Tick, tick, is the sound of water dripping.

"By the way, I still have matches." Wen Mu reacted quickly, reaching out to touch the bag on his waist, but who knows, no matter how he touches it, he can't feel the existence of the small bag, "It's strange, where did my bag go?" It's still there just now. ”

It's no wonder that I felt like something was missing from the beginning.

"Ah, let's get out of here first, it's still too dangerous here." Xia Yuan looked blankly at the darkness in front of him, the river had returned to dead silence, and the entire cave was so quiet that only his own echo could be heard.

Wen Mu nodded in agreement, but then thought that Xia Yuan shouldn't be able to see himself nodding, so he spoke: "Well, it's only like this now, we should be able to go out of this place and return to the valley we came into." ”

"Ah, where are you?" Xia Yuan could only stand in place and keep waving his hand to find the direction of Wen Mu, he didn't dare to walk blindly, he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the dark river that looked very deep, and be the companion of that strange fish.

"Here, I'm here." Wen Murmur had adjusted to the darkness, "Poof. ”

"Ahh You're laughing again! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't hold back." She tried to make her voice sound more steady, and after a moment, she reached out and grabbed Xia Yuan's hand that was still waving, "Okay, let's go." ”

Wen Muan's hand was on the stone wall, and the feeling of being wet and sticky instantly came from the palm of her hand, and a bad cold spread to her heart.

"This wall seems a little delicate to the touch." Xia Yuan took the lead in saying what Wen Muan's heart said, "It feels like touching a catfish." ”

"You've ever touched a catfish?"

"It was all when I was a kid. I remember one time, when my dad came home, he was followed by a few researchers in their laboratory, they carried a super large fish tank from the outside, at that time I didn't know that there were four whiskers in it, and the thing that was black was a catfish, at that time I was still young, so I took advantage of my dad's inattention, opened the lid of the fish tank, reached out and wanted to touch the fish, you know, how tall I was at that time, the fish tank was about the same height as me, I haven't touched the catfish, The whole body turned in, and when my dad heard the sound and rushed in, he saw me standing in the fish tank with the fish, and the fish kept writhing its tail and slapping me in the face, and I didn't know what I thought at that time, even if I was confused, I didn't want to let go of the fish, I remember that my dad looked at me and laughed for almost half an hour before he rescued me from the fish tank. ”

"I remember, I remember, is there a time when your face has been swollen, and you lied to me that it hit a tree, and it turned out that it was thrown by a fish's tail, hahaha." The originally dark and tense atmosphere instantly relaxed under Xia Yuan's seasoning, "What about later, what about that catfish?" ”

"My dad never let me see that catfish again, maybe he released it, I don't even know what he was going to do with such a fish......"

The relaxed atmosphere here didn't last long, and the originally calm water on the side suddenly rolled up again, and both of them were shocked in their hearts, could it be that thing again?

"Obuchi...... We have nothing left to defend against it. Wen Mu's brain was already blank, and the voice that echoed in the valley trembled obviously.

"Calm down, Ah Yan, there will definitely be a way, calm down, maybe it's not that strange fish?"

"No way, it's exactly the same as the sound just now, it's coming again, it's chasing us!" Wen Mu didn't care about the wet slippery thing she had complained about just now on the stone wall, her back was tightly pressed against the stone wall, her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it had been lifted to her throat, and she was about to jump out of her throat in the next second.

Xia Yuan held Wen Muan's hand harder and harder, still using a slightly pale comfort to hypnotize himself, and also wanted to hypnotize Wen Mu: "No, we will be fine, it's okay to fall from such a high place, this time it will definitely be fine!" ”

Just when he heard the sound of the behemoth jumping out of the water, Xia Yuan reflexively blocked in front of Wen Mu, or the smell of fishy smell came straight to him, Xia Yuan clenched his teeth and closed his eyes in resignation.

It's just that the imaginary pain didn't come, Xia Yuan, who had been tense for a long time, tentatively opened one eye, only to see a beam of white light at the moment he opened his eyes, straight into his eyes, and under a tingling pain, Xia Yuan had to squint again.

After a long while, the white light moved away a little, and Xia Yuan could finally see clearly, the huge strange fish was falling in front of him with its mouth wide open at this moment, and a spear directly penetrated its entire body, and dark blood continued to flow out from its body and mouth, flowing into the river, and quickly spreading on the surface of the water.

"Steward Qin!" Wen muttered a voice of surprise behind Xia Yuan.

"Miss? And the young master? I've found you. On the other side of the river was Steward Qin with a flashlight, he was waving vigorously at the two of them, and the light of the flashlight also flickered with his movements, "You wait for me there, I'll come to you right away." ”

With that, the butler began to run deeper into the cave, and the white light quickly disappeared across from them, but it was not long before the light of the flashlight reappeared to their right.

The housekeeper's body was dry, and there was no trace of water. He carried a large bag and a small bag, and finally ran in front of the two.

With a look of disgust, he looked at the strange fish that had swallowed its breath, and kicked it the body, kicking it back into the water.

When he looked at the two of them, the expression on his face instantly turned into worry: "Young Master, Miss, are you okay?" ”

"It's a good thing you came just in time, otherwise we might have become a meal for this fish."

"This is a Siamese fish, I don't know why it ran into here, and because it has been in this dark place for a long time, it has mutated, it should have been hungry for a long time before it will attack you passing by." The butler watched the spear floating farther and farther away from the water, and explained to the two of them.

"Speaking of which, why are you on the other side? And where is that spear? I remember when we came, you didn't seem to bring anything like that, did you? Xia Yuan's series of questions hit Steward Qin directly, is all this a bit too coincidental?

"Alas, young master, this whole thing is indeed a long story, I see that you are all soaked, it must be because of that fish, right? I'll take you to change your clothes first, and then you can listen to me explain slowly. In fact, there is a stone gate behind the position where I was standing just now, and there are many paths in it, and I dare not go deeper at will, for fear of getting lost. ”

The butler led the two of them back to the depths of the cave, and after reuniting them, they finally relaxed the nerves that had been highly tense.
