Chapter 22: The Stone Chamber
After the passage was completely opened, the earthen walls in front of and behind me disappeared.
Now, those earthen walls should be the muscles in the snake's belly or something, but the snake itself is beyond common sense, so it doesn't make sense to explain it with common sense.
I had climbed forward a few steps before I touched Jin's feet.
Ah Jin was lying on his side on the ground, whimpering and crying.
I hurriedly crawled over and took her into my arms, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Ah Jin, I'm here, I paralyzed this thing, it will definitely not trouble us again." ”
Ah Jin suddenly reached out and hugged me, and the strength was not much different from the feeling of being squeezed by a snake just now.
In fact, I can imagine Ah Jin's mood and face the situation just now.
She had so much strength but to no avail, and the firewood knife was behind her but she couldn't pull it out.
In the midst of that absolute darkness, the helplessness and fear that comes after powerlessness are absolutely fatal.
Ah Jin held my phone tightly in his hand, and the screen emitted a faint light.
Seeing the messy and disorderly number on the mobile phone interface, I knew how desperate Ah Jin was in the dark just now, she must have wanted to turn on the flashlight, but she couldn't do anything but press it randomly.
I took my phone and turned on the flashlight, and took a picture of Ah Jin and then myself, "Ah Jin, look, it's me." It's okay, I've got it all done. ”
Ah Jin opened his eyes, tears hanging all over his beautiful little face.
I smiled like a kind elder, and touched her head gently, "Is Xiao Ah Jin still afraid?" ”
Ah Jin wiped his face, shook his head and pointed to my phone, "Teach me." ”
"Haha, okay!"
The two of us sat cross-legged in the aisle face to face, and I took my phone and taught her step by step to unlock it, how to draw out the drop-down menu, and how to find the icon with a small flashlight on it.
A few minutes later, Ah Jin was familiar with the operation of the car, and even cleaned up the backstage.
Ah Jin's mood seems to recover quickly, but I know that that kind of encounter can't be eradicated from my heart so quickly, and most people will try their best to understand, guide, and digest the so-called knot left by this incident when they encounter this kind of thing.
But Ah Jin could only bury it in the depths of his heart and no longer pay attention to it.
After crawling for another ten minutes, we saw an exit that was much narrower than the passage, and I tried to convince myself not to delve into whether this was the anus of the great snake or not.
Following Ah Jin, I squeezed out this strange passage.
After landing, the touch under our feet was hard, and we finally stepped on the so-called real ground, which also made me feel a little more comfortable.
The phone still has a small half of the battery left, and now we have to find a way to find a way to replace the lighting of the phone, I really don't want to go in the dark in this place called the Funeral Gu Hall, who knows what else we will encounter next.
Judging by the echo, this is a large room, and it should be quite empty.
I held my phone up and looked around, everything in the aperture was empty, but to my delight, I saw a torch on the wall.
A layer of ash fell on the torches, and I don't know if the accelerant on the fire can still be lit.
Ah Jin guessed my intentions, walked over and took a torch and handed it to me.
I used a lighter, and the light of the fire immediately lit up everything around us, and yes, we were in a large square stone room.
This stone chamber is initially estimated to be at least one hundred and forty or fifty square meters, and there is really nothing in the stone chamber.
But in the middle of the stone chamber, on the ground, there was a large circular hole with strange patterns painted on all sides, the diameter of the hole was four or five meters, and below it was a calm pitch-black water.
According to Qin Huai's investigation, the Burial Gu Hall is a place used to cultivate Gu worms and then conduct spell experiments, I thought that there would be a lot of large and small jars in it, and even a lot of human or animal corpses as experimental subjects.
But I never expected the Funeral Hall to be an empty room with a pool.
But it's also possible that I haven't found a way to get somewhere else yet.
Thinking of this, I asked Ah Jin, "Don't you come here often, so when you came in before, was there any difference between it and now?" ”
Ah Jin shook his head.
It seems that when Ah Jin came here alone before, the passage did not shrink and squeeze, so when I think about the pot, I have a solid back, it seems that the excellent performance of the giant snake today is all because of me.
"Ah Jin, then why have you come down so many times?" I asked again.
Ah Jin walked to the edge of the circular hole and looked down, "Catch fish." ”
"Oh? And the fish here? ”
Since there are fish, what is connected to the surface of the water should be the living water outside, and it is likely to be the lake where the real entrance to the Funeral Gu Hall that Ah Jin said before is located.
If that's the case, then Qin Huai and that man should come up from here in a while, and then I just need to snatch Qin Huai back with Ah Jin, Ah Jin has so much strength, we are two people, it should be no problem.
I was thinking about it when suddenly a string of bubbles "gurgled" from the depths of the water.
I thought it would be Qin Huai or the man who would surface next, but a few seconds later, a piece of tattered clothes rolled up from under the dark water.
Ah Jin was quick, and as soon as he reached out, he pulled up the lump of clothes and threw it at my feet.
Before I could take a closer look, a round thing with white flowers gurgled and rolled to the side.
I leaned over to take a torch and shine it, and I was so frightened that my bones were crispy!
That's a guy who doesn't know how long it's been soaked... The human head is already white and swollen to the point of being unrecognizable...
The two cloudy eyes on the human head bulged outward, the lips were gone, the two rows of dark yellow teeth were just poking out, and there were only two black holes in the nose that were bubbling out, and the few remaining hairs on the scalp were tightly attached to the forehead.
I took a few steps with my legs limp and sat down on the ground, it was the first time I had seen a dead man, a mutilated dead man with such a horrific death.
Seeing that I was frightened, Ah Jin walked over and kicked the head into the corner of the stone room.
"How can there be dead people at the bottom of the lake?" I muttered to myself, and the surface of the water suddenly churned again.
I turned my head to look over, and the stunned was actually delayed, but I still saw a huge fish's tail sinking rapidly from the water.
Ah Jin took me by the shoulders and dragged me out of the big hole, and in a panic the torch in my hand fell on the edge of the pool, and in the light of the flickering fire, I saw a huge eye look at me underwater, and moved away.
"Big fish."
Ah Jin looked at the pool and said stupidly.
