Chapter Seventy-Three: Harassing Telephone Calls 18
The black in front of him was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, like a wet cloth tightly wrapped around his eyes. The deadly aroma followed him like a shadow, as if an invisible prison enveloped Luo Zhen.
He slowly stepped back, his hands gripping the flashlight tightly. Luo Zhen desperately suppressed his urge to turn on the switch, he was afraid that he would suddenly see the monster's bloody mouth, and then he might not even have the courage to escape.
The flashlight slipped and almost fell to the ground. Luo Zhen's heart was like being thrown up, and when he half-squatted and grabbed the flashlight again, he felt that his palms were completely wet, and the coldness made him tremble.
He almost suffocated.
His feet were completely submerged in the water, but he didn't feel cold at all, he just wished he couldn't get into it with his whole body.
Hiss –
A creepy sound came from the front, at first hearing it like hundreds of bells vibrating in unison, and then hearing it like countless poisonous snakes screaming with their heads raised. Luo Zhen immediately had countless goosebumps all over his body.
Suddenly, two small golden dots appeared in front of them.
He turned and ran.
The splash of water under his feet immediately splashed his face, like a hundred and ten thin needles piercing his skin at the same time. Ignoring the pain in his chest, let alone the cold of his legs, Luo Zhen turned on the flashlight and desperately ran along the tributary of the underground river under his feet towards the depths of the fork hole.
The hiss behind him was even louder, like a shadow attached to the bones. Luo Zhen heard the sound of countless fine stones being trampled and splashed, and his goosebumps were about to fall, how many feet does this fire Hu Chaen have?
Luo Zhen didn't dare to turn back, let alone stay. The space in front of me is getting bigger and bigger, and the water flow under your feet is getting wider, but it's not deep enough, and you can barely reach your knees.
Luo Zhen gasped for breath, laboriously rotating his legs in the water, his whole body was soaked, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or sweat.
Suddenly, the sound of the splash suddenly became smaller, but the echo was distant and ethereal. The pillar of flashlight in front of him became very long, extending halfway as if it had been sucked away by the darkness, and farther away, a faint orange light appeared on the ground.
A huge underground lake comes into view.
Luo Zhen, who was already exhausted, shook his heart and almost threw himself into the darkness in front of him. But he felt that the hissing behind him suddenly became sharper, and the sound of the small footsteps suddenly stopped, and then his waist tightened, and a strong force dragged him back, and a strong and choking aroma almost fainted him.
Luo Zhen fell on the surface of the river with a "snap", and in a moment, he hugged a broken stone pillar with the thickness of an arm next to him, and in a panic, the flashlight rolled down to the side, and the pillar of light shot straight behind him.
Luo Zhen felt that his waist was about to break, and his hands were painful from the chrome on the surface of the unsmooth pillar. The hissing sound was endless, and then there was a snap, and Luo Zhen felt another soft whip-like thing wrapped around his waist again, and his whole body was pulled off the ground, like a straight rubber band.
Whew-whew-
Luo Zhen's entire brain was roaring, sweat was dripping down like raindrops, and his heart was about to burst.
"I'm going to die and I'm going to die!"
Thinking so, he lowered his head and mustered up the courage to look behind him.
The first thing I saw was two whitish ropes wrapped around my waist, stretched straight and straight, and if I looked closely, the ropes seemed to be translucent, with slightly blue veins inside. Looking along these two white ropes, Luo Zhen saw a huge and slightly flattened gray-white body in midair, with two golden giant eyes inlaid at the top, and there was a net-like structure in those eyes. The monster's back was also faintly glowing with golden light, flickering and dimming.
Looking at it again, Luo Zhen's scalp exploded. I saw the edge of the cone-shaped flashlight beam, and in the shadows on both sides of the cave wall, there were more than a dozen giant feet as thick as bamboo looming. The giant foot bends in the middle, arching its body to form a flattened hexagon with the ground.
This... Is this a big white centipede? But centipedes don't seem to have such long tentacles, do they?
Luo Zhen's blue tendons burst out on his forehead, the pain of the tear in his armpits, and the oppressive feeling caused by the tightening of the tentacles on his waist made him extremely conscious, and he desperately resisted the strange power of the white giant worm.
A tug-of-war is in full swing, but for Luo Zhen, losing is equivalent to death.
As the minutes passed, Luo Zhen felt like the end of a strong crossbow, his strength was being withdrawn from his body at an extremely fast speed, and he was about to lose his breath.
"Uh-"
He roared, fear, unwillingness, regret, helplessness, these emotions swept over him like a mountain in a moment, and his tears, snot and saliva poured out. In the end, all emotions turned into deep despair and choked him tightly.
Just when he was about to be forced to let go, the survival ** and the remaining reason sparked a spark in his brain like an electric needle.
Speaking of which, the giant white worm could have swooped up and sucked him dry, but it didn't, it just dragged him back desperately. The white tentacles on his waist didn't pierce his clothes or skin. This says at least two things –
First, the bug has to pull itself to its side in order to suck blood. Second, the bugs are afraid of something.
"Chahuo Huchahn especially hates water!" Tian Xiaogang's voice echoed in his ears.
Wrong! Luo Zhen realized that this was not the case, because he was above the water, and the splash just now must have splashed on the tentacles of the giant insect, but the giant insect did not react at all. And when he was chasing just now, he also heard the sound of insect feet stepping on the water, which is enough to show that Chahuo Huchaen is not afraid of water at all.
So, what exactly is it afraid of?
Luo Zhen desperately raised his head, looking at the darkness in front of him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.
Chahucha is afraid of the underground lake in front of him, it must be so! Because with his position, he only needs to pass through the hole composed of dozens of stone pillars in front of him, and he can directly enter the lake.
Why should it be afraid of underground lakes?
Luo Zhen didn't have time to think about this anymore, he knew that his limit had been reached. So, he opened his mouth with the last strength and roared desperately the last sound of his life.
"Ahh
But the roar was not over, he felt a whirlwind suddenly rise around him, and then a hand covered his mouth. Hearing only two "pops", Luo Zhen felt his waist loosen, and then he slammed into the cold water.
Hiss hiss –
The white worm's chirping became unusually high-pitched, and the sound of tiny footsteps became intense.
Luo Zhen's whole body was numb, his head was still drowsy after choking on two mouthfuls of water, and he felt that another hand grabbed his collar and pulled it forward, he was completely out of strength, and he could only be at the mercy of others.
The man took him only a few steps before stopping, throwing him against a stone pillar. Luo Zhen coughed violently, only to hear a familiar voice coming from behind him-
"Zhenwazi, do you want to die? If we surprise the things in the lake, none of us will want to get out alive! ”
Tang Break?!
