Chapter 300 And 24th Fork In The Road
Chapter 300 And 24th Fork In The Road
The small raft galloped over the underground river, leaving a deep water mark, breaking the silence that no one has entered for thousands of years.
The further forward, the faster the water in the underground river, and the lower the temperature, so low that even Lu Ming felt a chill, but it also made him more curious about the end of the dark river.
Chen Xuan kept praying in his heart, hoping to reach the end of the dark river as soon as possible, so that he could return to the desert to feel the warmth of the sun, instead of shivering from the cold.
However, the sky does not follow people's wishes, and the dark passage seems to have no end. There are jagged stalactites everywhere, and occasionally seeing one or two tenacious Populus euphratica trees is a rare and beautiful scenery.
Suddenly, a different scenery finally appeared in front of them, which made the two of them shine.
They saw that the underground river was divided into two forks in front of them. There was a faint light in front of the road corresponding to the intersection on the left, and the other fork was still a dark, endless passage.
Chen Xuan suddenly became excited and said excitedly: "Lu Shen, let's go to Guangguang to see how it goes, maybe there will be an exit there."
Even if there is no exit, at least there will not be an endless dark river that is depressing, as long as he does not continue to drift on the dark dark river, after a few more days, he feels that he will go crazy sooner or later.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Lu Ming nodded and agreed, the paddle changed direction and rowed in the direction of the cave.
To be honest, apart from Chen Xuan, Lu Ming himself can't stand this endless underground river, it's better to go and have a look.
There was nothing unusual from a distance, as if it was the same as what they had seen along the way, but when they got closer, Lu Ming realized that there was actually a small cave at the end.
At the entrance of the cave stands a huge rock, like a shady judge, which is daunting. Lu Ming and Chen Xuan tied the bamboo raft to the stalagmite and carefully touched the hole, feeling refreshed by the cool breeze. The turmoil in the cave is rugged, and all kinds of strange rocks are naturally piled up, twisting and turning, gloomy and terrifying, just like hell.
At the very end of the cave was a small hole so narrow that it could only allow one person to bend over and crawl through. The light they saw came from this small hole.
Seeing that Lu Ming stopped, Chen Xuan squeezed in front of him and leaned down and tried hard to look inside, wanting to see what the scenery inside was in advance, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't see why, he stood up dejectedly and said: " Lu Shen, you can't see anything in front of you."
I thought there would be an exit in front of me, but after watching it for a long time, my eyes were almost blind and I couldn't see anything. What the hell is in this hole.
Lu Ming looked at the small hole and frowned, "I'll go in first, you follow."
Saying wow, he took off his backpack, stuffed it through the hole, and then crawled through the hole to reach the opposite side. Seeing this, Chen Xuan also learned from Lu Ming to take off his backpack and followed through the hole.
Passing through the small hole, Lu Ming and Chen Xuan patted the soil on their bodies, raised their heads and looked around, there was a car in front of them, and they couldn't help being stunned.
"This……"
Lu Ming looked at the surrounding environment in shock. The place was surprisingly bright, and it didn't look like an underground cave at all, but the surrounding stalagmites, stone flowers and the like clearly told them that this was the underground dark cave where they were just now. The end of a fork in the river.
This is a huge karst cave. According to Lu Ming's visual estimation, there are thousands of squares. There are stalagmites, stone mantles, and stone flowers scattered throughout the karst cave. There are also stalagmites that extend from the ground to the sky, looking like natural stone pillars.
The most amazing thing is that the top of the cave is not a rock wall covered with stalactites, but transparent. The sunlight shone down from the top, as if there was nothing above them, but the refracted light and the feeling that there was no temperature on the body told Lu Ming that the top of their heads was not completely empty.
The audience who had been following Lu Ming through the dark passage all felt a little drowsy. After seeing this strange scenery, they sat up straight and stared at the video with wide eyes.
"God, this place is too beautiful. Where did Lu Shen and the others come from?"
"If this place is developed into a tourist attraction, it will definitely make a lot of money..."
"Where does that underground river lead to? Lu Shen and the others have been walking for so long, and it's not over yet."
The audience couldn't help indulging in this bizarre beauty, and they were even more curious about the scenery at the end of the underground river. Everyone's sleepiness was driven away by this beautiful scenery.
"My god, what's going on with Lu Shen? How can someone install glass in the desert? Are we approaching the town of Lop Nur?"
Chen Xuan didn't doubt that they were in the desert at all. He was very surprised that someone could install glass in a place like the desert. He even wondered if the two of them had come to some scenic spot in front of Lop Nur, and the glass above his head was the attraction. A glass plank road built for people.
Lu Ming looked at the transparent object on top of his head, and when he heard Chen Xuan's words, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know whether this guy's imagination was lacking or rich. If he said he was lacking, people could think of glass. A little too outrageous.
"These are not glass." Lu Ming said with a smile: "Obviously, there is a large layer of ice above our heads. If you look closely, there are obvious ice flowers that are frozen to the extreme and are about to crack. In terms of transmittance, glass is much stronger than ice."
As soon as he looked up, he noticed the abnormality on the top of his head. How could there be such a large ice layer in the desert, which made him wonder for a while whether there was a deviation in his travel route, but the locator and compass now Still in disarray, and doesn't point the way to them.
Moreover, they are now underground, and they cannot judge their position based on the amount of astronomical knowledge. If they want to know where they are now, they can only see it after they return to the surface.
"Ice layer, and ice flower?" Chen Xuan raised his head and stared hard at the top of his head. He could only see a shallow layer of transparency and the sunlight on it. He couldn't see where the ice flower was that Lu Ming said, and rubbed it for a while. Rubbing his eyes, he said admiringly, "Lu Shen, you are really amazing. How on earth did you see Binghua? I can't see it at all."
I also know that Lu Ming's eyesight has long reached its peak under the transformation of Potential Drink, and he can see very small things from far away, and Chen Xuan only recently drank some of his potential in water accidentally. Drinks, although the five senses have improved, they are still far from Lu Ming.
The corners of Lu Ming's lips twitched slightly, but without speaking, he began to search around the cave to see if he could find any clues that could prove their location.
