Relying on the dim beams of light emitted by two flashlights, Wan Lin and Chengru ran along the river bank for another five or six kilometers. At this time, two cave entrances, one large and one small, suddenly appeared in the dim beams of their flashlights.
The two cave entrances formed a V shape and extended to both sides. The originally spacious cave was suddenly divided into two.
The two quickly accelerated and ran forward, then stopped among the rugged rocks on the shore. They raised their flashlights and shined forward. Only then did they see clearly through the dim light, the two caves in front of them.
Large and small, the underground river around them is slowly flowing towards the large cave on the left, while a clear stream flows out of the small cave on the right. The stream flows directly into the underground river along the stone wall beside the cave.
Go to the cave on the left.
Chengru raised his flashlight to first shine on the spacious cave on the left, then moved the flashlight to shine on the narrow cave on the right and said, "Leopard Tou, which cave are we entering? The underground river flows to the cave on the left, and the cave on the left is also
It’s bigger. The cave on the right is narrow and the water flow is very small, making it difficult to move around.”
In the dim flashlight beam, Wan Lin walked up to a rock in front and squatted down. He raised his flashlight and shined it into the cave on the left, then lowered his body and shined into the narrow cave on the left. At this time, he did not answer.
Instead of Ru's question, he suddenly took a breath and shouted to the front: "Xiaohua, Xiaobai?"
At this time, he couldn't tell which direction to go. But under the current situation, they had no extra time to search slowly. Once the power in the flashlight was exhausted, they returned to Chengru and Yu Jing in the dark.
The location was difficult, so now he could only place his hopes on the two leopards.
Wan Lin made a long and low call with inner strength, and went straight into the two dark caves in front. Immediately there were waves of "buzzing" echoes in the caves, and the quietly flowing river on the shore was here.
White water ripples appeared in the powerful sound waves.
Wan Lin shouted, and he and Chengru immediately held up flashlights to shine on the two caves, and then listened intently to the echoes inside. In the dim electric light, the water flows in the two caves reflected wisps of crystal light.
The sound of running water and the echoes of "Little Flower, Little White" came one after another from the two caves, but there was no echo of the two leopards in the sound.
Wan Lin and Cheng Ru's faces suddenly became tense. Wan Lin's voice was like an edict to the two leopards, Xiaohua and Xiaobai. As long as the two leopards heard Wan Lin's voice, there was no reason at all.
He replied without making a sound. But now more than ten seconds have passed, and Wan Lin and Chengru still haven't heard the echo from the two leopards, which really made them feel shocked and worried!
Just when Wan Lin's face showed an anxious look, a cry of "wow wah wah" suddenly came from the dark cave on the side, just like the cry of a helpless baby in the dark, the sound seemed very strange.
Weak and weird.
The hair on Wan Lin's and Cheng Ru's hair stood up at this moment. Both of them pressed their right hands on the pistol holsters tied to the sides of their thighs at the same time, and then quickly ran forward. The two rushed to the side of the small cave under the cave wall.
, Wan Lin hid under the rocks on the side of the cave entrance and raised his flashlight to shine into the dark cave. He then pulled out the pistol with his right hand and rubbed it against his left hand. There was a "crack" sound and the bullet was loaded.
At this moment, the "wow" cry in the small cave suddenly disappeared. The narrow cave revealed rugged rocks in the dim flashlight beam, and a clear stream at the bottom of the cave was swirling between the rocks.
It flows towards the entrance of the cave, and crystal water droplets are splashing next to the rocks standing at the bottom of the cave.
Wan Lin stared intently at the stream flowing down the slope at the bottom of the cave, and suddenly said: "This must be the stream flowing into the cave from the mountains outside!" Chengru listened to the sounds coming from the cave and said with some surprise.
: "But where did the child come from here?" At this moment, "Ouch...", a leopard roar from Xiaohua suddenly sounded from the depths of the dark cave in front, followed closely by Xiaobai's cry faintly!
Wan Lin was overjoyed when he heard the news. He shouted excitedly: "Xiaohua and Xiaobai are inside, they must have discovered something!" Then he closed the safety of the pistol and inserted it into the holster.
At this moment, the baby's cry of "Wow" sounded from the darkness in the distance again. Wan Lin listened attentively for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Chengru and said: "Haha, this is not a baby.
The cry is the cry of a giant salamander!"
"Baby fish?" Cheng Ru shouted in surprise. "Let's go!" Wan Lin held up a flashlight and bent down to get into the small cave on the right. He strode forward on the stream and replied: "We are here."
There is this kind of giant salamander in my hometown, which mainly lives in inaccessible mountain streams and caves. This kind of fish is very big, some can reach about one meter, and its cry is indeed similar to the cry of a baby."
At this time, Wan Lin looked very excited. He sidled past a towering rock in front and said: "Xiaoya once told me that the scientific name of this kind of giant salamander is giant salamander, which is derived from aquatic insects, fish,
It feeds on crabs, shrimps and frogs. It moves slowly and mainly waits for prey, but the teeth in its mouth are very sharp. Once the prey is bitten by it, it will be difficult to escape. This is a carnivorous fish."
He suddenly stopped when he said this, raised his flashlight and looked ahead, and then said: "It is said that this kind of giant salamander has a long lifespan and can reach a hundred years. Hahaha, we mountain people regard this kind of giant salamander as a mascot.
They call it the old longevity star and say that anyone who sees it can live a long life. Xiaoya said that this kind of wild giant salamander has extremely high requirements for water quality and surrounding environment, and the place where they are must be a good place with beautiful scenery."
After finishing, he bent down and burrowed into the low cave in front.
Chengru followed Wan Lin and climbed past the rock standing in the stream. He smiled and looked up at Wan Lin in front of him and said, "Why are you so happy? Did Xiaohua and Xiaobai's screams bring some good news?"
?”
Wan Lin bent down and crawled through the protruding rocks on the cave wall in front, and replied excitedly: "Yes, Xiaohua and Xiaobai screamed very excitedly just now. They must have discovered the exit to the mountains outside.
Let’s go to the front and have a look. Let’s go over and have a look.”
As he spoke, he raised his flashlight to shine on the low cave in front of him, then bent down and lay in the stream, turned around and climbed up the rocks above. At this time, his whole body was soaked in the "gushing" flow.
In the stream, the body crawled forward quickly like a twisted snake.
