Chapter 146 The Mystery of Longevity ([-])
It was a hollow sculpture the size of a fist, and there was a faintly shining thing swimming inside it.The thing was about the size of a thumb, with an orange light shining all over its body, like a bug or a hedgehog curled up in a ball.The lines of the hollow sculpture are made into the shape of capillaries, interlaced and horizontally stacked, and the largest hole is not as thick as half a finger. No wonder the thing inside can't fall out.
This thing looks like gold but not gold, and when you pick it up and hang it on the dagger, you can't feel its weight at all.
"Xiao Qi, what is this?"
"Hey, this thing is so strange, it's the first time I've seen it in this system."
Xiang Wan was speechless. There was something 007 didn't know. She seriously suspected that this unreliable system was trying to fool her.
"Forget it, anyway, it's in my hands, it doesn't matter what it is."
Xiang Wan took out a bandage from his backpack, wrapped the hollow ball and put it in his pocket.
Things have already been obtained, how to get out has become a problem.She tapped on the four walls for a while, but found nothing.He followed the cracks in the wall and observed on the floor tiles under his feet.Holding a dagger, she pried along the cracks of the bricks one by one. Near the center, she found a floor brick that was a little loose.She concentrated and held her breath, tapped the tail of the dagger lightly, and heard a hollow sound.
There is a door!
She cheered up instantly, took out the mountaineering pick and put it aside, pried the stone brick out a little with a dagger, then poked the pointed end of the mountaineering pick into the gap, and pushed it hard, and the stone brick was lifted away.A dark hole appeared in front of his eyes, about two feet square, surrounded by potholes suitable for stepping in.
Xiang Wan lay on the edge of the cave, and shone a flashlight into it, but it couldn't reach the end, and there seemed to be a turning point.She lit the lighter, and stretched out her hand to test the hole. Seeing that the flame did not shrink and the smoke floated upwards, she knew that there was a vent in the cave.
After tidying up his equipment, Xiang Wan threw a fluorescent stick down, and rubbed it down little by little.
The foot of the cave was covered with dust, and Xiang Wan climbed down, being rubbed with dust from time to time.After walking about ten meters, the cave began to slope to the right.Xiang Wan took out his flashlight and took a picture inside, but he still couldn't see the bottom.She didn't dare to be careless, she had to use her feet to confirm the landing place every time she took a step.According to the touch from her hand, the soil around the cave seems to be showing signs of dampness.If she guessed correctly, the exit should be an underground lake or river.
The further down you go, the stronger the smell of damp.Xiang Wan took out the climbing pick and put it in her hand to prevent her feet from slipping. She didn't want to fall into the water, who knew what creatures would be in it.
It turned out that she was right.After turning down an unknown number of turns, the surroundings of the cave were as slippery as if waxed.She accidentally slipped on the sole of her foot and slid down and out.She hurriedly plunged into the soil of the cave with a climbing pick, and finally stabilized after sliding for more than ten meters.She turned her head and looked behind, okay, the exit was less than a meter away from the soles of her feet, and it seemed that she could still hear the sound of water coming from below.
so close!
Xiang Wan slowly moved down, and finally found a foothold by the entrance of the cave.She stretched out her feet slowly, shifting her weight to that end little by little.After standing still, he took out a fluorescent stick and threw it down, only to see a turbulent river stretching far away 20 meters below his feet.There were holes like this all around the river, like a beehive, which scared Xiang Wan a lot.How did she feel, as if she had entered some animal's lair.
He was really afraid that something would happen, so Xiang Wan didn't have time to make adjustments when he saw a big head protruding from the hole not far away, like a large lizard, staring intently at the river.After a while, a big fish jumped up, and the lizard opened its big mouth. Before it could see the movement clearly, the big fish changed direction and went directly into the lizard's big mouth before falling into the water.
Xiang Wan held her breath, not even daring to let out the air.If you let it happen to you all at once, you will die.
She silently waited for the big lizard to fill its stomach, and when it retracted into the hole and did not come out again, Xiang Wan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw densely packed lizard heads protruding from the surroundings, all looking at it intently. river water.
These lizards were not as big as the first one, but they were not small either.The smallest one is as thick as a human's thigh, and the bigger one is thicker than a human being.Nima, can you still have fun?Xiang Wan's legs went limp, it was too scary!
"Ten meters below, there is a hole to enter."
The system will come over to give Xiang Wan the way, is it useful?She is not a bird, she can fly down by spreading her wings.
"Are you playing with me?"
"I'm not kidding you, it's true!"
The system swears so strongly that Xiang Wan almost wants to spit on it.If she had known how dangerous it was down here, she would not have gone here.
"This is the shortest road to the end, there is no one."
"The key is how do I get down!"
"This system believes in you and will definitely find the way."
That's enough, Zhu'er, who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, can't help at critical moments.
At this moment, Xiang Wan only hoped that her place was high enough that the lizards couldn't see her.When they are full, it will not be too late to act on their own.
She just looked at the bunch of lizards silently, hunting one by one, not daring to relax at all.Finally, after they all retracted back to the entrance of the cave, he carefully took out the rope, found a protruding rock, gently knotted the rope and tied it, and put the other end on his waist, bit by bit next to the entrance of the cave. Click to slide down.
There was a lot of moisture from the water surface, and Xiang Wan's clothes and backpack were soaked in a short while, and he felt a lot heavier.She was moving down with all her strength, otherwise her little arms and legs would have been unable to support them long ago.
Fortunately, during the descent, no other caves were seen, which gave me a little more psychological comfort.
It's about to reach the cave in the mouth of the system, two feet, one foot, ten inches, two inches, no, the rope is put on the head.She wants to cry but has no tears. Is there anything more bitter than this?Her feet are just that far from the hole, and if it's the bottom of the hole, she can fall freely.The point is, she is two inches away from the top of the hole, and she will definitely fall in free fall. Is there anything more sad than this?
There is really no other way, it can't hang like this all the time, and become the lizard's lunch.She leaned close to the wall at the entrance of the cave, fixed her body with a climbing pick, then untied the rope around her waist, grasped it vigorously with one hand, and slid the climbing pick down the wall with the other hand, and then pressed in hard to fix it. live.
Half of his body was hanging over the hole, and the rope had already been put on his head.Xiang Wan took out the climbing pick, stretched her into the cave, and hung her on the cave wall. After counting one, two, three in her heart, she let go of the rope, pulled the pick hard, and fell into the cave.
With a "bang", Xiang Wan fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.She didn't dare to stay, suppressed her physical discomfort, and immediately ran deeper into the cave.
