Escape the dungeon into the cold pool

The cold pool rose to the danger of death

There is a small stone staircase underneath the stone bed, and it is here that I stand to restore the stone bed to its original position.

There was a slide-like passage underneath the stone steps, and since there was no light at all, I felt a moment of flickering, and then I slid down into the depths of the endless darkness.

The passage is long, full of rubble and unevenness, giving the impression that the excavation was in a hurry.

The slope of this cave is very steep, and the angle of the cross-section is at least about 70 degrees.

I slid down and down all the way, and every now and then the rubble crumbled into my face, and the suffocating breath of decay filled my nastrils, and my whole nerves tensed to the brink of collapse.

It took me more than a minute to get to the bottom, and the bottom of the cave turned out to be a huge pool.

I just felt that my body was empty, and after ten counts, there was a "poof" sound, and my whole body fell into this bottomless cold pool.

The pool water is cold and biting, cold like the water melted by the ice and snow of the Arctic for thousands of years.

I took a deep breath and tried to swim from the icy water to the nearby reef, but I didn't expect that the water didn't seem to have any buoyancy, and the more I struggled and rolled in the water, the more I sank.

At this moment, a faint green light came up from the bottom of the lake.

The light was very light and faint, as if it were a faint glow from the tail of a firefly, as if it would be washed away by the lake at any time.

However, instead of being swept away, it moved closer and closer to me.

I looked at the ghostly green light, and an indescribable chill rose in my heart, and that chill was even colder than the cold water of the lake.

The green light seemed to move very slowly, but somehow it was already in front of my eyes in the blink of an eye.

And then I realized that the faint green light was actually emitted from a woman, a stunning beauty.

I saw that this woman was naked, the muscles on her body were plump and firm, and her skin was like the most crystal clear jasper emitting that alluring light.

She looked at me and smiled, that smile was like the most beautiful camellia in spring, both elegant and full of seductive charm, so that every man who saw it could not forget.

She slowly reached out and took my hand, and a gentle and cold feeling instantly spread throughout my body, and it was very comfortable, like suddenly entering an air-conditioned house in the hottest summer.

I slowly held her hand, she gently hugged me into her arms, that comfortable and comfortable feeling made me almost forget all my troubles at this moment, I don't know how, at this moment I just want to hold the woman in front of me tightly, I don't want to care about anything else.

However, at this moment, my other hand was suddenly grabbed, and then, with a sharp lift of that hand, I was dragged to the surface of the water.

Although the strength of the hand that grabbed me was not very great, it seemed to have a strange magic, dragging my whole person back to reality from the green and alluring gentleness.

I turned around and looked up, only to see that the person holding my hand was actually ice.

At this time, the woman who was as beautiful as a fairy at my feet had somehow turned into a rotten and withered skeleton, its eyes were hollow and dark and full of strange aura, and a few strands of black hair fluttered between its forehead, which looked as if it had been dead for many years.

But it still maintained the posture of wanting to hug me just now, and it still seemed to maintain that kind of flattering look in its eyes.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but shiver, and a mouthful of water almost choked into my nose.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that there was more than this terrifying skeleton in this lake.

In this bottomless pool, there are tens of thousands of such skeletons.

From time to time, they emitted a pale green light that symbolized death, illuminating the bottom of this dark and strange pool very clearly.

They floated in the pool as if they were in a swarm, swimming in the direction of me and Ice in a very strange manner.

Their rotten, dry jaws, opening and closing in the pool, seem to mock our weakness, threaten inexplicable intruders, and force us to stay with them.

Ice didn't look back, she just kept swimming upwards. The hand she held on to me never let go, and it felt like if I would be taken to hell by those dry bones as soon as she let go.

Ice swam as fast as a fish, and it didn't take long for Ice to swim to a nearby reef, and after the two of us struggled to climb up, she collapsed on the reef with all her might.

"What the fuck is this? Why are there so many dead bodies? I gasped and cursed.

After a while, Ice breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "This was once a dungeon where the Chimiao people were held. Later, King Xuanwen was furious because of the theft of the golden horn, and ordered countless holes to be opened in the dungeon, and poison gas and Gu worms were thrown into it, and finally the water of the Kuranda Dark River was brought here to drown those who were not poisoned. Back then, the Chimiao prisoners of war here could be said to have been tortured, no wonder they would become powerful ghosts after death, and their grievances were so heavy! ”

"How do you know?" I asked, looking at Ice in surprise.

"When I fell down with Li Yan'er just now, I saw it on a stone wall at the bottom of the pool!" Ice said slowly, while emptying the water in her ears.

"There is a mural at the bottom of the pool?" I asked, surprised. "Who carved that?"

"I don't know who carved it!" "I guess the person who carved the mural is already dead," Ice said. The mural was crudely carved and looked like a child's stick figure, but it clearly recorded the whole story, and of course, ......"

Ice pointed above us as she spoke, and looked in the direction of her finger, and I realized that there was a dome above us, and there were countless large and small holes in this dome, and many of those holes had begun to seep into the hole where we were.

"This ...... What's going on? I asked, surprised.

"Although those people have already been poisoned and drowned, the mechanism set up by King Xuanwen has not been changed, which means ......" Ice suddenly paused when she said this, because at this moment, a deafening sound came from a position about two meters above her head.

The sound of water is like the sound of water galloping thousands of horses.

The water came so fast that Ice and I had just heard the roaring sound of the water, and a column of water like a black dragon erupted from above our heads, and then, to the left, right, and in front of us, a huge torrent erupted, stirring up a thousand waves in an instant.

The reef where Ice and I were located happened to be within the range of one of the jets, and the two of us only felt a tightness in our chests, as if we had been hit head-on by a truck moving at full speed, and the whole person flew out of the water for several meters and fell heavily into the water.

The water kept pouring into my throat and nose, and I almost couldn't breathe.

At this time, a chill rose from the bottom of my heart, I had experienced life and death countless times, but this was perhaps the closest to death.

But what scared me was not the pool of water, but the plummeting temperature in the water.

I only felt that the skin on my body was cold at the beginning and wanted to be cut by a knife, but later it was like it was burning with a fire.

I have heard it said a long time ago that before a person is about to freeze to death, he does not feel cold, but feels the unbearable heat in the world, I did not believe it at first, but now I have to admit that what this person says is simply the truth.

As the burning sensation became more and more intense, my hands and feet began to disobey the call, and slowly the things in front of me began to blur, and the green light like ghostly fire began to dim little by little, and finally, I didn't know anything.

I don't know how long it took, but I woke up suddenly, but I found that I was not in the dark pool, but in a ruined temple.

Part of the roof of the ruined temple had long since collapsed, revealing the starry sky outside, and the starlight looked like a broken diamond sprinkled in the sky, which was a beautiful feeling.

There is no Buddha statue in the broken temple, only an offering table and a broken couplet, on which is crookedly written: Abundant food and clothing are blessed by the eight gods, and the wind and rain are smooth and peaceful.

In front of the offering table there was a fire, not strong, but enough to keep warm, and behind the fire sat a man, a woman whom I did not know.

This woman is not good-looking, with a long goose egg face, small eyes, and very dark skin, but somehow, there seems to be the most primitive wild charm in her body, and no matter who sees her, she will not think this person is not good-looking.

There was also a man lying beside her, and that person was none other than Ice.

Ice was asleep at this point, her face was ruddy, and she obviously had some fever.

Seeing that ICE was not in the right state, I immediately struggled to sit up, but suddenly I found myself trapped on a wooden plank.

Seeing that I was moving, the woman raised her eyes and looked at me, and said coldly, "Are you awake?" ”

"Who are you? Why are you tying me up? I asked out loud.

"Now is not the time for you to ask!" The woman said lightly, "Now is the time for me to ask you!" ”

She stood up and walked slowly to me, pulled out a dagger from her boots, looked at me and said coldly: "I have a few words to ask you now, you can say it or not, if you say I will consider not torturing you, and if you don't say it, it will be easier." ”

At this point, the woman took off my shoes and slowly lifted my feet.

"What do you want?" I asked as I watched her tremble.

"It's easy! If you don't, I'll cut off a piece of the flesh on the bottom of your foot. The woman actually smiled when she said this, "Don't worry, my technique is very good, and usually nine knives will only see bones, which means that you have nine chances to choose not to say it." Okay, now I'm going to ask the first question, who are you? Why is it in that place? ”
