Chapter 25: Man-eating Algae

Until the last shadow in the air disappeared into the darkness in the distance, I breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed my sore shoulders, tossed the flamethrower aside, and sat down on top of the hanging basket. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at the darkness in the void, maybe there were a pair of small blood-red eyes staring greedily at us, I seemed to remember something wrong, but for a moment I couldn't grasp that clue, so I had to stare blankly ahead.

Suddenly, the air in the darkness in front of me seemed to distort, revealing a miserable white face, a pair of black eyes staring at me blankly, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see his face clearly.

Immediately after, a miserable white hand poked out from under the grimace, and judging from the distance between the two, that hand and the owner of the face must be the same person.

I hurriedly turned on the miner's lamp above my head, and the dazzling white light directly penetrated the ghost in front of me and shone into the darkness in the distance.

I was so frightened that I quickly stepped back, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch the skylight of the hanging basket, and the skylight disappeared strangely as if it had never been, and I subconsciously twisted my cheek, and the real pain came from my face.

Isn't this a dream? Then a strange scene happened, the same face that had once appeared behind me, and reappeared outside the range of the miner's lamp, this time no longer staring at me, but pointing at a dark figure on the surface of the sea in the distance with the one that stretched out from the dark void.

What is that? What message does he want to send to me? Could it be the grave of this unjust soul? I looked intently, and through the fog-thick darkness, I vaguely saw that it was not a deserted tomb, but an island, a small island in the dark!

What is that place? Is it really as the fat man said, that is the city of death? At this time, a voice suddenly came, startling me, and when I listened carefully, the voice turned out to be from behind me, it was the voice of the dragon's eye.

"The gas tank is running out!" The dragon's eye poked its head out of the skylight at some point, and the strange skylight reappeared, and the face disappeared into the darkness again.

When I went down to the cabin, I found that everyone was frowning, but Yao Xiwen and the two men in black looked much better, and they were no longer as frightened as before.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Mr. Qian rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "This! There was something wrong with the pressure gauge that made me mistakenly think that the gas tanks were full, and it turned out to be ......"

I sighed and asked, "How much longer can we hold out?" ”

"Half an hour at most!" Mr. Qian said lightly.

The fat man finally couldn't help but get angry and said, "Your grandson is also lacking in virtue, right?" You deliberately want us to die with you, don't you? So high! Don't you have to break into a pulp? The fortune teller said that my old Zhang can live to ninety, which is fucking good, and he died young before he reached thirty, and he couldn't even leave a fucking corpse. ”

Mr. Qian didn't seem to be angry, and explained: "For the time being, we can't die, the hot air balloon will play the role of a parachute if it has no power, and we will fall into the water at a speed of five meters per second, and we won't be able to die!" ”

When the fat man heard that he would not die very miserably, his face softened a lot, and he snorted coldly and said: "If you are found to be bluffing Lao Tzu, when you get to the king of Hades, Lao Tzu will even cripple you with your ancestors!" ”

Mr. Qian looked at me embarrassedly, he didn't seem to be able to raise a trace of anger against the fat man, then Longyan suddenly said: "Everyone else knows this except him, but now what I am most worried about is that we don't have enough supplies after falling on the sea, I knew that the speed of the hot air balloon on the sea surface is far less than the air, and the direction is uncontrollable, if we can't float out of this underground sea, wouldn't we be trapped in this cabin?" ”

I suddenly remembered the strange scene on the roof of the cabin, and said, "Just now I saw a small island in the distance above me, about two o'clock in our direction. ”

Longyan asked, "How did you find out?" ”

Telling her that a ghost had pointed it out to me would only add to her fear, and I would have to say that I had stumbled upon it while searching for the Corpse Eater.

At this time, Mr. Qian also withdrew his gaze from the observation window, he nodded and said, "If there is really a small island, we will not be too far away from there after falling into the water, and we can row over." ”

"How do you paddle through?" The fat man asked.

Longyan looked at him like an idiot and said, "Of course, with your hands!" ”

Sure enough, as Mr. Qian expected, the hot air balloon began to fall slowly half an hour later, and in the process of falling, it slid in the direction of the island for a distance, and then the others also saw the small island that suddenly appeared, it was a black stone island, in the near distance, this black stone island is actually quite large, I don't know how big the part that sank under the water is.

After everyone worked together to carefully put away the hot air balloon, they fell into an awkward situation, the cabin was closed all around, and there were no long enough oars in it to reach the water from the top of the cabin, and how to row became the next problem.

"What's going on? I can't even reach the water! Paddle a ball? The fat man began to complain again.

I suddenly had an idea that since we couldn't reach the water, we could think of reaching the water, and the way to reach the water was to open a few holes on both sides of the cabin.

So I climbed to the top of the cabin again, and after visually measuring the water line, I went directly into the cabin, and turned on the searchlight on my head against a bulkhead, and suddenly a scorching smell spread, and a transparent hole immediately appeared, I turned off the miner's lamp, and came to the next place, and in a short time, two rows of large holes appeared on both sides of the bulkhead.

Mr. Qian and the others looked at the miner's lamp above my head in shock, and their expressions were like watching a beggar holding a gold brick, which shows how rudimentary our equipment was on the surface at that time, so that the appearance of such high-tech things would make them stunned.

A man in black sat down first, and before I could react, he put one hand directly out of the hole, and the fat man also sat down on the other side, and he was about to reach out, but I grabbed him.

"Don't move! Something is wrong with this water! I glared at him, and the others froze at what I said.

I saw that the man in black who sat down first looked at us with a frightened face, and did not show any painful expression.

Am I being too cautious? While I was puzzled, the man in black stood up and slowly withdrew his outstretched arm, but his expression was nothing but panic.

The moment he pulled his arm back, the whole cabin was stunned, and I only felt that my back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The man in black was no longer pulling back an arm, but a half-amputated arm that had disappeared from the elbow, leaving not even a bone behind.

This reminds me of the man in black who fell into the snow cave when he first entered the mountain gate, and was instantly swallowed by the snow cave with one leg, even a large piece of his waist was swallowed, and even his intestines flowed to the ground.

"What's going on? The Corpse Eater is back! Yao Xiwen's voice trembled a little.

I thought for a moment and said, "It's not a corpse eater, it's plankton in the water." ”

"You mean, those glowing seaweeds?" Longan asked.

I nodded, and said, "Yes, it's those little things, they look like algae on the surface, but they are creatures that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and they reproduce by constantly devouring their own kind, and I think they are also multiplying when they glow, and at the same time they are devouring each other." ”

The fat man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Fortunately, my old Zhang's arm has been saved, and this thing is also damn cruel, right!" Dude, don't you hurt? Half of his arm is gone, and he doesn't frown his eyebrows, enough for you! ”

The fat man just said it casually, but he said it unintentionally, the listener was intentional, I turned my head to look at Longyan, and found that Longyan was also looking at me at this time, her eyes were full of doubts, and she was having the same doubts as me.

Ordinary people grinning in pain if someone cuts their arms with a knife, although it is said that the ancient Gong scraped the bones to heal the wounds, but the man in black in front of him is not as simple as scraping the bones, the whole arm is missing half of it, and it can be so indifferent, this person obviously has a ghost, or has been possessed by a demon.

I couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought of this, and the man in black was still looking at us with a blank face, as if it was us who had swallowed half of his arm by seaweed.

"...... this?" I looked at Mr. Qian, and was about to ask, but when I turned my head, I saw something familiar flashing outside the window.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition hit his heart, and a picture flashed through his mind, and a scorching flame instantly enveloped the entire hanging basket, and then everything in front of him instantly turned to ashes.
