Indiana Jones

Chapter 231 Underground Dark River (05)

As people went deeper into the cave, everyone had more and more doubts. What is this place used for?Why would someone build a passage in such a place?Judging from the traces excavated on the cave on the rock wall, it should have been drilled from the inside. What is the inside?What are those people doing in there?
"This passage was dug very rough. It can be seen that those people were in a hurry at that time, which is really strange." Zhang Dachuan still has a little understanding of this kind of thing. He has a natural affinity for caves, which can bring him wealth and hope.

"This should be an escape route, otherwise no one would open things in this kind of place, maybe it's a mine, or it might be a tomb... There aren't many places where this kind of passage can be used, but it's obvious to dig this The purpose of this passage is to escape from this place, so the people inside are likely to be trapped, or they have to escape from here, I hope it is the latter." The woodcutter said.

Everyone understood what he meant. If the people who dug this passage chose to open a road here because there was no way out, then they might be walking towards a deep dead end. This is a situation that no one wants to face , but they still have a glimmer of hope, after all, no one wants to face the unknown monster and giant bat behind them.

"Then aren't we betting on luck?" Stan finally couldn't help it.

"We have been gambling on luck ever since we were forced to enter this place." Si Xuanyi said with a soft sigh, "Actually, we had no choice from the beginning, we could only go one way to the dark."

"I hope this is a way to survive and take us out of this place." Li Siming was also very disturbed.

The passages are wide and narrow, only a small part of them were excavated by hand, most of them borrowed from the trend of the cave, or even a crack in the mountain. If they hadn't found some signs indicating the direction along the way, they would probably be in this kind of place. Get lost, because the cracks on these stone walls are everywhere, like countless cracks on a piece of dry bread, and many cracks are criss-crossed to form a huge maze.

"There is the sound of water." Lin Feng said in front, but other people couldn't hear anything except some messy noises and echoes. They really couldn't compare with Lin Feng in this respect.

"Where there is water, I hope everyone will work harder." Si Xuanyi began to boost morale.

"Hurry up, this place is too aggrieved." Zhang Shoucheng said with a frown.

In this way, they walked forward in the wide and narrow passages for about ten minutes before they finally heard the sound of rumbling water ahead. They really couldn't figure out how Lin Feng heard it so far away.

As the humidity in the air got closer to the source of the sound, the stone wall was wet everywhere, and it was extremely difficult to walk. They supported the wall and continued to move forward, passing through a road that only accommodated one person sideways. After the gap between them, they finally saw the water in front of them. It was a huge waterfall that flew straight down. The huge water curtain blocked their way, and the road was cut off...

"How is it possible?" Several people stood in front of the waterfall dumbfounded.

"Impossible." The woodcutter frowned, and took a closer look at the hole. "The excavation started here. It can't be a dead end here. It doesn't make sense."

"Could it be a waterfall formed the day after tomorrow?" Li Siming's thinking was still very clear.

"It's possible, but it won't appear here." Lin Feng squatted on the ground, "Look at the traces of the waterfall, it won't be formed without thousands of years."

This is correct. The so-called water dripping through stone is a phenomenon that is purely accumulated over time and can only be formed after tens of millions of years. Although this is a waterfall with a huge amount of water, it will take quite a long time to grind marks on the stone. , It takes at least hundreds of years of history to wash out such a big hole in the stone, which means that the existence of this waterfall is much earlier than this passage, but the biggest problem comes, that is, when this passage was dug How did the people in this place get to this place? Judging from the traces of excavation, this place should be the starting point of all projects. Those who drove all the way, it is impossible to appear here out of thin air, and then drive all the way out. impossible.

"Look for the edge of the waterfall. Maybe the waterfall has expanded and covered the road." The woodcutter said loudly to everyone.

There is indeed such a possibility. Even if the waterfall has always existed here, the increase and decrease of the water volume is indeed possible. Perhaps the water volume was not large when this passage was dug, and those people probably got in from the gap next to it. , everyone couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this guess, and began to search.

But the result disappointed them greatly. The waterfall was just a waterfall, and nothing was found beside it. This made them very annoyed, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Why don't you go back! Don't waste time here." Zhang Dachuan was a little anxious, and Dali's condition was getting worse and worse.

"I don't want to go back. I just don't want to go to the place where I have to swim." Zhang Shoucheng shook his head like a rattle. Those who were recruited in that place, no one wants to go again.

"This can't be a dead end, but we haven't found it yet." Lin Feng walked slowly by the water, carefully observing every place he could see.

"Be careful there is something in the water." Li Siming reminded him.

"It's impossible in such rushing water. Even if there is, it should be dazzled by the waterfall with such a big drop!" The woodcutter seemed to have thought of something, and followed him to check, and the two walked along one left and one right. Walk slowly by the water.

"What else are you looking for? How do you get past such a big waterfall? You can't be photographed as meatloaf?" Stan said dejectedly, he was already a little desperate.

"Judging from the excavation traces, this place is indeed the very beginning." Si Xuanyi kept shining his flashlight in all directions, "But the problem is how did they get in? There is no other place to go. Only the outside of this waterfall is the most likely, so this waterfall should be able to pass through, but we don't know how to do it."

"You make a lot of sense." The woodcutter knelt down and stared at the water for a while, then jumped down, and stood up again amidst the exclamation of the crowd. It turned out that the water here was not very deep. There was a swarthy thing in there, "Look what this is?"
