Chapter 11 in a desperate situation
Looking up, I saw that the big pit was only as big as a basin, and the faint light diffraction from the pit, so that Xu Han could barely see things within two or three feet. After going down this slope, he could not see anything.
After a short break, Xu Han lit the torch, inserted it horizontally around his waist, then grabbed the rope and continued to slide down.
After a cup of tea, Xu Han finally knew how those people died a few days ago.
The pit wall here went straight down. At this time, Xu Hanwan completely hung in the middle of the deep pit, and the surrounding pit walls were five feet away from his body. With his thin figure, he began to feel powerless when he slipped to this position. His arms began to be numb and weak, and he felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier. The palms of his hands holding the rope also began to hurt hotly, and the rope shook violently, rippled back and forth like a swing.
Xu Han is not a rich man who has no power to bind chickens. He is a little man in the kitchen. He has done all kinds of hard work. Although his body is still thin and small, his physique is not weak. The cocoons on his palms are layer by layer, thick and hard as bacon, but even so, he still feel a little unsistible.
Looking up, I only saw a faint light shining on the wall of the brown hole, and I couldn't even see the pit. Looking down, the bottom is still dark and bottomless. The wall of the cave six feet away on Thursday and Friday seems to be beating with the flames of the torch, which looks ghostly and scary, as if it were in an ancient tomb.
Xu Han meditated and tried to climb up, but he sadly found that it was easy to slide down, but it was extremely difficult to climb!
He suddenly found that it was not easy to support his body from falling down at this time, and there was no extra strength to climb up. His palms were painful, his wrists and arms were almost pulled off, and his arms were sore and weak. The weight of the whole body is pressed on the arms for a long time, which is very desperate. The feet bent and clamped on the rope don't seem to share much of the pressure on the arm.
Looking at the faint light above his head helplessly, Xu Han believes that in this position, even if you open your throat and shout desperately and want to ask the person above to pull you up, the person above may not be able to hear it. Because it is too far from the mouth of the pit, it is absolutely 500 feet, which is equivalent to the distance from the top of an ordinary mountain to the foot of the mountain. Most importantly, the tunnel is not vertical.
A few days ago, those people must have been hung in the air and fell to death or drowned, or slipped to the end of the rope and found that they had not reached the bottom of the pit. Finally, they fell down and were drowned by water!
Xu Han knew that at this moment, the rope in his hand was the lifeline. As long as his hand was released, everything was over.
Holding the rope tightly, Xu Han breathed heavily. The bean-sized sweat oozed out of his forehead and flowed down his pale cheeks desperately, gathering at his chin and ticking down. The clothes on the back have been soaked with sweat, and my whole body is itchy, but I can't spare my hands to scratch it.
There was silence around. Except for his heavy breathing and the crackling sound of the torch inserted across his waist, no other sound could be heard. Even the water at the bottom of the pit made no sound.
In a trance, Xu Han had that strange feeling again, and he felt that he was the only one left in the world.
This is the second time he has had this feeling today. This feeling is terrible, helpless and desperate!
"Am I really going to die in this sinkhole?" Xu Han thought desperately, and then gritted his teeth: "No, even if you die, you have to climb to the bottom of the pit. Although there is still a long distance from the water at the bottom of the pit, the length of the rope is still long. Besides, my water quality is good. As long as I can enter the water, I will definitely find a place to rest my feet. Even if I swim to the surrounding cave wall and hold the raised rocks on the cave wall in the water, I can take a break for a while to slowly recover my physical strength and energy, and think of other ways. If there is an underground river below, I can also go down the river..."
So, he continued to slide down slowly.
After a meal, Xu Han's face became even worse.
Now this position is at least seven or eight feet away from the pit, but looking down, it is still dark below. You can't see anything, and there is no sign of the end! Oh, my God, how deep is this pit? Is it really a bottomless pit? It's impossible. Just now, when I was resting at the slope of the tunnel, I stepped on the floating soil on the wall of the cave, dropped a stone, and faintly heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, but the time interval was long.
Xu Han deeply realized that death was getting closer and closer to him.
He quietly hung in the middle of the pit and thought for a while. Xu Han gritted his teeth and continued to slide down.
At this point, there is no way out. Only when you slide down will there be a glimmer of vitality. Otherwise, you will suffer and fall down.
After sliding down about 50 feet, Xu Han suddenly stopped because he smelled a strong fishy smell in the air. Then, he suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from the bottom of the pit.
Listening quietly for a moment, Xu Han, who had been hanging from his heart, suddenly raised his throat!
"Smile..."
"Smile..."
"Smile..."
What's that sound? Could it be...
Xu Han's face changed, looked down and suddenly saw seven or eight green light at the bottom of the dark pit constantly moving. The sneer, the green light, could it be...
Xu Han recognized it. The snomous sound was the sound of a poisonous snake spitting letters, and the seven or eight green light was the eyes of the python!
Giant python!
Because only the python will emit such a strong fishy smell, because only the python's eyes will be so big and bright, and because only the python can make such a loud sound of spitting letters. If it is an ordinary water snake, it is possible to hear the sound of it spitting out unless it is close to you!
What's worse is that there is more than one, at least four!
Four pythons are at the bottom of the pit!
This discovery made Xu Han's scalp suddenly numb, and there was a layer of goose bumps all over his body. He grasped the rope tightly and did not dare to move.
, I don't have the strength to climb up again.
, and you can't slide down.
Xu Han is like a gourd, hanging in the middle of the sinkhole, unable to go up and down. Moreover, what made him feel extremely desperate was that he felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, his arms became more and weaker, his hands and fingers began to cramp, and his wrists and arms seemed to be broken by himself at any time.
The consumption of physical strength is even more amazing. He feels that he is getting weaker and weaker, and even sweat seems to stop seeping out due to the serious lack of water in his body.
Xu Han was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Looking up, there was a dark area above my head and I couldn't see anything. Even the faint light that I could see just now had completely disappeared and been swallowed up by the darkness. He instinctively opened his mouth to shout for help, but he was stunned to find that the sound of shouting from his throat was pitifully small, even smaller than usual.
My mind was chaotic, dizzy and tinnitus, and my mind began to be a little absent-minded.
What should I do?
You can't hang in the air like this. You will soon fall out of strength and die like those people a few days ago.
However, Xu Han is sure that those people will definitely not slide down as deep as he did. Zhou Qi just said that when those people came down a few days ago, the rope they used was only more than 300 to 500 feet long, and now this one is at least 1,000 feet long. When he slid down just now, Xu Han encountered several knots. There is no doubt that these knots are the connection of the rope.
Xu Han looked left and right blankly and looked around helplessly.
Suddenly, Xu Han was shocked and looked fixedly at the right front.
The pit wall outside the front right seems to be a little abnormal. A large area like a grinding disc looks brighter than the surrounding soil. Although it is very weak and obscure, it is not difficult to see in this dark environment.
Xu Han's expression was excited. His left hand quickly tightened the rope, freed his right hand, pulled up a large section of the rope below, circled around his waist, tied a knot, and then worked hard together to make the rope float, like a swing.
As the range of drifting increased, Xu Han became closer and closer to the pit wall.
His body floated back and forth like a swing in mid-air. After drifting back and forth countless times, the swing gets bigger and closer, and closer to the shiny area of the pit wall, and his feet can almost reach the pit wall.
"Hi!"
Xu Han tried his best to roar, bounced back fiercely, and swung over again. With strong inertia, Xu Han's feet kicked hard at the glowing area of the pit wall.
"Boom!" A loud noise.
On the wall of the pit, the shiny area was kicked out by him, and a strong white light shone out of the hole.
It turned out to be an underground secret room!
Xu Han was overjoyed and immediately controlled his body to retreat with the strong rebound force and hit it again. The hole became bigger by him, and his lower body was accurately inserted into the hole. As soon as his lower body entered the hole, he immediately bent his legs and stuck the pit wall to prevent himself from bounce back.
Soon, the force was completely removed. Xu Hanma* untied the rope wrapped around his waist, looked around and saw a protruding stone next to the hole. The stone was obviously pumice, half stuck in the pit wall, and the other half exposed outside.
So, Xu Han tied the rope firmly to the stone and tied a few knots.
Discovering this underground secret room, Xu Han was almost overwhelmed by ecstasy, but he was not overwhelmed by ecstasy. He knew that this rope was his **. Don't let it bounce back. If he bounce back into the pit, it would be miserable!
