Chapter 25: The Land of the Zombies
As soon as I heard the seventh master say that it was dangerous here, everyone's faces were stagnant, and the seventh master explained: "The sand and soil here are soft, if the underground river speed increases, these holes will be slowly washed down by the river, and when the time comes, the sea water gushes out, and the hole inside the entire mountain will instantly become a water tank filled with water, and we have no way to escape." ”
As he spoke, the Seventh Master stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the holes, and when everyone looked at it, they found that the fine soft mud and sand around the cave entrance were slowly moving towards the hole, obviously affected by the force of the accelerated flow of the river.
"Seventh Master, I suddenly remembered something." Liang Ruoyi suddenly asked: "Those water drifters were also sucked into here, why didn't you see those water drifters?!" When you're on the sea, there are hundreds, if not thousands! ”
"Water drifter......" The seventh master frowned, glanced at the cloth bag monk, and saw that the old monk had a calm face, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with him.
It's confusing, no one has forgotten about those drifters before, but those things are not evil, at least so far in this operation, I haven't felt a chill in the back of my head, which means that there is nothing evil in this area.
"Those things are dead, and there's no threat." Thinking of this, I opened my mouth to comfort Liang Ruoyi.
"I hope so." Liang Ruoyi nodded: "It's one o'clock, let's leave after lunch." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden movement around the ground - "poof", "bang", "coo"!
Such three successive sounds, one after another, sounded in our ears, so that we who stood in the darkness with only the sound of running water were startled, and when we listened carefully, we found that it came from a hole in the ground.
The seventh master was stunned for a moment, shouted "not good", then bowed down, slapped the edge of a hole with a hard palm, instantly collapsed the hole, stretched out an arm along the way, and pulled it hard, "poof" with a muffled sound, and pulled out a dragon head!
In the next few seconds, this sound appeared in the countless holes around us, and when it was calm again, the Budai monk opened his mouth and said, "There is also on the other side." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: what the old monk meant was that on the opposite side of the underground river, there was a section of the same mountain wall, and those dragon heads on the mountain wall were also ejected, so that there were countless holes on both sides of the underground river, which were likely to be washed away in a short time and flood the place.
With the kung fu of the cloth bag monk, you should not be mistaken.
"Master, Seventh Master, at this rate, how long will it take for the riverbank to be washed away?" Liang Ruoyi opened his mouth and asked.
The seventh master was holding a flashlight on the side and looking at the faucet in his hand, and I found that this faucet seemed to have been eroded by river water or wet mud, and at this time it was unrecognizable, and only a round thing remained.
Seeing that the Seventh Master didn't notice Liang Ruoyi's problem, the Budai monk raised his eyes and shone a flashlight on the river: "It won't be too fast, the section of the river with the hole is only a small section after all, and it is estimated that it will take at least two days for the river to gush out and flood here." ”
"This thing seems to be made of a special kind of soil." The Seventh Master suddenly said, "Master, smell and see." ”
The cloth bag monk walked over, reached out and pinched a little dirt on the wet and no longer decent dragon head and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and his eyebrows, which had no eyebrows, wrinkled suddenly: "This is, Luohan soil?!" ”
"What is Luohan soil?" I also followed, reached out and pinched a piece and put it under my nose and sniffed it, and suddenly felt a pungent smell rushing straight to my brain, and in a flash, I almost fainted, and hurriedly dragged Liang Ruoyi next to me to stand firm, grinning and scolding: "Damn!" What is this?! It's so pungent, I didn't smell it when I saw them on the mountain wall before! ”
"Danger!" The seventh master didn't answer my question, but threw the dragon head in his hand into the river with a "poof".
"Let's go!" The seventh master then said.
I didn't understand what was going on at all, but I saw that the Seventh Master and the Budai Monk had already walked quickly towards the city gate, and Liang Ruoyi and I also hurriedly followed up, and after a few steps, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head: "Seventh Master, there is something!" ”
"I know!" The seventh master didn't look back, and his steps were faster: "Hurry up!" ”
In the darkness, the lights of our four flashlights flickered back and forth, and the road in front of us was blurry and difficult to see.
Less than a minute later, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound in the underground river beside him, as if something had come out of it!
Before I could open my mouth to ask, the Seventh Master naturally led us to lean outside, apparently to bypass the underground river as quickly as possible and return to the city gate.
But it seemed that it was too late, and the seventh master stopped without taking a few steps, held his breath, and held a flashlight to shine in front of him.
At this time, the four of us couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, and each of us took out a piece of blood stone and stuffed it into our mouths. The "whooshing" sound of the underground river not far away has also weakened a lot, and the original normal movement has resumed.
The light of four flashlights shone directly ahead, and after a few breaths, there was a sound of heavy, slow footsteps.
"Brush-brush-"
The footsteps sounded tired, and when they took the steps, they didn't leave the ground at all, and dragged on the ground.
Finally, under the watchful eye of everyone, a black figure appeared in our sight - this person was completely black, as if he had just come out of the mud at the bottom of the river, his body was wet, his facial features were all covered with black mud, and only a rough outline could be seen! Under the illumination of the flashlight, it looks shiny and round, like a black balloon man......
"Water drifter?!" When I saw this man's appearance, I chuckled in my heart: "Did this thing just crawl out of the river?!" ”
I was stunned for a while, and no one answered me, because after this swarthy water drifter, a second swarthy water drifter slowly appeared, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth......
"Mom,!" I involuntarily opened my mouth to curse and took a step back, but suddenly I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and hurriedly turned around to look, and saw countless swarthy water drifters behind me!
"Go to the left!" The Seventh Master said softly: "This ghost thing is very slow!" ”
We nodded, and could only try not to alarm these drifters, and went around the mountain wall to the city gate!
When we tiptoed out of the encirclement and turned to look, we found that countless black drifters appeared densely behind us, and it seemed that the hundreds of floaters floating on the sea before had all come to life!
"Run!" Seeing that we were nearly a foot away from the water drifter, the seventh master shouted and greeted us softly.
Everyone hurriedly walked towards the mountain wall in front of them, but after a few steps, a black light suddenly crossed in front of them, directly attacking the Seventh Master in front!
"Be careful!" Liang Ruoyi exclaimed, took out the short blade and slashed directly towards the black mang!
In the panic, I heard a "stabbing sound", and Liang Ruoyi's short blade seemed to be pierced on the slippery ice cube, and it was directly slashed down!
And that Heimang didn't care about Liang Ruoyi's existence at all, and slapped the seventh master's head!
Because the speed of this black mang was too fast, when the seventh master noticed it, he couldn't dodge it, he roared, flipped his palms, and went directly towards the black palm!
"Get out of here!" I yelled and rushed straight towards the shadow!
The black shadow felt the breath on my body, and his body suddenly froze, and at this moment, the seventh master turned around and rushed out, and he bit a piece of the blood stone in his mouth, and opened his mouth to spray on the black shadow's body!
"Bang la", the black shadow suddenly felt pain, and regardless of me standing in front of me, he shook his hand and threw it at the seventh master!
In the darkness, I saw a black thing thrown down from the black shadow's arm and went straight to the chest of the seventh master!
I hurriedly took a flashlight to shine it, the seventh master didn't seem to expect this thing to make a "hidden weapon", because the distance was too close, he didn't stand firm, he could only twist out of thin air, but still didn't dodge, the thing "snapped" and slapped on his right arm!
