Chapter 223: Flash
The walls of the cave were wet, and water often dripped down the top of the head, and the more the raft was rowed inside, the cooler it became, and soon, the surrounding stone walls began to become unusually smooth and cold, and the water that had not yet dripped slowly coalesced into ice picks.
"Sister Sakisa, it seems to be getting colder and colder. Yang Xiaokai took off his coat and draped it over Sakura's body, rubbing his hands repeatedly to create heat, "Have we reached the deepest part of the cave?"
"Well, it's pretty much the same, the temperature during the day comes in through the hole, but it doesn't reach here, and at night the heat source decreases, and the moisture from the water cave condenses here, forming a very cold air current, and from the time we came, it will take about dozens of minutes to pass through here, and a little further, the air will become thinner. ”
Since entering the water hole, the raft has been moving forward on its own, and Hades is simply holding the direction, which means that they have been traveling downward, and it seems that the elevation of the exit is much lower than when they were at the entrance.
"Kai...... Are we there?"
"Sister, are you awake?" Yang Xiaokai helped Sakura up, "We have just walked halfway, it will be cold ahead, are you okay?"
Even if Sakuruma slept for a while, it didn't alleviate the previous feeling of weakness in the slightest, but instead became more exhausted after waking up and encountering this cold air, a situation that even Saki Sakusa couldn't solve, and Sakuruma herself didn't know what caused her body to become so weak.
"Hey, there seems to be something underneath the water!" Suddenly, the sound of Ibaraki came from the raft behind him, and he was holding a torch close to the water to watch, and Xia Chuan beside him was also looking in the direction of his palm.
"What, in such a place?" Ibaraki's voice was spread to everyone's ears by the water hole, and Fujiwara, who heard this, immediately couldn't sit still, and shone his flashlight from the bow of the ship, and at the same time aimed the gun in his hand at the position of the flashlight, and as soon as something came out, it immediately exploded its head!
The entire fleet began to panic, most of them were ordinary people, who had not been trained like Fujiwara, had not experienced a brutal war like Tenmeido, and did not even have the ability to save their lives, so it was already a challenge to let them row a raft in such a place.
"Hurry up, I don't want to die here!"
"There shouldn't be a death here, right?"
"Have you forgotten how Okura died?"
The rafts behind were noisy and panicked, and each of them was looking underwater, but all they saw was the stone wall below, and the water here was so clear that it might be used as a source of water for drinking, and it would be another matter if there were any strange creatures inhabiting it.
"Don't make a noise, everyone!" Hanashima in front of him shouted, calming down all the people who were arguing.
"Fujiwara, did you find anything?"
Fujiwara turned his head and said dejectedly: "No, I didn't even see a ghost, maybe he was dazzled." ”
"That's good, you can't do anything in a place like this, but it seems to be getting colder and colder. Ranchi raised the torch and was about to use its light to take care of the situation behind him, when a black shadow suddenly passed over Fujiwara's head, and he immediately pulled out the gun at his waist and quickly pulled the trigger, "Fujiwara!
"Phew!"
Fujiwara sensed the liquid splashing on his neck the moment he lay down, and it seemed that there was something underneath the water!
"What's going on?!" The rafts behind them became noisy again, and they all accelerated and rowed, regardless of the order of the procession, "Hey! Why do you still have the heart to swallow slowly! If you don't hurry up, we'll die!"
"Damn, F, find the location of that thing, don't care how many bullets you have, until you kill it!" Fujiwara threw the rifle at his feet to F, and the three of them quickly spread out in a triangle around the raft, and Fushimi, who was sitting at the back, also felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly hid beside Hanajima.
The black shadow reappeared, and when the three of them were aiming and shooting, the raft suddenly tilted, and all the bullets of the three men were empty, allowing the black shadow to escape into the water.
"Luming, go and get in the right direction!, otherwise we won't be able to aim!" shouted Fujiwara.
"To hell with it, Uncle Ben won't do that kind of thing, what if he gets dragged into the water by a monster!" Fushimi was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat on the raft and couldn't stand up again.
"Cut, what a coward. Ranch sneered and snatched the oars from the front of the raft, one holding a gun and the other steering the entire raft, making sure it was going down the river so as not to disturb the team behind it.
"Uhhh
Fushimi's feet suddenly stabbed out a sharp black-green scale-like thing, causing him to scream in fright, and at the same time slammed the black-green scales with his backpack, smashing it three times in a row to drive it away.
"It's right next to us, stare that guy to death!"
Seeing that the leader's raft encountered a monster in the water, the people in the rear seemed to be a little more relieved, which showed that the danger was still far away from them, as long as Fujiwara and a few of them could calm the monster, they would have no worries.
"Kai, are we alright?"
Yang Xiaokai looked around the raft, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it looks like I'm being targeted by something troublesome, Fujiwara in front has already found the target, but I'm not sure if there are any other monsters lurking under the water besides the one over there." ”
Sakurama sat up with the raft in his arms, gasped and said, "Kai, I can't affect your battle, don't worry about me for now." ”
"Well, then you protect yourself. Yang Xiaokai handed Sakuruma a knife, and he pulled out a pistol and stood by her side.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Saki Saki saw the situation in front of them a little, Fujiwara and they were trapped, probably not aware that the underwater monsters were moving quickly in their direction, and the reason why the raft was moving faster was also because the waves driving the raft forward when they swam forward.
"It looks like they're attracted to the smell of blood, whether it's human or their own. ”
"Sakisa, there seems to be something down there. Hades quickly pulled back the oars, and the end of the oars seemed to hit a soft crouching object, and the guy suddenly rushed forward, almost taking the oars with him.
"I know. Samusa looked at the ripples on the surface of the water, and quickly calculated in his brain, "There are six of them, and there are more in the back, this is their lair, we shouldn't break in." ”
"But it's so cold in this place, how do they survive?" Xia Cheng asked.
"The secret of their survival must be dissected before conclusions can be drawn, because they are not creatures on earth, and I am afraid that even an autopsy may not be able to find the reason, and there are too many differences between this world and the present world. ”
"Phew!"
The gunshots rang out again, and at the same time, the water around the lead raft bubbled upwards as if it had been boiled.
Seeing this, the second raft also slowed down a bit, isolating Fujiwara and the others in front of them before following at the speed they had just made. This was a wise move, as Fujiwara's raft was now like a time bomb that could pose danger to the team behind at any time, so as to ensure that if something happened to them, it would not affect those behind.
"Xiaokai, can you give me the flashlight?"
Samuzo took Yang Xiaokai's flashlight and shone it under the water of the Fujihara raft, where there were five or six shadows faintly moving, looking like humanoids, but each humanoid was followed by a few wagging "tails" behind it.
"Sakisa, there's something passing over again. Hades's mouth was steaming white, the temperature here was almost below zero degrees Celsius, and his rowing fingers were a little stiff, and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he fell into the water.
"That's it. Samusa stared to herself as if her eyes were moving with something, and only when she overlooked the second raft in front of her did she quickly shine her flashlight underwater.
"Quack—"
The monster that sensed the light turned its head sharply, startling the people on the second raft, and they immediately found their weapons next to them to defend themselves, praying that the thing would not target them.
I saw that the monster under the water was green and translucent, and the humanoid body was divided into four tentacles about the tailbone, and those tentacles were full of scales and sharp teeth, and the surface was densely covered with them, and if they were entangled by that thing, they would be gnawed alive into white bones in a few seconds!
Because their eyeballs are in the dark for a long time, they can't adapt to too strong light, and the long-degraded layer of puffs quickly falls off under the illumination of the flashlight, and the blood gushes, and the monster that can't stand the pain twists the tentacles behind it and goes underwater, so it seems that the best weapon against them is not guns and blades, but strong light!
"Fujiwara Ryuuji!" Saki sa shouted loudly, "Their weakness is light!"
Fujiwara, who heard Sakisa's prompt, had a flash of inspiration in his head, and crouched down to rummage through his backpack for something.
"Whew-"
The dark green tentacles suddenly came out from under the raft and planned to attack Fujiwara, who was facing away from him, but this move had already been seen through by Hanajima, and the knife that he had been playing with in his hand ejected out vigorously, not with wrist force, but simply with the power of his fingers to make the knife accurately cut through the tentacles, and nailed to the stone wall with a "ding" sound!
"How did that person do it?" Yang Xiaokai saw this incredible scene in the back and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Ah, I found it!" Fujiwara pulled out a cylindrical object from his backpack and shouted after removing the ring, "Everyone, close your eyes!"
The cylinder was thrown into the water, and everyone's eyes were closed at Fujiwara's shout, but even that blinding light was frantically pouring into the already dark sight, and it took about ten seconds before it stopped.
"Flashbang?"
