Volume 1 The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 79 The Giant Worm

We didn't bother with these two bodies, and though we wanted to bury them, no one had the courage to face the sloppy corpses; And there are rocks everywhere, and there is no soil at all, and you can't even dig a hole or cover them with soil.

A few of us sat back by the fire, and neither of us spoke, but we were all in a daze. In the end, I opened my mouth first, breaking the silence in the cave: "Everyone has seen the death of those two people...... It's really miserable, but the moment you fall to the ground, you're killed instantly, it's better than being overwhelmed by those two disgusting monsters, right? ”

"You're saying the two who died were driven down by monsters?" The jar interjected and asked.

I nodded and said, "How did the two of us jump, how did the two of them jump down, but they jumped in the wrong position, so they died tragically...... By the way, didn't we just say that the archaeological team should leave someone on it to take care of it? I'm guessing these two are the ones who stayed on top. ”

Xiao Ai said: "Now the archaeological team other than Yutian has found four people, and there are seven people, I don't know where they are?" ”

"Keep going, you'll find it!" I say.

Xu Yunshu asked, "But where should we go?" Although it is not accessible in all directions, there are many forks in the road, which way should we go? Although she was asking everyone a question, everyone's eyes were on me.

"The remains of the glasses were found in the river, and the other two were also washed out by the river, of course, along this underground river. I guess that's the route the archaeological team chose to take, right? I looked at Xu Yunshu again.

Xu Yunshu said: "That's right, water sources have been the cradle of human civilization since ancient times, so human habitats are always very close to water sources. For example, the ancient Western Asian civilizations of the Euphrates and Tigris, the ancient Egyptian civilizations of the Nile Valley, the ancient Indian civilizations of the Indus and Ganges Rivers, and the ancient Chinese civilizations of the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins were all like this. Therefore, in the process of archaeology, if you want to find the footprints of human civilization, when there is no definite route, you will follow the direction of the water source, which is also a basic understanding of archaeology. ”

"I just took a general look, this underground river appears and disappears from time to time, and it doesn't always exist, maybe I can't say when it will disappear, and we will be blind by then." I said, "So you have to keep your eyes on the line, and you have to keep your eyes open, your ears up, and if you find any signs of a river diversion, you have to tell other people to save them from going the wrong way." ”

While we were cooking here, we took a break and ate something for lunch. After lunch, we got up and walked again.

The entire network of underground caverns is really huge, and we have walked a few kilometers before going down to the second floor. Now that I'm down there, I don't know if there's still three floors underground, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid the entire mountain is empty. Walking in such a wide and complicated place, we can only rely on the underground river to guide the way to its end, in addition to being well signposted. By then, it's time for new clues to guide us, right?

We rested for half an hour before our soaked clothes were thoroughly dried. Once the altar and I were dressed, we walked along the underground river into one of the passages. After walking for a short time, the underground river disappeared into the cave and really disappeared into the ground. Since there were no forks in the road, we kept going. Along the way, everyone seemed very cautious, and they never spoke about anything, even if they spoke in a low voice, and in this environment, it really made people not interested in talking. But there are always exceptions......

"Why are you so silent? There's nothing here, it's just a little darker, how old are you still afraid of the dark? The altar couldn't stand such a quiet atmosphere, and first shouted loudly, "If you want me to say that we should be active and lively, sing and sing!" Seeing that there was no one to pick up the stubble, he sang loudly to himself: "If I can see, I can easily distinguish day and night, and I can accurately hold your hand in the crowd......"

The sound of "pop", which was particularly loud in the darkness, interrupted the singing of the jar.

The jar screamed: "Poor ghost, what are you doing?" ”

"Singing is singing, don't touch your hands!" I replied lightly.

The jar shouted, "I touched you, and I didn't touch anyone else!" ”

"That's the crux of the matter!" I said to him seriously.

The altar said dismissively to me: "Cut, I don't bother to pay attention to you...... You are my eyes, take me to whine......" Before he finished singing, I covered his mouth and whispered to him: "Shh~ Listen!" Seeing that my face was solemn, the altar did not know what was happening, so he also listened with bated breath.

"It seems like there's a sound of water flowing ahead!" Zeng Xiaomi said happily.

I nodded: "Yes, it seems that this underground river has reappeared in front of me." ”

Sure enough, after less than 500 meters of progress, the river once again exposed the ground.

"Do you hear anything else besides the sound of running water?" Xu Yunshu suddenly asked.

"Anything else?" I was a little puzzled, but it didn't look like a joke to look at Xu Yunshu. Indeed, she is not a jar, and she will not make such a joke out of place.

I listened carefully for a long time, and I couldn't hear anything other than the sound of rushing water: "No, did you hear it wrong?" ”

Xu Yunshu heard my questioning, pouted and said, "How come?" I just heard ......"

"Boom~" A rapid grinding sound sounded on the mountain wall behind us, and the sound was like something climbing over. We hurriedly turned our heads and shone our flashlights at the mountain wall, back and forth, left and right, but we didn't see anything.

Strange sounds, unknown horrors, made us slowly retreat, retreat, and gradually lean towards the riverbank. But the voice disappeared and did not appear for a long time. I didn't dare to come out, so I stared around...... At this point, something seemed to drip onto the back of my neck, and it was hot. Is it water? No, the water here is colder than ice, it can't be water. My first reaction was to touch it with my hand, put it under my nose and smell it, and it smelled a little fishy.

Immediately after that, another drop. I looked up and it was pitch black. Raising my hand and shining a flashlight, I froze directly there, and a giant insect five or six meters long standing out of the water was directly above us. A pair of large pincers protruded from its mouth, as if searching for prey. The giant insect is translucent and has a slight greenish tinge. The sound was the sound of it swimming past the wall, and then it dived into the water without us noticing and attacked from behind. If it weren't for the slime falling from the mouth that revealed its tracks, I'm afraid we wouldn't know what was going on until we died.
