Chapter 461: The Second Way
At this time, I saw an oval object slowly rising in the lake water about ten meters away from us, and the ripples of the lake water were aroused by this thing.
I raised my flashlight and took a look at the lake, and I couldn't help but be stunned, it was a dog's head floating in the lake!
This is really unexpected, I was at a loss for a while, I have seen a lot of things in the ancient tomb, what white-faced dolls, prison heads, and a hundred-year-old python, but this suddenly exposed the dog's head on the surface of the lake, or the first time I saw it, I saw the dog's head quickly swam in our direction, and the two eyes were illuminated by me with a flashlight, emitting a faint blue light, which was really scary.
Just when the dog was about to swim to the shore where we were, it suddenly began to bark wildly, and the bark echoed in this empty environment, and it was a little terrible to hear, and Wang Chuyi, who was sleeping on my shoulder, was also awakened by this barking, and quickly looked up, and when she saw the dog's head, her body trembled, and she hurriedly asked, "How can there be a dog in the lake?" ”
Wang Chuyi asked, but I stopped asking, I don't know where this dog came from, it stands to reason that this kind of living creature should not appear in this kind of underground tomb, if you want to say what kind of giant python or something like that, I can still explain, that kind of creature naturally likes a dark and damp environment, but this dog is a mammal, and it is definitely not possible to survive in this kind of space, if there is no sufficient food.
The dog swam back and forth on the shore where we were, and I thought it would rush up, but who knew that after barking at us for a while, it plunged headlong into the water, leaving a large circle of ripples, and disappeared.
At this time, I quickly stood up, staggered to the edge of the lake, raised the flashlight and shone under the lake, but the lake was very turbid, the underwater visibility was too low, I couldn't see what was under the water, after a burst of barking from the dog, I felt that the fog rising in the lake was a little bigger, and even filled the entire space.
At this time, the seventh master and Huzi also surrounded them.
Seventh Master: "What about the dog?" ”
Me: "I don't know, I just swam around and dived." ”
"Fuck, how could a dog pop up in such a good way?" As he spoke, Huzi took two steps forward, standing on tiptoe along the edge of the steps, and one more step forward would lead him into the lake.
He held a flashlight and shone it towards the lake, as I thought, I wanted to see what was under the lake, but the lake was muddy, and Huzi didn't have any gain, just wanted to turn around and leave suddenly the ripples in the lake rose again, Huzi was shocked, and hurriedly retreated.
It's a pity that it's too late, and I saw that the dog in the lake jumped up from under the surface of the water and bit the tiger's arm.
At the moment when the dog jumped out of the water, I could see clearly that the lower half of the dog's body was almost all skeletons, which had rotted into shape, but I didn't know why there was a long white hair around the neck, and the whole dog was like a zombie dumpling, and pounced on the tiger fiercely.
"Be careful!" The seventh master shouted, rushed to Huzi quickly, raised his leg without saying a word, and kicked towards the dog's head with a side kick.
Although the dog was very aggressive, it couldn't withstand the kick of the seventh master, and was kicked directly and screamed, and then drilled back into the lake and disappeared.
After all this trouble, our sleepiness was swept away, and it seemed that the shore was not safe, and no one could say what strange things were in the lake, so we decided to leave first, and distance ourselves from the lake.
When we finished packing our backpacks and were about to leave, suddenly there was an abnormality in the middle of the lake again, a huge whirlpool formed almost instantly, and then a column of water rose to the sky, I saw it really, with the formation of this huge column of water, the water level of the lake dropped a lot.
At this time, the seventh master shouted, "Run!" ”
As soon as the words were uttered, the huge column of water began to tilt in our direction, and it was about to fall on us.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huzi hurriedly shouted, "You can't go up the steps, it's dangerous!" As he spoke, he grabbed the seventh master who was about to rush forward, and said nothing to let him rush up the steps.
On the other side, the water column is rapidly approaching us, and it is still tilting, I raised the flashlight to shine on the water column, and instantly scared out of a cold sweat, only to see that the water column is mixed with these many black spots, because the black spots are too dense, and even the water column has become black, like a huge black tornado, furiously attacking us, and those black spots, all blood-sucking leeches, the number is staggering, once we are washed by this waterspout, Not to mention whether this corrosive lake water will cause damage to our skin, the blood-sucking leeches in this water alone can kill us!
In this critical situation, I couldn't scruple too much, my brain was almost blank, and I instinctively wanted to climb towards the steps behind me, but due to my leg injury, it was very inconvenient for me to walk, and Huzi tried his best to obstruct it, and resolutely refused to let us enter the steps, and I fell into a dilemma for a while.
"Damn it, Huzi, let go, do you see what's in that waterspout? It's all blood-sucking leeches, and if this waterspout falls down, we'll all have to explain it here! Now rush up the stairs, and maybe there is hope for your life! I yelled as I tried to break the tiger's hand.
Helplessly, Huzi didn't let go, shouting that he couldn't go up the steps, and if he went up, he would be sent to death.
At this time, seeing that the waterspout was less than three meters away from us, and it might crash down at any time, I was so anxious that my head was full of sweat, and I shouted, "Damn, Huzi, if you don't let go, just wait to die here!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Wang Chuyi suddenly turn around and run towards the waterspout, and hurriedly shouted in fright, "Chuyi, what are you doing, danger, come back quickly!" ”
Although I shouted, Wang Chuyi still did not hesitate, rushed to the shore almost as fast as he could, and then raised his flashlight and shone it into the lake.
At this time, I didn't care much, I broke free from Huzi's hand, and then staggered towards Wang Chuyi, when people encounter great danger, their instinct will be stimulated, although the injury on my right leg is still extremely painful, but in the face of Wang Chuyi, who is in danger, I can still quickly reach her side.
"Lao Bai, look underwater, there's something!" As soon as Wang Chu saw me come to her side, he hurriedly pointed to the place where the flashlight was shining.
I looked down at the light, and couldn't help but be stunned, because the lake water fell very badly, the underwater part of the steps when our kayak docked was also exposed, only to see that under these steps, there was a semicircular stone gate, and next to the stone gate is a metal lever, which should be the mechanism to open the stone gate, if it were not for the lake water falling hard, this stone gate would not be found at all.
Seeing this, I hurriedly beckoned Huzi and Qiye to come over, and after seeing this stone gate, Qiye decided to walk down the steps without saying a word, and Huzi followed closely and followed quickly.
Wang Chuyi helped me to go down, while shining a flashlight on the surrounding lake, he took a photo, I found that although the lake is big, but it is not very deep, at most five or six meters, after the water level is lowered, the bottom of the lake can be vaguely seen.
"What's that?" Wang Chuyi asked nervously.
I saw that at the bottom of the lake, there were many long objects densely erected, each of which was a person high, and when I got closer, I could see clearly, the bottom of the lake was full of corpses, all of them were head-down, foot-up corpses, to be exact, it should be skeletons, the flesh on these corpses had long been corroded and gone, only some blue-green things, attached to the surface of the corpses, which looked very terrifying.
"It's corpses, a lot of corpses, everyone be careful!" I hurriedly reminded.
When Wang Chuyi helped me to the stone gate, the seventh master had already opened the stone gate, and then grabbed me by the collar and dragged me directly into the stone gate from the steps.
"I ......" I didn't shout a word, I only felt a sharp pain in my legs, and in an instant, the huge column of water fell from the sky, the water level of the lake instantly rose, and a huge current of water poured in from outside the stone gate.
"Quick... Push the trap and close the stone door! Fast! The Seventh Master shouted, wanting to run forward, but under the huge impact of this kind of current, it was already difficult to stand firm, let alone move forward.
Fortunately, Huzi's position was not far from the machine's pusher, and after struggling to take a step forward, he finally pushed the putter up, and the stone door let out a roar, and finally closed completely.
Just after the stone door closed, the flow of water also stopped abruptly, and I looked down to see that there were already a dozen blood-sucking leeches hanging on my body, greedily sucking blood, two or three of them had risen to the size of strawberries, and their bellies were round.
I hurriedly took out a lighter, scalded off these blood-sucking leeches one by one, and stepped on them when I raised my foot, and these blood-sucking leeches were crushed to death by me with my feet, and a handful of blood flowed out along the soles of my feet.
When we cleaned up the leeches on our bodies, we raised the flashlight and found that the steps here were inclined upwards, and I stood in place and looked up in a daze, and always felt that this step was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, or when I walked through it, there was a sense of déjà vu.
Just when I was still thinking about where I had seen this step, I only heard Wang Chuyi shouting, "That's it!" Can't be wrong, it's this step, it looks like we've really come to the right place! ”
As soon as the words fell, he hugged me excitedly, not estimating the injury on my leg, and jumped twice, grinning in pain, and asked, "Why can't I be wrong?" Did you find anything on the first day of junior high school? ”
Wang Chuyi smiled slightly, and said, "This step is exactly the same as the step above our heads, leading to the main hall!" I estimate that this road is the one that really leads to the main hall, and the steps above should be all organs, Huzi is right, that road is to die! ”
