After observing the terrain, Ye Ming carried Su Xueling onto the single-plank bridge and walked over carefully. Then about twenty meters ahead, there was the cliff at the top of Silver Elephant Peak, which was about six stories high. The cliff was smooth and smooth.
There are only some weeds and moss on the top, and there are some scattered trees on the top. It looks extremely steep. It is impossible to climb up without climbing tools.
After putting Su Xueling down, Ye Ming looked to the left and right again: on the right was a sloping river bank, densely covered with shrubs, thorns and thatch, with no way to pass; on the left was a gentle slope, winding through
Toward the northwest side of Silver Elephant Peak. There are no trees or thorn forests on this gentle slope. It looks like a grassland. However, because it is winter, the grass on this grassland is a bit withered and yellow, lacking vitality and vitality.
Ye Ming pointed to the gentle slope on the left and said to Su Xueling: "Sister Ling, if we want to continue climbing, we can only go up the gentle slope on the left. However, this slope leads to the northwest. Even if we can continue to climb
Climb, in the end we can only climb to another peak of Boka Mountain, which is also a dead end. However, now we have no way to go, we can only run a few steps, at least we cannot sit here and wait for death. You
Sit here for now while I go explore the road."
After Su Xueling nodded "Yeah", Ye Ming climbed up the gentle slope along the bank of Dongta River. After climbing for about a thousand meters, a cliff more than thirty meters high suddenly appeared in front of him. This cliff
It is connected with the cliff of Silver Elephant Peak, completely blocking the way forward.
Ye Ming stared at the cliff in frustration for several minutes. Knowing that there was no way to go, he had no choice but to sigh, turn around and walk back.
When he was about to reach the single-plank bridge, Ye Ming saw a tall boulder under the cliff on the left, and wanted to climb up the boulder to see if Gong Pengju's men were catching up. So, he pushed aside the thatch and thorns blocking the road,
He walked under the boulder, used some of the edges and corners on the stone to climb to the top, then stood up straight and looked down at the path he and Su Xueling came up on.
Just as he expected: on the trail about 800 meters vertical distance from the top of Silver Elephant Peak, there were more than a dozen figures climbing up. These people were all armed with rifles or guns, and they must have been sent by Gong Pengju to chase him and
Su Xueling's. Judging from their current traveling speed, they will reach the peak in another hour at most...
When he saw the dozen or so armed pursuers, Ye Ming's heart couldn't help but sink. He felt that he was really doomed this time: Silver Elephant Peak could not be climbed, and there were dead ends on the left and right. Even if he could go to
Climbing more than a thousand meters in the northwest direction, you will eventually be trapped by another cliff, and you will not be able to escape the fate of being hunted!
However, despite his anxiety, Ye Ming did not panic. Instead, he stood on the top of the stone and began to look around to see if there was any place where he could hide temporarily.
When he cast his gaze to the northwest side of the boulder, his eyes suddenly widened: on a gentle grassland about 20 meters to the left of the boulder, a circular hole with a diameter of about five meters appeared, just like that piece of grass.
A sinkhole opened up.
Ye Ming quickly jumped down from the boulder, and ran to the entrance of the sinkhole-like hole in three steps. He looked down and saw that the hole was vertically downward, about three meters down from the entrance.
, suddenly became wider. By taking photos from the entrance of the cave,
From the bright light that shines in, you can see that there is a large cave below. This circular hole is actually a "skylight" caused by the collapse of the top of the cave or other reasons. From the "skylight" to the bottom of the cave, the height is about twenty
rice.
What surprised Ye Ming was that in the center of the bottom of the cave, there was an underground river flowing. This underground river ran from northwest to southeast, and there was a curve just under the "skylight" that turned towards the belly of Silver Elephant Peak. From
Therefore, Ye Ming judged that this underground river originated from the northwest direction of his current location, that is, the upper reaches of Dongta River.
Ye Ming once had the experience of escaping from a cave. As soon as he saw the underground river in the cave, he immediately had great hope in his heart: Although it was impossible for him and Su Xueling to descend into the cave from this "skylight", as long as they escaped in the east
If you find the source of the underground river in the cave on the upper reaches of the Ta River, you might be able to dive into the cave from the source.
Judging from the direction of the underground river, this cave is likely to cross the Silver Elephant Peak from west to east, and there is likely to be an exit on the other side. As long as you find the exit over there, you can escape from the sphere of influence of Sun Zhicheng and Gong Pengju, and you and yourself
Su Xueling was saved...
Thinking of this, the depression and despair in his heart were instantly swept away. He lay down at the entrance of the cave, used his super eyesight to carefully observe the direction of the underground river, and then raised his head to the northwest.
While watching, I was silently calculating where the underground river would be connected to the Dongta River.
After a few minutes of visual inspection and estimation, Ye Ming climbed up from the entrance of the cave and excitedly climbed back up the gentle slope along the bank of the Dongta River.
When he returned to the cliff he had just seen, he carefully observed the Dongta River and found that there was a waterfall under the cliff and a circular pool under the waterfall. At the bottom of the stone wall on the east side of the pool, there was
There is a slanted hole that goes deep into the mountain. The water in the pool flows along the slanted hole into the stone wall.
When he saw the slanted hole embedded in the stone wall, Ye Ming was so excited that his face flushed: If his estimate was correct, the slanted hole embedded in the stone wall on the east side of the pool should be the one he just saw.
The source of the underground river. That is, the cave is connected to this pool. As long as you drill through the inclined hole, you will reach the cave that passes through the Silver Elephant Peak!
In order to verify his judgment, Ye Ming immediately stepped on the thatch on the river bank and went down to the pool. He found that except for the deep water where the waterfall fell, the rest of the pool was in shallow water, with only half a meter of water.
You can reach the inclined cave without swimming.
So he took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and walked to the entrance of the sloping hole. He lowered his head and looked inside. He saw a stream of water flowing from the pool slowly flowing into the stone wall. Although the water flow was very strong,
But there is no rush, and the height of the inclined hole is just enough for an adult to walk inside.
After carefully observing the direction of the inclined cave, Ye Ming concluded: This is the source of the underground river in the cave, and you can definitely enter the cave from this inclined cave.
Chapter completed!
