Chapter Seventy-Six: The Twelve-Fingered Corpse

I was wondering how the bottle was turning on its own, when I noticed a whirlpool on the surface of the lake at the bottom of the bottle, and the whirlpool became bigger and bigger, gradually filling half of the lake, and the air currents that rose up kept blowing on my body, and I shivered with cold.

This scene can be said to be quite spectacular, like a storm blowing on the sea, but this is a miniature version.

They were already very dangerous in the water, and now there is a whirlpool, and I really can't imagine what the underwater situation is like at this time, so I can only silently pray that they will be safe.

I watched from the shore for a while, and suddenly I noticed that the water level seemed to be slowly decreasing, and the shoreline at my feet had receded several inches, and the sandy land, which had only been a single seat, was now wider, and the lake was getting lower and lower as the whirlpool continued.

I immediately understood what was going on, there should be a drain down there, and the lake was draining!

Looking at the size of the whirlpool, the drainage outlet below should not be small, but because the area of the lake is too large, the drop in water level is not obvious.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, because I'll be able to go down to them when the lake drains, but there's a good chance they've been swept up in that drain, which means they're in a very difficult situation.

The key question is, what's really down there? According to the situation just now, if it was just a simple drain, it was impossible for the fawn not to come back for so long, he either found something and wanted to explore further, or he encountered something that made it impossible to get out. I'm willing to believe the former, it's the best outcome.

I was a little helpless, sitting on the sand, quietly waiting, before the lake drained, I didn't have any way, I just hoped that the two people below would hold on.

The rest of the process was very long, I waited almost twenty minutes to see the bottom of the lake, and at that moment, I couldn't believe my eyes, everything in front of me made me feel like I was in a dream!

It was a low dune-like building, a bit like the earthen houses of the past, boxy, with only a small door, and I couldn't tell what was in it from my position, and there were no less than a hundred such earthen buildings, some of which had been washed away by the water, but the whole was quite well preserved.

This is not the point, the key point is that there are many corpses crisscrossing these earthen buildings, and the corpses are dressed in strange costumes, which do not look like people of this era.

I glanced at it casually, but I didn't see Xiaolu and Uncle Li, but I only found that there was a huge gap in the stone wall on one side of the bottom of the lake, and nothing could be seen in the darkness inside, because the gap was still at a certain height from the bottom of the lake, so the rest of the water could not be drained out.

I can't hesitate any longer, I'll have to go down and find them!

The lake became a big pit after the water was drained, and the rock wall around the pit was so steep that I couldn't jump straight in, so I pulled out the iron claw used by the fawn from my bag, tried to stick it in the dirt, and then slid down the rope.

But the sand was too soft to hold the claws in place, so I had to cut a small hole in the wall to barely hook the claws, and then use two ropes to tie a live buckle around my waist, so that not only did I ensure safety, but I could also raise and fall freely.

When everything was ready, I grabbed the rope and slowly descended step by step, carefully stepping on the stone wall.

The stone wall was very slippery, and it was difficult for my feet to hold on to it, so I basically did it by hand.

Because I didn't have gloves, my hands had been blistered with blood, but I didn't dare to let go of my hand and slide down, so I could only grasp and release it along the rope, which was a test of arm strength, and I was a little overwhelmed after a while, but I had to grit my teeth and persevere, after all, I was only halfway there.

I had descended some distance in pain, and had reached a safe altitude, and now I could see every detail of the bottom of the lake clearly, but because of the urgency of time, I did not stay long, and I did not look closely, only smelling a faint smell of decay, mixed with a strange aroma.

I was about to untie the rope and jump down, when suddenly, the iron claws on it seemed to fall off, and I had no strength to borrow, so I fell on my back.

Because I was defenseless, the moment I fell into the water, I happened to change my breath, and before I could react, a mouthful of water instantly choked into the trachea, I only felt dizzy, and the lungs were extremely uncomfortable, although I had experienced it before, I still couldn't help but be a little afraid.

I lay in the water and kept splashing, trying to get up, but it was very difficult, for some reason, I felt like I lost my balance, no matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to get up, and I couldn't spit out the saliva.

At this moment, I suddenly found a corpse pressed under the body, the corpse's face was distorted, the expression was very weird, the strangest thing was that he had six fingers on each hand, and the sixth finger that was different from ordinary people had obvious joints at the root, which meant that the finger could move.

You know, six fingers are rare, not to mention that he has both hands, and it is extremely rare for this finger to have movable joints.

Thinking of this, a chill hit me from behind me, I don't know where the strength came from, I suddenly got up from the water, half-squatted to maintain balance, and barely stood still after a few hard strokes of the water, at the same time, coughed with all my strength for a while, before I felt a little relieved, but I still felt something in the trachea.

I untied the rope around my waist and began to look around, the tulou were staggered and looked unorganized, the low door beams were not even as high as my neck, and the tulou was full of corpses, all of them with hideous faces.

Looking at these corpses, I couldn't help but wonder: how could the corpses not rot after being soaked in water for so long? Normally, their bodies would have been swollen with corpse water and eventually surfaced, but the corpses were all sunk to the bottom and relatively well preserved, which was obviously illogical.

Suddenly, I noticed something strange in these corpses, and hurriedly craned my neck to look at them, and found that each of them had six fingers on each hand, and everywhere I looked, without exception.

I can't help but feel a little creepy, this is too weird! All of them are twelve-fingered corpses, if you don't see them with your own eyes, no one will believe them!

I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, I was cold for a while, and I didn't dare to act rashly when I stood still, who knows if these guys will suddenly get up and press me into the water to enjoy it, maybe they ate the deer and Uncle Li!

After a stalemate for a while, nothing happened, and I didn't dare to let my guard down and began to look around for their whereabouts.
