Chapter 8: Unknown Fish

The cave was burning with fire at this time, and in this natural cave, it was always possible to find the roots of some trees, dig some with a short knife, and after a lot of effort, finally make a fire.

At this time, I was grilling a fish that I couldn't name, the water here was not warm, but it was not cold, and it was not at all the same as the river I had experienced, which was a relatively normal underground river.

I shook my head, not thinking about the strange river and the merman, and the black python, and began to concentrate on this extremely ugly black fish.

This is still something I finally got up, although this is an underground river, but there are still more fish, but I really can't name it, ugly is ugly, but I can fill my stomach and do so much to do, especially without condiments, it tastes particularly unpalatable.

After a few bites, I ate the grilled fish into my stomach, felt that my body had strength again, and moved my legs and feet, because there was nothing to fill with water, I drank the river water casually, and I didn't know if it would hurt my stomach.

Looking at the dark in front of me, I stabilized my mind, now there is only this way out, unless, I go along the underground river, but when I think of the strange mermaid looking at the dark underground river, I suddenly have an inexplicable fear, everything here is a little weird, think about it or forget it, maybe this cave is similar to the banyan tree cave, maybe you can go out.

Picked up a small flashlight, tightened the short knife around the waist, the power of the flashlight is limited, in this dark environment, no light is very deadly, can be saved to use, so, while there is still fire, I made a simple torch, just like that, towards the darkness.

There seemed to be no danger in this tree hole, and there was nothing unknown, and it was very quiet after walking for about four or five minutes, but the temperature here was not high, and there was a hint of coldness.

The more I walked, the more frightened I became, because I suddenly felt that there were some traces of man-made here, and I was not sure what it was.

For example, there are a few places on the stone that seem to have some obvious marks of chisel, although I can't see what they are, but I'm sure they are not naturally formed, and for example, there are occasionally a few small holes in the upper room of the cave, which also seem to have been dug by man, because the holes are not naturally formed, most of them are square, and intuitively, I feel that this must have been dug by man.

Especially when I saw a pile of bones, it confirmed my guess even more, maybe because of the long time, the bones were scattered on the shelves, and I couldn't tell how many they were, but they were all human bones, and some of them were already blackened.

It seems that several people died together, holding a torch with a faint firelight, I looked around carefully, and found that there was nothing unique around, how did this pile of bones die, I roughly checked it, and found that there were three skulls, it should be three people, but no matter how I looked closely, I found that there were only three arms, this is what is strange about me, are these three people one-armed?

It seemed that this was not just a natural cave, this cave was a little too long, and at this time, the faint light on the torch was finally extinguished, because it was not made of oilcloth, and it was relatively simple, and it could not last at all, so I took out the most precious flashlight on my body, and continued to walk forward, and the more I walked, the more frightened I became.

For, I saw the second pile of bones, there were four skulls, it was four people, and it was still the same as the first pile, only four arms, and then another pile, and it was not until I saw the seventh pile of bones that I found something else, or rather, I seemed to be in another place.

There are many traces of man-made here, such as a blackened stone slab, which is obviously artificially erected, and it is impossible to see what it is used for, and some things that look like tools, but they have rusted and do not look like they are very old.

In particular, a mural, or rather, someone who painted it on the wall at random, depicted with something black, something like graphite.

The mural is already very blurry, and the things painted on it can still be distinguished if you look closely, or a lot of people are digging a mountain, and the middle one is not clear, and then there seems to be a person who looks like a devil, who looks very tall and suddenly appears, and then it is a blur, and in the end, these people are dead.

I really can't see what the painting on this mural means, after all, the painting is relatively simple, and there are so many blurred places that I can only barely see three places.

Pick up a rusty tool, just pick it up and it shatters, shattered to the ground, it is a bit like a resting place, and this place can't be said to be a cave, more like a stone cave, I don't know if it is naturally formed or artificially excavated.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a chill in my ears, and a cool breeze blew in my ears, like a ...... It was like someone was blowing in my ear.

I suddenly sweated, hurriedly looked around, but found nothing, it was really strange, just now that feeling was very real, thinking of so many dead people's bones here, I suddenly had a chill down my spine, although I am an atheist, but, in this environment, I still can't help but think nonsense.

Steady my mind, I feel that there is nothing to stay here, quickly get up and continue walking, but what makes me hesitate is that there are two holes in front, there is nothing special about taking a flashlight, I don't bother to think about it, let it be fate, and go directly into the nearest hole from myself, as soon as I entered, I felt that something was wrong, there was a peculiar smell coming out, how to describe the smell, very fragrant, making people have an urge to smell carefully, And the scent is so comfortable that I want to fall asleep smelling it.

Yes, falling asleep, my mind suddenly became a little blank, why are I so sleepy, but I took advantage of the clarity of the gap in my thoughts, and hurriedly bit my lip, and a fishy sweetness came into my mouth, and suddenly, let my mind return to sobriety, but at this time, I suddenly felt someone behind me pushing me, and the feeling of both hands touching my back was very clear, I am sure that this is a person.

But how could there be someone here, and they pushed me, what the hell?

Just as I was thinking, I plunged into the hole, which was downward, and very steep, like a big slide, and I almost couldn't hold on to it, and rolled all the way, and the bottom was very slippery, like a very smooth stone path that had been polished.

Finally, a sour feeling came from the nose, a heat flowed down the cheeks into the mouth, especially fishy sweet, just like this, I don't know how many injuries I have suffered, this is too aggrieved, think about it, I have been martial arts since childhood, not to mention how profound it is, but it is also a master, since I entered here, it is a bumpy road, and I have suffered a lot of injuries.

After thinking about it, I began to use my hands to exert force continuously, and finally, I seemed to grasp something that could eat strength, like a raised stone, I used my right hand to exert force, and grasped it hard, so that my body stabilized, and tried to control my body, and my right hand also found a place of difficulty, and gradually stabilized, I began to breathe in the air, so that my mind and body gradually stabilized.

Feet also found a place on both sides of the struggle, stepped on it, left hand carefully took out the flashlight, just a little suddenly, the flashlight was not turned off just subconsciously put into the pocket, at this time after taking out, the surroundings began to become brighter, this time, I found that my right hand is not holding a stone, but a broken hand, but not human, like a stone, the touch feels like a stone carving, but you can clearly see that it is the shape of a hand, Could it be that there are stone carvings buried here?

Looking down, there is no end in sight, my God, this place itself is underground, and I fell down such a big section, so here, how deep is it? And, what's underneath exactly?

At this time, I noticed that there seemed to be a hole under the place where I stepped on my feet, and there was a burst of fragrance coming out, the same as the one I had just entered the hole, but this time it didn't blur my mind.

Whatever it was, the first to go was saying, I can't just keep falling like this, and besides, what the hell was that thing that pushed me down just now? The unknown is always the scariest.

With this in mind, I began to move my body carefully, clenching the flashlight with my teeth, bending my legs into a squatting position, and trying to find another point of struggle as much as possible.

Finally, my right foot stepped on the edge of the narrow hole, years of martial arts training also came in handy, the body twisted on the edge in a serpentine posture, let my body change a posture, and quickly put the upper body of the body into the narrow hole, the right foot continued to exert force, this body is very similar to the yoga that many people learn now, but these are what my father taught me since childhood, the so-called body is as light as a swallow, and the limbs are as soft as water.

With the force of my right foot, my left knee quickly touched the edge of the hole, so that my whole body came in, and I didn't have time to rest, so I crawled straight into the hole, because there, I saw a glimmer of light.

However, the closer I got to it, the more I realized that the light seemed to be ...... Green.
