Chapter 30: The Mysterious Shadow
"Cloud, found it!"
These few collaborations have brought the two of us closer, and she happily calls me "Yun", which, in her words, is a term for good friends in foreign countries.
I listened to her cries, and hurriedly surfaced, and took a big breath, and Anna pointed to a direction, and told me that there was a stone there, and a hole more than half a man high appeared when I pressed it, and it did not look like it was naturally formed, but should have been excavated by hand.
Anna and I went ashore to rest for a while, packed our backpacks, took out all the things that were afraid of water, and when I had packed up, I began to worry again, I didn't know how long the tunnel was, and if I didn't get out for a minute, wouldn't it be dangerous.
I told Anna and Liang Qiu about this concern, Anna meant that we only entered for 15 seconds, in this way, if we withdraw immediately once this time period is exceeded, 30 seconds back and forth, plus 10 seconds into the water and into the hole, a total of 40 seconds, this time period should be able to ensure safety, I have no problem with Anna, Liang Qiu is a little reluctant, but you can try.
That's it, Anna is in front, I am the second, Liang Qiu is the third, the three of us have dived into the water, Anna took us to quickly find the hole, Anna was the first to dive in, I also quickly followed, and glanced back at Liang Qiu, he followed closely behind me, there was no big problem for the time being.
We quickly dived in, I pinched the time and silently counted, my legs kept swimming forward, my hands were constantly sliding, just when the fifteen seconds were about to expire, the front was still dark, the oxygen in my body felt like it was about to reach halfway, I was about to touch Anna, tell her to retreat, but I found that Anna did not react at all, still swimming forward.
Liang Qiu behind me touched me several times, that was the signal that I had said before, which meant that I was going to retreat, I moved my foot to show that I knew, just when I was about to turn back, the wolf's eye flashlight above my head was dark and misty again, and I actually saw that there seemed to be a figure in front of Anna, so at a glance, I was instantly shocked.
Grabbed Anna's naked feet with my hands, and my body began to swim backwards, but fortunately, the water here was stagnant, there was no fluidity, and it was not too difficult to swim behind me, so I felt that Anna was very heavy, and then, my body continued to swim forward, and it became Anna dragging me and began to swim.
Liang Qiu behind me seemed to be a little anxious, and began to grab my feet naked and drag back, so it was a stalemate all of a sudden, it was very short up and down here, and I couldn't see what was going on with Anna at all because of the poor underwater vision, I only then realized that her legs were stiff, but she was swimming forward, and something was dragging him.
At this time, I feel that I have to make a choice, it seems that there is only one choice, that is, to give up Anna, Liang Qiu and I withdrew, and this choice is fast, I feel that there is not much oxygen in my body, Liang Qiu behind me probably can't hold on, I saw that I was already swimming back, and my hands dragged me hard.
Just when I was about to let go of Anna, I suddenly found that Liang Qiu was pushing me, wasn't he retreating, and soon, I found out that something was wrong, Liang Qiu seemed to be very anxious, his hands kept gesturing something, it was too dark, I couldn't see clearly, everything that happened was just in less than a minute, I turned around and shone Liang Qiu with a flashlight, and my heart was suddenly shocked, Liang Qiu couldn't hold on anymore, he kept shaking his head, and he would drown at any time, I felt that I was about to reach the limit.
At this time, my hand holding Anna was suddenly dragged and moved by a force, and the speed was so fast that I couldn't catch it, Liang Qiu also dragged my legs, and the three of us began to swim quickly.
Just when I felt my chest about to explode, suddenly, my whole body burst out of the water, and I began to gasp for breath, and this minute or so made me feel that the time was so long.
I didn't have time to look around, Liang Qiu also fell down immediately, here is a shallow pool, the water is very shallow, Liang Qiu splashed me with water when he fell, I saw him spitting water, panting heavily, the whole person was very weak, looking at Anna, crawling in the shallow water motionless.
I hurriedly walked over and turned her over, only to see her eyes wide, her eyes were still moving, her throat was turning up vigorously, her whole body was twitching, I patted her back vigorously, I felt that there seemed to be something in her innermost part, I opened her mouth, and saw a black object inside, and the corners of her mouth were also, like hair, very disgusting, in a hurry, I hurriedly grabbed it with my hands.
The feeling of the hand touch is slippery, like blocking the hair in the sewer, very sticky, I dragged it with my hand, pulled out a ball at once, and threw it on the ground, at this time, Anna gasped for a big breath, kept pounding, her face was not red, and then, began to spit out black inky water, I hurriedly patted her back, and spit for a while, she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and did not speak, just panting there.
I washed my hands with water, and then began to look around, here is a shallow pool, less than two meters away from here there is a hole, the hole has carved patterns, and also carved a dragon like a snake's head, we came out of there, the water flowed out from there and fell into the shallow pool, began to flow, I also found out at this time, this is a flowing river, but the water is very shallow, it should be an underground river, but this underground river does not know whether it is artificially dug.
Liang Qiu also eased up at this time, took out his glasses from his pocket tremblingly, and didn't know whether he was cold or scared, and said tremblingly: "Yun... Brother, here... Be... yes, just... What's going on. ”
I frowned and asked him, "I still want to ask you, didn't you just ask you to go back, why did you push me up." ”
Liang Qiu swallowed and foamed, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly shouted: "I remembered, just now, there was something behind me, and there was something behind me." ”
"It's... There are monsters, there are water monsters, well... It's horrible, I almost died. At this time, Anna also said weakly.
I think I'll talk about these things later, it's really a little cold here, and after the three of us have eased up a little, we quickly got up and left this shallow water, this river is flowing, I guess it is probably an underground dark river, but, I always feel that something is wrong, watching the water in the cave keep falling into the small river below, suddenly, I know that something is wrong.
When we entered the water hole just now, there was obviously no flow under the water, if there was such a drain, then, just now I could definitely feel it, I always thought that there was a stagnant water just now, but there was clearly a drainage place here, I was thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when I noticed that Anna's legs were stiff, the whole body was swimming forward involuntarily, now think about it, is it that this hole appeared suddenly? How is it possible, there is decoration around the hole, it is obviously deliberately excavated, how can it be suddenly appeared, I really can't figure it out.
The three of us walked to a relatively dry place, where we were going to rest, took out the alcohol cubes in the waterproof bag, lit a small stove, and we sat together, and I noticed that the girl named Anna was a little scared at first, but now she was calmer, especially when she found the water inlet.
Slowly, our bodies were almost slowed down, and after drinking some boiling hot water, I felt a lot more comfortable, and then I asked what had just happened, because I was in the middle of the position, and I didn't know what was going on before and after.
The two of them you say a word, I say a word, Liang Qiu is good to describe in more detail, Anna's Chinese is not too good, daily language is okay, describe more complex things, can only be said by analogy, but I still listened to a rough idea.
At that time, Anna was swimming forward, and suddenly a shadow appeared in front of her, the thing appeared more suddenly, Anna was suddenly frightened, but she usually likes to dive, and has a strong ability to adapt to the underwater, and immediately reacted, and was about to retreat to the suit, and was pasted up by that thing, Anna described that thing was covered with hair, slimy, just like the hairs I just pulled out of her throat, but what it looks like, she can't describe it, the environment is narrow, and the water is particularly dark, but Anna told me that the thing was quite large, about the size of a human.
Before Anna came back to her senses, she felt that something had entered her mouth, and as soon as the oxygen held in her body was discharged, Anna immediately began to struggle, but, the more she struggled, the more energetic the thing became, Anna only felt a burst of nausea, and she couldn't vomit if she wanted to, and the whole person was almost suffocated in the water.
