Kunlun Shrine Chapter 25 Falling
As soon as he met with the fat man and Shirley Yang in the lake, before he could start his action, Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang also slipped into the water. I said to Uncle Ming that this is really messing up, you guys are staying up there, what are you going to do here? We don't have that many oxygen cylinders.
Uncle Ming dragged Ah Xiang and said to me while treading water: "Alas...... Don't mention it, I saw it above just now, there was movement in the forest again, I am afraid that the two markings Jiao have a temperament, and they are going to eat fish in the lake again, so I want to remind you from above, but my legs are a little weak, and I didn't stand firm, so I fell down. ”
I looked back at the forest by the wind-eroded lake, and only the slight wind from the mountains swept through the treetops, and I didn't see anything unusual, and then I understood. The matter is obvious, Uncle Ming, a dead old man, is worried that we will not be able to go down, and after finding the altar, find another way to escape, leave him alone, he has been worried about this for a day or two.
Since they came down, I couldn't help it, I couldn't let them soak in the water, but they only had diving goggles, no oxygen cylinders, so they had to share oxygen cylinders according to the previous method. So he gathered everyone together, redeployed, and went down from the wind-eroded cave that was smashed by a huge stone eye, and went wherever the water seeped down and seeped badly.
As soon as we were about to go down, there was a sudden commotion in the fish, and those non-white-bearded fish, like headless flies, once they fled into the cave at the bottom of the lake, they refused to come out again, and the tens of thousands of white-bearded fish formed a fish formation also trembled slightly, and seemed to be extremely nervous.
I immediately felt bad, and thought to myself: It seems that this Uncle Ming is not only an Italian on our side, in addition to helping him, he also has the potential to be a declining emperor.
As soon as this thought came to mind, some of the fish arrays in the lake had already dispersed, and it seemed that the white-bearded old fish inside were too injured to hang these fish, and some of the white-bearded fish felt that their ancestors might be dying, and their fighting spirit collapsed immediately, but there were still some of them tightly tied together, and they would rather die than disperse, but the scale was too small.
I estimate that as soon as the fish formation is dispersed, or the formation weakens, the spotted Jiao behind the mountain will soon burst out, and they will not let go of the opportunity to bite this old fish. Later, in this tranquil wind-eroded lake, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm, once the two sides fight, if the old fish is bitten to death, then there is no chance to go into the water again.
I quickly made a downward gesture and everyone dived to the bottom of the lake. The rest of the fish formation was moving towards the center of the lake, and we just swam underneath it. Dense white-bearded fish, one by one expressionless, fish eyes straight, of course, the fish themselves are expressionless, but when you see this scene at close range under the water, you will feel that these white-bearded fish are like a team of soldiers who are about to die generously, and Mu Ran's expression adds a bit of tragic color.
The hole at the top of the hive was a hole in the top of the hive, and as soon as it dived into it, the water in the lake was stirred up, and streams of black blood and the minced flesh and scales of the whitebeard fish were carried into the holes on both sides of the wind-eroded rock by the downward seepage of the undercurrent.
The fat man gestured to me, it seemed that the upper side had been dry, and pointed down, the way down was blocked by a huge stone ball, but the original appearance of the stone eye could no longer be seen, and a thick layer of transparent mayflies gathered on it, as well as various small shrimp and small fish at the end of the biological chain, which could only go around from the side. So everyone took turns using the respirator and slowly swam to the hole on the side, and the deeper they went, the stronger the undercurrent of the water felt downward.
In the passage of a cavern, Shirley Young groped his way to see which direction was possible. Going straight down is the most dangerous, the tens of millions of years of wind erosion rock is under tremendous pressure, has long been overwhelmed, maybe the stone eye on the top of the head will be smashed down, and it will have to become a pile of meat sauce if it is photographed, for the sake of safety, only from the side detour is the safest.
In the end, we dived into a big wind tunnel of more than 100 square meters, which is like a hall in the ancient city before, a little like a temple, the top wall has broken a big hole, but it is full of water, the water flow is relatively stable, it seems that there is only one entrance above, and other roads are blocked by rock, sand and gravel, although the water flow can seep through, but people can't pass. Everyone had to hold a searchlight and feel around the water, there was not much oxygen left, and if they couldn't find a way, it would be a dead end.
When there was no way to go, and everyone was very anxious, the lake in the hall suddenly became turbid, and I looked up and felt that it was not good. The old fish, which was more than ten meters long, was bitten by two fierce spotted jiao, and struggled to swim towards the hall at the bottom of the lake where we were.
The brindle Jiao is four or five meters long, although it is much smaller than the white-bearded old fish, but the strange power is endless, and the body twists and tears off a large piece of fish meat. The old fish was bruised and dying, dragging the two rivals and sank, occasionally striking the underwater wall with its body, hoping to shake them off. At this time, the two sides became entangled, tumbling and falling into the underwater temple.
In the face of these underwater behemoths, human power is simply too insignificant. I gestured to everyone, quickly dispersed, and went back upstream, although this temple was spacious, but it could not withstand their tossing, but it moved slowly under the water, and before everyone dispersed, the old fish had already hit the bottom of the temple with two spotted Jiao.
The bottom of the temple was also snow-white wind-eroded rock, the white-bearded fish with a body as big as a dragon, how powerful it was after being injured and mad, and its fish head was extremely hard, directly knocking a large hole into the ground. However, the bottom layer of this temple is also very strong, the fish head is just stuck in it and cannot move, and it is impossible to rush down, and it is impossible to pull it back, only desperately swinging the fish tail, and the turbid blood will dye the lake of the underwater temple almost red.
The qiē plan was disrupted, and we were afraid of being thrown by its fishtail in the chaos, so we scattered around the corners to hide. Since they had dispersed and were underwater, I had no way of confirming whether the rest of the people were still alive or not, so I had to ask for my own blessings.
The two black and white spotted Jiao saw that the old fish was trapped, and they were ecstatic, turning in circles with their teeth and claws under the water, and they were thinking about where to end the life of the king of fish. They were stimulated by the blood in the water, and seemed to be a little overexcited like smoking a lot, and it didn't matter if they found that there were still people in the temple, and one of them wagged his tail under the water, like a torpedo with black and white lines, and jumped over.
At this time, cracks began to appear around the hole at the bottom of the temple, and the muddy blood water poured down, and the visibility immediately improved a lot. I swept it with an underwater searchlight, only to see the spotted Jiao popping out and rushing towards Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang not far away. The two of them shared an oxygen cylinder, and they both hid in the corner of the temple trying to find a chance to leave, but it was too late, I wanted to go to the rescue, how could I be faster than the torpedo, and even if it passed, it would not be enough to stuff its teeth.
The shape shì was extremely critical, and suddenly the pressure of the underwater undercurrent suddenly increased, and the Qianjun stone eye stuck in the middle of the beehive finally fell. The spotted Jiao that pounced on Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang was also stupid by the sudden boulder, and even forgot to dodge and was smashed squarely. The buoyancy of this lake is limited, and the fall of the boulder itself has the water of the whole lake above it to be poured down, and after hitting the spotted Jiao, it didn't even hit a stunned person, and then smashed through the bottom of the underwater temple, and all the things in this temple were washed down by the huge current.
I felt like I was spinning in the water, and my body felt like I had fallen into a bottomless ghost hole, and below it was an unimaginably large underground space, so I could only keep my mouth and nose shut to prevent choking on the torrent. In a trance, I noticed that there was a large white light below, which seemed to have a strange hallucination, and I didn't know where the rest of the people had gone.
The body falls into a lake with a faint fluorescence on the rocks, but it is not very real, and there are hundreds of columns of water of various sizes on the head, pouring into the lake through various caves overhead. Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed me, and I looked at it, it turned out to be a fat man, and when I saw my companion who was living and dying, I felt a lot more relieved, and turned on the spotlight on my helmet to find the whereabouts of the other three people.
As the water continues to flow into the deep stream to the east, it is possible to be washed down if you relax a little. The fat man and I had to swim to the nearby shore first, and shouted loudly for a long time, but we were all drowned out by the sound of the current rushing down. Uncle Ming, Ah Xiang, and Shirley Yang are all missing.
I discussed with the fat man, it must have been washed downstream by the water, so hurry up and go down the road to find it, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. This underground world, the terrain and landform are strange, belong to our lives have never seen, just a step, we saw a big dragonfly-like aquatic mayfly, the whole body flashed fluorescent flying overhead, it was more than six inches long, like a white ghost flying in the air.
Just like that, I was distracted, and I lost several people, my mind was a little trance, and I didn't pay attention to the gravel slope under my feet, and the two of them stepped on it and couldn't hold their feet, rolling and sliding down, and before they could react, they had already fallen in the air. We fell seven or eight meters and landed on a large fluffy mat, dizzy for a while, fortunately this place is very soft, and it doesn't hurt to fall, but suddenly we find that it is not right, this feels ...... It turned out to be a piece of meat, so I quickly calmed down my sanity, and if I looked closely, it was not meat. I looked at the fat man, "It's a mushroom...... Ten stories tall imperial mushrooms. ”
In this huge underground space, there are countless flying mayflies at the water's edge, their life is very short, after giving birth to wings from the larvae in the water, they can only live in the air for about a few minutes, at this time their bodies will emit a special phosphor, and they will continue to glow for a period of time after death, so the entire underground is shrouded in a layer of hazy and mysterious white fluorescence.
As time goes underground, our eyes have become accustomed to this faint underground fluorescence, and seeing around us is not as blurry as it was at the beginning. I looked at the big soft cushion under me, like an umbrella and a cover, the middle part was white, and the surrounding area was pitch black, it was indeed a rare large mushroom, no less than twenty meters in diameter.
This fungus grows abundantly in damp places underground. Seeing the big mushroom under him, the fat man and I immediately remembered that when we cut the queue in the Xing'an Mountains, we went to the mountains to pick fungus, and it had just rained, and we saw a mushroom taller than a tree in the ravine, growing in the forest, and we were amazed at that time. The people in the tunzi say that it is the "emperor mushroom", if you are lucky, you can see it once or twice a year in August, but this thing grows fast and rots quickly, and it is just seen in the morning, and it may be gone before noon. And near the forest where there are emperor mushrooms, it is very dangerous, because the taste of this thing is too ostentatious, the color is different, its nature is also very different, and because of its rarity, few people can know it in detail, so everyone can only see it, neither dare to eat, nor touch, and walk around.
I told the fat man that this mushroom is not as big as the one we have seen in Xing'anling, but it is not small, and it should also be the same as the emperor's mushroom. It was almost impossible to climb back down the gravel slope by the underground lake, which was so steep that it was slippery and slippery, so I had to climb down the emperor mushroom first.
