Chapter 81: Under the Ice
I was stunned for a second, and before I came back to my senses, Daoist Mo on the side picked up the rope like a monkey and climbed up in just a few blinks of an eye, he squatted at the mouth of the cave and looked inside, and then shouted at me: "Come up!" ”
I shook my body and grabbed the rope and climbed up, and a few minutes later I came to him, and Mo Daoshi pointed to the ground, "Leizi was attacked and dragged in, you will be smart." I nodded with a tight head, and the two of them quickly drilled deeper into the hole.
The cave was not high enough, and Daoist Mo and I could only trot on our waists, and the backpack on my back weighed me a little out of breath, but fortunately, the passage in front of me was not very long, and we reached the end when I was about to take my last breath.
In front of me turned out to be a dammed lake, the surface of the lake was only a meter away from the mouth of the cave, the black water of the lake was bottomless, I just looked at it and my scalp was numb, and I had deep-sea phobia again.
"Did we hear the water just now?" After I finished speaking, I shook my head, and Daoist Mo squinted at the calm lake and said, "I haven't heard it either, it may be a little far away." ”
"You're not going to jump, are you? I'm not good at water, and if I carry a bag again, I'll sink straight down to feed the fish. "I shuddered, and I was very resistant to this bottomless water.
Daoist Mo was also a little hesitant, thinking that he felt that jumping down rashly would only increase the danger, so he thought for a while and grabbed a fist-sized stone from the ground and threw it down.
"Smack!"
The rock fell and slid several meters away, and the lake was still moving, and I was horrified, "This is ice!" ”
Daoist Mo was also surprised, he took out the rope and handed one end to me, "I'll go and see first, you take me with the rope." After saying that, he jumped down.
He lay on the ice and shone his flashlight for a while, then took out his dagger and stabbed it a few times, leaving only a slight scratch on the ice, which was as hard as steel.
I've heard that the ice is unbreakable, and the ice on the lake in front of me is certainly not much worse if it is not ten thousand years, and it must be fine for people to just walk on it.
The ice was smooth and cold, and the snow boots we wore weren't enough for it, but the mountaineers had their own tricks, so I hung my backpack on my chest and got on the ice, and then skated on my hands, which greatly improved my speed.
"There's no end in sight here, where can we find Leizi?" I held up my flashlight and was a little annoyed.
Daoist Mo looked around and saw that there were no clues, he took out the talisman and recited the words in his mouth, "Yuan Shi'an Town proclaims all souls, Yue blasphemy true officials, land spirits, left society and right Ji, do not be alarmed, return to the right path, clarify inside and outside, each position is safe, guard the altar and court, Taishang has an order, search for evil spirits, protect the Dharma God King, defend the chanting, take refuge in the avenue, Yuan Henry Zhen!" Go! ”
This is similar to what he had recited before, but longer, after the spell was spoken, the spell floated up and spontaneously combusted into ashes and fell to the ground, and then a halo appeared in front of us, Mo Daoist put a straw figure in front of the halo, and then the halo drilled into it, and the villain stood straight on the ground, slowly turning the direction towards our left front.
"Over there." After Daoist Mo finished speaking, he picked up the villain and lay on the ground and began to slide again, I quickly chased after him and asked, "What kind of spell is that?" ”
"The land god spell can summon the land and mountain gods to make them perform on behalf of ordinary people to the heavens, and track and find people."
After gliding on the ice for a while, a huge spherical object appeared in front of us, and after arriving at it, we roughly estimated that this spherical object must be four or five meters high, and the material was probably bronze or other metal.
Through the outermost hollow layer, you can see that the second layer inside is also a spherical object, but it is smaller, only more than two meters in diameter.
The sphere was held to the top by several huge chains, and I was lying on the ground and looking at it, I realized that the giant sphere was about the thickness of a palm from the ice.
I don't know what the role of this ball is hanging here, and Daoist Mo also stretched out his hand to grope on it, and then raised a flashlight to look at it, the length of the chain is amazing, and the light source of forty or fifty meters under the flashlight can not be illuminated.
I tapped my finger on it gently, and the thing rang a bell, and it got louder and louder the further back it went, and it looked like there was a megaphone inside the sphere.
As soon as the sound came out, the whole space trembled slightly, and I quickly retracted my hand and looked at the top of my head, afraid that the rocks above would collapse.
"It's a trap." Mo Daoist came to a conclusion, he said, "This is where the bell we heard before came from, and this thing is the key to our next destination. ”
He said as he took out the scarecrow from before and put it on the ground, this time the direction facing the gadget was the big ball in front of us, and Daoist Mo changed the direction several times, and each time the direction of the villain was the ball.
"Leizi may be in there." I shook my head, "It's unlikely, if he was inside, he would have called for help." ”
"He may have called for help, but we couldn't hear him." As he spoke, he took out the bronze coin sword and plunged it into the hollow gap, and then pressed it against the inner sphere, and the ball hummed again.
This time, not only was the top of my head and all around me shaking, but the ice under my feet was also shaking violently, and my heart was crushing to hold the ball to stop the sound, but it was the inner tank that made the noise, and it was useless for me to hold on to it outside.
I turned my head and saw Mo Dao calmly looking at my feet, I was just about to open my mouth when I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing up from bottom to top, and I was shocked to find that it was not the wind blowing up from below, but that our feet were empty!
It must have been the sound just now that triggered the mechanism, there was a trap under the ice, my flashlight shook from side to side, those lakes were densely packed with corpses, and my scalp was numb and my throat tightened! But before fear could get over us, we landed.
I thought I would break a few bones, but unexpectedly the landing point was very soft, and after the cushioning removed most of the strength, I just felt a tightness in my chest and dizziness.
When I reached out and touched it, it turned out to be a clump of red cotton, which made me wonder very much, where did the cotton come from in this cold and freezing environment? It's still red.
When I got up from the pile of cotton, I looked around, and everywhere I could see was a fiery red, and there was no end to the cotton beneath me.
"Cotton industry base?" I was puzzled, and Daoist Mo snorted coldly, "What kind of cotton is this, this is a flower!" ”
