Chapter 179: The Underwater Shadow (Second Watch)
"High Priest? What high priest? Professor Liang asked with some puzzlement.
Then I remembered that Professor Liang didn't know what I was going through, and they hadn't heard of the high priest.
So I explained, "Don't worry, these bloody handprints on my back have been pressed by something like a monkey, and although they are very dexterous, they are very weak in their own right, and if they fight me head-on, they will not be enough for me to clean up." ”
"Since you're so powerful, you're going to be attacked by them?" Liang Shuang sneered and sarcastically.
"The High Priest, their master, is here to make us panic, and if I'm not mistaken, he doesn't want to let us into the cave, but that's okay, if you don't go in, I'll clean them up by myself."
"Alright, you can go alone. We'll just wait here for help. Liang Shuang said coldly.
I was just about to agree, but my heart suddenly sank: no, the high priest knows that I am not afraid of him and the ghost boy, even if this creates panic in the team, I will still enter the cave to chase the corpse demon.
Could it be that he was trying to make the rest of the team disagree with me? Let's separate and start with these archaeological team members? Aren't we falling into his trap like this?
I hurriedly told everyone what I thought, and Professor Liang also frowned: "You mean, if we are separated from you, our lives will be in danger?" ”
"Yes. Those ghost boys are vulnerable in front of me, but to ordinary people, they are monster-like existences, so you'd better follow me, so as not to be harmed by those ghost boys. ”
Before Professor Liang could make a decision, Liang Shuang had already said sarcastically in a cold voice: "I think you are scared and want to pull us to give you courage, right?!" Otherwise, you want to trap us and use us as cannon fodder, there must be something strange about that cave, whoever likes to go will go, anyway, I will wait here for rescue. ”
I was speechless.
This is the evil consequence of losing the trust of others, once you lose trust, no matter what you say, the other party will think that you have other purposes, even if you are for the sake of everyone, others will consider everything on the dark side.
In the end, I could only say helplessly: "Professor Liang, I really want to be safe for everyone, you haven't fought with the ghost boys, I don't know that their evil is terrible, I suspect that the ghost boys were transformed by the corpses they eaten, maybe the high priest wants to wait for us to separate, sneak attack you, so that you can also become his ghost boy's subordinates." ”
Professor Liang wanted to agree immediately, but when he turned his head and saw that his students were all skeptical, he could only shake his head, sigh, and say, "Wash and cook first, and after breakfast, we will discuss what to do next." ”
This breakfast was really depressing, the taste of this compressed food was not good, plus I was in a bad mood, and after a few bites, I put down the lunch box in my hand.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, Professor Liang, who was sitting next to me, lowered his voice and asked me, "Ji Zang, what is the matter with the bloody handprints on your body?" Did you really fall asleep last night? It's fine if you fall asleep, but if you don't fall asleep and have your handprint pressed, then the other party is terrible. ”
I shook my head helplessly and said: "I fell on the road last night, just a blink of an eye, the sky will be bright, I don't know what method the other party used, but one thing is certain, that is, the other party does not dare to do it in front of me, otherwise you would have had an accident a long time ago." ”
After thinking about it carefully, Professor Liang nodded: "After dinner later, I will gather them together and have a good chat with them." Let them follow you. Do you have to go into that cave, though? ”
"I have to go in, it's a bit risky to go in this way, but if I don't, once the corpse demon recovers from his injuries and escapes, the situation will be even more dangerous."
After thinking about it, I added: "Professor, in fact, it is also dangerous for me to go into the cave, if I want to survive, it is best to wait here for rescue, anyway, the enemy will not attack me, the reason why I take the risk is not for myself, but for everyone." ”
Professor Liang was obviously moved by my words, and his face turned red: "Ji Zang, I believe in you, I will tell you later, I will go to the cave with you." I'm their teacher, and they'll all listen to me. ”
Facts have proved that in the face of life and death, let alone teachers, even the identity of parents does not work, after Professor Liang said the pros and cons. Most of the students said they would like to follow us to the cave deep in the valley, but Liang Shuang and the boy who helped him said they would stay here and wait for rescue.
"Liang Shuang, Yao Haifeng, why are you two so ignorant! I've analyzed it all with you, since there are strange things in this valley. No matter where it is, there is danger, follow Ji Zang's side, he can at least protect us, you stay here, you are not afraid of being killed by those monsters? Professor Liang said angrily.
"Teacher, don't talk about it. You've been fooled by this guy.,Those monsters are coming at him.,It's the most dangerous thing to follow him.,Anyway, I'm going to go to you.,I'm not going.。 Liang Shuang and Yao Haifeng were still unmoved.
A similar conversation lasted for more than an hour, and Professor Leung spoke with a dry mouth. Blood pressure is high, but the two of them are reluctant to follow everyone together, so in desperation, we can only set off, leaving Liang Shuang and Yao Haifeng here.
"These two children, especially this Liang Shuang. Because it's my own family, I usually take good care of him, but I didn't expect to even listen to my advice at this time. "It's been a long way out, and Professor Liang still has a sad expression.
"Professor, don't think about this, we still have to hurry, save more energy. When you get deeper into the valley, you won't necessarily have any problems. ”
Along the way, the team was quite silent, although the other students also came along, but it was the result of Professor Liang's persuasion, and those students did not have a good face towards me. Yesterday you could talk and laugh with me, but today you completely treated me as air.
Although the valley is a bit large, because the terrain inside is relatively flat, we came to the depths of the valley where the cave is located at four o'clock in the afternoon.
But when I got closer, I was dumbfounded. The cave is far behind the waterfall, and there is no road to get through, so how can you go in and hunt down the corpse demon? The two students said they had gone in before, but how did they get in?
I turned my head to look at the two boys with suspicion, and the two boys said with ugly faces, "There was a natural stone bridge leading to the entrance of the cave here, and we don't know why it disappeared." ”
I took a closer look. Sure enough, I saw the traces of broken stones, and I suddenly understood in my heart that this was probably the hand of the high priest again, maybe he directly ordered the ghost boy to do it, or it could be that the boulder on the cliff fell down, causing a small earthquake, causing the originally weathered natural stone bridge to collapse.
Could it be that this is to protect the corpse demons who are still in the cave?
The cave is behind the waterfall, four or five meters from the waterhole, don't underestimate the height of these four or five meters, those rocks have been washed by the waterfall for many years, and they have become smooth. Even if you come to a professional rock climber, you may not be able to climb it, not to mention that there is a waterfall above it.
And if you want to enter the cave directly from this side, you have to cross at least a distance of nearly ten meters, and this distance can only be jumped by the light masters in martial arts dramas, and no one can do it in reality.
Look at the cave behind the waterfall. The crowd looked at me, I looked at you, and finally focused their eyes on me.
"Ji Zang, what should I do? If we can't get in, should we go back the way we came? Professor Liang asked.
"I'll try it and see if I can climb up. How many climbing ropes are there, right? Tie one to me, and if you see that I can't do it, pull me up. I gritted my teeth.
I had reached this point, and I could never give up, and my idea was to jump straight into the pool and swim to the opposite side. See if there's a way to climb up. Wait until you enter the cave, and then find a way to build a passage with a climbing rope and let everyone follow you.
"How sure are you? It's not fun, and if you make a mistake, you'll die. Professor Liang said with concern.
"Don't worry, no problem."
I said this in my mouth, but I didn't have any score in my heart, I had never climbed a rock before, let alone this kind of difficult rock climbing, with the constant impact of the water.
I took a rope from the archaeologists and fastened one end to a tree on this side and the other end to my waist.
I have taken off my clothes, leaving only one pants, if it weren't for the girls in the team, I wouldn't even want to wear pants, because the resistance of the clothes in the water is too great, and I have to carry the waterfall up to reduce the resistance. Just try to reduce one point.
Standing on the rocks on the edge of the waterhole, I took a deep breath and jumped into the water in a beautiful diving position, and the moment I jumped into the water, I felt that my whole body was wrapped in a loud noise, which was the loud sound of the waterfall falling.
I jumped. The water is a little deep, and my hand seems to have touched something, I closed my eyes and subconsciously reached out to grab it, as if it was fabric, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that there seemed to be a faint figure shaking nearby, which scared me into a spirit, so I quickly drilled into it.
When I came to the water, I realized that I was still holding a piece of fabric in my hand, and I pulled it hard, it was a hiking jacket.
I swam to the shore, found a place to stand, and unfolded the mountaineering jacket, and immediately someone on the shore exclaimed: "This is Yao Haifeng's clothes." ”
What's even more terrifying is that there is a big hole in the front and back of the left chest of the mountaineering suit, the size of a human fist, and the hole on it is obviously like a monster's claw.
Something happened! That's the first thought that pops into my head.
