Special Forces Chapter 1? The Legendary Land Is Near
The sudden rainstorm in the jungle diluted all the clues and traces on the road. Lu Kang could no longer judge whether there was groundwater under the soil based on the state of the ground. They had to start from other aspects.
Fortunately, Mukro discovered something in time, and it can be said that it directly contributed to their finding the key to the legendary end.
It was a not-so-deep puddle, which looked like a mud puddle formed by the foot of a large beast. It was filled with water due to the torrential rain last night.
Both Lu Kang and Morus walked past the small puddle without looking sideways, and they were not even distracted by this common small puddle. It was Mukro who stopped and stared at the puddle suspiciously. After a few seconds, Lu Kang and the others stopped.
"Lu Kang, Molus, come and take a look at this." Mukro shouted.
Lu Kang and Molus turned back, "What are you looking at?" Lu Kang squatted down like Mukro, staring at the two palm-sized puddles in front of him, and asked suspiciously.
"Wait a minute," said Mukro, staring at the puddle until a mud bubble popped out of nowhere and popped open. He smacked his lips. "That's it."
Lu Kang blinked, and there was a bubble?If it's a watertight puddle that's just stepped on by a beast, how could air be injected into it to cause blisters?No wonder Mukro calls them back!
Almost every few seconds, one or two blisters would bulge and burst. Mukro looked at Morus, "The bottom must be connected to the flowing air or water veins!"
"That's right." Lu Kang nodded, and several people directly dug up the puddle. Maybe it was just a foot print accidentally stepped on by a beast, but there is no doubt that it gave them a strong clue. Prove they're on the right track, and even point them in the right direction to move on afterwards.
A group of people quickly dug through the water hole, and soon, as if a spring had been dug out, the mud hole that had gradually disappeared due to excavation was suddenly filled with a large amount of water again, and this time the water that flowed out It was clean water with a strong flow, as if a reservoir connected to a mud pit had been dug through.
Cistern.
A flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Kang's mind, he opened his eyes wide and laughed, "We are not far from our destination!"
"What do you mean?" Mukro asked in a daze.
"Before, I kept thinking about where the end of the groundwater would be. It wasn't until just now that I realized that I was unknowingly fixed by the definition of 'groundwater' I gave. The groundwater is just the form of the stream flowing in this section. , they will still converge into a lake, and there is their source." Lu Kang said, he took a small wooden stick in his hand, and drew a simple schematic diagram directly on the muddy soil, from the very beginning The stream where they bathed started with open water, then gradually turned into groundwater, and now the mud pit they dug through, whether it is visible or not, all shows that there must be something hidden behind the water flow. Abundant water sources.
"Judging from the terrain distribution of this mountain, if such a huge water source system exists underground, it must not be simple infiltration water, and it cannot be excavated by manpower alone. Otherwise, this mountain is extremely prone to landslides, because the soil I won’t explain in detail the relationship between moisture and other factors.” Lu Kang pointed to the hill and said, “Obviously there is no sign of a landslide, so this possibility can be ruled out.”
"Then there is only another possible existence left. This huge water source system is a kind of surface water, lake water." Lu Kang said, it may even be ocean water, but considering that it is far away from the sea they know. For a long distance, Lu Kang directly ruled out this possibility.
"In the legend told by Thistle, those hunters who disappeared will wait for a reunion and return at the end of the stream, the rainbow will be their shawls, and the drums will play a joyous song," Lu Kang repeated from the beginning According to the legend heard from Sisr, the last two sentences were told by Morus, the complete version, "This is an area with abundant precipitation, we have seen the rainbow, the drum music is the rainstorm, and the sound of the rainstorm is the rainbow These are all in line with the description in the legend, and we are not far from our destination." Lu Kang laughed, walked to Clyde's side and patted Clyde's shoulder hard, and finally he didn't go in vain.
"Really? That's great!" Clyde jumped up cheering, hugging everyone.
"Let's go. Now that we have a concrete big goal, we don't have to worry about losing our way." Lu Kang said, pointing to a hilltop not far away, where most of the scenery can be seen. Once they climbed there, they would most likely find the lake they were looking for.
Clyde worked hard to walk ahead of everyone, but Maurus seemed a little absent-minded.
Yida tilted her head and asked Mangmo in a low voice, "What's wrong with Morus? It was Lu Kang's weirdness just now, and now it's Morus' turn. Will it still be contagious?"
Reckless tapped Ida's head, "What kind of infection, nonsense." He shook his head helplessly, glanced at Maurus, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mo Ruth probably thought of his parents."
Ida closed her mouth after a slight "ah", and nodded understandingly. Although none of them had experienced that beast tide personally, that beast tide took away a large number of young hunters in the tribe. The bloody history has been used as a textbook model for teaching future hunters in the tribe to be vigilant against the beast tide over the years.
Morus' parents were not directly killed by the herd, but were left behind when the tribe chief decided to retreat, and no one knew whether they were still alive.
Lu Kang noticed the abnormality of Morus. He didn't know the past like Yida Mangmo, and Morus never told anyone about his experience, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? It’s okay, but it’s almost at the destination, but it doesn’t seem like you want to get close?”
Maurus glanced at him, then at the excited Clyde who was walking at the front of the team, and said softly, "What if the legend is inaccurate, or other uncertain factors occur, causing those hunters to It's not the end, Clyde's hope is shattered, what should we do?"
"I was just thinking, maybe it would be nice to leave the illusion untouched," Molus said.
Lu Kang looked at the bewildered expression on Morus's face, and suddenly realized that the other party was talking about himself, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"Ten years ago a wave of beasts took the lives of many hunters in the Horde," Maurus said softly, realizing that he had to say something, he had to share something, or what he was about to see, what was about to shatter, would overwhelm him. He was overwhelmed, "This includes my parents, they are very good hunters, and I have always been proud of them." Molus pulled the corner of his mouth upwards, "They have been rushing forward, repelling wave after wave Bo's beast tide, every time he returned to the tribe, he would receive the highest praise from the whole tribe together with the patriarch, until a beast tide came, it was a nightmare, a large number of hunters lost their lives in that time, the patriarch The order to retreat had to be given."
"I don't know what happened, Lu Kang, but I don't think my parents received this order. They are still fighting the beast tide. I thought they were dead. In fact, everyone thought they were dead. Just can't find the body, nothing. They disappeared, just like Clyde's father." Maurus said, he looked at Lu Kang, "If they live at the end of the stream, why don't they come back What? The tribe is their home, there are people they love, people who love them, why do they stay here? It doesn’t make sense, Lu Kang.”
"But even though reason tells me that the legend is false, I still hope that my parents still live at the end of the stream in this legend, and hope that in an unknown corner, the ones I love and love me are still alive somewhere "Molus said, "Now I have to face up to the fact that they have really left me, and Clyde has to realize that his father cannot still be alive. Sometimes legends exist, just to keep a memory."
"I'm afraid of the moment when this thought is shattered." Molus looked at Lu Kang. This man who had never shown weakness now took the initiative to tell Lu Kang what he was afraid of, which made Lu Kang feel as if his heart He was grabbed by a big hand.
