Chapter 10: The Dead Hand
The egg and the dragon boy put the bag in a plastic bag, although the person went into the water, but the bag will not get wet. The two men cautiously dived into the water. Long Tsai followed and dived, only to find that the design looked like layers of flower beds in the park. When the water fills the previous layer, it flows to the next layer, and when the next layer is full, it flows to the bottom of another layer. In this way, the water flow layer by layer not only ensures that the water is not too turbulent, but also ensures the moisture of the tree.
Of course, Longzi will still have some questions, this ginkgo-like tree will not be drowned, what is the tree for, and how many are left on the island. All kinds of questions appeared in my mind, and when I was thinking about whether the trees were a precious medicinal herb, I was annoyed that I didn't bring some with me before leaving. At this time, the egg dragged the dragon boy.
The dragon boy turned over these flower beds layer by layer, because he was engaged in the question just now, and did not pay attention to the surrounding situation. was pulled by the egg, and suddenly came back to his senses.
I saw that the egg was gesturing something, a little like a dancing god, and the dragon boy almost couldn't help laughing. When I saw the egg pointing at his feet, his legs suddenly became a little weak.
Because of the flashlight, the area around the egg's feet is shaking and not easy for people to see. But you can still see that there are many hands under the water, which are green. I just turned over a few floors, and I didn't even notice it.
The egg also held his breath and didn't dare to move, for fear of alarming the underwater creatures, so he grabbed the egg and devoured him. But staying still is not the way to go. As Ryuzai struggled to figure out what to do next, Egg screamed.
"It caught me! It got me! Fast! Kill it! ”
The egg kept beating, like a demon haunting, constantly writhing its body, trying to get rid of it. But the more he moved, the tighter the grip of the hand below, and the egg had just recovered his body, and his face was frightened.
But the dragon boy found out why these corpse hands only grabbed the eggs, but not the dragon boy. Is it because they only grasp the living and not the dead? At this time, there is only a small distance of two meters between the dragon boy and the egg.
"Eggs, don't move!" Long Tsai shouted, and then gently lowered his right hand, back and forth twice, signaling the egg not to move, be quiet, and don't make any movement.
When Danzi heard this, he really didn't move, and let these underwater corpses play with it. After a while, after these corpse hands found that there was no movement, they gradually returned to their original clothes, and actually curled up like flower bones, and slowly regained their calm.
But Danzi and Longzi clearly heard the beating sound of their hearts, and neither of them dared to come out. When the surroundings became flower-like and bone-like, the egg breathed a sigh of relief.
Danzi whispered, "What are these corpses, and what should we do next?" ”
The dragon boy motioned for him to be quiet, and stop alarming the corpse hands. He has no choice for the time being, for fear that these corpses will only eat living things, not dead things. Maybe every time after a heavy rain, the small insects on the trees or the ground will be washed down. And because the water flow is too fast, these corpse hands have evolved to be able to catch these living creatures from the fast water flow and feed them.
That is to say, these corpses only recognize living creatures. At this time, I glanced at Danzi, and saw Danzi's hands moving up and down, as if asking what to do next. Long Tsai said in a low voice at this time:
"Sound the east and the west! Lead the corpse hand into the distance, look me in the eyes, and think about escaping. The dragon boy also gestured with his hand, indicating the position on the left.
The egg reacted for a moment, and suddenly understood. "Drumming" for a while, took out a golden hairpin from his body, and carefully took out a rope from his bag, and when he could take it out, he found that the rope in the bag was about three meters left.
Long Zai untied a piece of rope from the waistband of his trousers, which was only two or three meters, and he tied one end of the gold talisman he wore on his body to the rope. Then seeing that the eggs had also been finished, the two of them kept turning the things in their hands.
As if there was a tacit understanding, they shot at the same time, but the two ropes actually touched each other, and after two turns, they were entangled together.
The two of them were dumbfounded, at this critical moment, they actually dropped the chain. Long Tsai had to pull the rope over and carefully untie the rope, and the water droplets on his head kept dripping into the water. The corpse hand below moves slightly every time a drop of water drops. After the dragon boy untied it, he leaned over his upper body, and Danzi also leaned down to pick it up.
The dragon boy didn't have eggs, and threw the rope directly to the far left. Where it was thrown, the corpse's hands seemed to be frightened, first scattered, and then found food, constantly wriggling and spreading, like a hand. The eggs were also thrown near the end of the dragon boy's rope, and the two of them shook the rope carefully.
The corpse hands under the water kept gathering, and after a while, they gathered together. Seeing that more than half of the corpse hands around him were missing, Long Tsai motioned for Danzi to prepare to jump on the altar and think about climbing over.
The dragon boy gestured with his right hand: three, two, one. The two of them jumped onto the altar at the same time, crossed over together, and then flipped all the way to the altar. After three or four times, it was already some distance away from the flower bed.
After the dragon boy and the egg, they turned the lights into the water, and saw that the corpse hands seemed to be searching, constantly changing. The two of them gasped at the same time, huffing their backs.
"Dragon Boy, what was it just now? It's really a terrible TMD. ”
"Presumably designed by the grave builders, it may resemble a creature like a man-eating flower." Longzi also ran down all the way, in a cold sweat. Then he said to the egg: "It seems that this grave builder is not an ordinary person, who has come up with this method of construction, and can also build traps throughout the tomb, and also find creatures that have never been seen before. It seems that this journey down is very dangerous, and we have to return to the ship as soon as possible to meet. If you have a fate, then look for the Xuan Palace. ”
Danzi also agrees with Long Tsai and has to go back as soon as possible. With the ability of only two people, I am afraid that there is a life to enter, but there is no life to come out.
The two of them, stepping on the water, walked for a long time, and went back and forth for a while. Finally, the dragon boy and the egg saw the long-lost sunshine.
It's just that the rays of this setting sun cast down from above. The two of them looked up, and just like the dungeon just now, a big tree appeared. Danzi bowed his head and sighed.
"God doesn't plan to let the two of us go out and keep it to watch the tomb!" Danzi showed a helpless face.
"We can get out!" Long Tsai replied.
Let the egg's eyes light up, and suddenly come to the spirit.
"How do you get out? Say it, say it! The egg urged the dragon boy.
"Look at this tree, unlike the big tree just now, although the branches are still smooth, the tops of the trees are indeed scattered. Like the ginkgo willow tree, the 'wicker' on top is tenacious and allows us to jump to the top. ”
"But we don't have a rope anymore, how can we climb?" The egg's voice was a little weak.
