Chapter 21: The Face That Transforms 3
Xiao Fat grabbed my hand that was reaching out to him and began to climb up the riverbank.
I was surprised for a while, "Isn't Fat Xiao more than a hundred kilograms, why does he feel like he only weighs 50 or 60 kilograms now." Maybe there were too many strange things along the way, and even the feeling was wrong, so I shook my head secretly.
At this time, Xiao Fat Man grabbed my hand and was about to climb ashore, one of his feet was already on the river, and he was about to climb up.
Suddenly, there was a gurgle, clatter, clatter, sound from the bottom of the river, which came from the big zongzi we met in the burial chamber above, and it turned out that it also fell with us, and I heard the sound of the heavy object falling into the water just now, which should have come from it when it fell.
The gurgling sound stunned the fat man who was about to climb up the river bank, when suddenly a withered hand stretched out from the bottom of the water grabbed his ankle.
In an instant, I couldn't hold my hand and let go, and Xiao Fat fell into the river.
I yelled "fat man" anxiously! I saw Xiao Fatzi fluttering a few times on the surface of the water, and quickly sank underwater.
The entire river bank returned to darkness as Xiao Fatzi sank into the water, leaving only an unclear orange light looming on the water surface, feeling that this fragile light might disappear at any time.
I got up from the riverbank, looked at the faint orange light, and jumped off the riverbank.
Just as I was about to fall into the water, a shrill voice came, "Don't go down!" Before I could hear where the sound was coming from, I fell back into the river.
I hesitated for a moment, ignoring the shrill voice, and dived towards the orange light. As soon as I dived underwater, I saw Xiao Fat Man hugging the dry corpse at the bottom of the river, Xiao Fat Man held the dry corpse with both hands and bit him in the mouth, and his face was already the color of pig liver, which was estimated to be due to severe lack of oxygen.
The mouth of the dry corpse was getting closer and closer to the neck of the fat man, and the fat man rolled his eyes, seeing that he could not hold it anymore, I picked up a round stone the size of a football from the stone slab at the bottom of the river, and ran quickly towards their position. The resistance of the water was very great, even if I quickened my pace, walking under the water was still very slow, and the mouth of the dry corpse was getting closer and closer to Xiao Fatty's neck, revealing two sharp fangs, and there were still a few centimeters to bite.
I held the cobblestone and threw it at the head of the dry corpse, and this time I used all my strength, "click", I heard the sound of bones breaking, and the head of the dry corpse without the support of the bones suddenly pulled down and hung down on the head.
Seeing that I broke the neck bone of the dried corpse, Xiao Fatzi hurriedly kicked on the chest of the dried corpse and quickly floated to the water, even ignoring the miner's lamp falling on the bluestone at the bottom of the water.
The dry corpse made Xiao Fat Man kick back 5 or 6 steps, and it didn't care about the escaped Xiao Fat Man, and quickly pounced on me.
It had just taken two steps towards me, and suddenly stood motionless, and I saw that the dried corpse was trembling slightly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa", the light of the miner's lamp made me see that a huge black shadow was swimming quickly towards me and the location of the dried corpse, wasn't this the monster that was chasing me and Xiao Fat Man on the surface of the water just now.
I saw the dried corpses shake even more, like a mouse to a cat. I didn't expect such a ferocious big zongzi to have natural enemies.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer to me and the dry corpse, and I saw clearly that this black shadow was not a monster, but composed of countless large black insects as big as fists, a bit like dragon lice.
It's just that the size of this dragon lice is inevitably too big, and in the blink of an eye, countless black shadows surrounded the dried corpses.
At this moment I threw away the cobblestone in my hand, picked up the lamp under the water, and quickly floated towards the river, and when I came out of the water, I glanced at the dry corpse.
I saw that the dry corpse stood at the bottom of the water and didn't dare to resist at all, allowing countless black shadows to gnaw and devour, during which there were continuous gurgling pains, and in the blink of an eye, it became a pile of bones.
After the big black worm ate the dried corpse, they all turned their eyes to me, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly surfaced, and swam to the shore, countless black big insects behind me were quickly chasing me, these insects moved very fast in the water, only 2,3 meters away from me in a blink of an eye, and this distance is still shrinking.
Xiao Fat Man stood on the shore, shining on the water with a flashlight in his hand, and saw me emerging from the water, waving his hand, "Little comrade, here"!
I heard the voice of the fat man, swam faster, and in a blink of an eye I reached the shore, and the fat man grabbed my hand and pulled it up.
But there were still 7 or 8 fist-sized black bugs that pounced on my back, and their sharp claws were embedded in the flesh of the black back, and I almost fell into the river again.
At this time, Xiao Fat Man actually lifted me ashore, quickly pried out several big insects on my back with a dagger, and trampled me to death on the ground.
I secretly wondered how much explosive power it would take to lift a person up. I saw the backpack on the ground, frowned, I just didn't see Xiao Fat Man holding the bag in the water?
There were a few pieces of flesh on my back that the big worm tore off, leaving a few blood-red holes that were bubbling blood, and the pain was so painful that I almost fainted, I took off my wet shirt, took out the bandage from my backpack, and asked while bandaging the wounds: "Fat man, why do you say that this dragon lice still eats living people?" ”
"This is not a dragon lice, this is a corpse cockroach" Xiao Fatzi explained, "Normally, corpse cockroaches generally don't eat living things, but the corpse roaches here are so big, how many carrion corpses do they have to eat, judging from the situation just now, this corpse cockroach should also eat live creatures." ”
When Fat Xiao saw that I was bandaged, he came over and was ready to help me.
As soon as he lowered his body and his wide clothes, he actually exposed his chest, and I saw that the tiger head tattooed on his chest was gone, leaving only a few blue marks, which were painted with paint at first glance, and he left a few scratches on his stomach when he fought with the dry corpse, but the scratches did not have a trace of blood, just a few faint white marks.
When he remembered that he knew about the mechanism leading to the underground, and that his heads were frozen at the bottom of the river, he didn't feel it at all, and there were so many details."
When the most trusted partner around you suddenly becomes an enemy, when your best friend tears off the mask and suddenly becomes your enemy, when the life and death brothers who share weal and death with you suddenly become enemies, how terrible it is, it turns out that the second uncle said, danger and difficulty are not terrible, what is terrible is the fickleness of the human heart, at this moment I understand.
I suddenly kicked at the fat man who was about to help me.
This kick came so suddenly, Xiao Fat didn't believe that I would kick him at all, so without a trace of defense, he kicked me to the ground.
Fat Xiao sat on his knees and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I snorted coldly in my heart, "You're still pretending?" ”
I don't understand what you're talking about, "Why are you kicking me, little comrade, are you crazy?" ”
I looked at him with a sneer, "Can you take your shirt off?" I'll believe you when you take it off. ”
Xiao Fat looked at me for a while, and suddenly laughed darkly, "Hehe, it seems that I really underestimated you, and you found out again." ”
I looked at him with a cold expression, "Who the hell are you?" ”
The fake Xiao Fat Man didn't answer my question and asked, "I'm really curious how you found out that I wasn't Xiao Fat, do I remember showing any horses' feet?"
