The Land of Yoro Chapter 18: The Shadow in the Cave (Part II)

"What red dots?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"Top! Top! ”

"What the fuck is this!?" Ay? You're sharp-mouthed. ”

"Shhh ”

In the darkness, I saw that the top of the cave was covered with large and small red points of light, the big ones were like apples, and the small ones were the size of soybeans.

"Don't look at it, before the things in the water have spotted us, let's go." Yuanmei didn't know what to call what she had just seen.

"Are the torches still lit?" If you don't light the torch, you can only rub forward step by step, so when will you be able to run out? "I found this frightened, my mouth was really good, but I still drooled as soon as I spoke.

"Don't order, the goal is too obvious, other people's homes haven't seen it, let's look for it ourselves." The second master pulled out the knife as he spoke, and then unloaded the scabbard from his back and handed it to Yuanmei as a walking stick for pathfinding.

I also quickly took out the knife, I found that this way, the only place to use the knife is to pick up blisters, the rest of the time it is completely useless, hey, it is completely a chicken rib, and it can only strengthen the courage.

Yuanmei took the scabbard and knocked on the ground to take the lead, the second master was seriously injured, and he was transferred to the middle position, and behind my palace, everyone grabbed the backpack of the previous person and groped forward, more like a blind man.

Strange to say, since the torch was extinguished, the water was much quieter, except for the occasional sound of a large object crossing the water.

The surroundings returned to the previous quiet, and the mood gradually calmed down a lot, anyway, I couldn't see it, so I simply closed my eyes, grabbed the second master's backpack belt, and walked with the reins.

I closed my eyes and recalled the scene I had just seen, although it was only a short moment, but now that I think about it, my heart still palpitates, that thing is too big, the blind man touches the elephant, no one can see what it looks like, I only remember the white belly, green fins, there seem to be some yellow-brown spots and the like, the most impressive thing is its mouth, probably because the mouth comes out of the water first, flat, a large mouth about several feet long, the fine fangs in it reflect the light of the torch, flashing a terrifying cold light.

Judging from the shape of jumping out of the water, I am afraid that it has to be two zhang away, and the mouth alone accounts for nearly one-third, looking at the thickness, it seems that it is not like the second master, or even slightly better.

What fish can grow this big, and what is there in this hellish place that can feed such a big fish? Look at the teeth like a hacksaw in the mouth, you know that it is not a good kind of living by eating small fish and shrimp, and this water is not connected to the outside, it is all formed by the convergence of water droplets of those stalactites, although it cannot be said to be a pool of stagnant water, it is also extremely closed, so there are not a few of them, even if there is only this one, the river has long been eaten clean, but in this way, how did the people who drew the human skin map thousands of years ago know about its existence? Could it be that this fish has lived for thousands of years?

I kept thinking about this seemingly unsolvable problem in my head, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in my head, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on my head. Actually, I pressed the wrong object?

If this is the case, then it proves that there is something more terrifying in this place than this fish, and what can be more terrifying than this strange fish that is several feet long? And if this is the case, our current situation is quite bad, in terms of weapons, just these three knives, scraping fish scales are all problems, how to talk about self-defense? If you want to run, just walk the single-plank bridge with a black light, just me and the second master are limping, covered with injuries, and it is estimated that running is not much faster than walking, this is the real heaven no way, no way to the ground.

Once people close their eyes, the other senses of the body are much more developed than usual, I always faintly feel those red dots on the top of the head staring at us, at first I thought it was an illusion caused by too much nervousness, but when the hairs on my body involuntarily stood up, I was sure that this was not an illusion, I opened my eyes and gently pulled the second master's backpack, the second master asked softly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you ever feel like you're being stared at?" ”

"Those red dots, you say?" Do you have one too? I thought I was scaring myself, don't say it, it's really cautious. ”

"Don't talk! Yuanmei suddenly stopped in front and shouted softly.

The three of them stood so quietly, no one dared to speak, and they didn't know why Yuanmei didn't leave, suddenly there was a "bang" in the water, it seemed that the big fish jumped out again, and then there was a strange cry on the top of the cave, and then "poof", the big fish fell back into the water, I looked up at the top of the cave, only to see those red dots on the top of the cave began to move rapidly, and accompanied by a high-pitched "squeak" sound, the sound was high-pitched and sharp, straight to the mind, the listener's scalp was tight, and the whole head began to ache faintly.

"Why do I sound like a mouse?" The second master said softly.

I heard the same, but I felt that something was wrong, if it was a mouse, how could they be standing on the roof of the cave? And apple-like eyes, how big is this mouse? But this cry is indeed very much like the cry of a mouse, like a mouse, and it can stand on the roof of the cave, it is .....: "Bat! ”

Yuan Mei and I shouted in unison, Yuan Mei hurriedly turned around, moved forward quickly, only to hear the scabbard like a rushing wind, knocking on the ground into a ball, the second master said distressedly: "Big sister, you are smaller, you can't be a bat, if the bat has already flown away, how can you still stand obediently and let the fish eat?" And who has ever seen this big bat, you look at the eyes, besides, bats eat moths, not people, you tap and knock. ”

"Now it should be daytime outside, bats are nocturnal animals, now is the time to sleep, the mobility must be much worse, while it is not dark outside, let's go quickly, once it is night, when they wake up, we are difficult to fly even if we plug in our wings." ”

Listening to Yuanmei's words, she seems to know what these bats are, but now is not the time to ask these trivial things, it is better to find a safe place first, no matter what it is, listen to what she means, we can't afford to mess with it.

As I walked, I complained in my heart, how long is this stone bridge? It's been nearly half a day, why hasn't it been a head, and the bridge deck under this foot is getting more and more slippery, and it's getting harder and harder to walk, is the stone bridge sinking or the water level rising?

The surface of the water is "bang" again, it seems that this big fish is living by eating bats on the top of the cave, hey, as long as you don't eat us, what you like to eat, it's best to eat quickly, save always jumping up and down, weird and scary.

But this time the big fish was not as smooth as before, just listen to the moment it fell into the water, the top of the cave "hula" a chaotic sound, followed by a gust of fishy wind falling from the sky, Yuanmei shouted: "Squat down and don't move!" The three of them squatted on the stone bridge together, not daring to move.

The squeaking on the roof of the cave quickly spread from a few points to the entire cave, and Yuanmei shouted, "It's dark!" The bats seemed to understand her time, and in an instant it was like a black whirlwind, overwhelmingly pressed down.

The three of them covered their ears tightly, but despite this, they still couldn't stop the piercing screams rushing into their brains, and suddenly there was a feeling of headache, and at the same time, the pot exploded on the water surface, like boiling water boiling the pot, and the sound of the water was endless, it seemed that there was more than one strange fish in the water, and the arrival of these bats was equivalent to blowing the whistle for dinner.

From time to time, some palm-sized bats fell on me, I hurriedly waved my hand to open it, but fortunately, it was smaller than I expected, I took the opportunity to peek at the top of the cave, only to see only a few apple-sized red dots left on it, still vigilantly looking at everything below, I secretly thought to myself: "Don't come down, don't come down." ”

I don't know if my sincerity alarmed which god and Buddha, silently recited without a word, those big red dots all flew into the air, hovering above our heads, only to feel a whirlwind blowing from top to bottom, a pair of blood-red eyes, greedily staring at us.

The second master and Yuan Mei also noticed the situation above their heads, and the second master looked at the sky and said angrily: "Damn, how did you see this black light?" Is it really good to have big eyes? ”

"Here we go! Yuan Mei suddenly exclaimed, at this time a pair of red eyes went straight to the second master, before the near, the bat instigated by the wind blew the person can not open his eyes, the second master does not care about seeing it, holding his head in one hand, raising the knife above his head in the other hand, and constantly waving around, Yuan Mei and I hold our heads in one hand, and hold his backpack with the other, for fear that he will be caught.

I don't know if the blind cat met the dead mouse, only to hear the head of the "poof" sound, and then there were a few high-pitched "squeak" sounds, the fishy wind instantly weakened a lot, the second master said happily: "Yo, really cut in", the words were not finished, the water flashed in front of him, jumped out of a black shadow, and then fell back into the water, with a wave of water, fortunately we have been squatting, otherwise we were directly washed down the stone bridge by this wave.

Immediately after, the water in front of him was lively, the sound of "whoa, whoa" resounded throughout the cave, waves of water lapping against us, it seemed that the giant bat and the big fish were entangled just now, Yuanmei took this opportunity to pull the second master, the second master understood and pulled me, the three of them quickly got up, the cat waist, and quietly walked forward.

At this time, all my thoughts were on how to run forward, but I ignored the behind, walking, suddenly the backpack behind me was tight, the whole person was grabbed by a huge force, my feet were already suspended in the air, I hurriedly grabbed the second master's backpack, and slashed behind me with a backhand swing, the second master reacted quite quickly, turned around and grabbed my arm, sat on the ground with a butt, the strength was so great, I felt that I was going to be torn, and he grabbed the wounded hand wrapped in gauze, his hands were like iron tongs, tightly grasping the wound, I could even feel his fingers digging into the blister, and I felt a piercing pain in an instant, and the pain made me dizzy.

A fishy wind suddenly came from the back of my head, and I hurriedly turned my head, and was facing the big blood-red eyes, so close, through the red light from its eyes, I could vaguely see that this was a damn bat, it was clearly a monster with brown hair.

I saw that this monster had no forehead, a pair of blood-red eyes started from the two pointed goat-like ears on the top of the head, and extended to both sides of the nose to the sky, the big mouth under the nose that seemed to be able to separate the head up and down, two palm-length fangs dripping with sticky and smelly saliva, straight to my neck, if I was bitten, let alone the neck, I am afraid that even the arms will be gone.

Because the other arm was grabbed by the second master, the knife couldn't change hands, so I had no choice but to hit the monster's nose with the back of my head, hold my breath and close my eyes, and lean back violently with all my strength.

I don't know if I hit the right place, but with a scream, I was thrown down, and there were already three or four pairs of big red eyes on the top of my head circling around us.

Yuanmei suddenly shouted: "Go into the water, get into the water quickly, hold on to the side of the bridge, don't sink down", at this moment, there is no room to think too much, the three of them hurriedly jumped into the water, one hand held the edge of the bridge, only the head was exposed to the water to keep breathing, put the knife into the sheath in the water, grabbed the edge of the stone bridge with both hands, and continued to set off.

From time to time under the water, something like a log hit his feet heavily, and the speed was as fast as a galloping horse, and he was almost knocked off his hand a few times, but fortunately the focus of all the strange fish is now on the monster, and there is no time to greet us, otherwise it will be up to the three of us, and even the teeth of those big fish will not be able to fill the gaps.

The water was not as cold and bitter as I thought, and because of the buoyancy in the water, the speed of progress was much faster, just when I thought it was safe, a pair of big feet suddenly jumped on the stone bridge in front of me, and the force was so great that the stone bridge trembled.

It was a pair of large feet resembling eagle talons, about two feet long, with steel hook-like claws on their toes, and looking up, everything was hidden in the darkness except for a small plush calf, and two blood-red eyes were like two dim red lanterns, searching.
