Chapter 235: The Cave of Eating Man
I became more and more panicked, I could only suppress it desperately, this state made me unable to hold my breath for enough time, the seaweed caressed my face in wisps, obviously life, but with an indescribable death, the simplest, most ordinary scene but the most terrifying.
Their color was so easy to reverie that I hardly dared to touch the rocks on either side of the hole, the jagged rocks were nothing out of the ordinary, but I was afraid that if I tried hard, I would pull them off, and what appeared before me was a white, swollen human head.
I swam for more than ten meters and didn't see the end, this dark path is indeed not short, I pushed aside a bush of seaweed, and saw a dark and secluded hole on the right, almost completely covered by seaweed, it is easy to ignore if you don't look closely.
There was a fork in the road, I tilted my body slightly to look into the fork in the road, the inside was the same as the outside, it was filled with dense seaweed, and there was no end in sight, but this fork in the road was impossible to enter, it was too narrow, and it was only a few tens of centimeters round, even if you took off the equipment, it was impossible to squeeze in.
I reached out and touched it, the space inside was quite large, similar to the dark passage outside, but the entrance was so narrow, I pounded the rock at the edge of the hole hard, it didn't react, there was no sign of movement.
There's no way they're going to get in from here, I feel Nineteen gently patting my leg, he can't see anything after him, and I'm sure to wonder if I'm stopped.
I swam a big way forward, he followed, I tried my best to twist my body and turn back, I saw him holding on to the hole and looking in, after a few glances and then motioning for me to swim forward, I kicked the stone wall, and just as I was about to go forward, he grabbed my ankle violently.
What's wrong?
I stopped, suddenly felt a little scared, and hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see that Nineteen was still staring at the hole, with surprise in his eyes, my heart was tight, and I couldn't open my mouth to ask, but I saw that he quickly unloaded the equipment and stuffed it into the hole, and his body continued to shrink from top to bottom.
It's a shrunken bone, I was shocked, I forgot about this, I couldn't go in, but Brother Shen and Eleven could go, but I ignored it, there was obviously nothing there, why did Nineteen go, did he see something?
No, I looked very closely, there was nothing in it, and I could see it wherever Nineteen's eyes could reach, and it couldn't be that after I left, something appeared there.
I became more and more flustered, it was possible, it must have been a living creature in such a short time, and I became frightened, only to see that Nineteen had shrunk his body into a twisted and strange way, and his body had become longer, and it seemed to stand up all the bones horizontally.
Nineteen made a waiting gesture to me, and then slipped through the narrow hole, and I watched as half of his body reached in, but I couldn't stop it, and soon his feet disappeared into the hole, and I panicked, and pulled back against the rocks to see what was inside.
The water under my feet suddenly changed, and I was startled, and I saw that the seaweed was all moving in the direction of me, and they all fell down against the cave wall, no longer flying lightly in the air, the water was flowing rapidly, from the top of my head to my feet, the current was so strong that I could retreat with the current without having to pull the rocks.
I was so shocked that I turned my head and saw that the water was flowing into the little hole, forming a chaotic whirlpool at the entrance of the hole, which must have opened an outlet, or this would not have happened.
What's really going on inside? I was anxious and afraid, but suddenly I noticed that the current that had been pounding me was gone, and the cave was calm again, and the seaweed stretched out as before.
I panicked, quickly moved my body and retreated to the edge of the cave, and when I looked inside, I only felt that the blood in my whole body was cold, and the cave was still the same as I saw before, except for Nineteen, who had disappeared.
Is it really gone, a big living person suddenly disappeared like this, even disappeared with equipment, the current just now is indeed very strong, but it is impossible to be strong enough to wash people away without resistance, Nineteen Ming just entered, it was only a few seconds before and after, it was impossible for me not to see him, but he really disappeared.
I felt the cold hairs all over my body stand up, and I looked at the empty hole in a daze, and I didn't know what to do, the cold feeling rushed through my body like electricity, I closed my eyes hard and opened them again, but there was still no, it was an ordinary hole, and there was no shadow of nineteen.
What the hell just happened!
I only felt a chill constantly overflowing from this hole, and I put my head in it, waving my arm to push away the seaweed deeper, but there was nothing, except seagrass or seaweed, no anomalies found by Nineteen, and no one of them.
I actually watched Nineteen disappear, I shouldn't have let him in just now, I was not only puzzled but also scared, what attracted his attention, he must go in to check? What just happened, where the hell did he go?
The bubbles kept spilling out of my mouth, and I retracted my head, staring at the hole in front of me, expecting Nineteen to suddenly emerge from inside, I knew it was impossible, and I waited for a long time until the oxygen could no longer be maintained, and he did not appear.
A big living person just disappeared.
The lack of oxygen made me a little dizzy, I knew that I couldn't hold on, either I had to use an oxygen cylinder now, or I had to quit, I hesitated, even if it was useless to use an oxygen cylinder, I couldn't get in, if I followed the original route, I didn't know where I would go, I had to go out and think about it first.
This hole is really going to eat people, Brother Shen is gone, Eleven is gone, and now even nineteen is gone, the more I think about it, the more terrible I feel, waving my hands and feet and constantly retreating, I want to get out of here quickly, out of this demon cave.
There was no obstruction, no danger, I retreated the way I came, surfaced and took a big breath, soothing my sore lungs.
I leaned against the stone wall and gasped for a while, only to feel the chaos in my head, the process of Nineteen's disappearance was repeated in front of me like a videotape, it was too weird, what did he see that I didn't see, how could he disappear so quickly, even if it was difficult to perform here, his reaction speed and movements were also very fast, and he must have a time to turn around when he found the anomaly, how could it disappear in a few seconds.
I finally understood, understood why Brother Shen and Eleven disappeared, they must have found the anomaly like us, Brother Shen who swam in front didn't see it, and Eleven who swam in the back found out, Eleven would definitely get into it like Nineteen, and then the same thing happened, the only difference was that Brother Shen would also shrink his bones, and he would definitely go in to investigate when he found that Eleven disappeared, and he didn't come back as soon as he went.
What the hell is in that hole that you have to go to? I was a little angry, and I raised my hand and pounded on the stone wall, which was like a well-designed trap to lure us in, which would not have been the case if the four of us had gone together, but it was too late for anything.
I looked at the empty crevice and didn't know what to do, I was left alone, I was alone again, and this time I knew what was going on but couldn't stop it, it was even more terrifying to see, if I didn't know anything, I could comfort myself that they were safe, and now I saw with my own eyes how scary it was.
My heart was full of fear, I was too bold just now, I dared to really stick my head in, but I didn't find anything, if there was something hidden there that wanted to take us away one by one, why did you let me out?
It was deliberately torturing me, deliberately driving me into despair, I looked down at the hole underwater, it was still so quiet, it didn't look any danger.
I saw it, but I didn't realize what was causing it, and when I was in the cave, I wanted to re-enter it with my breath, but now I don't even have that courage, and I want to get as far away from it as possible.
But I had nowhere else to go, and I still had a ten-thousandth expectation in my heart that they would swim out of it one by one, and I stared at the hole without blinking, praying for a miracle.
Time was passing little by little, no one came out, no danger came, I kept my head down, and suddenly I raised it only to feel that my neck was sore, like a stiff neck, no sound, no life, this place seemed to be a real place of death.
I went down two more times with trepidation, and watched from afar at the mouth of the cave, and inside, as I had seen it for the first time, the hair-thin seaweed fluttered freely, desolate and peaceful.
Panic is followed by anxiety, anxiety is followed by panic, it's been a long time, they haven't come out yet, I dive down again and again to check, and I return disappointed again and again, I realize that they may really not come out again, I am really the only one left here.
I only have two ways now, either to wait or to swim in, but I can't get into that little hole, I have to swim forward, I'm sure they're all in that little hole, and it's useless to swim forward, not only can't I find them, but maybe I'll go into a more dangerous situation.
Then all that's left is waiting, I sighed, it's just as useless to wait, if they can come out, it's impossible to keep me here, it's been long enough, even if they're still alive, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out.
My phobia of choice has been committed again, I began to substitute myself into everyone's body, and now in this situation, if it is Brother Shen, it is eleven, it is nineteen, it is Ah Chuan, or even Lao Huang, what will they do?
I thought about it for a while, and realized that I didn't know them at all, and they all had the same side as I am.
I thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I should follow Brother Shen's approach, he must have followed, then I would take the equipment and smash the hole open, only by going in could I have the possibility of meeting them, I know how dangerous this is, even if I die, I have to die with them, so I am not a lonely ghost.
