Chapter 236: White Shadow
I was really determined to die, I packed my gear, took a big breath and dived underwater, the dark hole was getting closer and closer to me, and I found that my heart was beating faster again, and I really couldn't resist the fear.
It was something that could not be avoided, and I was at the edge of the cave again, and I was about to enter and stop again, and it was really like a big mouth that was going to swallow me in my belly.
I was obviously mentally prepared, but I retreated again, I was a little irritable, a little annoyed, when I was unaccompanied, I was really still that coward.
I floated up with a wave of my hands and feet, and as soon as I got out of the water, I couldn't help but slap myself, thinking about living and dying together, but I still became a deserter.
I floated in confusion for a long time, until my heartbeat gradually stabilized and I dived in again, I had already experienced the feeling of dying, I really didn't know what to hesitate, I grabbed the hole and quickly got in, and my mind was empty for a moment, and I couldn't give myself time to regret it.
In the end, the seaweed, like the last time, fluttered in my face with my movements, I didn't pay attention to them, it only took a dozen seconds to reach the familiar fork in the road, I saw it hidden in the seaweed, pitch black.
I suddenly became cautious, my heart was beating very fast, I slowed down and stared straight at it, I really wanted to quit, I didn't expect to be so useless.
But I gritted my teeth and stepped forward, the entrance of the cave was still as small as the last time I saw it, I turned on the flashlight, and shone inward from the edge of the cave, dense seaweed fluttering, and there was still nothing.
I smashed the hole last time, it was useless, this time I took out the short sword, stabbed it hard, I thought the rock would bleed, but it turned out to be unexpected, it turned out to be a real rock, very hard and hard, this time not only did not pierce it, but also shook my hand numb.
I suddenly felt a sense of despair, and I stabbed the short sword to the other side, but it was still hard, and I stabbed it around, but none of the stabs moved.
I'm a little confused, isn't this labyrinth alive, and the bleeding from the rocks I've seen before is fake? Thinking about the original scene, I can't tell the difference between falsehood and reality.
I suddenly felt a little ridiculous, I had been out there for so long, but I found that I still couldn't get in, and I was even expecting the guy who had taken Nineteen to take the initiative, and I would definitely not resist at all.
It seemed to have penetrated my mind, but it refused to appear, and I stabbed at the hole in a rage, but to no avail, but this tossing made me hot and hot, and the oxygen was insufficient, and the feeling of suffocation gradually increased.
I still didn't use the oxygen tank, I retreated like the first time, and as soon as I surfaced, I noticed something unusual, and under the flashlight, I could clearly see a dark red skull seven or eight meters away from me on the water.
I was startled, raised my flashlight to take a closer look, only to find that the end of this rock crevice was already densely covered with red skulls, and I was so shocked that I forgot to breathe until I was dizzy and took a sharp breath.
They're chasing, they're really coming!
I watched as more and more hermit monsters gathered on the water's surface, their black legs shaking and emitting a heavier and heavier fishy stench.
I had no escape, no other way out than to dive into the cave and follow the original route, and seeing them getting closer and closer to me, I took a big breath and sank into the water.
This is the last time, no matter what lies ahead, I can't retreat, somehow, I'm a little glad in my heart, I don't have to hesitate anymore, God has already made arrangements for me, there will be no more choices, I can only move forward according to the established script.
This is really a blessing for me, I thought to myself, and without hesitation, I went into the hole, and reached the fork in the road as fast as I could, and I still didn't give up, and after a few more looks, there was really nothing in it, and the hole was still so narrow.
I was destined not to join them, I swam over, my heart was like a thousand pounds of boulders, it was uncomfortable, there was a field in front of me that had never been explored, I subconsciously slowed down, the seaweed was still like that, and there was nothing else.
I swam out of seven or eight meters, and there was a fork in the road in front of me, this time the fork in the road was different, it was two obvious ones, like the shape of "Ya" in front of me, each of which was enough for me to swim in.
I twisted my body and glanced behind me, there was no shadow of the hermitage, I don't know if they didn't chase after me, or if they were slow, but I didn't dare to hesitate too long, I raised my flashlight and shone it on both sides, the two passages were almost like copy and paste, there was nothing but dense seaweed, and nothing unusual from the outside.
I'm afraid that this is not to force me to death this phobia of choice, I knew that I would bring a coin, this time will definitely come in handy, I hesitated, and finally chose the right, because the last fork in the road is on the right, I always feel that this can be closer to nineteen.
Except for the seaweed or seaweed, almost the same as the one outside, this road is much shorter than I imagined, it will not be six or seven meters to the end, in fact, it is not the end, there is still a road ahead, but the entrance of the cave suddenly became shorter, unless I have the ability to flatten my body like an octopus, I can't get in.
I was a little irritable, turned on the flashlight, lowered my body and looked, the inside was the same as the outside, it was full of dark brown seaweed as thin as a hair, very dense, and the hole was so tightly blocked that I couldn't see anything except the little bit in front of me.
I had no choice but to retreat, but fortunately the hermit monsters didn't chase me, and just as I was about to retreat to the fork in the road, I suddenly felt something wrap around my ankle.
By the time I realized it was too late, there was seaweed everywhere, and I couldn't feel anything strange at all, I didn't know what it was, like a soft rope that had no sense of existence, but suddenly tightened and pulled hard.
I felt the force, it was very great, I was startled, I subconsciously shrank my legs, twisted my neck and looked back, but the ankle suddenly loosened, and I only saw a white shadow flashing.
Sure enough, there was something!
My heart beat faster, and although it was gone, I was sure that I was not mistaken, something had just grabbed me, and the whiteness was familiar.
I couldn't help but recall, and suddenly remembered that I had indeed seen something similar, that we passed through a rock crevice before encountering the invisible monster, and I felt a wet mass under my hand, and when I looked closely, I saw a white mass retracted into the rock crevice.
I was just frightened, I rushed forward for nearly a meter, and when I looked backwards, I couldn't see anything, my movements stopped, I didn't dare to retreat again, what the hell was that?
I'm not sure it's the one I've seen, it's like it's growing in a rock crevice, like seaweed, and it retracts when you touch it, maybe there's a mimosa on the bottom of the sea.
I couldn't help but take a breath from the fright just now, now that the oxygen is not so sufficient, although there is an oxygen cylinder, but I don't plan to use it until it is a dead end, it is not a way to spend it here, I must make a decision as soon as possible.
In fact, there was no other way but to turn back, it was impossible to get out, and there was no way in ahead, and I was sure that the thing had shrunk into the fork in the road on the other side.
I didn't dare to retreat blindly, I could only tilt my head in a distorted posture, I tentatively retreated, and the white thing did not appear again, it was a terrible feeling, knowing that there was danger behind me, and I had to turn my back to it.
In fact, it doesn't need to escape, I'm like a fish on a chopping board now, even if I have a great ability, I can't show it, if it keeps pulling my feet, as long as it's still in this hole, I can't do anything about it.
I thought about it, and I had a little more confidence, it was afraid of me, otherwise why should I run away, if it was really so powerful, just kill me directly, which can only mean that it can't deal with me, so it will choose to sneak attack.
My courage is gradually growing, in fact, this is just a comfort in my heart, the frontal attack is easy to deal with, the sneak attack is the most despicable, even the god brother and they are all on the road, and it is difficult for me to be spared.
Fortunately, I am now on guard, I am ready to see a monster at a fork in the road, and I try to make it as terrifying as I can, so that I will not be so scared when I actually see it.
My foot touched the rock on the side of the fork in the road again, my heart tightened, and I quickly shrank my foot up to the right wall of the cave, although I was mentally prepared, I was still afraid, I leaned against the right wall of the cave and retreated little by little, half of my leg retreated, and I did not encounter another attack.
Could it be that the thing didn't dare to step forward after an attack failed? I was emboldened, and I quickened my back, and I already decided that it was still there, and if it was fast enough, I might be able to give it a blow.
The fighting practice in the Mo family is really effective, just on the left side, I am now more proficient in using a sword in my left hand than in my right hand, I am holding the sword in my left hand, and I slammed it under my feet, and my body retreated suddenly.
The speed was so fast that I didn't see anything, and when I noticed a fork in the road, I stabbed to the left, but I stabbed into the air, and by the time I stabilized my body, I was more than half a meter away from the fork in the road.
There was nothing, and I was a little dazed, looking at the empty fork in the road, which, as I had passed before, only dense seaweed floating with my movements.
Am I really wrong?
Impossible, the force that pulled me was so strong that I even suspected that only people could do it, but unfortunately the touch on my ankle was gone, and I looked at the fork in the road in front of me, and I didn't know whether to step forward or not.
The road was slightly narrower than the one on the right, and as soon as the seaweed moved, it was tightly blocked, leaving hardly any space in between, and I stepped forward again, holding up my flashlight to look closely, but I didn't see anything.
