Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Toad Returns
The sound of the water stunned us and the insects, and I hurriedly looked down to see the sparkling water where the dim flashlight light had hit, and we were only more than two feet away.
My head heated: "Let's go down into the water and go up with the water, okay?" ”
"You're stupid!" Liang Ruoyi said: "Three hundred meters high, no matter how deep the water is, can you go up?" Besides, even if it's enough to get you up, when the lake outside disappears, how are we going to get out? Go down to 300 meters of water to find a secret passage? Is it possible?! ”
I shrugged, "Well, I was wrong!" ”
The corpses didn't seem to expect the water level to rise so quickly, and flew in mid-air for a while, then rushed towards us again.
Now, they seem to have a common goal, to kill us, and without holding any reservations, they rush towards us with all their might.
"Hey, that's not going to work!" I screamed, looking at the dozen or so corpse turtles rushing towards me, the daggers in their hands stabbing indiscriminately, if this continues, I will die at all!
In the chaos, the nearest cloth bag monk above me jumped down, flew with both palms, and shot down several corpse turtles with a few "pops", and then turned around and shot down several corpse turtles in front of me!
The dagger in my hand stabbed indiscriminately, and also shot down three corpse turtles, at this time, after Liang Ruoyi behind me finished solving the corpse turtle in front of her, he grabbed the stone steps under my feet with both hands, shook his body, and flew up like a swing, kicking down several corpse turtles next to me......
But what I didn't expect was that all the corpses and turtles who were going to attack Liang Ruoyi and Budai Monk saw this scene, and they all changed their direction and attacked the weakest me.
In an instant, more than 20 corpse turtles instantly surrounded me, I screamed, my body shook, and I fell straight down!
My body was suspended in mid-air, the rope around my waist was tight, Liang Ruoyi was almost dragged down by me, and hurriedly grabbed the stone steps on the side, but now, they couldn't help me at all!
Before I saw it, I was about to be bitten to death by the swarming corpse turtles!
As I swayed, I shouted, and the dagger in my hand stabbed indiscriminately. In a trance, I saw the cloth bag monk take out a paper talisman from the cloth bag, flipped his palm, lit it out of thin air, and threw it at me!
Those corpse turtles felt the blazing firelight, and suddenly seemed to see a mortal enemy, turned around and fled, "buzzing" in the air, as if waiting for the next attack.
Liang Ruoyi took the opportunity to hurriedly pull me up, I gritted my teeth and grabbed the stone steps to climb up, snorting and panting, and the back of my hand had been bitten open with two bloody wounds, gurgling blood.
At this time, most of the dozens of corpse turtles have been wiped out by us, and the remaining corpse turtles flew in mid-air, and after waiting for a while, they suddenly turned their heads and flew towards the water, and soon entered the water and disappeared......
"I—Oh my God!" I looked at the Seventh Master weakly: "When this thing enters the water, won't the wings get wet?" What a weird bug......"
The seventh master looked solemn, and looked at the water surface that was still more than a foot away below him: "Well, let's go quickly, I'm afraid they will rush back soon, we still have some advantages on the platform above the stone pillar." ”
The surface of the water looks calm, just rising steadily. I smoothed my breath, stood up cautiously, and continued to walk up with the Budai monks. After walking for a while, it was already more than one o'clock at noon.
"Take a break and have lunch!" The seventh master stopped: "It is estimated that there is a height of about fifty meters from the top, and it will be easier to go up after going up, go out at about four o'clock in the afternoon, there is enough time, everyone is full of spirits." ”
Now my whole body is stiff, because the mental and physical tension is high, every step is difficult, and the muscles are already stiff. I carefully sat down on the stone steps, rubbed my hands twice, and rubbed my legs.
The water level below him is still slowly rising, and it is estimated that the rainstorm outside is now in the final round of wild fall, and the lake outside will not disappear for a while.
"There is so much water, it is at least more than 100 meters deep now, although the area here is smaller than the lake outside, but it is terrifying enough." Liang Ruoyi took out the food from the bag and handed it to me, and took a bite of the bread herself.
Everyone was tired enough, sitting on the stone steps and eating silently, unable to say a word.
After ten minutes of work, I still wanted to sit and rest for a while, when the seventh master above suddenly said, "Something is wrong, those corpses and turtles in this water...... Let's hurry, I guess there's something wrong in the water. ”
The seventh master said and beckoned the old clam to get up and continue to climb up, I was really tired, I stood up tremblingly, and crawled up with my hands and feet.
Finally, after a few minutes, the flashlight in our hands was able to see the top of the stone pillar, almost three feet high, and we were able to go up!
I suddenly saw hope and gritted my teeth and climbed up. At this time, the water below us is still nearly three feet away, and it seems that the rate of rise is slowing down.
Suddenly, a string of bubbles burst out of the water, and before I could react, I heard a loud shout: "Hurry up!" Hurry up and climb up! ”
I was stunned, isn't this the sound of a toad?! Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a splash in the water, and a figure rushed out of the water, crawling up fiercely, it was a toad that swam from nowhere!
"Let's go! There's a big bug! The toad shouted loudly, and as soon as the seventh master above heard this, he hurriedly followed and beckoned us to climb up quickly!
I held my last breath and tried to climb up, and only then did I come back to my senses, the white jade that I saw with the toad in the tomb yesterday should be the big insect he said in his mouth! The big insect must have sensed someone's touch on it, woke up from its slumber, and brought the greedy toad that was desperately grabbing it by the way!
But this kid also has a big fate, and after a day and a night, he is still alive and well!
Seeing that the six people who were desperate for their lives were still about to reach the top of the stone pillar at a distance, there was a loud "bang" under them, and dozens of small white corpse turtles rushed out angrily and rushed towards us like crazy!
Behind them, a giant corpse turtle with a head as big as a watermelon and a body the size of a water tank appeared in the water below us, clutching the stone steps with several feet, and "snapping" upwards.
Liang Ruoyi, who was closest to it, was so frightened that her face turned red, no matter how bold Rao is, she is also a girl's family, not to mention that girls are naturally afraid of insects, at this time, seeing such a huge large-mouthed beetle with a white body and a swarthy head, can he not scare his life even if he is a man!
Liang Ruoyi, who was so frightened that he went crazy, untied the rope around his waist, and completely released the special forces kung fu he had practiced since he was a child, and used his hands and feet together, like walking on the ground, and he jumped on top of me in the blink of an eye!
"Hey!" I looked at the rope that was only left of me, and I was about to cry: "You don't need it, do you?!" Hell, or me?! ”
The cloth bag monk and the seventh master above, at this time were also entangled by those small corpse turtles, seeing a big one below, suddenly no longer left his hand, the seventh master hung the rope on the stone steps, suspended his palm, shot down several corpse turtles one after another, the old clam was even more brave, saw the corpse turtle that bit himself, took out a pair of black gloves from the bag and put it on his hand, saw the corpse turtle stretched out his hand to grab, grabbed it and pressed it on the stone pillar, and pressed its wings, limbs and feet to fly around, and fell down in an uproar.
But they all have kung fu, what should I do?! I didn't even pay attention to the little corpse turtle rushing around me at this time, and crawled up headless and brainlessly—relatively speaking, I was still more afraid of the disgusting big worm below!
Seeing this, the cloth bag monk frowned and flipped through a cloth bag, drove out a few paper talismans, ignited them out of thin air, and with a dashing wave, the fire soared into the sky in an instant, and the temperature around the body rose suddenly, most of those corpse turtles were ignited with the weakest wings and fell into the water, and the rest were also extremely flustered, scurrying around like headless flies, and were killed by Liang Ruoyi and toads taking advantage of the situation!
In an instant, we turned from the weak side to the upper hand, and the corpse turtle king was stunned for a while when he saw this, as if he was extremely annoyed, "whoosh", the huge wings opened in the water, and the splash splashed me, and when I came back to my senses, the corpse turtle king had already spread his wings and flew over!
