Chapter 648 Sulfur Cave
Because the archaeological team was somewhat afraid of the dangers inside the cave, they did not choose to continue forward, but instead rested in place, waiting for Qin An to catch up with them.
"Ouch—I'm so tired!"
Shao Wei plopped down on the ground, sighing incessantly as if he had suffered a great deal of exhaustion.
Gu Yang kindly reminded him, "Professor Shao... we're in a spider cave. There might be some small poisonous insects in there. You'd better not sit on the ground!"
"What's this?"
Perhaps because Hawkeye had offended Shao Wei with a joke earlier, and Gu Yang actually chose to reprimand Hawkeye, Shao Wei thought that Gu Yang was afraid of his academician status.
So he started scolding without even thinking.
"Can't I sit down and rest when I'm tired from running? Do I have to ask you or Qin An for permission before I can sit down?"
Shao Wei was so angry that he was fuming.
Gu Yang was just trying to be helpful, who would have thought Shao Wei would get so angry?
And she even said she was tired?
When you were escaping in the deserted village, didn't Gu Yang and Eagle Eye take turns carrying you? Neither of them complained of being tired, yet you still got angry at Gu Yang.
Think of this.
The rest of the archaeological team rolled their eyes at Shao Wei.
Gu Yang was too lazy to make a fool of himself. "Fine! Sit down if you want! Don't cry out if you get bitten by some poisonous insect!"
Hear the words.
Shao Wei, still unwilling to let things slide, retorted, "What are you saying! It's not like I can just sit down whenever I want! What right do you have to tell me what to do? I think you'd be happy if I got bitten by a poisonous insect!"
See this.
Gu Yang also stopped arguing with Shao Wei.
He turned and whispered something to Hawkeye.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shao Wei felt embarrassed, so he shut his mouth and rested quietly.
After a while.
After dealing with the corpses that had been dumped, Qin An finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
"Ah Qin! Brother Qin An!"
The archaeological team members quickly turned around and walked towards Qin An. Shao Wei felt a little jealous when he saw Qin An being surrounded by people. He muttered to himself that Qin An was good at bewitching people and then ignored him.
"Brother Qin An! Have you dealt with those corpses that were sinking in the water?"
Xie Wenjing was terrified by the corpses that had sunk, fearing that they might not have all died and would return.
Hear the words.
Qin An nodded and said, "They've all been killed. How was it? Did you find anything in this cave?"
Wang Yanyan stroked her chin and replied, "This cave looks a bit like a sulfur cave!"
"Sulfur Cave!"
Upon hearing this word, Yang Lele was so startled she almost jumped up.
Hawkeye was somewhat confused. "What happened to the Sulfur Cave?"
Yang Lele said cautiously, "Although I haven't read many books, I've heard that sulfur caves release toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide!"
poisonous? !
Hear this.
Gu Yang and Hawkeye's expressions changed drastically.
Xie Wenjing quickly reassured her, "Yang Lele is right that the sulfur cave releases sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, but it's not advisable to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. The concentration of toxic gases released by this sulfur cave is quite low and is not enough to affect our bodies."
really.
Professional tasks should be left to professionals.
Upon hearing that the toxic gas in the sulfur cave would not have any effect on their bodies, the rest of the archaeological team breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they could avoid traps and mechanisms, but how could they avoid air?
They haven't evolved the means to not breathe yet!
"Then let's go!"
Qin An didn't even glance at Shao Wei sitting on the ground. He simply walked around Shao Wei, and the rest of the archaeological team didn't pay any attention to Shao Wei either.
It was as if it didn't matter whether he followed or not.
"Da da da da da-"
There was not a sound in the cave.
Only the sound of the archaeological team's footsteps could be heard as they left.
As the footsteps of the departing crowd grew fainter and fainter, Shao Wei became restless. He had expected someone to call him to leave together, but no one did.
Even his old friend Zhang Yunfeng didn't give him that kind of way out.
Originally, Shao Wei wanted to prove himself and not follow the archaeological team.
But once Qin An and the others left...
Shao Wei felt that the cave was surrounded by danger!
Reason told him that if he didn't keep up with Brother Qin An and the others, he would probably die here.
Shao Weiteng then stood up from the ground.
After patting his bottom, he forced himself to save face, "Sigh! I've rested enough! Now I finally have some energy to keep going, so slow down and wait for me."
Done.
Shao Wei then hurriedly ran in the direction the archaeological team had gone, as if a ghost was chasing him.
But what Shao Wei didn't notice was...
A spider the size of a little fingernail crawled onto his waistband...
After catching up with the archaeological team.
Shao Wei didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he quietly followed behind the group, trying to minimize his presence.
..............................
"My God! We've come all this way! And there are still so many spider webs here! Could these spider webs have decorated the entire interior of the cave?"
Zhang Sitian looked at the eerie spider webs all around her in disbelief.
"Tick-tock-"
at this time.
A sound of water droplets hitting the ground came from the dark tunnel ahead.
Qin An quickly spread his arms to stop the archaeological team members who wanted to continue moving forward. He whispered, "Turn down the brightness of your flashlights."
No one hesitated at all.
They all turned the beam of their military flashlights to the minimum.
The downside is that they can now only see the scene a few meters ahead, and even that is not clear.
The advantage is that it reduces the brightness, so it won't irritate some of the dirt in the cave.
To know.
These filthy creatures live year-round in dark caves!
If even a little bit of bright white light shines on them, they may go berserk because they cannot withstand the light, and they might even attack the archaeological team.
Everyone turned down the brightness of their overhead flashlights.
Qin An also quietly led the team forward.
After a while.
The group walked to the outside of the tunnel where the dripping sound had come from earlier. Qin An first peeked inside, and then continued walking in.
We entered the pitch-black tunnel.
Qin An then discovered that the top of the tunnel was covered with stalactites.
The tips of these stalactites are covered with water droplets, and the dripping sound comes from these stalactites.
"Strange, the caves outside were covered with spider webs even on the ceiling, so why are spider webs only on the stone walls on both sides starting from this tunnel?"
Hu Jizhou looked at the stalactites above his head and muttered to himself.
