Chapter 118: Into the Den of the Bats
Since the donkey couldn't get out by himself, Jiang Chanji arranged, "You stay outside, and I will go into the cave with Senior Sister Meow." ”
Chen Yiyi frowned, she thought that Miao was unreliable, and wanted to go in with him by herself.
"There have to be people outside. We don't know if the bats have gone into the cave just now, and if they are foraging outside, they must be prevented from returning to the nest, so when we enter the hole, we must block the entrance of the cave with debris, and when we come out, you can remove the debris. I'll tie the rope around my waist, and if I get in trouble, you'll have to be outside to help pull me out as well. He explained, "You can't ask Senior Sister Meow for this kind of thing, she is not reliable." ”
Chen Yiyi was persuaded and nodded in agreement.
As he spoke and waited, he tossed the small box of catnip back and forth between his left and right hands, and Mio followed him in circles, completely oblivious to his disparagement.
The ranger had alcohol in his cabin, and he made a makeshift torch out of strips of rubbing and twigs coated with alcohol, but it was not lit and was kept for backup.
When he was ready, he burrowed into the hole, and Mio followed him with the scent.
When they all entered, Chen Yiyi blocked the entrance to the cave.
This is a gap in the mountain, Jiang Chanji turned on his flashlight, staring intently at the darkness ahead, in such a narrow gap, if the bats suddenly flew out in a swarm, it was really unavoidable, so he had to pass as soon as possible - if this situation really appeared, he would immediately wake up Senior Sister Mio, hoping that after she became a beast, she would explode and kill in all directions, otherwise there would be a dead end.
He believed in Mio's strength, as long as she overcame her fear under the desire to survive, it would not be a problem to beat these low-level extraordinary bats.
The air was muddy and stuffy, and there was an unpleasant smell, and it was as if I was going to hell all the way down the crack, and the psychological pressure was very great.
Fortunately, the fissure was not too long, but it was rugged and difficult, and it felt very long, and after walking for about ten minutes, he and Miao arrived at the flat land - it is said that it is flat land, how can there be flat land inside the mountain?
What looks like soil under their feet is actually thick bat droppings, which accumulate layer by layer to form a flat ground, and the feet feel like soft dirt when stepping on them.
Ahead lies a hollow in the interior of the mountain, stalactites of varying lengths fall from the top of the cave, craggy stalagmites rise from the ground, the air is humid, muggy, and filled with the smell of rancidity, which makes people nauseous, but they can barely breathe.
When the astigmatism of the flashlight illuminated the roof of the cave, Jiang Chanji's scalp was numb, because there were dense bats hanging on the roof of the cave, which looked like patches of black moths from a distance.
If these bats were all extraordinary animals, then he and Miao would probably have to die here today, but that was obviously impossible, the number of extraordinary animals was not so large, and the proportion in the animal group was very low, these bats should all be ordinary bats, and most of them were juvenile bats, like rats with wings.
Bats are social animals, and different species of bats can also share the same cave, and it is said that some large bat caves are inhabited by several bats, and the total number can reach 100,000 or even more than 1 million.
There weren't that many bats in this cave, but there were a conservative estimate of tens of thousands, and he had to watch out for a tiny small number of them that lived by sucking blood.
He didn't dare to shoot a flashlight directly at them so as not to disturb them, even if it was a few thousand ordinary bats flying around in the cave, the scene was terrifying enough.
These normal bats do not actively attack humans, humans are not on their food list, and they instinctively avoid humans.
"Donkey, where are you?" he whispered.
"I'm here ......" the voice came from between a few stalagmites not far away.
The stalagmites were crooked, as if a wisdom tooth had been squeezed out of between two normal teeth, and as a result, the two normal teeth were also squeezed crookedly, forming a depression in the middle that could only accommodate them.
In the depression, there is a gray-faced boy curled up, with bat feces on his face and body, if this look is seen by the green flowers outside, it is estimated that he will not want to see him again in this life.
Jiang Chanji untied the rope from his waist, let the donkey pull him, and dragged him out of the stalagmite.
The donkey was terrified, he had been frightened, but fortunately the ground was full of thick bat, otherwise he would have broken his head and bled all the way down from the hole, and now he only broke his foot, and there were a few scrapes on his face and hands, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Jiang Chanji tied the rope around his waist and asked him to pull the rope to climb out of the cave with his strength, and when he climbed to the entrance of the cave, someone naturally responded.
The donkey was stunned, he thought that these two "little sisters" would definitely go out with him, and they carried him out on the left and right, enjoying the blessings of all people, but he didn't expect to let him climb out by himself?
"The entrance to the cave is narrow, it is impossible for the two of them to go together, you get out as soon as possible, we still have something to do." Jiang Chanji had a cold face, and never gave him any room for bargaining, "It's not our task to save you, it's just by the way, if you are willing to stay, we don't object, wait until we finish the task and then take you out, you can do it yourself." ”
The bear child of the donkey fell into this field, it was completely his own doing, under the pretext of helping Cuihua find a lamb, he actually wanted to be in the limelight and become an Internet celebrity, and tricked Cuihua into giving him a video, if he didn't give him a little bitterness, he wouldn't remember the lesson.
The donkey refused to stay, and wanted to leave this terrible place a second earlier, so he gritted his teeth and pulled the rope, jumped to the exit with one limp foot, and climbed with the rope where it was really difficult to walk.
Waiting for the figure of the donkey to disappear into the crack, Jiang Chanji closed the catnip box.
"Gross!"
Mio regained consciousness and immediately turned blue from the smell of bat droppings.
"What does this smell like! It's disgusting! Woo......" She was about to shout, but her mouth was covered by Jiang Chanji.
"Shhhh ”
Bats rely on ultrasound for positioning, and their hearing range is mainly concentrated in high frequencies, so they cannot hear when they speak in low and slow voices.
Mio's eyes sparkled in the darkness, and she looked around in horror, she saw those dense bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave, her scalp tingling, Jiang Chanji covered her mouth, and felt her hair and the hairs on her face explode.
When she realized the situation a little, he gestured again to silence him, and then let go.
"This ...... What the hell is this place, and how did I get here?" Mio asked, trembling.
"Ahem! This is in the cave, I don't know what's going on with you, I saw you walking this way, in order to protect Sister Meow, I had to follow...... Anyway, let's put this matter aside for now, let's find a way to get out first. ”
