Chapter 165: The Tongue
"If you ask me, who do I ask, the hell knows what this place is!" Jiu Ye said, shaking the flashlight in his hand is also a little stunned, other things are better to say, as we go deeper inside, the surrounding environment is getting colder and colder, and, although the road in front of us is relatively smooth, we invariably feel that everyone seems to be going down.
Looking at the increasingly damp stone walls around them, an inexplicable fear was added, and if these were not exciting enough, then the patches of blood stains that appeared on both sides from time to time at different times were obviously a little too much. The air was filled with a very uncomfortable fishy smell. Here, there is blood, but it smells much worse than blood, and if you distinguish it carefully, there is still a little bit of the strange smell brought out by the mucus on the water monkey's body, but it is certain that these two things are not the same.
"Wait a minute." Standing still, the ninth master waved his hand and said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was listening, I asked in a low voice.
"Like, there's the sound of water." Jiu Ye said, took a flashlight and looked around, then put his ear to the wall and listened carefully, and after listening for a long time, he stood up straight and said to us: "There is the sound of water, we seem to have walked to the underground estuary." ”
"Are you sure?!" When I heard this, I felt a little sore in the egg, the underground river thing, it's not a big deal, but the altitude of this kind of thing is generally very low, usually, it is easier to see under the valley, but all the way on the mountainside, who would have thought that I would walk to the mouth of an underground river!?
Isn't that a fuss?
I thought about it, shook my head, and said that I wouldn't believe that there was such a thing, but seeing that Jiu Ye's expression didn't look like he was joking, I didn't say much, the three of us continued to walk down, and soon found a little abnormality, and on the ground in front of me, there was suddenly a large amount of water stains.
The water stain was a meter wide and thick, and it made us cough when we got closer.
Immediately after, the three of us took a few steps backwards and hurriedly scanned the surroundings with our flashlights.
It was a mass of slime, which looked like a large piece of saliva spit out of something, especially the very pungent smell, it was hard to make people think that our speculation was groundless, and, very unsettlingly, at the end of the water stain that snaked forward, we saw countless white bones, hemispherical skulls, crescent-shaped jaws, slender arms and thighs, and the ribs and joints scattered spine Bones were scattered around in a disorderly manner, large and small. Underneath the slime, there were broken steps, gloves, ripped open rucksacks, and even some canned salted fish that hadn't been fully opened
We walked over, looked at the white bones all over the ground for a while, judging from the style in front of us, the dead people here are above double digits, and then look forward, the pieces of white bones that have become gray and black are even more frightening, I glanced at the ninth master, the mood is very complicated, it seems, those ** parts that came into the valley have been digested by something here, no wonder I only saw a few corpses of small Japan a long time ago along the way, it turned out that the latecomers were buried here.
"It's supposed to be a huge reptile, you see, so many bones, it doesn't look like it's overdigested and discharged, but it looks like it's corroded by gastric juice and then comes up from the esophagus, this way of digestion is very old, only some bugs and reptiles do this." After rummaging between the white bones, I picked up a rusty bayonet, and said to the Ninth Master while paying attention to the surroundings.
Hearing this, the ninth master nodded, then looked at the surrounding environment and said to me: "You are right, but reptiles are cold-blooded, and they can only move at will when the temperature of the outside reaches a certain level. ”
"If that's what I'm seeing, I think it's a python, and I see its eyes, and I can't be wrong. You say, chubby. As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Chubby, but when I turned around, I saw Chubby standing there with a flashlight, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, as if our conversation was completely out of his concern.
"What's wrong with you?" As I spoke, I walked over and patted him, and when Chubby saw this, he shuddered suddenly, and then pointed to the seemingly calm underground river in front of me and said, "Then what is that?"
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, I and Jiu Ye were both startled, and turned our heads to see that the end of this white bone array was originally a place similar to a slope, an underground river passed through the mountain at the end of the slope, and on the tidal flat on the other side of the slowly flowing underground dark river, a rickety black figure was staring at us there with his back on his back
The distance is a bit far, and the beam of the flashlight becomes very limited in the process of consumption on the road, so it is still difficult to see it clearly even if we point the beam of light in our hands at the same time, but from a distance, it looks like a very hunched old lady looking at us in a cloak and crutches
Kindness?
A spirit, I was frightened by the scene in front of me, I leaned over to the ninth master, and asked in a low voice: "Ninth master, what is that?" ”
"It's too far away to see clearly." Jiu Ye said, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and could see that although this old guy insisted on letting us in, in fact, he was not much better than us, and he was also a little scared in the face of such a scene.
"Eh, don't argue, I have a telescope in my backpack." Fat said, staring at the thing while slightly sideways, as soon as I heard this, I quickly reached out and unzipped the outer backpack of the little fat and took out the very professional binoculars, its telescope is a good thing, but it is not night vision, through the beam of the flashlight of the ninth master and the little fat I took a look at the thing opposite, take a closer look, the black piece can not see what shape it is, only feel that the guy's body is full of soil, the head is a little pointed, the neck is very long, The two short, thick claws under the crooked neck curled up, and then
Kindness?!
Suddenly, a long thread of silk spat out of its mouth and retracted it at an uncatchable speed!!
