Unknowingly, we walked around the cave for almost half an hour, but found nothing. Moreover, the cave was full of damp environment. Wen Qingshan couldn't help but once again doubted the claim that the treasure was hidden in ** Rock.
He stopped and said: "This cave is so humid that it is not suitable for hiding gold and silver. In my opinion, the treasure may not be hidden in it."
Seabeard also said: "I also think it is unlikely that it is hidden here. If there is really a large amount of gold and silver in this cave, it is impossible that the metal detector will not react at all."
"Isn't it said that the spirit snake protects the treasure? If the treasure is not here, where will it be hidden?" Huang Yixian asked.
Wen Qingshan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's go look inside again. If we really can't find it, go to Feibat Rock to look for it!"
We walked for about ten minutes more, and there was a faint sound of running water in front of us. It sounded like the sound of a river flowing. I was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly remembered that Bai Xiaowu once said,**
Not only is the rock very humid, but there is also an underground river, which must be right ahead.
As we continued to go deeper, the sound of the water became louder and louder. After we turned a sharp bend of almost 90 degrees, an underground river four to five meters wide with very fast currents lay in front of us.
Although I had already thought of it as an underground river, I never imagined that it would be such a big underground river. Others were also shocked.
After being stunned for a moment, Wen Qingshan turned to everyone and said, "Let's go! Let's go downstream along this underground river to have a look."
The group of people walked along the river downstream.
The river is located in a cave that extends downward at an oblique angle. As you go downstream, the cave gradually narrows, making the water flow more turbulent. Gradually, the cave becomes only two or three meters wide, and both sides of the river are completely lost.
There's still a way to go.
Wen Qingshan looked inside the cave, frowned and said, "There seems to be a waterfall ahead! If you listen carefully, you can hear the roar of the waterfall."
After hearing what he said, I listened carefully, and sure enough, through the "crash" of the torrent, I could vaguely hear the "rumbling" sound.
"There is actually a waterfall in this cave?" Seabeard was a little surprised.
"Whatever he has! We can't go any further now, let's go back and take a look." Huang Yixian looked a little discouraged.
Everyone turned around and was about to leave when Jianjian suddenly yelled "Ouch". He stepped on a loose stone, slipped and fell into the fast river. Seeing that he was about to be washed away by the river, I hurriedly
I stretched out my hand to pull him, but who knew that instead of pulling him to the shore, I was also taken into the river.
The two of us were swept downstream by the rapids. I stretched out my hands desperately toward the shore, trying to grab rocks or something to stabilize myself, but the cave wall was very smooth and there was nothing for me to grab onto.
The cave became narrower and narrower, and the water flow became more and more turbulent. The two of us were rushed out of the cave almost without any obstruction, and we fell rapidly down a vertical waterfall. My mind went blank for an instant and I couldn't think at all.
So much, I just held my breath subconsciously.
The moment I fell into the water, I felt dizzy due to the strong impact of the current, and my body sank directly into the water.
Fortunately, I did not lose consciousness, and the vertical waterfall actually formed a circulation in the water. Before my body sank to the bottom, it floated upward with the rising circulation. When I fell into the water just now, I was not
I held my breath when I had time to take a deep breath. Now I couldn't hold it anymore. As soon as I surfaced, I opened my mouth and took in a few mouthfuls of fresh air, and then hurriedly swam to the side.
After swimming not far, my feet seemed to touch the bottom of the water. I tried to stand up straight in the water, and found that the water depth was only up to my waist and abdomen. It turned out that the water just below the waterfall was deeper. I felt relieved for a long time.
Suddenly I thought of Jianjian and turned around quickly. Fortunately, he had already swam out and was following me.
We were panting heavily, supporting each other in the water, raised our heads and looked around, and found that this was a large cave hall, hundreds of square meters in size. There was water everywhere in the cave hall, almost forming a
An underground lake, and the waterfall we fell down is about four or five meters high. The waterfall rushed out from a cave with a diameter of less than two meters. The strong impact formed a huge white water column, which looked like
It's like a city sewer pipe is releasing water into the river.
The two of us were staring at the water column and wondering how to go back. Suddenly, several bright lights rushed out of the water column and fell straight down the waterfall.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that they must have been worried about us, so they came down together.
Soon, Huang Yixian emerged from the water, followed by Wen Qingshan and Hai Huzi.
We rushed to meet them and brought them to the shallow water.
The three of them were well prepared and all wore oxygen masks. Huang Yixian took off the mask and asked eagerly: "Are you okay!?"
"Aren't we doing well! Why are you all down here?" Jianjian asked.
Huang Yixian glared at Jianjian fiercely and cursed: "You bastard! Can I leave you two alone!" Although the tone of his words was harsh, hearing it made people feel warm in their hearts.
Seabeard glanced around and said, "I didn't expect there to be a cave below!"
Huang Yixian raised his head and glanced at the water column flowing down, and said: "I'm afraid it's better not to think about going back the way we came. Let's find another way."
I caught a glimpse of a piece of land not far away, pointed my hand towards it, and said, "There is a piece of land there. Let's go ashore first. Don't stand in the water."
We swam toward the shore. After a few steps, I suddenly felt something hit me on the crook of my leg. I thought it was a kick from Jianjian who was following me, so I turned around and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Jianjian looked confused: "I'm fine!"
"Then why did you kick me?"
"When did I kick you?" As soon as he finished speaking, I felt something hit me on the crook of my leg. I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly my mind suddenly flashed: "There is something in the water!"
When Jianjian heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "It...could it be the Black Water Black Snake?"
Jianjian and I looked at each other, not caring so much, and quickly accelerated our pace, and everyone else hurriedly followed.
Fortunately, our location was not far from the land, and we soon reached the shore. I turned around and saw that Wen Qingshan was still standing in the water. He seemed to have discovered something. He lowered his head and stared closely.
Landing on the water.
Huang Yixian hurriedly shouted: "Boss Wen! Come up quickly!"
Wen Qingshan raised his head slightly, put his index finger next to his mouth to signal us to be quiet, then lowered his head again and continued to stare at the water.
I suddenly thought of something and whispered: "No, Boss Wen must have been trapped in the water by the black water snake!" As soon as I finished speaking, a ripple suddenly appeared in the water next to Wen Qingshan,
It seemed like something was swimming quickly under the water.
Upon seeing this, Seabeard immediately took out the flare gun and pointed it at the rippled water.
Soon after, Wen Qingshan suddenly stretched out his hand into the water, and the water surface immediately began to churn violently.
Everyone was stunned. What happened? Could it be that Wen Qingshan was planning to subdue the Black Water Black Snake with his bare hands? While everyone was thinking, Wen Qingshan caught a gray-brown fish from the water, raised it high above his head, and laughed.
Then he said: "There is indeed something under the water, and it is this thing."
He brought the fish ashore, and we all gathered around it curiously. The fish was quite big, more than a foot long. It was quite smooth and had no scales. It looked a bit like a catfish. What was surprising was that
, it actually grew limbs. And when it opened its mouth, I even saw sharp and dense teeth all over its mouth.
The fish screamed "wow" twice, and Huang Yixian smiled and said: "It turns out to be a giant salamander!"
"Is this a giant salamander? Why is it so big?" I was a little surprised. In fact, I have never seen a giant salamander before. When I was a child, there was a sale of baby salamanders that were only about one centimeter long in front of our school. I even bought one once.
There were a few fish, but unfortunately they died within a few days of being kept in a basin. As for the adult salamanders, this was the first time for me and Jianjian to see them.
Wen Qingshan said: "This is not that big. The giant salamander is the largest among amphibians. The longest one is nearly two meters long and the heaviest one is more than 100 kilograms." At this point, he turned to Huang Yixian.
Asked: "Master Huang, what do you think of this giant salamander?"
Huang Yixian chuckled and said: "This giant salamander weighs five or six kilograms, which is enough for us to have a good meal tonight! You don't know, the meat of this thing is so tender. When braised in braise, it is simply the best."
Delicious! Hehe!”
After hearing what Huang Yixian said, Wen Qingshan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He probably never expected that Huang Yixian was just thinking about the delicious taste of the giant salamander.
After a while, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Haha, it's not easy for the creatures in this cave to grow so big. Let's be merciful and let them go." After that, he took the giant salamander in his hand and released it.
Placed on the shore near the lake, the giant salamander immediately used the power of its limbs to quickly crawl into the lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Huang Yixian saw this, he couldn't help but sighed: "Hey, what a pity! We didn't find the treasure, and now we are trapped in this cave again. Even the giant salamander can't have a good meal."
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, Master Huang is really good at joking! In fact, this giant salamander showed us a way out."
