Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 4: Bronze Blood III
A drop of water from the top of the cave hit his forehead, which was cold to the bone.
Asule woke up suddenly. He shook his head hard and shook the water off his face, feeling that his whole body was wet. He was lying on the beach of the underground river.
"I... didn't die?"
The river was flowing quietly beside him, and the light fish were swimming in the water with their spears in their pockets, like a whirlpool of light, and the fluorescence allowed him to see clearly the majestic place.
The moment he looked around, he completely forgot about his fear, but had a faint urge to kneel down and worship. He never thought that there could be such a vast space in the world, maybe hundreds of feet, maybe thousands of feet. He couldn't measure this huge cave with his own eyesight. When he stood up and looked at it, he felt that the blue top wall looked like the sky in the distance, and the far end was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see clearly. .
The sound of dripping water echoed monotonously in this huge space. The rather wide underground river meanders and flows like a river in this world, with stalactites accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Here are the mountains.
Suddenly there was a sound of churning the water, and the huge light fish I had seen before leaped out of the river. It seemed to have been diving deep for a long time, and at this time the light was exposed, dazzlingly bright. Asule took a step back in surprise, fell on his back, and then saw the pattern on the dome of the grotto.
The ancient petroglyphs are painted with rust and indigo pigments, and the colors are mottled and difficult to discern. Asule looked hard, and recognized the first bull from the fragmented handwriting, and then logically recognized the seemingly chaotic lines that formed the vast hunting picture scroll of the ancient prehistoric era.
Groups of mammoths and bison spread all over the roof of the cave. Huge people only covered their lower bodies with thatch and animal skins, and galloped in groups to chase them. On the hillside behind, it seems that wizards holding high totem banners are dancing wildly to help out, and women with enchanting upper body are waving animal bones to form a circle, and there is a raging bonfire burning among them. Those desperate animals were pierced with arrows and spears, and blood dripped all the way. The thick rust red made people smell the **** smell that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. A huge bull that could no longer support was lying on the ground, it twitched in pain, and the people who chased it smashed the bull's head with stone axes.
Asule retreated with hands and feet, leaning tightly against a stalactite. He was afraid of the rusty red on the blue dome, which was so bright that it would melt with the dripping water and turn into blood.
There was no sound of human beings, only the ticking of the water.
After a long, long time, he slackened down, followed by fatigue and despair. He lay there, not moving for a long time.
"Is... still going to die?"
He whispered to himself in his heart. He thought that he would never have a chance to leave here again, the ancient rock paintings, the empty caves, everything was like a terrible dream, he tried to close his eyes and then opened them again, imagining that he could see the familiar tents and caves Suma's clear eyes were still dark, only the fluorescence emitted by those light fish reflected on the ceiling of the cave, like colorful stars twinkling.
The cold gradually invaded his body, he knew he couldn't sleep, but gradually he had to close his eyes...
Suddenly a small voice woke him up. Although it was very weak, the sound was strange, and the sound of "Ding Dang" was clear and crisp. In this monotonous place where there is only the sound of water, this sound is so distinct. But when he listened carefully, he thought it was just a strange sound of dripping water.
Maybe it was just water dripping into a sunken stone trough, and he suspected he was hallucinating.
He turned his head aimlessly, was stunned for a moment, and screamed loudly.
He saw an upside-down human face, the cloudy eyes on that face stared straight at him, in the white chaos, that human face grinned silently, with two rows of sharp white teeth sticking out. On his face, as if to bite his neck off.
