099 Underground Labyrinth
"Whew!" With a bang, the lake opposite instantly filled with white mist.
"Is this boiling water?" I asked Kong Xuan.
"No, it's the lake that's frozen!" Kong Xuan said in a deep voice.
I was amazed, and when the white fog disappeared, I looked closely, and sure enough, the lake opposite had formed ice cubes, and there was a black hole in the center of the ice block, and I couldn't see how deep it was from a distance, but one thing I was sure of was that there were stairs winding down this hole.
It turns out that this is the entrance mechanism, which is so advanced.
"Let's go!" Lin Tao gave the order again, and he couldn't wait until dawn any longer. Thinking about it, the Sleeping Land appears once in three hundred years, and each time it is only three days, and as soon as the morning dawns is the third day, I can't wait for me.
"That boar isn't going to pop up, is it?" On the way, I quietly asked Kong Xuan. Without the protection of the big pine tree, I felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the eyes that the giant boar glared at me as it left.
"Shut up, shut your crow's mouth!" Kong Xuan shuddered and said angrily at me.
I kept looking around, for fear that the wild boar would suddenly come out of nowhere and bite my head. When I reached the lake, I didn't see any wild boars, so I breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at the lake.
The lake in front of me can no longer be called a lake, it can only be said to be a huge ice block, but it is very strange that such a large ice block does not seem to be cold at all, standing next to it does not feel cold at all, this is completely unreasonable, isn't the water only frozen below zero? I bent down and touched the ice, and indeed, it wasn't freezing at all, at least in the twenties.
Lin Tao whispered something to Dark Green, Dark Green nodded, took out the knife, stabbed obliquely on the ice, the one-foot-long blade was completely inserted into the ice, the wrist twisted, drew a circle, pulled out a cone-shaped ice cube, looked at it, turned around and said: "The ice slag above and below this ice cube is the same, and it seems that the water in this lake has been frozen." ”
Lin Tao hummed and beckoned us to walk towards the entrance in the middle of the lake.
The entrance is about 30 meters away from the lake, and our group has just walked on the ice for more than ten meters, when Ai Jiayu suddenly turned pale and shouted: "Stop, something is wrong!" ”
We stopped, and there was a faint thump of thump under our feet, dense as a drumbeat, and getting closer.
"Look!" Dark Green suddenly screamed strangely, pointing in the direction of the lake, and his voice was a little distorted.
Looking up, I saw waves tumbling in the bushes by the lake, and a straight undulating line rushed towards the lakeside, as if a giant creature was rapidly approaching.
Wild boar! That giant boar!
I'm sure everyone had guessed, and sure enough, as the bushes parted to the left and right, the giant boar was scurrying towards us, its blood-red eyes fixed on me.
Grass, why is this beast so cunning that he doesn't attack us when he is on the mountain, because he knows that there are many trees on the mountain, and we can climb the trees at any time to dodge, and at this moment, after the huge lake is frozen, there is no shelter at all, and it can ravage us unscrupulously.
The crowd shouted and ran in all directions.
The boar seemed to have identified me and rushed straight at me, what else could I do? Run.
I kept looking back while running, and when I saw this wild boar getting closer and closer to me, my scalp was numb. It's unfair. Bring seeds, you stand up and run with me!
The boar's squeawing is audible, and I can feel the heat coming out of its mouth without looking back. Brother Pig, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, when is the time to repay the grievances, wow, be a man...... Why be so persistent as a pig?
I don't know if Lao Tzu will be bitten to death by a wild boar, which is a way of death that I have never considered before.
Just when he felt that he was going to die here, the black entrance appeared in front of him, and he was driven by instinct, screaming, and rushed down the stairs.
The wild boar also rushed in with me, without hesitation.
The passage in front of me was extremely spacious, almost as tall as two people, and I didn't know what was inside, and the whole passage exuded a soft light like the moon.
Luckily, the boar didn't teach him how to climb the stairs, and as soon as he entered the passage, he fell down the stairs and rolled down, which was not much slower than my running speed. A man and a pig stumbled and rolled and climbed down more than 30 meters, and the stairs became flat.
After running for more than ten meters, a rotunda appeared in front of me, and there were six or seven forks scattered around the hall, grass, and maze! The sharp fangs of the boar behind me seemed to have poked my ass/thigh, and I couldn't do much about it, and I turned around and rushed to one of the passages.
The boar didn't seem to stop the car, and rushed straight into the middle passage, and the huge inertia caused it to rush forward for a few meters before retreating. And I, just run forward with all my might, ignoring what mechanism there will be, damn it, there is no mechanism behind this wild boar horror, thinking about its huge mouth biting me, I really want to cry.
This underground passage seems endless, but every few hundred meters or so there will be a circular hall, and there are several forks in the hall, and after a few random forks, the wild boar behind me will also be thrown away by me.
Stopped and bent over to hold his knees, panting sharply, the pain in his lungs was scorching, and every time he took a breath, he felt like a fire was burning, and his milk was ...... Grandma's finally escaped the wild boar.
After resting for a while, his breathing calmed down, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked one, and then carefully checked the situation around him.
The passage in front of me is composed of ice blocks, and what is surprising is that this ice block is natural, without any traces of axe chisels, as if it was poured by a huge and complex mold, and the ice block reveals a white halo inside, and it seems that there are countless legendary night pearls in the depths of the ice block.
Also, this lake is the size of a football field from the outside, but I don't know how many there are at the fork in the road I just passed, which makes no sense. Suddenly turned in his head, and thought of Kong Xuan's mustard seed box with fruits, could it be that this big ice cube is also a mustard seed space?
After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, throwing away the cigarette butts, and deciding to go back, the boar's IQ should not have thought of going back. According to my thinking, the forks in this passage are only in the forward direction, and if you go backwards, there will be no forks. For a very simple example, a fork in the shape of a 'Ya', if you go up from the road below, you will face the choice of the above two forks, but on the contrary, if you go down any of the above two roads, you will face only one road.
There are also special circumstances, such as this three-way intersection is completely tried, so it is normal to find no way back. But that's just a special case, I don't think I'm that bad.
Unfortunately, my point has such a back, when I walked to the rotunda, I couldn't help but scold, mother's comparison, this kind of fork is actually built into a 'm' shape, with the intersection as the center, very regular division of eight forks, if there are tools, I am sure, the angle between each fork is 45 degrees.
Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, he was irritated for a while, and smoked a cigarette to calm down a little. By the way, make a call and ask Kong Xuan where they are? took out his mobile phone and couldn't help but curse again, but there was no signal on the phone.
I wanted to smoke again, only to find that the cigarettes in the cigarette box were gone, and I reached into the space bag for a while/touched, and actually touched/found a large handful of bullets, and suddenly remembered, grass, there are still guns in Lao Tzu's space bag. Why didn't I think I still had a gun before, otherwise, I would have shot the wild boar in one shot, and whether this small-caliber gun could kill the big boar is not in my consideration.
I took out the gun and opened the safe, and with the gun, I became much more courageous, so I casually found a fork in the road and walked in.
As before, every few hundred meters there would be a 'm' shaped fork, and at first I tried to study the path, either straight ahead, or left turn, or zigzag, but when I got to the back, I found that the maze in front of me seemed to have no end, and two hours later, I was still wandering around this maze.
Looking at the time, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and a trace of worry suddenly flashed in my heart, this sleeping place has only appeared for three days, what will happen to this labyrinth in three days? If it suddenly turns into water, won't Lao Tzu be drowned? Even if I don't turn into water, I can't get out, so won't Lao Tzu be starved to death?
Uh, seems to be overthinking. The Sleeping Ground has only been around for three days, but I haven't even entered the Sleeping Place, and I haven't even seen the Sleeping Gate.
Mom, it's all that big wild boar, why do you keep chasing me, didn't I just eat some roast pig? The thought of roast pork made my stomach growl, and I walked all night, and it was no wonder that I was not hungry.
In the middle of a fork in the word 'm', I sat down and looked around dejectedly, knowing that I should put a little chocolate in the space bag, I don't know if this ice cube can be eaten, to be honest, this kind of ice cube in more than 20 degrees is the first time I have seen it.
Whatever, I shot at the opposite wall, poof, the sound of the gun was like a muffler, huh? I don't have a muffler on this gun? What's going on? Could it be that this labyrinth still has the function of silencing?
I couldn't suppress my curiosity, put my hand in front of my mouth and made a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly: "5-8-same-city!" ”
Sure enough, my voice was as faint as if it were coming out of the water.
What's going on?!
Shaking his head, don't think about the things you can't figure out for the time being, solving the problem of hunger in front of you is the most important. I got up and walked towards the place where I had just hit the pistol, and a large piece of ice had been crumbled, and I picked up one of them, looked left and right, and wondered if I wanted to take a bite.
After thinking about it, I finally decided not to eat this weird ice cube, the ice cube that doesn't melt in more than 20 degrees will not melt in my stomach, and it is very likely that eating it will pierce my stomach.
Throw the ice cube away and keep walking.
I don't know how many forks in the road I have walked, I feel very tired, not because I am physically exhausted, but because I am tired, this endless labyrinth seems to have no end.
Poof, it seemed to kick something, looking down, a sense of powerlessness instantly invaded my whole body, what I kicked was the ice block I had just knocked down, looking up, the big crumbling gap in the wall was like an open mouth, mocking me mercilessly.
After turning around for so long, I actually returned to the original place.
