Chapter Eighty-One: The Great Underwater Worm
After watching the uncle and the stuffy gourd walk away, Zhou Yu immediately began to help Chen Yu suck out the poisonous blood.
He didn't care at all about the jokes between the uncle and the stuffy gourd, the most important thing for him was to save Chen Yu's life, and everything else was not important.
After a lot of effort, he finally finished everything, and at this time, Chen Yu's face also improved slightly, and the dark black toxin on his mouth gradually dissipated.
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, are you feeling better? Wake up..."
Zhou Yu called her several times, and she finally opened her eyes in a daze.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with me? What just happened? It seems... Something bit my ass..."
"Ahem... It's okay, it's okay now, don't think about it so much. ”
After seeing Chen Yu wake up, the uncle and the stuffy gourd also hurriedly ran back.
The uncle said, "Since everyone is fine, let's hurry up and continue to set off, it's not too early." ”
"Do you have to rush like this?" Zhou Yu asked.
"It's not that you have to rush like this, it's that this place is not safe, and if you continue to stay here, maybe something more dangerous will happen. The uncle said very seriously.
In this regard, Zhou Yu was also very helpless, so he had to carry Chen Yu on his back.
They continued on walking, and after about ten minutes of walking came to the mouth of a cave. There is a small stream in this cave, and the water in it is quite clear, and when he first came here, Zhou Yu found that there were a few crabs next to the stream.
Stuffy gourd took out a silver needle from his pocket, probed it into the water, and then raised his head to look at the uncle and said, "There's something here, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Come in, of course you're here, you're all here, how can you not go in?!" said the uncle, and he was the first to take the lead.
In this kind of unfamiliar place, Zhou Yu had no choice, so he had to follow Chen Yu on his back.
When I first stepped into the water, I felt that the stream was quite shallow, and it had just reached the knee level. So even if Zhou Yu was carrying a person on his back, he could barely go inside.
But the more he walked to the back, he noticed that something was wrong, he found that the water seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, at first it was still at his knees, and slowly it reached his thighs, and went up more and more.
Walking in such deep water, if it were him alone, it would be quite reluctant, but it is very difficult for him to carry a person on his back now.
It was at this time that the uncle found a small boat in this cave. Although it looked quite small in the boat, it was barely enough to take the four of them.
The uncle shouted, "Hurry up and get on the boat, let's use this small boat to continue to explore inside, maybe what we are looking for is here!"
There is no sound in this cave except the sound of water, and the echo here is particularly noticeable. The uncle's words just now have been echoing in this cave.
It sounds weird and scary.
After getting on the boat, Chen Yu was lying in Chen Yu's arms, the stuffy gourd sat on the bow of the boat to observe the movement ahead, and the uncle was paddling.
The further you go, the more spacious it becomes, and it seems that it has become a large pool instead of a small stream.
And the water here is no longer as clear as before, but slowly becoming muddy, and there are strange things floating on the water, some of which are old tree stumps, and some clothes that look like rags.
Even Zhou Yu saw deep white bones on the surface of the lake more than once. This bone has been rotten for a long time, and some pale yellow maggots are attached to it, wriggling on it.
For covering Chen Yu's eyes and asking her not to look at them, after all, she is weak, if she sees these disgusting things at this time, she must not be frightened into a coma.
"Squeak~"
"Squeak~"
At this moment, they seemed to hear a strange sound coming from somewhere. It seems to be the cry of some kind of small animal, but the structure inside this cave is peculiar, and the echo is so loud that it is impossible to tell where the sound is coming from.
Immediately afterwards, I finally noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow streaking under the water.
"Uncle, what are these things?"
Zhou Yu reminded the uncle as soon as he saw those things, and the stuffy gourd immediately looked in the direction that Zhou Yu said.
When they saw the shadows swimming beneath the water, their faces had become unright, as if something bad had happened.
The uncle asked the gourd, "Do you smell a foul smell here?"
The other man nodded, and then did not continue to speak.
The strange sound that had been there before had stopped for a while. They thought that this terrible thing would not end there, but just as they were about to let their guard down, their ship suddenly began to shake violently.
"Boom ......"
The whole ship began to rock from side to side, and no matter how much the uncle tried to control it, he couldn't control it.
Zhou Yu subconsciously looked at the water, and found that there was a huge black shadow underneath their boat. It was as if this thing was stirring their ship.
"Uncle, look there's something under the boat!"
At this moment, the uncle became quite brave, and he jumped directly into the water with the oars in his hand.
Zhou Yu was on top, and he didn't know what was going on, but he saw that there were bubbles that kept turning up, and there was a gurgling sound.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you down there? What's going on? Uncle, you reply to me!"
Zhou Yu shouted anxiously several times, but there was no movement below. Because he had to take care of Chen Yu, he couldn't go down. This stuffy gourd is also quite calm, just sitting on the boat all the time, motionless.
His eyes were so dark that he looked like he had deliberately painted smoky makeup. But Zhou Yu knew that this was not the effect of makeup, but it was originally so.
His eyes were always on the bottom of the water, and he didn't know what he was looking at, let alone saving people.
"Peng !!"
Suddenly, there was a bang under the water, and I saw the uncle jumping up with a huge bug stuck in his oar.
The insect was scorched black, and his feet were so large that he couldn't even count them with the naked eye. After being put on the ship by the uncle, he already occupied more than half of the ship.
Zhou Yu was startled: "Uncle, what is this? You hurry up and get him away, don't put it here, Chen Yu will scare you into a coma when he wakes up!"
"This thing was shaking our boat just now, and the dark shadow under the water was the same guy before. After the uncle finished speaking, he threw the thing under the water.
It's just that what makes Zhou Yu feel very strange is that the blood on this bug's body turned out to be dark green, dyeing a large area of water around it this color.
And even more strange things, gradually coming, more and more black shadows around them spread from underwater, and they and the target seemed to be the big insect that was thrown underwater by the uncle just now.
"It's over, it's over, we've stabbed the worm's nest!" Zhou Yu just felt that the whole person was not good. The big one just now had already scared him a lot, and there were so many spreads around here, this was the rhythm of eating several of them, maybe it wasn't enough to stuff his teeth.
At this time, the stuffy gourd finally spoke, and he said, "While this big guy has attracted the attention of those little guys, let's get out of here quickly." I reckon we'll only have about ten minutes, so we'll have to do it as soon as possible..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the long knife he was carrying behind his back, and began to slide as an oar.
In fact, Zhou Yu had noticed this knife a long time ago, but he had never seen him move, and at first Zhou Yu thought it was just an ornament. Now it looks like this thing has finally come in handy!
They quickly passed through the cave, and through the corridor, they walked out of the cave and came to the real halfway up the mountain.
From here, you can see how small the trees of the forest have become. However, looking at Zhou Yu, he found the clue, because he found that looking down from this position, the shape of these forest trees below, they gathered into shapes, looked like a particularly fine map!
He rubbed his eyes and looked at them carefully, this was no illusion!
