Chapter 35: Exploring the Mysterious Cave
The sky was clear and cloudless. The sun is pouring down in the blue sky. The sea breeze hit and wiped it out, leaving only a faint gentleness in the sunshine. Under this boundless blue sky is the endless sea.
This is the edge of the continent. Looking back, there are no mountains and ravines, and there are flat rivers. Turning to the sea, the same is true, which makes people's hearts small. Monsoon stood on the continent, facing the sea and sky, as if embracing the embrace of the sea, and his heart was suddenly broad.
The mainland is nearly 100 feet above the sea. But under the hundred zhang is not the sea, but the beach is about five zhang wide. Monsoon spread his arms and fell down. Perform a light trick on this beach. Watching the sparkling waves, listening, roaring waves, stepping on, soft golden sand, smelling, agar and blue waves. Forget all the worries in your heart and let the cool sea breeze blow the hot and dry mood.
"What's that?" Monsoon saw the beach in the distance, and there seemed to be many caves. So I walked along the beach and went to check it out. Strange to say. There was a dead silence along the way, and there were no crabs and shrimps. The beach is about the same width, like a paved road.
Counting them up, there are nine caves. Eight of them are five zhang high, and the middle one is about ten zhang high. Under this hundred-foot cliff, it is also extremely hidden. If you don't jump off, you won't be able to notice it. When the monsoon came to the largest cave in the middle, he found that the cave wall was smooth and flat, and there were no traces of human excavation, as if it was formed naturally.
Monsoon shouted, and after a while, there was no echo. At a glance, the cave is pitch black, obviously unfathomable. From time to time, there are gusts of gloomy wind, which are extremely eerie and terrifying. Monsoon looked left and right and looked at the eight caves on either side. The distance between the caves was found to be roughly the same, and the size of the remaining eight caves was also basically the same.
Anyway, there is nowhere to go at the moment, and it just so happens that the desire for knowledge is committed again. Monsoon decided to go to this cave to find out. But the cave is pitch black and lightless, and there is nothing combustible around, how to illuminate?
Thinking of this, Monsoon forced his peculiar eyes to work. But since the power of the red star in his body was sealed, it seems that he can no longer find that feeling. Even the ability to heal wounds quickly from before was sealed.
He was unwilling, because that feeling had followed him for many years, and now it suddenly disappeared, and he was really a little unaccustomed. He patted his head, tentatively pooling the blood around his eyes, concentrating, desperately constricting his pupils.
For a moment, his eyes tingled, and he hurriedly covered it with his hand. When the pain subsided, the hands were slowly lowered. Looking into the cave, it was still pitch black. Looking at the bottom of the cave, you can faintly see a little heat on the road. It turned out that the hole was too deep, and looking at its center, of course, it was pitch black. But the road can still be seen.
Walking into the cave, he found that the cave extended infinitely downward, reaching deep underground. And the further you go inside, the more slippery the ground becomes.
Monsoon prayed inwardly, hoping that nothing would go wrong. At this moment, he was about to say the sentence "My luck shouldn't be too bad!", when he remembered the previous scene.
Every time he says this, he gets bad luck. At this moment, he was smart, but he silently thought in his heart: "My luck shouldn't be too ......"
"Ahh The whole person sat down at once and quickly slid to the bottom of the hole.
In this way, after nearly half an hour, I finally arrived at an extremely empty place. "Ah, why can't you even meditate? Monsoon rubbed his aching buttocks. It feels hot, and even the pants are worn out, revealing two big red butts.
Monsoon got up to check and found that although this place was also a cave, it was wide and abnormal. As soon as he took a few steps, his feet trembled with fright, and he hurriedly retreated. It turned out that there was a huge hole in front of him, deep and secluded. In the center of this cave, there is a rope that leads to an unknown distance. Monsoon pulled the rope, feeling strong and able to carry people, so he jumped with him and walked along the chain.
After walking for a long time, I still don't see the other side. Monsoon couldn't help but glance down, and suddenly, two huge red orbs appeared in the abyss under his feet, and he swiped his feet and dropped the chains. Fortunately, he came back to his senses and reached out in time to grab it, so as not to fall into this endless abyss. It had already taken half a day to slip into the hole, and it was slowly and smoothly sliding down. The hole at his feet seems to be deeper, and it goes vertically. If you fall into it, you don't know how long it will take. No matter how good it is, I'm afraid it will be broken. Even if they didn't fall to their death, those two huge red spheres were extremely scary, and I am afraid that they were not good.
A gust of cold wind came from the bottom of the cave, making people shiver. This is the depths of the earth, but it is a place of extreme cold, and when the cold wind blows, the monsoon wind shiveres all over. Suddenly, two huge red spheres disappeared. In Monsoon's heart, a very terrible conjecture appeared, "Could it be that this is a monster's cave! If so, what kind of monster is such a big and deep cave?" ”
Monsoon wants to turn back, but he has already walked so far, but he has not found anything, and when he goes back, he will have to walk for half a day, won't it be in vain to waste a day's effort? What if the end is not far ahead? What's more, his heart to explore the unknown realm can't be contained.
He was cautious and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that there would really be some monster in the abyss under his feet. If it is alarmed, it will be extremely difficult to escape from such a deep hole. After walking for a long time, I finally came to the other side of the giant cave. In front of him, there was another extremely empty place. Monsoon was surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a large space underground, it was like hollowing out the real underground world.
Looking around, there are a total of eight caves in the four places, which are basically the same size as the caves by the sea. "Could it be that the nine holes are connected?" Monsoon gave birth to another bold idea. To confirm, Monsoon casually entered a cave. This cave slowly extends upward, and there is a sea breeze blowing at the entrance of the cave, which is estimated to lead to the seaside.
Just as the monsoon was rejoicing, he suddenly felt a hissing sound behind him, which seemed to be not good. Suddenly, he felt a tingling pain in his bare thighs, and then his whole body was entangled in something.
A giant python more than five feet long sneaked in from the darkness. First, he bit the thighs of the monsoon, as if he was very interested in it. Or rather, it's too dazzling.
Then the whole body circled and wrapped around the monsoon. Monsoon was overwhelmed by the gravity of the python, and kicked with both feet, but he couldn't kick anything, and he couldn't focus on it. Every time he exhaled, the python tightened a point. "Click", he heard the sound of his ribs being squeezed and broken. At the same time, the ribs were broken, the entire chest cavity was tightened a lot, and the broken bones pierced into the heart and lungs, and the blood flow in the chest cavity was already non-stop.
Monsoon was scared and frightened in his heart. For he had never seen a serpent of this size, and now it was going to be its supper. He wanted to pull out his hand to interrupt the sword, but under this powerful winding force, his tendons tightened, and his five fingers couldn't be used, and the sword fell to the ground with the sheath and slid towards the bottom of the cave. As he exhaled again, the python tightened again. Monsoon blood rolled in his chest, and he spat out a lot of blood in his mouth. His eyes were bulging and bleeding. The nose and ears are also under this strong pressure, squeezing out wisps of blood alive. It can be said that the seven holes bleed.
