Chapter 25 Jingluan

The four people walked tiredly on the long river embankment for several hours. The length of the river embankment was beyond imagination and seemed to be endless. According to the speed they were walking, this place was fifty kilometers away from the collapsed site, which was far beyond the normal load of the human body.

"Cousin, I really can't walk anymore. The blisters on the soles of my feet are so painful that they are numb." Zhao Xixi said and sat down on the river embankment, refusing to go any further. .

Jiang Xiaobao also sat down and kept breathing. Or, let's take a rest. We have walked a long way. You can see that the water in the river is no longer so turbulent. The geological structure should have stabilized. If it still collapsed all the way, it would not be here now. Everything here has collapsed a long time ago.

"Okay, let's take a short rest. Don't take too long. I always feel uneasy." Song Yijin took out the beef jerky and distributed it to the three people, and then took out a bottle of water for Chen Mingzhi, At this time, except for Chen Mingzhi who lost his backpack, there were only six bottles of water left in the backpacks of the three people.

"Don't throw away the water bottle after drinking. The water in this river should be drinkable. Fill the empty bottle first and put it in your bag for later use, because you don't know if there is any water source ahead."

Zhao Xixi sat and chewed beef jerky vigorously, took off her braids and shook her head, looking at the direction of the river without saying anything.

"No, senior sister, why is your hair flying?" Jiang Xiaobao suddenly opened his eyes, a little frightened.

"Don't be startled. Isn't it normal for your hair to flutter."

"This is a closed underground space. Where does the wind come from?"

Song Yijin was puzzled: "What's going on?"

"Don't ask any more questions first, get down quickly, or it will be too late!" As soon as Zhao Xixi finished speaking, she saw the airflow above began to rotate, and the vortex became more and more spinning. The faster it goes, a huge vortex has formed in the blink of an eye. The vortex quickly grew in size and began to incorporate large amounts of rock dust of various colors. Under the refraction of light, these rock dust formed a huge rainbow light column.

However, this is just the beginning. In just a short time, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of such vortices appeared near and far away. There are more and more of these vortices, as if they are endless, and the entire space is occupied by these vortices and light pillars. A large number of rocks on the ground were also lifted up and rolled into the light pillars, and then were thrown high into the sky, and then sucked into other light pillars.

It all happened so fast that it was impossible to react. The four people jumped into the water in desperation and lay down under the river bank hand in hand. They clung to the rocks to steady themselves. Suddenly a horizontal beam of light rolled in, and Jiang Xiaobao's body was sucked in. Although he held on to the rock, it had no effect. Then Zhao Xixi, Chen Mingzhi and Song Yijin were all drawn into the beam of light like frogs. The beam of light quickly rotated and merged. Entering another beam of light, the four people were dizzy, but they still held each other's hands tightly and refused to let go. The wind speed at this time had slowed down significantly, but the updraft was very strong, floating them upward like bird wings. Fly deep.

"We must hold hands tightly and never let go!" Song Yijin shouted loudly. All the items in the backpacks and pockets of the four people had been blown away.

"Why didn't we fall?"

"The updraft was too strong. As long as we kept our balance, we wouldn't fall."

"The wind stopped. Did it just fall?"

"It won't stop suddenly. It will fall when the air flow weakens."

I don't know how long it took when the four people worked hard. When they raised their heads, they couldn't help but scream again. The air current was carrying them towards the stone wall! They were so frightened that they closed their eyes. When Song Yijin was forced to move, the airflow encountered the obstacle in front and turned in the opposite direction, gradually becoming weaker and smaller until the four of them finally landed safely.

The first thing Song Yijin did after coming down was to ask everyone to check if there were any injuries. "Thank God, I finally didn't come down. I was scared to death. What kind of phenomenon is this?"

"Seeing that I was swept up into the sky, I thought that this time the fun is over."

"I'm so dizzy now that I'm going to vomit."

"Me too."

"Let's leave quickly. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave quickly."

But when When the four people got up, they found that the place they were in was surrounded by rock walls on three sides, and the sky also extended to here. "We have reached the end of the egg-shaped space." Jiang Xiaobao said.

"Look there -" Everyone looked in the direction of Chen Mingzhi's finger, and saw that there was indeed a cave entrance about ten feet high.

Zhao Xixi had an ecstatic look on her face, and she shouted excitedly: "The entrance to the hole is at the tip of the egg. Let's go over quickly and see where it leads!" After that, she couldn't wait to move toward Run towards the cave entrance.

The other three people followed closely and quickly moved along the stone wall towards the entrance of the cave. Although Song Yijin walked at the end, he always remained vigilant and kept scanning his surroundings to prevent encountering dangerous situations again.

When they ran to the entrance of the cave, they found that it was very different here. The entrance to the cave was huge, about ten feet high and three feet wide. A heat wave breath came from inside, but the light was dim and could only be vaguely See the rugged stone walls and strange-shaped upside-down rocks above your head, which look like natureIt's a masterpiece carved with uncanny craftsmanship, and the ground is fairly flat. Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Xixi carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then said: "The geology here should not change any more. It looks like a deep and dark cave. I don’t know what is hidden inside. "Where's the secret?"

"This is like a huge living room. Let's set up camp here and take a rest!" The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is nothing to eat or drink."

"Fortunately, it is quite warm here, the temperature is quite pleasant."

"Oh, I don't know where I dropped my backpack. Go, is there really nothing now?"

"Come on, don't worry about it anymore, just sit down and rest, recharging your energy is the top priority." Chen Mingzhi sat down. He stood down and pressed his back tightly against the stone wall. After the whole day, he was so tired that he even had a blurred concept of time. At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else, and he fell asleep within a few moments.

"You two should rest quickly, I will stand guard for you." Zhao Xixi and Jiang Xiaobao saw that Chen Mingzhi was sleeping so innocently, and they themselves were too sleepy and weak, so they lay down on the ground casually, and in an instant Then he fell asleep.

After the three of them fell asleep, Song Yijin stood up carefully and walked back to the egg-shaped space gently. He thought that he must find the backpacks of three people. Who would have thought that before he could walk out of the cave, he heard Zhao Xixi shouting loudly from inside: "Brother, do you want to run away alone? Don't you care about us anymore!"

" That's not the case, I just want to help you find your backpack," Song Yijin quickly explained.

"We have to look for the backpack together. If you are going out alone now, why don't you want to leave us behind? You are our team leader, and you must not go alone. !" Zhao Xixi said firmly.

"You really misunderstood me. I really don't want to go alone. Okay, then I won't go looking for a backpack." Song Yijin replied helplessly.

"Then come here quickly, sleep in the innermost room, and stop making any more evil ideas!" Zhao Xixi said reluctantly.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

Song Yijin had no choice but to return to the cave, found a relatively flat place next to Zhao Xixi and lay down to sleep. Although he felt somewhat sad, he couldn't say anything more, and he didn't want to cause more disputes and conflicts. So, he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.

The four of them fell asleep for three or four hours, but Zhao Xixi woke up several times to check on Song Yijin. She was still afraid that he had escaped. four peopleAfter waking up, my condition was much better, and I had a really comfortable sleep.

"What is inside this cave? Why is there a heat wave coming towards us?"

"I guess it is also an egg-shaped space. I don't know what's going on inside." Let's go over and take a look. Anyway, we don't have anything on us right now. It doesn't matter where we go. My eldest cousin wants to go back and look for our backpacks. I don't think it's necessary and it's impossible to find them. I'm mainly afraid of him. One person ran away and didn’t care about us, hahaha,” Zhao Xixi said.

"Impossible. My eldest cousin is not such a person. How could he run away? I believe that Chen Mingzhi wants to run away."

"Don't worry, Chen Mingzhi, just ask him to run away alone. , he won’t even run away.”

“I really don’t want to run. Where can I run? If you don’t find a backpack, you will be hungry.” None."

"Forget it, it's a collapse and a tornado. Don't take any more risks. It's better to keep going inside."

"Let's go inside now. , Let’s see what’s over there?”

The four people then continued to go inside, and walked for about half an hour and five to six kilometers before they seemed to reach the end. But when they saw the outside of the cave, they were stunned. Outside the cave was another strange world. They saw countless mountains rising and falling from near to far, and clear and transparent rivers lay at the foot of the mountains. Moreover, these mountains were all shining. The bright refracted light, the sky shining with countless stars, made them think that it was the night back on the ground. Each star shone with a bright and cold luster, including purple star color, ruby ​​red, red and green, the brightest ones It's golden.

"What kind of place is this? There is sky, mountains and water, but it's just not that bright."

"You see, the mountains are full of shiny things and there are no plants. What kind of mountains are they?"

"This is another egg-shaped space. Let's go down and take a look. Be careful not to touch anywhere."

"Will there be wind here? ? Will it be like those tornado light pillars in the egg-shaped space behind, suddenly blowing up without warning? " Chen Mingzhi's heart was full of doubts and worries.

"Normally, in such a closed space, there will be no wind flow. The tornado light pillars you mentioned behind are actually caused by the collapse of the ground and the influx of river water into the collapse. It creates an extremely powerful negative pressure. Under the influence of this huge pressure difference, the air will produce such strong convective movements, and eventually form those terrible tornadoes. Therefore, we must be extremely careful and never touch it easily. Touch or destroy this place," Zhao Xixi explained seriously.

Chen Mingzhi nodded, now he understood the stakes. He really didn't expect that just a small move on his part would lead to such serious consequences..

The four people came down carefully and found a flat place to walk. They felt that the ground temperature was high. They found that the river here was also distributed in one direction, extending from the position under their feet to the inside. The river water was different from the previous one. Similarly, although the river water here is clear and transparent, it feels gelatinous and not pure liquid.

From time to time, Zhao Xixi looked up at the sky and then at the water in the river. She suddenly realized, she said: "I know, this is not water, this is hot liquid, the hot liquid of silica. You see, the shiny cave ceiling above our heads is covered with countless sparkling crystals. The water in this river contains high-density silica, which will volatilize upward under a certain pressure and gradually form over a long period of time. A crystal with a regular geometric shape."

"How far is it from Donghai County in Lianyungang?"

"In terms of distance on the ground, it is more than two hundred kilometers. "

"It's not that far. I didn't expect there to be huge crystal mineral deposits. Its veins may be connected to the East China Sea."

"That's true, look at it. The sky is as bright as stars. The sky is like an ever-expanding vein of minerals, some extending to the surface and even exposing the ground."

"The light emitted by these crystals makes the entire cave even more beautiful. Mysterious and beautiful."

"The underground is full of treasures!"

The four of them walked along the river to find a flat place. Jiang Xiaobao kept reminding everyone to pay attention to safety. Don't fall into the river. The hydrothermal fluid in the river looks calm, but in fact it is hundreds of degrees hot. As they walked, they found that the mountains in front of them began to look different. Large areas of flat land appeared on the ground. The mountains were all cut vertically upwards into the sky, forming a Shaoxing Stone Forest-style mountain forest, which was very magnificent.

They carefully left the river embankment and took the road in the valley. Chen Mingzhi was amazed. He had often heard that farmers in Donghai County could unintentionally dig out crystals when they went to farm, and then sold them to dealers at low prices. He thought that crystals should also be dug out of the ground here. Look at this Huge straight-cut mountains thrust straight upward, shaped like stone pillars, and they must have penetrated into the surface of the earth.

"These mountains are full of crystals. We are walking in the crystal world now. Human beings still know too little about the underground world. There are endless treasures everywhere underground."

"Zhao Xixi, is this space also an egg-shaped space?"

"Yes, but it doesn't look as big as the one in front."

"Be careful, run forward!" Behind Chen Mingzhi suddenly screamed, and the three of them didn't bother to look back, and immediately spread their legs and ran forward as hard as they could. At this time, Chen Mingzhi ran back and in the opposite direction. After running for about two hundred meters, Song Yijin and the others heard a huge rumbling sound from behind. Two huge upright mountains collapsed from top to bottom. Fortunately, they did not fall towards them, but collapsed sideways and collapsed.After hitting another mountain, all three mountains were smashed into several sections, and the cross section reflected a faint purple light.

"No, where is Chen Mingzhi? Where are the others?"

The three of them looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

"Didn't he shout from behind just now, telling us to run forward?"

"He couldn't have been smashed in, right?" Jiang Xiaobao's frightened eyes Look at the other two people.

"Chen Mingzhi..." The three people immediately returned to look for Chen Mingzhi, risking the mountain's collapse. They were shouting and searching anxiously beside the collapsed mountain.

"Stop looking, hahaha, I'm here!" When he said this, Chen Mingzhi had already run around the collapse from other places. The three of them just breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. Jiang Xiaobao scolded Chen Mingzhi for still having the mood to laugh, saying that he was almost scared to death by him instead of being smashed to death.

"It was too dangerous just now. Why did the mountain fall down?"

"This time it has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything!"

"Who knows, even if you didn't do anything, your greed will be surging!" Jiang Xiaobao still didn't spare him.

"Let's get out of here quickly. What if there is another mountain collapse? If another continuous collapse occurs, it will easily cause a domino effect, and we will not be able to run by then."
