Chapter 53: Two Coffins
I was caught off guard and suddenly pulled down by something, and immediately choked on a few mouthfuls of water. The force of the thing was surprisingly strong, and it pulled me to the bottom of the water so fast, my consciousness became more and more blurred, I wanted to struggle, but there was nowhere to rely on it, my chest felt more and more dull, and my brain began to go blank.
It was as if time had stopped, nothing was there, I couldn't feel anything, I didn't feel anything, only white. Is it true that people are particularly calm before they die? I can't remember anything at the moment, and I don't want to. This feeling lasted for a while, and all of a sudden it turned into darkness and I lost consciousness completely.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was pitch black, the darkness in which I couldn't see anything. I stretched out my hand, and suddenly I touched the real thing, and it was cold in my hand, like a wooden plank. I pushed hard, and I pushed the plank a bit, and with a lot of effort, I finally pushed the plank aside. Then a light came in, and when I looked at it, I was speechless in astonishment, and I was lying in a coffin.
What the hell is going on, am I already dead? I pinched myself, the pain was still there, I wasn't dead, so what the hell is going on, what is this place! I poked my head out to look around and saw that it was a place full of strange lights, and I don't know where the light came from, illuminating the space about the size of a basketball court. I saw that there was no one around, so I came out of the coffin, and suddenly, I noticed that there was another coffin next to it, and I didn't see any other coffin.
I wondered if it was the boy in the coffin, and I remember that we both sank to the bottom at the same time. Could it be that we are all dead, and we have been salvaged, and they are ready to bury us? I couldn't figure it out, so I simply didn't think about it, and when I walked to the coffin, I pushed it hard, but I didn't push it, and this coffin didn't seem to be the same as the one I was lying on. So I worked harder, intending to push the lid of the coffin open to see what was inside, but I didn't expect that after pushing a few handfuls, I was tired and sweaty, and I still couldn't push it. At that moment, I faintly heard some slight noise, so I squatted down.
Sticking my head out, I saw a black-pitched humanoid monster walking by, the same ugly monster I've seen many times! It stood up and walked now, looking like a human. When I saw that it was coming towards these two coffins, I wanted to close the lid on the coffin I was lying on, but it was too late, and I saw that it was about to come. As soon as he saw that the coffin had been opened, I thought I was in danger, what to do, I could feel my heart beating faster!
I thought I was going to die this time, but I didn't expect that the monster suddenly stopped, and then turned and walked back, as if there was something to deal with for the time being. I was relieved to see it turn around, and I hurriedly followed, carefully walking towards the front, trying not to make a sound. I followed it into a cave that was much darker than outside. After a while, I got used to the darkness, and I hid around the corner, not daring to go any further, for I could already hear a voice inside, and it sounded like the monster was talking to someone. No, it shouldn't be a human, it's its kind, and as for what they say, I don't understand it at all.
After a while, they seemed to be coming out, so I ran out of the cave to find a place to hide, but when I looked around, it was empty, and there was nowhere to hide. So I had an idea, jumped into the coffin quickly, and closed the lid of the coffin. After all this, the monsters had already arrived, and after hearing a few strange noises from them, I headed off into the distance. It wasn't until the footsteps died down that I gently pushed the lid of the coffin open a gap. I looked through the gap, and after about two minutes, one of the monsters came back, dragging something in its hand. When it got closer, I saw that it was actually a human, and it was actually a human corpse that it was dragging behind. Look at the corpse's whole body is white, obviously it has been soaked in water for a long time!
When I thought of water, I suddenly remembered everything, my mind was empty just now, and I actually forgot the terrible encounter before. The ship was shipwrecked, everyone fell into the sea, and none survived! Could it all be these ugly monsters doing the trick, what the hell do they want! Wait, I suddenly remembered that the stone and I had also sunk to the bottom, and it was reasonable that we would both be drowned, but I am fine at the moment, so where am I now? It can't be land, there is not even the sky or the sun here, and it is pitch black overhead, and nothing can be seen.
It occurred to me that I was in the deepest part of the River Styx at the moment, yes, I was in the monster's lair! I've heard people say that some of the deeper rivers are hollow in some places, where they don't get flooded, but the air is very thin. I was thinking, although I had some doubts, but this statement still did not hold, if I were now underwater, then I should have drowned in the process of sinking to the bottom before. The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, I couldn't find a clue, the coffin next to it was probably a stone, and I didn't know if he was still alive, I wanted to save him, but there were monsters guarding outside, and there was no way to save him.
At this time, I realized how small I was, I shouldn't have come to this Styx with the stone in the first place, I didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing! Now I'm afraid it's impossible to get out, even if there are no monsters, even if the stone is still alive now, it is impossible for us to surface. I was dragged by a monster before, and the speed was amazing, and it barely made sense that I didn't drown, but if I just swam up like this, I guess I would suffocate before I was halfway there! I suddenly felt sad, I didn't want to die, I didn't feel like I was the kind of person who had a short life! The more I thought about it, the more my mind was messed up, and I had the idea of fighting with them.
I'm about to lift the lid of the coffin and fight with them, even if I can't beat them, I want them to know that I, Liu Tian, am not afraid of them! The lid of the coffin was pushed open a little, and I stopped what I was doing, because I saw that they were segregating, no, monsters, approaching the coffin next to me.
The four monsters worked together to open the coffin, and sure enough, there was a stone lying inside, and they carried the stone out of the coffin. The stone was unconscious, and he didn't know if he was dead! Seeing this, I couldn't stand it anymore, even if the stones died, I wouldn't allow them to touch him in front of me! I pushed the lid of the coffin open, jumped out of the coffin, and rushed to the four monsters.
