Chapter 155: A rocky place
Either some small pit made of rocks, or some deliberately discarded diving accessories at a fork in the road.
In such a tense situation, the bearded captain still had this leisure to play with these gadgets, and while making people feel disdainful, Bai Ning was also a little puzzled.
These traps were set up to slow down Bai Ning's final speed, but these traps were too dense, and as a tactic for doubtful soldiers, their cost performance was extremely low.
Even based on Bai Ning's ability, the time it takes to get these things is likely to be greater than the time to hinder Bai Ning.
However, given the bearded captain's penchant for flamboyant guts, in addition to these superficial purposes, it is also necessary to consider the deeper purpose behind it.
From a logical point of view, there are only two possible purposes for the suspicious array here:
One is to delay Bai Ning's time;
The second is to lure Bai Ning to other more dangerous locations.
Considering the various genetic organisms that exist in this area, the bearded captain may have encountered other more dangerous genetic creatures before, and it is indeed a very dangerous thing to be misled at will.
Based on such an overall consideration, the safe way that Bai Ning should take now is to slowly look for the true traces of the bearded captain to avoid straying into the danger zone.
But after thinking about it again, if you slowly look for traces, then it is already equivalent to a delaying strategy!
In such a virtual and real way, all the roads were focused on slowing down Bai Ning's forward speed, and this kind of scheming move was very much in line with the usual routine of the bearded captain.
In this way, Bai Ning should ignore these external things at the moment and catch up with the bearded captain who fled urgently as quickly as possible.
However, this area is vast, and the rapid advance speed will make Bai Ning completely miss the opportunity to catch up with the bearded captain.
From this point of view, whether it is positive or false, Bai Ning may make a big mistake in a single judgment.
The use of such a sharp strategy is in line with the bearded captain's seven-trick exquisite heart.
If you want to solve such a dilemma, you should abandon the interference of foreign objects on yourself, and follow your usual rhythm to track it slowly and steadily.
Based on the dark nature of this area, light is the best means of tracking, Bai Ning didn't believe that this scheming bearded captain could still bring ten or eight spare strong flashlights.
Combined with the items left on the ground, Bai Ning chased after them unhurriedly, and from time to time he would climb the boulder beside him to inspect everywhere.
The hard work paid off, and finally Bai Ning found a faint light flashing in the distance again.
There was no surprise in his heart, and Bai Ning leaned closer to that side in a roundabout way.
I don't know if it's an accidental appearance, but every once in a while, a faint light flickers, like a lighthouse guiding ships closer to it.
If it is according to the tactics of the suspicious soldiers encountered before, it is likely that this is another trick used by the bearded captain to lure the enemy.
Using a light source that can emit light intermittently, and then tying it to the body of a baby fish, you can use this baby fish to continuously attract Bai Ning's attention.
Once Bai Ning blindly chases this baby fish, then he will be completely led astray, and even lose the opportunity to track the bearded captain.
A very ingenious moving light trap, the best trap that can be set using the basic characteristics of a light source in a dark environment.
According to this line of thinking, Bai Ning should give up the current goal and turn around and wait for other opportunities.
However, on the other hand, it is likely that this is also a suspicious tactic used by the bearded captain.
deliberately and indirectly emitted a light source to make Bai Ning suspicious.
After thinking about it overall, Bai Ning felt that the possibility of being a light source bait was not too high, mainly because of the difficulty of obtaining the baby fish and the way to make the baby fish move stably.
You must know that cold-blooded animals like baby fish generally rarely move unless they prey, and they want to move for a long time unless they are aware of the danger.
Combined with this analysis, Bai Ning felt that the current situation was likely to be just a suspicious strategy.
continued to grope forward, and as Bai Ning gradually approached, the light source that flickered in front of him was indeed automatically extinguished.
Very vigilant early warning ability, which has proven Bai Ning's previous guess.
Finally caught the cunning fox, Bai Ning immediately stepped up and ran in the direction where the bearded captain was.
As if stimulated, the bearded captain also turned on the lights and ran violently, and two shining pillars of light swayed wildly in the underground cavity, staging a crazy scene of chasing after me.
But as soon as he ran a few dozen meters away, Bai Ning felt that he couldn't catch up with the target in front of him.
It is conceivable that the bearded captain may have lost his oxygen cylinder from the beginning.
Gritting his teeth, Bai Ning also threw away his oxygen cylinder, and then continued to run wildly.
Bai Ning didn't believe it, with his own endurance, couldn't he catch up with a half-old man?
Chased forward for a few hundred meters, the pillar of light in front of him still did not slow down, such a strong physical strength, not at all like the strength that a half-old man should have.
Running at full strength is an extremely tiring thing, and coupled with the thin air here, Bai Ning, a young man, is a little unbearable.
The phenomenon that violates the common sense of biology appears here, and the only explanation is that the half-grown old man in front of him has taken some kind of hyperactive agent.
Based on Captain Beard's track record of using all kinds of poisons, it's not uncommon for him to be able to give himself some high-spirited drugs that stimulate his potential.
It was impossible to catch up with all his might, and Bai Ning could only slow down and fall far away.
As long as you can follow the bearded captain to the core area, then the current hard work will be worth it.
Seeing the bearded captain running farther and farther, with a turn of effort, the pillar of light leading the way in front suddenly disappeared.
It looked like he had turned behind some big rock, but the long darkness still told Bai Ning that either the bearded man had gone into hiding again, or the other party had entered the tunnel.
In order to prevent a possible fight, Bai Ning could only slowly recover his strength as much as possible in the process of chasing, and slowly chased in the direction where the light disappeared.
Arriving at the area where the light disappeared, Bai Ning's breathing had gradually slowed down, and the strong flashlight searched everywhere, but did not find any hidden places for ambushes.
Keeping a safe distance, the white-collar worker jerked behind the boulder, and there was no one in sight.
The pillar of light continued to strafe, and found that there was indeed a tunnel not far away.
It's a place of choice.
Based on the previous confrontation with the bearded captain, the probability of success or failure in entering this tunnel is basically half and half.
To some extent, basic speculation is of no use in pursuing the bearded captain, and the choices made without clues are all high gambles.
After continuing to patrol the surroundings for a while, there was not the slightest trace of the hard rock ground.
Behind this boulder, the bearded captain may have sneaked into other places, or he could follow the tunnel deeper into other underground cavities.
In the next underground cavity, it may be the place where Liu Cheng currently exists in the hidden dragon.
After a short decision, Bai Ning still chose to continue to move towards the entrance of the cave.
Bai Ning didn't come here to hide from the bearded captain, let alone catch the bearded captain, his purpose was to find the dragon.
Or rather, he wanted to use Liu Cheng to discover some ancient relics related to dragons, in order to help confirm the secrets of the dried fruit from the relevant level.
After just exploring and chasing each other, this underground cavity seems to be huge, but there seems to be nothing in it except for some stones and baby fish.
If you want to explore the secrets of this dragon's lair, you can only continue to explore other underground cavities.
Not long after Bai Ning left, a black shadow also reappeared in front of the cave entrance.
As if struggling and hesitating for a moment, he also followed Bai Ning into the tunnel.
Just as Bai Ning thought in his heart, the purpose of his coming here was also to find the dragon, not to play with Bai Ning.
Now that everyone's purpose is the same, and they are not distracted by trivial things, and now that he has changed from a chased person to a follower, everything must be carried out according to the established process.
The previous underground cavities wasted Bai Ning a lot of time, and although it was not clear where this tunnel led, Bai Ning still kept his advance speed at the maximum.
This time, the tunnel seems to be a bit long, and the distance of nearly a kilometer makes white-collar workers feel a little incredible.
When the well was first drilled, there were already underground cavities three or four hundred meters underground, and even some black putrid liquid came out.
Judging from the current trajectories, the underground cavity here is not only three or four hundred meters deep, but the deepest part is likely to reach thousands of meters underground.
Considering the ultra-deep underground ancient ruins of the Tunguska region, the depth of this dragon's lair is quite shallow.
The space in front of him was empty again, very strange, this underground cavity was obviously deeper, but Bai Ning smelled a breath of fresh air inside.
Having existed in the low-oxygen area for a long time, now suddenly smelling sufficient oxygen, Bai Ning's whole body seemed to be excited, and a feeling of being drunk with oxygen made Bai Ning feel hot all over, as if he was soaking in hot water.
There is fresh air in this place, which means that it may be connected to some surface space, and given the low mountains outside Yingkou City, then this underground cavity may not be located deep under the seabed, but may be located under the land.
In other words, Liu Cheng's guess was correct, and in a cave near Yingkou City, there may really be a downward tunnel connecting here.
