Chapter 164: The City at the Bottom of the Lake
Where is the city at the bottom of the lake?
Mystery about what the iron chest hides
"What the hell is going on?" The woman named Sister Yue asked in surprise as she looked at all this in front of her. "Didn't you just go down with a dozen people? How come there is no one left? ”
"Sister Yue, I really don't know!" The kid stepped back as he spoke, staring at the lake without moving, and said, "Could it be that those unjust souls came up to ask for their lives?" No! It must be yes, it must be them! It must be ......"
The kid said as if he had suddenly gone crazy, and turned around and was about to run into the forest behind him, but he had just run for less than two steps when the woman named Sister Yue grabbed him by the neck and carried his whole person back.
The woman named Sister Yue didn't say a word, and after he gave the little man a dozen big slaps in the face, he asked coldly word by word: "Can you listen to what I said now?" ”
I looked at the woman in front of me, she didn't say much, but she was always very powerful, she was not tall, but she gave people a majesty that they did not dare to despise.
Although she is a woman, she is a very smart woman, she knows when and what to do, and when and what to say.
She slowly let go of the little man, and the little man was slapped back to his senses by the woman.
"Moon...... Sister Yue! I...... I ......," the kid said as he glared at the woman named Sister Yue. At this time, his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and a trace of blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"What are you?" The woman named Sister Yue looked at the little man and said coldly, "Where are the things you fished out below?" ”
"It was right here just now! But...... I don't know why it suddenly disappeared like this! The little man said in a trembling voice.
"What did you salvage from underwater?" As I spoke, I walked to the blood-soaked lake and crouched down in front of a patch of silt.
I saw a deep, deep trail in the place, "I think I know where that thing you found has gone!" ”
"Where did it go?" Sister Yue walked over and asked with a frown.
"It doesn't know who dragged it back into the water!" I reached out and touched the dirt on the shore of the lake, and I felt that for some reason there was a very slippery feeling in the dirt. I pinched a small pinch of the dirt, put it to my nose and smelled it, and immediately asked about the smell of fish.
Seeing that I frowned, Sister Nayue also squatted down and looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”
"Nothing special to discover!" After saying a few words with a wry smile, I turned to look at the little man and asked, "Can you tell me what exactly you found at the bottom of this lake?" ”
"What we fished up from under the water was...... It's ......," said the little man, "It's a ......."
Just as the little man was saying this, suddenly something burst up from the water, it was pitch black, slippery, handless and legless, and looked like a giant loach.
The thing came out of the water, grabbed the little man in its mouth, and then, with a twist, slipped back into the lake.
At this time, apart from the countless splashes on the surface of the lake, there was only the half-body that remained on the shore.
Blood, still flowing, came out of the remaining half of his body.
The half of the body under him was still walking, walking towards Sister Nayue, as if she didn't believe what was happening in front of her when she was dying.
One-step, two-step, three-step...... Eight steps, nine steps......
When I got to the eleventh step, the remaining half of my body finally collapsed.
At the same time, someone finally shouted. I heard a tall, thin man shouting, "What's going on? What's that guy? Could it be that the two blind people were all eaten by that thing? ”
"Can you shut your mouth for me!" The woman named Sister Yue turned her head to look at the thin and tall man and said sharply: "You are saying more, I will throw you into this lake now, do you believe it or not?" ”
After the man heard Sister Yue's words, he immediately closed his mouth.
But though his mouth was closed, his man still trembled like a leaf in the wind.
The woman named Sister Yue looked at him coldly, and slowly moved her gaze to the others, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "Not only him, but you too!" Whoever is talking more nonsense, I immediately threw him into this lake, do you hear? ”
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
"Got it, boss!"
The woman's voice was as cold as the sharpest knife, and so was her person, like a female leopard who could tear the prey in front of her to pieces at any time.
"What a fucking crap! That's the courage to go down to the ground and fight upside down, phew! What a fucking shame! The woman said to herself as she slowly walked to the shore of the lake and crouched down.
"What? These are all the new ones you found? I looked at Sister Nayue and said with a wry smile.
"It's really hard to find a reliable person now, and you don't have the fucking guts to get out of the way!" Sister Nayue scolded.
"That's it! Don't talk about them yet! I said and looked back at the lake, and said slowly, "What did you just fish out of here?" ”
"It's a box!" Sister Nayue also looked at the dark lake and said slowly.
"Chests? What box? I looked at Sister Nayue and said.
"A black iron box!" Sister Nayue said word by word.
"What's in the box?" I looked at Sister Nayue and asked.
"Why do you want to know what's in there?" Sister Yue turned her head to look at me with her cold eyes, and asked word by word, "Are you just curious?" ”
"Naturally, it's not out of curiosity!" As I spoke, I slowly took out an ancient book from the close-fitting leather case under my jacket, handed it to the woman named Sister Yue, and continued, "I know you're looking for the Golden City, maybe I can help you!" ”
"What is this?" Sister Nayue took the ancient secret scroll and turned two pages, and after finding that most of it was some words that she couldn't understand, she handed the secret scroll back to me.
"This is an ancient secret scroll that records the time of entering the Golden City!" I took the ancient scroll and carefully put it back into the waterproof leather bag, and then said slowly, "I think the place we are going to is the same place, so I ......"
I didn't continue, but looked back at the pale young people behind Sister Nayue.
Sister Nayue obviously understood what I meant, she frowned and thought for a long time before she let out a long sigh, as if she had made a lot of determination at this moment.
I only heard her say slowly: "There is a person in that box." ”
"What? Alone? I looked at Sister Nayue and asked in surprise.
"Hmmm! You heard it right, the box was indeed filled with a person! Sister Nayue nodded slowly and said.
"What's that? Why would it fit into such an iron box? I asked, surprised.
"That's a woman! A woman who has betrayed someone else! Sister Nayue looked at me and said slowly: "Since you are also looking for the Golden City, you must have heard of the name Ghost Squire!" ”
"You mean that the woman in that box is the same guard who betrayed the ghost squire?" I looked at Sister Yue and asked word by word.
"Hmmm! That's right, it's her! Sister Yue nodded and asked.
"But why are you looking for her?" I looked at Sister Yue and asked suspiciously.
"Because, before she died, she secretly took something very important, and if you want to find this golden city, you must first get such a thing!" Sister Na Yue stared at the surface of the lake without moving, and slowly continued: "If you can't find that thing, even if you are an immortal, don't even think about finding the Golden City." ”
"Why haven't I heard about this?" I looked at Sister Yue and asked suspiciously.
"It's normal that you don't know, because there aren't many people who don't know about it!" Sister Yue said with a wry smile.
"But how do you know?" I looked at her and asked.
"You don't have to worry about that! Naturally, I have my own way! Sister Nayue said slowly.
"And what did she take?" I asked, looking at the dark lake.
"I don't know!" Sister Nayue said word by word.
"Do you want to say, or don't you know?" I looked at her and asked.
Sister Nayue didn't answer my words, she just glanced at me, and then turned her gaze to the dark lake, and there seemed to be an extremely complex emotion in her eyes, like resentment, and as if sadness, as if at this moment, her whole person had fallen into a trend of memory.
Looking at her like this, I didn't ask any more questions, but sighed and slowly turned my gaze to the dark lake.
"Well, since you don't want to say I won't ask!" I smiled wryly and said, "Whatever she took back then, we'd better get that box up now." ”
"How do you get it up?" Sister Nayue looked at me and said.
"I haven't figured out how to do it yet, but we'll have to get into the water first, and we'll at least know where they found the box." As I said this, I turned my head to look at the people behind me.
When they saw me looking at them, several of them took a few steps back, as if a demon from hell was looking at them.
Looking at the panicked eyes of those guys, I didn't think it was funny, I turned my head to look at Sister Nayue and asked softly, "Do you know where those people found that box?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to have been found in a city under the water!" Sister Nayue said.
"In the city? There's a city under the water! I said with a frown. It seems that the specific situation really has to go into the water to find out. ”
"But what about that monster in the water just now?" Sister Nayue looked at me and asked.
"It may be guarding the box, and if we want to take the box, we guess we'll have to find something to lure it away!" I said slowly.
