Li Luo's heart trembled. If such quicksand pours back, it won't take long for the cracks in the mountainside where he barely lives to be filled with quicksand. Then he will be buried alive and die. At this time, the black-clothed dwarf at his feet groaned.
, Li Luo was stunned for a moment. The moan of the dwarf in black was a bit strange, but he didn't have the time to distinguish it at the moment, so he hurriedly shouted: "Wake up!"
After waiting for a moment, the dwarf in black stood up unsteadily. He seemed a little dizzy and drunk. After a moment of shaking, he stood upright. Without making a sound, he looked up and down and left and right with the light in Li Luo's palm.
Then, looking at the quicksand dripping down from his head, the dwarf in black sneered and said dryly and harshly: "From dying right away to dying later, the prince's luck is really good."
Li Luo's face burned. How could he dare to get angry? The dwarf in black didn't curse loudly. He probably understood that even if he ate Li Luo alive, it would be of no use.
After the dwarf in black finished speaking, he remained silent. Li Luo calculated the speed of the quicksand falling above his head. He could last up to half an hour here. If he still couldn't find a way out after half an hour, then let the dwarf in black take action.
Venting your anger and dying early may be a better choice.
Li Luo looked around to see if there was any way out. The dwarf in black stood motionless against the cracked rock wall, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Li Luo carefully searched for the cracks in the mountainside. To be honest, Li Luo
In fact, I don’t know how or where to look for it. I just have to do something. It’s really hard to do nothing and just wait for death.
The quicksand fell slowly and slowly, showing no signs of weakening. A few moments ago, this quicksand was a life-saving straw for Li Luo and the dwarf in black. Now it became a life-saving talisman for the two of them. Li Luo stared blankly.
Quicksand falling from the top of the head. Speaking of quicksand, I have seen it before when I was in Dizhou, Xifu. Once people or cattle or sheep fall into it, there is almost no possibility of escaping. Even if there is someone around to help, it is extremely difficult to escape. Look.
The inconspicuous quicksand seems to have an unspeakable magic power that can attract anything that falls into it. With brute force alone, a lieutenant general of the Shepherd Wolf Army once broke the waist of a horse that fell into the quicksand.
, but failed to pull the lower body of the war horse up from the quicksand. Later, a Dizhou herdsman pointed out that when encountering quicksand, remember not to panic and struggle, but to move your feet gently to let water and sand seep into the squeezed area as much as possible.
This will relieve the suction force on the trapped person and allow the sand to slowly loosen. At the same time, the limbs should be spread apart as much as possible. If you are patient enough and move gently enough, you can slowly get out of the trap and emerge from the quicksand.
This method sounded extremely bold, and Li Luo found it incredible, but he had never had the chance to try it.
Sand and stones are commonly seen, but not all sand can turn into quicksand, and it is still in the middle of a mountain like this. Li Luo remembered the words of the herdsman in Dizhou back then, that sand will not flow without water, but wherever there is quicksand, there must be water.
Li Luo was shocked. If the herdsman was right, then there should be an underground river at the end of the quicksand, or under the gap in the mountain. The rising underground river reduced the force between the sand grains.
The sand starts to "flow" and becomes quicksand.
When a piece of loose sand is filled with water, ordinary sand will roll up. If the water captured by the sand cannot escape from it, a liquefied river will form. The flowing underground river will make the sand grains easier to float and flow, so that they can float in the middle of the mountain.
Quicksand is formed, and the channel through which the quicksand flows should be formed by this underground river that has been washed away in the heart of the mountain for tens of thousands of years.
Li Luo couldn't suppress a burst of ecstasy in his heart. If his prediction was correct, then there must be an exit under the fine sand under his feet. It was this exit that changed the amount of moisture in the sand. If not, Li Luo and the dwarf in black would definitely
He couldn't stand on the fine sand, and he would probably be swallowed by the fine sand. Li Luo hurriedly groped the rock wall to search for it, tapping the rock with the Minghong knife from time to time to test whether there was any sound of space behind him. The dwarf in black looked coldly.
Seeing Li Luo busy, he finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking for?"
Li Luo quickly told the secret about the quicksand told by the Dizhou herdsmen, and coupled with his own judgment, he came to the conclusion that there was an underground river outlet under the quicksand. After hearing this, the dwarf in black snorted coldly and was very disdainful.
, asked: "What can you do if you find the exit? Before you dig out the sand, you will be buried alive by the sand flowing down from your head."
"I also have three thunderbolts specially made by the military. If I can blow up the exit, at the worst, I can let the sand flow out again."
"Hmph, even if you find an underground river, how do you know that the underground river will definitely connect to the ground? There are many underground rivers in the Western Region, but there are very few that connect to the ground. There are very few cities like Qiemo."
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Give it a try, you can't just sit back and wait for death." After speaking, he paused slightly and then said, "I'm sorry for you."
"Hmph, I should have told you about this earlier."
"Told me earlier? What do you mean?"
Just when Li Luocuo was stunned and puzzled, the dwarf in black suddenly made a low-pitched buzzing sound, and small black shadows flashed away. After a while, the dwarf in black pointed at a corner of the slit and said coldly:
"There is a crack there, leading outside."
"Hey, you have such a method, why didn't you tell me earlier..." Before Li Luo finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere in the mountain was a bit cold, so he kept silent, smiled, walked over quickly, and lay down
I dug out a sand pit on the ground with the Minghong knife. Sure enough, there was a crack several inches wide on the rock wall. I touched it with my hand and found it was slightly moist, much wetter than the sand and gravel under me. The sand flowed here.
It condensed into blocks, blocked the cracks, and stopped flowing out.
Li Luo carefully looked at the rocks around the crack. They were common granite and sandstone. Granite is solid and is the bone of the mountain. Sandstone is loose and is the body of the mountain. And these underground rivers are like blood passages. If you look at it this way
Come on, this Luye Naga Mountain is somewhat similar to a living person. Li Luo used the Minghong knife to scrape the floating sand on the cracked wall, and then tried the soft and hard, trying to find out the maximum power of the thunder.
It turns out that the Mu Tianlang Army also used firearms to open mountains and the like, and they paid attention to point-breaking face. There were many masters in the magic camp who were good at this. It was related to arithmetic. Although Li Luo was a little promiscuous in arithmetic,
But Li Luo had only heard a few words about calculating breaking points, and had never tried it himself. As expected, he agreed with that sentence, and he would regret it less when the book was used.
