Chapter 35: The Third Night: The Ghost Voice Returns
I was scared half to death in an instant, but before I could react, we were pulled by the vines on our bodies, and the two of us spun around in the air, and the dog gnawed and fell into the water below.
I fell so hard that I slapped it almost flat into the water when I entered the water, and it felt like being slapped hard with a hot water bottle filled with water, but fortunately the water was cold, otherwise I would have turned my back on it.
Fluttered a few times and floated up again, I hurriedly went to find the fat man, and said in my heart that it was bad, this quagmire is the place where the black gas is the thickest, the fat man is already like this, and he fell half to death, and he drank a few sips of water here and died, plus the black shadow just now I don't know what it is, if it is a swamp monster, even I will hang.
I had vines tied to my body, and I couldn't even move smoothly, and even if the fat man could hold up, I wouldn't be able to move him back into the tree, and although I didn't know why my black gas in the tree didn't seem to have a drastic effect, it was still a question of whether I could withstand it myself in such a high concentration here.
But when I looked out of the water, I suddenly found that something was wrong, the water was full of blisters, first, the black gas around me had blocked most of the light, and the visibility was lower than when it was foggy, and second, the whole swamp was full of tumbling muddy water, a piece of turbidity, and I couldn't see the bottom of the water at all, and the fat man didn't know where it was.
Everywhere I listened, it was all the sound of water bubbles, I couldn't hear the same, and I obviously felt that the current was so rapid that I couldn't stabilize myself. I felt strange in my heart, and when I felt it carefully, I realized that it was not only the problem of the water flow, but also the vines on my body, which were originally wrapped around the branches, and now the thick branches of the tree had been washed downstream by the current, and all the pull force was pulled on the vines, and I was carried downstream.
Anyone who has never swam in a natural river will understand this feeling, water is a very heavy thing, even if the current is slow, it is very difficult for you to stay in shape, not to mention that there is such a big thing in front of me, and the effort of looking around has already brought the current stumbling forward for several meters.
At this time, I was even more anxious, I couldn't see the situation around me clearly, there must be a well in front of me, I don't know how big it was, if this branch rushed into the well, the pull might tear me down at once, I didn't even have the strength to resist. And the ruins of the beast's mouth are not far away, this process will definitely not take long, at this time, don't say look for the fat man or be careful of the black shadow, it would be good to be able to leave a whole corpse!
Thinking of this, I immediately took a deep breath and dived into the water to untie my vine, but the vine was pulled so tightly by the huge pull that it was impossible to untie it, and I went to touch the dagger and found that I didn't have it with me.
After my heart was finished, I remembered that the fat man's weapon did not leave his body, and he must have brought it, so I went to find the fat man. So he pounced on the current, and there were vines on him, so I went to the water and touched it.
The water is full of mud, and there are dead people everywhere to touch, almost nothing, but the fat man is big, and he will never drift farther than me, I tried my best to resist the thrust of the water, and finally touched another taut vine, I grabbed the vine and leaned over, and suddenly I saw two or three meters ahead, a black shadow floating on the water, hazy, and I couldn't see what it was.
My heart was furious, looking at the way the shadow was floating, I knew that this was the underwater strange shadow I saw just now, and I had a little ominous premonition in my heart, the end of the vine was this shadow, and my heart said Could it be that the fat man has been eaten by him?
The depth of the water is only more than two meters, and the height of the black shadow protruding from the surface of the water is very high, obviously it is definitely not a fish, what is it? I pulled the vine, and was hesitating what to do, when the shadow suddenly changed shape and disappeared under the water, and then the vine in my hand loosened.
I knew it was bad, it spotted me, and just as I was about to turn around, a huge muddy splash exploded from the swamp, and I saw a pair of big crows bolting towards my neck like lightning.
"I'm your grandfather!" I scolded, my heart said what the hell this is, but it is too close to me, there is no way to avoid it, seeing that the giant turtle is about to clamp my neck, at this time, the power on my waist suddenly tightened, my whole person was suddenly pulled out by the vines, just dodged, I just wanted to say God bless, but found that the power on the waist became extremely domineering, looking back I had been pulled to the ruins of the place, the beast-faced stone sculpture was behind me, with a huge mouth, and the vines had fallen into the mouth, and the mouth could hear the sound of roaring water.
I knew that the branch that was pulling me had fallen into the well, and my heart said God, are you playing tricks on me, and immediately grabbed the rock on one side with my hand, and with a loud roar to freeze my body, I felt that my waist was almost broken, and in the blink of an eye, the water behind me exploded, and the thing came again, and I panicked, and my hand immediately took off, and through the mouth of the beast, my eyes were dark, and my back was empty, and I also fell.
At that moment, the sounds around me disappeared, the miner's lamp on my waist rotated with my spinning body, cutting through the darkness around me, I volleyed around and saw the wall of the well full of ravines washed by the flowing water and the muddy water splashed around, but the fall did not last for many seconds, my back hit something, the whole person was shocked, almost vomited blood, before I could recover from it, my back was empty again, I rolled over again, and then my shoulder hit again. The well was not vertical, as if there was a slope, and it was full of protrusions like rounded steps washed by the water, and I tumbled and fell all the way.
After three or four times I was completely dizzy, until I fell into the water, and I drank a dozen mouthfuls of muddy water, before I struggled to get out of the water, and found myself in a narrow shaft, wrapped in an extremely rapid current, rushing towards a certain place at a very fast speed.
It was pitch black all around, and the narrow feeling was told by the violent roar of the water, and I could touch the shaft wall as soon as I touched it, but I couldn't catch anything, but fortunately, I tied the miner's lamp around my waist before, but in such a rapid current, as long as you move slightly, your movements will be completely chaotic, and even the turbulence that crashes back from the shaft wall will turn directly downward, so I don't dare to act rashly, I can only try my best to maintain my posture.
It didn't take long for me to hear a more violent sound of water coming from ahead, it was like the roar of a water dragon, deafening, and I was horrified to say that I must be going down again, but in the blink of an eye, it was already empty, and then I fell a dozen heels, and found myself falling into a hollow, at which point the water slowed down, and I could control my body.
I immediately took out my miner's lamp and looked around, and found that it was an underground cistern, surrounded by a huge column of water rushing down from the mouth of the shaft on the wall of the pool, as if looking at the flood outlet of the dam, the water splashed all around, the sound was deafening, and I suddenly felt like a cockroach that had been flushed down the toilet, and now it was flushed from the manure to the septic tank.
I fluttered a few times, and found that the water was still flowing slowly in one direction, I swam over, the flashlight shone, and I saw a beast's head on the wall of the well, and the water still flowed into the beast's mouth, but this beast and the above one are not the same, obviously this is just a diversion reservoir, used to store flood to prevent the wall of the well from being washed too much, and around the beast's mouth, I saw a huge mountain-like hideous dead branches almost blocked it, These must have been washed down from the swamp for many years and silted up here.
The branch that was pulling me was also stuck on it, and there was something hanging on it, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a fat man, and he was also washed down.
After returning from Hainan, my swimming skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I don't find it very difficult to move in the water. At once I threw a few times, swam to the pile of dead branches, and swam to the edge and lay down, and saw that the vines on the fat man's body were stuck in the intertwined branches outside the branches, so that he did not sink into the water, and the majestic sound of the water here was much farther away, and my ears could hear things at last.
I dived under the branches, to the fat man's side, I saw that his face was all blue, his breath was weak, and his pulse could hardly be felt, I dived down again, hugged his feet, put his feet on the dead branches, and pushed his stomach with my shoulders, and after a few strokes, he vomited, a ball of muddy water, and then I massaged his chest with my elbow, and the fat man choked on the water, and there was a reaction, a cough.
I was happy in my heart, and my heart said that there was a reaction that there was a door, and I immediately pushed it hard, but I had no strength after a few strokes, and I came up to catch my breath, and my heart said that this will not work, and the fat man will die if he does not do artificial respiration, and I must drag him out of the water and let him lie flat on the branch.
If you want the fat man to go up, I have to go up first, thinking that I started to climb the pile of dead branches, but the branches at the edge do not have enough support, I just go up, and the branches are pressed into the water, and there is a danger of rolling over, the branches roll over, the fat man will be pressed into the water, that is equivalent to me killing him, and most of the thorn branches here are too many, a little big movement will hit the spikes, the pain of my tears are down, and the branches inside have rotted and soft, can not bear the force at all.
In those few minutes, I don't know how many times I climbed, but all of them were trampled off and slipped down between two and three steps, and I finally found in despair that with my own strength, I would never be able to climb up this position. This pile of branches looks like a mountain, but in fact, it is extremely fragile, and it is impossible to treat people at all, in fact, it is only less than half a meter above it can come out of the water, but this half meter is like a chasm, I can't cross it.
This sense of despair was so strong that it would have been nice if there was a cliff in front of me, but with this kind of branch, I suddenly felt as if God was playing with me.
I climbed a few more times, and my hands were broken, and I realized that I would not be able to do it, so I took the fat man, cut the vines with his dagger, and moved the branches to the side, trying to see if there was any easier place to climb on the rock wall, and it was better to have a place to help.
There was no way to swim against the current, so I pushed the fat man around the protruding thorn-like branches, and suddenly I saw a dry well on the other side of the rock wall, probably where it was silted up, and no water rushed out of it. If you look closely, there are quite a few such wells, but they are all in a very high position, and only this one I can do.
I was overjoyed, so I leaned over, first put the fat man aside, and then I grabbed the gap in the stone, and climbed up, and only halfway up I knew that there was a door, and I couldn't help laughing, and then I gritted my teeth and wanted to make a move.
At this time, the fat man who was suddenly on the side suddenly moved and said, "There is no time!" ”
I was startled, turned my head to look, but saw that the fat man did not move at all, nor did he have any expression, I felt strange in my heart, rubbed my temple heart and finished speaking, and began to hallucinate again, suddenly, another clear human voice came out from behind the fat man, and the voice said: "There is no time." ”
