Chapter 31: Three people were lost in a row
More than ten seconds later, Qiye and I both heard the sound of running water, as if the water in the upper reaches of the river was rising sharply.
"Not good!" The seventh master greeted the old clam: "Everyone is ready to go by water!" β
The old clam replied, and hurriedly took out the life jacket from the backpack and distributed it to everyone, and I took it with a wry smile, thinking that this was the second time in a row that I had to work in the water!
As soon as I put on my life jacket, I heard a muffled sound of "poof" in the river behind me, and a splash of water instantly drenched me in the soup, and I was just about to turn around to scold, when I saw a black shadow jumping up from the river, two wings waved violently, and two larger splashes rushed directly towards me!
I didn't have time to dodge and was knocked to the ground by two waves!
"Snake?!" In the panic, I heard the toad scream, and Liang Ruoyi drilled directly into the river with a short blade.
"Old clam, you protect Xiao Gu!" The Seventh Master shouted loudly and attacked with the Budai monk.
I crawled back to the old clam from the river, and then I gasped and stood up to look overβon the surface of the river, a brown snake with a human face and a jackal body about a foot tall and about a foot long was fighting fiercely with the seventh master and the old monk.
This snake is slightly larger than the second one seen in the underground dragon vein in Jilin City before.
It was the first time I had seen it in the daytime, and I found it even more strange: a jackal had a long giraffe-like neck on its body, two wings on its body, and what was even more terrifying, it had a human face on that neck, and its facial features were clear, and it was only when the mouth was opened that the fangs of that mouth felt like a beast......
There is such a strange thing in the world!
That Liang Ruoyi probably wants to repeat the old trick, in the water, the weakness of the snake is in the abdomen. The Seventh Master and the Budai Monk naturally knew Liang Ruoyi's thoughts, and the two of them were just constantly dodging the snake's attacks on the river bank to attract its attention.
After more than ten seconds, the snake suddenly stopped attacking, and the human face with the size of the basin actually grinned, and one wing slapped heavily on the water!
A splash flashed, and Liang Ruoyi's figure rushed out of the river, half-squatting on the ground and panting: "...... was discovered"
I saw that Liang Ruoyi had three blood marks on his shoulder, and his clothes were also scratched, it should be that the snake pretended not to see Liang Ruoyi enter the water, and when Liang Ruoyi was about to start, he slammed his hand and slapped Liang Ruoyi who was unprepared with his claws underwater.
", look at me!" Seeing this, the old clam directly took out a small black ball from his backpack and ran over with a bang: "Seventh master, master, dodge!" β
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself that could it be that the old clam wanted to blow up that snake?!
Sure enough, the old clam saw the opportunity and threw the black ball the size of a fingernail at the snake! The Seventh Master and the Budai Monk hurriedly retreated, but Liang Ruoyi, who had just escaped from the water, dived into the water again at the moment when he turned into a snake and was stunned!
When the black ball was about to hit the snake, the old clam pressed the miniature remote control in his hand.
With a loud "boom", I saw that the black ball exploded violently in front of the snake, and the snake didn't know what it was, the first half of the bombed body was splashed with blood, and a pair of wings flapped indiscriminately and retreated.
And at this moment, Liang Ruoyi under the water suddenly made a move, the snake's body stagnated, and when he lowered his head, he saw a ball of blood gushing out under his body, and he screamed, and his huge body continued to struggle in the water, splashing up a cloud of waves.
Liang Ruoyi also quickly came out of the water, standing on the bank with a bow, looking at the snake that was constantly struggling in the river, his eyes were full of coldness.
After about five minutes, the snake finally slowly lost consciousness, tilted its head, and collapsed on the water. At the same time, the river is already flowing very fast, and the water level is rising rapidly.
"Hurry up, along the river!" The Seventh Master shouted, and walked down the river first.
I hurried to follow, looking around as I went. Looking up after dawn, you can see the cliff we came down yesterday, the height is about 500 meters, the whole cliff face is uneven, it looks very steep. The thought of climbing down this cliff yesterday gives me goosebumps.
The shore was overgrown with weeds and gravel, with a thin layer of snow in a few places. As the water level rises, the river overflows the channel and slowly swallows the banks.
After walking for more than half an hour, the road on the shore was less than 20 centimeters. When the road disappeared completely after five minutes, the river in front of me suddenly turned 90 degrees sharply into a huge cave!
This black cave is more than two zhang high, three or four zhang wide, and the edge of the cave entrance is full of strange rocks, uneven, but like the big mouth of a monster.
When the river turns into the cave, the flow slows down and the river widens, so that when you look into it with the naked eye, you can't see how deep the hole is, only a black hole in the depths.
"Get into the water!" The seventh master said.
I was stunned: "Seventh Master, why are you in such a hurry?" β
The seventh master had a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid that something will go wrong, I don't know anything about this place." β
The group nodded, slowly descended into the water, and walked deeper into the cave.
The water temperature is very low, but what is incomprehensible is that there is still snow in the valley, but this inland river is neither frozen nor cold, and even a little warm.
Soon, we walked into the depths of the extremely dark cave, and three flashlights lit up and shone inside the cave.
It was empty, there was nothing, except for a few stones that were sticking out of the river, and only the slow river was left. And the river is very shallow, I am 1.80 meters tall, standing on the edge of the river, the river is just over my chest. Of course, it is not known how deep the middle of the river is.
There was silence throughout the cave, except for the sound of the water as we moved forward, and then the sound of dripping water.
After walking for about ten minutes, the back of my head suddenly felt cold, and I subconsciously touched the back of my head: "It's not good, there's something!" β
The Seventh Master frowned: "No, this is just coming here, there will be evil things?" β
As soon as the words fell, the toad on the side suddenly shook its body, shouted, and suddenly fell into the water, and disappeared in an instant!
This was just a blink of an eye, and when the toad disappeared, everyone came back to their senses, and the old clam clapped his hands: "Toad?!" Then he plunged headlong into the water to find the toad.
"What?!" I instinctively leaned towards Liang Ruoyi and opened my mouth to ask.
"I don't know." The smile on the Seventh Master's face disappeared, replaced by a cautious face: "Will there be evil things in this kind of place?" It's incredible......"
"Poof!"
Before the seventh master finished speaking, he saw a splash on the water surface a zhang away, and then he regained his calm again.
"Not good! Old clam?! The Seventh Master shouted and plunged into the water.
I was stunned, and in Liang Ruoyi's disdainful eyes, I took out the dagger and held it in my hand.
The three of us stood in place and waited for two minutes, looking at each other, each other's faces were full of solemnity - don't think about it, first the toad suddenly disappeared, and then the old clam looking for the toad disappeared, and now the seventh master has not come out for more than two minutes, and he should have also encountered an accident......
We were completely caught off guard, and we said to the Seventh Master before, this place should still be on the edge of Li Longji's tomb, and we didn't even think it was on the edge, but right here, we lost three people in the blink of an eye, and their whereabouts are unknown!
"Gu Rui, the back of your head?" Liang Ruoyi looked at me and asked.
I nodded, indicating that I was still chilling, and that there were evil things around here.
"Close to Xiao Gu and move forward." The cloth bag monk, who had not spoken, said.
Liang Ruoyi and I nodded, and the two of them pressed close to my sides, because the aura on my body would make ordinary evil creatures feel frightened and would not venture over. And the two of them also stuffed a hundred blood stones into their mouths and slowly walked forward.
In the silent and dark cave, I didn't dare to come out, and walked slowly, the flashlight in my hand shone in front of me, and one hand was still tightly pulling Liang Ruoyi's arm......
A few minutes later, I saw several black masses floating on the water not far ahead, motionless, just floating quietly on the water, slowly flowing with the river.
