Chapter 83 Groundwater Channels
Jin Facai put a few small pebbles into his trouser pocket, glanced at the big screen twice, and then exposed the collar of the five elements of pure gold Jue around his neck, turned around and asked, "Big official, take one?" β
I also revealed my pure fire jue, although it is still unclear how to use this thing, but in view of the special power shown in the process of ambushing the ghost fetus last time, it should also have some deterrent power when it is exposed, I hope so.
The two of them took a few steps back, sprinted and jumped, and then got into the wall of water, the big screen was only a few meters away from us, so close that it seemed as if we were about to fall into the woods that were 90 degrees perpendicular to the bottom of the water, according to experience, there was no need to waste lung capacity by paddling hard, and the body was already involuntarily close to the screen...... The white light in front of me was getting brighter and brighter, and the next second I could get in, and I was ready to slam on the ground againβon the woods on the other side of the screen.
Just as I was looking inside to look for Li Youwu and them, Jin Facai got half a body ahead of me, and then I followed...... The eyes are black.
This was completely different from what I had expected, I didn't know where I was, I didn't even feel like I was falling to the ground, I was already standing in a dark space all around, the searchlight above my head emitted an extremely faint light, the light was so dim that I could only see the distance in front of me, as if the air here was not transparent, but was dyed heavily black, so black that even the strong light of the searchlight could not penetrate a meter.
"Fatty!? Fatso!? Can you hear me? I tried to shout loudly, but the voice was eaten into the air, and there was not even a trace of echo, and the feeling was like burrowing my head into a thick quilt to speak, and it could only be heard a short distance away.
"Great officials, great officials." There was also a muffled voice, it was blonde and rich.
I couldn't find the direction the sound was coming from, so I had to turn around and look for it in the faint light. Fortunately, not far away, I found an extremely faint point of light, which was as big as a luminous watch.
"Hey, here!" I followed the light source and took my steps carefully, there was some water under my feet, as if I was in a sewer, and with each step, I felt the water being kicked away, and then it didn't reach the instep of my foot.
Kim Fa Cai also found me, and the two of them reached forward in the dark like touching the blind, and finally touched each other's hands.
"What kind of bird place is this, why is the woods you saw before gone?" Jin Facai said, and he spoke in front of me, but his voice lowered his decibels as if he was several meters away.
I raised my voice: "I don't know, but one thing seems to be clear, all sounds, light, there is resistance here, and now we can only try our luck in one direction."
In order not to get separated, I put a hand on the fat man's shoulder, and after walking a few steps, I found that there was a stone wall in front of me, and when I got closer by the headlamp, I could see the smooth frosted surface, which was also wet to the touch, like the stone wall in a cave seeping water.
After testing in different directions, we can roughly confirm that we are now in a long passage, the width of the passage is less than two or three meters, the height of the top is unpredictable, the stone wall is wet, and there is water flow under our feet, which should be an underground water channel.
There was no unusual smell in the air, not even the slightest smell of muddy water or a cave, I think it was due to the air resistance here. In order to prove whether the sense of taste is also out of order, I deliberately licked the back of my hand, with some salty smell of sweat, which is relatively normal.
"What to do, two directions, go this way, or go that way, which way?" Jin Facai asked.
As my pupils gradually adjusted to the darkness, I could already see the face of Jin Facai in front of me, and I replied: "Now is the room to choose one of the two, but I am not sure which one to choose, Xiao Lizi They came in first, and now I don't know which direction to go." It's really strange, it's a forest, but it's turned into a sewer again......"
As I spoke, I noticed that Kim Fa Choi had no reply, so I leaned closer to the headlamp and looked at him, and saw that he was closing his eyes tightly, looking pained.
"Hey, fatty, what's wrong with you?"
"Big official, hold me, my head is starting to get dizzy again, ouch mom, I'm fainting."
I hurriedly grabbed his fat body and leaned him against the stone wall: "Are you okay, why are you faint, low blood sugar?" No, I've just eaten before. β
"No, no, no, it's that kind of dizziness, it's ...... It's the kind at the table, the kind of bursts, you know? It'll be fine in a while. You let me pestle for a while. β
Sickness at the table? Now it's not at the gambling table, why do you faint inexplicably. But I have no better way now, so I can only let him rest half-against the stone wall, and think about how to find the direction of Li Youwu and their progress.
I began to recall the scene I saw when I was sinking to the bottom described by the iron egg before, and then recalled the big screen I saw through the water in the riverbed, the scene that appeared twice should be the same, and until the last glance I saw before I was sucked into the big screen, it was still the scene of a small forest, but how did it become the scene in front of me in a blink of an eye?
Could it be that every qiΔ on that big screen is an illusion, just to attract us in? And the weird 90-degree angle, as if you are lying on your side to see the world, the water in the rainbow pool is sucked into that space, but this is just a narrow underground waterway, what about the water? What about the woods? What about the comrades that Tie Dan saw? What about Lee Youwu and the others......
Countless problems are tangled together, but there is no connection between them, are we trapped here? All the villagers who fell into the waterhole were also like us, scattered in different passages one by one and slowly turned into corpses and decomposed? Why is the water in Rainbow Lake a trumpet shape that frees up a dry riverbed? β¦β¦
Thoughts kept flying, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind, and that thought seemed to be the answer I was going to get, yes, it was...... It is......
"Great official! I'm all right! Let's go! β
At a time when the hazy answer seemed to be about to be perceived by me, Kim Fa Cai slapped me on the shoulder, completely dispelling the mystery that was about to emerge.
"What are you doing, I'm shocked, I almost need to know the answer before!" I shouted in anger, but it seemed that as soon as I came out, it became muffled again.
"What? What's the answer? The blonde paused for a moment, then pulled me again and said, "Don't guess, go here!" β
With that, he dragged me towards the end of the passage and walked briskly.
"What's going on? Do you know where this is going? I listened to his tone with confidence.
"I don't know where to go, but it's going in the right direction, well, it's definitely right!" He walked in front, walking briskly, completely ignoring the dark unknown a few meters away: "I was dizzy for a while, and now my brain is very clear, this feeling has been on the table before, as long as I wake up, the opponent's cards can be guessed, this time I guess to go in this direction, it will not be wrong!" Rest assured! β
I remember the first time I met him, he did tell me about the strange ability to guess the opponent's hand at a moment's notice, but it came and went, and it wasn't dictated by his own will. Today is also the first time I realize that I am dizzy now, and it is not easy to say whether it is foolproof, but in this case, I can only bet on him.
Two people touched the stone wall, dripping with shallow water under their feet, the stone wall touched by their fingers had a thin layer of seepage, the stone wall was slightly potholed, this kind of pothole is very fine, just like touching on the coarse sandpaper, but it is not like the kind of pothole feeling of ordinary karst caves, if it is due to the long-term water flow to guide the guide, to grind the entire stone wall to this flatness, I think it will take at least a thousand years.
I don't know how long I walked, but I faintly saw some white light coming in ahead.
"Look, fatty! Front! There is an exit! I shouted.
As soon as the voice came out, I felt that the voice was no longer as muffled as before, although it was not a normal volume, but it had obviously improved a lot, could it ...... As the exit approaches, the air resistance here is getting weaker and weaker?
"Well, yes, that's it! You see I'm right, hurry! The blonde quickened his pace, and the sound of the water being kicked under his feet was faintly audible in the depths of the passage.
When the entrance of the cave was only a few dozen meters away from us, the pupils slowly returned to normal with the gradual brightening of the light, and through the light that penetrated in, we could see that the stone wall was similar to dark green, as if it was covered with a thick layer of moss, but the touch of the fingertips told me that this was by no means moss, just a stone wall that had been smoothed.
At this time, the thought that had been interrupted by Jin Facai just now inadvertently flashed through my mind, and some information that I could probably perceive slowly surfaced.
But when I deliberately think about it, the more I think about it, the more I can't remember.
When I was desperately trying to find that feeling, I slammed into Blonde Fortune's back, and he suddenly stopped and let out, "Oh Mom! β
"What's wrong?" I saw the fat golden man standing still looking at the hole in front of me, which was only seven or eight meters away from us.
I blinked vigorously to adjust to the incoming light, like looking out of a cave......
A strange scene appeared, outside the cave, was the scene of the grove we saw under the water, yes, I remember the scene I saw clearly, and the layout of the trees outside the cave, the appearance of the wild flowers on the ground...... It's exactly the same thing when I sink in front of the big screen.
It's just that the woods are no longer perpendicular to my line of sight at a 90-degree angle, but are at a normal angle to us, standing in front of us......
I even remember when I was a child, when I was a child, the slides that the teacher showed us were the same, the light pieces spread out on the table, and the refraction of the guΓ² reflector, so that the image hit the blackboard at an angle.
Now when I think back to that underwater screen image, is it just a slide-like image? So what is this channel? How did we stand in this passage through the water through the rock wall?
My thoughts became more and more chaotic, but I couldn't take a step. Jin Facai stroked a handful of golden retrievers, turned around and asked, "Big official, look, look at the outside...... Hell, what's going on, isn't this the woods under the pool in front of you......"
"I saw it! Leave it alone for now, go out and have a look. I mustered up the courage to go to the front, and Kim Fa Cai followed me and muttered, "I didn't have a gun with me!" All on the shore. β
"The gun is a fart, didn't you see the bullets you picked up on the way up the mountain? You've forgotten the girl who bathed in the river. "I was convinced by this time that since we entered the mountains, all the modern weapons that could be used against humans had lost their practical significance.
The two slowed down, step by step towards the outside of the hole, and then took the last step out of the hole, the two of them first poked their heads out and looked around the forest outside, the air was completely restored to normal, and even could smell the fragrance of some grass and earth, wild flowers were brilliant, all the flowers were faint pink and purple, and the forest looked closely, in fact, it was just a huge banyan tree, decomposing countless aerial roots, one by one into the soil, at first glance it looked like a forest, I've never seen a banyan tree that huge before, and if it were to grow into such a large forest, it would be thousands of years old.
After the two looked at each other, they nodded to each other and stepped out of the hole, and took a few steps forward, Jin Facai shouted loudly: "Little Lizi!" Company Commander Wang! Ahu! Leopard! Ah Zi! β¦β¦ Where are you, have you heard that!? β
The shouts startled a few birds on the branches, and they chirped and flew into the distance, and I looked around and saw no human figure, and then I looked up and looked at the sky through the gap in the leaves, and it seemed to be cloudy, and there was not a single cloud, and there was no sunlight, just a gray-white sky. I don't know exactly what time it is, but it should be dark before we enter the water, but there is no sign of nightfall.
"Ouch mom!" Kim Fa Cai glanced back, and sat down on the ground as if he was frightened.
I immediately crouched down and looked back cautiously, and there was nothing foreign except for the rows of old banyan trees and the small flowers of the ground.
"What's wrong with you, I'm shocked again, I saw a ghost!" I glared at him.
"Great officials...... Didn't you find ......, great official, where is our cave? β
As soon as I was told by him, the hairs on my body immediately stood up, I turned around and looked around 360 degrees, except for the woods or the woods, we were in the middle of the old banyan forest at this time, surrounded by aerial roots and a large field of wildflowers, where did we come from?
Only a few steps behind us, the exit of the underground water channel, which was supposed to be there, disappeared.
