Chapter 269: Dark River
The oncoming wind became more and more violent, and Luo Xiaobei leaned against the stone wall, holding the night pearl in one hand, and climbing in the troubled world with the other hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The road under his feet was too narrow, and Luo Xiaobei walked very slowly.
Because the dark river that is calm on the surface is an extremely fast undercurrent below. Luo Xiaobei seemed to be able to feel the undercurrent under the water surface hitting the stone wall at great speed.
And she could be beaten down at any time.
The stone walls are perennially swept by wind and water mist, and are smooth and damp.
Luo Xiaobei's palms are white and smooth, and it is really not easy to hold the protruding stones that are about to be polished and rounded.
He simply put away the night pearl and used both hands together to stabilize his body.
The last bit of light was gone, and Luo Xiaobei's every step had to be judged by the movements under his feet and hands.
The howling wind struck her ears and whipped her face painfully.
But as she moved in small steps, her ears quickly discerned the different sounds coming from the air.
It is like a wave suddenly blown by a strong wind, rushing from far and near.
The rapid flow speed of the underground dark river was already beyond Luo Xiaobei's expectations, and the sound behind him like a rising tide was beyond Luo Xiaobei's expectations.
But it's extremely fast, like the surface of the sea at a sudden high tide.
The heavy humidity and cold wind were about to knock Luo Xiaobei down.
The secret feeling in his heart was not good, Luo Xiaobei grabbed a stone with both hands, and as soon as this action was completed, the huge wave of water instantly submerged Luo Xiaobei.
The stone wall was already smooth, coupled with the huge impact of the water waves, Luo Xiaobei fell into the water suddenly.
An icy chill instantly poured into her ears and body.
The robe as thin as a cicada's wings given by Shuyou did not lag back at this time, and the water swept Luo Xiaobei into the dark river, Luo Xiaobei was familiar with the water, and he could still support it for a while.
At this time, she couldn't understand why there was such a sudden change, and the most important thing was that she couldn't go back to Shibi.
The water of the dark river was like ice that had just melted, and it was okay at first, but after a long time, Luo Xiaobei first noticed that his hands and feet were numb.
The extremely fast water quickly brought her downstream, and Luo Xiaobei wanted to go to the surface of the water to change her breath but couldn't go up because of the impact of the water.
His limbs were weak, Luo Xiaobei simply closed his eyes and held his breath, hoping that he wouldn't encounter anything in the water.
But as soon as her idea came to fruition, Luo Xiaobei felt bad, because the pain in her ankle told her that she was afraid that she had been bitten by something.
I really want to come to something.
The pain in his ankle made Luo Xiaobei's whole face even paler.
Luo Xiaobei cursed in his heart, and his fingers, which had been frozen and lost their flexibility, struggled to pull out the dagger from the tied sleeves.
I didn't have time to see what it was, and as soon as I lifted my foot, I struggled to break through the resistance and buoyancy of the water, and the sharp dagger directly ripped off the piece of skin on my ankle.
The smell of blood suddenly spread in all directions.
Luo Xiaobei quickly withdrew the dagger, and the huge pain made her more conscious.
Such an approach will only attract more of the stuff in the water.
The smell of blood is the most pungent smell.
Luo Xiaobei was not worried, the icy water was already about to make her lose her sense of the outside world.
The faster the water, the faster the bloody gas dissipated.
And the skin at the ankle is the thinnest and the place with the least blood.
Being washed with ice water can also stop bleeding in a short time.
Thinking like this, Luo Xiaobei dared to be so ruthless to himself.
Otherwise, the results will only get worse.
Her limbs gradually weakened, blood loss, and freezing, Luo Xiaobei only felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and the darkness that followed completely engulfed her consciousness.
――――
When he woke up again, the first thing that came to Luo Xiaobei's brain was pain.
And it's at the foot of the place.
She moved, looking up at where she was.
Only then did I realize that I had come out of the dark river.
However, this place is not a place outside the mausoleum, she is still in the mausoleum, but it is no longer a dark scene.
At least, Luo Xiaobei can now see clearly what is biting her ankle.
It was a fish.
This fish is different from the Horo fish that I have seen before.
In comparison, the size of this fish is more than ten times smaller than that of Horo.
But because it lives in the dark river all year round, the fish's eyes seem to have only a slit, and the whole body has no scales, only a hard shell.
The place of the mouth is very flexible, and the sharp teeth are embedded in the flesh of Luo Xiaobei's ankle.
It's as if you have to penetrate the bone and bite into it until you stop there.
Luo Xiaobei was so angry that his face turned green, and he directly took out a dagger and smashed the teeth of this strange fish.
He ripped it off his ankle and threw it directly on the shore where there was no water.
Luo Xiaobei slowly climbed ashore and washed the wounds on his feet with the gentle flow of water under his feet.
Carefully picking out the tooth of the strange fish, he examined the wound again.
The ankles of both feet were bloody and miserable.
The piece that was stripped off by Luo Xiaobei at the beginning, the skin at the wound was already white, and there was not much blood.
The wound and blood on the tooth of the freshly broken fish kept gushing out, and it slowly drifted down the water under his feet into the distance, and was slowly diluted.
Luo Xiaobei used the dagger studded with gems to cut the hem of the robe given by Shuyou, and tore off two cloth belts to make a simple bandage of the wound.
Then he slowly turned around and turned his gaze to the pitch-black fish with its hard shell and still wagging its tail.
Since he wanted to eat her Luo Xiaobei's meat, Luo Xiaobei ate its meat.
Luo Xiaobei thought so, and then did it.
Until the smell of barbecue spread on the shore, making a sizzling and tempting sound, Luo Xiaobei suddenly felt satisfied.
I lamented that it was the right choice to steal some of the spices there in September in my purse, and I sighed that I was fortunate to have a purse that was inviolable.
The things that made the fire were still there, and the wood used to grill the fish, Luo Xiaobei only saw a lot of dry broken wood on the shore.
In order to take revenge, I can't care about the origin of these woods for a while, and I don't know how long it has been anyway, and I finally have something to fill my stomach, so I can't let it go.
The fish in the dark river are very clean and unpolluted, and Luo Xiaobei subconsciously doesn't think that these fish want to eat people.
Anyway, not many people in this hellish place come back and are buried in the belly of a fish, right?
Thinking of this, she began to eat fish with peace of mind.
After a bite, Luo Xiaobei pouted.
It's the same barbecue, why is it so delicious in September? It looks good but it's hard to swallow?
Luo Xiaobei is not a picky person about diet, not to mention that she needs to eat to recover her strength now, otherwise she will definitely not be able to eat such firewood fish and meat.
It's not just firewood, it's really hard to eat!
It's also very salty!
It's all to blame for this fish being unpalatable, Luo Xiaobei thought to himself!
