Chapter 43: Finding a way out
Reunite in the mist
The ancient tomb is broken like an exit
Sudden changes, sudden bites, sudden screams.
Everything came so suddenly, too unexpectedly.
A second ago, she was like a peerless beauty descending from heaven, but at this moment, she still transformed into a demon that seemed to come from hell.
I saw that its whole body was blue and covered with smooth scales, its head was large and its mouth was wide, its eyes were round, it had no eyelids like a fish, and there were large fins behind its ears, and it couldn't help but open and close every time it breathed, and a translucent liquid flowed out of it, and it looked extremely disgusting.
This guy has a very thin body, with towering breasts like a woman, hands and feet, and a wide fishtail on the bottom.
This guy is moving too fast, just a white ghost, floating in the thick fog, appearing and disappearing.
I saw that its form flashed and it was already in front of me.
However, although its blow was extremely fast, I had already taken precautions, and just as its big mouth full of inverted teeth was about to bite me, I slammed back, and then raised my elbow and hit the guy hard in the jaw, and then, I threw a punch into the guy's left eye.
I only heard a "poof" sound, this guy's left eye was firmly hit by me, I was happy in my heart, and laughed: "Hahaha! Didn't you want me to come over? Now here I am! Come on, come on, let grandpa I love you so much! ”
With that, I kicked it in the ribs, but the guy slipped like a fish and slipped off the outside of my leg with a twist.
The guy covered his eyes with his left hand, gasping in pain, and from time to time there was a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he was moaning in pain, and like he was cursing mercilessly.
I looked at this guy's current appearance, and thought about the tempting scene before, I couldn't help but smile with Shi Shiran: "Ask what is the situation in the world, and teach people to live and die!" Seems like you know this very well? Since you don't want to do it now, can I ask you where my friends let you go? ”
Although I kept talking, my eyes never left this guy's body.
It didn't move, and neither did I!
The two of us just looked at each other, like two peerless swordsmen, the enemy couldn't move, I didn't move!
We are all waiting for the opponent to make the mistake first, because at such a time, whoever moves first will expose the weakness, and once the weakness is exposed, then there is only one result, death!
So, it's waiting, I'm waiting!
Wait for the time to come.
Wait for the moment when the other person makes a mistake.
It didn't move, it just stood still, not even the slightest hint of movement, like a statue, motionless.
But at this moment, a stream of bright red blood came out of its chest.
Blood, bright red blood gushed out like a spring, and along with the blood, there was a knife, a knife that shone with cold light.
The guy was still waiting for the eye, but it was no longer looking at me, but at the knife in its chest.
There was a look of wonder in its eyes, and it couldn't believe where the knife had come from, how it had passed through its chest without a sound.
Its blood was still hot, and the knife was still cold, but the Grim Reaper mercilessly took away the last trace of life from it, so that it did not have time to continue thinking.
It will never get an answer.
Because, a dead merfolk will not get any answers.
However, I soon learned who the owner of the knife was. Zhang Chengyong, the knife was actually in the hands of this guy.
"Where the fuck are you going? Why did it disappear inexplicably? I scolded after seeing Zhang Chengyong.
But instead of answering my question, the guy put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture to me.
"Shh
After Zhang Chengyong pulled out the dagger on this guy's body, he first looked left and right, then carefully cut off the fins behind the mermaid's ears, and then dipped his index and middle fingers in the mucus secreted by the mermaid's gills on the ground, and slowly walked to my side and applied them to my eyes and nose.
"That's all right!" Zhang Chengyong lowered his voice and said.
"Are you alright? Nothing? I asked, puzzled.
"That way you won't be fooled by the illusions of these guys." Zhang Chengyong pointed to his eyes and nose and said.
"What are these guys?" I asked curiously.
"I heard Xiaomei say that these guys are close relatives of the fish sharks in the East China Sea before, and they seem to be called beautiful sharks. The gang secretes a strange scent in the air, and relies on the thing behind their ears to emit a low-frequency sound wave to hallucinate their prey. And the prey they target will see everything they desire, and they can't help but walk into their trap, and once you walk into them......" Zhang Chengyong didn't continue to speak, but just made a throat-slitting gesture at my neck.
This gesture is a throat-cutting ritual of the Paleo-Indian cannibals, meaning the call of death, and of course it also symbolizes death.
Of course, he didn't have to say anything, and I certainly knew what the consequences would be if I went near those guys.
"But ......" Zhang Chengyong frowned, but he didn't say anything.
"But what?" I asked curiously.
However, Xiaomei said that these guys were not a product of nature, but a kind of witchcraft from Miao Jiang. However, at that time, how could this extremely mysterious witchcraft spread to the wilderness of the Northeast thousands of miles away, and she didn't know? Zhang Chengyong muttered.
"What? Is this beauty shark from the magic of Miao Jiang's witchcraft? I asked, surprised.
"That's right!" Zhang Chengyong nodded and said.
"That's weird!" I frowned and said, "There is too much difference between these two!" How could it be ......"
"Alright, don't think about it so much! Even if they are 108,000 miles away, they have nothing to do with us! I think the two of us should go! Zhang Chengyong glanced at the beautiful shark on the ground and said.
"Where?" I asked.
"Going to a safe place, of course." After Zhang Chengyong finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward slowly.
"Wait!" Just as Zhang Chengyong turned around, I said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Chengyong asked in a low voice. "I said Tianyi, can we hurry up a little, those damn beauty sharks will come in a while, and the two of us may not be able to deal with it."
"The water is rising!" I didn't answer Zhang Chengyong's words, but squatted on the ground, stretched out my right hand and pressed it on the wet ground, "How long have we been here?" ”
"It's been almost four hours since you were unconscious." Zhang Chengyong glanced at the watch on his wrist and said.
"I didn't expect the water to rise so fast. No wonder it's foggy all of a sudden! I said.
"What? Isn't this fog related to those beautiful sharks? Zhang Chengyong wondered.
"Absolutely not!" I said it categorically.
"Why are you so sure?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came out of the thick fog.
"Who is it?" Hearing this voice, Zhang Chengyong and I asked in unison.
"Don't be nervous! It's us! The voice of the man who spoke was cold, as cold as ice and snow.
And her people are even colder, as cold as the ice and snow of the Arctic that will not melt for thousands of years.
It's just that at this time, I saw an inexplicable relief when I saw this person, and this person was ICE.
Not only ice, but also two people behind her, one is a tall and handsome man, and the other is Xiaomei.
"How did you guys get out?" Zhang Chengyong saw that they were not only not happy, but asked anxiously. "Didn't you say that you were waiting for me there? I said, I'll go back there as soon as I find Tianyi, and then everyone will figure out a way together, how did you get out well? ”
"We came out because there were no people there." Xiaomei said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Because all of a sudden, there are a lot of rats there! Thousands of rats can't be killed, and they can't be killed! They're going crazy and burrowing into where we're hiding! They seem to be on the run, crazy on the run. At first, we thought that some creature was chasing them, but after observing them for a long time, we didn't find any monsters chasing them. There was no choice but to get out of there. We came out to look for you, but we couldn't find our way, so we wandered around for a long time, and then ICE noticed that the fog was relatively light, so we came here. ”
"Thousands of rats on the run?" I asked, frowning.
"Yes!" Ice said coldly.
"Where are you hiding?" I looked at her and asked.
"Obviously, like you, everyone has fallen for the illusion of these beautiful sharks, but fortunately, a few of us have not been fooled. After discovering their plot, the few of us fled to a ruined stone temple, probably in that direction......," Ice said, gesturing to the east.
"Broken Stone Temple?" I wondered. "There should never be a temple in this kind of place, right? According to common sense, once there is a temple in the underworld, then all the feng shui will be forced? ”
"That's right! That's right! Where is indeed a temple, but the outside looks like a private house, but the inside is the same as the land temple in the mountains in the northeast of our northeast, Buddha statues, incense tables, and offering tables are readily available! Zhang Chengyong answered on the side.
"If that's the case, there's going to be something strange about that place! Looks like we've got it in that broken temple. I said.
"But, the rats in there, they ......," said the man next to him.
"They're not hiding from the hunt, they're hiding from the water!" I said.
"Hiding from the water?" Ice was surprised. "However, according to the previous conclusion given by our measuring instrument, it will take 48 hours before the water rises significantly!"
"Machines sometimes can't be trusted!" As I spoke, I pointed to the spring above, "Where did all this fog come from?" If I'm not mistaken, after the Tortoise died, the water here began to swell dramatically, and although it was not visible on the surface, the spring on the nine-story tower should be the center of the groundwater. The water below is much higher than the surface water source due to geothermal reasons, and when the two meet, the surface water source is rising at the same time, most of them are also evaporated into mist, and the beautiful shark that originally lived in the lake is estimated to be unable to stand the temperature inside and will come here to play with us to do hiding. ”
"I see! So what do we do now? Ice asked, looking at me.
This should not have been asked by her, she has always been a very assertive and aura woman, but at another time like this, she actually asked this question, which inevitably made me feel a slight sense of accomplishment and pride.
"We need to go back to the ruined temple first!" I straightened my chest a little and said, "Since those rats can run to where they go, there should be a way out." The animal instinct to survive must not be ignored, and at such a time, this instinct may have saved the lives of several of us. Also, if I'm not mistaken, groundwater is swelling every two hours, and each time the amount of water is larger and faster. Four hours have passed since it started, which means that the fog should be about to clear, and we must find our way before the next rise, so that maybe we will have a chance to live. After speaking, I looked at Zhang Chengyong, "Lao Zhang, do you still know the way?" ”
"Of course I do!" Zhang Chengyong said.
"That's good! You lead the way in front, and I'll break behind! Let's go! I said.
"Gotcha!" After Zhang Chengyong answered, he turned around and walked cautiously in the direction he came.
