Chapter 43: The Dark River Escapes

It didn't last long on the iron cable, and the flying python, which was covered in fire, had already chased after it. The three of us, except for Lao Zhao behind me, glanced at each other, broke away from the second layer of iron cables, and jumped into the turbulent underground river.

Thanks to the cushioning of two layers of iron cables, we are only three or four meters above the water. Entering the water from this height did not cause any harm to our bodies, but the underground river was flowing very fast, and several people were scattered more than ten meters away. I choked on a few mouthfuls of water before I could barely stabilize my body, and Lao Zhao behind me seemed to faint again because of his sudden entry into the water and his weakness.

At this time, I don't bother to check on his situation, and if I take him down, it will become more difficult to act. All I could do was pray silently, hoping that not too much water would reach his lungs. Looking overhead, the burning python also rushed down, but it was entangled in the iron cables that ran through it, only a few meters away from me, and I could clearly smell the smell of burnt python skin and flesh in the air.

Maybe the python also wanted to pounce into the water to extinguish the flames on its body, so it struggled the iron rope. After going crazy, the python seemed to be infinitely powerful, and the iron rope was creaking and thinking about it, and the hole that the iron cable penetrated into kept falling into the water.

Seeing this scene, I didn't dare to delay, for fear that if this guy earned it, he would smash me into the bottom of the river. So I paddled with Lao Zhao on my back and swam towards the pit. I'm pretty good at the water, but even then it's hard to carry myself in the water. Although I was only a dozen meters away, I managed to swim in front of them. The two of them grabbed a raised stone, stabilized their bodies, saw me coming, greeted me, and untied Lao Zhao from their backs.

Lao Zhao was too miserable this time, first he was bitten by the corpse, and now he choked a lot of water, we leaned him against the stone, and the three of them worked together to pour out the water he drank in, and Lao Zhao, who was in a coma, slowly woke up. Lao Zhao, who woke up, opened his mouth, but did not speak, and it seemed that his body was still very weak.

The pit brain drew a sentence: "Brother Zhao, do you want to drink some water?" ”

I glared at him, "I didn't choke enough." The pit reacted and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lao Zhao has woken up, and the stone hanging in our hearts has been put down. At this time, the python wrapped around the iron cable struggled more and more fiercely, and the sound of the iron rope constantly colliding with each other. After all, this iron cable is also a thing from nearly a thousand years ago, and it will also rust and corrode, how can you resist this crazy monster tossing like this. After some shaking, one of the iron cables broke first and fell into the water, and as the iron cable broke, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance, and the sound was muffled towards the ground. The body of the big flying python was also partially withdrawn, and the bottom section was almost close to the water.

"Let's go." I'll say to two people. Immediately, one person opened the way in front, and two people carried the injured Lao Zhao and fled downstream of the underground river.

After swimming a hundred and eighty meters, I glanced back at the flying python in the flames, half of its body plunged into the water, and the other half still hanging on the iron cable. Almost half of the ropes were torn off by it, and it ran out of strength, so half soaked in water and half hung on the cables and burned. At the same time, the rumbling sound grew louder and louder, as if someone was beating a drum in his ear.

"There's no fucking monster going to kill again, is there?" Pit Road.

"Probably not, it's not like a living thing can make a sound." I replied.

"Don't talk to me about any living creatures now, I don't believe it." The pit said. I didn't reply, I have nothing to say, this experience left a deep impression on me, how many of the things we thought were impossible, all happened in front of us one by one, completely destroying our original worldview.

The rumbling sound was getting closer, and we looked behind us as we swam. Because there were wounded, the speed was extremely slow. Just as we were noticing, the water in the underground river rose little by little. When I looked behind me again, I saw that the river behind me had turned into huge waves and were pouring into the sea. Due to the width of the river itself, huge currents pile up waves more than four meters high in the narrow channel. Thinking of the rumbling sound just now, and the fact that it was the flood season, I immediately thought that the python must have destroyed the mechanism in the tomb while struggling, and at the same time caused the collapse of the tomb's flood control system, and the flash flood that had been kept out of the door was all poured into the ancient tomb. At the same time, it also caused a great collapse of the entire tomb, and large stones continued to fall into the water.

Run, the three of us came up with the same idea almost at the same time. The three of them held up Lao Zhao and paddled forward desperately. Unfortunately, the more we want to go fast, the more we rush to make a piece, and as a result, the speed becomes slower.

In this way, soon the waves caught up with us, and we had nowhere to hide, but to stare dryly and watch the waves come behind us, and with a powerful impact, there is no doubt that we have been swept up in the waves. At such a speed, it was completely impossible to stabilize the current, and the waves rolled over us, constantly hitting the rocks on both sides, and each impact brought unspeakable pain, and it felt like the whole body was being knocked apart. I held my head in my hands and curled up to protect it from hitting my head on the rocks.

As the waves rolled I don't know how far, the river widened and the current gradually slowed down. I tried to stretch out and steady. I swam over and found that the pit was full of blood, and the blood was flowing down my face, and the pit was washing my face, intending to wash the blood off my face. Seeing me coming, hey hey, two handfuls of water to wash his face, and now there is nothing to bandage, fortunately, his injury is not serious, only skin trauma. After meeting the pit, I continued to swim along the river and found Song Jin at a few dozen meters.

When we found Song Jin, he was holding Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao was pulling his head. I stepped forward and called Lao Zhao, but Lao Zhao didn't react at all. I asked Song Jin, Lao Zhao fainted again?

Song Jin shook his head, I picked up Lao Zhao's head, put my hand on my nose and tried it, there was no breathing, Lao Zhao is dead?

My head banged, although there were many hardships and injuries along the way, but we never left a single person, and now Lao Zhao is gone? If Lao Zhao hadn't promised to take us down, we wouldn't have had such an unforgettable experience. Although most of the relationship between me and Lao Zhao is business, with this experience, I have already treated Lao Zhao as my eldest brother. Now that Lao Zhao is driving the crane to the west, my heart is sour, and tears flow out.

I just cried twice, and the pit said don't cry, you can cry again when you are clear. I said that people are out of gas, what else is there to say. The pit waved his hand and said, "Don't jump to conclusions so early, you see that this person's pupils have not dilated." The pit picked Lao Zhao's eyelids. Shine a flashlight that is almost rotten.

I hurriedly went over to take a look, and sure enough, as the pit said, if Lao Zhao died, his pupils should be dilated, but now Lao Zhao's eyes are like normal people. I said, "What's going on, but the person is already out of breath, is it not completely dead?" ”

"Don't break around, this is called fake death, it is a deep coma, mechanical damage can easily cause fake death, Lao Zhao is now too seriously injured, so there is fake death." This time, the pit taught me a lesson, but I was really educated.

But immediately I reacted to one thing, "How do you know these things?" I asked the pit.

The pit turned his head, pulled the corner of his clothes with his hand and said, "Dead ghost, the girlfriend of the Lun family is a nurse......" Looking at the pit shyness, I couldn't bear it and didn't spit it out.

Lao Zhao is lucky in misfortune that he is not dead, the question is how to get rid of his state of suspended animation? In fact, in the final analysis, Lao Zhao is seriously lacking energy because of his injury and weakness. I still had a backpack behind me, but there was nothing to eat in it, and I searched for a long time and found nothing. I don't know where I threw my bag for a long time, and most of Song Jin's bag is full of medicines. Thinking of the medicine, I saw that the blood on the pit's face was still flowing, so I said to Song Jin, let's stop the blood in the pit first.

Song Jin nodded, opened the bag and took out some gauze and medicine to clean up the wound for the pit, and the pit said thank you while being happy, he could still be so optimistic at this time. I'm afraid only a pit can do it.

I held Lao Zhao with one hand and looked through Song Jin's backpack with the other, hoping to find some leftover food, but I didn't find anything to eat. Just as I was giving up, my eyes lit up, and a bottle of glucose injection in the medicine caught my attention. How did I ignore this thing, isn't this the best food, I picked up the syringe, stuck it into the bottle and filled it with a tube, and slowly put it into Lao Zhao's mouth, and so on a few times, Lao Zhao in suspended animation finally had a little reaction, and his breathing began to be normal.

We breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally dragged Lao Zhao back from the ghost gate. After another two hours along the river, the water has become quite gentle, just when we think we are about to go out, there is a fork in the road in front of us, the current river channel, actually split into three forks, we now do not know what to do, now we are still underground, can only choose one of them to go. And you must make a quick decision, there is a sound of a hole collapsing behind him, which is caused by the flash flood hitting the ancient tomb, this ancient tomb was built on the mountain, once it collapses, I am afraid that we will also be buried for it.

The pit said that if we go separately, one by one, at least one person can go out. The proposal of the pit is not unreasonable, it can only be a last resort, at least it will not wipe us out.

Just as I hesitated, there was a child's laughter in the fork in the road on the left, which echoed loudly through the empty cave. Pit Zi and Song Jin immediately became vigilant, thinking that something was about to come out. And I didn't react at all, because the laughter was exactly the same as the laughter I had heard before after we killed the monkeys, except that I was the only one who heard it at the time, and now all three of us heard it.

Laughter still came from the fork in the road, as if it was deliberately drawing us in. My heart is crossed, and I go to the left. The pit and Song Jin looked at each other, and I explained that if he wanted to harm us, we wouldn't be able to hide even if we didn't enter the fork in the road, so it was better to go in and see what was going on. My statement touched them, and we picked up Lao Zhao and walked into the fork on the left, and strangely enough, as soon as we entered the fork, the child's laughter immediately stopped.

After walking cautiously along the river for a long time, the collapse behind us gradually stopped, and with a glimmer of light in sight, we finally returned to the surface.

Back on the ground, I couldn't hold on any longer, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, gasping for air. The pit called to me behind me, and I looked back to see a huge lake in the distance behind us, and it seemed that the tomb had completely collapsed.

After finding some wild fruits to eat and catching a few fish in the river, we replenished our strength and embarked on the road back, and after a few days of travel, we finally returned to our small city.
