Chapter 36: The Underground Lake
"He's ×, there's an underground lake! But this ......," Boss Bi cried out as soon as he drilled through the hole. Isn't it normal for me to say in my heart that there is something to be surprised by the underground lake?
But it wasn't what I thought it was, and I stood up and looked at the strange sight in front of me. We were standing on the shore of a large black lake, so wide that we couldn't see the other side. In the distance, like the center of the lake, a hazy afterimage flickered, reflected in the dead silence of the lake. The darkness here is not ordinary, as if it is thick and cannot be dissolved.
Boss Bi patted me and asked, "Do you feel that we are getting farther and farther away from where we should go?" I nodded, and it was.
Wang Ziyue picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. Suddenly, the black spread out, revealing its original clarity, and then the black surged together like a tide, as if the water was full of black bugs. Before we could say anything or do anything, a big white creature burst out of the water, and before I could see what it was, it disappeared again with a stroke and a large deep ripple splashed on the calm water.
We jumped backwards in shock and slammed into the wall behind us, our hearts still pounding. After a long time, Boss Bi said, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”
I picked up my gun and looked at the lake vigilantly, even though a big guy had just jumped out and gone back. But almost for a few seconds on the surface of the water, the surface of the lake became bright and smooth again like black glass. The ripples disappeared at a ridiculously fast rate, frighteningly fast.
"Yuan Fang doesn't want to see it, what is this?"
"This can't be a water ghost, right?" Wang Ziyue asked.
Boss Bi carefully stayed away from the shore of the lake until he was clinging to the wall behind him. We all sat down, ready to rest, while Boss Bi sat on the ground and talked to us.
The story he told was very special, and it had to do with an ancient war. Especially so much so that this war is only recorded in books of legends.
It is said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a great rebellion broke out in the ancient country of the southern barbarian land. This ancient country is called the kingdom of Sei, and it is said that it worships a kind of evil dragon. The emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to send troops to attack, but here the river network was dense and there was water everywhere, so he could only send sailors to attack.
The Han Dynasty sailors and the soldiers of this country fought on a black lake, and at the beginning the Han people had the advantage, but when they were about to win a great victory, it suddenly rained heavily and the wind blew, as a result, most of the Han Dynasty soldiers were killed and wounded.
In this way, the war was stalemate, no one could completely defeat the other, and whoever launched an attack would have to suffer heavy casualties. At that time, the country was still in a semi-civilized state, and the methods were very cruel, and I don't know what methods were used at the time, but according to the above records, it was said that 200,000 people around the lake were brought with them, and they were arrested and sent to the lake. It is located at the junction of Han Chinese and ethnic minorities, so there are both Han and local people who are arrested.
The soldiers of the country cut the arteries of the victims' hands at night, and dripped not a drop of blood from the human body into the great lake. 200,000 people! Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. The whole lake turned red, and then it began to churn, as if there was some monster underneath.
At that time, the army of the Han Dynasty came to attack again, and a huge dragon with nine wings and three eyes came out of the water. All at once, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were devoured without a trace.
"Stop!" I held up a hand and said, "That's too false." ”
Boss Bi became anxious when he heard this, and said, "What's the matter, Brother Du, you can't talk nonsense!" What I'm talking about has something to do with our situation, and you may be able to find a way to get us through. ”
Wang Ziyue smiled, took the last compressed biscuit I handed her, and said while eating: "Your story has no name, no place name. There's nothing and you're suddenly speeding up in a lot of places, and you're afraid that there will be too many details and there will be disclosures. ”
It's true that professional lying requires training and mindfulness. It is impossible for Boss Bi to have experienced lying training, it may just lie too much, and practice makes perfect. The key to a lie is logical smoothness, as a simple example, we can think of a lie as an unacceptable hunting video, and the logical smoothness problem is the problem of dropped frames. We all stared at Boss Bi, and no one spoke.
After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to raise his hands and confess leniently: "Okay, okay, I made up a story, but there must be something wrong with this lake." One more question, how did you find out that I was making it up, this little moon girl? ”
"It's nothing, I studied psychology."
"Then Brother Bi, just say it directly," I said in my heart that a businessman like Boss Bi would not say something for no reason, and he must have his purpose in saying these things to us, "Brother Bi, do you already have any ideas?" ”
When Boss Bi heard this, his smile reminded me of his expression when we first met. I thought to myself, maybe this isn't a good thing either. "Brother Du, I don't know if you believe me or not, the story just now is actually one percent true." After saying that, he glanced at the two of us in a foolish way, and when he saw that we didn't react, he had to cough.
"The real place is blood."
"Blood?"
"Yes, blood." Boss Bi said, "In ancient legends, blood is a very magical introduction, almost a lot of witchcraft or everything needs blood, which is why ancient people's sacrifices, spells, tombs and other things look so cruel." If you try blood, it might work. ”
"It works, if there are some zombies and living dead things in it, then it will also work?" I asked.
"That's better than leaning on here, okay, it's okay, we still have a lot of explosives, if it doesn't work, blow him up."
I looked at Wang Ziyue and saw that she nodded, so I relaxed and walked to the lake. The lake was still so calm, there were no ripples at all. I pulled out the dagger from my waist, and as soon as I pulled it out, I caught a glimpse of Boss Bi suddenly shrinking into the wall over there, and I couldn't help but smile helplessly.
I put the blade in my hand and with a sudden, quick stroke, blood trickling down my hand into the lake. Suddenly, the lake exploded like a pot, and I quickly jumped back and retreated to the wall.
As if the water had been boiled, the surface of the lake was not smooth as a mirror, but violently stirred, and when I looked up, it was red everywhere, and the whole surface of the lake was bright red.
"What is this!" Several of us were stunned, "Brother Bi, I really guessed it, I will definitely believe your words next time." ”
Boss Bi scolded: "I don't know what he ×!" I won't say anything about you killing me in the future. ”
We stood there at a loss, and the surface of the lake gradually rippled, slowly revealing a white head, and then a body, the lower half of which was submerged in the water, and looked more than four meters tall, and was dressed in hard scale armor, which I suspect we would not be able to penetrate with a gun.
The guy roared and rushed at us. "Stunned what! Come on! I shouted. A few of us flashed, and the guy rushed to the wall and collided violently, and the wall collapsed entirely.
"Cold fireworks are all fighting!" I covered my face and shouted, in this case, the flashlight is no longer useful, and even has become a burden to me. After a while, a few clusters of light lit up around, illuminating the shore of the lake.
Suddenly, something sprang out of the water behind me and lay on top of me. I look back, he ×! It turned out to be a miniature version of a monster. It's not enough to attack us by yourself, but also bring the children out. I jerked out my pistol and shot him in the head. Its head was blown in front of my eyes, and I didn't think much of it, and I didn't have much defense, and the water from the guy sprayed me in the face, and I immediately vomited.
I thought to myself, if this thing has corpse poison, I won't die? After a while, I noticed that my skin hadn't changed much, so I stopped thinking about it.
