C614 Island Cave
C614 Island Cave
Then, Lee Shun led me around the side of the cliff to the shady part of the island.
The sunlight was not shining in here all year round, and the rocks were slippery and the air was rather cold. The surroundings were covered with grass that was as tall as half a person.
"Just now, I took Snowy around the island and accidentally caught a glimpse of a black hole. It's right here." Passing through the weeds, Lee Shun stopped at the bottom of the cliff. Pushing away the weeds, he surprisingly saw a small hole the size of a watermelon.
However, it was obvious that the cave entrance was not that big, because there were piles of stones of different sizes below, and there seemed to be traces of man-made piles, as if the people who had built this cave entrance had all been covered by stones. For some reason, perhaps it was due to the long period of wind, rain, or the occasional great wave that came crashing in, causing some of the stones above to fall, which resulted in this small cave entrance.
I looked at the height of the rock pile. This cave entrance wasn't small, it was more than a person's height, and its width was more than 2 meters.
He didn't expect that there would be a cave here, surrounded by weeds. If he wasn't careful, it would be difficult to find it.
I wondered who had blocked the entrance to the cave with a stone on this deserted island. Why did he block this hole?
Lee Shun looked at me. "Remove these stones. Let's go into the cave and take a look. "
I hesitated. "Is it necessary? There might be venomous snakes and ferocious beasts here. "
"Fuck, don't scare me like that. Do you think I'm the one who did it?" Lee Shun said without a care, "I've always been curious, so let's just treat it as an adventure."
I didn't say anything more. I waved my arms and pushed down the stone wall that had blocked the entrance to the cave. I cleaned it for a long time, pulling out as wide as I could.
A damp, musty smell wafted over them.
I shone my flashlight into the cavern. The interior seemed quite spacious and empty. It was just that I couldn't tell how deep and how long the cavern was.
"Let's go in and take a look." Lee Shun shook his head.
"Hold on." I stopped Lee Shun.
"What's wrong?" Lee Shun looked at me.
"It seems like no one has entered this cave for many years to prevent hypoxia." I put down the lantern and the tulip, made a torch out of the weeds beside me, lit it, and threw it in.
The fire was not extinguished.
"Go in." I was relieved.
Lee Shun and I entered the cave. I shone my flashlight on the ground. It was relatively flat, and once again it illuminated the surroundings of the cave. The cave was filled with strange rocks, and the musty smell was so strong that I couldn't help but sneeze.
Lee Shun and I carefully walked forward. I paid attention to my surroundings and carefully captured any unusual sounds.
After about ten meters, I found that the ground was gradually sinking, and the strange rocks on both sides of the road were more tightly distributed.
"Damn, this hole actually went down." Lee Shun muttered.
I didn't say anything. I looked around the cave wall and saw that the water was seeping continuously. It was wet, and the depression in the weird stone was dark. I didn't know what was hidden inside.
After walking down the tunnel for a while, the terrain became flat again. I roughly figured out that we were probably a few meters below the sea level.
The water in this place was relatively shallow. If the islands in the surroundings hadn't sunk into the ground, they would have been mountains. How did this cave come about? Could it be that he could even drill into the sea?
After walking for another 10 minutes, the tunnel in front of them became narrow. From the outside, it looked like an unfathomable corridor. The light from the flashlight penetrated through the darkness, allowing them to see the cave walls not far away.
I looked at Lee Shun: "Do you want to go further in?"
Lee Shun nodded: "Since we're here, let's see."
We went on down the tunnel.
The tunnel became more and more tortuous, and continued to descend. The ground was wet and slippery, and we walked carefully to prevent it from slipping. There were many forks on both sides of the tunnel.
I stopped again and said, "Let's not go any further. The cave is too deep. If we are lost inside, we will suffer. Let's return as soon as possible."
Lee Shun was still opposed to it and said: "What are you afraid of? It's just a small island, I don't believe that this hole will be that big. We have already gone so far, isn't returning now a waste of time? If we can't get to the front, we'll just go back along the wall. We won't get lost. Go, keep going. I'd like to see what kind of shit this cave is. "
The ground became more and more slippery, and dark paths continued to radiate from the main road we were walking down. As the flashlight shone on the path, it was dark and damp, with a layer of purple gas surrounding it. We didn't move, just walked along the relatively spacious main road.
As they walked further and further, the tunnel became narrower. Eventually, the distance between the left and right side of the cave walls was less than a meter, and strange shaped rocks crisscrossed one another. Sometimes, one needed to cling to the rocks in order to move forward.
When we walked up to a flat boulder, Lee Shun suggested we rest, so we stopped and I sat down on the rock.
Suddenly, a strange feeling came from the part of my body where I had touched the stone. The boulder beneath my butt seemed to be squirming slightly, and my palm pressed against the stone as if it were a cold, slippery body.
I broke out in a cold sweat and almost jumped off the rock. Seeing Lee Shunzheng smoking freely while using the flashlight to look around with a calm expression, I could only forcefully suppress the uneasiness in my heart. Li Yuan finished smoking and threw the cigarette butt to the side, saying, "We're done, let's continue forward." Before his voice fell, he stopped abruptly and cried out involuntarily: "What is that sound? So noisy? " His tone was filled with fear.
I said, "Don't panic, what's the sound?"
Lee Shun looked confused and said dejectedly, "Maybe it was my hallucination. I heard a strange sound. It sounded like it came out of my head and suddenly disappeared."
I looked at Lee Shun and was speechless.
I don't want to sit on this big rock anymore, so I stood up and asked Lee Shun: "Do you want to keep going?
Lee Shun stood up and said, "Of course."
"After a few steps, Lee Shun said," "But that stone is so strange, like a living thing, I can feel it breathing." My heart skipped a beat but I remained calm. "Why didn't I notice?" "Don't scare yourself."
Lee Shun chuckled. His laughter echoed in the cave and sounded very sinister.
The ground became more and more slippery, and the huge rock on the right was lifted up like a pillar. After walking a distance, he heard the sound of flowing water. The sound was sudden and strange, the sound of water right in front of him.
As we got closer, we found ourselves at a dead end. Ahead of us was a dark cave wall, and beneath the wall was a dark stream of river water. The sound of the water was deep and muffled as it flowed from one side of the cave wall to the other, turning into a small pool in the hole and plunging into the other side of the cave wall.
"It's the end." I was relieved.
"Oh. So it ended just like that? " Lee Shun seemed a little unsatisfied, he pointed his flashlight at the undercurrent and said, "Tell me, is this water fresh water or seawater?"
"It must be seawater. Our current location should be about ten meters below the sea level." "No," I said.
"Oh. Wouldn't that mean the underwater dragon palace? "Haha." Lee Shun suddenly laughed hysterically.
His laughter echoed in the cave.
After he finished laughing, Lee Shun looked at the cave blankly. Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the darkness, followed by a flock of birds dashing out of the darkness.
"Shit — bats — crouch down and hold your head." Lee Shun shouted.
Lee Shun and I crouched down and hugged our heads. We could hear the sound of the air rapidly flowing and the creepy sound of bats around us.
I felt goosebumps all over my body. It sounded like countless rats having a party.
From time to time, a bat hit me, and one of them even hit me on the hand.
I couldn't help but feel fear. Holy shit, could the bats here be the legendary vampire bats? If that's the case, Lee Shun and I will become a feast for them.
As I thought about it, my fear increased.
Luckily, these bats didn't suck blood and were only startled by Lee Shun's laughter. They flopped around in the cave for a while and then everything became quiet again.
Lee Shun and I stood up. With the help of the flashlight, I saw Lee Shun's face was terrifyingly pale. He must have been more scared than I was.
"Let's go back." Lee Shun turned around with the flashlight and walked back. I followed behind him.
"Looks like no one has ever come to this cave before." I said to myself.
"How could the cave entrance be sealed with stones if no one has come before? That rock is obviously not natural, it's man-made. " Lee Shun said.
Hearing Lee Shun's words, I also felt it was a bit strange. "Maybe there are people with good intentions who are afraid that curious people like us might come in to play and get in danger. That's why they blocked this hole."
"Where did all these kind-hearted people come from?" I think there might be a way out of this cave. " Lee Shun shone his flashlight as he walked. "The surrounding area has a lot of Uninhabited Island. Very few people would come here. I spent so much effort to block up the cave just in case someone might come in and get dangerous. Is it worth it?"
I said, "But we've come to the end. There's nothing here."
Lee Shun didn't say anything, but kept looking around with his flashlight as he walked.
After walking up for a while, Lee Shun suddenly stopped. The flashlight beam stopped moving: "Come look, what is this?"
I looked over and saw an arrow carved into the stone wall. The arrow was parallel to the wall.
Lee Shun shone his flashlight to the side. "There is a forked hole here."
I looked at the hole and saw that it was one meter square. It wasn't big and the inside was pitch black.
"This arrow is pointing in this direction." Lee Shun said.
"En, yes!"
"Let's go in and take a look." As Lee Shun spoke, he bowed and walked in.
I bent down and followed.
After entering, he found that the tunnel was actually quite wide. It was more than 2 meters tall and 3 meters wide. The ground was also very flat and not that humid.
"Haha, a cave in a cave. There's another world out there." Lee Shun said as he walked.
After walking for about 20 meters, the front suddenly opened up as a large hall appeared in front of them. The hall was about 40 to 50 square meters tall with a ceiling of about 4 to 5 meters.
"Damn, so this is the real view of the cave." Look, this hall. Look, around this hall, there are quite a few sunken holes. I think this is the living room with a matching room. Lee Shun laughed.
We walked around the hall. It was just as Lee Shun said, the hall and the surrounding grooves looked like a living room with a room.
"Mm, good, good, very good. It's good here. Paradise. If we do some good modifications, this is a pretty good place. " Lee Shun nodded in satisfaction.
We sat down on a big rock. Lee Shun and I both lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. After a while, Lee Shun took the ironwood from my hand and stood up again.
