Chapter 18 Desperate Survival
"Hey! Stinky boy, wake up, it's time to eat......"
Wang Yuan touched the top of his head and found that he had a stone pressed on his forehead, and when he got up, he found Liu Shiye sitting on the side, making a fire and grilling fish.
"Uncle Liu, where is this?" Wang Yuan asked.
"Japan......" Liu replied.
"How can you be in Japan? I just felt like I had fallen into a big hole......"
"yes, and then I fell to Japan...... You see, Xu Fu's ship is still here. Liu Xingye pointed to the side, Wang Yuan found that he was on the shore, there were many big boats in the water, he looked up and found that he seemed to be still underground.
"Here, I'll go to the next noodles, you eat first." Liu Xingye handed the fish to Wang Yuan.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten fish...... Wang Yuan thought to himself, but he suddenly found that his hands were dripping, and then his whole body became wet, and then the head of the freshly grilled fish in his hand turned into the appearance of a scar-faced man......
"Ah!!h Wang Yuan sat up abruptly, and found that he had nothing in his hand, and there were constant echoes all around. "It turned out to be a dream......"
Suddenly, he saw that there was a real person beside him who was making a fire, and it was a woman, who seemed to look at him in surprise, as if she might have been startled by the cry of her awakening from her dream. In the light of the fire, he saw that it was a very beautiful woman, in her twenties, dressed in black clothes and showing a fair face, and her long shawl hair seemed to be wet.
"Is it a dream again...... Wang Yuan scratched his head, and found that his hair was also wet, not only his hair, but he was already soaked, and his head was a little dizzy.
"Haven't you woken up yet?" The woman said coldly.
"Are there any fish?" Wang Yuan touched his slightly hungry stomach and said.
The woman listened to Wang Yuan's words and looked at him in some surprise, as if she didn't know what to say. Wang Yuan sat for a while before he came to his senses, looked around, and found that he was in a darkness, except for a place illuminated by the pile of firewood, the rest of the surroundings were all dark, not even the blue light that had accompanied them since they entered the ground.
"I remember I fell off the edge of the stairs." Wang Yuan touched his head and said.
"Who are you?" The woman said.
"I won't be able to explain it for a while, but I'm not a bad person." Wang Yuan said to her, looking at her dress in black, eighty percent of them are scar-faced men.
"You fell into the water, I rescued you." The woman still said coldly.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Wang Yuan asked.
But the woman didn't answer, she got up and began to pack up her things. Wang Yuan saw her pack some bags of food-like things into her backpack, and then took out a flashlight, as if to leave here. Wang Yuan could only follow her closely, and in this pitch-black environment, it seemed that he was even more frightened when he first came in.
"Hey, thank you for saving me, my name is Wang Yuan, what do you call me?" Wang Yuan said forward.
The woman looked at Wang Yuan for a moment and said, "There's no need to call it. ”
"You're in the same league as the guy with the scar on his face?" Wang Yuan asked.
"How many people have come to this place?" The woman seemed a little surprised by Wang Yuan's words.
"Me and a few of my friends, and a bunch of people who don't look like good people." Wang Yuan said. "Can you take me out? My buddies are still up there, and I'm going to have to find someone to save them. ”
"You're looking for the wrong person, I can't help you."
"Now where is this going?" Wang Yuan asked, but she didn't answer. "Please, help me, we got here by accident, and now the exit is blocked, and I have to save them out." Wang Yuan said in an almost pleading tone.
"Where did you come from?" The woman asked.
"From the bottom of a lake in the mountains, when we went, the water was gone, there was only one entrance, but when we came in, the entrance was blocked." Wang Yuan said.
"There's no way you're going to get out of here." The woman said.
"Do you know how to find a dungeon, just go there and find the exit." Wang Yuan said.
"You know a lot, do you know what that place is?"
"I beg you, please, you tell me how to get there, and then I won't pester you." Wang Yuan said.
The woman didn't speak again, and Wang Yuan could only follow closely behind her. In this pitch black environment, Wang Yuan could no longer make out the direction, and his surroundings were full of huge stones and rubble, making it difficult to walk. From time to time, there was a "plopping" sound around, and it seemed that there was a lake or a river not far away. The two men walked forward in the light of the flashlights, and slowly, they began to climb up the rocks. That woman didn't seem to be as cold as she appeared, and every time she climbed a little, she would use a flashlight to show Wang Yuan behind her. Soon Wang Yuan saw their target, and there was a square hole not far from them, faintly glowing with blue light. Only then did Wang Yuan realize that this place seemed to have collapsed a long time ago, and the space after the collapse blocked many of the passages that had been originally built.
After the two of them entered the passage, Wang Yuan found that it was not the same passage he had walked before, this passage was obviously more spacious, and the walls on both sides were carved with dense luminous symbols.
The woman opened her backpack, took out two bags of biscuits and gave them to Wang Yuan, and said, "Take it, you go through this passage to find the exit, there should be no need for a flashlight here." Remember, if you encounter a snake in front of you, run as fast as you can, and these symbols on the wall, don't stare at them for a long time, you'll go crazy. ”
"What about you, where are you going?" Wang Yuan asked.
"I have other things."
"Thank you for saving me, I can't waste any more time, and if we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I thank you again." After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he walked briskly to the depths of the passage, and after walking for a while, he looked back and saw that the woman was no longer at the entrance of the passage.
"These symbols on the wall, you don't stare at them for a long time, you're going crazy." Wang Yuan recalled this sentence in his mind, "It seems that the dog leftover that Liu Shiye told him is so crazy, will there be a snake in front of him?" ”
The passage is still sloping downward, but it is not a stone staircase, it is an inclined plane, and the width of the two sides is getting wider and wider. At first, Wang Yuan could still walk forward firmly, but after walking alone for a while, he began to break out in a cold sweat, the dense symbols on the wall made him a little upset, he tried not to look, before this he never thought that he would be in such a terrifying place, when he was with that woman just now, he didn't feel too much fear, but suddenly now he was left here alone, he didn't seem to be able to control his fear, he seemed to have never experienced this almost suffocating horror feeling from childhood to adulthood, Originally, he thought that the boring and lonely life in Yansheng Village was enough to make him crazy, but today, since entering this ghost place, his heart rate does not seem to have dropped to two hundred, if he can go out safely and soundly, he definitely wants to live in Yansheng Village for the rest of his life and no longer enter the mountain. As the process deepened, Wang Yuan noticed that rows of black holes appeared at the bottom of the walls on both sides and at the top, Wang Yuan looked at these holes and thought of snakes coming out of the holes, and he didn't feel goosebumps coming out of his body, so he began to run forward.
"Calm down, calm ......down," Wang Yuan reminded himself over and over again, and suddenly he noticed that there were sporadic "rustling" sounds around him, and then more and more sounds, the kind of sound that made the scalp tingle.
"It's a snake! And more than one!! He stopped where he was, looking around, unsure where the snake would suddenly emerge from. Remember, if you encounter a snake in front of you, you run as fast as you can. Only then did Wang Yuan remember what the woman had said to him, so he ran forward again desperately. I thought that with his speed of 100 meters and 12 seconds at school, no snake should catch up with him, and he was still five or six meters away from the walls on both sides, so he should be able to pass through this passage without any problems, but I don't know if this passage will lead to the snake's nest.
After sprinting for a long distance, there were still maddening sounds around him, Wang Yuan suddenly saw that the light in front of him was floating on the ground, but he didn't dare to stop at this time, and when he reacted, it was too late, there was water in front of him. He tried to stop himself, but the sloping surface, combined with his flying speed, caused him to plunge headlong into the water.
"Ahhh!!h Wang Yuan struggled desperately to get out of the water, and when he turned around, he saw that there were already several shadows swimming towards the waterhole on the way he came. "Damn! Help me!!! He shouted desperately, how he wished the woman hadn't left the passage, or that she would hear her cries for help and save him. At this time, the waterhole in the depths of him, he couldn't reach the bottom and couldn't see the other side, he could only swim forward desperately, and there were already faint snakes in the water.
"It's over...... It's over......" Wang Yuan thought to himself. Suddenly he felt a chill on his neck, and a snake hung around his neck, and he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and threw the snake aside with his hand. Suddenly, snakes began to fall into the water from above, and he looked up and saw that there were snake holes on it, and snakes began to fall from it one after another. "Swim forward, you can't stop......" He began to swim forward again, and he found that the further he swam, the darker it became. Suddenly, one of his legs seemed to be entangled in a snake, and he couldn't move, and he began to slap the water hard to keep himself from entering the water, but after a few moments he sank into the water and began to sink. He felt the snake wrapping around his arms and neck, and the pain of a snake bite began to come from his body, and he began to give up the struggle...... Consciousness has also become blurred...... At this time, the figures of two people gradually appeared in his mind, a man and a woman, sitting on the big stone under the tree, showing happy smiles, their eyes were looking at themselves......
"No, I can't die here yet, my life can't end like this!" Wang Yuan woke up instantly, at this time his head seemed to have touched the bottom of the water, the pressure of the water made his eardrums almost unbearable, he couldn't feel whether there was a snake on his body, he tried to control his body, trying to swim back to the water, he kicked the bottom of the water with all his legs, suddenly he felt that his feet were sinking down, and he vaguely saw several huge bubbles emerging from the ground, there was a muffled sound, and the water suddenly became turbid, Then a powerful suction force led him into a cavernous space. He didn't know what was going on, he pinched his nose desperately, and then he felt his body light, it felt like he had fallen into the hole, and before he could react, the whole person fell heavily on some stones, some of which hit him directly in the chest, he felt a suffocating pain, and then he was washed aside by the water that rushed down from above. He lay on the ground and breathed desperately, not caring about the environment around him, it might have been a miracle to survive, and the pain in his body was completely unfelt, every breath he took was like a gift from God, as if he had been reborn after the catastrophe of hell.
Lying on the ground for a while, Wang Yuan suddenly remembered something, the whole person stood up tremblingly, looked around, and he was still staying in an inclined passage, which was tilting in the opposite direction to the one he walked directly above. A hole broke in the top of the passage, and muddy water poured into it, and several snakes that had just fallen beside him were being washed into the passage. Wang Yuan touched his trouser pocket and took out the photo, but the photo was completely blistered, he sighed and put it back in his pocket, if it weren't for this photo, he might have drowned on it. At this time, the opening that had been washed out above was cracked even bigger, and it seemed that there was a danger of collapsing at any time, and he could only walk in the direction of the current, at least going down was his only hope of getting out.
He walked down the passage with the water, and snakes were constantly washed down from his feet. Wang Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been bitten when he was in the water, and he took off his tattered shirt and found that there were several similar tooth marks on his body. "Damn! Don't be toxic......" he thought to himself. "If you finally survive, but you are poisoned again, it is better to drown on it."
What Wang Yuan didn't expect was that after he walked a distance, the road in front of him was blocked by some stones, and he thought of the part of the road he walked with the woman, and he thought that it was because of the collapse, blocking the passage above, and this passage was just below, which also verified his conjecture, it is very likely that when the other side collapsed, this place was blocked. Wang Yuan looked at the huge stones, and although the water could seep through, it left the snake and him here. He climbed onto a relatively high rock and sat down, and he didn't have much strength to go back. He looked at the snakes on the ground, some of the diamonds had escaped, and more were tangled and rolled and bitten like headless flies in the water.
"Let you chase me and bite me, it's good now, you all have to die here!" Wang Yuan said. "Death will be eaten, and you will die again!" He looked at the snakes and didn't seem to be as scared as before.
Wang Yuan looked around and found that the light of this passage seemed to be extraordinarily bright, plus the symbols on the wall, he was a little dazzled, he didn't dare to look at it all the time, he was tired and gradually leaned on the stone and fell asleep......
I don't know how long I slept, Wang Yuan faintly heard something and woke up.
"There's water here, I don't know if I can drink it......" "If I don't drink it, I'll die of thirst, I'll drink some first."
At first, the king thought he was dreaming, but when he looked down, the water on the ground was gone, and it seemed that the pool above it had drained, and there were few snakes left on the ground. At this time, there was a voice from behind the stone he was leaning on, and it seemed that it was Xiaoying and Qi Zhuang.
"Little !!" Wang Yuan was so excited that he almost fell off the stone.
"I seem to hear Wang Yuan's voice." A small sound came from the other side of the stone, and sure enough, it was them, Wang Yuan jumped off the stone, and the moment he landed, he felt that the bones in his body were about to crack.
"Xiaoying! Qi Zhuang! Zhao Bin!! I'm Wang Yuan, help!! Wang Yuan shouted with all his strength.
"I'll go, it's really him! Wang Yuan, where are you? Qi Zhuang's voice came from the other side.
"Wang Yuan, it's great that you're okay!" Then came Xiaoying's voice.
"I'm blocked in the passage by stones, Qi Dazhuang, save me!!" Wang Yuan shouted.
"The voice seems to be coming from over there."
"God, you haven't abandoned me yet!" Wang Yuan said excitedly.
"Wang Yuan, how are we going to get you out?" Qi Zhuang on the other side said.
"What's going on over there?" Wang Yuan asked, listening to Qi Zhuang's voice, he seemed to be not too far away from him.
"We don't know what it is, it's all glowing bones, bright and glaring." Qi Zhuang said.
"Wang Yuan, can you see the blue light through the cracks in the stones over there? If you can get through, it means that it is possible to get through here. Zhao Bin said.
"It's quite bright on my side, I'll take a look......" Wang Yuan took a few steps back and looked, and sure enough, there were several stones above the passage that didn't seem to be tightly combined, and there was blue light shining in the cracks in the stones. Wang Yuan climbed up and shook one of the stones, and sure enough, it was loose, and when he broke it hard, the stone fell off to the ground, and then a dazzling light shone in, and Wang Yuan could hardly open his eyes.
"Wang Yuan, we're here, I see you!" Xiaoying shouted.
"Haha...... You're a big boy!! Qi Zhuang ran to the entrance of the cave and prepared to pull Wang Yuan.
"Aha, sure enough, it's a few of you, I almost didn't see you." Wang Yuan was so excited that he burst into tears.
"We thought we'd never see you again......" Xiaoying looked at Wang Yuan and cried.
Wang Yuan didn't care whether the surrounding stones were stable or not, and began to drill there, and finally his upper body passed, and his waist was indeed stuck.
"It's over, it's stuck!" Wang Yuan said.
"I'll drag you." Qi Zhuang pulled Wang Yuan's arm at the other end, and Xiaoying and Zhao Bin also ran over and pulled Wang Yuan together.
"Oh, tap, tap, it's going to be rubbed off......" Wang Yuan wailed. Yes!!! Pull it, like a snake has bitten my ass......"
"What?! And the snake, then I pulled it hard. Several people worked hard, coupled with Wang Yuan's constant struggle, and finally got him out.
Wang Yuan was lying on the stone pile, looking at the three people in front of him, tears kept pouring out of his eyes, and Xiaoying looked at Wang Yuan, who was covered in scars, and was already crying.
"Xiaoying, do you have anything to eat? Give Wang Yuan something to eat. Qi Zhuang said.
"It's gone, and when he fell, I left my food next to the cave, and I was worried that if he came out of there, he would be able to eat some." Xiaoying said while crying.
"You don't need to eat, it's better to see you than anything." Wang Yuan said. "How long has it been since I fell?"
"It's been six hours." Zhao Bin looked at his watch.
"What the hell has happened to you, kid?" Qi Zhuang asked.
"Alas...... I can see you alive, maybe my parents, the spirit of heaven bless me. Wang Yuan said.
Then Wang Yuan told them what he had passed in the past six hours.
"Oh my God, you're really fateful." Qi Zhuang said.
"I can't believe I'll survive, I'm okay now, maybe those snakes aren't poisonous." Wang Yuan said. "By the way, did it take you six hours to get here?"
"No, we waited there for a long time after you fell, and we didn't have to go long." Qi Zhuang said.
"I thought I'd never see you again." Saying that, Xiaoying lay on Wang Yuan's body and cried again.
"Ahh This place has been bitten by snakes. Wang Yuan wailed.
"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
"Wang Yuan, take a look below." Zhao Bin said.
At this time, Wang Yuan got up and looked down, the four of them were on the stone pile at the mouth of the passage at this time, and the bottom of the stone pile was covered with huge bones that glowed with blue light, and it looked like glowing ore from a distance.
