The sudden change made me unable to contain my surprise, but Long Wu seemed to know what I wanted to ask next.
Just listen to him say: "It's the movement of the wind. You can't, but I can feel the wind!"
Long Wu is born with a keen insight that is different from ordinary people. Although I was surprised by his answer, it was also expected.
The sudden opening of the river cover seemed to have healed the fat man's injured leg in a short time. He became energetic and rushed over a few times. Then he was stunned on the spot, looking down and said in great surprise: "Damn it, grandma, come here quickly!"
According to Fatty's performance, unless he was standing in the Himalayas and a skylight suddenly opened, he would not be so excited that his whole body would be shaking like this.
Although the fat man could maintain his last trace of calmness at first, on the way we rushed over, he started to tremble all over and said tremblingly, "Come here, come here!" From the beginning to the end, his eyes never left the open river cover. He kept looking down blankly, his eyeballs might fall off at any time.
When a person sees someone of the same species showing such excitement, adrenaline hormones will be secreted crazily. Curiosity and anticipation are enough to make the person forget everything.
There is nothing else in my mind right now. I just want to dive into the open river cover and see clearly what's underneath.
I took two and three steps to grab the fat man's shoulders. Before I could even look down, I felt the cool breeze mixed with water vapor coming towards my face!
It felt like a hot summer day when we suddenly changed into swimsuits and instantly arrived at a huge swimming pool!
As soon as you enter the door, you can feel countless damp and cool breezes sweeping towards you.
I really wanted to cry out that I felt good at this moment. Not getting any water for a long time made me have the urge to jump in and drink up all the liquid.
After trying hard to calm down, I pulled down the rolling eyes. Many people jump from bridges and lakes because they roll their eyes and then fall down, because they don't have the courage to look down at the moment they fall. I couldn't help but be afraid that if I hadn't developed this willpower through many years of experience in the antique business, I might have fallen headfirst just now.
The fat man didn't know the series of mental activities I had just done, but I understood why he was so surprised.
Looking down, there is a wide river. Where the flashlight shines, black water flows and rushes forward in the river.
The river has one side and one bank, and the bank is about two-thirds of the width of the river. There are many coconut palm-like plants growing on the river bank. Some of them are growing on the bank, but they are tilted and tilted, probably due to the erosion of the river water. It seems that they may be swept away by the roots at any time.
I immediately determined that the depth of the river must have increased significantly in the recent past. The river bed remained unchanged, but the river banks were forcibly widened, and the plants that originally grew on the banks were destroyed.
But the question remains, the environment here is dark, what kind of energy do these trees rely on to grow?
It is understandable that they are low-growing and rare plants that can survive in the underground world without sunlight. However, these tall plants that look like coconut trees must carry out photosynthesis, so sunlight is an essential energy!
We were at the edge of the original river cover, which collapsed, revealing the stone steps spiraling to the bottom.
The roar of the mechanism just now was mixed with the friction sound between the stone slabs. Perhaps some of the stone slabs were not fully unfolded originally. Judging from the distance of the stone steps alone, you need to make five consecutive turns to follow this stone stairway to the bottom. These turns are all right angles, just like the double-layer escape passages in modern commercial buildings, which are interconnected and folded with each other. .
I carefully observed this folding stone staircase, and found that several steps were broken at the penultimate corner. The stone steps, which were more than one meter long, fell to the bottom and hit the river bank. Judging from the fresh marks, they should be The break occurred just now when the mechanism was activated.
These stone steps themselves were excavated as a whole. Thousands of years ago, there was no concrete connection. We had to take out the climbing rope and fix one end on the hanging platform. Then everyone tied the safety rope to prevent stepping on the other stones. An accident suddenly occurred while walking down the stairs.
The fat man's legs and feet were not strong enough. He was responsible for waiting at the stone steps, and the task of fixing the climbing rope was left to me. I tied it with a semi-buckle knot. After we went down, we could use skill to pull back the climbing rope. .
After it was fixed, I pulled hard, and after making sure it was OK, I asked Long Wu to throw the rope to the fat man. After a series of actions, when I was about to follow, I suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Where has that giant skin gone?
My heart suddenly shrank and I hurriedly threw my flashlight around. The giant skin was really gone!
Suddenly a dark shadow flashed past the entrance of the stone door. My nerve reflex immediately turned the light to that place, but I saw nothing!
At this moment, the fall of the dragon-horned red-tailed moth above my head has come to an end, and the weird fragrance around me is so strong that I wonder if I am too nervous. Could it be that I was dazzled just now due to the influence of the fallen bug?
Long Wu was already in front of the fat man, and they were fixing the climbing rope on themselves. Seeing me standing there without making any next move, Long Wu's flashlight shined towards me.
It was Long Wu who came over, but it was the fat man who spoke: "Old Cao! What are you doing with that blind pestle? Didn't you notice that there are coconuts growing on the trees below? Hurry up and pick two to quench your thirst!"
Because the surrounding environment was too weird, I didn't dare to say that the giant skin was missing, so I could only whisper back: "I know, it's coming!"
Although I promised, I always felt that something was wrong. I turned back three times every step of the way, always unconsciously wanting to shine a flashlight on the entrance to the stone gate.
When we were halfway to the river cover, I had already glanced at the stone gate three times. Just when I was about to feel relieved, I suddenly saw a thin-skinned person sneaking towards me at the stone gate. Look around!
I immediately exclaimed: "Damn it! That human skin came to life!"
The fat man had already stepped one leg down, and his toe had already touched the first stone step. He was so frightened by my exclamation that he shivered violently.
Now I can see clearly, it is the giant skin! The giant skin bag ran to the entrance of the stone gate at some point!
Half of the face is at a very high position, looking at us secretly, and at the same time, it is still swaying, like a kite about to fly, adapting to the surrounding wind.
The giant's skin was completely peeled off, and the scalp was still covered with thick hair. The hair covered half of the face where the eyes were, and you could clearly see that the three holes in the mouth and nose were twitching strangely, like Just like Jie Jie laughing!
The fat man was unambiguous when it came to using the gun. Although there were not many bullets left, he raised the gun very quickly. I knew that he would fire if he aimed even slightly. I took the lead and took out the pistol and pointed it at the half of his face. The "pop" is a shot!
This shot hit the edge of the stone door without any bias, and a dazzling spark shot out in all directions. This was caused by the bullet grazing the wall.
The fat man also reacted quickly. When he saw me firing, he didn't fully pull the trigger and shouted to me: "Lao Cao, hurry up! Come here quickly!"
I saw that the fat man's face was pale. It was not like he was frightened by what just happened. As expected, his facial features were twisted together, as if he saw the last moment when a comet was about to hit the earth: "Look at the top of your head, tree branch! Branch!"
Just now, I only noticed the snow-like poisonous insects, but no longer noticed the human skins hanging on the tree. Then I heard the fat man's roar, and when I looked up, I saw that the human skins seemed to be possessed by something. , was waking up little by little, and his limbs began to shake and flutter seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. I can guarantee that this was definitely not caused by the wind!
Seeing this scene, a lightning flashed in my mind.
I seemed to suddenly understand something!
Thinking back to the prickly white oil paper I saw in the underground river, I understood that maybe it was not white oil paper at all, but real human skin that had been processed through several special processes!
The mandrill mummy puppet I encountered before is a perfect example! At first we thought it was a female ghost in white following us, but it turned out that it was a piece of dead human skin attached to the mandrill. The mandrill had turned into a mummy, but it could "live" when exposed to water!
Primates all have a common nature, which is strong curiosity.
The mandrill must have seen a strange white skin floating in the water when it was drilling in the cave. It fished it out, and ended up being wrapped in this kind of human skin until it became a mummy and was still being fucked. Ruthless domination.
The amount of human skin here is really unimaginable, but why this kind of blue stone appears, and why the human skin can "wake up" when the dragon-horned red-tailed moth is completely extinct, is hard to figure out for a while.
I don't need anyone to urge me now. I think that being able to tie the safety rope intact just now is already God's favor to me, so I don't dare to hesitate at all. This kind of thing is probably like the larvae of the opposite sex in science fiction movies. Once it is stuck on, it will completely become a bullshit plaster that cannot be shaken off!
The three of us almost jumped down and rolled up and down the stone steps, refusing to slow down before the 90-degree corner. I took the time to explain to them in a hurry: Those white oiled papers we saw before were not paper at all! It's probably the human skin that flowed out from here! But this kind of "awakening" of human skin may also need to be catalyzed by the blue stone under the chess game sand table!
The fat man yelled: "Is this King Jing a fucking mine? Red, blue, why the hell did he give us weird rocks! Each one of them smells weird! Ouch! , Knocked me to death!"
We had almost reached the bottom a few times, but we didn't dare to ignore this fault. The fat man didn't have a brake under his feet, so he jumped down without even seeing clearly. Long Wu caught him in time, but his knees hit the stone steps heavily. superior.
The fat man also knew that he was being rescued and did not complain at all. The few of us adjusted the angle and then used the traction of the rope to jump over and reach a safe zone completely.
