Chapter 50: There is no escape

Although the movements of in the water are not slow, they are definitely not comparable to those on land. I know very well that as long as that kind of black insect touches his body, it is estimated that he will be more than lucky. Although and I are not all the way, and I have to guard against him playing tricks at any time, but here, I can't help but regard him as a companion, at least, I don't want him to die now.

On the line of life and death, rushed up from under the water and grabbed the hanging belt. With all my might, I almost pulled him straight from under the water to the boat.

As soon as the two arms of the reached the boat gang, I immediately started rowing. At this time, the two of us cooperated quite tacitly, turned over on the boat, and the boat happened to row. I paddled with a plank as if I had died, and in my hurry I looked back to see the thick black that had spread out of the water, and it was tailing our boat.

"Fast !!" ' face turned purple, but they didn't feel cold anymore, urging me to hurry up and row.

At this moment, I finally knew why the people who had brought the boat here had given up salvage, there were such bugs at the bottom of this pool.

It was as if I had an engine installed on my arm, which was unusually fast, but when I was still more than ten meters from the shore, the insects that had been following behind me got a piece of the boat. As soon as the bugs touched the boat, they immediately began to spread.

"Can't stay any longer! Offal! "immediately decided that if the bugs spread to the ship, neither of us would survive. Staying on the boat is a dead end, and only by going into the water and swimming desperately towards the shore can there be a glimmer of life.

and I jumped into the water one after the other, and when our lives were threatened, all the potential of the human body seemed to be stimulated, and I used the dog planing I learned to the extreme, and the speed was very fast.

Ten meters away, it didn't take long for the to climb ashore first, and I followed and climbed up. As soon as the two men had climbed ashore they ran away, and ran back to the burning fire in one go.

"This kind of ghost insect is generally afraid of fire." grabbed the broken pieces of wood and threw them into the fire, and the fire grew bigger.

We hid by the fire and watched for a while, but the bugs didn't follow.

The boat was abandoned more than ten meters from the shore and cannot be retrieved now. However, the water from the waterhole flows slowly towards the gap, and with enough time, the boat will drift to the shore near the gap.

"I kind of get it now." were shocked, put their coats by the fire to dry, glanced at me, and said, "I said, why did you push me into the water to fish for slates, my life is too worthless, just worth a biscuit?" ”

"I just don't think the water is as good as yours, if I knew there were such bugs in the water, I would have rowed around the water all the time?"

We still didn't dare to take it lightly, and when the coat was almost dried, the bugs were still nowhere to be seen, and we could be sure that they should not have come ashore.

But there is one thing, the few stone slabs left in the water will definitely not be able to be salvaged, even if he kills the, he will never venture into the water again.

After waiting for a long time, the boat drifted down the current to the side of the gap, and I rushed over, carefully removed the six stone slabs from the boat, and carried them back to the fire.

The water stains on the slate were quickly dried, and the characters and paintings engraved on it were unusually clear.

"Do you know this kind of character?" I asked first, I don't dare to say that the Zhangxiong sacrifice text is 100% dead text, I'm just afraid that will write down these characters, his memory is too good.

"I'm not omnipotent, how can I know everything, these characters are crooked, I really don't know." didn't seem to have any interest in these characters now, and discussed: "Can you give a cookie?" ”

"There are not many supplies, we really have to distribute them according to our needs, otherwise, we will all starve to death before we find a way out." I pulled my phone out of my underwear pocket, but it had been stuck here for so long that it was dead. The characters on the slate couldn't be filmed, so I had to memorize them here and try to decipher them at the same time.

After looking at it for a while, I felt that the person who carved the inscription on this stone slab carved very seriously, but he was not a professional craftsman, and the characters were a little crooked. There are so many characters, I need to recognize them one by one, and I haven't recognized a few characters yet, and my eyes are attracted by a painting on the slate.

At first, I didn't understand the painting, but when I looked closely, I found that there was a straight stone wall inside.

A man stood under the stone wall, looking up, not far from the top of his head, there was a large mass of things on the stone wall, and the strokes carved on the stone slab could not be so realistic, but I could still vaguely make out the big clumps of things, which seemed to be clumps of hair.

When I saw this scene, I immediately thought back to the past when I first came to Danmeng and fell into the rift. I remember very well that there were dried corpses hanging from the stone wall of the rift, and there were large and small holes in the stone wall behind the corpses, and the thing called the demon worm was drilled out of the corpse and the stone cave.

What is depicted in this painting is a demon bug?

I suddenly realized that the Zhangxiong Sacrifice Text is not an ordinary text, and if it were to be used, it might not be possible to accurately describe the concept of the Demon Worm. Therefore, the people who left these tablets recorded the information about the demon insects in the form of pictures.

There are two paintings on the stone slab, the first one is a person looking up at the demon insect on the stone wall, and the second painting is that this person is holding the demon insect in his hand and walking in the opposite direction of the stone wall.

There are only two paintings in total, and I don't want to see them anymore. There are still a few stone slabs left at the bottom of the pool, which can no longer be salvaged, and maybe those stone slabs also record relevant contents, I am unwilling, but helpless.

The paintings on the slate are more intuitive, but the characters need to be deciphered with time and effort. I couldn't make out a lot of characters, and the characters on the slate were incomplete, which caused the text to jump. It took me a lot of effort to decipher only a few bits and pieces of information.

These characters contain words such as "door", "car city", and "world". The lack of characters made the meaning of the text unpredictable, and I looked at it carefully several times and re-identified a few characters.

If I were to connect these fragmentary meanings according to my way of thinking, I would think that the characters on these stone tablets should mean that a person went to a city called a car plate and looked for a door.

This is only the superficial meaning of the characters, and if you dig a little deeper, there may be deeper meanings. I believe that since the person who left the slate engraved the characters and the paintings on the slate at the same time, it means that the meaning expressed by these characters is directly related to the painting. And those paintings, what they want to embody, are definitely demon worms.

A person looked up at the demon worm on the stone wall, and then walked away with the demon worm in his hand. I've been in contact with demon bugs, and I know that hairy demon bugs will mercilessly attack any living form that can be attacked, and I don't believe anyone would dare to hold a demon bug with their bare hands. Unless, this person has domesticated the demon bug, or found a way to restrain the demon bug.

If you boldly integrate this information, then you will get a result: a person, tamed the demon worms, took some demon worms to a city called Chepan, to find a gate.

When I thought of this, I turned my back to the and quietly opened the hem of my right leg. I had shaved off the fine hairs on my ankles once before, but after a few days, the hairs had reappeared, and they seemed to be thicker than before.

The changes in the ankles are completely due to the demon insects, so the information on the slate about the demon insects makes me pay more attention. I don't know what the man who tamed the demon worm did in Chepan City, but the name of Chepan City was immediately imprinted in my heart.

", I want to ask you something."

"What?"

I just wanted to ask the if he knew that there was an ancient city called Chepan, but before the words came out, I was alert again. are like this, as long as I ask, he will definitely remember the place of Chepan City. Therefore, I have to collect the information of Chepan City by myself.

"I want to ask you, you are very agile, is there a way to climb a ten-meter-high almost vertical and smooth drop section." I retracted the question I wanted to ask, and asked, "If you can climb up, then we still have a chance to escape." ”

"What do you think?" were annoyed by the biscuits and the fact that I pounced on him to go into the water to fish for slates, and she was very unhappy, and replied in a not very cooperative tone: "You see me with a suction cup on my hand?" ”

"I don't see it."

"Didn't you see me have a suction cup on my hand, and you asked me if I could climb up?"

"I'm going to have to think of another way to get out of here." I've actually thought about all the ways I can think of, and I've been delayed for some time because of the slate, and now I think about it again, I guess I still can't think of it.

I took the to the drop section to take a look, and then to the almost ten-meter-long gap where the pool flowed out. The gap is very long, but the height is only about 20 centimeters, and people will definitely not be able to get through it.

"You don't have to think about the drop section, there is no one on the top to cooperate, and you will definitely not be able to climb up." pointed to the twenty-centimeter-high crack and said, "Now I can only pray for the blessing of Second Master Guan, bless the stone layer around this crack to be thinner, and we will slowly smash the gap wide and drill out from here." ”

I sighed,' method is not a good way, the key is that even if the stone layer is thin, it can be widened to the extent that it is barely enough for a person to climb over, but what about after drilling through? What if the situation on the other side of the gap is worse than here?

It's just that we don't have any other choice.

chose a place, found stones from the shore, and took turns to smash them slowly, and after about four or five hours, we gave up.

It can be said that we can't find a way out, and even if we try hard, there is no result.

We didn't need to go into the waterhole again, so we dragged the last intact boat up and dismantled it for firewood. I didn't dare to think about the tragic consequences if the firewood was burned and everything was eaten.

Seriously, I don't want to starve to death, and if I have to, I'd rather die a happy death.

, like me before, can't find a way out and don't give up, going back and forth around the waterhole, although unwilling, but the reality will still stifle the last glimmer of hope in people's hearts. After turning for a long time, the were exhausted, and finally gave up, and sat down next to the fire weakly.

"I've heard that if a person is hungry, he eats anything." lowered their heads and asked me in a faintly sad tone: "Hey, if you run out of cookies and chocolate chips, will you beat me to death and eat my meat when you are about to starve to death?" ”
