Chapter 173 Climbing the Volcano

When Zhao Yanling stirred up the dense fog, an unusual gray-white ball that was slightly different from the fog appeared.

Ah Xue said it was a worm cloud, and Sun Lei poked at the gray ball with a long stick: "What is a worm cloud?"

"do not move!"

But it was already too late, the gray and white dumpling crawled along the pole, and a spot as small as dust and water vapor reached Sun Lei's arm in an instant.

Sun Lei let out an "ah", and the skin and flesh of the fingers holding the pole quickly melted away, revealing a thick white bone.

The sudden change stunned the people present.

"I dare not look at it."

"Creepy."

Zhao Yanling reacted swiftly, and threw the towel towards the probe to cut off the gray spots that followed along the pole.

The speed of the gray spots attached to Sun Lei's hands increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a new cloud of mist, which continued to spread towards the entire palm.

"Ah, help me get rid of it, quickly..." Sun Lei let out a miserable howl, comparable to the sound of killing a new year's pig.

Wang Qingxuan backed away in shock, and Ah Xue also distanced himself: "He is hopeless, and he will definitely die if he encounters Chongyun."

Raising his hands, Zhao Yanling had an extra bottle of Zippo lighter oil in his hand, and quickly poured it on another towel to light it up, ignoring that the flames burned the hairs on the back of his hand, he took it and slapped Sun Lei on the back of his hand.

A slight crackling sound was heard, sparks erupted from large gray spots, and a smell of burnt feathers came, making one feel dizzy and dizzy to touch.

Zhao Yanling knew that the burning gas of this thing was also poisonous, so she quickly held her breath.

While beating, he said to Sun Lei: "Retreat, they move very slowly, as long as you don't touch them."

He opened the target, and found that it was countless dust-sized insects with small claws, and the density made the scalp numb.They are connected to each other with claws to form a whole, shoulder to shoulder, once they touch a living thing, they will entangle, and they will reproduce rapidly when they suck flesh and blood.

It wasn't until he couldn't see any small white-spotted insects that he threw the towel on the cloud of gray-white insects.

The camera caught his hands being blistered, and Shui You remembered everyone's reaction when he faced the crisis just now.

"At critical moments, we still have to rely on Lao Zhao."

"Being able to respond to adversity is beyond courage."

At this time, Sun Lei's index finger, middle finger and part of the back of his hand were gone, but there was not much blood oozing out.Seeing the cruelty of the bone in his hand, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Zhao Yanling dragged him back 20 meters before stopping, and bandaged the wound first.

As for the probe that entangled Chongyun was discarded, no one was willing to take the risk of going back to get it.

"what happened?"

A Xue looked at Sun Lei's miserable state with lingering fears: "In 68, my grandfather and the others were hunting, and it was also a foggy day. One of them found a pheasant flying towards him. The man was very happy and said that today only He missed the prey, and God sent it. The pheasant flew directly into his arms, and he caught it and held it up to show off. But almost in the blink of an eye, the flesh on his body disappeared, and the skeleton and clothes were scattered on the ground This incident was a sensation, and it can be found on the Internet, and there are still legends about the worm cloud in Indonesia."

Zhao Yanling had seen clearly before that when eating flesh and blood, the insect cloud would multiply and grow rapidly, and it was the fastest growing and multiplying species he had ever seen.

Zhao Yanling looked at Sun Lei who was pale and closed his eyes tightly, and raised his head and said, "Send him back for treatment."

He felt that Ah Xue didn't say something, but he thought it would affect the morale of the army and lower morale, so he didn't ask.

At this time, Sun Lei suddenly opened his eyes: "No, I can't go back."

He gritted his teeth, looked down at the bones and fingertips of his hands, the pain was piercing, but he held back howling.

Things hurt their kind, Wang Qingxuan's face was uncertain, he understood why Sun Lei insisted.In the contract signed with Xingchen, injuries are clearly classified into grades, and different degrees have different subsidies.If you die, you will be compensated a lot, and if you are slightly disabled, it will be different.But as long as the target is found, great wealth will be obtained.If you give up halfway now, you can only get a disability subsidy.

It's all about money!
Zhao Yanling didn't have a contract, and besides Wangcai and Weili Yulin Dart, he still had 500 million commissions.Among them, 200 million have already been obtained, and the other 300 million will be given after the event is completed.He drew up his will as early as the end of his trip to Africa, and if he died unfortunately, all the money would go to his parents.Compensation for casualties and the like are a joke to him, his parents can't spend all his own money in their lifetime.

He asked Sun Lei cautiously: "Are you sure it can still work?"

"Don't worry, I'll admit it when I die, it's nothing special."

Losing the probe, Wang Qingxuan took out a spare instrument.

After this accident, the atmosphere became much quieter. Everyone knows that the various things about Baiyun Valley are by no means sensational.

A Xue suddenly pointed to the front and said, "At that time, Mr. Zhou Huiqiang stopped exploring here. He saw those bones, and happened to see a bird being sucked into the hole. He felt that it was beyond his ability."

Zhao Yanling stepped forward, there was a cave not far away, there was no vegetation outside the cave, and the weak light showed that there were bones and bones piled up, and it was hard to tell what kind of animal it was.

A Xue said: "If it is translated into Chinese, this is called the Taotie Cave, which will suck creatures into the cave, dotted all over the Baiyun Valley, and this is the most dangerous place."

There's something wicked about this place, and those bones can't be faked.Zhao Yanling asked: "Is it the wind? I know that there are countless volcanoes in Java Island. There are 58 volcanoes above 1800 meters, 14 volcanoes above 3000 meters, and countless small volcanoes. Could it be that the lava is underground? Corroded criss-cross melt holes, creating suction tension between each other?"

"The breathing hole under Dabai Mountain is still fresh in my memory."

"The scene where Lao Zhao was suddenly sucked into the cave was really dangerous when I think about it now. If he fell into the abyss, the current Lao Zhao might be a puddle of flesh under the abyss."

"I think some of the bones in there are human."

A Xue shook his head and said: "It's definitely not the wind. From ancient times to the present, the human beings who died in the Taotie Cave may have been counted in hundreds. Just last November, there was a Russian explorer who insisted on coming and refused to listen to my dissuasion." Approaching the entrance of the cave, the result was sucked in instantly without any wind. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and the follow-up guide fee was not settled. Once sucked in, the survival rate is 11, so the mystery of these caves has not been solved yet. Because no one came out alive. Scientists said it was some kind of magnetic field or something. If you don’t believe that if you approach the hole from the side, the electronic equipment will definitely fail.”

Wang Qingxuan shook his head like a rattle: "No!"

Going around the entrance of the cave, Ah Xue emphasized: "The Taotie cave is easy to distinguish, and there is no grass at the entrance of the cave, which is dangerous. Some are very hidden, and you can't find them until you get close, so you have to follow me closely, this is not a joke."

Just as it was said, the instrument in Wang Qingxuan's hand had changed. He spun around in place, calibrated and said happily: "We can try our luck in that direction."

Everyone turned their heads and saw the majestic and towering peaks, and the volcanic ash periodically fertilized the land, making the soil fertile and oily.So even though the mountains are steep, the vegetation grows lush.However, the mountainous area has a lot of rainfall, and the dense moss and lowland vegetation that can't be seen on the ground are daunting.

Wang Qingxuan ran a few steps and scratched his head: "Maybe we have to climb a mountain."

Axue looked embarrassed: "This is a volcano, even I have never climbed it, the safety or danger on it is unpredictable..."

Looking at rookies Sun Lei and Wang Qingxuan, Zhao Yanling immediately made a decision: "You guys stay below and watch my live broadcast. I'll go up and see for myself."

Wang Qingxuan handed him the instrument: "You take this, just go up and show me the parameters."

They camped at the foot of the mountain, but fortunately Zhao Yanling was well prepared.Trekking poles were useless on this slope. He took out equipment similar to Antarctic ice axes, with hand guards on the handles to prevent falling off, and the pointed ends were planed firmly on the wet mud under the moss.

Wang Qingxuan said curiously: "Mr. Zhao's mountaineering bag is a treasure bag, you can take out everything."

No one paid any attention to him, Zhao Yanling headed up the mountain with Wangcai.

There are almost no trees on the volcano, mostly ferns and green moss, and the surroundings are like furrows in fields.This is more tiring than rock climbing. I knew that he would also make iron climbing equipment for his feet.

In order to increase friction, the limbs are almost attached to the mountain, and the clothes are all soaked.

"Maybe Lao Zhao has never climbed this kind of volcano."

"This should be an active volcano, the kind that erupts frequently, and there are no bushes."

"I wonder what they're looking for."

There were blisters on the back of his hand, but he didn't notice it.Muscles pulsate with the movement, and there is an alternative violent beauty.

Although the climb was difficult, Zhao Yanling's physical strength was unsurpassed, and he persisted for more than 20 minutes before resting.

Looking at the white clouds on the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, looking down the mountain from the mountainside, it seems that the clouds are beside you.

No wonder it was called Baiyun Valley, Zhao Yanling couldn't tell whether it was cloud or fog below.

He slammed the ground with his toes, digging two deep pits, then leaned up and stuck his heels in the pits, and the pick was stuck under his armpits.

During the break, he took out his mobile phone to watch the barrage of water friends.

"You are finally free to talk to us."

"Did you make it? Someone broke the news that you and Zhang Lianyi took a mandarin duck bath in an Indonesian hotel."

He asked for details. The so-called "shit week" posted on Weibo, breaking the news that Zhang Lianyi and the blocked explorer and star Zhao Yanling were playing in Indonesia.However, the photos released only show the two of them alone in the hotel pool.Among them, the photos about Zhao Yanling were still taken from the live video.

Thinking of the paparazzi caught by him that day, Zhao Yanling said with disdain: "Do you believe this kind of thing? I was doing a live broadcast at the time, and I took a random picture and used it to slander me, treating everyone as a three-year-old child?"

And Zhang Lianyi's husband hurriedly jumped out and said that he believed in his wife and they had a very good relationship... Thinking of the man who really had something to do with Zhang Lianyi, Zhao Yanling spat and took the blame for others for no reason .

"When you go back to China and sue him, sue him for bankruptcy."

"The shit is not cleaned up every week, and he is not a good guy who broke the news. This time he actually slandered Lao Zhao!"

Enough rest, Zhao Yanling concluded: "It's not worth suing him for legal fees. When I'm free later, I'll let him live the old-age life of retirement in advance, and let him spend the rest of his life in bed."

Is this an open threat?But soon some water friends remembered about the Tomb of the Sun in Antarctica. Old Zhao's words did not contain any violent words inside or outside, so they were not considered threats.However, Shuiyou believes that the old Zhao might have all kinds of fears, but now he may really be able to do it!
