Chapter 69: The Snake (3)
The sudden tremors, though slight, seemed to come from all directions, and people could clearly feel that something huge was moving very close to us.
I didn't feel good, so I didn't care about it anymore, and I riveted enough energy to start crawling forward desperately.
"Old slippery head, don't let Lao Tzu catch up with you, catch up with you, Lao Tzu picks your skin!"
Tang Yi's roar came from behind, and it didn't sound like a contrived sound, but the ultimate warning from a truly furious extreme.
Tang Yi was already strong and had a loud voice, and coupled with the impact of echoes in the tunnel, I felt panicked when I heard his roar.
The old slippery head didn't know if he was also frightened, and he used to rely on me to drag from time to time, and then I felt that the leather rope between the two of us had not been tightened, and the old man hit my heels. You can imagine how fast this old guy climbed.
At this point, I completely trusted the judgment of the old slippery head, we climbed fast, but the pursuit of the fairy meat seemed to be faster, and I could clearly sense that it had been circling above our heads.
I couldn't figure it out, as the old slippery head said, this hole was indeed screw-shaped, and it felt forward, but it was just an illusion caused by the lack of reference underground. But if that's the case, the more the three of them go forward, won't they go down the next day?
Tang Yi started from the first throat, and the spearhead was pointed at the old slippery head, and at this moment, the female and male relatives of the eighteenth generation of the old slippery ancestor, but they all suffered.
At this point, for some reason, his voice suddenly cut off.
My heart sank, I didn't dare to look back at the situation behind me all the way, could it be that the fairy meat chased after him and wrapped him in?
The old slippery man who followed me seemed to know what I was thinking, and shouted hoarsely:
"He's fine! Fairy meat is really catching up! Crawl! Hurry up and climb! ”
His voice was extremely eager, but I was still worried about Tang Yi, so I slowed down a little. It was at this time that I suddenly noticed that there was a branch road on the side wall of the cave by the light of the flashlight.
I couldn't help but stagnate, and I raised the flashlight to look inside. I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person squatting in the depths of the cave!
How could there be people in this realm where immortal flesh is active?
With this hesitation, the old slippery head was put on my ass.
"Oh my lord, why are you stopping? If we don't hurry up, we'll all die! ”
I hurriedly said, "There is a fork in the road!" ”
The old slippery head said: "Except for moving forward, it is a dead end!" Come on! ”
At this point, I glanced backwards and realized how far the crisis was from us.
The cave behind Tang Yi had been completely blocked by immortal meat.
Several human hands stretched out from the fairy flesh that seemed to be corroded, and the distance almost caught his hind feet and neck.
Maybe it was really what the old slippery head said, the fairy meat was chasing after the yang qi of the person, Tang Yi had a premonition of the crisis, and completely closed his breath, which made the speed of the fairy meat's pursuit slow down.
I realized that I had done a foolish move, and I hurriedly set things right, ignoring the situation in the fork in the road, and just crawling forward along the main passage as hard as I could.
I don't know if it was the huge crisis that made my nerves become extra sensitive, and I hurriedly climbed more than 20 meters, and I began to feel that the passage I had climbed was no longer downward, but began to slope upward.
After confirming this, I finally understood that there were two parallel screw-to-ground holes. Before we knew it, we might have reached the bottom of the first hole, and through the passage connected to the bottom, we reached another screw passage.
I was not glad by this discovery, not to mention how physically demanding it is to crawl in a confined space, and breathing alone is the biggest obstacle.
I don't know how long this cave has been in the dust, and it is a miracle that there is air for people to breathe. However, after this rapid march, the three of them had already exhausted the air that was not of high quality and limited in size. At this point, I could only rely on the electric rod in my two hands and my uncle's dart to tie the ground, and crawl forward with my strength.
The more difficult the time, the more unexpected it is.
I was crawling forward with all my might, but at this time, there was another fork in the road ahead.
This time, unlike before, the two forks in the road are diagonally separated from the front, one on the left and the other on the right, and they look almost identical on the surface.
I shouldn't have hesitated at this time, but I really couldn't make a choice at once.
The old slippery head followed me, and also saw this scene, and after a little hesitation, he said: "There is vitality on the right, go to the right!" Fast! ”
I was about to crawl to the right as he said, but somehow, a strange sensation suddenly occurred in my head. It seemed like a voice was saying in my head, "Go left!" The left is the way to live! ”
I didn't have time to think about the source of the 'sound', but instinctively leaned more towards cues from within the brain. At that moment, despite the old slippery head's stopping, he struggled to crawl into the passage on the left.
The old slippery head wanted to hold me, but now the air was about to run out, and his last shout made him completely lose his strength. He was already seriously injured, and this exhaustion was almost incapacitated.
I felt that the leather rope between the two of them was tight, and my heart sank all the way to the bottom.
I barely dragged the old slippery head up for a while, and finally reached a relatively gentle place.
I vaguely saw the exit, and a deep despair followed.
Maybe my initial judgment was not wrong, this one exit is under the cupboard. We crawled this far because there were two parallel screws turning at the bottom.
Except for the fork where I saw someone inside halfway, the only difference between the two screw turns is that there are two forks in the tunnel here.
I trusted my judgment and chose the left side, but I never expected that the cave structure on both sides would be so similar.
The exit is here, but it's the same as the passage we came down from, straight up and straight down!
In my current state, it's impossible to climb up, let alone drag my old slippery head.
The old slippery head also saw the situation clearly in a trance, and gasped: "Master, we're done......"
I looked up with a flashlight, and I wanted to cry without tears, did I really choose the wrong one? Perhaps, according to the old slippery head, it is right to take the fork in the road on the right. Now he couldn't turn back now, because when he looked back, the cave behind Tang Yi had been blocked by the immortal meat chasing him.
Tang Yi's face had turned purple eggplant because of his breathlessness, but he barely supported it and made a cutting gesture at me.
I understood what he meant, he wanted me to cut the leather rope, so that maybe I would be alone and have a chance to escape and ascend to heaven.
But if I really do that, it is not a pity for the old slippery head to die, Tang Yi is buried here, how can I live in peace......
I shook my head at Tang Yi, and I didn't have to say anything about living and dying together, I just secretly wondered in my heart, how could I make that damn immortal meat suffer some before I died, so that at least I could balance my heart.
Tang Yi seemed to have the same idea as me, and when he saw that I refused to cut the rope, he also turned his head to look behind.
Because of his breath-holding, there has been a distance between the fairy meat and him. I don't know if it's because of this, the strange hands stretched out of the immortal flesh before have all retracted.
However, when Tang Yi turned his head, a face suddenly appeared in the immortal flesh that had already become smooth on the surface.
This face was wrapped in fairy flesh like green nose, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and then stretched out two more hands, opening his teeth and dancing his claws, as if he wanted to pounce on Tang Yi.
I was shocked to see, but in despair, a very strange, even absurd, idea suddenly appeared.
I turned on my flashlight again and looked into the cave upwards for a while, and the thought grew stronger.
"Leave it alone, come to me!"
I suppressed my voice, my hands clenched, and I pulled the old slippery head to my side.
Tang Yi didn't completely lose his mind, and when he heard that my voice was different, he crawled over without hesitation.
I used my last strength to stand up, but I bent down as much as I could, and put my arms on the back of my head, "Brother Tang, have you ever played with snakes?" Whether you can finally clear the customs can only rely on gambling! ”
Tang Yi was also holding his breath to the limit at this time, and inhaled sharply, "You...... What do you want to say......"
He made a sound, and the living flesh swooped forward. The humanoid monster in the living flesh poked out most of it. Looking at the figure, it looks like a woman.
The old slippery head was already dying, but at this time, as if returning to the light, he suddenly opened his half-closed left eye and scolded:
"The surname is Tang, I will join your ancestor!"
Tang Yi was originally breathless, and when he scolded Leng Buding, his thick eyebrows immediately erected, "Old dog, I'll strangle you first......"
He was furious, and I saw two flames flash from his shoulders, and a fiery red light burst from the top of his head, along with his exuberant hair.
I never thought that his yang fire would be so strong, obviously at the end of the crossbow, he was angered, and he could even break through the cover of ghost blood.
Tang Yi really hated the old slippery head in his heart, and when he said cruelly, he really stretched out his hand and pinched his neck.
The old slippery head shrank suddenly, "Master, let's go!" ”
Before the voice fell, the humanoid monster in the living flesh had already rushed forward, and its outstretched hand was almost about to grab Tang Yi's back placket.
However, at the same moment, I only heard a dull sound of "bang" from above. In the next second, a huge suction force like a tornado sucked the three of them straight into the hole above!
