Chapter Seventy-Two: Brave the Crocodile Pool
Behind us, we were followed by a swarm of bees the size of half an arm, densely and orderly in a swarm, buzzing together, chasing in the direction of our escape.
From the beginning of the encounter with the bees, we ran all the way in potholes, and had completely departed from the direction we came, and stumbled out of the dead road, and walked into the water and grass, the vines in front of us blocked the view, so that we couldn't help but pay attention to the branches and leaves that grew horizontally, so as not to be bumped, and at the same time to avoid the attacks of those giant bees.
Thankfully, the vines blocked our path and the giant swarm, allowing us to escape for a while without being stabbed by the giant bee's poisonous needle.
After crossing the water and grass, we came to a clearing, and in front of the clearing was a dark river, thinking of nothing, we immediately rushed to the dark river and jumped into the dark river, diving into the heart of the dark river.
Breath-holding potential in the dark river, the dark river water is surging around, Shiling people pulled me to hold my breath and swam to the other side of the dark river, I couldn't breathe and floated to the surface of the water to take another breath, and then immediately buried in the dark river water and swam over, the bee colony still did not give up on the surface of the dark river, waiting for our appearance, but the bees who are afraid of water by nature did not dare to approach the water surface easily, so it gave us a chance, so that we could have enough time to swim to the other side of the dark river.
When we reached out to the shore, we exchanged glances underwater, and then, I pushed up and pulled the Shiling man out of the water. That's right, this guy doesn't know how to swim!
It's a gamble, a bet that this cave can lead to another place, enough to avoid these giant bees.
The worst possible outcome is that it is just a closed cave, and once you go in, you will never be able to turn back.
Or a 1 in 2 chance, to lose, or to win? To live, or to die?
Rushing into the cave in one breath, there was endless darkness in front of us, but the oncoming breeze told us an exciting good news, that is, there is a road ahead, our choice is correct again, and the goddess of victory has once again favored us.
The cave is not wide, just enough to walk side by side.
The humming sound echoed behind me, following me like a curse. Apparently when we entered the cave, the swarm of bees behind us followed us and rushed into the cave at the same time.
"Leave it alone, run."
I pulled Shi Ling and said.
Well, the giant bee hasn't left here. There is a good chance that there will be things that restrain them ahead, so as long as we move forward, there is a good chance that we can get rid of them. Nodding, Shi Lingren said analytically. Right. "I agree with Shi Lingren's statement, and I think so at the same time.
One thing descends one thing, this is the law of the whole natural world and even the whole world, we have not encountered these bee colonies along the way, which means that these giant bees cannot leave this wetland, so it is very likely that as the Shiling people said, there will be a kind of giant bee nemesis at the exit of the wetland, specifically to restrain these giant bees from another existence.
Regardless of whether the thing that can restrain the giant bee will be another more terrifying existence, at least for us now, it is also a kind of hope, a hope that can get rid of the giant bee.
The footsteps kept running forward, and the giant bees behind them tried to catch up with each other, and they sceivingly lined up and chased after us together.
Buzzing...... Buzzing...... Buzzing...... The sound kept echoing behind us, and we couldn't help but look at each other and smile when we saw a faint light appear in front of us.
There it is.
Rush forward!
The hope ahead gave us strength and courage, and we rushed together at the glimmer of light in front of us, until the point of light in front of us grew bigger and bigger, and finally, after running for an unknown amount of time, we threw ourselves into the light.
However, to our disappointment, it turned out that the bright place was not an exit, we just walked from one cave to another.
The light of the cave is only because the cave is covered with reflective jade pieces, and this cave is a little larger than the cave just now, the top of the cave is an arch, and the perimeter of the cave forms a closed space.
"It seems that our hope is a little farther away from us again." Turning back with a wry smile, Shi Ling and I said with a smile. "That's right." With the same wry smile, I found that every word I said to him would echo in the cave, constantly echoing around me. "It's strange to think that this small cave can have such a big repercussion." Shi Ling also looked around curiously and continued.
"The forces of nature are indeed the greatest, but now should not be the time for us to sigh."
As I spoke, I saw that the swarm had chased after me again, and it was buzzing.
"Don't look back at the explosion!" Shi Ling shouted and shook his hand.
That's the last ammonium wax, enough to cause a collapse in a small space!
However.
"What is it?" I couldn't believe my eyes, and a cloud of black mist kept coming in, keeping the explosion out β no, it was. "It's a bee!" Hundreds of millions of bees pounced on it for death, one turned to ashes, and immediately another made up for it, and the death was incomplete. The huge explosion of energy was sacrificed by the bees with numbers. The flames were almost completely covered by bees, and the blasting boulder was pierced and torn apart.
"Impossible!"
Buzzing! The sound of the giant bee's wings flapping through the unique echo in the cave kept echoing around, and even became louder and louder after the echo, and the rumbling sound like thunder kept ringing around, directly stimulating our eardrums and making our ears hurt.
"Well, it hurts." Covering his ears tightly, but the sound still rushed into his brain and eardrums as if he had found a crack, and kept roaring. Earlier, Shi Ling picked up a pistol from the corpse of the black suit for me to defend myself, but it seemed that it was a drop in the bucket and useless. "If this continues, we won't be able to get out of this cave at all." Covering my ears, I shouted in the direction of the Shi Ling people, but the sound still couldn't reach the Shi Ling people, we could only look at each other, and we didn't know what to do.
But at this time, when I had no way to do it, the voice gradually became quieter, we looked up puzzled, only to see the bee colony was flying away from the cave in batches in an orderly manner, and after a while, it had been clean, and then looked at the ground, and found that a large number of giant bees fell to the ground and kept twitching their bodies, as if they were in pain.
"Why is this happening?"
I asked, looking at the corpses of the swarm lying on the ground. "It may be that the reverberation caused by the flapping of wings in the cave has an impact on our sense of hearing, and at the same time, it also has an impact on the bees' auditory organs and even nerve organs, compared to their organ connections, our audio-visual and nervous organs will appear more solid and less responsive, so we just think that they have received a lot of auditory stimulation, and they have directly damaged their nervous system, so that they are directly paralyzed, I think, now the only explanation is this."
Looking carefully at the appearance of the giant bee falling, and thinking about everything that happened just now, Shi Ling gave me a general idea of my problem. β
Gao Qiuwu: "I think this explains why the bee colony can't get out of here at all, because they can't pass through this cave at all, and the existence of this cave means that they can't get out of here at all, and they will be trapped here forever." β
At this time, we were walking in waist-deep water, and with a smile, I struggled to get up from the water, and then took Shi Lingren's hand, pointed to a small gap not far away, and said, "Maybe, and that's what, I think, the most important thing now is that we have found a way out."
I didn't tell them, the road I led just now was not a random guess, but the optimal escape path, not long after being chased by the giant bee, it gradually became clear in front of my eyes, like an extremely thick fog began to disperse, and it also seemed that the original focus was not accurate, and now it is slowly corrected, and it is relatively clear...... Clearer ...... 's image appears.
When the images first appeared, I still had no idea what they were, but when the clarity of the images made it clear enough for me to identify what it was, I realized that everything looked very strange β I didn't know how to describe it properly, except that everything looked like I was looking at a photographic negative.
Yet I know that this metaphor is not very exact, but it is the closest I can find.
The visual image at that time was so peculiar that I imagined that what I saw at that time was the image produced by my extrasensory visual nervous system, which received the signal emitted and reflected back by the brain waves. It is completely different from the process of receiving it through the eyes and then transmitting it to the nervous system, and of course, the image that is 'seen' is completely different.
The image I received through the brainwave reflection can only be assumed to be similar to the image that appears on the screen of the radar device. Because this is not the way humans see images, it is difficult to imagine and difficult to describe. However, to 'see' anything with 'want' is always just 'to think' and not to really see.
Even if it feels the same as seeing, it is not always seeing, that is, there is still a long distance between everything that is thought of and what really exists.
And everything that is 'seen' by 'thinking' is still closer to illusion and far away from reality. It was a "she", she was completely different from everything in the illusion, completely different, "she" could see me, it was like talking right in front of me, and for a moment my thoughts were very disturbed because I couldn't imagine what kind of existence it was.
"Yes, the most important thing now is that we have found a way out." I collect my feelings.

Holding my hand tightly, Shi Lingren smiled and nodded. Then his face changed, and he suddenly shouted again: "Shuiyue be careful of crocodiles, you are ahead!" You are on the left! And to your right is a school of crocodiles! β
His voice finally took on the meaning of urgency, and Gao Qiuwu next to me turned pale with fright, and directly covered his face: "God! Crocodiles, we're done! β
When I saw what looked like dead wood, I was also shocked: at this time, there was a school of crocodiles? Can the mission still be accomplished?
With a horizontal heart, I gritted my teeth, I took out the pistol that Shi Ling picked up from the black suit and gave me before, and wanted to shoot, but I still hesitated and didn't dare, I shook my head and handed it to Gao Qiuwu: "Will it?" β
Gao Qiuwu didn't speak, took it and began to aim.
"Whoa!" A crocodile suddenly bit towards Shi Lingren, and Shi Ling flew up in the water and kicked the crocodile ten meters away. Another crocodile pounced, and I watched my heart tighten, but then a gunshot rang out, and the crocodile was shot through the head and fell to the surface of the water with blood.
I turned my head and saw that it was Gao Qiuwu's gun.
My heart moved: "Shiling man, give me the extra pistol." β
Shi Lingren hesitated a little and looked at Gao Qiuwu, Gao Qiuwu raised the pistol I gave in his hand: "It's better to give me the gun." "Shi Ling gave me the gun directly.
I took the pistol, but what I had in mind was the secret that the military training instructor at the university once said:
"The left eye is closed, and the right eye is aimed."
"Control your breathing, don't shake your hands"
"Fill the shoulders, but also consider the possible repulsion, and hold it tightly."
"Three points and one line, crosshairs, gaps, and goals, goals"
A crocodile suddenly burst out of the water, and the white belly fell completely into my eyes, and in an instant, I pulled the trigger. "Boom!"
It wasn't until the sight of the crocodile turning its belly reached my mind that I reacted, and when I looked at the crocodile floating on the river with its white belly, my heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable excitement.
I felt like I had been punched the shoulder, but it was acceptable, and I stepped back and posed again, aiming at the crocodile in the river.
"Shuiyue, good job." Gao Qiuwu said busily.
I smiled, still staring at the crocodile in the river, another crocodile pounced on the stone man, I was not in a hurry this time, I even felt that I had remembered the feeling of shooting, with this kind of inspiration, I hooked the trigger in my hand again.
"Boom!" The crocodile rolled and floated above the murky waters.
Killing another crocodile, I was unmoved, and winked at Shi Lingren: "How is it?" My gun feels good, right? β
I have a feeling that maybe when I move, I won't be able to keep this inspiration-like thing.
Gao Qiuwu looked at me in surprise, and Shi Lingren also looked at me in surprise, I didn't care, just pulled the bolt and continued to shoot.
The performance of the stone man in the river was also amazing, he swam unhurriedly in the direction of the cave, and as long as any crocodiles attacked him, he would definitely knock those crocodiles away with their fists and feet. When is this guy so good at fighting? Like Gao Qiuwu's marksmanship, I was impressed.
Gao Qiuwu tacitly took care of the crocodiles on both sides of his body for me, as for the crocodiles in front and behind, it was up to Shi Ling to solve it himself.
Shi Lingren really doesn't act like a human, and it is impossible for a crocodile to get close to him, even if it is a crocodile in the water, it can be directly picked up with its feet, as if it is playing on flat ground.
After I fired three more shots, I finally started to miss, and my shoulder became a dull ache, and I fired two more shots, only one hit, and gritted my teeth, so I had to hand the gun to Shi Lingren. I know that my good fortune has come to an end, and it is a surprise that I have been able to do so from just now to now.
Looking at the river again, there are already a lot of crocodile corpses floating in the river, and the Shiling people are only more than two people away from the edge of the cave, so there should be no problem.
All of us breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Ling swam to the edge of the cave, handed Gao Qiuwu up, and then climbed up himself. As soon as I got into the cave, I lay on the edge of the cave wall, and it seemed that it took a lot of physical strength to punch and kick in the water like this. I also gasped for breath, Shi Ling and Gao Qiuwu came over to help me up, and then the latter smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Good job!" Water Moon. β
And the Shiling people...... Shi Lingren looked at me blankly, and rushed over and hugged me: "Thank you!" Thank you so much! You saved my life! β
I raised my eyebrows, but I didn't expect things to develop like this, and then looking at the expression on Gao Qiuwu's face, it was obvious that he was already a little jealous.
The crocodile corpse in the river sank suddenly, and I vaguely saw the pattern that looked like a python in the muddy river water, and I shuddered, although I knew that the well-fed python should not come out to kill at this time, if these things came out before, would our adventure continue to go deeper?
Shi Ling people also saw it and comforted me: "It doesn't matter if you don't find the legendary Yue family secret, because as long as there is hope, you will definitely succeed, and, most importantly, in this adventure, you and I are standing here intact and safe." I told myself the same in my heart, when I thought of the dangers along the way, in this moment of relaxation, we all sighed, and then sighed silently, fortunately, this person next to me is still there!
"Let's go out, Old Man Long should be worried about us too." As I spoke, I took Shi Lingren's hand and walked forward.
"Hmm." Following my footsteps closely, Shi Lingren followed step by step.
Walk side by side.
