Savage Secret

() The old cow turned around and smiled mysteriously at me, and walked forward for a while before stopping, chopping something there with a knife, and the sound was low and dull, as if it was chopping on hard wood.Is there something wrong with the old cow's brain?What did his weird smile just now represent?

When I looked around, I found that we were not far from the place where we fell from the mountain. Now I completely understood that the bastard Lao Niu still took a knife to chop off the horn of the rhino, but it was not just now. The one who died with the Vampire Bat King was the one buried by the falling rocks.

The back half of the ancient triangular rhinoceros was still buried inside, its huge head crawled feebly on top of its bent legs, the blood and white foam flowing from its mouth and nose were about to solidify, and there were many scratch marks on the front of its body. It seemed that it had tried to struggle out, but in the end it suffered too much internal injury and died of exhaustion.And not long after it died, someone had already taken a fancy to its horns.

"Tie Yan, don't keep standing there, you think you are a wooden stake, come and help me up, I heard that rhino horns have been regarded as treasures by royal nobles since ancient times, let's get bigger now! "The old cow was overjoyed with the spoils for nothing, and of course he couldn't handle the rhino horn taller than him alone, so he yelled at me.

The old cow is thinking about getting rich now, so I can't stop him, so I have to help him and persuade him: "Old cow, rhino horn is a good thing, but it's so big, How to get it out? We haven't found a way out yet." When I said this, I couldn't help but look up, and there was the place where we fell, and there was the sky I had longed for.In the end, it was okay not to look at it, but after watching it, my heart was completely cold, and I couldn't see the sky at all.The huge mound of earth and rocks has been connected to the wall of the cave next to it. It should have collapsed again after we left. It is no wonder that this ancient triangular rhinoceros was crushed to death.

While talking, the old cow had already cut off the horn of the rhinoceros, he frowned, and said to me in a serious tone: "Tie Yan, I said that when you are poor at home, you complain about God all day long. It’s not fair to you. Now that the baby is put in front of you, and you are too old to carry it, I see, you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life.” My nose is crooked in anger, don’t be greedy for money like Lao Niu I'm too lazy to talk about those who die, so I have to let him torment.

When Lao Niu and I put the huge rhino horn on the ground, we realized that this thing was heavier than we imagined. With our current conditions, it was impossible to take it away.The old cow hacked for a long time with all his strength, and when he found out this was the result, he was naturally very disappointed and helpless.

Just as we were about to leave, I vaguely saw a jewel-like brilliance in the severed rhino horn.That radiance is light red, soft and gentle, very eye-catching.Is there any treasure hidden in the rhino horn?

When I approached, I found that the outside of the rhino horn was a thick layer of horn, about two or three inches thick, with scarlet tendons and flesh in the middle, and a fist-sized red bead was half hanging there at the fracture. It is integrated with the white tendons in the rhino horn, as if growing out of it, and when I look at it again, I find it is very unique.

It is completely different from the muscles in the rhinoceros horn. It is like a translucent jade bead. It also has the texture of jade and is slippery to the touch. In the middle of the bead, there is a blood thread that keeps changing and swimming. Its posture is like a dragon swimming in the clouds. As chic and unrestrained as she is, the reddish light is emitted by the blood thread. The light flows and shines, flickering, subdued and charming like moonlight, making us all dumbfounded.

The old cow and I couldn't wait to peel off the muscles wrapped around it, and played with it in our hands. We couldn't put it down.

When we were happy, we naturally cut off its other two horns. Unfortunately, nothing was found. The old cow was still not reconciled, and wanted to take the horn of the ancient three-cornered rhino that was buried under the stalagmite with the Vampire Bat King. I chopped it off, but when I went there to look at it, I found that their heads seemed to be pressed down half a mountain. Besides, the fallen stalagmites stabbed obliquely, and the broken cracked rocks hung in the air. The Ancient Triceratops had a large piece of flesh cut off its butt, and then chased Tian Yuan and Li Yongsheng along the road.

Because there is no need to worry about the future, I feel very relaxed when I walk, and my feet are involuntarily faster.After walking a few steps, the old cow seemed to suddenly remember something, and said again: "Tie Yan, the cows and dogs that are fed at home, after a long time, will always give birth to some bezoars and dogs. , do you think these two rhinos have that thing in their bodies?"

I was stunned for a while when I heard this, first I assured him that there were, and then I told him that the bezoar and the dog treasure are indeed valuable, but the two ancient triangular rhinos are about the size of a mountain, and their bezoar It won't be smaller than a tank. Although the two of us destroyed it with our superhuman wisdom, do you think we can lift the tank up and carry it?

The old cow laughed a little, and said no more.

The aisle where the ancient triceratops often walk is extremely spacious, several feet in width and height, like a huge air-raid shelter. There are a lot of feces of ancient triceratops scattered at the bottom of the cave, and the smell of feces that rushes into the nose is also very unpleasant. , Accumulated over the years, and kicked everywhere by the ancient triangular rhinoceros that often come and go, the thick place is as tall as a person, we can only follow the footprints of the ancient triangular rhinoceros, so as not to sink.Along the way, Lao Niu scolded the two ancient triangular rhinos for being unhygienic and defecating everywhere, which made it difficult for us to even walk.

It is precisely because of these feces that we quickly found Li Yongsheng and Tian Yuan following their footprints.

Seeing us coming, the two of them greeted us happily, first they said some worried words, then Li Yongsheng's face turned from cloudy to cloudy, and he said something that made us very uncomfortable: "Brother Tieyan, Brother Niu, let's turn around here. After several laps, no exit was found."

There's no exit, aren't we going to be trapped here?The first way I thought of was to go back to the place where we fell, dig a hole and climb to the top, calling "Help!" in turn every day, maybe we will be rescued by passers-by.But after thinking about it, I think it is impossible. There have been landslides many times, and the earth and rocks are mixed. We don’t have any tools. The newly collapsed earth and rock layers are not stable. Digging underneath is like finding and being buried. I don’t want to talk to that ancient triangle The rhino is always a companion.

The cruel reality made me have to think of a way in front of my eyes, so I looked around carefully.

The cave in front of us is as high as a dome, and is unusually wide. There are clear traces of water erosion on the walls of the cave, layered on top of each other until the top of the cave. It should be a water-eroded cave formed over hundreds of millions of years.There are usually accumulations of ancient creatures on the rock walls of such caves, and those who study paleontology are likely to make major discoveries that will make him famous.

For us, only the hole is what we want to see most, otherwise it means death.

It may be a psychological factor. The longer I look at it, the more depressed and desperate I feel, so I quickly turned off the flashlight.

The bottom of the cave is uneven and densely covered with countless small pits, which are filled with water. Under the beam of the flashlight, it looks like many scattered mirrors, shining in brilliance. At a distance of more than ten feet away from us, there is a piece of A larger mirror, with a length and width of more than ten feet, looks like a large piece of wrinkled silver foil, with flowing scales, which looks very conspicuous.

"I said, why is the cave so wet? I thought it was raining heavily, but there was a big puddle in front." The old cow's voice came from beside him.This made me dumbfounded. It would be great if it really rained here. At least we can see the sky that we haven’t seen for a long time. Even if it is cloudy and showers, I will recognize it.

The old cow said that there is a big puddle, but I don't think so, I think it is more like a corner of a lake.Because the stagnant water will not have scales flashing in this hole where even the wind cannot blow in, and it must have dried up long ago. After looking at the water surface for a while, I faintly felt that the exit might be there, so I wanted to leave Go forward and see clearly.

Our feet should be the path that the ancient triangular rhinos often walked. The hard stones could not withstand their years of trampling. There were a lot of gravel scattered on it, and some black and green moss plants grew on it, which was extremely slippery.For the sake of safety, I had to walk forward by stepping on the puddles on the ground, and I felt that it was much easier to walk this way.

When we approached, we found that the water surface was larger than what we saw in the distance, and most of the cave we were in was blocked by water.The water is not clear or turbid, and you can see two or three meters down, but you can't see clearly any deeper.

Most fish have phototaxis. Not long after the beam of the flashlight shines underwater, I saw some fish swimming around below. Although I can't name these fish, I can clearly see the spots on both sides of their heads. The eyes are black and shiny.This shows that they are not fish that live in dark mountain caves all year round. The eyes of fish in deep mountain caves will degenerate because they do not see light all the year round.I also concluded from this that there must be an exit to the outside world under the water.

"Crack!" A hand suddenly slapped my back, making me jump.

When I turned my head to look, it was an old cow. I was about to scold him, but I heard him say: "Tie Yan, why are you smirking at the water?"
