America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 197 The Bottom of the Cave
"Is your leg okay?" Chen Jianqiu walked to He Jiasheng's side.

Teresa is giving him a simple bandage.

"It's okay, young master." He Jiasheng put down his trouser legs and stood up again, "A little skin injury, when I was building a railway in Nevada, I often encountered such things, just wipe it with spit twice and it's fine gone."

"It didn't hurt the joint." Teresa also stood up and wiped the sweat from her head.

"En." Chen Jianqiu nodded, and he looked at Teresa.

Auntie's black dress had a corner torn, and the monster's glands were smeared all over her body like them, making it smelly and fishy, ​​and the dust and sweat on her face were mixed together, and it looked like a big painted face under the light of the torch.

Logically speaking, Chen Jianqiu shouldn't bring Teresa down in such a narrow and complicated environment. Firstly, she is not young, and secondly, her skirt is not convenient for her to move around.

But Teresa insisted on following them all the time. She couldn't worry about her husband, and she couldn't worry about the children she followed all the way.

And Chen Jianqiu also desperately needs a senior medical staff by his side. At critical moments, maybe they can really save their lives.

"You're alright, it's been hard work for you all the way with us rough men." Chen Jianqiu said apologetically.

"Uh~ yes, yes." Sean whispered.

"Yes, yes, my wife..." Danny stood beside Sean, just about to say something.

Teresa turned around, glared at the two people, and pointed at them: "You two, shut up!"

One black and one white, one tall and one short, they immediately shut up, like two children who have made a mistake.

In the cave just now, there is a high probability that it was their homesickness, which "awakened" those stalactites that had been sleeping for many years

Teresa saw that the two of them were gone, so she turned to Chen Jianqiu again: "Chen, what do you think we should do now?"

Chen Jianqiu walked to Holmes' side.

Professional matters have to be consulted by professional people. In this regard, he has always chosen to believe in the professional abilities of the team members.

This cave doesn't look big from the outside, but the caves inside are connected one by one, and there are all kinds of strange things. If you walk around blindly, not to mention finding the treasure, you may be trapped to death inside.

The geologist was leaning against the rock wall and squinting his eyes to study something. Chen Jianqiu held a torch and did not disturb him.
"Chen, let's keep going down. If the descendants of the Aztecs really want to find a spacious place suitable for storing things, it should be at the bottom of this cave. There may be an underground road there. river or underground lake."

Holmes made a judgment from the perspective of cave formation, but he still hesitated.

"However, I'm not very sure, and there may be many forks in the road."

"Let's go, we don't have much choice now." Chen Jianqiu said, "As long as there is air circulation, we are at least safe."

He took a new torch from Liu Dabao's back and lit it, and handed it to Danny: "Let's keep going."

The formation of the team has not changed, Chen Jianqiu and Holmes are still leading the team, walking at the front of the team.

Before reaching a fork in the road, Holmes carefully gave his own suggestions, and Chen Jianqiu made the choice.

Chen Jianqiu replaced language with footsteps.

He knows that every choice he makes now is actually no different from gambling.

Even so, Chen Jianqiu's footsteps were still extremely firm, without stopping or hesitating.

The road in the cave is full of twists and turns and twists and turns.

After going around a few times, they entered another large cave.

The stone road ahead became narrow and steep, all the way down, extending into the darkness where nothing could be seen.

With previous experience, this time all the members were silent, they even lowered their footsteps, and the cave was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

There is an air flow passing through the cave, making the torch flicker, reflecting the uneven cave wall and those strangely shaped stalactites,

Their shadows, and those of the procession, danced on the other side of the cave wall, mingling with the real scene.

This makes the scenery in the cave look more grotesque and illusory.

"Boom."

The sound of a drop of water falling into a deep pool.

"Boom."

The sound came from outside the light range of the torch.

In the dark, where it cannot be seen, it may be from the dome, or from other locations, drop by drop of water is continuously falling.

"Is there water below?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head and said softly to Holmes.

Holmes nodded.

They continued down and soon reached the bottom of the cave.

This is a flat land.

Different from the unevenness of the ground in other caves, the rocky ground in front of me is extremely smooth, as if it has been polished by someone.

It's a surprisingly flat platform.

Chen Jianqiu raised the torch in his hand high, and when he looked around by the light of the fire, he realized that he had greatly underestimated the size of this place.

Here the ground was so wide that the light of the torches could not reach the end of it.

Rather than saying that this is a platform, it is better to say that it is a square.

"Wait here for a while, Holmes and I will go around first." Chen Jianqiu said.

Chen Jianqiu held a torch and walked along the outer edge of the square. He wanted to try to measure the size of the square with his feet.

Every few steps, you will see some strange stones erected on the ground. Like the stalactites on the dome, they are also made of limestone corroded by water containing carbon dioxide, so the shape is naturally wanton, and you can do whatever you want.

Chen Jianqiu felt that the visual impact brought by these stones and their shadows was no less than that in the cave just before.

Illusion is also true.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Jianqiu found himself at the edge of a puddle of water.

He looked up, and sure enough, water droplets were continuously dripping from above, falling into the lake in front of him.

On the periphery of this flat land, there is an underground lake.

Chen Jianqiu walked to the edge of the square, squatted down, and looked towards the lake by the light of the torch.

The lake is pitch black, bottomless, and there is no life to be seen, except for occasional "gul, gurg" a few bubbles turning upwards.

This piece of lake is like a pair of deep eyes, turning into a bottomless abyss. When Chen Jianqiu was staring at it, he was also staring at Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu felt something was wrong, he felt that if he continued to look at it like this, he would have an urge to jump in.

"Holmes, your guess is really accurate, but these three sides can't be surrounded by lakes like this. Could it be that this flat square is an island?"

Chen Jianqiu stood up and said.

However, no one answered.

"Holmes?"

Chen Jianqiu turned his head and found that the geologist was standing there blankly, looking towards the center of the square with a blank expression.

There, beyond the reach of the fire, it was pitch black.

Chen Jianqiu frowned, he sensed something was wrong with Holmes.

Even when geologists are kidnapped to such an extent that they can't live without love, they don't have this expression and state.

However, whether he was bewitched or bewitched, Chen Jianqiu had his own way to get this person back.

Butcher Hu has used this method on his son-in-law, and the effect is not bad.

Just as Chen Jianqiu was about to slap Holmes on the face "lightly", the geologist's body suddenly moved.

He spread his legs suddenly and ran towards the center of the square.
