Jianjian and I quickened our pace, and after walking forward for a short distance, a rather spacious cave appeared in front of us. This cave was six meters wide and five or six meters high, and it was
In the center of this tunnel, there is an underground river about three to four meters wide.
Because the terrain inside the cave is relatively flat and the water in the underground river is relatively gentle, I took a flashlight to look at it. The water didn't look very deep and was crystal clear. Some transparent white fish about an inch long could be seen in the water.
.
I was staring at the water when suddenly a white light flashed on the bottom of the water near the river bank a few meters in front of us. I must have accidentally illuminated something when I was shaking the flashlight, and the light was reflected.
Out of curiosity, I quickly walked forward and took a flashlight to look at the bottom of the water. I saw a pulled out dagger lying quietly on the crystal clear river bed.
I couldn't help being slightly startled, and quickly rolled up my sleeves, bent down, reached into the water, and fished out the dagger from the bottom of the water.
"Brother, what are you fishing for?" Jianjian saw me fishing something out of the water and asked hurriedly.
I waved the dagger in my hand in front of him and said, "It's a dagger!"
"Dagger!?" Jianjian immediately came over.
I took the dagger and took a closer look. It was an American Advance military dagger. It was expensive and difficult to buy in China. Only professional outdoor adventurers would use this dagger. The dagger looked very new.
Although I did not pay attention to whether Wen Qingshan and others used this kind of dagger, what is certain is that the dagger was most likely dropped by one of them.
I raised my head and looked around, frowned and said, "It seems that Boss Wen and the others must have passed by here before, and they must have encountered something, so they pulled out the daggers."
"How do you know this dagger belongs to Boss Wen and his friends? Maybe it was dropped here by a local herdsman?" Jianjian said.
I shook my head: "This is unlikely. On the one hand, the Gesang Valley is a forbidden area for local herdsmen, and they generally will not come here easily. On the other hand, this is an American advance military dagger. It is expensive, and seems to cost thousands."
U.S. dollars. It is impossible for local herdsmen to own such a high-end dagger. I have never seen Boss Wen use it. It must belong to Brother Hai or Brother Basang. They were both born as special forces and both like adventure. Only they are willing to do so.
Spend a lot of money to buy this high-end dagger."
While we were talking, there were several "squeaks" not far away. I quickly took a flashlight and looked forward. However, there was a large stone several meters wide lying next to the river bed, which just blocked my view. I didn't know
What exactly is behind the stone?
Jianjian lowered her voice and said, "Why does it sound like a rat's cry to me!"
I said: "Rat is everywhere, maybe it is really a rat, let's go! Let's go and take a look!"
We walked slowly towards the big rock.
As we got closer and closer to the big rock, we heard a rustling sound, and the movement seemed quite small. It seemed that there was indeed something behind the big rock.
I subconsciously clenched the dragon tooth in my hand, and Jianjian and I quietly approached the big rock.
Just when we were still four or five meters away from the big rock, a black shadow suddenly jumped from behind the big rock to the top of the stone. When we took a closer look, we couldn't help but be startled.
It was really a mouse, but this was no ordinary mouse, but a huge giant rat without a tail. Its body length was estimated to be one meter, which was comparable to the size of a medium-sized dog.
I have never seen such a big rat. In my memory, the largest rats I encountered were the rats encountered in the Evil Stone Tomb. Those rats were more than twice as big as ordinary rats, but they were not as big as the one in front of me.
Compared to the giant rat, it still pales in comparison.
The giant rat must have been afraid of light. Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, it lay motionless on the big rock. Its eyes were blood red and it looked a bit sinister. After a while, the giant rat suddenly "squeaked"
He screamed, jumped down, and returned behind the big rock. Then, there were several squeaks coming from behind the big rock. It seemed that there was more than one giant rat.
After a rapid rustling sound, the surrounding area became quiet. Except for the underground river next to it, which was still flowing quietly, I hardly heard any other sounds.
The giant rat must have escaped. I was stunned for a moment before I came back to my senses. I was still a little shocked and said, "Holy crap, how could there be such a big rat!"
"It must be a mutation, right? This ghost place is really evil."
We waited for a while, but still didn't hear any movement.
I took a deep breath and lowered my voice and said, "I'll go over and take a look first." I held the dragon's teeth tightly and walked slowly towards the big rock.
The height of this big stone was about 1.56 meters, which just blocked my sight. Because I was worried that there was a giant rat hidden behind the big stone, when I got closer, I didn't dare to climb over the big stone rashly, but stood on tiptoes first.
, stuck his head and took a look behind the big rock.
When I looked at it, the scene in front of me was so shocking that I was speechless.
Behind the big stone, there was actually the corpse of a maroon horse. The corpse had been chewed to pieces and the flesh was bloody. There were also three deep wounds on its neck, one of which actually slit its throat.
, blood flowed all over the ground.
This horse was ridden by Seabeard. I didn’t expect it to die here. I was stunned for a while before I realized what I was doing. I quickly turned over and jumped over the big rock in front of me. I turned around and said to Jianbian: "Bianqian."
Damn it, come here and take a look!"
Jianjian came over immediately. When he saw the situation in front of him, he was also shocked.
He said in surprise: "Holy crap! What's going on! Could it be those big rats that killed the horse?"
I shook my head and said: "Those giant rats are relatively large, but they should not be able to attack and kill a horse. The horse should have been killed by something else. Those giant rats
The rats were just gnawing at its carcass."
"Did the snow monster do it?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, but...the three wounds on this horse's neck are a bit strange." I said with a frown.
"What's so strange?" Jianjian was puzzled.
"Think about it, if a snow monster attacked the horse, how could it cause such wounds?" I asked.
"What's the matter? The snow monster is so strong, it could even twist the horse's neck off!" Jianjian said disapprovingly.
"If the horse's neck was really twisted off, then it's really possible that it was done by a snow monster. But the problem is that these three wounds seem to have been made by some sharp weapon. Moreover, the black horse outside the cave also had three wounds on its abdomen.
Such scars give me the feeling that they are either man-made or scratched by something with sharp claws!"
"It was scratched by sharp claws?" Jianjian was a little surprised: "Are the claws of the snow monster so powerful?" He seemed to have determined that it was the snow monster.
I said: "No matter how sharp the snow monster's claws are, it should not cause such deep wounds. Moreover, the livestock attacked by the snow monster before did not leave such scars, so I don't think it may be the snow monster."
of."
After hearing what I said, Jianjian looked at me with wide eyes and asked blankly: "Brother, what do you mean? Is it possible that there are other monsters in this cave?"
I nodded: "I think this is more likely!"
Jianjian lowered his head and took a closer look at the scars on the neck of the horse corpse, and said in surprise: "Holy crap, if the wound on this horse's neck was really scratched by some monster's claws, then how big must the monster's claws be!"
?”
I looked around vigilantly and said, "This cave is a bit evil. Even the rats are so big. Maybe there are other scary monsters. We'd better be careful."
As soon as I finished speaking, there suddenly came another rustling sound in front of me, accompanied by squeaks one after another. I quickly raised the flashlight and looked forward. I couldn't help being surprised. It turned out to be a large group of giant rats.
They rushed towards us. Moreover, these giant rats seemed completely unaffected by the bright light and just ran forward. Seeing that the giant rats were getting closer and closer to us, we didn’t care so much and turned around.
Run back.
However, the giant rat was much faster than the two of us, and it soon caught up with us. The giant rat at the front was only three to five meters away from us. I turned around and took a look, and found that the giant rat seemed to be afraid of water.
, just running along the river bank,
I didn't dare to walk in the water. I immediately had an idea and shouted: "Go to the river quickly!" After saying that, I jumped into the river. It took me a moment to realize what I meant.
, also quickly jumped into the river.
The river was not very deep, and the water level was only a little above my knees. Seeing the swarms of rats, I was originally worried that the giant rats would jump into the river and attack us. However, what I didn't expect was that,
The swarm of rats didn't even stop beside us, they rushed over and continued to run forward. Not a single giant rat even turned to look at us.
I couldn't help but be slightly startled, then turned around and saw that no giant rat was eating the horse's carcass. It seemed that the rats were neither attacking us nor food, and I didn't know why they were so crazy.
flee.
Nearly a hundred giant rats jumped past the two of us. Looking at the group of rats getting further away, Jianjian said in shock: "I... holy shit, this... this is a fucking rat nest."
Well, why are there so many giant rats!"
We stood in the river and waited for a long time, until we could hardly hear the noise of the rats anymore, and then we dared to return to the shore again.
