Chapter 31: The Sea Serpent Disaster
Poker Face got up from the damp and flooded ground, and saw that the main burial chamber was so huge that there was no end in sight where the searchlight shone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you think this burial chamber is a little strange?"
"What's weird?" Yu Yue wanted to take off the oxygen tube, but she couldn't speak smoothly with the oxygen tube.
Poker Face stopped, "Take the oxygen tube." After saying that, he went on to explain, "The inside of this tomb was originally sealed, and there was no water at all, but it was only after we came in that there was water. Poker's face was dripping with water up to his ankles, and his feet were cold and unconscious. He looked at Yu Yue, "That is to say, if this tomb has existed for hundreds of years, then it has been sealed for hundreds of years." ”
Yu Yue and Lao Jiang understood the meaning of poker faces, long-term confined space, living creatures simply can't survive for a long time.
"And what's going on with the human head in that vat?" Lao Jiang thought of the scene he had just seen, and unconsciously trembled again, "Who is so cruel that he actually uses these people as burial companions?" ”
Poker Face groaned and shook his head.
"Not to mention, fortunately we came down from this thief hole, if we had come down from the last time, we wouldn't have been able to find this place." Lao Jiang said and walked to the wall, leaning his back against the wall, wanting to take a break. When he first leaned against the wall, he felt cold and slippery on his back, and something slipped over his back. Lao Jiang's hair stood on end all over his body, and he forgot to scream. While the entire tomb was quiet, Lao Jiang heard his heart pounding wildly, almost jumping to his throat. He looked back in a daze, the searchlight above his head hitting the wall. The walls are ordinary bluestone walls, because they have been underwater for many years, and the walls are damp and glowing with water vapor. Lao Jiang illuminated a large area with a searchlight, but found nothing.
"What are you looking at?" Poker Face climbed on Lao Jiang's shoulder and asked, Lao Jiang was startled, almost jumped up, "Ouch, my mother, scared me to death." He stroked his chest in a frightened motion, and his entire fat body trembled slightly from the fright.
"Lao Jiang, what are you afraid of?" As soon as Yu Yue finished asking, she felt something at her ankle slip along her skin, leaving a cold touch on the bare skin of her ankle. She couldn't help but "Ah! The ground screamed.
"You feel it too?" Lao Jiang's words were crying, "I just said that this tomb is very evil, and the ear chamber is not a burial object but a person's head, or the four directions of southeast, south, north, west, and west, obviously to suppress something more terrifying." "Lao Jiang stuck his back to the wall, he is not a timid person, if he knows what he is about to face, no matter how terrifying it is, he can face it calmly. The only thing that Lao Jiang couldn't accept was the fear of the unknown. He felt his back pressed against the wall, the moss on the wall with a hairy touch that tickled against his back.
"Lao Jiang, I also said just now that it has been sealed for so many years, and there can be no living creatures." Yu Yue wanted to comfort Lao Jiang.
"It's not a living thing that's more terrifying, okay?" Lao Jiang glanced at the darkness around him with his eyes, "Where there shouldn't be living creatures, there are living creatures, this is the most terrifying." ”
Poker Face ignored Lao Jiang's fear from just now, and the only way to eliminate their fear was to find something that made Lao Jiang afraid, but he looked at it for a week and saw nothing. Just when he was helpless, his almost cold ankles, not on the skin in the water, something wrapped around his ankles little by little. There was no sign of force, only the coldness that covered his skin.
"Lao Jiang, do you want to be so exaggerated?" Yu Yue persuaded Lao Jiang to no avail, and when she couldn't cry or laugh, she saw a light flashing in front of her eyes. She instinctively looked over to the light source, only to see Poker Face staring carefully at her legs that didn't reach her ankles. There was nothing bare on his feet.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Yue was puzzled, and then asked, "You also feel it?" ”
Lao Jiang trembled even more, "What the hell is it, I can't see it at all." After saying that, the whole person shook like chaff with the fat on his body.
When Yu Yue teased Lao Jiang, the fear in her heart was less than half, but she didn't expect that her poker face was the same as her, and she was suddenly a little uncomfortable. She quickly looked around at her feet, the light shone in the water, and through the shallow water, she saw the bluestone slab at the bottom of her feet, and the water was swaying under the light, and there was still nothing in the water. Yu Yue glanced at the poker face with a little doubt and fear. Unbeknownst to her, Pokerface didn't intend to deal with her emotions at all, and reached out to her lips to make a silent gesture.
"What are you doing?" Lao Jiang's voice trembled, and the oxygen tube he was holding almost fell out of his mouth, so he hurriedly reached out to help him. Before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Yu Yuesheng.
The three of them waited at their feet for a long time. The surroundings were extremely quiet, there was no sound, Lao Jiang had been in a half-squatting and half-bending posture just now, stiff and afraid to move, ten minutes passed, he couldn't hold on any longer, "What's the matter, there's no fart." ”
Poker Face looked up in thought. Yu Yue also looked up at Lao Jiang and then at the poker face, "Could it be that we feel wrong?" ”
"Miss, it's okay if I feel wrong alone, but now the three of us feel it...... That cold, slippery thing. Lao Jiang looked around, the searchlight above his head swept back and forth in the tomb several times, and Lao Jiang said cautiously, "Will there be anything dirty in such an evil place?" ”
"Dirty?" Yu Yue didn't understand what Lao Jiang meant.
"Dirty stuff is that kind of ......"
Old Jiang was halfway through his words, only to hear Yu Yue scream softly again. Yu Yue tiptoed to Poker Face's side and grabbed Poker Face's arm at once. "Here we go again, here we go again."
The poker face naturally patted the back of Yu Yue's hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid." The poker face's voice was light and calm, like an autumn breeze with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which calmed her down when Yu Yue was flustered. Yu Yue looked at the hand she was holding the poker face, and each finger joint was bent to a completely natural arc, as if her hands were already very familiar with this arm. She reluctantly let go of her hand and smiled apologetically, feeling a little lost in her heart.
"Keep your heads up." Pokerface spoke, "Don't put the light in the water." With that, Pokerface turned off the searchlight on his head, crouched down, and submerged his hands in the water.
"You're ......"
Yu Yue "shhh
Everyone stopped talking, held their breath, and waited quietly for the poker face to do something. But poker face just squatted, let one of his hands into the water, his fingertips touched the bluestone bricks, the warm temperature of his hand in the cold water gradually dropped, he could feel the coldness of the water little by little seeping into his skin and bones, but the coldness of this water is gentle and slow, what he is waiting for is the coldness of the skin, colder than this water.
At this moment, the coolness of his wrist was slow and deep, sliding little by little down his wrist to his palm, to his fingertips, and then from the fingertips to his wrists. Pokerface closed his eyes and focused entirely on his wrist, and he clearly felt that the thing was not slippery, but with a gentle roughness, coiled in the arteries of his arm, motionless. It's like sucking the body heat of a poker face.
Poker Face slammed his grip on it, and the thing twisted and twisted wildly in his hand, and the gentle gliding turned into a crazy rhythm, coiling and struggling in the palm of his hand. Poker Face turned on the searchlight above his head, and at the same time heard the whispers from Yu Yue and Lao Jiang.
"What is this?" Yu Yue asked, only to see that the thing coiled in the poker face hand looked like a snake, but it was longer than a snake, and the body was black and white.
"This ...... It should be a sea snake. Poker Face said, without waiting for Poker Face to speak again, Lao Jiang slammed down the sea snake in Pokerface's hand, and the sea snake crackled and fell into the shallow water, spit out a scarlet tongue, and struggled to swim away.
"The average sea snake is venomous." Lao Jiang explained that some of his men had been bitten by sea snakes and then poisoned to death. Seeing Yu Yue's puzzled and disbelieving look, he hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Really, I vouch for my personality as the leader of the Fulong Gang. ”
"Fulong Gang Leader?" Yu Yue's words came to an abrupt end when she said half of her words, and at this moment, she couldn't help but think that if Ah Shen was here, she might fight with Lao Jiang again. After nearly half a year of re-getting along with Ah Shen, Yu Yue almost completely believes that the person who has accompanied her through the past six months is the real Ah Shen. She felt a moment of confusion and hesitation.
"Yu Yue, what's wrong with you?" Poker Face couldn't help but ask, he still had the fishy smell of sea snake grappling and the sticky body fluids on his hands. He put his hand in the water and washed it off.
"It's good it didn't bite you, but you said it was sealed and there was no water, so how could there be a sea snake?" Lao Jiang asked suspiciously.
"It should have rushed in with us, the sea snake is a cold-blooded animal, just now in the ear chamber, the temperature is not so low, the temperature inside is obviously much lower than outside, it should be the sea snake who feels our body temperature, so it is close to us. But they're also very sensitive to light. ”
"No wonder we didn't see them." Yu Yue concluded. Look at the black sea beneath your feet. The sea stretched out to a place she couldn't see, and she suddenly shrank and shivered, "It's okay if you don't say it, it's really cold here." ”
"Leave it alone, let's move forward." Poker Face straightened up the outfit on his back, "I think those sea snakes are venomous, but they didn't mean to attack us, otherwise I would have been bitten just now." ”
Lao Jiang nodded worriedly. Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of water coming from the water below his feet, "Did you hear anything?" ”
Poker face had bad intuition, and Yu Yue listened quietly, only to hear a slight rattling sound from the water, like something swimming quickly in the water.
"There's nothing else, is there?" Lao Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, "There is really a mixture of fish and dragons in this tomb." After saying that, he lowered his head and scanned the water with a searchlight. I saw that the water surface in the distance was flooded with water waves one after another, and the water waves rippled to both sides, and something came towards them at a very fast speed, so fast that Lao Jiang couldn't see what it was. But it was a poker face, and suddenly said seriously, "It's a sea snake!" ”
Old Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Sea snakes, it's okay, they don't bite." ”
At this time, Yu Yue also saw the rippling water waves, the water waves were very open, and his intuition was not good, "No, you see, there is more than one sea snake." ”
"They're coming at us." Poker Face was calmly a little unusual.
"And they're not afraid of the light." Yu Yue's voice trembled a little.
"That's too pompous, and the genetic mutation won't change so quickly, right?" Lao Jiang couldn't cry or laugh,
"Have you ever heard that snakes are very spiritual creatures, maybe they are coming back for revenge?" The poker face didn't look like a joke, so Lao Jiang couldn't find a reason to be lucky. I could only silently recite the sentence, "No." Then he saw the water waves that were getting closer and more rapid, swallowed his saliva, and finally became convinced that what Poker Face said was true.
"So what do we do?" The three of them were stunned and helpless at the moment, Yu Yue was scared, and asked first.
"Don't panic." After the poker face finished speaking, Yu Yue was stopped behind him, and the cat raised his waist as if he was making a starting motion, and his hands were open to meet the water.
"What is he doing?" Old Jiang asked tremblingly. The water waves were approaching, and Lao Jiang fixed his eyes to see that there were more than a dozen sea snakes as far as his eyes could see.
"Poker face, I feel that these snakes are not good, do you want to ......"
As soon as Lao Jiang's words fell, half of his poker face threw himself into the water, and his hands pinched an oncoming snake. The snake twisted in his hand and didn't move.
"There are so many snakes, you kill one, what can you do with the rest?" Seeing that those snakes were already close in front of him, Lao Jiang didn't have any more thoughts to care about the expression on his poker face.
Yu Yue saw it, and saw a smile on the corner of his poker face, which inexplicably made Yu Yue feel at ease. Poker Face didn't know when he already had a saber in his hand, he pierced the saber through the snake's body at a very fast speed, the snake's blood flowed out from the knife, and Poker Face bowed the blood in the palm of his hand and sent it to Yu Yue's eyes, "Quick, apply it to the leg." ”
Yu Yue didn't say a word, and did as he was told. Lao Jiang also hurriedly came over, wiped the blood on his legs and feet, and then asked with peace of mind, "Is this okay?" ”
I don't know when, the surface of the water has returned to calm. Poker Face threw the soft snake body in his hand far into the corner, and the snake body spun twice in the air and fell into the water with a crackle.
"How so? Aren't those serpents coming to attack us? Yu Yue asked? Through the oxygen tube, she could still smell a faint smell of blood.
"The reason why these snakes attacked us is because I frightened the sea serpent and let it go to get revenge, and I killed their leader. I just caught the snake and took his blood, and the rest of the snakes, of course, understood that we were not to be messed with, so they didn't dare to get close. ”
Old Jiang laughed, "It turns out that the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first is also applicable to these beasts in nature." ”
