Chapter 27: Fire Earthworms
At this time, Zhu Zizhang said: "You still remember the speedboat just now, it is still very new, it must be the people who came before us, ran aground and sank here, but we only saw one ship sink, and there are two groups of people who came this time, so I guess that some of those people have already entered the Water God Cave."

"Well, that's for sure, what Chen Shen said is right, then Yang Xiaohua has already entered it, she is good, last time in the Yanmen Pass Underground Palace, she intended to retain her strength, I guess she just came to determine something. This time she entered here one step ahead of us, which means that she already knew about the Water God Cave, but why didn't she enter the Water God Cave first and choose to go to the Yanmen Pass Underground Palace? Tongtong, you have a bright brain, you can analyze it. Ye Fan asked.
"What else is this, it means that if they want to enter the Water God Cave, they need something from the Yanmen Pass Underground Palace, or some key information, to enter it. It's also possible that they deliberately lured their parents in, and then they followed them in. Ye Tong analyzed.
Ye Xi couldn't care about his anger just now, anyway, he came and went quickly. She immediately said: "In the Yanmen Pass Underground Palace, Steve also used the eldest brother to explore the underground palace, and they followed in, I think it may be the latter." ”
"Not necessarily, Yang Xiaohua is the descendant of Yang Liuniang, and the existence of a talisman bone whip means that she has obtained Yang Liuniang's inheritance, she is a terrible woman, and she has great ability. So she won't be like Steve, the first one is a little more likely. And this Ma Wei is not an ordinary person, you don't know him, I know, the grandson of Ma Lao Wu in Bajie, I saw it back then, when he was still young, his name was Ma Wei, and he was Ma Lao Wu's favorite grandson. Zhu Zizhang said.
"Now it's okay, most of the descendants of the Eight Masters have come, does the Water God Cave have any connection with the underground palace you went to back then?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"Only your parents know about this, I guess everyone who came this time is because your parents came here, and there may be something here that only your parents can open. No, it's something that only your mother can turn on. Zhu Zizhang analyzed.
Ye Xi muttered curiously: "Is my mother a human or not, why do I sound like my mother is not human." ”
Ye Tong sighed: "Now I'm ninety percent sure, my mother is definitely not an ordinary human being. ”
"Be careful, everyone, the water level has dropped." Ye Fan saw some spear-like stalagmites exposed under the water, and vaguely saw that some bones were pierced by stalagmites and sank to the bottom of the water.
Zhu Zizhang asked, "Zhou Song, have you heard any rumors here?" ”
"There are a lot of this, the old people in the village say that there is a dragon in the water god cave, but no one has seen it, and there are also people who say that the water god is actually the dragon king. There is a legend that a long time ago, a dragon was imprisoned here by the gods of Heaven for making a mistake, and later this dragon became the god of water here. Let me tell you, this legend was secretly passed on by our younger generation, and if the old people heard it, they would scold us for being disrespectful to the god of water and would be punished. Zhou Song whispered, as if he would be heard by the elders in the village.
Ye Tong laughed and said, "There are no dragons in the world, this is just a legend..."
Before she could finish speaking, she happened to see a wave of water next to the boat through the light of the flashlight, and a long black shadow swimming beside them below, the black shadow was very long, and it really looked like a dragon.
The people on the boat all saw the black shadow, their hair exploded, they all froze in place, turned off all the flashlights, and even Zhou Song stood still, not daring to row again, closing his eyes and praying for something.
In the darkness and silence, they could clearly hear a huge object swimming by, and they could feel a huge thing cocking up, as if it was looking at them.
Fortunately, this black shadow only passed by, and the sound of swimming water gradually faded away, and when the surroundings fell silent again, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the people on the boat did not dare to move for a while, and they did not even dare to breathe for a while, for fear of making some noise and attracting the big guy.
It wasn't until seven or eight minutes had passed, that they dared to gasp normally after making sure that the big guy was indeed gone. Ye Fan first turned on the flashlight to shine around, and after making sure that the big guy was gone, he signaled that he could rest assured.
Ye Xi whispered: "There really is a dragon!" ”
"Xiaomin has no intention of offending the god of water, just to find his father, please forgive the god of water." Zhou Song was already kneeling on the board of the boat and kowtowing to the water.
Ye Tong was also shocked by this situation, this trip had already frightened her again and again before she really entered the Water God Cave, and broke her previous understanding of the world.
"This should be a docile big guy, just passing by, Zhou Song go quickly, don't stay here again." Zhu Zizhang said.
Zhou Song had long been eager to go quickly, so he accelerated the speed of the boat and rowed forward. The water hole is also not very long, after driving about five hundred meters, after passing a waterway turn. They finally saw their destination, a stone platform with artificially carved fonts. Ye Xi looked happy and said, "This is it, you look at the Water God Cave." Is there really a god of water? ”
"It's just a name, if there is really a god, this world will not be ruled by humans, let's go, nine times out of ten it is the ancients who played tricks." After the hull docked, Zhu Zizhang was the first to walk to the stone platform.
Ye Tong stood on the stone platform for the second time and sighed: "It feels so good to be down-to-earth, I have never felt how happy it is to stand on the ground." ”
Ye Xi jumped up and grinned: "Second sister, you will also be afraid, I used to look at you as a strong woman, but now I look more like a woman." ”
"Xiao Nizi, your skin is itchy, right, go back and see how I clean you up." Ye Tong snorted.
After Ye Fan walked up, he looked at the entrance of the cave and frowned: "It's very dry here, in such an environment, if a dry cave appears, there should be a special environment inside." ”
"Well, it also shows that the feng shui of this place is different." Zhu Zizhang touched the stone wall next to him, there was no water vapor, this is a water hole, although this is unreasonable, but he has not seen this kind of terrain, so he is not much surprised.
After Zhou Song walked up, he tied a rope to a protruding stone, and then looked around with a curious expression, "This is the Water God Cave, which is completely different from the legend in the village." ”
"What is the legend of the Water God Cave in your village?" Ye Fan asked.
"It's a place like Ryugu, built with crystals and gemstones, and a lot of gold. How the village is legendary. Zhou Song said.
"Haha, then the water god here is really rich." Zhu Zizhang laughed.
Ye Fan smiled, after everyone brought their saluting equipment, they were the first to walk into this hole, which was a stone cave carved out by hand, but for some reason there were many small holes on the wall and top, the hole was very thin and only one-third of the thickness of the little finger, and the entire passage was full of such holes.
Ye Fan touched these holes and said, "Hurry up, this hole may not be a good thing." ”
"People with hats wear hats to prevent any poisonous insects, these holes are too much like those left by bugs." After all, Zhu Zizhang has been doing this business all his life, and he has seen a lot of traps.
Ye Fan and Zhu Zizhang put on camouflage caps, Ye Tong and Ye Xi put on sunhats, Zhou Song didn't have these, but he had a hat, and it was better to wear than these hats. Sure enough, as Zhu Zizhang expected, after they walked a distance, some red earthworms drilled out of the stone wall, Ye Xi and Ye Tong had always been afraid of insects, and their faces were not good immediately after seeing them.
"Run, there won't be a mechanism here." Ye Fan shouted, took the lead and ran ahead, and the others immediately followed.
As soon as they ran, more and more red earthworms came out, especially on the top of their heads, many earthworms fell off. Luckily, the passage was not long, and after passing through it, they came to a labyrinthine cave.
The five of them didn't care about looking at this, and immediately took off their hats and threw off the red earthworms that fell on them, and some of them fell on their shoulders and backpacks. Ye Xi and Ye Tong were afraid of insects, so after taking off their hats, they threw them away, and then took off their backpacks and jumped on the ground, trying to shake off the insects on their bodies.
At this time, Ye Fan saw a red earthworm burrowing into Ye Tong's braid, and he immediately shouted, "Tongtong, don't move." ”
"Is there a bug on me, big brother, get rid of it." Ye Tong stood in a panic, and he spoke with a crying tone.
Ye Fan threw out his hand very quickly, his index finger popped out, and he just bounced the red earthworm away, and he actually bounced the earthworm to death with just his finger strength. This is not forceful, and ordinary people will never be able to do it if they are killed by a volley.
After everyone checked each other's clothes to make sure no bugs had gotten in, they put on their backpacks and moved on. Without the bugs, the two girls calmed down, and Ye Xi asked, "Uncle Pig, what kind of bug is this, it looks like an earthworm." ”
Zhu Zizhang put on gloves, picked up a red earthworm, pinched it to death, and then looked at the passage and said: "I heard my father say that in ancient times, there was a kind of insect called fire earthworm in the Western Regions, which was very fierce, and if it was bitten into the body, it would be poisoned, and the blood of the whole body would become hot and burned alive. ”
"It should be, it's so dry outside here, it's because of the existence of fire earthworms, fire earthworms are afraid of humid environments, and the environment where fire earthworms live is very dry. This kind of stone is extremely hard, not easy to permeable, fire earthworms are highly poisonous, but there are no teeth, it is impossible to make a hole in this kind of stone, this passage should be built for artificial purposes, that is, to make a nest for fire earthworms, to prevent outsiders from coming in, if there are no guarded people to pass, it will definitely be poisoned. Ye Fan said.
"Fire earthworms have no teeth, how can they bite?" Ye Xi asked curiously, now she is very curious about these, and she has to ask everything clearly.
"The venom of the fire earthworm can quickly corrode the skin, it is extremely toxic, basically as long as it is touched on the skin, it will be poisoned, there is no time to react, it is a very dangerous poisonous insect, but these venom has no corrosive ability on our clothes, rest assured." Ye Fan said.
Ye Tong was surprised: "Big brother, how do you know so much about these?" You're just graduating from high school. ”
"Cut, you don't necessarily learn this kind of thing in books. Five years ago, Du Feng and I went to a tomb in the Western Regions and encountered fire earthworms, but the appearance of it was a little different from here, probably caused by different regions, so I didn't think of it at the first time. Ye Fan said.
"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, all right, let's go." Zhu Zizhang called.
