Chapter 15: Entanglement
"If all you just saw was a hallucination, when did that start?"
Ling San pointed to the corpse toad whose leg had been chopped off, and it seemed that the illusion of the river turning red began when the corpse toad's leg was thrown into the river.
"Now, let's go upstream and have a look? Anyway, I don't dare to cross this river anyway. Qiu lame pinched a cold sweat, this river channel is not only wide, but also full of evil, the water is muddy, and he can't see what scene he can't see.
One after another, everyone is full of fear for this river, this river is like the Styx of the Nine Hells, easily taking lives.
"Then go upstream as planned, and be careful." Ling Sanzhi nodded approvingly.
After the two bigwigs of this team made a decision, the whole team marched upstream according to the original plan.
This time there was nothing unusual, but the upstream road was not easy to walk, after walking for more than half an hour, the river in front of me became narrower and narrower, and the top of the river gradually became lower.
"Stop, it's almost time to shovel upwards here." Zuo Yun was still looking at the surrounding scene, and suddenly spoke.
Senior Brother Zhang Yu, who was carrying Zuo Yun on his back, nodded, carried Zhang Yu to the vicinity of the rock wall, took out a folding shovel from the mountaineering bag he was carrying on the side, and gently tapped it on the rock wall.
Qiu Cripple, Ling Sanzhi, and other good hands also stopped, quietly looking at Zuo Yun and them in front of them.
As long as the thief cave can be opened here, you can return to the ground, take the fourteen burial goods this time, and land safely.
The sound of percussion was crisp and solid, and Zhang Yu's face was difficult to see for a moment.
"No, this is a stone rock, very thick, and it is estimated that you won't be able to get out of the robbery hole from here for a year."
"Since we first came here, I guess it's all rocky, and if the rock and soil structure here wasn't hard enough, it would have collapsed a long time ago."
This basin of cold water was poured directly on the heads of everyone, and everyone was instantly cold.
"In other words, our previous plan to find a vulnerable point from the other side of the river and dig a hole to go up won't work?"
Qiu Cripple was silent for a while, and spoke.
"I'm afraid it won't work, originally I planned to dig a hole along the edge of the gravel block in the upper corner, but I didn't expect the structure to be so compact, and it is estimated that the opposite side of the river is also like this." Zhang Yu shook his head.
"Then change the plan and keep going, you don't notice that the further you go, the narrower the river becomes, and if you follow this trend a little further, I guess you can directly wade through the underground river."
Ling Sanzhi waved his hand reluctantly, interrupting the conversation, and said.
Ling Sanzhi's words made quite sense, and the team continued to move in the direction of the upper reaches.
After another half an hour, the river narrowed and narrowed, until the upper reaches of the river were only 4 meters wide.
"This is it, you can cross the river directly from here, and from here the river becomes shallow enough to see the bottom, and there should be no more moths."
"As long as you cross the river, you will turn back, if you can find a mountain wall on the road that can be used to rob the hole, you can directly retreat along the thief hole, if you can't find it, you can only enter the graveyard on the other side of the river."
Ling Sanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in crossing the narrow river.
Watching Ling Sanzhi step over quickly, I stared at the river tightly.
This river is terribly shallow here, and the deepest part is not above Ling Sanzhi's knees, so this depth is quite safe.
Seeing that Ling Sanzhi had passed, everyone crossed the shallow river one after another.
I also stepped into the river with the back row of the line, the river was not very cold, and there was a little warmth, but the moment I stood in the river, I shuddered, and felt like something dangerous in the river, and immediately stepped wildly across the river.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly felt a sticky and slippery feeling in my legs, and a strong force wrapped tightly around my feet.
Like iron tongs, it was fiercely confined to my legs and kept tightening.
Click..... The joints of my legs clicked, and a break-like pain was conducted rapidly, and in an instant my cold sweat was all over my face.
"Ahh What is it? I screamed, and subconsciously glanced at my right foot, which was obviously nothing, but I could see obvious traces of entanglement and tightening on the trouser leg, and it was still shrinking.
It was as if something I couldn't see was shrinking vigorously, and I frantically tugged at something on my ankle, but I didn't touch anything.
The sharp pain blurred my vision, and the other people were drawn to my screams and looked at me.
"What's wrong? Your legs! "The cripple man's eyes were sharp, and the first thing he saw was the strangulation mark on my right foot.
It would be so painful that I couldn't speak, and I could feel the sweat on my back.
"Don't move him, he should be entangled by something, this strangulation mark is still shrinking, according to this development, it is estimated that it will not be long before this entire ankle will be strangled alive!"
In the midst of the severe pain, I could hear the sound of Ling Sanzhi, and my cold sweat flowed out instantly, and the sweat soaked through my entire clothes.
I don't know what the object contracted tighter and tighter, my eyes were a little black, my eardrums were buzzing, and my consciousness was blurring.
In a daze, his eyes finally turned black and he fainted.
In the dark, I don't know how long it was, I don't know where I went, I could feel my body, but I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't move a little.
It was a blur until a moment before I opened my eyes.
At this time, I found that I was being carried on the back by Fat Xue, and there was a strong tingling sensation in my ankle, but it was not as tight as before.
