As the light source was turned off, the entire underground cavity returned to absolute darkness.
In the empty and silent dead land, even the slight sound of falling water drops gradually became clearer. The heart beat slowly in the chest, seeming to be integrated with everything around it.
At this moment, Bai Ning seemed to be silently dissolving into this endless dark void.
quiet.
silence.
There was silence for a long time.
It's so silent that one can forget time.
As for the sudden light, it is no longer the morning star that guides people's direction, it is the rising sun.
At this moment, it seems that this place has turned into a battle of patience. If the enemy does not move, and I do not move, either we will be trapped here to death, or we will leave here restlessly.
Time passed by, and Bai Ning seemed to have fallen asleep completely, still making no sound.
Suddenly, a beam of light suddenly lit up not far away, and then ran wildly in a predetermined direction.
Such a sharp move is completely unlike wearing a rubber diving suit and carrying twenty or thirty kilograms of oxygen bottles.
You have quietly taken off all your equipment, and then want to use this short-term physical advantage to completely throw away the pursuers behind you?
Bai Ning looked up, but found that something seemed wrong.
The light beam of a strong flashlight is not like this. This thing that is running forward rapidly is more like the afterimage of a fireball leaving a trail in the air.
As if to confirm Bai Ning's expectation, a large number of will-o'-the-wisps suddenly erupted in the entire underground cavity, and began to float rapidly around like crazy demons.
Suddenly, the entire underground cavity turned into a ghostly underground tomb.
Some bright yellow will-o'-the-wisps even rushed toward Bai Ning, as if to welcome Bai Ning, a distinguished guest from afar.
If we want to explain this sudden and strange phenomenon from the perspective of the bearded captain, it is that he wants to take advantage of the chaos and leave to completely get rid of Bai Ning's follow-up.
But if we explain it from the perspective of supernatural phenomena, the current phenomenon of will-o'-the-wisp carnival represents the rapid arrival of an unknown danger.
No matter what the situation was, the current situation did not allow Bai Ning to hesitate in the slightest.
Bai Ning suddenly lay down on the boulder and used a strong flashlight to shine on the bright yellow fireball that was rushing towards him.
The contrast between light and light is like a wonderful fireworks display, and the splashing sparks make the nature of the flame more complicated.
What is the principle of a fire ball that explodes when it encounters light?
He glanced at the yellow sparks flashing on the nearby boulders, and it looked like some unknown fluorescent creature.
Could it be that there are still some unknown ancient dangerous creatures in this underground cavity?
Some little bug that can spontaneously combust?
Some beetles in nature can produce high-temperature explosive gases by secreting hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide.
Even if there are luminous insects like fireflies, they can only emit cold light.
Can a special insect like this, which combines explosion and light, really exist in such an undersea cave with no source of nutrients?
Without having time to think about it, Bai Ning suddenly fired his bright flashlight at other light balls that wanted to get closer, and several silent explosions occurred.
Suddenly, the entire small area was filled with stars.
Beauty reveals absolute danger.
No one knew what harm these explosive bugs would do to the human body, and Bai Ning did not want to recklessly use his body to make some meaningless attempts.
At this time, I couldn't care too much. I quickly removed the oxygen bottle and ran towards the place where there might be an exit.
It is possible to say it is possible, but it is also possible to speculate. In fact, it is gambling with one's life.
Fortunately, under the stimulation of a strong flashlight, these special insects flying in groups will not get too close.
Maybe it was God's blessing, or maybe the place was densely packed with caves, but a tunnel entrance did appear at the end of Bai Ning's escape.
There was no way to avoid it, and regardless of whether the tunnel ahead was the correct path, Bai Ning dwarfed his body and got in directly.
Those bright yellow flying insects seemed to be able to move only in the underground cavity. He ran forward a few steps, but did not notice any flying insects following him. Bai Ning also gradually slowed down.
I took a few sharp breaths, but the air was still turbid. After strenuous exercise, my dizziness became more obvious.
His physical discomfort has become more serious, and now he has lost the opportunity to track the bearded captain due to a sudden attack by unknown insects. The future trend has already headed in an unpredictable direction.
Adjust the breathing rhythm as much as possible. While the body is relaxing, Bai Ning is also further reducing his overall oxygen consumption intensity.
After everything was ready, Bai Ning walked back directly and came to the tunnel entrance of the underground cavity again.
I don’t know if I was disturbed by something. At this time, the bright yellow light clusters in the underground cavity became more dense. Some light spots scattered due to unknown reasons made this underground cavity seem to be shrouded in... In a glistening yellow light.
Dangerous and beautiful insect swarms, no one knows the consequences of being surrounded by them.
But given the current harsh environment in this cavity, the only outcome of being attacked is that there will be no bones left.
This sudden situation may have occurred naturally, or it may have been inspired by the bearded captain through special means.
No matter which way it was, Bai Ning couldn't go back this way.
Bai Ning, who was in a calm mood due to the breath adjustment, took one last look at this dangerous underground cavity, then turned around and left silently.
The tunnel was still going downwards, about a hundred or two hundred meters forward, when a dense stream of water vapor suddenly drifted over.
It smells like living water.
This is very strange. Bai Ning has always experienced some sealed death places, and even the air seems extremely turbid.
If there is flowing water in an underground cavity ahead, the accumulated carbon dioxide here should be dissolved into the seawater and carried away by the undercurrent.
The distance of several tens of meters passed by in an instant. Bai Ning seemed to be able to hear the crisp sound of waves hitting the rocks.
Is there really a huge flowing lake in this submarine cavity?
Continuing to move forward quickly, the moist vapor seemed to have wetted Bai Ning's face. It felt like walking quickly in a hazy drizzle.
The beam of light paused, and suddenly a space larger than the previous underground cavity appeared in front of Bai Ning.
The sound of the tide hitting the rocks became clearer and clearer, and the air was so humid that it seemed like you could squeeze out a handful of water with just a grab.
The light beam swept quickly, and not far away was a huge lake with white waves rolling in it, just like arriving at the seaside when autumn is getting colder.
There is no violent disturbance of the air flow here. It is obvious that there is a turbulent undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, pushing the sea water to continuously wash away everything it can cover.
Thinking of the few puddles existing in the first underground cavity and the downward extension of the previous tunnel, perhaps when the tide rises or the wind and waves in the Bohai Bay rise, a large amount of water will surge out, turning the first The underground cavities were flooded.
It can be seen that the previously mysterious insects may also be special species that are both amphibious and land-based.
Like this highly aggressive insect that can explode, glow, fly, and be amphibious, each of these is a high energy-consuming trait. Even if it is a small insect, the overall energy consumption is small, but under natural selection It is also very difficult to survive.
From this, Bai Ning is more willing to believe that they are genetic creatures inherited from some ancient times.
If a very obvious artificial attribute is suddenly added to this underground cavity, then the probability of ancient ruins here will be very high.
Considering the possible similarities between dried fruits and dragons, perhaps dragons were also the focus of research by some ancient civilizations.
Considering the mysterious undersea tombs we have experienced before, it is possible that this dragon cave is an ancient ruin inherited from an unknown civilization.
Perhaps, we can really find some clues related to the dried fruits in the dragon's lair left here.
This area where the tide may rise at any time is very dangerous. Bai Ning quickly walked around the lake and found that it seemed to be a closed space.
In other words, the only way out is the undercurrent of this lake.
If there is no other way out of the first cavity, then this is the only way out of the Thousand Dragons Cave.
This situation has given rise to a very serious topic:
Bai Ning had to return to the first underground cavity and take out the oxygen bottle he left behind.
The place is still in the stage of insect riots. If Bai Ning goes there, he may die.
Do we need to wait for a rising tide and return to the first underground cavity with the rising water?
With this idea, one might be able to easily return to the previous underground cavity, but if he wanted to follow the turbulent undercurrent and return again, the energy consumed would most likely be within Bai Ning's tolerance.
Furthermore, Bai Ning didn't have much oxygen. Adding the two together, he would really drown in the turbulent undercurrent.
It was the lesser of two evils, and the only way out now seemed to be to venture back into the previous underground cavity and risk retrieving the oxygen bottle.
After just a moment of decision, Bai Ning quickly returned to the underground cavity.
After this period of calm, the number of flying insects in the underground cavity seemed much thinner.
A large number of flying insects rest in unknown places. If you step in rashly, or a random glance at the light source, this unexpected nightmare will be awakened again.
Suddenly, this underground cavity feels like walking on thin ice.
He further held his breath and concentrated, covering the strong light flashlight with his palm. The strong light became extremely weak through his palm. With the help of this little light, Bai Ning slowly groped forward step by step according to his previous memory of the location here. go.
