Chapter 596: Crawl Quickly
This time going back, Hua Ye was at the top of the spiral ladder, Gao Chao was in the middle, and Xia Qing was hanging his head and following at the end.
Xia Qing ran down the spiral ladder in a panic just now, and unconsciously came down more than twenty meters, and when she walked back at this time, she still felt some guilt in her heart, so she hung her head and blamed herself in the bottom of her heart, feeling that it was too unreasonable to do that just now.
In her heart, she walked slower than the others, her steps were lighter, and her surroundings seemed to become darker and quieter.
Suddenly, inadvertently, she seemed to be in her peripheral vision, and saw something flashing on the wall beside her, which made Xia Qing, who was originally a little slippery, shudder, turn her head to look at it sharply, and stopped at the same time.
In the dimness, the surface of the wall was abnormally smooth, and even reflected the faint waves, how could anything crawl from such a wall.
But Xia Qing was very confident in what she saw or felt, which had something to do with her profession and her stubborn character, so she walked on the spiral staircase on that floor and gradually leaned towards the wall.
Then she slowly reached out and touched the smooth wall with her slender fingers.
"It's so ice." Xia Qing said secretly, the moment her fingertips touched the wall, a cold feeling seemed to have hit her body.
The wall was icy and slippery, and it was unlikely that anything could crawl on it, but the scene she had just seen seemed real, and she remembered that there were small things that passed from the bottom to the top of the wall, and although it was dim, she thought she had seen it.
"You can't really be delusional, right?"
Thinking to herself, she couldn't help but look down the wall.
The light of the diving lamp didn't shine far, but below her, there was a spiral ladder that swirled down, and there was a hollow darkness that looked like a large round mouth with fangs, ready to swallow them at any moment.
Xia Qing suddenly felt a chill again.
"Looks like I really got it wrong this time." Xia Qing finally told himself this in his heart.
At the same time, Gao Chao, who was walking on it, had just discovered that Xia Qing had fallen behind, and he and Hua Ye had almost walked out of this deep well-like passage.
He became uneasy, and hurriedly shouted, "Xia Qing, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you hurry up? ”
Xia Qing responded, looked up, and no longer thought about the "hallucination" that appeared just now.
However, she was about to continue walking up the spiral staircase when she suddenly heard a "rustling" sound in the passage below her.
The sound sounded faint and faint, but it caught Xia Qing's attention again.
She stopped, looked up at Hua Ye and Gao Chao, and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
Hua Ye and Gao Chao were in a relatively high position, and both of them were looking at Xia Qing, but they both had blank looks on their faces.
"Hear what?" Gao Chao asked nervously.
Xia Qing listened attentively and said, "It's a sound, it's getting clearer and clearer, just like ...... It's like a lot of bugs crawling. ”
When she described that voice like this, even she couldn't help but shudder.
Hua Ye and Gao Chao's faces had also changed, not only because the two of them had heard Xia Qing's words, but also because they had also heard the kind of "squirming", like the sound of countless insects crawling.
"Xia Qing!" Gao Chao finally shouted loudly: "Quick, come up!" ”
No matter what the sound was, Xia Qing didn't have time to think, because the sound was no longer just clear, and now, the sound of "rustling" had almost become a noise, it was getting closer and closer, louder and louder, and she didn't have to look at the darkness below to know that the thing that made this sound was already close to her.
She ran upwards as fast as she could, but suddenly felt a gust of wind around her, mixed with a fishy smell that smelled disgusting.
This gust of wind came from under the deep well, and in an instant, it had already enveloped Xia Qing, who had fled in a hurry, her eyes narrowed and she covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and suddenly, he found that the surrounding walls were full of things that were flashing rapidly.
They were dense, milky white in color, and they crawled quickly along the wall from bottom to top, and it was they who made that "rustling" sound, but they moved so fast that Xia Qing couldn't see what those things were clearly at a distance of about a meter.
Just when Xia Qing stared at the place, suddenly her arm was grabbed, she exclaimed loudly, and turned her head to look.
"Don't be afraid, it's me!" Gao Chao was already in front of her, grabbed her arm, and said.
Xia Qing's breathing had become rapid due to nervousness, she nodded, and then ran up with Gao Chao.
Hua Ye Ben was at the spiral staircase above the superlative, and while he used a diving lamp to illuminate them, he noticed that the fast-moving things on the walls seemed to have begun to climb the spiral staircase.
"Be careful!" Hua Ye shouted, and he also ran down from above.
Gao Chao and Xia Qing looked back, only to find that on the spiral ladder below, there were some milky white things climbing up quickly, and from a distance, those milky white things were like a wave of white waves, in this dark deep well, spiraling upward, and at the same time making that disturbing "rustling" sound.
Hua Ye had already run in front of Gao Chao and Xia Qing, and he shouted loudly: "You guys go up quickly, I'll cover you." ”
Gao Chao glanced at Hua Ye, because Hua Ye was still carrying a diving bag, he felt that Hua Ye should have some equipment to deal with these things, so he nodded, and pulled Xia Qing to run up desperately.
However, when they ran to the top of the spiral staircase, they found that the milky white things that had come up along the smooth walls had also climbed to the ground.
They were so fast that they spread out in all directions, like spring water pouring into a spring, and in the sound of "rustling", the entire huge room floor was quickly occupied.
Gao Chao and Xia Qing stood on the spiral staircase, and finally saw what those milky white things were.
I saw that those things were the size of mice, with two rows of slender feet growing on them, and those feet were constantly moving rapidly, driving their fat, milky-white, knotted bodies, and their heads were even more distinctive, with a pair of large black eyes on a helmet-like hard shell, two long tentacles above the eyes, and a tube as sharp as a steel needle under the eyes.
