Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 189 Water Snake Cave

After drinking a bowl of millet porridge and eating two deep-fried dough sticks fried by the old Zhao family, we headed for the mountains with a surging heart.

Zhao Lianqiao was carrying a long-barreled shotgun. The barrel alone was more than 1.5 meters. The barrel was black and shiny, and the paint on the butt was a little peeled off, as if telling the story of the time that passed.

Zhao Lianqiao said: "I think when I was young, my family was even poorer. Apart from farming, I had to go to the mountains to buy some game. One was to satisfy my greed, and the other was to sell some money. If I was lucky, I could hunt a fox. Once I hunted a white fox, and exchanged the fox skin for a big color TV and came back. I was so happy. Another time, I hunted a wild boar, which was fat and thick. After we shaved and skinned it , Smoked into jerky, I ate it for a whole year, I have never eaten meat so much, and now I think it is the happiest year!"

We walked all the way and listened to Zhao Lianqiao's chatter.

"When I was a child, the water and soil erosion in Huangpiziling was not so serious. At that time, there were still stretches of forests, and there were many animals in the forests!"

"Here, do you see that hillside? It used to be a fertile field, but unfortunately it was covered by yellow sand later!"

"It used to be a pond. In summer, we all wore shorts and swam in the pond. Later, the Yellow River surged in and washed the pond away, turning it into a puddle. Later, the Yellow River flooded the pond. The depression is flooded!"

After walking for half a day, Lao Yang took out the map and looked at it.

A red cross is drawn on the map, which is the destination we are going to this time, Water Snake Cave.

That piece of land has no name, and Water Snake Cave is the name of Fengshui Cave, not the name of the place.

Turning around and walking down a barren mountain, I looked up and looked around. Although it was a bright and sunny day, the place looked a bit gloomy and gray, as if there was an invisible evil spirit shrouding the place, making people feel gloomy. Whoosh, extremely uncomfortable.

"Is this here?" Lao Yang asked me.

I nodded: "This place is very evil, it should be the Water Snake Cave, now let's split up and look around!"

"OK!" Lao Yang nodded, and quickly arranged his staff: "Captain Li, take Lin Wei and Han Xu to the north mountain to have a look; old bird, take Li Yuwen and Fang Weiran to the east slope; I, Tuobagu, Cao Yi, and Lao Zhao, let’s go to the hills to the west! The south is where we just came, so there’s no need to look back. Be careful, everyone, the corpse breeder is probably nearby! "

"Understood!" The three groups quickly dispersed according to Lao Yang's arrangement.

I followed Lao Yang to the hills to the west. The hills were bare and brownish-yellow, like a bald head, very ugly.The terrain of the hill is neither too high nor too short. When climbing to the top of the hill, you can just see the turbulent Yellow River meandering under the hill.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" I nudged Cao Yi lightly with my elbow.

Cao Yi subconsciously let out an ah, looking a little lost.

"What's wrong with you?" I sensed something was wrong with Cao Yi.

Cao Yi looked around and said in a low voice: "I always feel that something is wrong, as if... there seems to be a pair of eyes staring at us!"

As the wind blew across the mountain, Cao Yi's non-painful words made me shudder, and a fine layer of white sweat crawled out of my back.

I opened my eyes and looked around. The hills were bare, and it was clear at a glance, even where there were a few rocks.

"No one!" I said.

Cao Yi hugged his shoulders: "But I always have a feeling of being spied on, and it was very strong just now!"

"Being spied on?" I was taken aback, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

At this time, I saw Lao Yang pointing to the bottom of the hill and said: "What is that place?"

We looked down in the direction of Lao Yang's finger, and we could see a dark hole.To be more precise, it should be a tiankeng, which may have been formed after the collapse of the hills.The tiankeng is not very big, with an estimated diameter of 20 meters. The bottom is dark and nothing can be seen, just like the mouth of a monster.The cold wind poured out from under the tiankeng, making a whistling sound like howling ghosts.

Immediately there was an excited expression on my face: "Great, I think we found it. This tiankeng should be the Fengshui hole of Water Snake Cave!"

Lao Yang then became excited: "You mean, this tiankeng is probably the lair used by the corpse breeders to raise corpses?"

I nodded solemnly: "Water Snake Cave was originally a very dark Fengshui cave, and this tiankeng is also the hole of Fengshui cave. If I were a corpse raiser, I would choose this place as a corpse raising lair. It is very evil here. It is a natural place to keep corpses. Dead corpses staying in this geographical environment will be transformed into zombies at a much faster speed, and it will be easier to absorb evil spirits to practice and upgrade, and become even more terrifying white zombies or bronze armor. corpse!"

Lao Yang said: "Then what are you waiting for? Go down and have a look!"

I held up my palms: "Don't worry, let everyone gather here first!"

Lao Yang put on the wireless headset: "The first team and the second team quickly joined the western hills and found something!"

After receiving the order, the first team led by Captain Li and the second team led by Lao Niao rushed up to the hill to the west and joined us.

"Captain Yang, how's it going? Have you found the corpse breeder's lair?" Li Tienan's man hadn't arrived yet, but his voice had already arrived.

"There is a tiankeng under the hill. According to Tuobagu's analysis, the cemetery is the lair of the corpse breeder!" Lao Yang said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go down and have a look! Lin Wei, prepare the climbing rope!" Li Tienan's eyes sparkled, but in fact her eyes were very beautiful, very energetic, and full of heroism.

We quickly fixed our climbing ropes on the edge of the hill, then tied safety buckles around our waists, hung them on the ropes, and slowly hung them down with the hand-held lifter.The river wind here is very strong, blowing us left and right, so we descended cautiously, trying to keep as stable as possible, and the speed was not very fast.

After a while, we stood on the edge of the tiankeng, with our backs against the mountain wall, and the bottomless tiankeng was below.The wind is raging inside the tiankeng, and there are many turbulent currents in the air, as if they want to suck us down.We could only lean against the mountain wall tightly, the wind almost made us unable to open our eyes, and even our clothes began to rattle.

We put away the climbing rope, re-fixed the climbing rope to the edge of the tiankeng, and nailed it into the mountain wall.

I stretched out my hand and tugged hard. It was very firm and I didn't have to worry about the rope slipping off.

Looking at the dark tiankeng in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the holy well found under the Devil City in the Desert, which is also such a dark pit. It's a pity that all the people who entered the holy well at that time are gone now.

Hey, I sighed slightly, feeling dazed, and that familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of my eyes again.

"Tuobagu, what are you thinking? Go down!" Lao Yang raised his chin at me, the wind blew his voice away, and it sounded hoarse.

I took a deep breath, calmed down my fluctuating mood, and with a soft chirp, I jumped out like a swallow, and slowly slid into the sinkhole while holding the climbing rope.

As soon as I slipped into the tiankeng, my eyes suddenly went dark. The sun outside had not yet set, but the visibility inside the tiankeng was very low, like a dark world isolated from the world.Not to mention now, even when the sun is shining brightly at noon, there is no sunlight that can penetrate in. This is a place where there is no light all year round, and it is extremely cloudy.

Because there is no light in the tiankeng and it is beside the Yellow River, the temperature below the tiankeng is very low, cold and humid.We still felt unbearably hot outside, but after entering the tiankeng, we felt a chilly air wrapping our bodies tightly, as if we had fallen into an ice cellar.

We are getting farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave. Looking up, the entrance of the cave is slowly shrinking in sight.

As the vertical height continued to deepen, I even saw a thin layer of frost condensed on the rock wall.

The dark wind was whistling in my ears, none of us spoke, and the roar of the Yellow River could not be heard, as if I had entered a completely dead environment, I could clearly hear my heartbeat, thump, thump, thud, like a fierce drums of war.

Lao Yang took out two cold light sticks and slapped them on the rock wall a few times, and the cold light sticks immediately lit up with a white circle of light.

call!
Lao Yang raised his arms and threw the cold light stick under him.

Two circles of light were lit up below, like two small tents stretched out in the dark.

With the help of the two white apertures, we found that the bottom of the tiankeng was actually below us, and the height of the tiankeng was at most ten meters before the end.

It seems that the vertical height of this tiankeng is not very high, only 50 meters.

After landing, we quickly unfastened the safety buckle.

Li Yuwen, Fang Weiran, Lao Niao, and Cao Yi just untied the rope buckle, took out wolf eyes with their left hand, and took out a pistol with their right hand, like four sharp arrows, shooting out in four different directions.

"The east is safe!"

"The west is safe!"

"The south is safe!"

"The north side is also safe!"

"As expected of the elite of the serious crime team, he has good skills, and the teamwork is also very tacit!" Li Tienan rarely praised others, and he had never looked down on the serious crime team before. This was the first time he praised them.

Lao Yang smiled: "It's really not easy to be praised by Captain Li!"

Li Tienan turned her head away and did not argue with Lao Yang, she could naturally hear the ridicule in Lao Yang's words.

We swept around with our wolf eyes up, and several white light beams pierced the darkness, as if bringing the first light to this ancient dark world.

However, the darkness under the tiankeng is indeed very thick. Although the beams of the wolf eyes are very penetrating, they can only illuminate a distance of more than ten or twenty meters here. After this distance, there is a thick darkness .

The surrounding area was very quiet, a deathly stillness.

I have a weird feeling, we seem to be in a huge coffin, extremely depressing.
