Zhang Qiang said fart, I'm not playing in the water, I'm testing whether there is that kind of monster in the dark river, if there is, the monster will definitely float up after hearing the sound of water, so that everyone can have a mental preparation in advance, it's better than wading in the water without knowing anything.

I felt that this method was okay, so I waited patiently, and Chen Hu asked a few little soldiers to throw stones into the dark river with Zhang Qiang, which lasted about two or three minutes, and then we nervously retreated to the edge of the cave, set up our rifles and waited.

Fortunately, in addition to the turbulent water in the river, no other existence can be sensed at all, the warm wind on the surface of the river beach blows on the people's faces, warm and very comfortable, waiting for a long time, the water surface is still calm, everyone's hanging hearts finally let go, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go, that thing shouldn't be here." ”

Although the monster in the water did not appear for the time being, but we did not dare to relax too much, walked cautiously, walked forward twenty-three meters, the little soldier in front of the path found that there was a natural stone step in front of him, to the place where the underground dark river water is turbulent, I patiently looked, the water surface is still dark and swarthy can not be explored, if you want to wade into the water, the danger is needless to say, but this step is slippery, the surface is full of moss, and it is a natural arch, if you rashly climb up, it will also add a lot of unknown risks.

Chen Hu asked me what to do, whether to go up the steps or go into the water, I couldn't say why, so I had to leave the decision to them, Zhang Qiang thought about it, and suggested that everyone should climb up the steps, I asked why? Zhang Qiang said, after all, underwater is the home of monsters, in case there are really monsters after falling into the water, what should we do? Although the steps are also dangerous, there is always a buffer against the monsters directly underwater.

Chen Hu also agreed, since the idea has been decided, I said let's go, the province has many long nights and dreams.

On the steps, everyone looked at the sparkling dark river water under the light, and their hearts were soothed, the underground on both sides of the river was slippery, with dark green moss, and some unknown small insects were sneakily escaping, so much moss under our feet, we didn't dare to go too fast, so we could only walk cautiously against the wall.

It didn't take long to walk, we walked to the "arch bridge" near the top of the steps, this step is naturally formed by the erosion of the undercurrent, there is no trace of the structure, although the vicissitudes of life, but a little more ** and grandeur, come here, we look carefully, we can't help but sigh in our hearts the magic of the creator.

But Chen Hu said, "Xiaoye, I don't feel much, do you say that it is possible for nature to form such a natural stone arch bridge?" I pressed it, blinked, and said it wasn't natural, could it be man-made? But who would have such a lot of spare time to build a bridge in a place where no birds lay eggs?

Chen Hu was still not convinced, his brows were tightly locked, and he said, "No, I always feel that there is a big problem with this cave, although those caves are naturally formed, but there are many traces of artificial carving, do you remember the paintings on the stone walls?" It seems to be some strange scenes of human hunting life, and maybe this place was once inhabited. ”

I didn't say anything, Chen Hu's analysis was correct, in fact, as early as when I saw the first altar, I suspected that this should be the site of the ancient Wu clan, but after going into the cave for so long, I didn't get the slightest information about the life of the Wu clan, and gradually changed my opinion, and now by Chen Hu's words, my heart is more suspicious.

Anzanji cleared his throat and said Could it be that because of the age, the daily necessities left by the Wu clan have been corroded? Zhang Qiang interrupted us impatiently, saying that it was all at this juncture, what kind of quarrel was there, it didn't matter what kind of witch clan he was, I would be grateful if he could get out alive, who would be in the mood to think about anything else for this kind of incident.

An Zanji shook his head and said, "If this is really a witch clan relic, it is very likely that there are many inheritances left over from ancient times, these things are not important to you, but they are very valuable to me and Xiao Ye, if you can get some gains on the way, it will not be in vain." ”

Chen Hu asked us not to quarrel anymore, it is important to hurry through this arched bridge, he was the first to climb the arch bridge, used both hands and feet, and soon passed, and then untied the rope from his waist, found a fixed object to tie it, threw the other end of the rope to us, and said in a deep voice, "Come one by one, don't worry!" ”

Then there was another little warrior, who climbed the rope and climbed over it, although the arch was slippery and covered with moss, but these warriors had obviously been trained a lot in their lives, and the moss did not hinder them.

Soon there were three of us left, Zhang Qiang had injuries on his hands and feet, and it was not easy to move, so An Zanji and I tied a rope for him and let him climb across the arch bridge first.

The next one was Anzanji's turn, he stared at the turbulent dark river under his feet, frowned and said, Why don't you go over first? I said no, you go first, I'll stay behind and break the back.

Anzanji has always habitually kept the danger to himself, but after so many things, I have long grown up, and I can't always rely on others to take care of me, listening to me say this, Anzanji did not hesitate, and climbed the arch bridge with both hands and feet.

When it was my turn, there was a sudden huge splash in the water under the bridge, and there was a thunderous sound coming from the water, and I was just halfway up when my heels were wet with the rushing water, and at the same time I heard the other side of the bridge shouting, "Beware, watch out below you!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and instinctively lowered my head, the water was still cloudy, and I couldn't see anything underneath, I could only see a huge whirlpool floating on the surface of the water, and it had a tendency to gradually expand.

The appearance of this whirlpool was mixed with a cold storm, freezing my lips blue, and subconsciously scolded my mother, and soon I felt a huge force hit the bridge hard, the bridge shook for a while, and then fell into a trembling, the moss on the bridge was slippery enough, this shake, my body immediately lost its center of gravity, and my body fell straight into the water.

Thump!

The sound of falling water mixed with the shouting and scolding of Zhang Qiang and others was transmitted to my ears collectively, and I didn't have time to think about what was going on, I just felt that there was an endless stream of cold water surging under my feet, drowning me in an instant.

I was so excited by the cold water that I shuddered, calmed down, kicked my legs up hard, exposed my head to the water, breathed in the fresh air greedily, and then saw the light on the water swaying around, and there were many voices dangling in my ears, Zhang Qiang shouted, "Grab the rope and come up, monster...... Monsters have appeared! ”
