang's trouser leg on their own.
"You should be glad that I often cook food in the mountains, so I brought salt with me." Li Ming said.
Tian Sanjiang didn't need to speak, just quickly lifted his trouser legs, only to see that there were several small holes on his calves, and there were blood stains on them.
And before Li Ming spoke, he didn't even realize anything.
Rubbing his calves, he found that Li Ming actually ran over to take pictures of those leeches.
"You ......"
"This creature is pretty rare now, take two more shots, and I'll probably have to take a few with me then." Li Ming said.
Hearing Li Ming's words, Tian Sanjiang didn't know what to say for a while.
"The water ahead is about to get deeper, and there are even more terrifying things in it, don't be too idle!" Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but say.
Indeed, as the two of them advanced for a while, the shallow stream in the middle of the cave had turned into a bottomless dark river, especially in this pitch-black environment, which was even more dangerous and mysterious.
"Looks like you've fallen before?" Li Ming said curiously.
When Tian Sanjiang heard this, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
If he hadn't fallen before, how could he be so embarrassed when he went back?
Li Ming stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall on the side, and said: "The temperature of this cave is very suitable for the growth of underground creatures, and there is also the existence of a dark river, it seems that there are fish in this underground river?" ”
Seeing that Tian Sanjiang still didn't speak, Li Ming continued: "Although there is a dark river, but because of the lack of light underground, according to the law of the food chain, there should not be too large aquatic creatures, even if large aquatic creatures come to this kind of food-deficient place, they will not stay for too long, unless you are too unlucky, so, you should be bitten by a fish?" ”
"I guess it's extremely aggressive to make you scared like this...... Eyeless piranhas? ”
Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but glance at Li Ming with strange eyes.
This guy is a monster, right?
He didn't say anything, and he just guessed what happened to him so easily?
Last time, I accidentally fell into the river, but it took a lot of hard work to climb back to shore, and when I walked out of the mountain, the smell of blood on my body attracted other wild animals, and I almost lost my life before running out.
But this guy, with that understatement tone, feels like he's here to hang out.
"How the hell do you know that?" Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but ask.
"Read more, study more, it's easy to guess." Li Ming said.
Indeed, Li Ming's hobby now is reading.
Because he has become deeply aware of the importance of knowledge.
Tian Sanjiang felt that if he continued to talk to Li Ming, he would be angry to death sooner or later.
Without further ado, the two continued to carefully lean against the wall and began to move forward.
I don't know how long they walked, but the two finally reached the end of the cave.
In front of them, a stone door appeared.
And under the stone gate, there is a dark river.
It seems that the existence of this door is to make people make a choice, open the door, or dive in.
"The stone door can't be opened, I've tested it in various ways before." Tian Sanjiang said.
"So, you tried to dive into the dark river under the stone gate last time?" Li Ming finally understood how Tian Sanjiang was bitten by a fish.
Without waiting for Tian Sanjiang to answer, Li Ming picked up the flashlight and began to search around the stone gate.
"I've seen it countless times, and if I had a way, I wouldn't have dived in last time."
Seeing that Li Ming didn't seem to give up, Tian Sanjiang couldn't help but say: "There is indeed a graphic password on the door, but the ghost knows what the password is......"
Rumble!!!
Just as Tian Sanjiang was speaking, the stone door opened.
