Chapter 138: Heavenly Palace

I didn't know what was on my leg, and there was no room to get rid of it, and before I could even warn the fat man and Shirley Yang in front of me, my body quickly sank to the bottom. The only light source on my body came from the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet, and as soon as the light source of the spotlight sank into the dark and cold water, the illumination range immediately dropped to the freezing point, and the light could only shine out more than a meter away, in this dark and dreary underground water, this was only less than 1.5 meters of visual range, similar to that of a blind man.

In a panic, I quickly closed my breath, looked down at the water, a strange baby with a worm, his four-petaled mouthparts, just bitten on my kettle bag, the military kettle has a green canvas cover, very strong and thick, its "mouth (mouth replaced by worm)" is full of inward flesh thorns, if you don't swallow something, it will be difficult to loosen your mouth, at this moment this strange baby is desperately pulling my thighs with two forelimbs, trying to pull its "mouth (mouth into worm)" from the kettle bag.

In the dim water, the face of the "carous baby" is even uglier, the whole body is wrinkled, the tough skin is a little like a newborn, it is simply an old and ugly soft reptile, at this moment at the bottom of the water at a close look, immediately gave birth to a feeling of disgust, fortunately when swimming in the water, it was bitten on the kettle, if it bites the buttocks, this time it is already rest.

The power of the "scab baby" is very great, as early as when it is not separated from the mother's body, it can drive the "dead drift" in the egg to move quickly, and it is constantly pulled to the bottom of the water, but it is very bad, I can't wait to get rid of this fierce monster baby immediately, the sapper shovel, the mountaineering pickaxe and other equipment in hand, are in the backpack with inflatable air bags, so I had to reach out on my leg and pull out the Russian paratrooper knife in my hand.

Originally, there was a killing intent in my heart, and I wanted to cut the four-petal mouthparts that the strange baby was holding on the kettle. But it suddenly occurred to me that poisonous blood would inevitably flow out once it was cut, so I was also in danger of being poisoned, so it was safer to cut the strap of the kettle.

At the moment, pin the Russian-style paratrooper knife to the strap of the military kettle, and rub it out with the hook groove on the inside of the blade. The strap of a kettle was broken, and the "mouth (mouth of the baby" was still hanging on the kettle, and I couldn't use it, my chest was about to explode, and my heart was beating wildly, eager to float to the surface for ventilation, and I didn't want to be entangled in it, so I stepped down on the baby's head with my empty feet, kicked it away, and I swam quickly to the surface of the water with my own strength.

In the process of floating, I saw a few "dead drifters" floating around me, but they had already lost their shells that emitted cold light, and it seemed that the eggs inside had been separated from the mother's body, and suddenly I noticed that there were white shadows on the left and right, and there was a big white fish-like strange baby on each side, and they pounced on me at the bottom of the water. They move flexibly and quickly in the water, and they are not inferior to swimming fish.

I cried out in my heart for a cry of misery, and they were already wrapped in the middle, and the sides of the body were torn into four large strange mouths, and pink barbed bushes opened out. This is a fight for life, even if I am not bitten to death by them, my breath is close to the limit, and if I am slightly entangled, I will have to choke to death by water.

I didn't even think about it, in fact, there was no room for thought at all, seeing the strange baby who pounced on the left came first, opened the mouth of the four black holes and bit it, I had to shrink my shoulders to avoid its strange mouth, followed by my left hand from above, and pinched its back neck.

I hurriedly used my left hand to take the "scab baby" that I grabbed the back of the neck, and with the force of its rush in the water, stabbed obliquely, and collided with the "scab baby" on the right hand side that then pounced.

I escaped death, and immediately stepped on the water with both feet, jumped out of the water, greedily breathed in the sultry air of the "gourd hole", and my brain recovered from the semi-oxygen-deprived blank state.

Looking around, the water surface was quietly pitch black, and there was no trace of the fat man, the echo of the detonating cord explosion was still echoing in the cave, and the smell of gunsmoke had not yet dissipated.

The more you swim forward, the more rapid the water flow, even without exerting your strength, you will be involuntarily rushed forward by the water, the inclined gourd hole, is pouring the groundwater inside into the deep valley outside, seeing that the bright light at the entrance of the cave began to become dazzling, the baby's heart-rending cry behind him suddenly sounded, thinking that the strange babies who were temporarily frightened away by the explosion, caught up again, these guys can act quickly on the stone wall, and they are even faster in the water, I can't help but feel difficult, even if I get out of the gourd hole, I am afraid that I can't deal with these freaks.

But it's useless to worry, I had to comfort myself, wasn't the People's Liberation Army also in the retreat all the way, dragging down the enemy, in exchange for the final full-line counteroffensive, I had to grit my teeth and then run, when I looked up at the entrance of the cave, I saw a figure flickering, someone threw down a rope, because of the backlight, I couldn't see the face of the person clearly, but the figure should be Shirley Yang, the water flow of the gourd mouth was too fast, I grabbed the rope, so I was not washed down by the water, the water outside the cave roared, and the sun pierced the eyes, I couldn't see where I was for a while, so I grabbed an old vine hanging from the edge of the hole and pulled out of the water.

The body was suspended in the air, only to feel the vines around me, Shirley Yang asked me: "We came out of the cave to find that you were gone, and we were about to go back to look for you, why did you fall behind?"

I waved my hand: "It's hard to say, let's go back and talk about the details, what about the fat man?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously, began to adapt to the sunlight outside, looked down, dizzy, it turned out that the place I was in was the edge of the "gourd mouth", this is a large waterfall group, in this three rivers flow side by side, the peaks of the large basin, all the water systems that flow out of the worm valley have become large and small waterfalls, rushing into the big waterhole below, the largest of which is nearly 20 meters wide, the drop is more than 40 meters, the water potential is pouring down, the water splashes everywhere, and the sound shocks the green valley.

This big water tank is unfathomable, with a diameter of nearly 800 meters, except for the waterfall group, everywhere is covered with thick vine plants, all green, like a green giant tube, but also lined with the unfathomable depth of the green of the waterhole below. The entrance to the cave where we came out was a waterfall with a relatively small flow, and it was on the outermost side of the waterfall group. There were countless vines growing all around, otherwise we would not have been smashed into the deep pool by the rushing water as soon as we got out of the hole, and the fat man and the big rucksack with all the equipment were hanging on the old vines below. Those old vines trembled, and they didn't know if they could bear the weight.

Here is not less than 30 meters away from the deep pool below, the fat man is afraid of heights, he simply closed his eyes, and he didn't even dare to look, Shirley Yang had already installed a pid in the crack of the stone, and put a rope down, hanging down to the fat man, the fat man closed his eyes and touched the rope, hanging in the safety bolt on his waist.

I think these old vines are old and tough. And there is also a trekking rope with fat men hanging as protection. It is expected that there will be no big problem for a while, but I am afraid that those freaks will chase them out, and it will be even more dangerous to encounter them on this cliff. Climb to the cliff, then you can go back to the end of the worm valley, and down is the deep pool, but according to the current situation, the fat man will not be able to climb up no matter what. Only move downward.

I settled down, only then can I see the surrounding environment clearly, do not look at it, at a glance, suddenly dumbfounded, the huge water flow of the waterfall group, stirring up infinite water vapor, because the terrain is too low, the water vapor is diffuse, is illuminated by the sun, turned into a rainbow light, countless rainbows hold a splendid palace in mid-air, the palace in the que, the god wall, the stele pavilion, the corner tower, the dedication hall, the spiritual platform are all available, the Qionglou Jade Pavilion, it is completely the weather of the Great Qin, the majestic Qin bricks and Han tiles, standing in the rainbow water vapor, It's like a heavenly palace that transforms out of the earth.

I was stunned by the magnificence and mystery of this castle in the sky, which Shirley Yang had seen when he first came out of the gourd cave, and tugged at my arm: "That's the tomb of the king, but if you look closely, it's not in the air." ”

I stopped my heart from shaking, and looked at it again, only to see that this heavenly palace was not built in the sky, but a whole large-scale mountain-style building, just like the world-famous hanging temple, with unimaginable engineering technology, built on the vertical plane of the cliff, because the surrounding mountain walls are green plants, and the color of this palace is extremely prominent, and the palace is semi-prominent, plus the colorful glow below. A special optical phenomenon has been formed, which makes people have a dreamy feeling of witnessing a city in the sky and a mirage.

I don't know what principle makes this sky city so well preserved, and the bright colors have not diminished in the slightest, but I don't have time to think about it now, although the sound of the water is endless, but the soul-like cry in the cave can already be heard outside the cave, and those freaks will catch up in an instant, I pointed to the palace of the king's tomb, and said to Shirley Yang: "Let's find a way to retreat there first, and the broken worm path of the king's tomb should be able to stop them." ”

Shirley Yang said: "Okay, there are several ancient plank roads hanging on the side, which can be bypassed. ”

I also saw the remains of the plank road hanging on the cliff, all of which are built with wooden piles and stone slabs, and some places are more adapted to local conditions, directly digging the mountain as a ladder, a circle around the circumferential cliff, among which there are two plank roads, leading to the big waterhole below, the amount of these plank roads alone is breathtaking, it is not a plank road used by ordinary people, its solidity and width are unprecedented, and the bricks and tiles of the king's tomb are transported up from here.

The more I think about it, the more I feel cold, such a large ancient tomb of the king, completely beyond expectations, is there any confidence in breaking it, find out the "phoenix gall" to now think about it, there is really no half of the certainty, we imagine the "tomb of the king" is too small.

I shook my head, dispelled this frustration, climbed the old vine, went down to the fat man's place, and then took Shirley Yang as well, the nearest plank road to us was not far from the left, I said to the fat man and Shirley Yang, "Cut the vine and swing it to the plank road." ”

Although this method is more risky, but there is no better way at the moment, such a high cliff, not to mention the fat man who has a fear of heights, even me and Shirley Yang also feel dizzy, every move here, it is like standing on the rainbow air, the water mist is rising around, the rocks and plants are wet, every step is like walking on the ice in the abyss, thrilling, I have to put my heart to the throat and eyes, not to mention to drag the broken Teng, fly to the remains of the plank road seven or eight meters away, Who dares to guarantee that the plank road on the cliff is still strong, maybe it will become powder when touched.

The fat man was still hesitating, his legs were shaking and shaking, and I said to the fat man: "Can you stop screaming, and if you shake it again, these vines will have been broken by you, so it is better to jump desperately, even if you fall to death, it is also a good man, better than your nest death with a bear bag." ”

The fat man said: "Don't talk to me, you jump first, I will jump after you jump, whoever doesn't jump is a grandson." ”

Shirley Yang had hooked a long vine with a paratrooper knife and said to me and the fat man, "Don't argue, those leprosy babies have already crawled over, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw four or five mucus-covered humanoids crawling down towards us from the top of our heads, and it seemed that there were more behind them, and their bodies seemed to be a little larger than before, and they had been out of the shape of babies, and the characteristics of insects on their bodies were more obvious.

I took out the "Chicago typewriter" from the fat man's backpack and shot it a few times, and the three half-human reptiles were immediately shot, and tumbled down into the turquoise pool, only to see two white splashes on the water, and I didn't even hear a sound, all covered by the thunderous sound of the waterfall, and I didn't see their corpses rise to the surface.

The three of them were shocked, Shirley Young looked down at the barometer on his wrist, the altitude was even lower than the famous Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States, and he couldn't help but exclaim, why does this place look so much like the "bottomless ghost cave" in the Zagrama Mountains?

I stretched out my hand to carry the backpack behind my back, where can I care about whether this place is similar to the "ghost hole", thinking that the fat man is in a high place, and the courage is not as good as the free son, if we go to the plank road first, he will not dare to jump over, so he has to let him jump first, and then he can't help but say, stuff the old vine into the fat man's hand, and say to him: "You can rest assured that you can go over, don't forget that you still have a safety bolt hanging on your waist, and you can't be killed." After that, he immediately cut off the old vine and kicked behind the fat man's buttocks, trying to make him jump to the plank road five meters below the slope first.

However, my feet kicked in the air, where we were more than ten entangled vines, falling three of us and a large bag of equipment, the bearing capacity was balanced, then suddenly three or four old vines were disconnected together, we were all hung in the air and crumbling, the sudden fall was unexpected, when I looked up, it turned out that the rattan was bitten off by those strange insects that caught up behind.
