That's right, those big lizards crawling around are exactly the same as the ones we met in the cave. These guys are soaking in this huge ring-shaped quagmire that is ten meters wide.
There are some ring-shaped things on their backs, and an iron chain on them is thicker than an arm. To my surprise, the other ends of these iron chains are not tied to anything like stakes.
The other end of it is holding a large iron ball whose mass can be measured in "tons" by visual inspection!
In the middle of the iron ball is a hollowed-out round hole. In the round hole, a semi-circular iron ring tightly binds the iron ball and the chain. When the giant lizards move, the iron balls behind them look like a wheel.
Rolling forward with the same gurgling sound.
This situation reminded me of the situation in the village where donkeys were led to press rollers, except that these monitor lizards were covered in mud and their color had long been lost.
"Is this where you came up?" I looked up at the stone platform opposite the quagmire. I said to her with a wry smile. Ding Ling huddled in his arms and opened his mouth without knowing what to say. I put it down and took a look.
The surrounding environment, at the entrance of the cave, the mud on the ground has become much drier.
From this point of view, these caves seem to be used to fill this place with water. When it rains, the surrounding water will pour in from the caves, thus keeping the mire from being too dry.
But the strange thing is that I have never found the entrance that is supposed to be used for filling water.
I tried to lean out from the cave entrance, turned around and saw that there was another cave entrance about ten meters away, and about one meter between the cave and the quagmire, there happened to be a foot-wide
Although the platform is irregular, it looks like it can be climbed.
Looking around again, there was nowhere to go. I looked at the monitor lizards lying in the mud like crocodiles waiting for us to go down, and suddenly I had an idea. I was wondering if the two I met when I came here were from here.
What about those who escaped inside?
If so, then...there must be some exit from this quagmire. I looked around and found nothing, but there was an obvious gap on the stone platform of the cave next door.
Let’s try it first.
Thinking of this, I walked over with Ding Ling on my back, but the stone platform was very narrow. One had to be careful when walking alone. It was even more difficult to carry this girl on my back. I untied my belt and tied myself with her.
Fortunately, the belt is long enough, otherwise it would be a problem.
"How are you? Can you hold on?" A rather charming little face was pressed against my ear, and I could clearly feel her body temperature. This girl has a bit of a bad temper, and this quietness is easier to accept.
some.
After hearing what I said, she muttered something, and I didn't hear it clearly because her voice was too soft. In fact, the bigger reason is still with me. I didn't have the heart to listen to what she was saying. I just wanted to know if this girl was dead.
.Climbing from one cave to another
, is definitely the most arduous journey I have walked in these years. I spread my hands on the stone wall and slowly crawled to one side like a moth. On one hand, I was worried about being pulled down by the Ding Ling hanging in the air, and on the other
Also be careful whether the stone platform is fragile or collapses.
When I almost fell in for the sixth time, I finally reached the cave on the other side. As soon as I got in, I laughed out loud. This cave was dry. No matter whether I could get out or not, at least I could.
Find a place to rest for a while.
I got into the cave, opened my dark eyes and looked into the cave. The cave looked a little weird, but there were neither ghosts nor monsters in it, anything related to dirty things. I felt relieved.
, I put Ding Ling down.
I touched her forehead, and it was still frighteningly hot. There was no place for a bird to poop, and there was no place to fetch water. Thinking about it, I felt very angry, so I put her aside and walked in the cave.
After walking around for a while, I found that where the cave spread inward, it connected to a place like a pool. I didn’t know that this was an unfamiliar exit, but when I threw a stone in and listened for the sound, I immediately knew that this was the exit.
The depth inside was beyond my control, so I ran back dejectedly. I was so desperate that I almost cried. At this moment, I suddenly heard a howl. When I ran out, I saw a big cat coming out of the sky.
An extremely weird arc passed over the quagmire at high speed. When the giant lizard below saw it, it opened its teeth and claws to catch it, but the height difference was too much, and everyone's efforts were in vain.
"Is this the Fengli?" Seeing its furry body and stripes, I thought it was a little leopard. Looking at its two gray long ears, I was sure that this was the Fengli, the mythical beast we had been searching for so hard.
Watching it climb up the stone platform opposite, I was a little frustrated. It was really uncomfortable to be so close but couldn't ask for it. While I was staring at the little guy and sighing in various ways, Ding Ling lying there was already
Started talking nonsense.
There is nothing I can do about holding her in my arms. There is really nothing I can do in this situation.
Colds and fevers are very common things. It will be better if you have medicine to treat the disease. Without the aid of medicine, you can only rely on her immunity to fight. I looked at her and really hoped that this girl could get through it. However,
At the moment, I don't even have the ability to raise a bonfire. Thinking of this, I reluctantly walked to the exit of the cave and looked to one side.
I moved a few holes along the stone wall, but still couldn't find a way out. However, there were some shrubs on the stone wall. One on the left and one on the right were broken a lot. I hugged them and ran back happily.
But those branches were all new and difficult to light. Using my own real fire as a guide, I finally managed to build a small bonfire with a lot of hard work. The fire was not bright, but there was thick smoke everywhere.
I shamelessly took off her clothes and put on the coat that had just been dried for her. I even took off the military boots that were soaked in muddy water and couldn't see their true colors. This time, I could see the scenery inside.
I knew it clearly, but at that time I didn’t have the urge to add insult to injury and take advantage. It wasn’t that I, Liu Xiahui, was possessed, but I was terribly tired at the time. If it weren’t for the fact that this girl was a sick girl, I would have
He just lay down and fell asleep.
The ancients said that when you are full and warm, you will think about lust, which makes sense. At least, I didn’t have that thought when I was hungry, sleepy, and exhausted.
Holding her shirtless, I tried my best to let this girl live well. After spending most of the night in a daze, I finally woke up and reached out to touch her. Her body temperature became much normal, but she was still very cold.
He was weak, but his breathing was steady and he slept peacefully.
I listened carefully, and it was strangely quiet outside.
