275. Intricate labyrinth
Originally, I didn't want to listen to Gu Hanyan say that slave maid or something like that, but for the words of the immortals, the monster often claims to be a slave and a maid, and when he treats his peers, it is the Lun family, and when he treats the younger generations, he is the palace, or some other awkward titles, just like Xue Meiniang and the big white legs back then, it can't be changed for a while.
And we left the hanging coffin and arrived at a waterhole, there was no road around, and the waterhole seemed to be very narrow, like a well with a diameter of two meters, and there were many footprints next to the waterhole, because there was a lot of mud around, and a closer look could see the shape of this footprint, which should be the shoes of several adult men, and there were several pairs of women's shoes, the shading of these shoes was very uniform, I said to Yang Qin: "Lift your feet." ”
Yang Qin looked at me in surprise, but finally did it, I only saw that the lines on the soles of his feet were wavy, which was very consistent with the footprints next to the pool, that is, the people here must have entered the water, and there must be a passage in this water.
I told my family about my conjecture, and everyone was very supportive of my guess, so I was the first to go into the water, after all, there was no wetsuit, I could only hold my breath, took a flashlight sealed with a sleeve in my hand, and looked forward while paddling slowly.
Speaking of going into the water, it is because when I was a child, my dad forced me to go into the water every time I got out of school in order to learn to swim, and when I refused to go into the water, he took me off and threw me into the water, let me swim up by myself, and almost drowned in the water again, and then I gradually liked swimming, at that time we were still in the countryside, so among the friends who swam together, my water nature is one of the best.
But at that time there was a rule in the countryside, boys must know water, this is a basic skill like eating and sleeping, who can guarantee that the water will not be intimate contact for a lifetime, at this time in the water shuttle I, but also faintly thanked my father, of course, at that time the countryside had such a harsh requirement is because people believe in the existence of water ghosts, children will not be taken down by water ghosts.
However, what I didn't expect was that there was a deep underwater passage under the pool, and there were fish and shrimp swimming around, but the water was very clear, I could see far away, and I had a rope around my waist, and the rope was about a hundred meters long.
However, the next situation made me dumbfounded, this underwater turned out to be a skeleton with Bai Sensen, next to the skeleton is some rotten and mossy wood pieces, this should be those official errands, but I can see that these coffins have been around for some years, and the coffins are all inserted in the water, most of the coffins have been cracked, become fragmented, the bones inside are still there, stretched out their hands, as if trying their best to survive, the scene is very terrifying.
I was about to speed up when I suddenly felt something grab my ankle, and there were dead bones all around, and I couldn't help but panic, and slowly turned around to find that a skeleton without a head was grabbing my ankle!
I was so frightened that the breath in my mouth spurted out, but at this time I was already in a deep hole under the water, and I was afraid that before I could rise to the surface, I would die of drafting, I didn't care about anything else, I grabbed the mahogany sword on my back, stuffed it into the gap of the bone, and wrenched the bone, it turned out that it was the fingers of the dead man's bones that hooked my trouser leg, I relaxed in my heart, but my chest was very stuffy, as if I was going to suffocate, and hurriedly used my last strength to swim to the depths.
I swallowed a mouthful of water in my lungs, and I wanted to cough it out, but I held it with all my might, because if I coughed it out, I would have to spit out the only breath in my mouth, and I would really have to braid.
I grabbed a rock and dragged myself forward, and finally there was a human-sized surface of water in front of me, and I threw myself out and gulped in the air, when I suddenly felt that air was the most beautiful gift that God had given us.
I was frightened, coughing while inhaling, making my neck swollen, and it took a long time to recover, I pulled the rope on my waist, signaling that the people on the other side could come over, Guan Shanhe came very refreshingly, and came over all of a sudden, but other people were a little unbearable, if I didn't pull the rope on the side, I'm afraid they might not be able to hold their breath and dive.
The fat man in the crowd was the most pitiful, drank several sips of pool water, and when he came ashore at this time, his face turned pale.
Lao Guan re-lit the flame of the horse lantern, he looked around, and suddenly we saw that this place was a stone arch as white as jade, but the surrounding stones seemed to be white marble, but the white marble was all bloodstained, as if a very cruel massacre had been experienced here.
There were also a lot of ant carcasses around the stone arches, and these ants were the same as the ones I had encountered before, all of them the size of bowls, and there were thousands of them, covering almost the entire ground, and the smell of formic acid was everywhere in the air, very pungent and unpleasant, and it made people feel a gagging urge.
If I hadn't tried my best to restrain myself, I was afraid that with the discomfort of diving before, I would have vomited at this moment, and we walked inside, and found that there were some naturally formed Yongdao, Yongdao repeatedly, it was like a maze, we walked for a long time, and suddenly found that we were back in the same place.
There were so many forks in the cavity that the fat man said, "This seems to be an ant's nest." ”
As soon as he said this, an inexplicable atmosphere of terror spread, and I said, "Let's all make a mark, and don't go any further, or we will be trapped and die here." ”
"Let me do it." The fat man said, looking around for traces and said, "Maybe I can find them." ”
In the case of no way now, we can only listen to the fat man, I don't know what the fat man is, but I think that since he has shown such good skills along the way before, at least he is much more experienced than me.
The fat man walked in the front, and as we walked, we suddenly heard a banging sound, as if we were demolishing a building, but also like a heartbeat.
After thinking about it carefully, this heartbeat can't be so loud, I dispelled this idea, but other people also heard the sound, gradually, we came to a slightly spacious stone room, and suddenly saw in the distance was a dense white dome, these domes are the size of a fist, I walked over to take a look, and was shocked to see that the dome is transparent, and there is a deformed body inside, in other words, the transparent shell of the dome can see the embryo inside, and this embryo seems to be a bug, I had a bad feeling in my heart, and I said, "I'm afraid this place is the egg room of ants." ”
"Egg room?" Guan Shanhe walked over and pinched one of the ant eggs in his hand, and suddenly the egg shell broke, and an ant larva covered in white mucus actually broke out of the shell!
The larva was wrapped around Guan Shanhe's hand, the bud-like mouth, was gnawing something, Lao Guan frowned, and immediately threw it to the ground, and trampled it hard, at the same time, I heard a clicking sound, and the larva was trampled into a pulp of meat in the scream.
Guan Shanhe spat out thick phlegm and said: "It's really disgusting, otherwise let's burn it here, these are harmful things." ”
I hurriedly stopped: "If it burns, maybe the whole ant nest here will collapse, and then we will be trapped inside." ”
Lao Guan took out a black timer, and he smiled: "I have a timer!" ”
At this time, Yang Qin was very cooperative and helped Lao Guan take out a gasoline.
I immediately said with a smile: "When did you bring this barrel of gasoline?" ”
"When he came, it was smooth in Lao Liu's car, and he didn't need so much gasoline anyway, didn't he!"
