Tomb Robber: Stop pretending, I am the Zhang family!

Chapter 59 Intermittent Thermal Fountains
When I went out to take a look, I saw that it was a huge underground karst cave, with no end in sight at a glance, and a raging underground river rushing through, with a large flow of water, and the exit was on the rocky beach beside the river.

The underground river is as wide as a basketball court. The top of the cave is about ten meters high. The left and right sides extend infinitely. I don’t know where it leads. The surrounding stones have become very smooth after years of erosion. The cave is a natural formation. Yes, there are a lot of traces of artificial construction inside.

The water flow is very turbulent, and the loud sound of water heard just now is because the cave structure here is like a loudspeaker, amplifying the sound of running water.

When they came to the river, they suddenly felt a tangy heat wave. The water temperature was quite high, and they were a little bit uncomfortable, and the water got deeper as they went forward.

There are many stone piles on both sides of the river, and iron chains as thick as arms are tied to the piles, which seem to be used for bridging.

Old Tick put his hand into the water, tested the water temperature, and exclaimed: "Damn, it's hot—it's hot to death!"

Zhang Yunfeng pulled him to the river and said, "Be careful, there should be many intermittent hot fountains under the water!"

"No-no-won't it?" Old Itchy looked at the water surface in horror, "I've heard of this thing, the water-the water temperature is extremely high, it can burn people instantly, this-this-this Trouble..."

Before he finished speaking, a string of yellow water jets suddenly exploded not far away, and sprayed to the top of the cave in an instant. When it sprayed down, there was steaming heat, and the temperature was extremely high at a glance!

"My god, it's really—really—really an intermittent hot fountain!" Old Itchy said with his eyes wide open, with a look of horror on his face.

"What should we do now? How do we get there?" Tian Zhen frowned.

"You can put a tarp on your body and pass quickly." Zhang Yunfeng said while putting down his backpack and took out a black tarpaulin from it.

The texture of the tarpaulin is very good, not only waterproof, but also temporarily fireproof, and it can definitely withstand hot water at a temperature of several hundred degrees.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you put a tarp on your body, it will be fine even if it is sprayed with hot water. The most important thing is to pay attention to the fountain under your feet. Don’t erupt suddenly while walking.

"This... isn't it a bit too risky, what if the underfoot erupts?" Wu Xie asked with some concern.

"No—it's okay, Old Wu, as long as we're fast enough, the fountain won't be able to catch up with us." Old Tick said.

He has come here, how can he give up halfway?

"Okay, let's all be careful, if the situation is wrong, we will withdraw immediately." Naive nodded.

Then several people each took out a tarp, put it on their bodies, and then walked into the water. When they got into the water, they felt that they had entered the oil pan, and their whole bodies were heating up. Fortunately, the heat was within the range that their bodies could bear. .

As a result, just after walking a few steps, a column of water suddenly exploded a few meters away from them, scalding hot water sprayed on the roof of the cave, and it was about to spill down.

"It's not good, let's go!" Zhang Yunfeng exclaimed, and then quickly swam forward, using the fastest speed in his life.

The two were also taken aback, and they swam desperately forward. They knew very well that as long as they were slow for a few seconds, the scalding hot water would rush down the current, and they would be cooked instantly!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Using all fours together, they swam forward as fast as they could.

Fortunately, it is going downstream along the water, so the speed is not slow.

At this time, the hot water from the fountain also fell down, mixed into the water, and the water boiled instantly, billowing white smoke!

After a few breaths, the crowd rushed hundreds of meters away. At this moment, a gust of warm water surged up, causing several people to scream. Fortunately, the skin was not scalded. It turned out that the high-temperature boiling water of several hundred degrees was diluted by a large amount of river water. After that, the temperature dropped a lot.

This level of hot water is not enough to burn people, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they relaxed their vigilance, Zhang Yunfeng, who was swimming in the front, suddenly slowed down, and turned around and shouted to the two: "Stop!" !There's a-"

As a result, before he finished speaking, the two of them rushed in front of him, and he was so anxious that he quickly grabbed them, but the turbulent water, coupled with the impact of the two, even rushed him down.

Several people suddenly felt that their feet were empty, and then fell freely, falling into a pool tens of meters deep. After just a few seconds, they fell into the water with a plop and sank quickly.

Fortunately, the depth of the pool was deep enough. Zhang Yunfeng sank for several meters before gradually stopping. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had almost sunk to the bottom of the pool. There were many stones underneath. Gotta hit the rocks.

In desperation, he hurriedly used all four limbs to float up, and then he stopped sinking and stepped on a soft object.

Zhang Yunfeng was taken aback for a moment, then looked down, and saw that the thing he was stepping on was a pale corpse. He didn't know how long it had been soaked in the water. Most of the flesh on his body had been soaked, and the whole corpse looked like It was very swollen, the two eye sockets were empty, and the eyeballs didn't know where to go, and it looked extremely hideous.

Thanks to Zhang Yunfeng's courage, he reacted after being stunned for a moment. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be scared to pee.

He took a closer look and found that the corpse was wearing a winter mountaineering suit and was carrying a backpack behind him. He looked like a climber. He probably fell to his death accidentally while climbing the mountain, and was washed all the way by the water. underground.

Zhang Yunfeng didn't bother to pay attention to the corpse, but looked around, and saw Tianzhen knocked his head on a stone, and immediately passed out from the pain, blood mixed into the water at once, it seems that the knock was not serious .

Old Itch was not far away, but this kid was lucky, he didn't get hurt, and when he saw them, he swam over immediately.

The two came in front of Tian Zhen, dragged his body to swim upstream quickly, and came out of the water after a while.

"First - first drag him to the shore." Old Tickle pointed to the shore, panting.

Afterwards, the two dragged the naive to the shore together.

The old itchy looked at his injuries, immediately took out the first aid kit from the backpack, sewed two stitches on the innocent head, then applied some anti-inflammatory powder, and finally wrapped it with a bandage a few times.

Zhang Yunfeng turned on the flashlight to look around, and found that they were in the cave of Crescent Moon Lake, next to it was the black water pool, which was huge in size, and countless thigh-thick stalactites hung down from the top of the cave, forming stone pillars of various shapes.

There are several karst caves around the pool, the big ones are like tunnels, the small ones are like rat holes, and each one is bottomless. On the whole, this is a typical karst cave underground lake.
