Chapter 35: Underwater Escape (Part II)
?
Immediately after that, everyone gritted their teeth and jumped into the waterhole with Yuan Shuai, but to their surprise, as soon as they entered the water, the water avoidance charm automatically opened a huge protective cover to wrap everyone, and for a while, three or four halos with blue light clearly appeared in the waterhole.
Diving to the bottom of the pool, Yuan Shuai pointed to a 'hole' that had been blown open not far away, and everyone could clearly feel that the direction of the water was slowly flowing towards that 'hole'.
Yuan Shuai made a foe follow me gesture to everyone, and when everyone swam into the 'hole' mouth in turn, Xia Molei and the girl group who were at the back suddenly felt that the entire water avoidance charm protective cover trembled violently, as if someone was desperately beating their protective cover to catch the two 'girl' children.
Xia Molei looked down in surprise and couldn't help screaming, only to see a highly swollen and rotten 'female' corpse water ghost emerging from the dirt, pounding tightly on the protective shield under their feet.
Although the surface of the protective cover has a certain effect of warding off evil spirits, this 'female' corpse water ghost is different from the male corpse water ghost that Yuan Shuai saw before, she is very persistent and desperately beating the protective shield under the feet of Xia Molei and the girl, as if she will never stop if she does not catch the two 'female' children in the protective cover.
Xia Molei's little face turned pale with fright, she and the girl desperately supported the protective cover and rushed to everyone, but suddenly the eyes of the two people were dark, as if something like aquatic plants was tightly wrapped around their protective cover and could not move, but in this crystal clear pool, not to mention that there were fish and even aquatic plants, there was no trace of them, and what was the thing that entangled them?
"Sister Xia Xia, look at the hair!" the girl exclaimed and pointed to the layers of fine and terrifying long hair outside the protective cover, and those long hairs were like rope vipers firmly binding their protective shield in place.
"Ah-Yuan Shuai, Yuan Shuai, come and save us!" Xia Molei patted the inner wall of the protective cover in horror and shouted to Yuan Shuai, who had already entered the 'hole' in the distance, but unfortunately this was blocked by the protective cover in the water, so Yuan Shuai didn't hear it at all.
However, the voice was not heard, but the feeling could still be felt, and a 'yin' evil aura made Yuan Shuai sneeze coldly, and the gossip mirror in his arms also alerted Yuan Shuai in time.
"It's not careless, it seems that the water ghost under the waterhole hasn't been eliminated yet!" As soon as Yuan Shuai's words fell, he saw that Xia Molei and the girl's protective shield behind him had been tightly entangled by a group of terrifying long hairs and dragged farther and farther away.
Yuan Shuai hurriedly turned around and swam over, he 'drawn' the bloody wooden sword out of thin air and cut out a red 'colored' sword, and the 'female' corpse water ghost who was dragging the protective cover saw this and hurriedly dodged the attack of the sword, Yuan Shuai took this opportunity to cut off the long hair wrapped around the protective cover one by one with a sword, and then the trapped Xia Molei and others came out.
At this time, the 'female' corpse water ghost who was unwilling to let go of his stand-in screamed wordlessly at Yuan Shuai and the others, and how could Yuan Shuai, who was in the protective cover, understand this local dialect.
Just as Yuan Shuai pushed Xia Molei and the girl's protective shield behind him, an accident happened, only to see countless water ghosts come out of the soil at the bottom of the water, none of their twisted and rotten appearances were complete bodies, and these disgusting and terrifying monsters rushed towards Yuan Shuai and their protective shields one by one like beasts that saw blood.
"Let me tell you that this waterhole used to be the burial ground of the executed criminals, no wonder there are so many guys with missing arms, broken legs, and no heads. Yuan Shuai was relaxed on his lips, but he was not at all easy in his hands, he swung his bloodwood sword and drew a series of sword rays to resist the attacks of these water ghosts.
However, at this time, suddenly from behind Xia Molei and their protective covers, several water ghosts with hideous and terrifying appearances also came out, and they couldn't help but pounce on the protective cover, and then they bit and pounded the outer wall of the protective cover. Xia Molei and the girl only felt a violent tremor, and suddenly found that the air pressure around them instantly increased, and even pressed them out of breath.
"Sister Xia Xia...... The protective cover is broken!"
A stream of water rushed into Xia Molei's protective cover, and then a rotten arm also stretched in to catch Xia Molei and them, seeing that Xia Molei and the girl's life was hanging by a thread, suddenly a streamer swept through, cutting several water ghosts outside the protective cover into pieces, Yuan Shuai rushed over in time to pull Xia Molei and the girl into his protective cover, and then said, "Let's go!"
The three of them accelerated and swam towards the mouth of the 'hole', and behind them was followed by a large group of water ghosts with teeth and claws, and when they came to the mouth of the 'hole' that was blown open, Yuan Shuai met with Captain Sun Yanyang and others, and saw that the group of monsters who were reluctant to follow also chased over, Yuan Shuai frowned, took out a spirit rune, and started a spell: "Sacrifice to the mountain god to increase his strength and descend the mortal dust and dragon." Longteng mountains and rivers travel all over the world, all-encompassing and there is nothing to do - Tulongteng, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law!"
A ferocious earth-based dragon suddenly drilled out of the ground and rushed towards the water ghosts who were in hot pursuit, only to hear a loud noise, the whole waterhole couldn't help but tremble, taking advantage of the water ghosts being washed away, Yuan Shuai hurriedly led everyone to swim towards the open 'hole'.
With Yuan Shuai's high-power "searchlight" as a guide, the group followed closely under the beam of the gossip mirror and continued to advance, from the surrounding environment, this is indeed an underground river, and the water is still flowing slowly, that is to say, there must be an exit here that can escape, but as for how far to swim Yuan Shuai and others can hold on, it can only be left to fate.
After swimming in the dark underground river for about half an hour, although there was a protective cover to save a lot of effort, everyone still gradually felt a little tired, especially the injured Captain Yang and Sun Yan, both of whom were a little pale, and a fine layer of sweat on their foreheads showed that they were a little unable to support it.
Seeing this, Yuan Shuai waved his hand and motioned for everyone to float to the water, and when they came to the water, Yuan Shuai and the others found that they had swam to an underground grotto at some point, surrounded by dark and wet rock walls, only a 'naked' and 'exposed' rock about the size of a taxi could be approached and rested.
Because the space that could be approached to rest was too small, Yuan Shuai had to resent the 'girl' students to stay in the protective cover to rest, and he let the exhausted Captain Yang and Sun Yan climb the rock, and then Yuan Shuai once again used the Bright Spirit Bead to replenish the vitality and physical strength of the two of them.
"Brother Yuan, I'm dragging everyone down......" Captain Yang's face finally improved under the recovery of the Bright Spirit Bead, and he looked at everyone apologetically, not knowing how to express his gratitude.
"Captain Yang, what did you say, I should be the one who should apologize, if I hadn't brought everyone to this hell, the brothers of the special team would not have died here. ”
Captain Yang's expression darkened a little, but he still quickly recovered and said, "This is all the fate of the brothers, don't blame you, Brother Yuan, but now that we are in this unknown underground river, where should we go next?"
"As I continued to follow the current, I noticed that the current here was starting to get stronger, and maybe I would find an exit if I swam a little further. Yuan Shuai used the gossip mirror to look around while analyzing......
The beam of light inadvertently swept over several black shadows on the water, followed by a few slight splashes of water 'flowers' that attracted everyone's attention.
"Sister Xia Xia, did you hear any sound just now?" the girl floating on the water asked Xia Molei beside her curiously.
"I didn't hear it clearly, it seemed to be the sound of a small stone falling into the water. As soon as Xia Molei's words fell, Bai Jin, who was in the water on the other side, suddenly let out a scream, it turned out that her body was still floating in the water and supported by a protective cover, suddenly she felt something swim under her feet, and then she heard a terrifying grinding sound.
Immediately after that, Gao Ya in another protective cover also heard the sound of teeth biting from under her feet, and for a while, the terrifying sound of "click" echoed throughout the underground grotto.
Seeing this, Yuan Shuai hurriedly put the gossip mirror on the 'girl' students, and through the illumination of the light, Yuan Shuai couldn't help but be startled, originally I didn't know when a group of hideous and terrifying-looking strange fish gathered under the protective cover of Xia Molei and several of them!
These strange fish are covered in iron and their mouths are full of sharp teeth like sharp knives, and their eyes have been severely degenerated due to their long time in the dark, but they have a special sensitivity to light and smell, which is why the blue light shield attracts these strange fish.
With the gnawing of those strange fish, the protective cover of Xia Molei and others has begun to become more and more transparent, it seems that the power of unity is still stronger, in desperation, Yuan Shuai hurriedly let everyone climb on the rock, but in this way, the space on the rock has really become very narrow, and everyone has to hold hands to prevent someone from accidentally slipping into the water and being torn to pieces by those strange fish.
However, when the blue 'color' protective cover disappeared, those strange fish still surrounded the rock for a long time and did not want to leave, it seemed that they also knew that there was probably a sumptuous meal waiting for them on the rock, so as time went by, more and more strange fish gathered in the surrounding waters, and the sound of teeth grinding was also everywhere.
"Alas, if people go to memorize the words, drink saliva and stuff their teeth, this is not just escaped from the attack of the water ghost and encountered the siege of these strange fish, if the little guy is not captured by the enemy, I have to stretch out a group of vines as a fishing line to catch all these strange fish and burn them. ”
"Vomit...... Stinky Yuan Datou, can you not be disgusting, these strange fish look so ugly, who dares to eat them. Xia Molei angrily slapped Yuan Shuai's shoulder, and Yuan Shuai took the opportunity to hug Xia Molei's small waist and 'touched' his hand extremely dishonestly, "Hehe, I'm just an analogy, don't say it's me these disgusting guys, I'm afraid he won't look at it even if it's a little ghost...... Oops~"
