Chapter 63: The Bottomless Pool
There is a waterhole in a corner of the cave not far from us, which is not big, the diameter of the pool surface is about three or four meters, the water quality is emerald green, and it exudes a burst of cold air.
This pool seems to be quiet but rippling, sparkling in the faint light and reflected on the stalactites and stalagmites on the roof and wall of the cave, like a dream, like a fairyland.
I have studied junior high school geography and know that the waterholes formed by the karst landform in this karst cave are often extremely complex and bottomless, and the holes in the cave walls are the same, and they do not know where to lead, commonly known as bottomless pools.
Although it looks very clear, I don't know why, I always feel that the water is filled with a faint fishy smell, like the smell of big fish under the water, or some kind of aquatic product.
After some tossing, the fat man and I were already thirsty and smoked, and the fat man was overjoyed when he saw a pool, and got up and staggered to find water to drink.
I hesitated, and was just about to stop him, when suddenly I saw that there seemed to be rubble falling from the black hole above my head, and it seemed to be a flash of fire.
I heard a voice scolding: "Watch your step, don't fall the torch!" ”
This voice was very familiar, and my heart tightened, and I hurriedly pulled up the fat man and hid in a stalagmite dense place in the cave, staring nervously at the entrance of the cave where the dragon's body was frightened.
In a moment's effort, a thick piece of hemp rope fell from the hole, and several people in Tsing Yi fell down the rope and jumped to the ground in a blink of an eye.
The person who came was none other than the group of stinky Taoist priests who were chasing after us, three of the eight people were holding torches, and the cave was also instantly ablaze, dazzling people's ears and eyes.
In my heart, it was as if there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping. Roast! Do you want to be so dedicated? Do Taoist priests get paid well? can chase this kind of place, this is a special code to play with life!
The space in the cave is not small, but it is not very large, and after making the desperate choice to escape into the cave and experiencing nine deaths, we definitely do not dare to risk our lives and burrow into the holes in the cave wall.
After all, it's all about death, so why die so tragically? If I was really caught in the alchemy furnace, my little brother, I would have been cremated, and it would be a regular death.
My heart was in turmoil, when I heard a little Taoist priest in Tsing Yi shouting: "Senior brother, there is a waterhole there!" "This is the same grandson who was fighting with me at the beginning, and he was very angry and foamed at me.
Listening to his tone full of joy, he should also be thirsty, so he trotted all the way to the waterhole, and put his face directly close to the pool to drink.
The grandson Niu drank and sighed very satisfied: "Senior brothers, come on, this water is sweet and good......
He should have wanted to say "it's delicious", but before the word "drink" could be spoken, it was like an angry thunder in the pool.
In the splash of water, a dark yellow, basin-sized triangular snake head quickly broke through the waves, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the upper body of Xiaodao in one bite......
Before swallowing it was finished, I saw that the snake's head was thrown horizontally, and it actually bit off the little Taoist's body up to the waist, and the blood was like a fountain, gushing out of the cavity of only half of the path, leaving a large pool of shocking thick blood on the ground.
Before the poor fool could snort, he was killed by the monster in an instant, and he died in Huangquan.
After studying art with Master for three years, I have seen countless dead people. But those are all old people who died suddenly of illness or old age, and such a "fresh" and bloody death at this moment is definitely the first time in my life.
Under the light of the torches and the faint light projected from the top of the cave, a fresh life disappeared too quickly and tragically, and this huge visual impact shocked me with cold hairs and cold limbs.
In the air, the smell of fresh sweet blood also instantly became rich and tangy, mixed with the fishy smell in the pool, impacting the chest, making people stomach churning and nausea.
It happened so suddenly, and all the Taoist priests, including me and the fat man, who were hiding behind stalagmites on the ground, couldn't react.
The man-eating monster did not stop, but took advantage of the situation to burst out of the pool.
It spat out a purple-red letter half a meter long from its mouth, licking the residual blood from the corner of its mouth, and let out a loud, strange cry like a baby's cry, which shook the echo in the cave.
It didn't pay any attention to the half of the dead bodies lying on the ground, and quickly pounced on the remaining Taoist priests who were stunned on the spot.
With the help of the light of the torches, I could see that the monster that came out of Tan was not a snake at all, but a creature that resembled a giant salamander.
The giant salamander is the baby fish, as everyone should know, is an omnivorous, relatively gentle creature, also known as a living fossil.
The biggest feature of the giant salamander is that it can cry like a baby, which is also the origin of the common name baby fish.
But the monster in front of us at this moment is definitely not a giant salamander.
According to records, the giant salamander is only two meters long and weighs about 20 kilograms, and the goods in front of it are about four meters long.
It had a triangular head like a poisonous snake, and it spat out long letters, and a pair of round black eyes spit out, dripping and turning, exuding an evil and greedy cold light.
It was covered with dark yellow skin, very rough, like the skin of a toad, dripping with unknown liquid.
The body is frightened with thick limbs, with sharp claws, and a long tail from thick to thin drags behind him, constantly swinging.
This image is not so much a giant salamander as it is more like a giant lizard that has only been magnified a thousand times!
I'll go...... Big brother, you're on the wrong set, right?!
There is still this kind of thing hidden in the cave, thanks to the fat man who didn't go to Tan's side to drink, if he went, I am afraid he would have to go one step ahead of the short-lived little Taoist.
Although this monster is huge, its speed is extremely fast, and all I can hear is the black bearded Taoist priest shouting: "Be careful! But it was too late, and in a blink of an eye, another Taoist priest was hit and fell to the ground by the monster.
After a terrible howl, his head was bitten off, most of his chest was gnawed off, and blood flowed everywhere, indescribably tragic and bloody.
The monster leaned over the prey, and was gnawing crunchy and full of fragrant, but felt pain in his back, and it turned out that the black Hu Taoist reacted very quickly, and saw that he couldn't save the same door, so he simply took out a flying knife from his arms and threw it at the monster.
He threw three flying knives in a row, and the movements were done in one go, and the head was full of accuracy, and the knives all hit the monster's back.
Unexpectedly, after the flying knife hit the monster's back, it seemed to pierce a few peeing cow balls that were used to make hot pot, and the yellow-green juice instantly exploded from the wound pierced by the flying knife, splashing all over the sky, two or three meters away.
The two Taoist priests who had not yet reacted in front of them were sprayed all over their faces by the sudden splashing juice, and they all fell to the ground screaming, bursts of white smoke came out of their bodies, rolling in pain, and soon lost their breath......
