Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 20 The Grey Fireworm

The four of us ran along the passage of the cave and kept running inside. At first, these people were still chasing after the blood bats, but I don't know how long it took, there were fewer and fewer blood bats around them, and the more they went inside, the darker they became. We can only use flashlights for lighting.

Passing through a barrier where stalactites are piled up, and then down through a passage. It felt like we were walking in unison. After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding environment is no longer the same as the environment at the entrance of the cave. It's no longer dark, it's all blue, and it's so humid that it looks like water can be squeezed out of the air.

In front of us, an underground river stretched in front of us, the current was not fast, but the water was constantly steaming hot. Who knows what the hell is in here, so it's better to be careful.

"Why does it feel so hot?" Cannon sighed in surprise. Not only did the cannon sigh, but the three of us were also shocked by the scene in front of us. What the hell is this place, are we really underground?

Brother Li and I walked in front, trying to test the temperature of the river with our hands. The water temperature is not high, just like lukewarm water that has not been boiled. It seems that it should not be difficult to get to the other side.

Brother Li shines a flashlight on the other side of the river, and in addition to some marble fences, there are also some stone carvings. Could it be that there are also large tombs in this category?

I took the compass out of my backpack, but the needle on the compass turned wildly, as if it had been disturbed very strongly. It seems that there must be something like a magnet here that is disturbing the surrounding magnetic field. I had to put the compass back in my backpack. If we can find a tomb here, we will be worthwhile.

Brother Li and I waded through the water, and the cannon and Li Tong followed behind us. "Don't talk about it, it's the water temperature. Definitely able to take a hot bath. After that, let's come here for a naked swim? After speaking, he felt that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Li, I said that we are three big guys, you can forget it." Li Tong looked at the cannon with a sullen face and dropped a sentence: "A dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." "Instead, walk in front of the cannon. Leaving the cannon alone to walk behind.

"Seventh brother, you found that there are no human bones in this water." Cannon said with a look of horror. Thinking that this thing should be okay and not deceive, I shot the flashlight in front of me, only to see that the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river were full of human bones. Some are still alive, and some are almost corroded. In addition, occasionally you can see some lost gold and silver jewelry in the river, but it can only be left here.

There must have been quite a few people here before, and a lot of people died here. So the question is, how much does the black-haired snake and Death Valley in the notebook we picked up have anything to do with it? All this is still a mystery.

Ten minutes later, we crossed the river. "Be careful, everyone, there must be danger here." Brother Li reminded. It seems that Brother Li's thoughts coincide with mine. In short, caution is the best.

In front of it is a cliff carved with some religious motifs. The four of us held our flashlights close to the carvings, wanting to see them up close. A cold wind is blowing from nowhere. For those of us who have just climbed out of the warm water, it is undoubtedly like falling into an ice cave on a hot day. We hurriedly put our coats on our bodies.

I was about to walk forward, when suddenly a lot of beetles appeared on the cliff, and gradually these beetles glowed blue and looked crystal clear.

"Where do you get these blue bugs?" The cannon suddenly came out of nowhere, and it was about to shoot. Brother Li hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Do you want to die here?" The cannon is unknown, so Brother Li said: "Since these insects live together, if you shoot another insect to death, they will definitely come to you and fight hard." You want everyone to bury you. ”

Brother Li's words made the cannon embarrassed, and he squatted on the ground alone. I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart." Brother Li is also for everyone's good. Seeing that I was so bitter, the cannon didn't say anything, but got up and followed me.

At the same time, Brother Li hurriedly beckoned everyone to step back, so as not to anger these bugs. "What kind of bugs are these?" I asked. Li Tongxi extinguished the flashlight and said: "I once saw in a foreign book a thing called the Stygian Fire Worm, the whole body is transparent and can emit blue light. The most terrible thing is that this blue fire can quickly carbonize the human body. ”

"I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, but fortunately, Brother Li pulled me just now." The cannon glanced at Brother Li with heartfelt gratitude. "It's better not to provoke these things, these dead people in the river may have been burned by this thing." With that, the four of us quickly stepped back.

Suddenly the cannon sneezed loudly, and the sound resounded throughout the cave. I hurriedly stepped forward to cover the uncle's mouth and motioned not to make a sound. When these fireflies heard the sound, they seemed to be stimulated by something, and the blue light on their bodies became even brighter.

"Maybe these blue bugs are there to protect this cliff." Brother Li said coldly, I think maybe what he said has some truth. We followed the path we had come, retreating all the way. The cannon is constantly picking up something into the water on the way, and we just don't say it.

When I was about to reach the shore, there was a sudden sound of breaking water in the deep water of the river, and I shot my flashlight over, only to see a wave rolling. "Did you hear it, there seems to be some movement on the reasonable side?" I said something subconsciously.

"Nope." Li Tong said. "No, there must be something, everyone." After Brother Li went ashore, I hurriedly stepped forward to meet the cannon. This product is still so greedy, and it is still bringing things into the bitter capital.

I sent that one forward every week, dragged the goods to the shore, and scolded: "You fuck, don't you want money or your life?" The cannon put on an under-beaten expression, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, isn't it for the sake of our alliance's future considerations?" ”

This grandson can really say. And the movement in the water is getting louder and louder, and the things in the water are constantly swimming towards us. Brother Li and Li Tong also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly took care of the two of us ashore.

The cannon who suddenly woke up trembled in his legs, and said nervously: "Seventh brother, I, I can't walk anymore." ”

"Ouch, I'll go, you are really my ancestor." I hurriedly put the shelf up and walked towards the shore. Brother Li also panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly went into the water to meet us. The waves in the water are getting closer and closer, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters. Luckily, we ran fast and ended up ashore with heavy cannons in tow.

Leaving the cannon on the shore, we lay on the shore gasping for breath. The stuff in the water shouldn't come up, right?
