Chapter 20: Drifting the Ocean
Seeing that nothing really happened, Wogua finally exhaled heavily, and was about to scold Xu Weihang angrily, but there was an earth-shattering "click" sound behind him, as if countless wooden planks were instantly broken by a huge force, and the painting boat was arched and cracked by the giant python that jumped out of the mercury pool from the middle, and it was also accompanied by a speed of tens of meters per second swimming towards several people.
"Hasty hastily - not good, not good!"
"Run, run!!!"
The two boats were broken by force in front of several people's eyes, not afraid of being fake, this is a lesson from the past, the oars in the hands of Wogua danced fast like a hair dryer, and the four of them worked together, in a hurry, but it was self-defeating, without the previous slow work and careful work, the hull circled in the middle of the vortex, just not forward. Li Luant looked at the dryness, and when he looked back, under the silver water surface, there seemed to be something moving forward, accompanied by a huge bulge, and slowly his body increased, as if it was a fritter in a fritter.
Li Luant threw the wood pulp away, and said to Wogua and Xu Weihang, "You two rowed!" ”
took out the pistol, Zhuo Ziyan had already set up a sniper rifle and was ready for battle, and sure enough, the coordination between Wogua and Xu Weihang was relatively good, and all of a sudden, the small boat that was originally in a circle in place pedaled forward for more than ten meters, but even if the speed was fast, it was a little overstretched after wasting so much time, and it was a matter of time before it was caught up.
Looking at the traces of the silver giant snake, Li Green Ant took the lead, and more than a dozen bullets hit it heavily, but he heard a "roar", as if it hurt a little, and suddenly the giant python that was advancing suddenly rose from the ground and looked at a boatload of people angrily.
It's almost to the shore, it's almost to the shore!
Wogua and Xu Weihang wood pulp silver waves, escape is important, suddenly appeared python saw this kind of ant actually hurt himself with a weapon, although it can't be seen, but the angry expression can not be hidden, roared again and again, even the surrounding stone chamber trembled several times, frightened Wogua hand slipped, almost threw the wood pulp far away.
Zhuo Ziyan's sniper rifle is like an electric motor, and the "da-da" hit it, the python's abdomen is obviously not as hard as the scale armor on its back, and the sunken parts begin to hurt, but the strange flow out is not blood, but a kind of entanglement like a smaller worm wriggling, which makes the participants feel excited.
"Grass, this thing has mutated too!"
Wogua complained and increased the horsepower, and it was obvious that Li Green Ant and Zhuo Ziyan's actions provoked the giant python, and the giant python roared angrily, and the tail that had been biting in its mouth suddenly took out and shook it fiercely at the boat.
"Bang", the stormy waves, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.
Countless mercury pools of water were like white waves, smashing the entire ship, only to hear a "clang", the four of them were blown up by the waves of water rushed into the air, like dumplings like "plopping" into the water.
Xu Weihang wailed, like a cuckoo in estrus in spring, and a wail contained seven different scales, which made people's hearts exhausted.
Zhuo Ziyan carried a sniper rifle on his back, fished out the nearest Li Green Ant, found the largest wooden board, rested Li Green Ant on the wooden board, grabbed the wooden board with one hand, and shot with one hand, and the gun was fatal. The human body can float on the mercury, Li Green Ant keeps swimming in the mercury pool with his legs, and the Wogua over there also dragged Xu Weihang, who was half-dead and refused to let go, several people were originally close to the shore, so that Li Green Ant and Zhuo Ziyan were the first group to go to the shore, and the Wogua pulled a huge wooden plank, and when he was about to go up, suddenly another wave hit, turning the Wogua and Zhuo Ziyan into dizziness, and they were farther away from the shore.
"Wogua!"
Li Luant exclaimed, and hurriedly took out a pistol to shoot at the giant snake, now that they are on the shore, there is another gate not far away, they are not afraid of this giant snake, but Wogua and Xu Weihang are still in the water, and they will still be affected, so they can't relax.
However, Wogua was hugged by Xu Weihang as if he was a koala and didn't let go, and he couldn't spare his hand to pull out the gun, what was even more annoying was that the snake saw that the other two had left, so he aimed all his firepower at Wogua, and the two were pushed farther and farther, seeing that they were about to reach the center, at this time, Zhuo Ziyan suddenly knelt on the ground, supported the point with his knees, put the sniper rifle on his knees, and took out a volley of bullets, "Dadada-da-"
Several boxes of bullets were all empty, and the giant python was originally going to run to the nest melon, but it stumbled and fell down by the huge impact, and the whole person turned over in the mercury pool.
The surface of the water returned to calm.
"Dead?"
Wogua looked at the endless water, a little puzzled, Xu Weihang also relaxed, and climbed to the plank smoothly, Wogua also wanted to go up, but after thinking about his strength, maybe the plank would roll over after going up, so he pushed Xu Weihang all the way to the other side, not long after leaving, behind him, a giant python bathed in mercury all over his body, like a giant python wearing armor slowly rose, angry like a crazy hyena.
"Wogua, run!!"
Wogua pushed Xu Weihang, his legs were already kicking very fast, and he couldn't help crying, "This handsome is already very fast." ”
The giant python behind him rushed towards the two of them like an arrow from the string, Zhuo Ziyan just knocked the giant python into the water, it should have just caused it internal injuries, and it didn't kill it at all, and now it is injured again, and the nest is dangerous!
Seeing that the giant snake was getting faster and faster, at this moment, Xu Weihang had a malicious intention, and used the Luoyang shovel to hit the nest melon that was pushing him forward at full speed, and the nest melon let go of the plank in panic, and the black python behind him was fleeting, but Xu Weihang had already been pushed to the shore because of the aftermath of the waves, and hurried to the shore.
Everyone present was shocked when they saw this scene, looking at Xu Weihang, Li Luant sharply, "What are you doing?!" ”
Xu Weihang patted the mercury residue on his body, "People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, you just saw it, if I don't do that, we will die together, die one or die together, I think everyone will make the right choice." ”
Li Luant shouted angrily, "But just now, it was clear that both of you didn't have to die, and besides, it was the nest melon that saved you, if it wasn't for him, you might have been swallowed by the giant python a long time ago!" ”
"So the scholar decided to thank him, of course, as long as the scholar is gone."
Looking at Xu Weihang's understatement, Li Luant was filled with indignation: they took such a big risk to save him, and almost died for him several times, and now he only thinks about his own life when he is completely likely to be saved, but he doesn't want to let Wogua live, this is not for the sake of life, this Xu Weihang is deliberate!
Zhuo Ziyan didn't wrinkle his eyebrows from beginning to end, and looked at Li Luant, who was still angry over there, "Hey, do you still want to save the gold ingot?" ”
Li Luant turned his head and no longer bothered Xu Weihang, Xu Weihang couldn't help but "cut", glanced at the current situation of the gold ingot, and saw that these two people refused to unite with him, and glanced at the stone gate, which was the way out, but he opened the door straight from the stone gate and escaped in one go.
"Let him go, he's cowardly and afraid, if it's really like this, no one can keep him, let's think about how to save him first."
In the mercury pool, the gold ingots are not alone, they have just been slapped away by Xu Weihang with a shovel, and they are pushed far away, although they also hugged a piece of wood in a hurry, but in the end it is also far from the shore.
Seeing the situation, Li Luant took off his backpack, and was about to rush out with the plank that floated the two of them to the shore before, but Zhuo Ziyan stopped him, "You go now is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car, and if you don't get it right, you will die." ”
"So there's a chance I won't die, right?"
Li Luant looked back at Zhuo Ziyan with a smile, his eyes were starry and full of complex emotions, Zhuo Ziyan looked stunned, and silently put down the hand that stopped him.
"To be honest, I don't believe any of the words written on that note, because if you really want me to die, there are too many opportunities, but you are saving my life along the way, Zhuo Ziyan, so, will you still help me?"
The water surface was turbulent, and the gas mask of Wogua did not know where it had fallen, and his mind was dizzy, and he only felt depressed in his chest, as if he was pressed by a stone, and gradually, even if the giant python could not see where his position was, he could only keep groping and hitting on the water, and he could not find himself, and he was about to lose his grip on the plank and slowly float away.
Zhuo Ziyan determined, "Of course I will help you, have you forgotten?" I'm on your side. ”
No matter what the task I receive, no matter what my identity and position is, no matter what my identity and position is, Li Luant, I am on your side.
"Good."
Li Luant was about to go down, Zhuo Ziyan suddenly grabbed him and handed him a gas mask, Li Luant was surprised, "This-"
"This is when Xu Weihang left just now, I took the opportunity to come from him, the gold ingot is almost unconscious now, when you approach the gold ingot, the first thing is to put this gas mask on his face, I shot on the shore, making a sound to attract the giant python to swim in the opposite direction, but the giant python is not a vegetarian, the time is very short, you have to hurry!"
Li Luant nodded heavily, took the gas mask, held the plank, and swam to the side of the gourd very quickly, the gourd was like a duckweed on the sea, there was no fixed place, when the consciousness gradually blurred, only heard a few violent gunshots in the ear, and felt as if the earth-shattering momentum that had just been close to him disappeared, and not far away, there was a fool who went ashore to get out of danger, actually jumped down from the shore, and swam to his side with the plank.
"Whoa—"
Li Luant made a splash, put a gas mask on Wogua's head, quickly tied Wogua's body to the wooden board with a rope, and desperately pushed Wogua to swim forward. Wogua only felt as if his body was not his own, but he was pushed forward, and Li Luant was beside him with an anxious face.
"Corporal Shell Lang, this boss thinks you usually look quite smart, why are you so stupid?"
Li Luant grinned, "So as the saying goes, it's not bad, if a soldier instigates one, he will instigate a nest, a nest of melons, I want you to live." ”
The gold ingot's eyes were confused, his mind gradually fell into a drowsy, almost to himself, mechanically, "Corporal Shell Lang, if you have a choice, this handsome man also wants you to live." ”
If the choices are all the same, why would there be why?
When the giant python finally hit the west and the west in countless sounds, after the Ming Xiu plank road was darkly Chen Cang, he realized the fact that he was being played, and he was crazy and confused, but at this time, Li Green Ant had already pushed the nest melon to the shore, Zhuo Ziyan picked up the nest melon, but the tonnage of the nest melon was too heavy, and the two of them worked together to barely erect the nest melon.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"
The giant python seemed to be an angry black dragon, constantly fluttering on the water, quickly locating the position of several people, and biting towards a few people with their bloody mouths open, but Li Green Ant had already taken a step faster, and had already opened the stone door, and drilled in, and the stone door was closed, but the giant snake did not come out of the mercury pool in the end, which made a few people feel at ease.
Put down the half-dead Wogua, the air here is good, there is no more mercury, remove the gas mask on the face of the Wogua, the Wogua gasps violently, and suddenly does not move.
"Wogua? Nest melon?! ”
Zhuo Ziyan looked at Li Luant, who was concerned about the chaos, grabbed the pulse of the gold ingots and listened to it, but then the snoring sound of the nest melon sounded.
It turned out that he was not dead, but asleep.
Li Luant wiped the sweat on his head, gasped for breath in prostration, and lay outside the door, Zhuo Ziyan put the gun beside him, and looked at Li Luant curiously, "How do you know that the giant python will definitely not come out of the mercury pool?" ”
Li Luant was surprised: "Did I say that?" ”
"No, but you have always been a cautious person, how could you only stop with the gold ingots for this short hundred meters? This is not a safe distance at all, in case the giant python really breaks free from the mercury pool, the danger will also follow, so I guess you should have known early on that the giant python could not leave the mercury pool at all, so you dared to stop here so confidently and boldly. ”
Li Luant said with a little tiredness, "I do guess so, but I'm not sure, but you can find this, it's really amazing." "Find a comfortable position to lie down" because it is not an ordinary snake, it should belong to one of the Miao Jiang poisonous Gu, called 'Long-legged Gu'. ”
Long-legged Gu, as the name suggests, is a snake Gu worm, this type of Gu worm needs to use snakes as an introduction, the snake is raised as a Gu worm, and use Miao Jiang Qi method to make it grow strong, different from ordinary beasts, it is rumored that there is a peak of long-legged Gu, there is a mill size, Li Green Ant didn't believe it before, but what I see today, I know it.
"When you shot the snake's abdomen, the python's abdomen fell not blood, but a worm that seemed to be entangled in silk threads, right, that is the most favorable proof, this python looks like a snake, in fact, the inside has long been replaced by countless long-legged Gu worms derived from dense worms, this skin bag is their body, this person deliberately chose such an environment, one is to devour all the past tomb robbers, and the other is - rumors are constantly developing, Some long-legged Gu need a special environment to survive, maybe the mercury pool we see is just a hotbed for this long-legged Gu, and it is similar to a petri dish-like existence. ”
Since it is a petri dish-like existence, without a nutrient solution, it is like a flower that has been plucked from the air, and there is no soil and roots, and any Gu worm will die quickly, so it is a matter of course that they dare not get out of the mercury pool and chase it out.
However, there are really creatures in the world that can survive in an environment like mercury, although it is a Gu worm, presumably the person who developed this Gu worm must have gone through thousands of experiments, otherwise it would not be possible to create such a huge thing, and it can be called a killer who can destroy all the visitors who set foot in this mercury pool.
Li Luant lowered his head and pondered: Again, this mercury pool is the only way to pass through the bridge, but the three boats are still tied there, if it weren't for the fast hands of the melon this time, the remaining two ships should also be safe and sound, and their group of people walked, is it really not exactly the same route as their own line?
After being tired for so long, Li Luant took the initiative to propose a rest, Zhuo Ziyan's nerves have been in a tense state, and it is naturally good to be able to rest now, the two of them pushed and let go, or Li Luant was the first to rest, Wogua had already slept deeply, and it was expected that he would not be able to shout for the time being, so he would first wronged Zhuo Ziyan for a while.
Time passed minute by minute, although Li Luant was sleeping, but more in the fog to revisit the old things, in the nightmare, it was all about the terrible experience of the past few days, and in the end, although he slept for a few hours, he was even more sleepy, so he had to force himself to wake up. Zhuo Ziyan saw him wake up, nodded to him and began to sleep with his eyes closed.
At this time, Wogua was still sleeping.
Sorted out the baggage, looked at the watch has walked around, a few people have stayed here for twelve hours, can no longer be delayed, wogua muttered wake, seems to have finally slept enough, heard everything that happened later, gritted his teeth and greeted Xu Weihang and his ancestors for eighteen generations, a few people ate some dry food and continued on the road.
In front of it is a gloomy dome tomb brick corridor, and the cobwebs are rampant in the corridor, which makes people can't help but think of those brides again, and goosebumps are stacked when they see it. The tomb was only broken at first, and there were some iron fences half-suspended in the air at the back, as if it was a complete iron gate, but it was broken by some huge force, and it was broken in two.
After the mercury sea incident just now, now Wogua is full of hope that he will not encounter a place with water again, even if he experiences thousands of corpses again, he feels that it is a thousand times better than being there.
"Click-"
What was that?
The three people who were walking forward paused, looked at each other, the sound just now came from the front, and where the wolf's eye flashlight shone, the wall was bare, nothing, and walked a little more in fear, but saw that there were many more things on the wall, there were huge iron chains inlaid with inlays, and the hollowed-out windows on the wall, but then it seemed to be artificially blocked, just when several people were still wondering what these iron chains were for, the first ancient corpse appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The light of the wolf's eye flashlight "squeezed" twice, and it seemed to be a little unstable, which reminded Li Luant of the scene when he first went to the tomb.
Li Luant squatted down to inquire about the situation of this corpse, ready to find some clues, Wogua looked east and west, Zhuo Ziyan said, "What are you doing?" ”
"What about Xu Weihang? Wasn't that kid the first to come in? Why haven't we seen him yet? ”
