Chapter 156: The Thing in the Pool
By the time we came back to our senses, Baili Xiping's shoulder had been pierced with a bloody hole by a long hook, and he was quickly dragged into the darkness.
"Baili!"
Without saying a word, Baili immediately rushed in, and in a few moments, the flashlight turned into a small point of light.
scolded secretly, grabbed the backpack and chased after the sissy, and didn't care about what was inside.
I don't know how long I ran, but I heard the echo of metal hitting echoes in the entire dark passage, one after another, far and near, endlessly. Oh no, has it already happened?!
I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and in the darkness, I only saw a shadow half-hanging in the air, and the ground was covered with blood.
As soon as I ran over, Ayou pounced on me covered in blood, startling me, and I saw clearly that the shadow above was Baili, and he climbed up little by little with the support of his long sword.
There is no road ahead, and the huge stone walls are smooth and level, with hardly anything that can be used for rock climbing. There was a circular hole with a diameter of nearly one meter on the top of the ten-meter-high roof, and the entire stone wall was stained with a wide range of irregular bloodstains.
"Huh! Barry! Don't be impulsive, wait for us! The sissy shouted while learning from him, fixed it with a saber, and quickly caught up with Baili's footsteps. Baili didn't say a word, and at this time he had already drilled into the hole, and at the end, he just glanced back at us.
Exercise!
I grabbed Ayou and stuffed it into my backpack, with a dagger in my right hand and a saber in my left hand, and gritted my teeth and climbed up.
From the hole you can hear the grinding sound of the hooked snake wriggling and the subtle sound of water waves. My scalp tingled for a while, and I haven't seen it yet. I felt a huge sense of oppression first.
When I was about to get to the entrance of the cave, the back collar was grabbed by the sissy, and I turned over and went in.
All the sounds disappeared suddenly, and the two people nested in the entrance of the cave, holding their flashlights to shine down, and in the darkness, only two white lights were moving, and the situation below was not clear, and the vision was chaotic. It seems to be a deep pool.
I looked at the sissy one eye. Nodding at him, he let Ayou out, then took a sharp breath, turned and jumped. Instantly sank into the water for several meters. But it still hasn't touched the bottom. How deep is this pool?!
The whole person hangs in the middle of the pool, and his limbs can't find anything that can be used as a borrowing, as if living in a void space where gravity doubles. No matter how I moved, no matter how much I swed, it didn't seem to make much sense, and this kind of nothingness really made me panic.
I didn't get used to the water pressure, and the range of action was too violent, so I choked on several mouthfuls of water, and my nasal cavity was sour and numb.
Suddenly, it seemed that the sound of rippling underwater from not far away was heard again.
"Little white face ......" The fuzzy voice of the sissy came through the water waves, and my mind suddenly woke up from the chaos, and I spent enough energy to go upstream.
I'm not good at water, and I have almost no swimming experience, so I can't last long. At the slightest threat underwater, I'm almost certain to die.
Just when I was about to surface, I heard the sound of metal chains rubbing against each other, the water waves swayed violently, something big quickly approached, and subconsciously used the last strength to cross the water, and while taking a deep breath, there was a sharp pain in my calf, and I was dragged down by a brute force.
I didn't know that the flashlight was thrown over there, but I just instinctively stabbed the dagger hard, and the other party immediately jumped violently, and the calf was torn in pain, and later, it gradually became numb.
The whole person was thrown dizzy under the water with its flipping, choked several mouthfuls of water, and felt nervous in his heart, and a huge sense of oppression almost occupied the entire brain. But he had to calm down and look for any opportunity he could take advantage of to fight back.
In the confusion, my right shoulder was jerked, and I vaguely saw someone cut off the long hook that hooked my calf with a sword, and as soon as my feet were empty, I was instantly pulled out of the water and landed on the shore less than two meters wide, and collapsed to the ground.
There was a great churn in the pool, and the water splashed the whole darkroom, and I lay there, drenched from head to toe. The entire space seemed to begin to distort, barely able to do anything but withstand the constant impact of the waves and the chaos caused by the massive tremors.
When I regained my composure, I saw that Baili had just rescued me, his clothes were almost torn, almost naked, holding a sword in one hand, staring at the pool surface that was still rippling with water lines.
Escaping death, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the stone wall, his consciousness slowly began to return, the wound on his calf kept oozing blood, and the tearing pain suddenly filled his whole body.
As soon as I wanted to speak, Baili leaned down and came over to give me a simple bandage. This kind of wound, in such a place, if not treated properly, can be fatal once infected.
"Hundred...... Oh no, what about your grandfather? "I admit that I am not a pain-tolerant person, and it is impossible to stab my legs without wrinkling my eyebrows like Baili Xiping. So, try to reduce the pain by distracting yourself.
"I'm here." A thin and strong hand was placed on my shoulder, and I found that Baili Xiping was sitting less than two meters away from me, and the wound on his shoulder had been hastily bandaged.
Baili didn't say a word, bandaged my wounds, and sat directly on the edge of Baili Xiping, staring at the pool noodles.
The sissy only came down at this time, except that she was soaking wet, there was almost nothing to be embarrassed about, and it should be regarded as the best one we have here.
He hurriedly glanced at the three of us, and became rare serious: "How is it, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's not dead yet." I suppressed the pain and replied, at which point Ayo jumped out of the sissy arms and circled around us.
The sissy saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she sat down against me, touched her nose, and said nothing.
"Now, you have to tell me, what the hell are you going to do?" I turned my head sideways and stared at Baili Xi's flat face, since I had come here, it was impossible to turn back, what cause and effect, I had to let it go.
The corner of Baili Xiping's eyes twitched slightly, and he could see it clearly from my angle: "The key to the Pisces Exquisite Box." ”
As soon as these words came out, the sissy and I both stood up straight, Pisces exquisite box?! Isn't it what Uncle Yuan and Gu Fei have been pursuing! Key? Could it be that the key hidden in the Jade Buddha that we got at the bottom of the cliff is also fake?
That's right, the key that can open the fake box is, of course, a fake.
Baili just glanced at it, pursed his lips, and thought for thought.
"The key is in the mouth of the hooked snake, without the key, the answer can never be found, and such a fate can never be broken."
The sissy took a breath of cold air, and was a little emotional: "Old man, are you sure you are not mistaken?" It's harder to take something from the mouth of a hooked snake than to pull out a tiger's teeth, who the hell has nothing to do, put the key in that thing's mouth?! ”
Baili Xiping didn't speak, just looked at me, the answer was self-evident, the sissy was suddenly speechless, and pointed at me "you, you, you" for a long time, and didn't spit out a complete sentence. (To be continued......)
