Indiana Jones

Chapter 76 Cave Maze (03)

Everyone looked at each other looking at the water flow that filled the river again. What's going on?Just when they were wondering, it didn't take long for the water flow to decrease again, and finally the river channel was completely exposed again, and it was filled again after a while.

If he went down rashly just now, he might be directly swept away by the current. Being washed away in such a dark cave system is not much different from death. This made Ma Zhong frightened for a while. If it wasn't for Rhodes, he would have jumped down just now.

"Fuck...the water supply is out of order?" Ma Zhong said again without thinking, and of course everyone thought he was farting.

"Shouldn't the water keep flowing? How could it stop?" Li Siming said with a frown.

"I don't know, I've never encountered such a situation except for the water ditch at home." Agui shook his head.

"Ditch? Is it similar to this?" Li Siming asked.

"If someone cuts off the water upstream, there is a possibility that if the water is blocked and opened, the water flow will be intermittent." Agui said.

Rhodes looked up at the upstream and fell into deep thought. Si Xuanyi didn't quite understand this phenomenon. Although Agui said there is a certain way, it is impossible for someone to intercept the upstream in this kind of place. There should be a kind of them Formed by forces not yet known.

"Better hurry up, the devils are following." Li Siming jumped off a rock, "It's about ten minutes away, and their speed is not slow."

"I seem to have heard... this kind of statement somewhere." Liang Rong said seriously.

"Have you heard? This kind?" Si Xuanyi seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope.

At this time Rhodes muttered something, Liang Rong's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, Si Xuanyi also noticed it, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

"It's an underground intermittent river." Liang Rong said, "Yes, it's an intermittent river."

"What the hell?" Li Siming asked with a frown.

"Intermittent rivers are intermittent rivers in volcanic active areas. Lava hydrates the formation into water vapor, and the water vapor rises along the cracks. When the temperature drops below the vaporization point, it condenses into high-temperature water. It erupts every once in a while, forming intermittent rivers. , is actually a geyser with a large enough volume." Rhodes explained silently on the side.

A few people understand half of what they understand, the education they have received is not that comprehensive, at best they can read and write, it is not easy to understand the wind, frost, snow and rain, they do not understand these mysteries of nature at all.

"The interval between two currents is about one minute. This is the time we need to cross the river." Rhodes didn't speak just now, so he was calculating this.

"Let's go, find a place that is easier to pass." Si Xuanyi looked at the dark river bank opposite, it seemed that there were more steep rocks and it should not be easy to climb.

The group walked downstream for a while, and the water was relatively calm. The river here is wider and larger, but the water depth is shallower. The most important thing is that the river bed is flat and it is easier to walk. Taking advantage of the intermittent space, they quickly After crossing the river bed, the sound of rumbling water came from the upper reaches almost as soon as they boarded the opposite bank. At the same time, they also saw the flashlight of the devil shaking in the distance. It was too dark here to see the distance, only to see There were not a few devils there, and the devils came chasing after their torchlight, so they didn't follow the same route as them, they followed them obliquely from a distance.

A Gui raised his gun and aimed at that side for a long time, but he couldn't tell how far the distance was. Shooting under such visual conditions was basically a waste of bullets, and the possibility of hitting was extremely low.

"Go... Keep the distance as soon as possible, and it will be over if they catch up." Li Siming urged everyone.

After crossing the river, the stones on this side are even bigger, and the gaps are much larger than those on the other side. They can walk between the stones, at least they can play a certain role in blocking the view. The river sand is a bit like the bottom of a dry lake. I don’t know where it was at the beginning. They can occasionally see traces of snakes in the crevices of these stones, but they haven’t seen a single live snake since they came in, only a large number There are so many snake sloughs that they can cover the sand on the ground.

"There are so many, is this a snake den?" Ma Zhong asked in a low voice.

"The snake will only shed its skin in a place where it feels safe enough. This place is obviously ideal." Rhodes said as he walked, "But now it seems that these snake skins are very old. It should be a long time since snakes have come here to shed their skin."

"There are so many, and they will definitely sell for a good price when they are sent to the pharmacy." Ma Zhong said looking around.

After listening to Liang Rong's translation, Si Xuanyi also noticed that the snake skin here has not been short, but the traces of the snakes crawling on the sand are clearly visible. Is it true that no snakes have come here for a long time?If this is an ideal place for venomous snakes to shed their skins, why didn't they come all of a sudden?Could it be that there is something here that threatens their existence?Thinking of this, he remembered the skin of the giant python he saw before, it was a fresh snake slough, even if there were no poisonous snakes here, there would be giant pythons.

It was too dark around them, and they couldn’t see anything except the stones around them. This oppressive feeling made them extremely uncomfortable. There seemed to be many things hidden in the darkness staring at them. Suddenly, there was a gunshot behind them. No need to guess. Everyone knows that they are Japanese, but they don't know what they are fighting with.

"The distance is about 300 to [-] meters, and they are still on the other side of the river." Li Siming climbed up a boulder and looked behind and said, "They are shooting, I don't know what they are shooting."

"No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't trouble us, it doesn't matter." Si Xuanyi greeted him from below, "Let's go."

Everyone quickened their pace again. It was undoubtedly good news for them that the devil was in trouble. Although they didn't know where they were going, they should at least stay away from the devil behind them.

"What smells so bad?" Liang Rong asked with a frown.

"Ah Gui..." Si Xuanyi didn't try to guess, but asked directly.

"It seems to be the smell of fermented dung." Agui said.

"What could that be?" Ma Zhong asked with some vigilance.

"I don't know, the dung of many things has this smell." Agui also frowned, "Why does this place look like a pigsty?"

"Could it be that someone raises pigs here?" Li Siming pulled out a rag and covered his mouth. The smell was really unpleasant.

"Listen, what's the sound?" Rhodes stopped everyone and motioned for everyone to listen carefully.

"Mouse?" Li Siming heard a mouse-like cry in a trance, but it was only a short sound. I don't know if it was a hallucination.

"There are mice here? What do they eat?" Ma Zhong asked with a frown.

"Go, at least the mice are not in danger." Si Xuanyi patted Rhodes.

Rhode obviously felt that this matter was not that simple, but he didn't know if it was dangerous until he discovered the abnormality, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
