The height of the road was about two meters, and the second master lowered his head and walked not too fast, and he opened a distance of two or three meters from me.

As I went deeper, there were more and more strands of hair on the ground, and my feet had a very slippery feeling when I stepped on it, and it felt very unreal, as if I had stepped on the ground every time I landed, but on a large area of oil.

The second master said behind me, "Why is this thing so slippery?" ”

I didn't know how to answer this question, so I just didn't speak, to tell the truth, although these hair-like things are a little weird everywhere, but I can feel that these "dead things" with independent consciousness are indeed not malicious to us.

And Luo Youfang also said, these hairs have an inappropriate breath, I don't feel any breath in the hair, and I don't know why he said that, but no matter what, I think that anything with an inappropriate aura should not be an evil thing.

The road was much longer than I expected, and we encountered several forks on the way, each of which looked exactly the same, and even at the entrance of each side road, there was an identical stone.

The second master said, don't care about these forks in the road, just go straight forward. I remembered seeing the map in the warehouse, and it was true that only this straight passage under our feet could lead to the dungeon.

It's a very boring thing to keep moving forward, to see the same things over and over again, and gradually, we lose interest in the hairs and the corpses on the ground, and the darkness in the corridor is like a great abyss, and we are in it, and we keep falling, but we never know when we will reach the bottom.

This made me feel very irritable, and I asked Liu Shangang about the time from time to time, and occasionally asked how long it would take for the second master to enter the underground palace.

Liu Shangang's answer was mostly "Why do you ask the time again, it's only been about ten minutes." ”

And the second master's response is always "It's still early!" ”

It wasn't just me, they spoke with a hint of impatience in their tones, and I gradually realized that our minds seemed to be affected by something, not just because of the boredom of the journey, but also because there must be something else at work.

I opened my eyes and tried to find out if there was any anomalous Qi field in the corridor, but I found nothing.

On the fifth hour of entering the corridor, I asked everyone to stop and rest, eat something to replenish their strength.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was resting, I leaned over to the second master and asked the second master: "Second master, the last time you went to the tomb, did you feel particularly irritable, as if you had just had a quarrel with someone." ”

The second master originally had a very irritable expression, and when he heard me say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then responded to me: "Not last time, but I do feel like this now." Why, you're just like me? ”

I nodded, looked back at the depths of the road, and said to the second master, "Something is affecting our minds. ”

The second master poured down most of the bottle of water in one go, glanced at the people around him, and asked me in a low voice, "Can you find that thing?" ”

"I can't find it," I also lowered my voice and said, "I can't feel the evil qi nearby, and the magnetic field here shouldn't be too much of a problem, otherwise Li Renfeng would have yelled a long time ago." ”

The second master's brows became tighter and tighter: "There is no evil qi, and the magnetic field is no problem, what is it that is affecting us?" ”

I said, "Second Master, after I took a bath with your prescription, not only my body and bones have become stronger, but my five senses are also more sensitive than before. Like Luo Youfang and Liu Shangang, their hearing and vision are far beyond ordinary people, but from the time they entered the tomb to the present, they didn't say that they heard strange sounds, nor did they say that they saw strange things......"

Before I could finish speaking, the second master interrupted me: "Do you want me to smell it, is there any strange smell in the corridor?" ”

I nodded immediately.

The second master scratched his scalp and shook his head again: "No, now the road is full of the smell of head oil mixed with corpse odor, even if there are other smells, I can't smell it." Hey, you say, the smell of those hairs, could it be the bane? ”

Although I have always felt that those hairs are harmless, but I have to think about the words of the second master.

After resting in place for 20 minutes, we continued to pull, and before leaving, I asked everyone to put on a breathing mask to see if we could calm everyone's minds without breathing the outside air.

It turns out that it's not a certain smell that affects us, even if we wear a breathing mask, our minds are affected.

In fact, for those of us who have practiced for many years, it is not too much of a problem to maintain a calm mood in this environment, the only thing that worries me at present is Li Renfeng, on the way, Liu Shangang felt that he was too slow and urged him, at that time, Liu Shangang's tone of voice was only a little impatient, Li Renfeng exploded, and almost fought with Liu Shangang.

I looked at him like an angry leopard.

Later, the second master used evil anger to suppress Li Renfeng, although Li Renfeng did not dare to do anything with Liu Shangang again, but he was still angry.

Even as he is now, the Three Corpses Recipe and the Tao Te Ching can't calm him down.

Seven hours after entering the road, there was no road in front of us, and under the light of the fox fire, a wave appeared near the end of the road.

The second master said to me from behind: "There is a waterway ahead, control your breathing when you go into the water, don't wait for the air in the compressed bottle to be out of stock." You lead the way in front, and I'll go to the back and stare at Li Renfeng. ”

I nodded and continued to walk forward, while the second master retreated to the back.

At the end of the road, there were four or five bricks missing from the ground, revealing a hole with an irregular shape, and in the hole was water.

The water was so clear that the flashlight could easily reach the bottom of the water, and I noticed that there were several dark shadows swimming quickly next to the flashlight beam.

I immediately lowered my upper body into the water and shot a light in the direction where the shadow had left.

I saw several large fish more than a meter long swimming rapidly in the water, those fish have no scales on their bodies, but have a very soft shell attached, and the back of the shell is flat and long, like layers of cloth, which are rising and falling in the water with the amplitude of their swimming.

Isn't this a clothfish? When I was in Lao Huang's house in Northeast China, I had seen this strange fish, not only seen it, but also eaten it. I remember that Huang Yulian once said that this kind of fish grows in water tombs, can live for more than 100 years, and is very poisonous.

I was observing the direction of the fish, and the voice of the second master came from the headset: "What do you see?" ”

I pressed the button on the respirator: "It's a clothfish." ”

Second Master: "There is a nest of clothfisher under the water, that thing is very poisonous, you should be careful." By the way, if they attack you, don't fight back, because once they break their skin and bleed, everyone who is soaked in the water will be killed. ”

The people outside should have heard the words of the second master, and I didn't need to tell them anything, so I adjusted my breathing and went directly into the water.

The water here is much cooler than outside, and as soon as I soaked my whole body, I felt that the water was taking heat away from my bones, and I knew that I couldn't stay, so I quickly swam forward.

At first I thought they were trying to attack me, but when they came to me, they kept circling around me, not knowing what they wanted to do, and I didn't bother to pay attention to them, so they kept swimming forward, and they just circled around me, and they glanced at me from time to time.

I was wondering what they were doing, when I heard Xian'er's voice appear in the headset: "Yes, those two fish seem to think you are of the same kind." ”

Like the same kind? I don't think they're preying on me.

I remember that many social fish have the habit of circling around their prey when hunting, which is similar to the encirclement tactics of wolves for them.

When Xian'er spoke, her voice appeared in everyone's headsets, and after a while, I heard the second master say: "These fish will eat their own kind when they are hungry, you should be careful." ”

As the second master spoke, a fish came up to my ankle and rubbed my fins twice with the kiss on the fish's head, and then it swam up to me and stared at me for a while.

It seemed to be measuring my length to see if it could swallow me in one gulp.

Speaking of which, even in the water, I can easily kill these two fish with the help of the green steel sword, but the problem is that the venom glands on their bodies, if they break, the venom spreads in the water, and we are all doomed. The point is that none of us know where the poison glands are, and if they do show their teeth at me, I don't know where to poke them with my sword.

Not long after, another silverfish swam up to me, circling around my waist and wondering what to do.

These two would bump into me from time to time when they were swimming, and I felt irritable for a while, so I pressed the button and said, "Second Master, how long will it take for us to leave the waterway?" ”

Second Master: "Let's have another half an hour." ”

It's going to take that long! My gaze swept back and forth over the two cloth-clothed fish, and I sighed helplessly in my heart.

I tried to chase them away, but they weren't afraid of me, and I pushed them away with the scabbard of my steel, and they would soon swim back and continue to circle around me.

There's no way, I can only let them follow, while holding a flashlight on, while swimming forward silently, the second master and Xian'er should have never turned off the walkie-talkie, I can hear Xian'er's nervous breathing in the headset, and the second master hums a small tune from time to time.

Xian'er seemed to be more nervous than me, but the second master didn't seem to take this tomb seriously at all.

After swimming for more than 20 minutes, the cold water took away most of the heat from my body, so that my hands and feet were a little paralyzed, and my movements were not as flexible as before.

As if sensing my weakness, the sorrel leaned over to me, the surface temperature of the fish was even cooler than the water, and I could feel a heavier chill as soon as they got closer.

Xian'er's cry sounded in the headset no sooner or later: "Watch the back! ”

There were still many people talking, but Xian'er's voice was the clearest, and I realized that the cloth-clothed fish following me was probably about to attack me, and I curled up quickly with all my strength, and I felt something pull at my fins, and when I looked down, I saw a big hole in the fins, which was bitten by the cloth-clothed fish.

I immediately turned my head to face the two fish behind me, one of them swinging its tail right next to me, with no intention of pounced, and the other of them stabbed straight at me.

I immediately picked up the green steel sword, and used the scabbard against the head of the cloth-clothed fish, in the water, my movements became very slow, and the cold water temperature made me not use much strength, after the head was pushed up, the fish seemed to be angry, shook its body vigorously, swung the green steel sword away, and shook its tail, and rushed over with a big mouth full of sharp teeth.

The fish has a lot of strength, and when it wags its tail, the undercurrent in the water makes it almost impossible for me to stabilize my body.

The situation for now is that either I die or I kill it, but it's fast, and I can't guarantee that I'll be able to pull out the blue steel sword before it bites my head.

At this moment, the body of the cloth-duck fish suddenly froze in place, and by the light of the flashlight, I saw a narrow black shadow wrapped around its tail, and its fish eyes were wide, as if surprised, and then began to swing its body again, trying to break free from the shadow's restraints.
