Chapter 79 The Hole in the Pit
Looking at the vortex in the pit, Lin thought for a while, and then let the pilots fly in. Lin wanted to see what their lair looked like, although it felt unlikely to succeed because the previous infiltrators were all killed. .
The moment she entered the vortex, Lin suddenly felt that she was being pulled down by a powerful force. The water here was quite fast and the water was turbid. Lin only felt that the flyer was being sucked into the depths by the water. Under the intense pressure, the pilot was completely immobilized.
Lin also had a flyer left outside the giant crater. It watched the water in the crater slowly being swept into the vortex. During this period, many Inca swarms kept jumping into the water and were swept away by the vortex. , When all the water disappeared, a huge hole appeared in the center of the pothole, and the hole was very dark, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Lin remembered that there must be no such openings before. Maybe the Inca swarms usually block the openings for water storage, but now they obviously want to release water, but Lin wonders why they jumped in too? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the water is finished and then go in?
The flyer who entered the vortex is still being continuously rushed by the rapids.
The flyer wouldn't be drowned by water, but in such a rapid current, she didn't know the surrounding situation. Lin felt that the current seemed to be facing upwards and downwards for a while.
It seems to be somewhere...
The pilot twisted his body and swam towards the water surface. When the pilot stuck his head above the water, a white cone-shaped rock appeared above Lin's field of vision.
This is a... cave?
Lin looked around. It was a spacious place. The top of the cave was covered with cone-shaped sharp stones, while the ground was rough with many gravel and sand grains. A small three-centimeter-long, green-glowing beetle was in the cave. It was flying all over the place, which made Lin see all this clearly.
It turned out that there was such a place under the giant pit, and Lin did not see the Inca swarms that jumped into the vortex. I don't know where they went, shouldn't they be drowned by water? Those luminous little beetles don't know if they are a type of Inca swarm, but Lin feels that they are more like wild creatures.
The flyer swam to the side of the river, climbed to the shore, flung his body and spread his wings, and he could fly after it was dry.
The cave was filled with cold air, as if it was still winter here, after those little light worms saw the flyer. They all seemed to gather curiously and flew around the flier.
There is no precise olfactory organ on the flyer, so Lin has no way of knowing whether these little light insects are hostile or not, but this new type of flyer is similar in size to the giant-veined dragonfly.
It is more than one meter long, and Lin estimates that this will make them afraid to move.
At this time. Outside the giant pit, Lin saw that many large Inca swarms had moved huge stones and re-blocked the hole at the bottom of the pit.
It seems that it is not so easy to get in or out again, and the pilot inside cannot die.
The wings slowly dried out, and as soon as the flyer took off, all the small light worms around them dispersed, but they still kept a certain distance behind the flyer.
It feels like they are predatory creatures. One has to be careful.
The flyer flew deep into the cave. The cave was spacious and huge, and Lin didn't know which direction to fly. Moreover, the rocks here were very strange. The top of the cave was all sharp white cone-shaped stones, and occasionally there would be water on the tip of the stone part dripping down.
These stones seem to be called 'stalactites', which is an odd name...
The floor of the cave was nothing, flat and open. Just some gravel and rocks.
After flying in the cave for a while, the little light worms followed the flyer all the time. When Lin turned to chase them, they would immediately disperse and hide in the gaps between the stalactites. Fly out to keep up.
The obvious predator is looking for an opportunity to start, right?
But also because of them. Lin was able to see the surrounding environment clearly, although the flyer itself can also shine.
Lin flew for a while, but she still didn't see anything, no Inca swarm or anything special. Lin is moving in the north direction, is it wrong?
Suddenly, a smell came from the air, attracting Lin's attention,
The smell is... the smell of carrion...
The little light worms who followed the flyer also smelled the smell, and they all flew in the direction of the smell, and Lin followed them.
Shortly after flying, the little light worms all gathered on a piece of the ground. The flyer took a closer look and found that it was actually the corpse of a meat-finned fish. The flesh on it was not dry, and the little light worms gathered on it and chewed continuously. All edible cuts of meat.
This is from the Inca Swarm... Lynn remembers that they had finfish in the puddle, but how did the fish get here?
Moreover, there is more than one corpse here.
Looking around, the ground in this area is full of corpses, not only finfish, but also helmeted fish, flatfish, and even some small sharks... This large number of corpses exudes a strong smell, attracting not only Just small light worms, there are also many carrion beetles, cockroaches, and one of the most common bugs is a creature called 'fly'.
Where did these fish come from? Was the Inca swarm caught in the sea? There is only this possibility, and another possibility is that the cave is connected to the sea underground.
correct! Lin suddenly thought that these species of creatures seemed to be quite similar to the creatures in the lake in the center of the mountain...
Could it be that the mountain is also related to the Inca swarm? Is this cave really some kind of passageway?
In this way, if the pilots fly to the direction of the mountain, some kind of answer may be obtained.
Thinking about it, Lin asked the pilot to immediately fly in the direction of the mountain, that is, to the northeast, but at this moment, Lin smelled a smell again.
This smell is mixed with the smell of carrion, but it is very obvious, the direction is coming from the northwest, and this smell is like... the smell of plants, no, it should be said that it is the smell of the jungle.
The dampness of the jungle, the wood, the dirt, the plants, the creatures... When it all comes together, the 'smell of the jungle' is formed. Although fliers are not good at smelling subtle scents, the abundance of scents is very noticeable.
In the depths of this cave... what is there?
It's not too far away, go and see it now!
The pilot flew in the direction of the 'jungle smell' at the fastest speed.
But the pilot didn't fly more than ten meters, and suddenly stopped in the air, motionless.
This feels like being stuck by something... (To be continued...)
