Chapter 85: Phantom in the Water
After a while, the symptoms of my leg cramps finally eased a lot, but if you paddle, there is still some pain, and there is a possibility of recurrence at any time, at this time, how I hope someone can come over to help me, but I looked up and looked, Huang Yixian and the cheap have long disappeared, it seems that they don't know what happened to me at all, it is estimated that they have swam into the hole, no way, can only rely on themselves, fortunately, there is still a rope to pull, I endured the pain in my legs, Grasp the rope with one hand and carefully continue to swim forward.
Because I was worried about the cramps in my legs again, I didn't dare to paddle too hard, so the speed was very slow, I was swimming, and suddenly I felt a cold current coming from behind me, and the water temperature seemed to drop a few degrees in an instant, I couldn't help but shiver, and before I could figure out what the situation was, I felt that my legs were hit hard by something, which startled me, and I hurriedly turned my head to take a look, and by the light of the waterproof miner's lamp, I saw a huge black shadow quickly disappearing into the slightly muddy pool water.
What is it!? It looked a bit like a big black fish, because the moment I turned my head, when the miner's lamp shone on it, it reflected a fine light, just like the effect of shining on the scales of a fish. It's just that in such a small pool, how can there be such a big fish? If not fish, what would it be......
Could it be a water monster!? As soon as I thought of the unknown monster that had attacked hundreds of catties of heavy buffalo, my heart couldn't help beating wildly, and I didn't care that my feet were still cramping, so I quickly pulled the rope with both hands, and with the help of the liliang in my hand, I accelerated the speed of progress.
After a while, a dazzling light appeared in front of me, I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reacted, presumably Huang Yixian and they found that I didn't keep up, so they turned around to answer me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking I was safe, but I felt a cold snap behind me.
What's the situation!? Could it be that the water monster has turned back again!? My mind went blank for a moment, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
At this moment, I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and a red light passed by me, I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, it was a signal flare! It seems that it was Seabeard who came to meet me!
I subconsciously turned my head to look, and it seemed that something had been hit by a flare, and I was struggling to make the water cloudy, and I couldn't see what it was hit.
Perhaps out of extreme fear, I completely forgot that my left calf was still cramping, and I didn't even feel the pain anymore, and I had only one thought in my head: "Get out of here!" I swam forward, and Seabeard quickly swam to pick me up.
Gradually, a light appeared ahead, and needless to say, there must have been other people waiting on the shore.
As soon as my head came out of the water, several large pairs of hands reached out and dragged me ashore along with Seabeard and my backpack.
Finally out of danger, as soon as I went ashore, I didn't say a word, I sat down on the ground with a buttocks, and breathed a long sigh of relief, who knew that the spirit relaxed a little, but immediately felt a sharp pain in the left leg, the symptoms of calf cramps have eased some, but not fully recovered, after just such a toss, now it is pumped again. I hurriedly grabbed my left calf with both hands and kneaded it vigorously.
After a little calming up, I looked up and looked around. It was a cave about four meters wide, and in front of us was a circular pool about three meters in diameter, from which I had just drilled, and the other three sides of the pool were surrounded by uneven stone walls, and behind us, there was a deep cave that meandered inward and had no end in sight.
Huang Yixian didn't know what was happening in the water, and asked, "You stinky boy, why are you waiting down there for so long?" ”
I gasped and replied in shock, "Water...... There's something in the water! ”
Wen Qingshan, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something?" What do you mean? Did you see a water monster? ”
"Look...... I saw a dark shadow and hit my foot. ”
Huang Yixian listened, and then saw that I had been rubbing my calf, thinking that I was injured, and immediately walked over: "Is your leg injured?" As he spoke, he crouched down beside me, reaching out to check my calves.
When people have cramps, they are most afraid that others will touch them, which will not only not help, but may further increase the pain, at least I think so, so I hurriedly raised my hand to block him and said, "Uncle Shi, I am not injured, but my calf is cramping." ”
"Stinky boy, scare me!" Huang Yixian breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Qingshan was more concerned about what I encountered underwater, and he asked again, "Can you see what that thing looks like just now?" ”
I shook my head and said, "It's too dark to see clearly, a bit like a huge fish." By the way, Brother Hai also shot at that thing just now. ”
Wen Qingshan immediately turned his head and asked the seabeard lying on the side: "Brother Hai, can you see it clearly?" ”
Seabeard sat up slowly, took a deep breath, and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but when I shot it with a flare gun and was writhing in the water, it felt like a snake." ”
"What! A snake!? ”
"Nope! No! To be precise, it should be said that it is a giant python, because judging from its size, it is estimated to have a fight with the giant anaconda in Myanmar! ”
After listening to what Seabeard said, everyone looked at each other, and they were speechless in shock for a while.
If it was really a huge python, it would explain the attack on the big buffalo more than ten years ago. But the question is, how can such a huge python appear in this area?
Everyone was in a daze, and suddenly several huge blisters emerged from the water, startling everyone and retreating one after another.
After a while, the water surface was calm again, but everyone did not dare to act rashly, and stared at the water one by one, for fear that something would suddenly rush out of the water.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed scumbag seemed to have discovered something, pointed his hand into the water, and said softly, "Look at what it is?" ”
Looking in the direction he was pointing, he saw a black mass floating on the water, which seemed to be covered with silt and aquatic weeds, but he couldn't see what it was.
The thing slowly drifted to the shore with the waves, Wen Qingshan stared at the thing for a while, and said in a low voice, "I'll go pick up that thing, you wait." ”
When Huang Yixian heard this, he immediately stopped: "Boss Wen must not be careless, maybe that thing is waiting in the water!" ”
Wen Qingshan just smiled and said, "It's okay!" I'll be back soon! With that, he opened his backpack, took out a plastic bag from it, and walked slowly towards the pool.
He cautiously approached the pool and quickly scooped the plastic bag into the water, and in an instant he scooped the black thing into the plastic bag. Then he quickly turned around and rushed back quickly.
"What the hell is it?" Everyone was very curious and came over one after another.
Wen Qingshan opened the plastic bag, and immediately smelled an unpleasant fishy smell, and everyone hurriedly covered their noses.
Wen Qingshan took out a Swiss army knife and scraped off the silt and aquatic weeds on the thing, and everyone saw clearly that it was actually a hiking boot!
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "It seems that besides Bai Xiaowu, there are other people who have been here, but I'm afraid this person has already been buried underwater." ”
"I didn't hear Second Master Qi say that someone in the village is missing!" Huang Yixian said in wonder.
Wen Qingshan said: "It shouldn't be the villagers in the village, this is a fully imported camel brand hiking shoes, the price is expensive, I don't think the people in the mountains are willing to wear this." ”
"You mean to say that outsiders have been here? Is it also for the Dashun treasure!? ”
"Not necessarily, maybe it's just some hapless traveler!" Wen Qingshan said, threw his shoes back into the pool, took out a tissue and wiped his hands, and said, "Regardless of it, everyone should hurry up and change their clothes, let's go to the cave to have a look!" ”
Everyone took off their already soaked wetsuits and took out their caving suits from their backpacks to change into them.
Under the leadership of Wen Qingshan and Haibeard, the group walked inward along the bottomless cave passage.
Compared with the Hukou Rock, the ** rock is much wetter, from time to time there are water droplets dripping down from the top of the cave, and the ground is also full of puddles of different depths, carelessly, one foot into the puddle, splashing a splash. So, we're moving very slowly.
As I was walking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow rapidly rushing from under the cave wall on the right side of my eye, startling me, and I quickly stopped, stared there again, but saw nothing.
The who was walking side by side with me saw me suddenly stop, turned his head and asked me, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
I said, "I just saw a dark shadow." ”
Wen Qingshan, who was walking in front, heard this and immediately asked, "Black shadow, where is it?" ”
I pointed to the cave wall where I had just caught a glimpse of the black shadow, and Wen Qingshan looked in the direction I was pointing, naturally he didn't see anything.
I hurriedly said, "Maybe I'm dazzled." ”
However, Wen Qingshan was not reconciled, he slowly walked towards the cave wall, and squatted down to examine it carefully.
He touched the cave wall with his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, as if he sensed that something was wrong, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was a little dignified, Huang Yixian couldn't help asking, "Boss Wen, what's wrong?" ”
Wen Qingshan raised his head and replied, "The walls of this cave are a little sticky, I'm afraid that something did pass by here just now." ”
