CHAPTER XXIII
Li Lei and Wu Haoming were fine, but the other three were a little sluggish when they were hit, and they could only climb the stone wall to stabilize their bodies so that they would not fall into the water, and they couldn't dodge and fight back at all. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"Guangjin, grab these things, they will die after being caught for a while. Wu Haoming shouted, but his hands didn't stop, fishing his head back and forth in the water.
There are only three people who move, after all, it is very slow, and the water is constantly rising, so the actions of the three people are almost futile and have no effect at all.
No, there must be an exit here, Wu Haoming suddenly remembered the photo, if the owner of the photo also encountered the same situation as himself, then they must have escaped in the end, otherwise there would definitely be their corpses in the cave just now.
Thinking of this, Wu Haoming plunged into the water, followed the route in his memory, and swam to the location where the photo was found.
Countless heads kept hitting Wu Haoming's body, but at this time, he only had one thought, so he didn't care so much, just swam wholeheartedly.
Soon, Wu Haoming went to the bottom of the water, that is, the ground of the cave.
After groping with his hands on the ground and the wall for a while, Wu Haoming suddenly found an outlet for a waterway, which was stranger than the others.
Not only is there no metal mesh, but it seems to have been forcibly torn apart, and the surface is rough and there are irregular fractures.
It seems that this is it, Wu Haoming spit out a few blisters, pulled out a saber from his waist, and slashed at the exit.
I don't know how many knives he slashed, Wu Haoming suddenly felt that the force on the knife was light, as if it had pierced the air, and a huge suction force came from the water.
Because he had been engrossed in cutting the exit of the waterway, Wu Haoming didn't pay much attention to stabilizing his body at all.
He was always in a head-down position, so when the suction came, he was swept straight into the water and didn't have time to dodge at all.
"Wow!
When he woke up again, Wu Haoming's ears were still ringing with the huge sound of running water.
"Ahem, ahem!"
After coughing up the water in his mouth, Wu Haoming rubbed his head and got up from the ground.
It was dark all around, but not far away, there was a faint flicker of light.
Looking around, Wu Haoming found that there were all kinds of corpses around.
But without exception, these are people.
Perhaps due to the good air circulation and the low temperature here, none of the corpses decomposed, and some of them were extremely rare.
Wu Haoming's backpack no longer knew where it had gone, perhaps it was scraped off in the process of being washed out by the water. The only saber is also long gone.
In order to defend himself, Wu Haoming took out two daggers from the corpse.
The dagger was inserted in a protective case, and although it may have been soaked in water, it did not decay in the slightest.
After sticking the two daggers at his waist, finding something that could be used, and tying them to his body in a backpack that had not yet rotted, Wu Haoming looked around, and quietly walked in the direction where the light came from.
The glow is orange-red, not too bright, but it seems to burn without consuming any energy.
After walking a few steps, a huge stone forest appeared in front of me, and the stones in the stone forest were huge and slender, leading to the top of this karst cave.
Because of the goal, Wu Haoming did not rush forward.
Perhaps it was the previous experience that made him feel a little wary in his heart, and every step he took, Wu Haoming nervously observed the surroundings.
This stone cave is very dark, and he can't see the surrounding situation clearly, but with the feedback from other sensory organs in his body, Wu Haoming feels that there doesn't seem to be much danger around, at least there is no water, and those heads.
Gradually getting closer, the orange light in front of me gradually became clearer.
That...... It's like a fire, a fire that burns constantly.
Looking at the color of the fire, it is normal, not like phosphorus fire, or the legendary ghost fire.
With only one lens barrel left to use, but the lens was still broken, Wu Haoming hid behind the stone pillar and saw the flames and the surrounding scenery clearly.
Several tall, and extremely strong men were sitting around the flames, eating their food and talking about something, their eyes still looking to their sides from time to time.
On the side of several men, the two brothers were tied together, both with their heads down, as if they had fainted.
Around the men was a dark tent, and from the gap in the tent, a dim halo appeared, apparently with lighting equipment.
After looking at it for a while, Wu Haoming suddenly felt a dark shadow flash on his right.
He immediately turned around, and just wanted to chase after him, but suddenly he heard a soft sound coming from behind, followed by a low shout: "Angkor, is that you?"
Cai Chao!
Wu Haoming paused and turned around slowly.
Sure enough, Cai Chao appeared in his eyes.
It's just that, unlike before, Cai Chao at this time was not only covered in mud, but also his clothes were in tatters, and there were also scarred wounds on his arms and legs.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Wu Haoming was stunned, could it be that Cai Chao had encountered those people?
After thinking about it, this possibility increased a little more in his heart, because the two of them, who had already been tied, had almost explained the problem.
"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Cai Chao sighed, looked at the direction of the firelight, and then said: "When I woke up, Brother Guangjin and them had already fought with those people, but those people were well-equipped, and secondly, we suffered a lot of physical losses after a lot of tossing, so almost one face, Brother Guangjin and they were captured." ”
No wonder, Wu Hao nodded secretly, thinking that with the strength of Guangjin and Jin, even if the other party is a botanist, as long as he is not the top, he can definitely maneuver.
However, in the case of a great loss of physical strength, the combat effectiveness of Guangjin and the two may have already dropped to a terrifying level.
"I also ran out by pretending to be dead, but I had only run a few steps before I was discovered, and thanks to my breath in the water, I escaped from the pursuit of those people. Cai Chao pointed to the darkness not far behind him, and said: "There is a shallow ditch over there, but there is a swamp below the ditch, I didn't find it when I hid it inside, but when I thought about it, I was firmly sucked by the swamp, fortunately there is a tree next to it that has been dead for an unknown amount of time, otherwise I am afraid that I would have become a corpse long ago." ”
"Swamp?" Wu Haoming frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't those people fall?"
"No, they have a light source. Flashlights, searchlights, cold fireworks, pretty much anything. Cai Chao showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then said: "I feel that they seem to know the terrain here, and they came here on purpose, not only did they not enter the waterhole, but they even chose the camping location so accurately." Angkor, you don't know, it's almost all around here with traps that can kill people, except for the swamps, which are covered with barbed plants, and I don't know how these plants grow in this dark place, but these plants have all been seen in books before, and they are definitely dead-touch things. ”
