Soon, everyone came to the end of the canyon. Just as Yang Hai said, the end of the canyon was a towering cliff with no other way out. A huge dark cave appeared on the ground at the bottom of the cliff. To be precise,
It should be a huge hole that looks like it collapsed on the ground.
The entrance of the pit is very large, almost a hundred meters in diameter. On the edge of the pit is a fan-shaped slope that is not too steep. Standing on the edge of the pit, one can smell the unpleasant fishy smell emanating from the pit.
This pit must be the lair of the two tyrannosaurs.
For the sake of safety, Ning Xiaofan did not dare to go down rashly, and immediately signaled Hou San and Yang Hai to go in and investigate first.
Hou San and Yang Hai did not refuse. They held Type 95 and flashlights, and carefully went down the slope.
Although no Tyrannosaurus appeared for a long time, everyone was still nervous, fearing that something might slip through the hole.
After a while, Yang Hai's voice came from Ning Xiaofan's headset: "Captain Ning, it's safe down there. There are no other creatures. Hou San and I found several passages, but we just don't know if we can get out?"
"How many passages are there?" Ning Xiaofan looked happy and said, "Well, in this case, you don't move for now and wait for us to come down."
After Ning Xiaofan finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone and said, "Captain Yang has sent back the message. It's safe down there. Let's talk about it after we go down."
With that said, Ning Xiaofan immediately walked down the slope.
When we arrived at the bottom of the pit, we saw a huge space. The ground was relatively flat. However, the ground was covered with bloodstains. There were also many large and small skeletons and scattered bones scattered around. There was a strong stench.
The smell wafts into the nose, making you nauseous.
As a flashlight light approached from far away, Hou San ran over at a trot. When he got close to Ning Xiaofan, Hou San took a few breaths and said: "Brother Xiaofan, there is a passage ahead, Yang Hai is guarding there.
Let’s go and take a look.”
Ning Xiaofan nodded and signaled Fatty and others to wait where they were, while he followed Hou San towards the depths of the pit.
The pothole was spacious but not deep. After walking about two hundred meters, with the help of the flashlight light, Yang Hai could be vaguely seen.
There are piles of rubble at the end of the hole. The appearance of these rubbish is relatively smooth, as if it has been rubbed by something. On one side of the cave wall, there is a lot of dead grass piled on the ground. Look at the thickness and area of the pile of dead grass.
This is probably where the tyrannosaurus usually rests, but the smell here is actually much lighter.
On the cave wall at the end, there were several natural cracks two meters wide. Arriving at one of the cracks guarded by Yang Hai, Ning Xiaofan took the flashlight handed over by Hou San and shined it inside. The cracks were deep and dark, giving people
A bottomless feeling.
These cracks are probably the passages Yang Hai mentioned.
Ning Xiaofan didn't know whether there was a way out of the passage, but with how narrow the crack was, there was no need to worry about any large creatures appearing in the crack.
Just listen to Yang Hai say: "There are several passable tunnels here. I looked at the route map before, zoomed in and compared it. Entering through this tunnel is closer to the main line. Do you want to go in and explore it first?
road?"
Ning Xiaofan thought for a while and said: "There might be a fork in the road. It's not good to separate. Let's act together."
After saying that, Ning Xiaofan looked at Hou San and said: "Hou San, go and call Fatty and the others over. We will go in through this passage."
Hou San agreed and turned around to call Fatty and others.
Not long after, Hou San led everyone here. Ning Xiaofan did not waste any time and motioned for everyone to follow, and then he and Yang Hai entered the passage first.
The entrance of the tunnel is about two meters, but after entering, it becomes narrower and narrower. At first, Ning Xiaofan and Yang Hai could walk side by side, but soon it could only accommodate one person, and sometimes they had to turn sideways to pass.
As people continued to file in, the terrain in the tunnel gradually became more complicated, sometimes climbing up and sometimes going down the slope.
I don’t know how long they have been traveling, but Ning Xiaofan and his party once again encountered a downward slope. This slope was extremely steep, less than one meter wide, and tilted almost at 90 degrees. The slope was also covered with a layer of loose gravel, which was slightly
Step hard and large pieces of gravel will roll down.
It was impossible to go down together in this kind of terrain, otherwise they would be injured by the loose gravel on the slope. Ning Xiaofan immediately arranged for everyone to go down one by one in order.
Hou San was thin and the lightest among everyone, so he became the first candidate to go down. Followed by Yang Hai, Fatty, Zhang Chun, Professor Zhao and others, Ning Xiaofan arranged for himself to be the last one to go down.
This steep slope is quite long. It took almost ten minutes before Ning Xiaofan's headset heard the response from Hou San that he had safely reached the bottom of the steep slope. Hou San also reminded him that this slope is full of loose gravel and is easy to slip.
Telling everyone to be more careful.
After being reminded by Hou San, everyone was extremely careful and descended the slope one by one in the arranged order. When Ning Xiaofan was the last one to descend to the bottom of the steep slope, it had already taken nearly two hours.
At the bottom of the steep slope is a cave space, which is spacious. Looking around through the flashlight, there are strange stalactites all around.
There is no shortage of caves in the mysterious world of tiankeng, and stalactites are found in every cave, which everyone is accustomed to. However, when walking down this extremely long slope, everyone can't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts.
I am getting further and further away from the ground.
This cave is spacious, so everyone does not have to follow one after another. Instead, they gather in groups in twos and threes and continue to march forward. At this time, Li Wanting also generously held Ning Xiaofan's arm and walked alongside him.
Walk.
This cave was deep and dark. After walking for more than an hour, everyone still couldn't find a way out. As time went by, everyone felt a little uneasy. If this road didn't work, they would turn back. Thinking about it would make them dizzy. You know
, that 90-degree slope is easy to get down, but it is even more difficult to climb up.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy and worried that the road was blocked, the so-called good and bad spirits, the situation that everyone was least willing to face, appeared. There was no road ahead, and what came into view was a hole without any cracks.
wall, and an underground river that flows slowly but whose source is unknown.
No way?
Originally, everyone was thinking about finding a way out from the upstream or downstream of the underground river, but the space at the end was less than two hundred meters in radius and was clearly visible at a glance. The underground river flowed out from under the cave wall on the right, and then passed through.
Pass through this cave space, and then flow in from under the cave wall on the left.
Encountering this geographical situation, everyone couldn't help but look at me and me, and they were all dumbfounded.
No, are you really going to go back?
Ning Xiaofan was a little unwilling to give up, so he used a flashlight to follow the bank of the underground river to the lower reaches. There must be caves downstream, otherwise, the underground river would not be able to flow out.
When they reached the end of the cave wall, Ning Xiaofan used his flashlight to carefully shine a light on the exit of the river. There was indeed a cave. The river was about two feet away from the top of the cave.
At this time, the fat man who came with Ning Xiaofan seemed to understand Ning Xiaofan's thoughts, and picked up a stone and threw it down.
The stones fell into the water, and Ning Xiaofan and Fatty's eyes suddenly lit up. This underground river was not deep.
"Xiaofan, the water is not deep, I will go down and measure it again."
The fat man said, kicking off his boots excitedly, and then took off his pants.
"Be careful, what if there is a piranha?" Ning Xiaofan reminded him kindly, he had not forgotten the terrifying piranha he encountered when crossing the river.
Piranha? The fat man couldn't help but shiver. He couldn't take off his pants anymore. He smiled and said, "Well, fat man, my meat essence is so expensive. Why don't you try it with someone else?"
Ning Xiaofan rolled his eyes when he heard this and looked at Fatty with contempt: "I say Fatty, your meat essence is expensive, so other people's meat is not expensive?"
The fat man chuckled: "I don't care, I'm timid. Anyway, I won't go down."
The only person who could describe timidity so plausibly was Fatty. Of course, extremely shameless guys like him often live a happy life.
Ning Xiaofan knew that the fat man would not go into the water, so he was too lazy to persuade him, and he could not let others take the risk of going into the water. Of course, he himself was not willing to take the risk himself. In desperation, he squatted by the water and looked at him with a flashlight.
Shine your light into the water to see if there are any aquatic organisms in the water?
After some illumination, it seemed that there were no aquatic creatures in this underground river. However, the brightness of this flashlight was limited and could not reach the bottom of the water. Ning Xiaofan was still a little unsure.
"Xiao Fan, did you find anything?" the fat man asked.
"Not found yet."
"Well, just shining with a flashlight won't do much, you have to think of another way."
"What can I do?"
The fat man didn't respond. He stretched out his hand and began to fumble around Ning Xiaofan's pocket.
"Hey, Yu, what are you Yu?" Ning Xiaofan quickly blocked his dirty hands.
"Looking for meat. You should have some big pheasant meat left over there, right? If you throw a piece of it in, you can tell if there are any piranhas or something like that in the water."
This is a way. Ning Xiaofan felt happy, but glanced at the fat man: "Go, go, you don't have any left? I remember that you have hidden a lot of private food."
The fat man smiled shamelessly: "No, Fatty, I eat a lot, and I've already eaten the private food. Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't bring out the meat, Fatty will have to ask your beautiful landlady for it."
"
With the fat man's shamelessness, he could really ask Li Wanting for moa meat. Ning Xiaofan glared at him angrily. He reluctantly took out a piece of moa meat and was about to throw it into the water.
Throwing it away, the fat man grabbed it and took a bite first, then threw the remaining half piece into the water and said vaguely: "Don't waste it, half a piece is enough."
