Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Underground Black Pool

After falling more than a dozen times, I heard Li Huaishan shouting below: "It's almost the end." ”

I took out two flashlights in turn, the first flashlight was out of power, and the one Li Huaishan gave me was sufficient.

"Next!"

I threw the flashlight to Li Huaishan, which was already unfinished, but this stupid guy reacted a beat slower and didn't catch it.

Li Huaishan looked back at his feet, then looked up at me again, I lit the flashlight, the light shone on his face, and I saw that his face was full of puzzled expressions.

I shook my flashlight: "Go down." ”

Li Huaishan was stunned before he let go of my leg and fell into the bottom of the well.

I looked up again, and the lantern was far away from us, but the shadow behind us still hadn't come in.

After that, I pulled the tooth out of the wall of the well and fell to the bottom of the well.

Li Huaishan bent down, picked up the flashlight from the ground, and asked me puzzled: "It's out of power, why did you throw it at me?" ”

I habitually scratched my temples: "These flashlights are all from Xitangshun, military products, good quality, can be used as weapons." I'm also afraid that there will be dirt under the well, so I will let you use a flashlight to defend yourself. ”

Li Huaishan leaned over again and asked, "You just left the lantern in the well?" Didn't the old man say that the lantern can't leave my hand? ”

I said, "No wonder you just handed me the lantern, you hesitated for a long time, it turned out that you were hesitating about this." ”

Li Huaishan nodded.

I glanced into the well, the light of the lantern was still flickering in the distance, and the thing that followed us still hadn't appeared.

I was sure I didn't ask anything, so I put my hand on Li Huaishan's shoulder and asked him, "Do you believe that old man?" ”

"I don't believe it," Li Huaishan shook his head: "But I thought again, in case what he said is not all false, in case ...... He didn't let me throw down the lantern, was it a good intention? ”

I asked him again, "Then think about it, if you don't hold that lantern, the thing in the back, can you find us?" ”

Li Huaishan scratched his head: "In such a dark place...... Even if you don't have a lantern, you have to use a flashlight. I know what you mean, you're trying to say that that thing is looking for the light to find us. But the flashlight is also light. ”

I got a little impatient, but I tried to hold back and explained to him, "Compared to a flashlight, the lantern has a wide range, but it has a small penetration. Let's light it with a lantern, and as long as that thing is out of the light area, it's hard for us to spot it. Even if you hear its movement and you want to look for it, you can only carry a lantern and walk near the source of the sound to check it, but the guy is too fast for you to catch up with it. But if you use a flashlight for lighting, as long as you hear a sound, turn the flashlight to shine it, and it is very likely that it will appear. ”

Li Huaishan also looked up at the wellhead, and his face was abrupt: "The old man didn't let me put down the lantern, just for this." ”

I nodded: "At first, I couldn't figure out why he wanted you to hold on to the lantern." It was only when I realized that there was something behind me that I gradually figured it out. With the lantern in hand, in order to save electricity, we will definitely not use a flashlight for lighting, so that he can rest assured that the thing will follow. ”

Li Huaishan: "Damn, I suddenly found that you are so smart, you can figure out such a complicated thing." ”

I rolled my eyes: "Clever fart, you're too stupid!" Okay, you, don't be verbose, talking in this kind of place is basically tantamount to looking for death. ”

When I came in, I noticed that the degree of siltation of the Qi field at the bottom of the well was higher than that outside, so after entering the well, I let go of the evil qi on my body and used my Qi field to protect Li Huaishan.

But Li Huaishan didn't take my words seriously at all, and as soon as I finished speaking, he asked again: "What is following us, could it be that old man?" ”

I shook my head: "It shouldn't be him, that thing doesn't have the vitality of a living person, but it also doesn't have corpse gas and yin energy, it seems to be a part of the underground silt, as long as it escapes into the darkness, there is no trace at all." ”

Li Huaishan: "That ......"

Before he could say the second word, I glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!" From now on, you are not allowed to say a word! ”

Li Huaishan was annoyed: "If you don't let me speak, I won't speak?" If not, do you really think of yourself as the boss? ”

I sighed helplessly: "When we first came here, you said yourself, everything is based on me, you can do whatever I ask you to do, what's the matter, now you don't want to admit it?" ”

Li Huaishan hesitated for a long time, and finally shut up.

Finally shut up.

In fact, I knew very well in my heart that once he stopped talking, his mind would soon be affected by the deposition of Qi and become nervous again.

He can be nervous, he can be afraid, but he can't die, and since I have brought him with me, I will bring him back completely.

"The lesser of two evils." , that's what the old man's military book says.

After Li Huaishan was silenced, I pricked up my ears again, quickly found the direction where the sound of water was, and walked over with a flashlight.

In this completely dark environment, it is said that there will be no vegetation, but when I turned the flashlight to light up the ground in front of me, I found that there were large patches of moss-like things on the ground.

In addition, in this "moss", there is still a small amount of dried wormwood.

Looks like someone has been here before us.

Li Huaishan seemed to be very curious about my actions, and he also squatted down like me, picked up a small pinch of moss from the ground and smelled it.

I tapped him on the shoulder and continued walking.

In this large dark space, I could only follow the sound of the water, and no one knew what was beyond the small area illuminated by the beam.

The air became more and more humid, the temperature dropped slightly, but it remained at 367 degrees, and I began to sweat profusely, and my shirt was soaked and the paint was very uncomfortable.

After walking about a kilometer or so, I could feel tiny droplets of water surging in the air, hitting my face and neck.

It felt like standing on the beach, when a high tide crashed on the reef and stirred up a large number of water particles, and Li Huaishan and I were standing near the reef, allowing the broken waves to immerse ourselves.

Li Huaishan quickly came to my side, and was about to speak again, I quickly glared at him, and he was about to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

As I walked on, the water vapor became heavier, and I faintly heard another sound of water.

When the water hits the iron plate, the sound is dull and irritating, but the sound of the water is very crisp, tinkling dong, as if a large amount of water vapor converges into water droplets at the top of the cave and falls into the pool directly below.

Along with this sound, there was a heavy smell of decay.

I stood there for a moment, trying to discern what the breath was coming from, but to no avail.

Then I shook my flashlight, and when I saw the beam pierce through the darkness in front of me, it left a small spot in the air, and when I moved the beam to the right, the beam went straight into the darkness and finally disappeared without a trace.

This means that the road ahead is blocked by a stone wall, while the road on the right is open.

The sound of the water and the impact of the iron plate suddenly became clear, I did not hesitate, immediately quickened my pace, and Li Huaishan quickly followed me.

When the water vapor in the air is so dense that it affects the rhythm of our breathing, a huge pool of water comes into view.

In the dark, the beam of the flashlight shines straight ahead, and you can see that there are bright reflections from time to time ten meters away, and these reflections fall at a very fast speed, and when they fall into the pool, they will emit a series of "dingdong" sounds.

I first took a picture of the top of my head, and there were indeed a lot of upside-down stone stalactites, and the water droplets fell down the peaks of the stalactites.

Given the sheer number of stalactites hanging upside down, and the fact that water droplets fall every two or three seconds, the sound of falling water is said to be more intense.

Then I moved the flashlight and shone it in the center of the waterhole.

In that place, there were a lot of floating objects the size of books, and the light reflected a touch of shine on them, and when the water droplets fell on them, they didn't make a sound.

Unfortunately, it was so far away that I couldn't see what it was.

Coupled with the fact that the water here obscures my sense of smell, I can't be sure of what age the fragrance wafts around the waterhole comes from.

The sound of the water lapping against the iron plate came from the other side of the pool, and we had to swim across it.

I pulled Li Huaishan: "Go into the water, you go ahead." ”

Li Huaishan looked at me with wide eyes, meaning: "Why do you want me to walk in front of me?" ”

I said to him, "If you go ahead, I can save you in case of danger, and if you are behind me, if something pulls you into the water silently, I don't know what is going on." ”

The old couple's classics say that in the waters of the tomb, occasionally encounter a kind of half-corpse and half-ghost water monkey, that thing hides itself under the water, and does not detect the corpse and yin qi on their bodies at all, as long as someone crosses the water, they will appear silently, first use the yin qi to create illusions to confuse the person entering the water, and then silently drag the person into the water to drown.

I also remembered such a paragraph, so I made up my mind and let Li Huaishan go into the water first.

Li Huaishan looked at the black pool, his eyebrows wrinkled several times, and after hesitating for a moment, he went into the water before me.

He entered the pool with his front foot, and I quickly followed.

I can't hide it at this time, as soon as my feet are wet, I immediately spread all the evil qi in my body, and condensed my mental power, holding the flashlight in one hand and the handle of the tooth in the other.

The temperature of the water in the pool is similar to the body temperature of the human body, and it is not too deep, and the water level has been waist-high since you walked through the slope of the bank.

When I was about to reach the center of the pool, Li Huaishan's body suddenly stagnated, I suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly shot at him, and the light spot fell on Li Huaishan's side, and I saw a floating object slowly floating along his waist.

At this time, I also saw clearly that the things floating on the water were a dead baby with a swollen body.

Li Huaishan was obviously startled, standing in place, not moving for a long time, I pushed his back from behind, signaling him not to stop.
