Chapter 23: The Vortex
The three of them have known each other for less than four days, but they never give up at the moment of life and death, which really moved Xia Bing's heart. How fierce the scolding is, how moved the heart is.
At this time, An Ran racked his brains to find a way, but this situation was really unthinkable.
Wang Shengli didn't think about anything now, his eyes were fixed on the mountaineering pickaxe, and he prayed silently in his heart: "Can't fall, can't fall ......"
However, the three of them were too heavy, and the pickaxe had begun to slide slowly down, and Wang Shengli was looking at it, and his eyes were about to pop out.
"It's over......"
Suddenly, the hand holding the mountaineering pickaxe suddenly lightened, and Wang Shengli said in despair. Immediately after, the three of them slid all the way down the ice, rushing straight to the crack on the ice. "Zi slip" fell out of the crack.
The three of them were already mentally prepared, but they didn't shout, they just clung to each other, and they felt that it was good to be able to die together, at least with a companion.
As a result, after falling for a while, they heard a "bang", and the three of them fell into the water, and suddenly felt cold and biting, so they let go of each other and quickly put their heads out of the water.
In the cold water, the three of them were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little confused.
Immediately, Xia Bing burst into tears and laughed, and the laughter like silver bells echoed in the cave, as if he had never been so happy.
An Ran and Wang Shengli were also infected, laughing loudly, laughing so presumptuously, Wang Shengli even waved his fists and howled, expressing the joy of rebirth after the catastrophe in his heart.
"Enron, Xia Bing, haha, there is water under the ice, God won't let us die!" Wang Shengli was very happy, and stretched his neck and screamed.
The three of them were immersed in joy when they heard a rumbling of ice falling into the water, causing a wave of spray. Fortunately, the three of them were in the center of the icebreaker, and the ice could not hit them if it fell.
With the silver light emitted from the strange insect's body, An Ran saw that there were a lot of floating ice cubes around him, which were melting at an extremely fast speed.
He looked around and saw that the waterhole was very large, the same size as the cave, and there was no edge to be seen.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from overhead, startling the three of them.
Immediately after a "bang", a person fell from the sky and smashed directly on an ice floe not far away, and suddenly there was no sound.
"Fell to death?" Wang Shengli asked stunned.
Out of curiosity, the three of them swam up to the ice floe and looked through the silver light. The man had fallen into disshape, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he couldn't see it.
Xia Bing quickly turned his head.
Wang Shengli looked up at the ice that hadn't fallen above, and said, "Was there anyone else on the ice just now?" Why didn't we find out at all? ”
An Ran shook his head and said, "We fell from the ice just now, it doesn't seem to be very high, even if we hit the ice floe, it is impossible to smash like this!" ”
Wang Shengli also felt strange when An Ran said this, and muttered: "People are all flattened, this person should have fallen from a higher place?" Could it be the roof of the cave? Is there someone on the top of the cave? ”
An Ran still shook his head, he couldn't see the top when he looked up here, and he couldn't be sure.
"Ah......h
Who would have thought that at this time, there were several screams in a row, and then several people fell from the sky. Someone fell into the water with a bang, and someone smashed directly on the ice floe.
If you hit the ice floe, you will definitely not survive, and there is no trace of what you fell into the water.
The three of them were a little confused, everyone had seen it raining in the sky, but there were so many living people in the sky, and it was the first time that An Ran had encountered it.
After calming down, An Ran and Wang Shengli came to a small ice floe and looked at the corpse on it. This man's eyes were round, his eyeballs were about to fall out, and his death was quite tragic. I wanted to find some clues from him, but found that his backpack was long gone.
"Look at his clothes!" An Ran pointed to the corpse and said to Wang Shengli.
Wang Shengli nodded and said, "See, the clothes on their bodies are made of the same materials as ours, and they must be adventurers." Judging by the style, it is in the same group as the adventurer who broke his leg outside the canyon! ”
An Ran frowned and said, "That's right, depending on the severity of their fall, they really fell from the top of the cave." ”
As the two were talking, An Ran suddenly felt that the silver light was much darker, and he felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help but look up. It turned out that the strange insects were getting higher and higher, and they were moving fast, as if the pillars were growing upwards.
But how can those dead things on the pillars grow?
The only explanation is that the water level is falling, and they are rapidly declining along with it.
With such a large area of water falling so fast, how big a hole does it have to be leaking? An Ran suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
At this moment, Xia Bing suddenly shouted: "An Ran, Wang Shengli, look, there is a person who is floating!" ”
An Ran looked over, and sure enough, there was a person floating on the water. The man was face down, his hands were down into the water, and his whole face was buried in the water, and it seemed that he was no longer dead.
Wang Shengli saw a notebook in the man's bag peeking out of the corner, and proposed: "Go over and look at the notebook on that person, since they dare to come here, they must have done an investigation, maybe they know where the exit is!" ”
An Ran glanced at the rapidly declining water level, and after weighing it, he didn't tell Wang Shengli and Xia Bing, so as not to make them nervous.
The trio quickly swam towards the floating man.
But after a while, they found that the floating man was getting farther and farther away from them. The three of them tried harder, and as a result, the floating man drifted farther away, as if they were playing hide and seek.
Wang Shengli was a little stunned in his heart, and said softly: "An Ran, I heard the old man say that water ghosts like to tease people and make something for the living to chase, and after chasing him to the place where he was ambushed, he jumped out and hooked people's souls as a stand-in!" ”
"What do I think of the man who floats on the water, so much like ......"
Originally, this kind of environment was very weird, and being said by Wang Shengli again really made people's scalps tingle.
"Hook you big-headed ghost!" An Ran immediately scolded: "Lao Tzu is an atheist, so I don't believe in any water ghosts, if there is one, Lao Tzu must catch him back and make a specimen!" ”
After speaking, An Ran looked at the floating person, only to find that the person was gone, as if he had disappeared out of thin air, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
There can't really be water ghosts, right?
Enron was also a little weak-hearted.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a force pulling him forward, and the force was not small. Looking at Xia Bing and Wang Shengli again, they were also like him, struggling in the water in confusion and horror.
"Enron, we seem to be sucked by something!" Xia Bing shouted in some panic.
An Ran looked up, his head suddenly "buzzed", and his scalp tightened.
A huge whirlpool appeared in front of them, and it was this whirlpool that was sucking them in. To make matters worse, they have entered the range of the whirlpool and have been caught by the whirlpool.
Now Enron understands the reason for the sharp drop in the water level, and the floating person must have been sucked into this whirlpool.
