Chapter 445 The Mystery of the Falling Cliff Spikes
Crazy Six was extremely calm at this time. He squatted on the edge of the cave entrance and carefully observed the bottom. I suddenly realized that this panic and yelling were useless. The more at this time, the more calm I had to be. So, I
He also quietly squatted next to Crazy Six and looked down with him.
Crazy Six thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed the rope and tried to pull it up. After he pulled it like this, I realized that there seemed to be something wrong - the rope had become loose. Could it be that Xiao Lei had already
Untied the rope? Crazy Six pulled the rope quickly at this time, and after a while, the rope was completely pulled up.
This was a surprise to us, because even if Xiao Lei untied the rope, the rope would not loosen - after all, there are so many "cliff climbing nails" fixing the rope to the cliff. What's even weirder is,
Those "climbing nails" were still tied to the rope, but each one became bent and soft. Crazy Six stretched out his hand to tentatively touch the "climbing nails", but as soon as he touched them, he felt as if he had been burned.
He retracted his hand.
Will rock climbing nails get hot? I followed Crazy Six and touched it tentatively. Crazy Six quickly said: "Be careful of getting burned." Before he could finish his words, I had already touched the "climbing nails" and I only felt my fingers.
There was a stinging pain, and I quickly retracted my hand. It was so hot!
At this time, everyone gathered around.
"Is this kind of 'climbing nail' a fake product? Otherwise, how could it be like this?" Hongmei asked in surprise.
Crazy Six shook his head, but did not explain much. He just said lightly: "Not necessarily, maybe there are other reasons." Then he carefully observed the end of the rope.
What shocked us was that there was obvious blood stains at the end of the rope, and the rope was obviously cut, not untied. An ominous feeling immediately appeared in all of our minds. Seeing these
, Hongmei’s tears, like broken beads, fluttered down.
What to do now?
If Xiaolei had an accident while going down, then if we go down again, not only will it not help, but we will die in vain, not to mention the current situation is still unclear.
At this moment, the intercom suddenly rang, and Xiao Lei's voice came from inside - the voice was accompanied by rapid breathing: "I'm fine... I just encountered an accident... an incredible accident...".
Then, there was no sound again, but our hearts immediately felt a lot more at ease. Although we had thousands of things we wanted to ask him, after all, it was not the time yet.
Now, the walkie-talkie has become what we pay most attention to - everyone gathers around, listens carefully to the sound on the walkie-talkie. This is the only channel for us to understand Xiao Lei's situation.
But the intercom became silent again!
This time, no one spoke to Xiao Lei again, because we gradually realized that the situation Xiao Lei faced might be very dangerous. If we rashly used the walkie-talkie to shout, not only would we not be able to help, but we would also probably distract him.
, causing him to be discovered by the enemy. For example, if he is hiding somewhere, if the walkie-talkie on his body suddenly rings, it will be exposed immediately, so we can only wait quietly.
As time passed by, we became more and more anxious. Hongmei took the walkie-talkie several times and wanted to speak, but she only opened her mouth a few times and refrained from saying anything.
Waiting is a kind of suffering, especially for us now. But now we are in a hurry and can't help at all, so we can only wait like this.
In this way, about half an hour passed. Suddenly, we heard a thumping sound. Everyone immediately became vigilant. Everyone entered a combat mode and carefully identified where the thumping sound came from.
of.
Crazy Six suddenly pointed at his feet - we all heard it too. The sound came from his feet. Is there also a hole under the ground at the entrance of this cave? Then who is down there? Why is he banging so blatantly?
?Do you know we are up there?
As he listened, the knocking sound suddenly became regular. After listening to it for a few times, Crazy Six's eyes lit up and he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "This is Xiao Lei below. He wants us to quickly open the lid.
He can come out soon."
Hearing what Crazy Six said, we all got excited, but when we thought about it carefully, it was a bit strange - how could Crazy Six be able to tell that it was Xiao Lei just based on the knocking sound? And he could also tell Xiao Lei's intention.
?This is so strange! Although he can see the meridians of the human body, he cannot see through stones. If this is the case, how does he know?
However, at this time, we don’t care about asking these questions. Since Crazy Six said yes, we will take action immediately and find a way to get Xiao Lei out of it.
At this time, Xiao Lei was still banging, and the force was very strong. Under his violent impact, a square crack appeared on the stone ground under his feet. Needless to say, this should be the shape of the hole cover, madman
Liu Ye picked up a small stone and knocked it there frequently. Xiao Lei inside seemed to understand what Crazy Liu meant and stopped knocking.
How to open this hole? Crazy Six knelt on the ground and observed bit by bit. Suddenly, he found a groove that was blocked by soil, so he quickly took out his knife and started cleaning it.
After cleaning it up, everyone discovered that it turned out to be a handle with a hollow in the middle. I quickly put my hand in and pulled it up suddenly, but could not pull it at all. At this time, Old Man Ouyang and Crazy Six also put their hands in, and
I pulled together, but it still didn't move. At this time, Hongmei said "Wait a minute", and then moved on the other side of the cover.
On one side, we stepped on a raised place with our feet and stepped hard. Then, the three of us tried our best to lift the stone cover. Only then did we discover that the stone cover had ten
It's more than centimeters thick. With such a thickness, speaking inside would be absolutely inaudible from above, and information could only be conveyed through percussion sounds.
The person inside was indeed Xiao Lei. He poked his head out first, then held the edge of the hole with both hands, and came up from the inside with a bang.
Only then did we discover that there was a lot of blood on Xiao Lei's body. Hong Mei immediately went over nervously to check Xiao Lei, but Xiao Lei smiled tiredly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this blood is not mine, I am not injured."
.”
Everyone was really relieved to see that Xiao Lei came back safe and sound, and also found a cave entrance leading below. This was definitely good news for us. The tense and anxious atmosphere in the cave was suddenly diluted a lot.
.
"Thankfully I'm here, otherwise it would be useless for you to type Morse code, because no one can understand it," Crazy Six said with a smile.
"Ha, it was because I knew you might know Morse code that I thought of this method. I didn't expect you to understand it immediately. It seems that your basic skills back then were still very solid," Xiao Lei said with sincere admiration.
.
It turns out that what they just typed was Morse code, which should be a required course for spies. No wonder the two of them can communicate with each other just by tapping.
Xiao Lei first walked into the cave, changed out of his bloody clothes, and then came to the entrance of the cave and told us about the wonderful experience he had just had.
It turned out that when Xiao Lei entered the cave entrance, he had already discovered that the 'cliff climbing nails' did not work at all and had fallen off. Fortunately, no other accidents occurred and he was able to enter the cave entrance safely.
For some reason, the wind at the entrance of the cave was so strong that he could hardly open his eyes. He tried hard to grab a stone at the entrance of the cave and barely entered the cave. But just as he used the intercom to tell us that he had entered the cave, suddenly, from
In the darkness, something rushed toward him. The thing moved very fast, but Xiao Lei reacted faster and easily dodged it. At the same time, he waved the dagger in his hand and struck the thing.
After a slash, the thing let out a scream and a stream of blood spurted out.
The dagger in Xiao Lei's hand did not stop, but cut the rope around his waist. He quickly walked a few steps into the cave against the wind. When Xiao Lei saw the thing clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked -
Although we have seen many monsters of all kinds, the thing in front of us is not scary, but also too unbelievable.
In fact, it is said that the thing looks like a fox, and it is a red fox, but it is very big, almost the same as a sheep. Such a big fox should be very scary to look at, but it is even more terrifying.
Yes, half of that thing’s skull is exposed. In other words, half of that thing’s head is actually white bones!
It’s incredible that an animal can still live with half of its skull exposed! Half of its face is made of flesh and blood, while the other half is made of bones, which makes its expression even more ferocious and scary, making people shudder to look at it.
, even Xiao Lei, who has always been calm and bold, couldn't help but become a little panicked.
When the thing was scratched by Xiao Lei, it was stunned for a moment, and then pounced on it. Xiao Lei dodged left and right again, stabbing it several times, and even stabbed the thing in the heart once.
, but the strange thing is that the thing seems to be invincible, not affected at all, and its attacks become more ferocious.
Xiao Lei immediately realized that this was really terrifying, a monster that seemed impossible to kill. He knew that his only choice was to escape as soon as possible.
So, Xiao Lei immediately ran into the cave, dodging the bites of the thing as he ran. Moreover, the light got darker and the wind got stronger as he ran inside, so he had to turn on the flashlight.
After running more than ten meters inside, under the illumination of a flashlight, he found that the cave suddenly bifurcated - one was downward, and the other was upward, and the huge wind force was the downward direction.
It blew from the cave.
Xiao Lei didn't think much and quickly chose the upward cave. What was strange was that the monster behind him did not continue to chase, but escaped along the downward cave.
Xiao Lei was secretly happy to sit at that fork in the road, breathing heavily. Because we kept shouting on the intercom, he quickly responded and said everything was fine.
Originally, he was going to climb up quickly along the rope, but suddenly he thought of those "cliff climbing nails" mysteriously falling off, which made him frightened. The cliff seemed very unsafe. When he descended, it took only a short time.
He had already reached the entrance of the cave before the danger occurred; but when climbing up the rope, it was different. It would take several times as long, so the chance of danger would be many times greater.
Looking at this upward cave, Xiao Lei decided to try walking up. So, holding a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other, he slowly came up along the spiral cave. When he arrived at this cave
After reaching the top, he took out the altimeter from his waist and took a look. Suddenly, he discovered that the height of the top was exactly the same as the height of the cave we were in! And at the top, he saw a lid that could be opened and closed, but the lid was too small.
Hey, he tried several times but couldn't open it.
But with a strange intuition, Xiaolei felt that the top of the lid should be the floor of the cave where we were, so he took out his engineering shovel, pointed at the stone lid, and tapped in Morse code. Fortunately,
Chapter completed!
