Chapter 103: Falling into the Abyss
Liang Houzai's expression was very nervous at that time, and I saw that there was cold sweat on his forehead, and he stretched out his hand to pull me, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
When the two of them grabbed my wrist, I smiled at Liang Houzai: "I'm fine, but it's a pity that I let that captive escape." ”
As I spoke, they had pulled my entire upper body out of the water, but it was at this point that the undercurrent beneath the river suddenly became extremely turbulent.
I felt a very strong force clamping my legs and pulling me to the bottom of the river.
Liang Houzai and Liang Zi also felt this force, I saw Liang Zi holding me with one hand, and the other hand stretched out to a small tree next to the river, but the power under the river came too suddenly, Liang Zi didn't wait to spread his arms, he heard two muffled sounds of "plop, plop", and he and Liang Houzai fell into the water almost at the same time.
At that time, Senior Brother Zhuang was next to Liang Zi, and he stretched out his hand to hold Liang Zi, but Liang Zi's fall was too fierce, and Senior Brother Zhuang couldn't hold it.
The undercurrent was surging, and the three of us were swept to the bottom of the river at the same time, and in the face of such a turbulent undercurrent, the three of us could not rush to the surface of the river even if we used all our strength.
But at the same time as the undercurrent suddenly became stronger, the water under the river unexpectedly became clearer than before, and I could see that two meters away there was a hole in the dark, and near the mouth hung several hooks, on which were very thick ropes.
You don't have to think about it to know that this hole is the entrance to the tomb of the dragon king.
Master must have a reason for not letting me in, but as far as the situation at that time is concerned, if I didn't go in, I would definitely be drowned in the river of Erlong Bay.
I hurriedly pulled on the beam and swam towards the hole.
The more I got from the hole, the more rapid the undercurrent became, and I wanted to hold on to a rope and slowly probe into the hole, but when I was still three or four steps away from the hole, the suction from the undercurrent made me unable to control my body, and I was sucked into the hole in the blink of an eye.
Then it was pitch black in front of my eyes, I was hovering in the water and sinking, and when I entered the hole, my left hand hit the wall of the cave, and the sharp pain made me let go of my fingers, and Liang Zi's wrist slipped out of my palm, and now my right hand is still holding Liang Houzai.
I can't tell you how long this sinking process lasted, but when I couldn't hold my breath immediately, the water around me suddenly disappeared, and then I felt like my whole body was weightless, my hair and clothes all floated upward, and slowly, my five internal organs seemed to reach my chest cavity and wanted to squeeze out of my mouth.
My stomach was churning and my mind was dizzy, and at first I didn't even react to what was happening, until I looked at my feet, and I saw a faint light that was far away from me, and by these lights I saw huge stalactites passing by me quickly.
That's when I realized that I was falling at a great speed, and the ghosts at the bottom of the abyss were my end!
When I realized this, my first reaction was to scream, "Ahhh
After that, Liang Houzai's screams suddenly sounded behind me.
Under the circumstances, my mind was really blank, and the screaming was completely uncontrollable.
A moment later, there was a splash in my ears, and Liang and I fell into the water again.
A large mouthful of water poured into my mouth, the water was very astringent and salty, I don't know what the composition of the water was, it felt a little viscous, and it was very buoyant, and as soon as I felt that I was no longer sinking, I quickly swam up to the surface with my hands and feet.
When I got ashore, my heart was still shivering, and to be honest, if there wasn't such a deep pool of water under the abyss, if I didn't fall into the water vertically, but slapped on the surface of the water in a lying position...... When I think of this, a bloody image appears in my mind.
At this time, Liang Houzai also climbed up and lay down beside me, also with a panicked expression.
I looked at the dark roof of the cave, my mind was a mess, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
This is the Tomb of the Dragon King? That's how I came in? I'm not dead? How do I get out?
These questions were intertwined in my mind at the same time, they came and went over and over again, and every word was intertwined, and I only knew that my mind was messing up, but I didn't know what I was thinking.
Until Liang Houzai slowly got up and asked me timidly: "Brother Dao, what should we do now?" ”
I came back to my senses when he asked me this, but I didn't respond to his words, not because I didn't want to respond, but because my lips were trembling at the time, and I couldn't say a word.
I took a deep breath and looked around to see what it was.
The glow I had seen before came from the pool in front of us, not that something was glowing under the pool, but that the whole pool was glowing with a faint blue glow.
Liang Houzai and I were covered in this water all over our bodies, so much so that now we also have blue light on our bodies.
Around the waterhole, there is a circle of tall stone stalactites, which are illuminated by the luster of the water, setting off a very greasy and sticky luster.
In addition, behind me and Liang Houzai, there is a very deep tunnel, although it is pitch black inside, I can only see a hole, but when I stand on the shore, I can feel a cool breeze blowing out of the hole, and I can also faintly hear a very long wind moan, so I know that the tunnel is connected to a tunnel.
At this time, Liang Houzai asked me again: "Why didn't Liang Zi come down?" I think he was supposed to have gone into the water with me before, right? ”
I took a deep breath before I said to Liang Houzai: "When I entered the cave, I dispersed, and I don't know if he came in or not." ”
Just like that time when I encountered the door sealing array at the Taoist temple, I still tried to maintain a calm tone when I spoke. It's just that that time I was worried that Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang would be nervous and collapsed, so I deliberately pretended to do it, and half of my composure now should be real.
Over the years, the experience of several brushes with life and death has made me, who is nearly 14 years old, mentally calm compared to when I first entered the industry.
With that, I looked around again, and there seemed to be no other way through except the tunnel behind us.
But I'm still going to wait for Liangzi.
In fact, I really hope that Liang Zi will also come down, he has rich combat experience, and he still has a gun in his hand, so I can be more down-to-earth with him.
At the same time, I was also worried that if Liang Zi was not sucked into the cave by the undercurrent, once he was trapped at the bottom of Erlong Bay, he would definitely be lucky now.
A moment later, Liang Zi's steel helmet fell into the pool, causing a large splash. But after a long time, Liang Zi still did not appear.
It seems that Liang Zi really failed to enter the cave, and I don't know how he is now, I hope he was not trapped at the bottom of Erlong Bay, but was brought ashore by Senior Brother Zhuang and them.
I had been scanning the stalactite forest around the waterhole for a long time, but I had not been able to see any trace of the ropes, and the ropes hanging at the entrance to the tomb of the Dragon King did not seem to be long enough to reach such a deep place.
After that, I took a closer look at the place where Liang and I were standing, and the water dripping from Liang and Liang Houzai emitted a blue glow on the ground, but other than that, there were no other water stains on the shore. Except for the two of us, no one seems to have ever been here, neither the mercenaries nor my master have ever been here.
I speculated that there should be some other entrance to the rock wall above us besides the tunnel behind us. But the vertical rock wall was like a mirror, and it looked really smooth against the light in the pool, and there was not even a single protruding stone. Liang Houzai and I don't have any tools in our hands, and the two of us can't climb such a rock wall anyway.
Liang Houzai scanned the surroundings like me, I saw that his face was getting worse and worse, and after a while, he asked me a little nervously, "Brother Dao, what should we do now?" ”
When he spoke, he deliberately did not look at the tunnel not far away, but I could see that although his eyes were facing me, the rest of the eyes had been paying attention to the tunnel.
Liang Houzai didn't want to go into that tunnel, he wanted me to get an idea, and on the other hand, he definitely didn't want me to take him into the tunnel. But for now, the tunnel is really the only way we go.
To be honest, the wind blowing out of that tunnel always gave me a very bad feeling, even though it was far away, I could still smell the slight smell of corpses in the gust of wind, and I didn't want to go into that tunnel, there must be evil corpses in it.
I let out a long breath and said to Liang Houzai: "Now we have to go to my master first, I think that since the master can come in, there must be a way to get out." In addition to this road, we can also wait for rescue here, but the yin energy in this is too heavy, just the two of us, if we don't replenish the yang energy in time, we can last for a few hours at most in this kind of place, and wait until the yin energy exhausts the yang energy in our body, either I am crazy or you are crazy, not I kill you, you must kill me. So I think we should go to my master now. ”
I deliberately made the words longer and calmer, and I hoped that Liang Houzai would feel that I was calm, so that he could also calm down.
Liang Houzai was silent for a while before nodding vigorously: "Yes, you should go to Grandpa Chai first." But where are we going to find him? ”
I didn't speak, and pointed to the tunnel behind Liang Houzai, but Liang Houzai didn't look back, and his expression suddenly became nervous again.
In fact, Liang Houzai and I have also experienced a lot of things together in the past two years, he has always been calmer, and even calmer than me in many cases, but now he shows a nervousness that does not match his personality.
I know why he is like this, he is the way he is now, because he has not recovered from the fall from the height just now, he suffers from a very serious fear of heights, and Liang Houzai's hands have been trembling slightly since he came ashore.
