Chapter 36: Strange Birds
"Ah......h
The insects retreated again, but the crisis was not resolved, and the cry of the strange bird was like a baby's cry, resounding throughout the cave, seeping into the abnormal, but also strange and abnormal, and it was not a good kind when you heard it. Sure enough, the next moment, he spread his wings and pounced on the two.
"Get out of the way." Facing the strange bird that suddenly swooped, Jiang Yunheng, who was in a hurry, pushed Qiu Wenwen to the side, but he didn't escape the attack of the strange bird, and his shoulder was scratched by its claws, and the pain was heartbreaking.
"Yunheng!" Qiu Wenwen rushed over and hugged Jiang Yunheng, who was rolling on the ground in pain. "How are you?"
Jiang Yunheng took a long time to recover a little, but he was still in pain and broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't speak.
"Ah......h
The strange bird missed the blow and screamed, and at the same time flapped its wings and rushed towards the two, Qiu Wenwen hugged Jiang Yunheng in fear and buried her face on his shoulder. But just as the claws were about to scratch her back, Jiang Yun turned sideways and blocked her again.
"Yunheng!" Qiu Wenwen cried and called Jiang Yunheng's name, but Jiang Yunheng was already in pain and couldn't even breathe steadily.
"Ah......h
The strange bird let out a third strange cry, as if determined to kill them, and in the blink of an eye it pounced on the two of them.
This time, Jiang Yunheng no longer had the strength to protect Qiu Wenwen, and he couldn't even shout for her to dodge, he opened his mouth and watched the bird's claws beckon towards Qiu Wenwen.
"Ahh
The panicked Qiu Wenwen screamed and danced with her hands, touching something she didn't know what to do, picking it up and throwing it at the strange bird that was flying towards her, hitting the strange bird in front of the door. But this time it didn't do much to it, and the claws shone brightly, still beckoning straight at them. It's just that at this moment, the ground suddenly softened, a big hole appeared, and the two fell down together.
Qiu Wenwen, who was thrown into the ground, sat up from the ground, and her first reaction was to find Jiang Yunheng.
"Yunheng?"
However, I shouted several times in a row and didn't hear a response, but fortunately, this place is brighter than the previous place, and you can see farther away. In a hurry, Qiu Wenwen got up from the ground, and finally found Jiang Yunheng who had passed out in a corner.
Qiu Wenwen rushed to Jiang Yunheng's side and patted his face gently. "Yunheng, wake up."
"Woohoo!" Jiang Yunheng, who woke up, let out a cry of pain and covered his shoulder with his hand. "It hurts."
Qiu Wenwen bit her lip and took off half of Jiang Yunheng's shirt, and when she saw the deep wound there, she subconsciously covered her mouth.
Jiang Yunheng slowly opened his closed eyes. "Don't cry, I'm fine."
Qiu Wenwen's tears fell again. "With such a deep wound, how can it be okay."
Jiang Yunheng struggled to sit up, but as soon as he moved, there was a sharp pain in his back, forcing him to lie back again.
"You've been scratched by a strange bird on your back, don't move." Qiu Wenwen hurriedly stopped crying and helped Jiang Yunheng move his hands and feet to make him lie more comfortable.
After lying down, Jiang Yunheng's eyes turned straight and found that he and Qiu Wenwen were in a stone room, surrounded by several exits that didn't know where to lead. "What kind of place is this!"
Qiu Wenwen had just finished crying, her nose was still a little confused, and she was angry when she spoke. "When the big bird attacked us, a hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and we both fell here."
"Holes?" Jiang Yunheng's eyes rolled again, and when he turned to a wall, he suddenly propped up his head. "Wenwen, look at the wall."
Qiu Wenwen wiped her nose and looked over the wall. "It seems to be an inscription."
Jiang Yunheng asked her, "Do you see if you can understand?" ”
Qiu Wenwen stood up, walked to the wall, scanned all the words, and returned to Jiang Yunheng in a decadent manner. "It's all ancient literature, although I studied ancient literature, but I'm only a sophomore, so I didn't learn these at all."
"It's okay, I think I know where this is."
"Huh?" Qiu Wenwen looked at Jiang Yunheng blankly, and found that he was looking behind her, so she turned around and saw three big words on the wall there. "Mosa?"
"Huh!" Jiang Yun pulled the wound when he laughed sideways, and gasped. "It's really a mound."
Qiu Wenwen was puzzled: "Isn't the tomb in Anyang?" How did it end up here? ”
Jiang Yun shook his head. "If Xiao Zhen is still there, we can also ask her, now, we should think about it, if this is really a tomb, it is a tomb, or a big tomb, how to get out."
In ancient times, especially in ancient times, the eunuchs and emperors were never stingy with the resting place, and they were all large and wide. Qiu Wenwen is a student of ancient literature, these naturally know, they are not touching the golden captain, they don't know the ability to explore the hole, to find the exit, it is really not ordinary, thinking about it, I can't help crying again. "We really can't get out."
Jiang Yunheng endured the pain and sat up, panting to comfort Qiu Wenwen. "Don't cry, let's look and see, maybe we can find a gap."
Qiu Wenwen sobbed: "The teacher said that at that time, when people built tombs, there was only one entrance and exit, even if the craftsmen secretly left a secret mouth, it was in a very secret place, and it was impossible for us to find it." ”
Jiang Yun raised his head sideways and looked at the place where they had fallen. "It's so high, we can't go up."
Qiu Wenwen sobbed even more. "What if you can go up? There are insects and strange birds and snakes on it, and our fur is lost, and if we go up, we will die. ”
Jiang Yunheng sighed. "So we can't go back, we can only go forward."
"Before, how before? There is a mouth in one direction here, which side is considered to be forward? ”
Jiang Yunheng held Qiu Wenwen's hand and patted it to reassure, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Wenwen, do you think this place is particularly bright."
Qiu Wenwen wiped her tears, so that her hazy eyes could see more clearly, and said in a crying voice: "What about Liangtang?" ”
Jiang Yun looked at the three big characters on the mound, and then found a piece of Zeze shining. "Over there, is it water?"
Qiu Wenwen stopped sobbing and looked over there as well. "Seems to be."
Jiang Yun stretched out his head horizontally and looked: "The light seems to come out of that water." ”
Qiu Wenwen straightened up. "It looks like it's coming out of the water."
"I'll take a look." Jiang Yunheng wanted to stand up after speaking, but he didn't want to touch the wound. "Shhh
"Don't move." Qiu Wenwen stopped Jiang Yunheng and asked him to sit down. "I'll take a look."
"Wenwen!" Looking at Qiu Wenwen, who was staggering towards the water's edge, thinking of the human bones fished out of the water above, she couldn't help but panic, and she just endured the pain on her body and got up and followed.
When Jiang Yunheng caught up, Qiu Wenwen had already arrived at the water's edge, and she was looking at the glowing objects in the water in a daze. "It's like fish scales."
"How can there be fish scales here?" After Jiang Yunheng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, hesitated when he touched the water, and then leaned in.
Qiu Wenwen nervously watched Jiang Yunheng fishing around in the water, afraid that he would fish out something scary. Luckily, this time when he withdrew his hand, it wasn't a human bone or a strange object, but a handful of glowing scales. "It's really fish scales."
Jiang Yun raised his hand horizontally in front of his eyes. "I don't know if it's a fish scale, but I'm sure it's a living thing."
Qiu Wenwen shrank down. "Could it be some kind of monster again?"
Jiang Yun shook his head. "With such small scales, the owner shouldn't be too big."
Knowing that it was not a monster, Qiu Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know what it's going to live here."
"It doesn't matter what you have." Jiang Yunheng threw the scales in his hand back into the water. "Such small scales can illuminate this place so brightly, there must be a lot of accumulation under the water, and the thing that sheds these scales must have lived here for a long time."
Qiu Wenwen asked, "What does this have to do with us finding an exit?"
Jiang Yunheng said: "Stagnant water doesn't feed living creatures, and even if it does, it can't be raised for so long." ”
Qiu Wenwen gradually figured out what Jiang Yunheng meant. "You mean, there's a water source?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yunheng nodded. "If we follow this water, maybe we can get out, anyway, stay here and wait for death, it's better to try our luck."
Qiu Wenwen wiped her sleeve on her face twice. "Okay, listen to you."
Now the two of them are already at the end of their strong crossbows, and they have stumbled and embarrassed along the way.
Qiu Wenwen held on to the wall with one hand and put the other hand on Jiang Yunheng's arm. "Yunheng, I can't do it, I can't walk anymore."
Jiang Yunheng was not much better than Qiu Wenwen, his open mouth was only enough to breathe, and it took a long time to say a word. "Can't stop, hold on a little longer."
Qiu Wenwen closed her eyes. "I'm so thirsty."
Jiang Yunheng looked around, dragged his tired body to the water next to him, and bowed a handful of water. "I don't know if I can drink this water."
Qiu Wenwen also followed, bowed the water and drank it, Jiang Yunheng wanted to stop it, but when his hand was stretched out halfway, he retracted it, and also bowed the water and began to drink. In today's situation, suffering is death, and the water full of bones on it has been drunk, which is not bad.
After the two drank the water, Qiu Wenwen began to wash her face with water, and suddenly retreated sharply as she washed.
Jiang Yunheng asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiu Wenwen stared at the water. "There's something swimming in the water."
Jiang Yunheng picked up a stone from the ground, and then walked step by step to the place where Qiu Wenwen was just staying, and looked down.
"Whoa!"
"Hmm!"
The splash came to his face, and even the clothes on Jiang Yunheng's chest were soaked, and he subconsciously retreated.
"Yunheng." Qiu Wenwen was afraid to hold Jiang Yunheng's arm.
Jiang Yunheng was silent for a while, and smashed the stone in his hand against the water. Then there was a splash, and a fish jumped out of the water, made an arc in the air, and fell back into the water. "It should be the owner of these scales in the water."
Qiu Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but wonder. "Its fins are so big, they are like wings."
Jiang Yun wiped the water on his face. "The creatures that can survive in this place must not be ordinary species, don't say that the fins are as big as wings, even if it really grows wings and flies, it is not strange."
"Whoa!"
As soon as Jiang Yunheng's voice fell, the sound of the water started again, and it was the fish just now, jumping out of the water, but this time, after coming out, it didn't fall back into the water, and directly fanned its wing-like fins and flew away.
"It's it, it's ......," Qiu Wenwen was speechless as she pointed to the fish that flew away.
Jiang Yunheng was also surprised, but in addition to being surprised, he didn't forget that the two were now finding a way out, and pulled Qiu Wenwen's arm with one hand. "Follow it."
The fish kept flying forward, as if it knew that it was followed by two people, sometimes slowly, sometimes urgently, always allowing the two of them to find its traces. Until he reached a huge stone chamber, he jumped into the water and disappeared.
"Where is this?"
Jiang Yunheng didn't answer Qiu Wenwen's words, and looked around. "I kind of understand why we can't catch up with that light."
Qiu Wenwen asked, "Why?" ”
"It's all phosphorus fire, it's not that we can't catch up, but when we get closer, it's like melting into the air, and we've been surrounded by phosphorus fire all the time."
Qiu Wenwen pursed her lips and shrunk: "Phosphorus fire, most of them appear around the rotting corpses. ”
"Yes, so you see." Jiang Yun pointed to the front with his hand.
