Chapter 5 Desperate Survival
After two turns, there were still lights, and by this time the single passage was several miles long, with narrow edges, and could only stand against the wall. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to find the way at this time, the two of them looked all the way, all around were solid stones, and there was no shadow of the slightest mechanism.
"Is it getting hotter in here?" Hu Mao'er asked.
Swallow chased it too. The heat comes from the body of water, and the swallow chases the strange, probing the water with its hands, and it is warm. The autumn wind has risen, and even the water on the ground is cold, but the water under the ground is so hot. "Could it be that this is still a living hot spring?"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and Hu Mao'er was stunned, "There is something in the water!" As he spoke, he quickly reached out to retrieve it, and the thing quickly escaped and disappeared. Hu Mao'er jumped into the water strangely, and quickly shot out when he saw that there was a water flow disorder, but suddenly screamed and jumped up. I saw that his right hand was red, and the flesh in his palm was also opened.
When that thing appeared, Yan Zichai felt strange, and at this time, seeing Hu Mao'er being burned, he was suddenly shocked, "Do you know something!" ”
"It's like a red-hot whip." The cat's face looked underwater in pain. In the dim flowing water, from time to time, several snakes covered in scales swim and shuttle through the water. The flesh was burned when he stretched out his hand, and the scales carried the flesh down like a steel knife, and if he hadn't let it go quickly, I was afraid that the whole palm of his hand would have been wasted.
"Fire Serpent!" Swallow chased in surprise. How could such a thing be in such a place?
"What fiery snake?"
Yanzi pondered for a moment, "Taishang Lake always fogs in the middle of the lake on the night of August 15 every year, and boating is prohibited. Some say it's because the dragon travels, but it's actually a strange snake in the lake, full of fire, if I'm not mistaken, it should be that kind of thing. ”
"They came out of nowhere." Hu Mao'er pondered and asked, "Is there a way to restrain yourself?" ”
"No, if there is a restraint method, even Yunzhai will not ban sailing on August 15 every year." Yanzi shook his head and said, "Fortunately, this is flowing water, and the water temperature can't rise, otherwise we will be steamed to death sooner or later." ”
In such a way, the two of them were even more anxious to find an exit, and they walked away with light skills. The two of them wanted to remove the oil lamp from the wall, but the oil lamp was indeed embedded in the stone, and the swallow tried to see if there was a mechanism, but there was an empty groove in the base of the oil lamp, and a wooden plug in the groove. As soon as the wooden cork is poked up, the stone cover on the wall that Yanzi Chai thought was a decoration will be buckled down, protecting the oil lamp to death. What's the use of that?
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many turns they turned, but both of them were extremely tired, when suddenly a side stone piece loosened, and the swallow chased and almost fell into the water. However, after a short break, he continued to move on, and as he moved forward, the number of fire snakes in the water also increased.
Swallow chased suddenly stopped, "Did you hear anything?" ”
Poof! Poof! One by one. The cat stopped, and there was darkness ahead, and the voice came from the front and echoed in the darkness. "Did you notice, we haven't changed direction in a long time."
"What?"
"You didn't notice that we had been walking for a long time, and it was three times as long as the previous one. As I saw before, the passage we walked was at most a few dozen steps longer than the previous one. Hu Mao'er said, "We're at the end." ”
The two of them had no strength, but when they saw that they were about to reach the end of the passage, they raised their spirits and moved forward quickly. Seeing the faint light more than ten feet later, the two of them were happy, and then accelerated their pace.
The authentic suddenly opened up. It is a circular cavern, and there are oil lamps on the surrounding walls every few steps, and it is unknown what keeps them burning for a long time. Along the stone wall, there are five stone platforms that are high and low. The two of them were tired, and the stone platform in front of the door was just resting. When I sat down, I saw the stones on the top falling down, poof! Poof! It was the voice that the swallow chased just heard.
"That's not right!" Swallow chased suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the water and staring at the stones. Poof! The swallow was frightened, and sure enough! The stone did not sink when it fell into the water, and when it touched the water, it stretched out, and turned into a black scaly snake and swam away!
Hu Mao'er also saw that this stone was alive! The two were shocked, stared at each other, and then looked up, only to see that there were dense black edged stone bars above, which looked extremely terrifying. The black stones peeled off one by one, staining them with water and turning snakes. What is this place? Hell doesn't work! The two of them are confused, this is not something that will be in the world! What exactly is Wei Wuyu!
Yanzi looked at Hu Mao'er and smiled, "I won't be able to die for a while when I see this situation, but I can't get out." I'm going to die here. ”
Hu Mao'er sneered, "This place must be connected to the outside world, otherwise they will be suffocated, since they are connected, they will definitely be able to get out." ”
The swallows couldn't say that what Hu Mao'er said was wrong, the road was not a dead end, but they couldn't find a way out. Swallow chasing nature is to take one step at a time, if there is really no way, worrying all day long is just adding to the distress. Hu Mao'er was indeed unwilling, and went to recheck from time to time, almost touching no corner of the cave.
Hunger can still suffer, thirst but urgent, I don't know if I am hungry and faint, Hu Mao'er watched the swallow chase, and his suspicion became bigger and bigger.
"You know there's a tunnel in the cabin!" Hu Mao'er said suddenly.
Swallow shook his head and said, "I just know there's a mechanism, I don't know what it will be after opening." ”
Hu Mao'er squinted and watched the swallow chase, but he didn't speak.
The swallow stared at the stone platform where Hu Mao'er was sitting, and thought about it. This place has come to an end, such a huge and complex waterway can't be nothing, is the way out underwater? Under water! The swallow was stunned for a moment, and suddenly muttered, "The water level is falling." ”
Hu Mao'er stared around and didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" ”
"The water level is going down." The swallow chased and repeated, saying that he was suddenly overjoyed, stood up and spoke faster, and his voice was higher, "The water level is falling, and you can see that there is a watermark on the surface of the stone platform where the water is exposed, which means that the water is descending." ”
Hu Mao'er glanced at the stone platform, and sure enough, he leaned over and used the dagger to melt the water level, and when he woke up in a few hours, the water level was really dropping. Hu Mao'er looked at Yan Zichai, "What else do you know?" His tone was indeed three points of suspicion, three points of anger and three points of murder. Faintly, he felt that the swallow chased him and knew where the way out was, but he was hanging him, "The way out is underwater?" Hu Mao'er asked again.
"Perhaps, the current situation can only be assumed." Yanzi laughed dryly, "When the water falls, whether there is a way out or not, of course I can't be sure." It's useless for you to look at me like that. ”
Hu Mao'er refused to believe it. Swallow chased no more, closed his eyes and rested.
The water level is slowly falling, but it is also falling more and more slowly, Hu Mao'er has long run out of patience, and the closed and dim space is oppressive and uncomfortable. Hunger can be endured, but thirst is unbearable. Yanzi chased his chapped lips, and his face was pale because of poisoning, so he looked at the water and suddenly smiled, "Do you think this water can be drunk?" As he was talking, he suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain, and Yanzi Chaiqiang couldn't help but vomit blood. It turned out that the three-day period was approaching, and the swallow chasing poison was about to attack. Looking at Hu Mao'er again, he is still vigilant.
Yanzi opened his eyes and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, "If you don't believe me, the end of the two of us is probably that I will be poisoned first, and you will be trapped here later." Yan Zichai suddenly crossed the stone platform and bowed down to scoop up water, and was about to drink it when he reached his mouth, and was suddenly beaten off by Hu Mao'er. This water is glowing with a strange red, and there are 'fire snakes' in it, especially the fire snakes in this cave are extremely dense, and it is disgusting to look at.
"If you want to die, you have to get out of here before you die!"
Yan Zichai smiled bitterly, "Which do you say is more toxic than the toxicity of this water or the toxicity of the Three-Day Broken Intestine Pill?" ”
"I'll drink." Hu Mao'er sneered, "If I am poisoned, how can I also be buried with you." ”
Who can endure three days without drinking water. Although the water looks disgusting, the water only feels comfortable and enjoyable when it enters the mouth, and the body can't wait to jump into the water, but the consciousness forcibly pulls him. After about half a pillar of incense, I felt that there was nothing abnormal before I said, "This water is probably not poisonous, and you won't die of thirst if you drink it after holding back your nausea." As he spoke, he threw down a pill, "This is a semi-decomposition pill." ”
Swallow took it and swallowed it, and also took a few sips of water. Looking at Hu Mao'er again, there were unsolvable doubts in his heart, "Who are you?" ”
Hu Mao'er, "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”
Swallow chased, "Is there anything you can't say about dying?" ”
"Why are you asking if you're going to die?" Hu Mao'er said coldly, and suddenly laughed again, "I'm not going to die in this kind of place." Hu Mao'er was in a depressed mood, stopped talking, closed her eyes and rested, just waiting for the water level to drop to show a way out.
Of course, there may be a way out.
