We were so shocked by the sight in front of us that we just stayed there. We were just talking and didn't take a closer look. Only then did we realize that we had simply arrived in a fairyland outside the world. It was no longer pitch black, and the huge dome was far above us.
I can see it, but I can't imagine its height. When I look up, I can only see the fang-like protrusions on it, hanging upside down like stalagmites. The momentum makes people shudder.
A thin ruby-colored mist was suspended among the inverted stalagmites, seemingly flowing silently. A pillar of light poured in from one side of the dome. This seemed to be the only light source in the cave, illuminating the general outline of the cave.
General Ji and I didn't talk to anyone. He was like a child who suddenly discovered something interesting. He was cautious but couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. According to the hints of the ancients, I told him that I expected that there would be a turtle here at best.
That's reasonable. I don't think there will be anything else.
But we can't take it lightly. Looking at it, the terrain here is flat and disappears into a mist in the distance. We don't know how big it is. We decided to walk forward along the left side of the cave wall to see how big the cave is.
General Ji took off his backpack and took out the dry food. I don’t know how long it had been since we landed on Ushima Island. When we saw the food, we all felt hungry. The two of us devoured it. After eating, we got up and walked forward.
We can clearly see the situation in front of our bodies. To our left is a straight mountain wall. The texture on the stone wall looks finer and finer as we go up. I know that is due to the distance. There is nothing unusual along the way.
situations happen, but the silence here always makes people feel a sense of awe.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we turned back and saw that the gun we had jumped in had been hidden in the ruddy mist. We couldn't see clearly except for the cave wall on the left and the open space on the right.
, there are postures ending with this kind of milky mist on the back and right side, which makes this place even more mysterious.
Soon, we all found a hole in the stone wall. We looked at each other and without saying anything, General Ji and I walked in. Maybe the legendary turtle was in this hole.
As soon as we entered the cave, a smell of sulfur rushed out. We covered our mouths and noses with our clothes and continued walking in. I asked General Ji to put the torch at the entrance of the cave and take out the snake pill from my arms.
, he immediately understood what I meant, there can be no sparks in a place full of sulfur
It didn't take long for the cave to reach the bottom. There was only sulfur growing on the rock wall. For example, if you pickle vegetables in a vat and dry them in the sun, a layer of white hair will grow on it in a short period of time. It will be thick and thick.
The things in this cave are just growing on the rocks. Many of them have fallen from the wall, and piles of them have accumulated at the root of the cave wall. We retreated and continued to move forward. The images in front kept coming.
The fog becomes lighter and clearer, and the road behind you gradually disappears into the fog. If you don't use the stone wall on the left as a reference, you will lose your sense of direction.
We used our hands to hold on to the stone wall from time to time. It felt warm to the touch, probably because it was underground.
As we were walking, General Ji suddenly stopped and asked me, "Do you feel that we are getting higher and higher as we walk?"
"No? I don't feel that I'm tall, I just feel like I'm getting more and more energetic as I walk."
"I'm talking about the terrain, not the people," General Ji said while recalling what I said. He turned around and looked me over, and asked, "You mean it's getting stronger and stronger?" He came over and squeezed my shoulders, saying,
He said to himself, "It's weird, it's weird why I don't feel this way."
Indeed, we have been walking for about an hour and a half. I know that one hour at that time was equivalent to two hours now. The two of us kept walking until now. General Ji's fatigue can be seen on his body, and why do I
Not tired?
Hearing what he said, I turned around and looked at the place where we came from, and everything became clear at a glance. The head of the turtle we drilled out was dimly diagonally below, but I also discovered that on the other side of it,
It seemed to be a cave entrance, exactly symmetrical to the sulfur-filled hole we had just drilled through. I pointed it out to General Ji and he squinted his eyes, looked at it for a long time, nodded, and then looked around again.
Looking around, he looked up at the top of the shield and said:
"This hole looks like a woman. Look," he pointed back. "The hole we drilled just now is one of her legs. The other hole you found... we'll go take a look later. If it's true,
If it’s a hole, it should be considered her other leg.”
I imagined a woman's body according to his words. I understood what General Ji meant. He regarded the inner cavity of this huge cave as a supine female body.
"According to what the general said, if we continue walking, it should be one of her right arms?" I asked.
"Look, isn't that right?" Sure enough, following his direction, another hole did appear in front, and it seemed to be a little smaller than the one just now. We walked towards it, and I quietly raised my head and looked above my head.
The dome. Since General Ji said it looks like a woman, I want to see if there are two things on a woman’s breasts.
Haha, yes
Really
But we saw that the domes were close to the side where we were standing, two places side by side. On the normal trend, they suddenly sunk in and were filled with white and mist. They were considered two giant breasts of this woman's cave.
Otherwise, why didn't General Ji say that this place looks like a man? It seems that he has already seen this.
This is a V-shaped hole, just like a person's arm is bent. Standing at the entrance of the hole, you can't see what's going on inside. If you want to arrange for people to live in, I plan to give this hole to Tian Hua. It's airtight.
It's excellent. It's dry inside and the temperature is right. There's a raised platform at the bottom of the cave, which looks like a bed.
From the entrance of this cave, it seems that this is the highest point of the Women's Cave. I don't know how far away there is, where the light we saw before comes in, and there is a vague entrance to the sky. I don't know how far away from us by visual inspection.
How far away I can only see that the color of the fog there is lighter than elsewhere, and that beam of light comes in from there.
And below the light hole, streams of white gas kept rising. I thought it must be the cause of geothermal heat. Geothermal heat is the heat that exists inside the earth. The earth is a huge heat reservoir. The total thermal energy inside the earth is about
170 million times the total coal reserves in the world
While we were thinking wildly, we were attracted by a movement at the same time. First there was the sound of stones cracking, and then there was a vibration from the ground. We could feel it with our feet. Once again, this time there were fist-sized stones crackling.
I know where it hit, and the vibrations under my feet are getting more and more severe.
It's an earthquake! I shouted and was about to tell General Ji to run away, but the scene in front of me stunned me.
General Ji knelt on his knees, clasped his hands together, and kowtowed as if pounding garlic! He was still shaking! He couldn't move when he pulled him, how could I pull him to move a general? But the movement became louder and louder, and there were more stones.
The ground is rolling down, we can't wait here to be hit. Maybe people at this time didn't know what an earthquake was, and thought it was the anger of the gods and a vision.
But I couldn't control that much, so I went up and kicked him on the butt, shouting:
"General Ji! You are kneeling in the wrong place. Stand up quickly, or God will be even more angry!"
He suddenly woke up and was pulled by me, back towards the road in the opposite direction where the stone fell. That was the way we came.
The shaking continues
The sound of boulders rolling down was loud. To be honest, I don’t know what happened. Could it be that this high dome is going to collapse? If so, I’m afraid neither of us can get out.
Already shaking to the point of being unable to stand, I, General Laji, lay on the foot of the left cave wall, covering his head with both hands, pressing one side of his body against the stone wall. He also felt the vibration coming from the stone wall. General Ji placed his hands again
Putting his hands together, he changed from lying down to kneeling, muttering incessantly, as if he was praying for something. It should not be fear, but piety.
I poked him and looked at the rock wall ahead.
we are all shocked
The position we were looking at should be opposite to the position of the crystal convex lens. I turned around to confirm the position, but found nothing.
On the rock wall on the side where the vibration occurred, with bursts of cracking, an elliptical outline was gradually revealed! The gravel continued to roll down from the outline, as if there was some huge force surging outward.
Earth fire? Magma?
The possibility of seawater is greater. Don’t forget, we drilled into the seabed from the rising island. If seawater gushes in overwhelmingly from here, we won’t be able to survive. It won’t be long. Judging from this outline, the seawater will be in half
When time fills this cavity, the high dome will also collapse due to the impact of the sea water. At that time, no matter who we are, whether it is General Ji or me, don’t say that we can swim. We can be sure that in the water
The first moment lang came into contact with us, we were stunned.
There was a stalagmite on the dome that seemed to have been knocked off by someone. It fell down with a whistling sound and shattered on the ground. The stones flew everywhere and made a dull sound. This phenomenon lasted for more than 20 seconds. It looked like,
On the ground that used to be a flat river, gravel hills of varying density appeared, and the entire landscape changed. At this time, the movement on the rock wall seemed to have stopped.
However, we all heard a gasping sound unmistakably! Moreover, besides the gasping sound, there was another sound, the sound of splashing water.
We all saw that out of the oval outline crawled out a big, big, sorry I don't have other words to say, it was a big turtle!
The first thing that caught my eye was its head, which was stained with a layer of gravel powder. Its huge eyes shed tears due to the struggle just now, and the gray-white powder hanging all over its head was washed under the eyes.
There is a curved trace, from where you can see its original skin, with numerous wrinkles, rougher than the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.
There was saliva hanging in its mouth, but it was covered with gray-white stone powder. It rested for a while, and then began to shake its body outwards. More gravel rolled down, but the movement was much smaller.
Now, I remember how to describe it. If it is a hot water bottle filled with water, the kind you use to keep warm before going to bed in winter. You break a match into two pieces in the middle and put them against the hot water bottle.
So, the two half-cut matches are me and General Ji
