Chapter 30 Mysterious Cave
Hearing the shouts of Yuanxiao, I hurried over. I saw a lot of green chain-like objects scattered under the cliff. Yuanxiao reached out to pick up a piece and held it in his hand and slammed it. "It should be bronze, it looks like it is rusted like this." After rubbing it with his hands, the bronze chain turned into powder.
"But how could there be so many chains?" I looked around and it seemed that only here was there.
Yuanxiao looked up and looked up, "I think this should have fallen off from it. There is a lot of moisture in this place, and the bronze is easily oxidized. After a long time, it cannot bear its own weight, so it breaks."
I also looked up and looked up. At this time, the fog had not completely dissipated. I could not see clearly and could not find out where it broke. "In this way, this bronze chain hung down from somewhere above."
"That's right, think about why a chain is hanging here? It's just to transport things or leave people. This means there should be a way out. Instead of being trapped here, it's better to be a living horse and go up and go for a break!" Lantern Festival analyzed seriously, and I thought it made sense.
We picked up all the broken chains in the grass and carefully placed them on the ground again. We basically restored the broken chains. We measured that the length of this chain was about thirty meters, so that we could roughly estimate that we had to lie at least thirty meters in height before we could reach the other end of the chain.
For us two people who only have experience climbing walls, thirty meters means about ten floors. We looked at each other and saw a little fear in each other's eyes. But we had no way out and continued to move forward became our only chance!
We sat on the ground, ate some food and recovered our strength, and then took out the climbing pick in our backpack. This made me think of Shi Tao again. This picked pick was prepared for us. Although the contact was not long, he left a deep impression on me, reliable and brave! Although I didn't talk much, I could always stand up at critical moments. I have thought more than once that if Shi Tao was not injured at this time, our situation would be better. I don't know how he is now.
"Okay! Don't hesitate, let's go!" Yuanxiao interrupted my thoughts and had already begun to climb upwards.
I also held the mountaineering pick and followed. Fortunately, the cliff was eroded by rain and snow, and there were many rock bulges on the surface, which helped me a lot of climbing. We first smashed the cliff into the cracks of the rocks with the mountaineering pick, and then looked for the focus points under our feet. We didn't seek speed but stability, so we moved up little by little.
I don’t know how long I had climbed, but my arms were already a little sore. I planned to look back at the height I had climbed up, but when I looked down, I felt dizzy. If I were standing on the ten-story building and looking down, I might feel that it was the case. But if I climbed on the cliff like me and looked down, the height of the ten-story building would definitely make you shocked. I felt my body shook, and I quickly pulled the handle of the climbing pickaxe, lay on the cliff again, closed my eyes to calm down, shook my head and continued to climb up.
"It's coming soon! I saw a big cave upward!" Lantern Festival, who was a little above me, suddenly shouted excitedly. When I heard this, I was also excited and couldn't help but speed up.
At this moment, Yuanxiao suddenly screamed in horror, "Ah!!" Then his hand, which had already grasped the lower edge of the cave, suddenly slipped down due to fright, so Yuanxiao sank down and his whole body suddenly swung to one side. Fortunately, his hand holding the climbing pickaxe did not release, so it did not fall. Yuanxiao quickly stood firm again in a hurry, lay there and let out a long breath.
This kid was in danger, but I was caught off guard by him and was kicked heavily on my face. A bloody smell immediately filled my mouth. I endured the pain and grabbed the rocks and the mountaineering pickaxe tightly. I didn't bother to rub it, so I quickly asked Yuanxiao in panic: "What's wrong? What happened? What did you see!"
Yuanxiao "stopped" and thrust with her mouth, "Is there a dead person next to that cave?"
"Diet? Fresh?" I asked.
"What tm is fresh?! What else is fresh in this dead person? You are afraid that it will be bad if it turns out to be bad!" Yuanxiao made a disgusting move.
I glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on?"
"There is a human skeleton rack."
"Damn!" I was a little speechless. I thought to myself, you boy, tm crazy! The sixteen skulls were just now, and you were like a bracelet in your hands. You were not afraid. You are pretending to be a weak young man now! I shouted to Lanxiao: "Aren't you just still a skull search expert? Why are you pretending to be innocent now!"
Yuanxiao seemed a little aggrieved, "It's different from before. This time I just stuck my head out of the lower edge of the cave when I suddenly saw a skeleton lying there, looking at you with a face close to my face. There is only one centimeter between us at most, so no one is afraid!"
"Okay, okay! You are mentally prepared now! Then hurry up! I can't hold on with this posture!"
Only then did Yuanxiao climb up carefully. When we were prepared, we all avoided the opportunity to face-to-face contact with the skeleton.
The entrance of this mountain cave is indeed very spacious, and it looks almost fifty square meters long. The skeleton is lying on the edge of the cave entrance.
"Did this guy die if he was trapped here and unable to go?" Yuanxiao said, looking at the skeleton on the ground.
"It shouldn't be! If I were to fall down and die than to starve to death!" I looked at the skeleton's posture and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Lanxiao, do you think this person is, and you plan to crawl out and run away, but failed and was killed by something that caught up?"
"I'll go! Don't scare people! Things along the way are so weird! Don't talk nonsense!" Yuanxiao looked into the depths of the cave with some horror. "Or, let's continue to look up and see if there is any other way out?" As he said that, Yuanxiao walked to the edge of the cave and looked up, but as he looked at it, he suddenly said "Huh", and I hurried over: "How did you find other roads?"
"No!" Yuanxiao continued to look around without moving her head, and reached out to get enough of it.
I asked him, "What are you doing? What are you finding?"
Yuanxiao turned his head and said to me, "Zhuoran, hold my legs tightly!" Although I didn't know what he was going to do, I still grabbed one of his legs tightly. I saw Yuanxiao sticking her body out of the side of the hole as much as possible and reaching for something. After a while, Yuanxiao retracted her body and actually held a mountaineering rope in her hand. One end of the rope was held in Yuanxiao's hand, and the other end was extended upward from the hole. The mountaineering rope was very new and clean, and it was obvious that someone had just gotten into the hole not long ago.
Yuanxiao and I were both excited and nervous about this discovery. We were both excited and nervous. We saw all kinds of weird things along the way, and finally saw the same kind again. Of course, we were very happy, but then we thought again that those who could come here were not ordinary people, or even desperate people. And we were completely half-baked guys who broke in by accident. Will they be silenced directly!
Although we were nervous, if we met others, we still had hope of going out. We decided to go inside the cave first to explore the situation.
"Hey, Zhuoran, why are your mouth bleeding?" Yuanxiao turned his head and looked at me and said.
"Nonsense! It's because of you! It's just that when you slipped your hand, I was under you and was kicked hard by your kid!" As I said that, I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and spitted a mouthful of bloody saliva.
"Really! Sorry, sorry!"
"Okay, don't be pretentious! Go away quickly! Just stop harming me!" I interrupted Lantern Festival and turned on the flashlight to walk deep into the cave.
