In this way, the rumor that someone had seen a python at the mouth of the tunnel was true, and if he did, he might be in danger.

Han Du's breathing unconsciously became urgent, and he raised his eyes to look around, very worried that the big black python would appear around.

At this moment, there was a movement in the grass opposite, and the grass swayed as if something was approaching.

Before Han Du could see the situation clearly, he screamed in fright, turned his head and ran in the direction of the abandoned tunnel, now he just wanted to complete this novice task quickly.

However, after he ran away, an equally frightened animal ran out of the grass, which turned out to be a large hare.

Han Du, who ran out for a distance, didn't care what was behind him, he was a little relieved to see that there was nothing to catch up, and then looked at the opposite side, the vague mountain was already in front of him, and the darkness brought people an invisible sense of oppression.

Under the mountain, a semi-circular hole appeared, this is the abandoned tunnel, Han Du also came here to play with his friends when he was a child, but at that time, the people were small, and no one dared to enter the tunnel.

Han Du still remembered that he and a few brave people stood at the entrance of the tunnel at that time, and found that the temperature difference between the entrance of the cave and the outside was very large, and he would feel very hot when he stood at the entrance of the cave and took a step back, and he would feel very cool when he stood at the entrance of the cave.

Now he was standing at the mouth of the tunnel with a flashlight, still feeling that the temperature inside was very low, and then he used the flashlight to shine inside the tunnel, and saw that there was indeed a layer of stagnant water, and at the mouth of the cave, there were traces left by some kind of animal crawling.

This reminded him of the big black python, and there was a faint sense of something bad in his heart.

At this moment, the voice of the system sounded in his head: "It has arrived at half past eight in the evening, the mission has officially begun, the time limit is fifteen minutes, please enter the tunnel immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Han Du did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly entered the tunnel, he could only hope that the big black python would go out to forage at night and would not appear in the tunnel.

It was even darker, the air was not good, and the temperature was even lower, so Han Du immediately had goosebumps on his body, always worried that something would pounce on him in the depths of the darkness.

He knew that this should be his psychological suggestion, and kept trying to calm himself down, and then he stepped on the stagnant water in his long black rain boots, and found that the water was not above the instep, but it was not very deep, so he forced himself to walk boldly and quickly, and the light of the flashlight illuminated the stagnant water in the tunnel, reflecting patches of cold brilliance.

After a while, he took out the disposable lighting device, which was shaped like a small round ball that had been split, and by tearing off the sticker at the bottom, it could be firmly glued to the stone wall, very firmly.

He walked over to the uneven stone wall, glued the first disposable light device to the flatter part of it, and turned it on, a faint light that barely illuminated the tunnel, but it was sufficient.

For some reason, when Han Du touched the cold and uneven stone wall, his ears seemed to hear the sound of the engineering team working in full swing here, and there seemed to be many more workers around him immediately, some people were pushing carts, some people were swinging hammers, some people were holding shovels, and the scenes flashed quickly, just like playing an old movie.

Han Du's heart changed drastically, and he immediately took his hand away from the stone wall, and those voices and scenes that he didn't know whether they were true or false disappeared at once, and the dead silence returned to the tunnel.

Han Du was alone in the cold and deep darkness, looking around uneasily, and said secretly: "Could it be that the ghosts of the workers who died here back then are haunting?" ”

However, no one could give him an answer.

After watching for a while, nothing happened, and when Han Du reached out and touched the stone wall again, those strange sounds and pictures did not appear again.

He began to think that maybe he was too nervous, and the strange things just now were also his psychological suggestion.

In this way, Han Du continued to walk through the stagnant water in the deep tunnel, and every once in a while, he would put a lamp on the stone wall, and before he knew it, seven or eight had been pasted.

In the quiet tunnel, except for the sound of water he stepped on, no other movement was heard, and the dim lights set off his figure a little gloomy, and it was estimated that he would be half frightened to death when he saw it.

As far as he knew, the abandoned tunnel was two or three hundred meters long, and now he stopped in the stagnant water and took out his mobile phone to check the time, and found that five minutes had passed, and he estimated that he had only walked a third of the way through the tunnel.

So he hurried to speed up, after all, this mission was limited to fifteen minutes.

Han Du hurried away quickly while sticking to the lights, stepping on the sound of rushing water, but he didn't encounter any accidents, which greatly reduced his vigilance.

In the end, in order to save time, Han Du gave up putting a lighting device on the stone wall behind him, anyway, he had a flashlight in his hand, and this light was enough for him.

Han Du ran all the way, stepping on the stagnant water and moving forward, the sound of treading water echoed in the tunnel, and then he saw that there was no road ahead.

Here he saw remnants of the tunnels, such as rusty shovels and hammers leaning against the stone walls, an earth-moving cart, and scattered old overalls and helmets.

The sight made him happy, because it meant that he had reached the end of the tunnel without any problems, and he only needed to return to the cave within the allotted time to complete the task.

He looked at the time on his phone again and found that only nine minutes had passed, which meant that he still had six minutes to return to the hole, and there was no problem in running in six minutes for a distance of two or three hundred meters.

Han Du put away his phone and immediately planned to sprint towards the hole as a long-distance runner, but suddenly, his body turned upside down and he realized that he had stepped on something under his feet, which almost made him slip.

Confused, he felt that it was not a tool like a shovel left behind, so he reached into the water and groped for it.

When he touched it in the water, he took it out and looked at it with a flashlight, and found that it was a white hard thing that was small in front and large in the back.

At first he didn't know what it was, but after a few more looks, his face changed suddenly, and he threw the white, hard object out in a panic, for he only then realized that it was a white human arm bone.

Before Han Du could breathe a sigh, his eyes suddenly found a round white object on the surface of the water next to him against the stone wall, with two black holes facing him, like a pair of eyes.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Han Du suddenly realized that it was clearly a person's white skull.

He screamed, and was finally so frightened that he sat back in the icy water.

The cool water wet his pants, and before he could think about the origin of those human bones, he suddenly felt that his ass was sitting on something hard in the water.

He reached into the water again and pulled out the hard object, which turned out to be a white skull again.

This time, Han Du threw the skull out without reflex, and took a closer look with the courage to find that there were traces of explosion on it, and it should be that this head had suffered some kind of heavy blow.

He looked at the water elsewhere and found that there were actually many human bones exposed, including skulls, arm bones, thigh bones, and thoracic bones, but he had not noticed them before.

With so many bones, it means that several people have died here, Han Du thought about it briefly and thought that it should be the person who died here because of the excavation of the tunnel.

It's just that I don't know what happened back then, and no one came to collect the bodies for them, which is pitiful enough.

Han Du actually didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, but he was willing to believe that people had souls, so even in the face of so many dead people, he slowly got used to it.

But now he couldn't meditate on the bones, because he looked at his phone and saw that he had been delayed in the tunnel for another three minutes.

Now there are only three minutes left.

He immediately respectfully put down the skull in his hand, after all, they were once human beings, and they also sacrificed their lives for the development of the country, so they deserve good respect.

He folded his palms together and apologized to the seniors present: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for the interruption, the interruption!" ”

Then, he tried to run towards the mouth of the tunnel, and it took him three minutes to run until the mouth of the cave was stressful, but it was not impossible.

In the deep and quiet tunnel, Han Du stepped on the stagnant water and ran quickly towards the entrance of the cave, splashing from the side of his black rain boots, and the sound of snapping water was constantly heard.

After a short time, Han Du arrived at the location of the tunnel where he had a disposable light, and he could see the entrance in front of him more clearly, and the bright moonlight outside was clearly visible.

Han Du estimated that there was still more than a minute left, so he continued to speed up and run, and when he was more than twenty meters away from the entrance of the cave, he suddenly noticed two faint reflective spots on the water in front of him.

At first, Han Du was still a little puzzled, but after two or three seconds, he was suddenly startled and saw a fist-sized, pointed head raised from the water.

"Snake!"

Only then did he realize that the faint point of light was the reflection of a snake's pupils, and the snake in front of him who raised his head was completely black, and it was the big black python that was thicker than the mouth of the bowl.

I was really afraid of something, Han Du's biggest worry was to encounter this big black python, and now at the critical moment of the final sprint, it suddenly returned to the tunnel, making Han Du anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and there was a huge pressure in his heart.

The big black python stood up at this moment, opened its mouth, and made a posture of wanting to eat people, and then its thick body pounced like lightning, and Han Du had no defensive tools to deal with it, so he smashed the flashlight out with his hand.

The big black python bit the flashlight in its mouth.

However, it soon realized that the flashlight could not be eaten, and after throwing off the flashlight, it continued to pounce towards Han Du.

With a pop, Han Du, who didn't have time to retreat, was hit into the water by it, and then its body contracted rapidly, rolling Han Du up, and a bloody mouth kept trying to bite Han Du's neck.

Fortunately, Han Du desperately pinched the lower part of its snake head with both hands, so as not to be locked by its snake mouth.

The strength of the big black python was very strong, and it wrapped Han Du tighter and tighter, and Han Du couldn't breathe on his own.

What's even worse is that the system in his mind reminds at this moment: "Warning, warning, there are thirty seconds left until the end of the mission, and thirty seconds before the end of the mission!" Once the host is unable to complete the Novice Quest, the system will disappear from the host! ”

Han Du knew that there was such a price for the failure of the novice mission, and his heart became more and more anxious, because he didn't want to lose the 10,000 yuan expedition fund.

More importantly, this is an important opportunity for him to carry on his parents' legacy and rebuild the Blue Sky Expedition.

But now he may become the belly of the big black python at any time, and he can't even protect himself, and he has no clue how to get out of the predicament.

"Warning, there are twenty seconds left until the end of the mission, and twenty seconds left until the end of the mission! Once the host is unable to complete the Novice Quest, the system will disappear from the host! ”

The system's voice rang out again.

Han Du was now almost entangled in the big black python to the point that his bones were falling apart, and he could only be anxious when he heard this warning.

The big black python that was pinched by Han Du on the opposite side, seeing that Han Du didn't seem to be able to last long, his pupils seemed to exude excitement.

This meal will eat Han Du, it will not have to eat for a month, if it is not strung to death.

Just as time was passing like this, Han Du's afterglow suddenly noticed that something was revealing in the water next to him.

He was immediately overjoyed when he found out that it was a shovel left here by the previous construction team.

He seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and immediately fought back desperately, and under the powerful desire of the mind, he actually turned over and pressed the big black python under him.

Then, with one free hand, he quickly grabbed the shovel in the water next to him.

Although the shovel was rusty, it was still very hard inside, and Han Du slashed the tip of the shovel towards the head of the big snake.

With a pop, the snake head of the big black python was split alive by the shovel, and a splash of blood burst into the water.

Then there were a few more bangs, and Han Du continued to exert his strength, bursting out with tenacious strength, and he shoveled down the entire snake head with a shovel, and a large amount of blood fainted in the water.

The big black python's body could still move, but without a head, its strength had begun to loosen, and Han Du broke the black snake body that was entangled in him, panting and sweating coldly. Although he successfully killed the big black python, this experience of escaping death still made him feel scared for a while afterwards.

But before he could think about anything, the system's warning sound sounded again: "Warning warning, there are six seconds left before the end of the mission, let's make a final countdown!" ”

Han Du, who was covered in cold sweat, was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop anymore, and immediately stood up and ran towards the mouth of the tunnel, which was only more than twenty meters away.

The figure is like an arrow.

The sound of the system's countdown sounded: "Six! ”

"Five!"

"Four!"

At this moment, Han Du was actually exhausted, but he still burst out with an astonishing speed, and the black rain boots stepped through the stagnant water and stepped out a few meters away in a second.

"Three!"

"Two!"

When the system reported to the last second second, Han Du was still almost two meters away from the entrance of the cave, and he took a big step, almost pulling the egg, and then his whole body rushed towards the entrance of the cave that was close at hand.

"One!"

At the last moment, when the system made the last report, Han Du's body just threw himself out of the cave and landed on the ground outside.

Although he fell face down and fell badly, he finally got out of the hole at the last second.
