Chapter 82: Escape
The moment the sarcophagus was pushed open, the green smoke was filling, and Jiang Yuan dragged Bai Yun to throw him into the coffin first, and then he and I climbed into it almost at the same time.
Jiang Yuan used his usual technique to cover the coffin lid on the coffin accurately, and just a few minutes later, the coffin was spinning, and a huge stream of water swooped down around the sarcophagus, and in the process of descending, the sarcophagus hit the rock more than once, and we were shaken in the sarcophagus, and the burial goods in the coffin and the bones of the tomb owner were also scattered.
As I had originally envisioned, the place where the water rushed down was not a deep pool, but a shallow pit filled with water.
The sarcophagus fell into the water, but because of its own weight and the depth of the water, the sarcophagus sank to the bottom of the pit first, we were shocked in the coffin, and then felt floating, and finally when the situation stabilized, he and Jiang Yuan worked together to push open the coffin lid, Jiang Yuan turned out the coffin and first dragged Baiyun out of the coffin, and transported him to the edge of the pit, I myself sat in the coffin, although it was a sarcophagus, but it could float on the water.
The tomb owner's arm hung around my neck, I quickly tidied it up, knelt on the side and bowed, "I have to forgive me, I will try to help you put it correctly." ”
I crawled out of the coffin, and the water was waist-deep, which showed that the shallow pit had good drainage, which is why the water level dropped so quickly.
I walked to the edge of the pit, like a monkey climbing a tree, barely climbed up to the rocky beach, Baiyun had woken up, looked at me, looked at Jiang Yuan, and suddenly smiled, "Thank you." ”
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, just turned out his backpack, picked out some useful ones, and then threw away the other useless ones.
My shoulders were numb and I didn't feel anything, and Bai Yun said that although my wound was not bleeding anymore, it was pale in color, and I said it was because of the long time I had been soaking in the water.
Bai Yun let out a "hmm" and looked up, "This is the upstream of Qianlong Pond, I'm afraid we will have to go out for a while." ”
Jiang Yuan's hair and eyebrows have returned to black, he is already white, so the exposed skin on his body has not changed much, but the most troublesome thing is that his eyes are still red, but not that blood-red, but crimson.
The three of them sat on the big rock and basked in the sun, sorting out the remaining equipment by the way, and eating was gone, but there was a fruit tree behind it, and the green fruit looked like an unripe apple.
I picked up a few stones and handed them to Bai Yun, although Bai Yun's leg was injured and he couldn't climb the tree, his hands were still good, and the accuracy rate of throwing stones was as high as 100%.
The three of them ate some wild fruits, regained some physical strength, and wanted to look at the sun and hide in the clouds again, Jiang Yuan proposed to leave here as soon as possible, and Bai Yun also agreed, not because of fear, but because we found that in addition to these wild fruit trees, there were many tree holes of different sizes nearby.
The trees here are more than 100 years old, and the age span of these hollows is about the same.
This means that there will be a group of creatures living in this area, and Bai Yun speculates that it is likely to be a bear, although I don't agree with this statement, but Jiang Yuan said that no matter what it is, we should try to avoid them, because we don't have enough ability to defend against the enemy now.
According to the analysis of Bai Yun and Jiang Yuan, we finally decided to walk out of here along the stream from the side of Qianlong Pond.
The three injuries took care of each other, and I stopped for I don't know how many times along the way, and my shoulder began to ache faintly, probably because of the inflammation of the wound caused by sweating, and I myself began to feel a little dizzy, and the temperature of the hand was tested, and my forehead was hot.
Bai Yun's foot injury was on the ankle bone, purple and red, and it was very swollen, and he couldn't use force at all, so he could only move forward step by step.
Jiang Yuan's injured arm was already white and swollen, and the whole person looked very tired, coupled with the Gu poison attack in his blood, the injured half of his arm could clearly see the blood vessels, which was very terrifying.
When it was almost dark, we heard the rumbling sound of water, so as to judge that this should be the range of the Thousand Dragon Pond, according to the sound of the position, our location and the Thousand Dragon Pond at most 100 meters.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the valley, casting a faint golden hue over everything.
If you follow the sound of the water, you will feel the water vapor coming to your face in a short time.
"When I arrived, there was a Thousand Dragons Pond in front of me, and legend has it that there were dragons who practiced here." Jiang Yuan pointed to the steaming place in front of him as he spoke, "Look, that side is Qianlong Peak, the waterfall comes down from that side and flows through Qianlong Pond, hold on, if I guess correctly, there should be a lot of snakes around here, let's feel the waterhole as soon as possible." ”
"Got it, Baiyun, hold on a little." I helped the white clouds to continue walking,
Baiyun began to have a fever like me, but I was a little better than him, my consciousness was still awake, and he began to get drowsy, heard me speak, and nodded half-asleep.
An hour later, Jiang Yuan's guess came true, of course, at that time we had walked out of the forest just now, the terrain here was higher, and there were not so many broad-leaved plants, when we stood on a big rock and rested briefly, and then the last bit of sunset, I saw that the place where we were just now was still foggy, not only that, the hissing sound was heard very clearly, the group of snakes dispatched, I gasped, patted my chest, and said that it was really fateful, if I walked a little late, I might be surrounded by a group of snakes.
"It's dangerous to travel in the dark, so I think we'd better find a relatively safe place to rest for the night." I proposed.
The sunset had completely disappeared into the clouds, the mountains were getting darker, and we didn't have any lighting, so we had to rely on the memories we saw during the day to determine where it was safer.
Jiang Yuan's eyes will glow with a faint red light in a dimly lit environment, I asked him if this is because of Gu poison, he nodded, indicating that the existence of Gu poison will cause some incredible changes in the human body, but there are no examples to study before, and he himself doesn't know what will happen next, I touched the Green Tiger Talisman he gave me in my pocket, and suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange.
At Jiang Yuan's mention, we decided to rest here, because there is a huge rock in this place, there is no grass on the rock, some insects and centipedes will not make a nest here, and the terrain here is very high, it is convenient for us to observe the surrounding situation, eat wild fruits, there are a few left, the most important thing is that we need lighting, but the miner's lamp flashlight on the body is gone, the only thing left is a pack of matches, originally this box of matches is sealed, there will be no water at all, But just now we were shaken in the sarcophagus, maybe we hit it or squeezed it, anyway, the matchbox was broken, and the water seeped in, I took them out and touched them, and there were still a few dry ones left, and I was immediately overjoyed, Jiang Yuan found some dry branches from not far away, and a few minutes later, a bonfire appeared.
