As soon as the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet sank into the dark and cold water, the illumination range immediately decreased, and in this dark and dreary underground water, there was only a little more than a meter of visual range, which was about the same as that of a blind man.

In my haste, I quickly held my breath and looked down to see the four-petal mouthparts of a strange baby that was one of worms and men, just biting into my kettle bag. Military kettles have a green canvas cover, which is very sturdy and thick. The baby's mouth was full of fleshy spines that grew inward, and it was hard to let go of the bite if it didn't swallow it, and the baby was kicking my thighs desperately with both forelegs, trying to pull its mouth out of the kettle bag.

In the dim water, the face of the carous baby was even uglier, the whole body was wrinkled, and the rough skin looked like a newborn, it was simply an old and ugly soft reptile. At this moment, when I looked at it up close at the bottom of the water, I immediately had a feeling of disgust, but fortunately, it was just bitten on the kettle, if it bit on the buttocks, this time it was already over.

The power of the baby is very great, as early as when it is not separated from the mother's body, it can drive the dead drift in the egg to move quickly, and at this time it is constantly pulled to the bottom of the water, which is very bad. I couldn't wait to get rid of this ugly and fierce monster baby immediately, and the sapper shovel, mountaineering pickaxe and other competent equipment were all in the backpack with inflatable air bags, so I had to reach out on my lap and pull out the Russian-style paratrooper knife in my hand.

I wanted to cut the four-petal mouthparts of the strange baby with a knife, but it suddenly occurred to me that if I cut it, it would inevitably flow out poisonous blood, so I would also be in danger of poisoning, so it would be safer to cut the strap of the kettle.

At that moment, he pinned the Russian-style paratrooper knife to the strap of the marching kettle, and rubbed it hard with the hook groove on the inside of the blade, and the strap of the kettle was broken. The baby's mouth was still hanging on the kettle, my chest was about to explode, my heart was pounding, I was anxious to get to the surface to breathe, and I didn't want to entangle with it any more, so I slammed down on the baby's head with my free feet, kicked it away, and swam quickly to the surface of the water with my own strength.

Before I reached the surface, I suddenly noticed that there were white shadows on the left and right, and there was a strange baby like a big white fish, which pounced on me from the bottom of the water. They are agile and agile in the water, and they are not inferior to swimming fish.

I only screamed in my heart, and I was already wrapped in the middle by them, and on both sides there were four large strange mouths, and pink barbed bushes were spreading, and even if I was not bitten to death by them, my breath was close to the limit, and if I was slightly entangled, I would have to choke to death by the water.

I didn't even think about it, in fact, there was no room for thought at all, and when I saw the strange baby who pounced on the left, I had to shrink my shoulders to avoid its strange mouth, and then followed by my left hand to go around from above, and grabbed its back by the neck.

The other side immediately rushed to my side, and I hurriedly used my left hand to take the baby who I grabbed by the back of the neck, and with the force of its rush in the water, it was pulled in the stabbing obliquely, and collided with the baby on my right hand side who pounced later. Two eight barbed monsters snapped together, unable to separate any longer, struggling to sink to the bottom of the water.

I escaped death, and immediately stepped on the water with both feet, jumped out of the water, greedily breathed in the sultry air of the gourd hole, and my brain recovered from the semi-oxygen-deprived blank state.

Looking around, the water surface was quietly pitch black, and there was no trace of the fat two, the echo of the detonating cord explosion was still echoing in the cave, and the smell of gunsmoke had not yet dissipated.

The more you move forward, the faster the water flows, and you don't even need to exert your strength, and you will be involuntarily washed forward by the water, and the sloping gourd hole is pouring the groundwater inside into the deep valley outside. Seeing that the bright light at the entrance of the cave began to become dazzling, the heart-rending cries of the babies behind him suddenly sounded, and the strange babies who were temporarily frightened away by the explosion caught up again. These guys can move quickly on the stone wall, and they are even more swift in the water, and I can't help but feel troubled in my heart, even if I get out of the gourd hole, I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with these freaks.

But it was useless to worry, so I had to comfort myself, didn't the PLA also retreat all the way, dragging down the enemy, in exchange for the final big counteroffensive on all fronts? I had to grit my teeth and continue swimming. When I looked up at the entrance of the cave, I saw a figure flickering, and someone threw down a rope, because of the backlight, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but the figure should be Shirley Yang. The water flow at the mouth of the gourd was so strong that I grabbed the rope so that I was not swept underneath by the water. The sound of the water outside the cave roared, the sunlight pierced the eyes, and it was impossible to see where he was for a while, so he grabbed an old vine hanging on the edge of the cave and pulled out of the water.

The body hung in the air, only to feel the vines around me, Shirley Yang asked me: "We came out of the cave to find that you were gone, and we were about to go back to look for you, why did you fall behind?" ”

I waved my hand: "It's hard to say, let's go back and talk about the details, what about the fat man?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously and began to adjust to the sunlight outside, and when I looked down, I was dizzy and it turned out that the place I was in was the edge of the gourd mouth, which was a large group of waterfalls. In this large basin where three rivers flow side by side and peaks are towering, all the water systems that flow out of the worm valley have become large and small waterfalls, rushing into the big pools below. The largest of them is nearly 20 meters wide, and the water is pouring down, splashing in all directions, and the sound is shaking the green valley.

This large waterhole is unfathomable, with a diameter of seven or eight hundred meters, and in addition to the waterfalls, there are thick vines and plants everywhere, all of which are green, like a huge green barrel, and the water pool below is unfathomable. The entrance to the cave we came out of was a waterfall with a relatively small flow, and on the outermost side of the waterfall group, there were countless vines growing around it, otherwise we would not have been smashed into a deep pool by the rushing water as soon as we got out of the hole. The fat man and the big backpack with all the equipment were hanging on the old vines below, and the old vines were trembling, and they didn't know if they could bear the weight.

Here is no less than 30 meters away from the deep pool below, and the fat man has a fear of heights, so he simply closes his eyes and doesn't even dare to look. Shirley Young had already installed a pid in the crack in the stone, and put a rope down, hanging down to the fat man, who closed his eyes and felt the rope and hung it on the safety bolt around his waist.

I see that these vines are old and tough, and there are also climbing ropes hanging fat men as protection, it is expected that there is no big problem for a while, but I am afraid that those freaks will chase them out, and it is even more dangerous to encounter them on this cliff. At this time, it is up or down, and you must make a judgment immediately: climb to the cliff, then you can return to the end of the worm valley; Downward is a deep pool, but according to the current situation, the fat man can't climb up anyway, only move down.

I settled down, and then I saw the surrounding environment clearly, and if I didn't look at it, I was stunned. The huge water flow of the waterfalls stirs up infinite mist, because the terrain is too low, the water vapor is diffuse, and it is illuminated by the sun, turning into a rainbow of light, and countless rainbows support a golden palace in mid-air. The palace is in the quetai, the god wall, the stele pavilion, the corner tower, the dedication hall, the spirit platform are all available, the Qionglou jade pavilion, it is completely the weather of the Great Qin, the majestic Qin bricks and Han tiles, stand in the rainbow water vapor, like a heavenly palace that has been transformed.

I was stunned by the city in the sky, and Shirley Yang tugged at my arm: "That's the tomb of the king, but if you look closely, it's not in the air." ”

I stopped my heart and looked at it again, only to see that this heavenly palace was indeed not built in the sky, but a large-scale mountain-style building, just like the world-famous hanging temple, with unimaginable engineering technology, built on the vertical plane of the cliff. The surrounding area is full of greenery, which makes this palace colorful and makes people suddenly have a dreamy feeling of witnessing a city in the sky and a mirage.

I don't know what makes this city in the sky so well preserved, and the brilliant colors have not diminished in the slightest, but I don't have time to think about it now, although the sound of the water is endless, but the soul-inducing cry in the cave can already be heard outside the cave, and those freaks will catch up in an instant. I pointed to the palace of the king's tomb and said to Shirley Young, "Let's find a way to retreat there first, and the broken worm path of the king's tomb should be able to stop them." ”

Shirley Yang said: "Okay, there are several ancient plank roads hanging on the side, which can be bypassed. ”

I also saw the remains of the plank road hanging on the cliff, all of which are built with stone piles and stone slabs, and some places are more adapted to local conditions, directly digging the mountain as a ladder, and a circle surrounds the circular cliffs, among which there are two plank roads, leading to the big pool below. The mere excavation of these plank roads is breathtaking.

I climbed the old vine and went down to the fat man, and then took Shirley Yang as well. The nearest boardwalk to us was not far to the left, and I said to Fat Man and Shirley Young, "Cut the vine and swing it to the boardwalk." ”

It's a risky option, but there's no better way to do it right now. Such a high cliff, not to mention the fat man who has a fear of heights, even Shirley Yang and I also feel dizzy, every move, is like standing on the rainbow mist, every step is like walking on the ice in the abyss, thrilling, I have to put my heart to the throat, not to mention to drag the broken vine to fly to the plank road seven or eight meters away, who dares to guarantee that the plank road on the cliff is still strong, maybe it will become a powder when touched.

The fat man was still hesitant, and his whole body was shaking through chaff. I said to the fat man, "Can you stop trembling, if you shake it any longer, these vines will have been broken by you, it is better to jump out and fight hard, even if you fall to death, you are a good man, better than your bear bag nest death." ”

The fat man said: "Don't squeeze me with words, you jump first, I will jump after you jump, whoever doesn't jump is a grandson." ”

Shirley Jan had hooked a long vine with a paratrooper knife and said to me and the fat man, "Don't argue, those leprosy babies have already crawled over, and it will be too late to leave." ”

I looked up, and sure enough, I saw four or five humanoid insects crawling down from the top of our heads, and it seemed that there were more behind us, and their bodies seemed to be a little larger than before, and they had broken away from the shape of babies, and the characteristics of insects were more obvious.

I took the Chicago typewriter out of the fat man's backpack and shot a few shots at it. The three half-humanoid reptiles were immediately shot, and tumbled down into the turquoise pool, only to see three small white splashes on the surface of the water, and they did not even hear a sound, all of them were covered by the thunderous sound of the waterfall, and their corpses were not seen to rise to the surface.

The three of them were shocked, Shirley Yang looked down at the barometer on his wrist, the altitude was even lower than the famous Grand Canyon of Colorado in the United States, and he couldn't help but exclaim, how is this place so much like a bottomless ghost cave in the Zagrama Mountains!

I stretched out my hand to carry the backpack behind my back, where can I care if this place is similar to the ghost cave, thinking that as long as the fat man is in a high place, the courage is worse than that of a rabbit, if we get to the plank road first, he will not dare to jump over, so I have to let him jump first. At that moment, he couldn't help but say, stuffed the old vine into the fat man's hand, and said to him: "You can rest assured, don't forget that you still have a safety bolt hanging on your waist, and you can't be killed if you fall." After that, he immediately cut off the old vine and kicked it on the fat man's buttocks, trying to make him jump to the plank road five meters below the slope first.

But my foot kicked in the air. Where we were more than a dozen entangled vines, falling with the three of us and a large bag of equipment, and the endurance was balanced. At this moment, three or four old vines suddenly broke off at once, and we were all hung in the air and crumbling. The sudden fall was unexpected, and when I looked up, it turned out that the rattan had been bitten off by the strange insects that had caught up from behind.
