Chapter 178: Cold Jade Shadow
84_84070Before I could finish speaking, Ansari was the first to chase after him, and a few of us followed, and we saw the black shadow running rapidly on the mountain wall in front of me, almost like walking on the ground, and in a moment it was far away.
We chased after us, and suddenly there was a sound of rushing water in the empty cave, echoing in the cave, only to see the flashlight swaying, shouting and shouting, chasing the black shadow all the way down.
But the black shadow is always not far ahead, and sometimes it looks back at us, as if it is leading us over, and the flashlight flashes from time to time, shining on the black shadow, I can't help but move, this black shadow looks, why is there still black hair on it?
The cave was not very long, and we soon came to the end of the water, but we saw that it was a recessed pool, and the black shadow jumped into the water, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
We ran there to see, there was no way ahead, a half-moon-shaped pool of water gurgling and blistering, Ansari reached out and scooped something out of the water, and in the light of the flashlight, it was a few long thick black hairs, which looked like the hair of some animal.
As soon as I looked at the black hair, something suddenly came to my mind, and I blurted out, "I remembered, it seemed to be a black ape just now." It's, that's what we met that day."
I'm talking about the giant ape raised by the old man in Mirror Lake, but Ansari said: "That giant ape is nearly three meters tall, do you think that one just now will be?" ”
I patted my head, and then I remembered that the giant ape was indeed very tall, but the black shadow just now didn't look so tall, after all, this cave was only three or four meters in total.
"Whether it's or not, since that thing can climb in the cave and walk outside, it's definitely not something in the water, since it enters from here, there must be an exit from the other end, let's chase it out, maybe we will reach Mirror Lake."
"But," Ansari hesitated, and said, "I'm okay with this underwater, you"
"Uh" I scratched my head, how did this need to go into the water, this is my weakness
At this moment, He Xiaochen suddenly shouted, "Look, there is a passage here. ”
I hurriedly looked back, and saw He Xiaochen standing at the end of the cave, under the light of the flashlight, there was a very hidden narrow cave entrance, with more than ten steps extending upward, but there was a black rumbling, if you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it at all.
We walked over and looked at each other, and Lao Pan said, "I'll take a look here first, that thing just now seems to be intentionally luring us over, maybe there will be another world here." ”
I glanced back at the pool of water, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, let's go up and have a look first." ”
He Xiaochen chuckled: "I think you're afraid of swimming." ”
"Nonsense, who said I can't swim, no matter how bad it is, I can still come twice when the dog gouges"
As we spoke, Ansari had already gone up the stairs first, and we followed, and when we went up, we found that it was a small platform, and there was a passage more than a meter wide in front of it, about ten meters long, but the further we went, the more open it became, like a gourd-shaped, and further on, a stone gate appeared.
Sure enough, there was an unexpected gain, and this stone gate was hidden, but standing here, I felt that the temperature around me was very cold, and a hazy cold mist slowly overflowed from the stone gate.
We observed in front of the stone gate, and found that the cold fog seemed to be nothing abnormal except for the cold, Lao Pan stood in front of the door, thought for a while, and waved his hand to us, and everyone walked carefully inside.
"It's cold, be careful." I couldn't help but shudder, turned around and whispered to He Xiaochen, but she rolled her eyes at me and said, "I think you have to be careful, don't forget, I've been exploring tomb robberies since I was a teenager!" ”
As she spoke, she suddenly exclaimed, a stumbling and almost fell, I hurriedly reached out to support her, the flashlight shone out, and I saw a corpse lying on the ground next to her, but if you look closely, the corpse is very tall, more than two meters high, lying on the ground, just now He Xiaochen was accidentally tripped by the leg bone that the corpse protruded.
"Tsk, I said you to be careful" I looked at her and couldn't help but be a little funny, He Xiaochen also looked annoyed, glared at me and didn't speak, stretched out his foot and wanted to kick the bones, but after thinking about it, he gave up again.
The sudden appearance of this corpse made us vigilant, and we did not rush forward, and glanced around, only to see that in front of us, there was a white jade stone platform, and a cold mist came from the stone platform.
In addition to the bones on the ground just now, there is also this white jade platform, there is nothing else weird, we carefully look forward, but we feel that the further we go, the colder it becomes, when we walk nearly ten meters away from the white jade platform, the cold fog in the air has almost condensed white ice crystals, and the jade platform, on the ground, there are frost-like white objects everywhere.
"Wait a minute." Lao Pan suddenly stopped us in a low voice, "It's not quite right, this jade platform seems to be the legendary cold jade bed, the temperature is extremely low, ordinary people will have a broken limb when they touch it, I don't think it's easy to move forward." ”
"Cold jade bed? No, how did I hear that that kind of thing only exists in extremely cold and extremely cold places, this Songshan Mountain is located in the Central Plains, how can there be such a thing? He Xiaochen said in wonder, and at the same time disobediently took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand into the cold mist, but suddenly exclaimed, retracted his hand, took a few steps back, and saw that a layer of frost had appeared on his hand.
Lao Pan glanced at her and said: "You are right, the cold jade bed does refer to the extremely cold and extremely cold place, but it does not mean that it cannot be brought to the Central Plains, and this valley of the five elements is very strange, not only is it hidden, but the temperature difference is also very large, if the cold jade bed is in this environment, maybe it will be preserved." Besides, haven't you tried it yourself? ”
He Xiaochen pursed his lips and didn't speak, but his expression was very unnatural, and his hand also hung down, holding it tightly with the other hand, obviously he had suffered a cold injury just now.
This time, we didn't dare to step forward lightly, but I looked at the so-called "cold jade bed", but vaguely saw that there seemed to be someone on it, but the cold fog rose from there, and it was not clear at all, if I wanted to get closer, it was impossible.
We hesitated for a moment, and Ansari suddenly said, "You wait here, I'll take a look." ”
He has always spoken briefly, but at this time he wants to take risks in person, but he wants us to wait in a safe place, I hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out my hand and pulled him, and was about to speak, but at this time a cold fog hit, I shivered, only to feel that my hands were cold to the bone, and I hurriedly retracted my hands, and subconsciously covered my chest.
But at this moment, something strange happened, there was a strange feeling of heat and cold in my chest, my heart moved, I reached into my arms, but I touched the ancient jade that had always hung on my chest, pulled it out and looked at it, I saw that the ancient jade emitted a hazy white light, and my hand, which was already a little frozen, was restored to normal in this instant.
"Wait!"
I blurted out that Ansari had just taken a few steps forward at this time, and when he heard the words, he stopped, and when I looked back, I saw that his face was also blue, and he was obviously holding on.
"This piece of ancient jade seems to be a little strange, it seems to be not afraid of this cold air."
As I spoke, I subconsciously held the ancient jade and walked forward, as if to confirm this, several people were stunned, including Ansari did not stop me, I walked to the cold jade bed step by step, Ansari suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand to me, but he let out a low cry and hurriedly retracted.
This cold fog is really not something that anyone can endure.
I turned around and smiled at him, very strange, at this time I didn't have such a strong feeling as him, although it was also very cold, but I held the ancient jade in my hand, but I seemed to have adapted to this temperature, so step by step, walked to the cold jade bed.
This seems to be an instinctive natural reaction, when I look back, the figures of several of them are already a little hazy, turning my head, I took a deep breath, staring at the cold jade bed, I saw waves of cold mist constantly pouring out from above, in this cold mist, I can already clearly see that there is indeed a figure lying on the cold jade bed.
My eyes widened, trying to see the figure's face and figure, but somehow, at this moment, a vaguely familiar scene suddenly appeared in my mind
