Chapter Seventy-Seven: Departure
At the moment when the entire meteorite space was filled with water, we were already holding our breath in advance.
The next moment, we were swept up by the undercurrent to the location of the current channel and sucked into it more than two meters deep.
The bottom of the water finally calmed down.
We didn't have much oxygen stored in our bodies, and when we saw that there was no water coming in the corridor, the three of us couldn't wait to paddle the water and swim into the depths of the corridor.
But almost as soon as we paddled the water, I felt my ankles tighten, and something pulled me firmly, dragging me deep.
When I turned to look, I couldn't help but be shocked.
It turned out that it was the red-haired monster that was the first to be swept into by the water jet, its sharp claws digging deep into the flesh of my ankles.
This kind of pain is nothing to the pain that the little red snake burrowed into my body just now.
I struggled a few times, but I couldn't break free, but choked on a few mouthfuls of water.
At this time, time is life, and I don't know how long the corridor is filled with water? Until the oxygen in the body is exhausted, if we can't get out, we can only drown in it.
Although the red-haired monster was injured, it couldn't use its strength in the water, and it ran out before I could add my strength, so I had to let it drag itself down at the moment.
Fortunately, Lin Miao and Yan Xiaoying had not gone far at this time.
When they found out that I was in critical condition, they both turned back, Yan Xiaoying grabbed me, and Lin Miao pulled out her scimitar and slashed directly at the arm that the red-haired monster grabbed me.
Burst!
A dull sound sounded in the water.
The scimitar was sharp, and it cut off the arm of the red-haired monster in one fell swoop.
Then the two of them pulled me to paddle desperately and drill out along the long road.
After half a minute, I couldn't hold on, and in a daze, I saw strange red-haired monsters appear in the Yongdao Meteorite, and they stared at us coldly through the transparent wall.
The next moment, I was completely unconscious.
……
I don't know how long I fell asleep, and I had a terrible dream.
I dreamed that I appeared in a vast and boundless pitch-black space, where there was no sun, moon and stars, nothing but an endless black land.
I kept running and running in the black land.
I don't know how long it took, but a red light suddenly appeared in the boundless darkness, red like blood, staining the darkness into the Shura Hell.
Only then did I find that the black earth was full of white bones, and the red light slowly floated over, and countless palm-sized, blood-red lanterns appeared in front of me.
These things are the ghost lanterns I saw before, the ghost lanterns floated, and suddenly a hideous and terrifying grimace appeared on them, and then countless ghost lanterns combined into a blood-red long snake.
The long snake looked like the little red snake of the nematode king that had burrowed into my body before, and it opened its bloody mouth and devoured me.
……
The next moment, I woke up from a nightmare.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a dilapidated wooden bed, looking at the furnishings around the room, which was the forest house where Lin Miao lived before.
"Coming back?"
I shook my head and felt heavy, as if I had been filled with lead.
Struggling to sit up, the whole wooden bed creaked, and he lifted his clothes and looked down at his chest.
The jade pendant that Jingmei gave me is still there, but there are more red convex and raised veins on the chest under the jade pendant......
"It's not a dream!"
It turned out that the little red snake really got into my body.
I frowned, wishing that everything I encountered when I went to the Burial Lake was my own dream, and when I woke up, nothing had happened.
But apparently, this is unrealistic.
Although the red veins on his chest were motionless, the pain was very real.
I remember swimming out of the tunnel and falling unconscious, and when I was unconscious, I saw many red-haired monsters appear in the meteorite wall around the corridor.
I don't know how I got out of trouble and came back here?
"Xiao Ying...... Lin Miao......"
I opened my mouth and shouted twice, a dull pain in my chest as I spoke.
After waiting for a while, the entire forest house was quiet, no one responded, and I don't know where Xiao Ying and Lin Miao went?
A bonfire burned in the room, and it was pitch black outside the window.
Obviously, it's night time.
I don't know how long it has been since I was in a coma in the underground burial lake?
I shrugged and moved my nose and smelled the smell of meat, which wafted in from outside the hall.
With my stomach rumbling, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, climbed out of bed, and grabbed the clothes hanging by the side and put them on.
Before, his clothes were already in tatters, and he was naked at this time, except for a pair of boxer shorts, and he didn't know who peeled his clothes when he was unconscious?
The clothes hanging were uniform black, and they looked the same as the clothes Lin Miao was wearing.
As I got dressed and walked out of my room, I saw a duck roasting on a shelf in the center of the hall.
The charcoal fire was covered with a thick layer of fire ashes, almost extinguished, and Yan Xiaoying and Lin Miao were not here.
Seeing the golden roast duck on the shelf, I walked over quickly, not caring about the boiling and hot, and devouring and biting.
Hungry! I'm so hungry! It felt like I hadn't eaten in years.
A roast duck was eaten by me in a few minutes, and I reached out to wipe the oil from my mouth, still feeling unsatisfied.
At this moment, the wooden ladder outside the house suddenly sounded footsteps.
The footsteps were heavy and rapid.
Soon, I saw a bald woman in a clump of clothes slam open the wooden door and enter, followed by a man.
The two people who came in were Yan Xiaoying and Lin Miao.
I saw the two of them blushing and panting, coupled with Yan Xiaoying's disheveled appearance, the whole person was immediately dumbfounded.
"This ...... You guys...... ...... in the middle of the night Where did it go? ”
I rubbed my eyes, I couldn't believe what I saw, Yan Xiaoying was actually with Lin Miao...... These two people are developing so fast.
I just passed out in a coma, and the two of them actually went out to fight in the jungle and fight?
I really can't imagine that Yan Xiaoying has a weird and pungent personality, Lin Miao is dull and indifferent, and these two people didn't look at each other from the beginning.
But in front of me......
"What are you thinking?"
After all, Yan Xiaoying's brain was spinning fast, and seeing my stunned appearance, she glared at me fiercely, and said angrily: "We just went to Tianlong Miao Village for a trip, those people are not small, we were discovered." ”
"Okay, what are you doing in Tianlong Village to provoke the Miao people?" I couldn't help but wonder when I heard this.
"For the sake of the lark."
Yan Xiaoying sat down beside me, panting, and took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to me: "The little red snake is highly poisonous, and after it penetrates into your body, the reason why you feel severe pain is all caused by its poison. Lin Miao said, Miao Village's Lark Elixir can relieve the pain in your body, give! ”
I took the porcelain vase from Yan Xiaoying's hand, I felt like I had taken over a mountain, looked at Yan Xiaoying, and then looked at Lin Miao, who was standing far away, and asked, "You guys are going...... Is Tianlong Village just to help me steal this lark pill? ”
"Why else do you think we're going?"
Yan Xiaoying glanced at me, obviously resentful of my suspicious expression just now, and snorted: "Lin Miao said, the little red snake is in your body, once it attacks, it will be extremely painful, this kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people, and it will even hurt to death directly......"
"Taking a pill of lark pill during a seizure can relieve the pain, I have tried it before." At this time, Lin Miao spoke at the right time.
"You ......"
Look at their ruined and embarrassed faces.
My nose was sore, and I opened my arms and hugged Yan Xiaoying, who was closest to me, into my arms, and said movingly: "Thank you, I am so happy." ”
Lin Miao said it right, the pain was indeed unbearable, I tried it once, and I didn't want to try it a second time at all.
"What are you doing......
Yan Xiaoying pushed me away, and said with a disgusted face: "The smell is bad, and it smells bad." ”
I laughed, and then asked, "You're not in danger, are you?" ”
"It's okay, but Lin Miao stole the Gu King they raised before, and now we are stealing the Bailing Pill again, which can be regarded as completely them off."
Yan Xiaoying frowned and said, "I'm afraid we can't stay in this place for a long time, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”
"They're almost there!"
As soon as Lin Miao's words fell, I heard a hissing sound coming from outside the house, and two green snakes with thick arms swam in through the open hall door.
Standing up and looking at it, I couldn't help but feel a tingling in my scalp.
I saw the wooden ladder outside the house, the handrail and the wooden railing, there were swimming snake shadows everywhere, densely packed and innumerable.
"The Miao people have the art of repelling snakes, and now that the snakes are besieging us here, it is estimated that they will chase us soon."
"This place can't be stayed!" Yan Xiaoying said, looking towards Lin Miao.
Lin Miao nodded, and took the lead in walking into the room where I was unconscious before, and we followed him in.
"Before the snakes were completely surrounded, crawl out of the window." He pointed to the dark window and said to us.
"What about you?"
I asked worriedly.
"I'm going to go with you, of course."
As he spoke, he suddenly overturned the burning basin on the side, and there was pine resin in the plate, and the wooded houses were almost all made of wooden planks.
The burning pine resin fell on the wooden floor and burst into flames.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaoying and I hurriedly climbed out of the window, outside the window was a big tree, and landed along the big tree, Lin Miao took a burning torch, turned out of the house, and jumped down directly.
The snakes were everywhere, and we didn't dare to stay and left in a hurry.
Ten minutes later, we stood on a small dirt slope and looked in the direction of the forest house. I saw that the fire was soaring into the sky, and faintly, there were shouts coming out.
"Shall you live in my Heavenly Mountain? Anyway, you're on your own wherever you go. I turned my head to look at Lin Miao, who was silent.
Lin Miao nodded and didn't say anything more.
We felt the night and rushed for half a day, until dawn broke and found that there were no snakes chasing behind us, so we dared to stop and rest.
Next, under the leadership of Lin Miao, who has rich experience in Cong and Lin life, we stumbled along the way, and finally walked out of the 100,000-mile mountain three days later.
During this period, we used to visit the Tujia settlement, but we did not stay.
The Tujia hunting team suffered a tragic situation, and it was more or less related to us, and we did not dare to face them. These people may seem hospitable, but if they knew the bad news of their loved ones, who knows what would they do?
On the way, Yan Xiaoying told me that beyond the meteorite was indeed the burial lake, and after they came out with me in a coma, they arrived at the withered willow forest......
