【Chapter 24】Underground River
With Xiao Li's scream, we saw that the two huge pangolins stopped eating ants and looked up at us. The two small eyes that were not very harmonious with their bodies were exposed! Under the illumination of the torch, a faint green light shot out, which made people feel furrowed in their hearts and goosebumps all over their body!
Just when we were frightened and didn't know what to do, the two big guys looked at us for a while, lowered their heads and started eating the soldiers' ants on their own!
"Oh----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's not that your meat is not delicious, but that the pangolins have no teeth, so how can they eat you!" said Mr. Liu with a big smile.
"No teeth? Boss, why didn't you say it earlier? It made me nervous for a while!"
"Its mouth is far from the size of a python, it is slender and slender. If it has no teeth, it will definitely not be able to eat people!"
"This is really great. Eating ants is not human! There are also such animals in the world. They really bring down one thing, don't you think?"
"Don't bother with the reason. As long as you don't eat us, it's a good thing. Have you noticed that those soldiers ants are eaten there without moving. Why don't you know how to run away? Silly guy!" I found that those soldiers ants not only did not run away, but also kept approaching the pangolin. They were really ready to die and went on one after another!
"You don't understand this, Brother Yanzhen!" Seeing that the danger had been eliminated, Boss Liu felt a lot more relaxed, so he patiently explained to us, "These ants are absolutely obedient to their mother, the queen of ant, and are desperately protecting them! Look, not only do they not run away, but also take the initiative to send them to the mouth of the pangolin, so that these two pangolins can get enough to walk away and avoid going in and hurting them! Alas! These little things are really even more than humans..."
After hearing what Boss Liu said, we couldn't help but respect these soldiers and ants: unity, bravery, fearlessness, and protect the queen with death. We are much better than us humans. Otherwise, there will be so many traitors, lackeys, and traitors now!
Just as we were sighing for these soldiers, the two huge pangolins seemed to be full. They raised their heads, looked at us for a few glances, and then shook them into the depths of the cave. The soldiers who had very little left to eat outside the cave did not rush towards us, but slowly entered the dark room where the queen of the ant lived.
"Hurry up, keep up with it!" Boss Liu pointed at the departing pangolin and greeted us.
"It makes sense! With the protection of pangolins, those desperate soldiers would not dare to do anything to us!" Goudan admired Boss Liu and said, "Boss Liu is really wise and can do it as a leader!"
"Stop flattering, brother Goudan, we are not the official materials! Besides, you guessed wrong this time. We followed the pangolins not to escape those soldiers. Guess what it is for?" Boss Liu kept it a secret.
"Boss, don't worry about me, be happy, and say what do you want to do with these two pangolins? Do you want to kill them and eat meat? This is so disgusting, I won't eat it!" The impatient fool thought that Boss Liu was going to hunt pangolins.
We all looked at Boss Liu and waited for his explanation. To be honest, I would rather be hungry than eat pangolins, which would make people feel nauseous. Besides, it is specialized in ants, and maybe it is poisonous!
"That's right. These pangolins, after eating so many soldiers, will definitely go to drink water soon. It just so happens that our kettle is almost gone. You may find the water source with it! Don't forget that there are fish in this hole, and there will definitely be water nearby!" Boss Liu always seems resourceful!
"This is really great. I have wanted to make some fish to taste it, so what else is it nonsense? Why don't you follow me quickly!" Dasha heard that there was water and fish, so he immediately took the lead in front of us.
It seems that the pangolins are quite timid. I don’t know if they are afraid of people or fire. Anyway, when we are following them with torches, it seems like we are very scared, and they run faster and faster. They run quickly, and we follow closely. Just like a race, we are zig-crossing in this dark cave, walking deep into the cave, one foot deep and one foot shallow. I don’t know whether the dark cave in front is heaven or not hell!
I don’t know how long I ran, but suddenly a pig-like thing rushed over us in front of me. At the moment of meeting, it was clearly the huge mouse we met before, holding a ruler-long fish in our mouth and running behind us.
"It's a fish, it's a fish!" Dasha was excited and ran forward faster!
At this moment, there were two loud "pop, plop" sounds, and the two pangolins in front suddenly disappeared from our eyes!
"It's so dangerous! I almost fell down!" Dasha came and braked suddenly, standing in front of Xiao Li waiting for the torch!
When we arrived, we saw that we were a few feet away from Dasha. The bottom of the cave suddenly sank. The black hole couldn't see clearly what was going on below, but we could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing by!
Xiao Li looked around with a torch for a while, and said happily, "There is really water here. Come on, this place is not steep and very strong. Let's go down and take a look!"
"Let's go down a little longer, I don't know what's going on below. If there is a giant python monster, then that's all?" It's not that I'm timid, but that there is a dark river suddenly appearing below this cave. It's so dark that I can't see clearly. Of course, it's better to be cautious. The old saying is not: Be careful to walk for a thousand years!
"What Yan Zhen said makes sense. Please observe it. There are black holes below, and there may be some monsters inside. You really can't be careless!" Boss Liu agreed with my point of view.
Goudan turned left and right, as if he was looking for something. Soon, he found a stone as big as a bowl, walked forward a few steps, and threw the stone down suddenly!
"Puuuu----" The sound was loud and echoed in the hole!
"It seems that the water below is very big and deep, it is not a spring or a stream at all, it is like a big river!" said Goudan confidently.
"How do you know it's a river, or it may be a big puddle!" I doubted Goudan's judgment.
"Impossible! There is a sound of water flowing. If it is a big puddle, the water should be stationary and will not flow constantly!" Goudan's analysis made sense, "From the sound of me smashing water with a stone just now, the water below should be very deep and the water surface should be very large!"
"That's right, Goudan is right!" Liu Boss also agreed with Goudan's analysis, "This is likely to be a dark river. When the flood on the mountain comes down, it pours in through the cave. Because the terrain in the cave is low, floods keep flowing in. Over time, a dark river will form in this cave. This is on the mountain in our hometown in Northeast China..."
"What you mean is that if there is too much water, you will rush down the river and rush out of the cave? Then let's go out with the water!" I don't want to go out from the entrance of the cave again, just go out to the cliff, and I don't know when I will go out. Instead of going back and forth, it's better for us to go out along the underground river!
"It's very likely! This water is flowing, and there will be an outlet. We'll go down immediately!" Boss Liu's recognition made me very satisfied with my analysis!
Just as we were about to go down, we could only hear the sound of "rattle" water sounding downwards. Under this black hole, no one knew what was going on!
