Chapter 208: Tide boiling
Wu Lin and I soon had a full layer of oil on our bodies, and it felt slippery, and the pores on our bodies were all blocked at once, and it was so uncomfortable.
Wu Lin, who was walking in front of me, was shining all over his body, especially his back, like a metal plate that had been thrown through the light.
Later, the oil floating in the air began to drill into our eyes and nostrils again, and I still knew for the first time that the oil was spicy for the eyes, and the inner and outer eyelids were dry and painful and swollen, and finally I had no choice but to squint my eyelids and wipe them on my eyes from time to time with the lining of my clothes, so that I could barely see what was nearby.
In fact, compared to the nose, the eyes are quite comfortable, at that time I felt like mud was injected into the nasal cavity, and every time I inhaled, the slimy oil went straight into my brain, and I had a headache after a while.
At first, you do think that the grease on your body is slippery, but as they become more and more, the armpits and neck are like glue, and they are very sticky, and if you move your shoulders and twist your head slightly, you will feel very nauseous.
I remember that I talked to Wu Lin about this experience again, and he also said that the feeling at that time was similar to the feeling of not taking a bath for more than half a year and sweating under the sun.
I don't know what it's like to go without a shower for half a year, but I do know that sweating in the scorching sun is never pleasant.
Even though he was covered in a thick layer of oil, Wu Lin didn't slow down, and I could guess that he was in a hurry now, and if the two of us didn't leave this tunnel within a certain time, the consequences would probably not be as simple as being covered in grease.
I followed him like this for a long time, and then I noticed that the oil on my body was thinning and softening.
In fact, when these oils first hang on our bodies, they are also thin and soft, but as they become thicker and thicker, the layer that presses on our skin becomes a semi-congealed paste.
When I saw that the grease had melted again, I thought it was because of the intense activity and the increase in body temperature, but when the grease attached to my body ran down my trouser legs, I realized that the temperature in the tunnel was much higher than before.
Due to the fact that I have eaten the Ice Silkworm Gu, my ability to perceive the heat has decreased, and at this time, I only feel that my shoulders exposed to the fat are stuffy, and generally as long as this feeling occurs, the temperature in the air has exceeded at least forty degrees.
At this time, I remembered that Wu Lin once said: "If you don't want to become a boiled king, leave quickly!" My heart sank suddenly.
And Wu Lin's voice appeared in front of him sooner or later: "The tide is coming, we have to hurry!" โ
What does it mean that the tide is coming?
This question flashed quickly in my mind, and then I took all my steps and followed Wu Lin through the tunnel.
I thought he was already the fastest when he ran just now, but I didn't expect him to be able to accelerate at this time, and I had to use all my strength to catch up with him.
No matter how he accelerated, Wu Lin kept maintaining the posture just now, his palm was still pressed against the stone wall, and he moved his fingers from time to time, as if he was looking for something on that wall.
Seeing that the temperature was getting higher and higher, I was anxious, so I yelled at him: "Run, don't fumble!" โ
Wu Lin immediately replied: "If you miss that door, you and I will be finished!" โ
I was bent on getting out of the tunnel as soon as possible, and I didn't carefully figure out what he meant, anyway, even if he raised an arm, I could barely keep up with him with all my might, so I just didn't talk nonsense anymore and concentrated on running.
In fact, since a long time ago, Wu Lin has been panting, this guy is really fast, but his endurance is still a few percent worse after all, and if he continues to run like this, I estimate that his lungs will explode sooner or later.
But now in this situation, I can't stop him, the lungs can be blown up and he can recover, but if the temperature rises again, Wu Lin and I will have to be steamed.
After accelerating, Wu Lin's breath became more and more unable to keep up with the rhythm of the footsteps, and it didn't take long for me to feel that his wheezing sound was suddenly muffled, and then when he was panting, there was a series of "hada" sounds in his throat, and the movement was like pulling the bellows too hard, directly breaking the box skin.
I thought that Wu Lin's lungs must have a problem, so I shouted at him: "You stop first!" โ
You stop, I'll carry you on my back! I've only said the first half of the sentence.
Wu Lin didn't respond, just raised his hand and pointed straight up.
As I ran, I craned my neck and looked overhead, and I saw that the top of the tunnel was covered with crystal clear liquid, and the largest ones were already falling in my sight.
The oil vapor in the air was so heavy that it didn't form oil droplets at the top of the tunnel, and I guessed that it was probably because the temperature at the top of the tunnel was so low that the grease vapor fell back before it could rise.
The liquid that gathered at the top of the tunnel at this point should not be grease, but something else.
As soon as I thought this, two drops of liquid the size of beans fell from above, and I was worried that this thing would be corrosive, so I immediately turned sideways to dodge.
But at this moment, more liquid fell, and I couldn't dodge, and my shoulders and the top of my head were drenched.
Fortunately, this is not some acidic liquid, but a little oil star water, and its temperature is roughly estimated to be about 60 degrees Celsius.
I didn't feel too hot, but Wu Lin's body shook two or three times in a row, and the sound of breathing from his mouth became scattered at this moment.
Now Wu Lin is determined to hurry up and rush forward, even if he is drenched in hot water, he does not slow down.
Within a few seconds of this, the tunnel was occupied by steam, and the thick mist almost completely blocked my vision, and Wu Lin's footsteps sounded a meter in front of me, but I couldn't see his back.
Also in order not to blind myself, I immediately practiced the Divine Concentration Technique.
The quicksand, all the details in the tunnel are outlined by the steaming Qi field, the outline of Wu Lin running, the ear lamps on both sides of the tunnel, and the water droplets that keep falling from the top of my head, all clearly show in my mind.
And beyond that, I could "see" something coming towards me in the distance, and I couldn't see what it was because it was so far away.
Wu Lin accelerated again, the frequency of his legs alternating became faster, and the rate of his breathing became more and more chaotic.
I chased after him as hard as I could, staring ahead to see what we were pouring into.
Before I could see it, I heard a "snoring" and "gurgling" sound in my ears, which seemed to be ...... Boiling water poured into the tunnel like a tidal wave.
I don't have to look any further, I finally know what that mass of churning and flowing in the distance is.
Boiling water, is boiling water!
It looks as if it's far away from us, but the surface of the water moves very fast.
No matter how strong Wu Lin and I are in self-healing, if the meat of the whole body is cooked, it will only be a dead end, and it seems that we are really going to become boiled kings.
The tide is coming, so that's what it means.
At that time, Wu Lin must have known that the boiling water was rushing towards us, but he didn't mean to retreat at all, and was still trying his best to rush in the direction of the boiling tide.
I looked at Wu Lin's silhouette, and I was secretly scolding in my heart that this kid was definitely dying, but the steps under my feet did not become smaller at all, and I still bit the one-meter distance between me and him, not daring to let myself fall.
No matter how Wu Lin's personality changes, I don't think he is a person who spares his life, this guy dares to rush at the boiling tide, and he must have a reliable calculation in his heart.
The faster the two of us ran, the faster the boiling tide approached us.
It didn't take long for me to see the wisps of rich water vapor rising from the boiling water, and I could see the blisters on the surface of the waterโthe distance between the boiling water and us was less than ten meters.
Wu Lin was running well, but just when the two of us were about to finish, he slipped and fell down as if he was about to fall into a well.
I was so focused on the boiling water that I didn't notice him for a while, but I didn't expect him to be lying on the ground.
I was in a hurry, and the speed was too fast, I couldn't brake the car, my calf pressed heavily on Wu Lin's shoulder, and my body leaned forward suddenly, and I was about to fall headlong.
Seriously, at that moment I really thought I was finished, and what appeared in my mind at this time turned out to be the poached eggs that Yan Yanan made for us every morning.
It is said that at the last moment before death, one of the most cherished things in this life will appear in my mind, and I don't know why this thing appeared in my head for the first time.
The next moment, I felt someone kick me in the chest, and instead of going forward, I lay on my back on the ground, the back of my head rising.
Before the immobilization technique was gone, in the quicksand, I saw Wu Lin get up from the ground at a very fast speed, he rushed to the left wall of the tunnel, and actually stuck his fingers into the wall.
Seeing this scene, my almost stunned brain immediately came to its senses.
Wu Lin said just now that if we miss that door, the two of us will really be finished.
I finally understood what he meant, and he was trying to say that there was a secret door in the stone wall.
At this time, Wu Lin stretched out his arm, as if he wanted to lift something on the wall, but the thing was too tightly inlaid to shake it with his strength.
Seeing that the boiling water was less than five meters away from us, I quickly got up and stuck my finger on the wall.
Sure enough, on the wall, there was indeed a gap two inches wide, but there was no Qi field flowing near the gap, and I couldn't see it in the quicksand of Daqi at all.
Under Wu Lin's efforts, the edge of the gap was already a little loose, and I relied on it to pull hard, and suddenly a piece of door panel-like thing on the wall was lifted up.
