Chapter 56: The Underground River
"Otherworldly entrance? Let's not talk about whether Liu Shenggu is really opened, even if it is true, it is a 1 in 10 million chance. You can open it if you want to, and you can meet it if you want to? I glanced at Boss Taiyi, and then looked at the hexagram on the ground and fell into deep thought.
My gaze naturally attracted the attention of Boss Taiyi, who looked at the hexagram and asked me, "Lao Chen, what does this hexagram mean?" This Pisces hexagram is all yin, isn't it a big evil hexagram? ”
Hearing his unlucky words, I couldn't help but roll my eyes again. "Don't you have a good word? Is it you who interpret the hexagram or who I solve? If you don't understand, don't make a sound, stay honest! ”
"Then I don't understand, you have to say it, just looking at it like this, I'm in a hurry!" Boss Taiyi's eyebrows and eyes were about to wrinkle together, and his curiosity was too heavy to endure the puzzle in front of him.
"What's the hurry? Judging from this hexagram, you are in vain even if you die in a hurry. This is an empty hexagram, a dead hexagram, and there is no indication at all. This hexagram only shows that this is the final place. I had no choice but to tell the truth of the hexagram, and after saying that, I was a little disappointed and decadent.
"The final place? What do you mean? What about the ghosts? There's no reason for that? "Boss Taiyi didn't want to believe my words, but he was helpless to look at his appearance.
"Spirits and ghosts...... I'm afraid it's this coffin corpse full of caves. They gathered a small number of people, coupled with the special geographical environment, condensed the scattered corpse qi, and naturally formed a strong yin spirit qi, which made us all mistake it for a ghost. "I really didn't have anything to say, so I had to make a bold guess.
"Won't you...... Don't we ......"
"Buzz!"
As soon as Boss Taiyi's disappointed words began, suddenly, the cave trembled violently, and then, behind the stone wall full of coffins, there was a loud buzzing sound.
In just a few moments, we looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a crack in the stone wall full of coffins.
As the slit opened wider and wider, the harsh humming sound became thicker and thicker. It was also with the opening of the cracks, the coffins on the stone wall fell one after another, and the chaotic corpses suddenly rolled out of the coffin. For a moment, corpses were strewn all over the place, and the smell of decay was abnormal, and the terrifying aura that could make people stunned spread throughout the cavern.
"Old Chen...... That one...... Run! I was still in shock, but suddenly I heard an exclamation from Boss Taiyi.
I woke up instantly, and hurriedly pushed the coffin used as a boat and rushed to the hard corpse water, intending to escape to Yu Qian's side and quickly slip out.
Boss Taiyi followed me closely, and he was also rowing recklessly in that direction. However, when we were only a third of the way to the pool of the hard corpse, the water suddenly disappeared and dried up, as if it had evaporated out of thin air, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Boss Taiyi and I immediately ran aground, and the coffin and coffin lid all fell to the ground.
"Let's go! With the run! "It's too late to be shocked, it's too late to understand how the hard corpse water suddenly disappeared. Looking at the stone wall, I hurriedly called for Boss Taiyi to escape.
Boss Taiyi jumped out of the coffin lid, and then grabbed my hand, and I also jumped out of the coffin with my strength. At this time, in the cracks of the stone wall, a cool strange wind rolled up, and the strange wind swept the entire cave with a thick icy vapor, and I couldn't help but shiver.
This wind shrouded from top to bottom, and there was a faint tendency to rewind us, and it was precisely because of this that I shouted hard to make Boss Taiyi run away quickly.
However, this strange wind of inversion rolled from the bottom to the top, and the two of us with the coffin were suddenly rolled up and hooked into the air. I didn't even have time to exclaim, and I was pulled to the side of the rock wall in an instant.
Halfway through, my hands with Boss Taiyi were washed away, and by the faint light I only saw Boss Taiyi being rolled up and turning his head, and then one step ahead of me, plunged into the crack in the rock wall.
Actually, I didn't have the right to worry about Boss Taiyi at all, and I myself was dragged into it later, and it was pitch black, and when I rushed over, I only heard a deafening roar, and then my body was cold.
Before I could take a closer look at the other sensations, the wind that was winding around me suddenly disappeared, like a gust of wind. I lost my blessing, and in my panic and bewilderment, I fell straight and vertical.
This scared me to scream, and in my screaming, I seemed to hear the screams of Boss Taiyi, and it seemed that he was also falling like me.
His screaming stopped before me, but I didn't dare to worry about him, I couldn't protect myself now. The hollowness of the fall was literally disintegrating my will, and I was so scared that I only knew that I was screaming, and there was something else there.
"Bang!" I don't know how long it took to fall, I just knew that I was completely frightened, and suddenly I hit the ground, there was a muffled sound, and my mind was empty. There was only one voice in my heart, I was finished, and I was broken into meat sauce.
However, in the next second, I poured two mouthfuls of water in a row, which made my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys cool, and my head that was frightened by the fall was awakened by the ice.
"I'm your uncle! I fell into the groundwater! ”
I exclaimed, and began to paddle desperately to float myself. But in the end, the float floated, but the groundwater was so turbulent that my head was slapped down by the turbulent water.
After several sips of water in a row, my mind was almost confused, but at the last moment, I realized my potential and began to fight hard, paddling with the strength of milk, trying to maintain balance.
The sound of the water was very loud, and I tried to call Boss Taiyi a few times, but the sound of the water made me unable to even hear my own voice, let alone Boss Taiyi.
After shouting a few times and feeling useless, I started to save myself. In a dark underground river like this, if you want to save yourself, you can only paddle to the side. Even if there is no bank, it is very good to be able to touch the stone wall by the river.
I don't have any tools in my hands anymore, my five-money hexagram and yin and yang hexagram have been lost, and now I can only rely on my hands. After pulling for a while, I felt that I couldn't support it, and I was desperately paddling to the side while being washed by the water, and my body was always in a diagonal line to the shore.
Almost on the verge of collapse, I touched the shore. Thankfully, this dark river has a shore. Maybe it's my luck, and maybe the other side isn't the shore.
Even crawling and rolling, I used all my limbs, and it was not easy to roll to the shore and get out of the dark river. It wasn't until I was on the shore that I felt the biting cold, not only to the bones, but also to the cerebral cortex.
He shook his head hard, trying to stay awake. After resting for a while, I started looking for someone to find my way. My backpack was soaking wet, and I had no lighting tools, so I had to dig my hands in the dark and my feet little by little to find my way.
I was washed by the water, and I couldn't even figure out the direction, I only knew the direction of the current, so I just went in the opposite direction.
Touching and walking, kicking and stepping on it, if anyone sees my funny posture, they will probably laugh and pee.
I don't know how far I've walked, I can only feel the sound of the dark river flowing louder and louder, and the mist in the air is getting more and more.
Judging by this, I guess there must be a waterfall or something around here. If it's a waterfall, then I'm miserable, I'm going up against the current, and if there is a waterfall, then sooner or later I'll be dead. Isn't it a fool's dream to find a way?
Just as I was worried, I suddenly felt a soft kick under my feet, which did not look at all like a rocky waterfront.
I can't figure out what it is, but it feels quite tactile, and it doesn't seem to be something harmful to me. I couldn't help it, so I stomped my feet harder, but this time, I felt something under my feet move, and it was quite intense, and I was startled, and I wanted to just retract my feet.
But out of the instinct of self-defense, the moment I closed my foot, I kicked out again. This kick can not only hurt this unknown creature but also distance itself, so why not do it?
But this kick, I seemed to be too hard, and I heard a scream. You must know that this is a turbulent water, so loud that my own voice is hard to hear, and I can still hear the screams, which shows how badly this creature was kicked by me.
When I tried to kick it again, the creature suddenly disappeared, and I didn't notice it when I touched the surroundings, probably because I was afraid of it and ran away. When I was glad not to face an unknown creature, I suddenly became alert, only to feel a headwind rushing against my face.
When I really felt it, a huge hard object hit me directly on the bridge of my nose. At that moment, I only felt mixed smells, and there was a snot-like liquid coming out of my nose and into my mouth, salty.
"What's that? Actually attacking people! I was stunned for a moment, then waved it over. No matter what it is, attack instead of defend, and then talk about it!
I did hit something with this swing, and it was quite soft, and it felt like a hairless creature. It's not wrong to think about it, it's dark underground, and if there are hairy animals, it's really hell.
But by touch, I feel like it's an endothermic species. As I said, this place doesn't see the light of day, it's a cold and humid area all day long, and if you are a constant temperature species, you can't survive, right?
If there are creatures in a place like this, it's also toads, lizards and stuff, right?
Just as I was distracted, the strange thing on the other side actually took the opportunity to kill me. But it should be the same as me, it can't see each other, and can only play blindly. Several times I felt like something flew in front of me and behind my head, but it didn't hit me.
This kind of passive situation is not what I want, of course I have to rebel. Based on the opponent's movements, I estimated its position and rushed forward with a straight hook.
This punch was very smooth, and it hit it again, and I heard the sound of "snap".
"I'll go ......" Faintly, I seemed to hear such a roar, and then a storm of response, I guess my punch provoked it.
In fact, I seemed to be guessing something, but this burst of beating made me scramble and lost any ideas.
I was hit several times, and I felt that my face was swollen, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I kicked it out with one kick regardless of it. Based on my guess and the angle of the kick, I guess I kicked the gold cut line. With a snap, I heard a sound that made me feel comfortable again.
Immediately afterward, a pig-killing wail came to my ears from the other side. I could still hear such a clear scream in such a noisy environment, which shows how accurate and steady my kick is.
