It's cold, damp, and dark, and you can't see your fingers.

Almost sub-zero temperatures.

It was cold, it was so cold, we shrunk together, the muscles in our bodies were shivering from the cold, and even our muscles and bones were frozen and painful.

There's no way to go on like this, we have to find a way to get out of here.

Otherwise, if you stay for a few more hours, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up again.

It was quiet all around, except for the occasional sound of water.

The sound of the water seemed to be coming from something swimming in the water, presumably a fish or some other aquatic creature, after all, this underground lake does not know how big it is.

In the end, Yan Xiaoying and I struggled to get up from the ground, and helped the heavy old fat up from the left and right.

The latter was so badly injured that he could not walk at all, and he did not even have the strength to stand firmly.

Supporting Lao Fei, Yan Xiaoying and I groped for directions and left.

After walking more than ten meters, I was a little unbearable, panting and scolding the old fat: "Why are you so heavy?" Usually I tell you not to eat so much, but to eat so much......"

"What do you say......

Although Lao Fei was injured and angry, he was not to be outdone when he heard the words, and scolded back: "Lao Tzu didn't live until now with this body of fat...... If you go up and be stabbed twice by that old boy...... I'm afraid I'll report to the Yama Hall early......"

"Okay, you two don't say a word, when are you still talking now?"

"Tianyan, you too, Lao Fei is injured, let him order."

"yes...... I don't know how to respect the injured at all...... Or will our Xiaoying hurt people......"

"Shut your foul mouth, or I'll throw you into the water to feed the fish."

"I see you're in good spirits, you don't need the two of us to help you at all, why don't you go by yourself?"

"Don't...... Lao Tzu was wrong......"

"Wait, I feel like I've stepped on water, are we going back to where we are? It is said that people walk in a straight line in the dark, but they are actually walking in circles, which is the truth of ghosts hitting the wall. ”

"Not like that!"

Yan Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "I haven't walked far, it's impossible to go back to the same place, I'm afraid it's ......."

"You two wait here, I'll take a look."

Yan Xiaoying couldn't help but say and strode away.

As soon as she left, the gravity of Lao Fei's whole person pressed on me, and my legs were weak and couldn't support it, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Oh, it's painful to die...... old fat screamed.

"Xiaoying, be careful!"

Ignoring the old fat's wail, I reminded loudly.

Yan Xiaoying didn't answer, and after a few minutes, footsteps suddenly sounded beside her, and along with the footsteps, Yan Xiaoying's voice sounded: "Sure enough, just now I walked around the water's edge and came back here, this place is a shallow beach in the water, and there is water on all sides!" ”

"What? You say we're stuck in the middle of the water now? ”

"Not bad!"

"What then?"

"I don't know."

We're all freezing so cold that we don't want to go into the water anymore, not to mention that it's pitch black, and even if we do, we can't tell where to go.

Just when we were at our end, there was another sound of water in the darkness.

"Light ...... Light...... Look, there's light in the water......" Old Fat suddenly spoke, trembling and excited.

We looked at the sound of the water, and sure enough, not far away, there was a light source moving underwater.

The light source was like a firefly, flickering and flickering, very psychedelic.

But how could there be fireflies underneath the water?

Although the light source is faint, it is like a bright light in this endless darkness.

By the faint light, I saw huge rhizomes like snake bodies hanging on the surface of the surrounding water, and those rhizomes were intertwined with each other, some in the water, some across the head, and there were a lot of them.

As the light source flickered on and off, it was not very real, and it looked like a terrifying snake in a trance.

It seems that Yan Xiaoying's guess was good before, we are really in the abyss under the big tree now, otherwise why would there be so many rhizomes of the big tree?

It's just that I didn't expect that there was such a hollow hole under the big tree.

"Lying ...... Trough...... That's the fish...... A big fish with white flowers...... "Lao Fei didn't know where he got the strength at this time, so he sat up from the ground all of a sudden, looked at the glowing water, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It was hard to believe that after being so seriously injured and in such a harsh environment, he still had the strength.

This may be the power of the legendary foodie.

I looked closely, and sure enough, there was a palm-sized white fish in the glowing place, and the fish looked quite strange, with no fish scales covering its body, and a glowing tentacle in front of its head, like a glow stick.

The light source we saw earlier was its pair of antennae.

The skin of the fish is translucent, and the jaw has long whiskers, which is very similar to the dragon beard fish that is said to prolong life after eating, but it is not quite like it when you look closely.

The antennae glow, and the surface of the body is like human skin without scales, and this is the first time I have seen such a strange fish.

Grunt!

Looking, watching, I unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I can't help it, I haven't eaten for two days and two nights.

The fish in front of me looks fit and plump, and if you catch it, you will definitely have a full meal.

Seeing the strange fish wandering leisurely in the water, shuttling among the rhizomes, disappearing and disappearing, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I jumped into the water to catch it.

"Don't worry, go into the water to catch it, I'm afraid it will scare it away, and it will be even more difficult to catch it when the time comes, and when it swims closer, I have my own way to catch it......"

After Yan Xiaoying finished speaking, she involuntarily reached out and wiped her small mouth, obviously she was also hungry enough at the moment.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, the glowing dragonbeard fish will be called the dragonbeard fish for the time being.

It swam farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from our sight, and the whole time, it did not come close to the shallow where we were.

As the dragonbeard disappeared and the light source was gone, the surroundings were once again plunged into endless darkness.

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating from hunger? What you just saw isn't true? I muttered to myself.

"Don't worry, this underground lake is so big, there must be more than one such fish, there is the first one, there must be a second, or even a third......" Yan Xiaoying comforted me and Lao Fei, and said in a low voice.

After waiting for a few minutes, as she said, a light source appeared in the other direction.

Look closely, it turned out to be two glowing dragon's whiskers, two dragon's whiskers, one big and one small, roaming in the water like a husband and wife, next to each other from time to time, and the three of us could see that the eyes of the three of us were green.

Finally, we finally waited for them to swim closer to the shallow where we were.

About three meters apart, Yan Xiaoying, who had been observing intently, suddenly reached out and took out a knife from the tool bag under her ribs.

The next moment, she shook her arm violently, and the cold light flickered, and the knife in her hand shot out.

"Almost as soon as Xiao Ying made a move, I couldn't wait to jump into the water!"

When I swam near, I found a dragon's beard fish with a sharp knife in its body, belly facing up, and another dragon's beard fish fled in fright.

I was overjoyed, and swam back to the shallows with a palm-sized dragon's beard fish, and went ashore, and the whole person laughed with joy: "Finally...... Finally there was something to eat, and oh my God, we were so happy. ”

Yan Xiaoying took the dragon's beard fish from me, and the two of them came to Lao Fei.

Lao Fei looked at the snow-white dragon's beard fish in my hand, his eyes were tearful, and he was so excited that he cried: "Woo...... ...... Finally there is something to eat......"

This guy didn't cry when he was seriously injured, but he didn't expect to cry when he saw a fish.

People who have never been hungry naturally do not know what it is like to be hungry.

At this moment, the two tentacles of the dragonbeard fish are still shining, and its two tentacles are transparent, but you can see that there is a light blue liquid inside, which is really like a glow stick, and I don't know what the principle is?

Yan Xiaoying pulled out the knife on the fish's body, and blood flowed out of its wound.

"This fish is rare, I don't know if it's poisonous, I'm resistant to poison, let me come first."

I said, and I couldn't wait to open my mouth.

Yan Xiaoying didn't hesitate and handed the dragon beard fish to me.

I took two mouthfuls of fish blood, sweet and delicious, only a faint fishy smell, and behind the lower and lower abdomen, a warm air flow swept through the whole body, and the cold of the body was dispelled by most of it.

It's amazing.

The blood of the fish is limited, I don't dare to drink more, and I handed the dragon beard fish to the old fat.

The old fat drank a few mouthfuls of fish blood and shouted happiness.

In the end, Yan Xiaoying also drank two mouthfuls of fish blood, and then she used a sharp knife to cut the dragon's beard fish into slices and divided them between me and Lao Fei.

The fish doesn't have too many bones, and it's very chewy and delicious.

I never thought that eating raw fish would be so delicious, and although I have suffered a lot of hunger, I have also tasted a lot of good things.

But I now feel that none of the most delicious things I've ever eaten have ever tasted this fish.

The old fat swallowed the dates, ate several pieces of fish in a row, and called himself happy, even the red carp that he had spent a lot of effort to catch in the reservoir was not so delicious.

In this way, a dragon's whisker fish that was the size of a palm and weighed seven or eight catties was left with only one fish bone and fish head in a moment.

Among them, Lao Fei and I ate the most, and Yan Xiaoying ate much less than us, mainly because she kept cutting fish fillets with a knife and didn't have time at all......

A dragon's whisker fish went down, although it didn't fill its stomach, but it wasn't so hungry.

And this fish is a great tonic, after eating it, not only did it recover a lot of strength, but even the chill on its body drove away most of it.

The three of them sat on the icy sand, refreshed.

We stared at the cold and gloomy water, hoping to catch another dragon's beard fish to satisfy our hunger, but after waiting for most of the hour, we didn't see the dragon's beard fish swimming over, but heard the sound of crawling overhead.

It was like a creature crawling on the roots of those trees overhead, and although the tentacles of the dragonbeard fish could glow, the light source was too faint to see what creatures were on it.

Vaguely, I saw snake-like rhizomes......

It's really an endless road, after eating the dragon's beard, even the sluggish old fat has recovered a lot.

Seeing that there was no dragon's beard fish swimming, the three of them got together and discussed how to find Lin Miao and leave this place.

According to Li Guodong, Lin Miao fought with Bai Xiao before and was forced to jump into the abyss.

In addition, the witch of the Gu clan also jumped down.

I wonder what happened to the two of them now?

It stands to reason that there is no chance of survival by jumping from above, but there is a bottomless underground lake below, and there may be a glimmer of life......

As we discussed, there was a sudden noise in the shallows behind us, as if something had been washed up on the beach.

The three of them took the glowing tentacles of the dragon's whiskers and looked at the shallows where the sound was heard.

I saw a black coffin appear there.

The black coffin rests on the beach, swinging with the ebb and flow of the water......
