Chapter 442: Curse?
As soon as I heard this voice, my heart was filled with excitement.
But it's a pity that I can't scream anymore, and I want to call "help" but I have already sunk into the water.
As soon as I sank, I desperately tread the water and went upstream, however. This water is flowing, and the speed is still very fast, the main thing is that this water is the same as ice water, cold and biting, I have never understood what it is like to fall into an ice cellar, but this time I have experienced it myself.
Even though I was pushing my legs hard, the more I struggled and sank faster because of the strong current. The main thing is that my hands are tied, and I can't float my body on my legs alone.
Luckily, the underground river didn't seem to be very deep, and I was quickly swept to the bottom by the rapids. I felt my feet touch the bottom of the water, and I kicked hard ≤ I was out of the water.
Sadly, as soon as I emerged from the water, I saw a solid stone wall in front of me. I think it's too late to get out of the way.
"Bang". I hit my head against the stone wall, felt dizzy, and was swept into the water again by the torrent.
At this moment, I had a thought in my heart, this time I was really going to hang.
However, what I didn't expect was that just as I was about to fall unconscious, I was suddenly grabbed by the collar by a large and powerful hand. This hand carried me to the shore in one fell swoop.
"Ahem, cough, cough, cough......" After I coughed violently, I looked at it and realized that the person who arrested me ashore was actually Li Dakui.
"Master!" I exclaimed.
"Shhhh......h
With the help of these flashlights, I found that this seems to be a large underground cave, and Li Yao's people should have landed ashore soon as they fell just now, so they are in the upper reaches of this underground river. At this time, more than a dozen flashlights were shining everywhere around.
I visually inspected them, and I should have been at least a hundred meters away from them at this point. Obviously, in just this short period of time, I was swept up 100 meters away by the current.
Luckily, the underground river seemed to be twisting and turning, and we were right around the corner. So they didn't find me and Li Dakui.
"What about the three of them, hurry up and look for it, if you live to see people die, you must see corpses, and you must not leave a living mouth." At this moment, Li Yao shouted.
"Hurry up and chase downstream, they'll be swept down." Someone shouted.
"Chasing ......"
……
"Leave them alone, and come back to trouble them later." Li Dakui picked me up as soon as he said a word.
He carried me like a chick to a small cave next to me, because he was on a rope behind my back, so that my whole body was suspended in the air.
He's fast. It only took a few seconds to carry me into the cave.
It was pitch black in the cave, and I felt that the noisy sound outside had become very quiet, so I whispered, "Master, go and save Brother Rong and Xiaohan......"
"Roar, don't worry, they already have someone to help." Li Dakui said this, and then put me on the ground and untied the rope for me.
"Why are you tied up here by them?" Li Dakui asked me.
"It's hard to say, you better hurry up and see them! They were all tied up just like me, and I was afraid they would ......"
"Don't worry, we'll see you as soon as you fall." Li Dakui said.
When I heard him say that, I was relieved.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Dakui's words fell, I heard a few footsteps not far away, and soon, I saw Yang Lili and Zhao Xiaotian walking towards us with Zhang Yihan and Zhou Rong.
It was also at this time that I realized that the hand that Zhao Xiaotian was holding at the beginning should have been Yang Lili's.
"Xiaolin, are you alright?" As soon as Zhang Yihan saw me, he came over and grabbed my hand.
Seeing her look so worried, my heart warmed. I also asked with concern: "I'm fine, you and Brother Rong are fine, right?" ”
"Of course it's okay, with us, what can they do?" Zhao Xiaotian shook his head. I haven't seen him for a long time, and he still hasn't changed this habit.
As soon as Zhao Xiaotian's words fell, Zhang Yihan said with disdain: "You are embarrassed to say that you originally went to save Brother Rong, but in the end, it was Brother Rong who saved you, and I really convinced you." ”
"Hehe...... Zhao Xiaotian touched the back of his head with some embarrassment: "Who told him to get up by himself...... The main thing is that I haven't eaten for half a month, I'm hungry, how can I have the strength! ”
"What's going on?" I asked, frowning.
"Don't mention it, I'll be angry when I think about it." Zhao Xiaotian looked at Zhou Rong with disdain: "Originally, I jumped into the river to catch this kid, but I didn't expect that I didn't catch it for a long time after jumping down, but it turned out that he fished me up......"
Zhao Xiaotian was born with a bit of a funny temperament when he spoke, and I almost didn't laugh out loud when I heard him say this.
"Okay, okay, now is not the time to chat, hurry up, you were tied up by them, they didn't see you, they will definitely look for you everywhere." Yang Lili said in a deep voice.
After Yang Lili finished speaking, she said to Zhao Xiaotian: "Boss Zhao, hurry up and lead the way!" ”
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaotian shook his head, turned around and walked towards the depths of the cave on one side.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly said, "You have to keep up, if you take the wrong path, you will be trapped here." ”
Originally, I still didn't understand why Zhao Xiaotian said that, but after walking a few steps, I found that the caves in it were very complex, criss-crossed, with branches every few steps, and each hole was about the same size. Indeed, as Zhao Xiaotian said, it is estimated that if you are not careful, it is very likely to take a fork in the road.
Immediately after, Zhao Xiaotian took us to turn left and right in the cave, and I don't know how long it took, and at first I still remembered the route he walked. Later, I realized that there was no pattern to his rotation at all, and I gave up.
In this way, we followed Zhao Xiaotian for almost ten minutes, and no one spoke along the way. Because Zhao Xiaotian said that there was a big echo in this cave, he was worried that his words would be heard by others.
But after walking for more than ten minutes, this joke suddenly said: "Okay, after this hole, you can blow water casually, damn, suffocate me." ”
"I'm going to suffocate you to death if I haven't spoken for more than ten minutes?" Zhang Yihan glanced at Zhao Xiaotian.
To say that among our group of people, Zhang Yihan should be the most unaccustomed to Zhao Xiaotian. The main thing is that this animal likes to offend him, and he speaks in every way, and he always likes to tease Zhang Yihan. Sometimes he digs into my corner in front of me, saying that he calls Zhang Yihan to follow him, how can Zhang Yihan have a good face for him.
"You don't understand, talking is also a kind of exercise, and more exercise can lead to longevity." Zhao Xiaotian shook his head and turned his gaze to me: "Xiaolin, who are those people, how did you get tied up here by them?" ”
"It's a long story, you can't think of who the leader is?" I sold a pass.
"Who?" Zhao Xiaotian stared at me with great interest. Not only him, but even Li Dakui and Yang Lili seem to be very interested in this topic.
"Li Yao!" I said slowly.
"What is Li Yao?" Zhao Xiaotian said blankly.
"Have you forgotten the five people in that old photo? Lin Zhenguo, Qin Zheng, Wang Feilong, Li Yao, Liu Zhiqiang......"
"Oh oh, by the way, you seem to have mentioned it, but shouldn't that guy have hung up a long time ago?" Zhao Xiaotian frowned.
"Actually, it's just our guess to say that he hung up, he didn't show up at that time, and Zheng Yuan told me that he hadn't appeared since he was infected with that virus, so of course we would take it for granted that he was dead a long time ago. I didn't expect him to be the one who really had the last laugh! I shook my head: "By the way, you wouldn't guess that he was actually with us for a long time." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xiaotian glared at me: "I said, why do you speak, can you speak clearly?" ”
"If you see someone, you must know him, he is actually Li Batian......"
"What, Li Batian? Li Min's grandfather? Zhao Xiaotian exclaimed.
"Well, when I saw him for the first time, I thought he was Li Batian, but I didn't expect him to say that he said Li Yao."
"Damn, this old Wang Ba is hiding quite deeply!" Zhao Xiaotian scolded.
"Well, he endured it until Qin Zheng went crazy before it was exposed, which shows that his scheming is probably not inferior to Qin Zheng." I said, "By the way, have you been here since you disappeared half a month ago?" Didn't you get stuck in the swamp, how did you end up here? ”
"Alright, this is going to be longer than yours, you just need to know that the swamp can get here." Zhao Xiaotian shook his head: "Liu Zhiqiang should have used this method to fake his death......
"That's not right!" I interrupted Zhao Xiaotian's words: "If you say so, wouldn't Qin Zheng and the others already know about this place?" ”
"NO, NO, NO......" Zhao Xiaotian shook his head again and again: "This place is only known to me and Ge Lao......"
"What, only you and Elder Ge know?" I exclaimed.
"Do you remember when I disappeared with Ge Lao in Lotus Mountain last year? That time, Ge Lao brought me here to see it. ”
Hearing Zhao Xiaotian say this, all of us stopped.
I, Zhou Rong, Yang Lili, Li Dakui, Zhang Yihan and Wu all stared at Zhao Xiaotian with their eyes, and I could see that the kid's heart was furious.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Xiaotian was a little flustered.
"You've been here a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier?" I finally couldn't help but curse.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that Ge Lao won't let me say it, he told me to swear to God, and I must keep this secret." Zhao Xiaotian said: "You also know that I am a very trustworthy and principled person, and I promise things that others don't say to the outside world, even if I ask me, I won't say it." ”
"It's right that you keep your word, but can't you reveal a little bit about such a big thing to us?" I was a little angry.
I'm not kidding this time, I'm really a little angry.
We have worked so hard to track down Qin Zheng for so long, if we had known that his purpose was here, we wouldn't have had to work so hard. But this animal knew about it a long time ago, but it kept it a secret from us.
"Okay, okay, you don't talk so much nonsense, even if I tell you about this earlier, what's the use of it for you?" Zhao Xiaotian said disdainfully: "Besides, if I had told you that there is a treasure of today here, would you believe it?" I guess you think I'm bragging! Also, Ge Lao told me this secret that he actually wanted me to protect this treasure, and told me not to come down privately, otherwise I would definitely be cursed. ”
"Cursed?" Zhang Yihan and I exclaimed in unison.
"Well, he said that when the treasure in it was sealed, there was a very powerful wizard who put a very powerful curse here, if anyone dared to fight the idea of this batch of treasures, they would definitely be cursed, and no one would get out alive."
"Do you believe that?" I looked disdainful.
"Of course I believe it......" After Zhao Xiaotian finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and showed us his hands: "Look at ......"
I saw that there were many small red spots on Zhao Xiaotian's hands, some were the size of little fingers, and some were the size of thumbs, especially on the palms and ten fingers, all of which were full of this kind of red spots.
"This, what's going on?" I suddenly became nervous.
