Chapter 127: What's That?
Long Qi didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of his second master, glared at me aggrievedly, and said, "Then tell me how the word about the sacrifice came out."
I said, "What's so much about that?" In ancient times, those people always thought of using living people to worship when they encountered things, and after such people entered the cave and saw the boiling water, they could not understand the formation and operation mode of the boiling water, and of course it was easy to come up with the idea of throwing so-called sacrifices into the water. If the water level drops and the water temperature drops, those people will be able to pass through smoothly if they happen to encounter a spring that attracts water. If the timing is not right, it doesn't matter if you throw dozens or hundreds of people in, you will only be burned to death. The situation of the two surviving 'sacrifices' was even simpler, they were thrown in just before the water temperature rose, so the people who were thrown in as 'sacrifices' were fine, and after them, the people who went in when the water temperature rose died. ”
I finished my sentence in one sitting. Long Qi's expression was at a loss. I said sympathetically, "Know that you have a zero IQ." It's so hard for you. Li Ru smiled: "Xiao Zhong, it's not right to bully people like this." Didn't you think about what they'd do with you when we got into the hinterland and had no value to them? ”
Long Qi smiled slyly. I burst into tears: ah, oops, so carried away. I hurriedly shut up and reflected.
On the side, Ah Shan used cool warm water to help Long Qingyang rinse his arms. Long Qingyang was a man, so he didn't say a word, but his face was pale and sweaty. I can't tell which ones are hot and which ones are cold sweat because of pain.
At this moment, the tumbling underground river suddenly made a strange sound, and the yellow turbid river surged sharply, and then the water level dropped rapidly. In a few minutes, all the water was sucked into the spring. Without the tumbling water, the riverbed suddenly became quiet.
Li Ru jumped off the riverbed and said, "You can go now!" Later, when the river comes back, we will be fine even if we are flooded. ”
I jumped into the riverbed with Li Ru. Long Qingyang was a little hesitant and said, "After the river came back just now, it heated up again in two or three minutes. Is it too late? He paused for a moment and asked Li Ru, "How long will it take for the river to pour back from the spring?" ”
Li Ru had already started to walk forward and said, "I don't know. So you'd better hurry. ”
I hurried to follow. Long Qingyang gritted his teeth and jumped down. Long Qi and Ah Shan glanced at each other, and had no choice but to get off the riverbed.
Although the hot water had been drained, the riverbed was still hot, and puffs of heat rose up through the soles of the feet. I had the feeling of walking on an iron plate of teppanyaki. You can see how hot the river was before.
Fearing that the river would suddenly pour out, we all ran as hard as we could. When you are in a hurry, you will feel that time flies very slowly. I shouted, "Why haven't you seen the entrance after running for so long?" ”
Li Ru said: "It's also my first time here. I don't know where the entrance to the 'boiling water' is. ”
I had to comfort myself by saying, "The two men in the 'sacrifice' theory were thrown into the water at the last minute before the water temperature warmed up. They'll all survive, and we'll be fine if we come in so much early! ”
Li Ru ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water on me: "What they entered is not necessarily this Ten Thousand Demon Cave. "I burst into tears, brother, don't you know that people are difficult to dismantle? Am I not soothing myself? Of course, I know that they don't necessarily enter this Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
Wherever the two demons duel, there will be a "boiling water" left, but the entrance to the "boiling water" can be anywhere in the riverbed. Although the two men were thrown into the river at the last minute, it was not difficult for them to survive as long as they were near the entrance.
"Look! Look! Is the black rumbling in front of you a hole? I shouted with joy.
"Is there something up ahead?" "You're not dazzled, are you?" "I didn't see anything."
The sound of water gurgling behind him instantly drowned out these doubts.
"Fuck! The tide is rising! Come on! Long Qingyang shouted.
We didn't need to be reminded by him, we were already running as desperately as we could.
It turns out that the speed of man cannot compete with the gushing water. The turbid water of the river soon flooded our feet and necks, and then rose to our knees and thighs...... The water level quickly rose back to its original position in less than a minute. We had to "change from running to traveling". Although the river is warm at this time, we can clearly sense the rise in water temperature.
"Fuck! The water has risen and how do you find the entrance? "We don't feel anything when we soak in warm water, but Long Qingyang's rotten hand touching the water is not a joke.
I pointed in the direction I had said earlier and shouted, "Swim that way!" The entrance is there! ”
Long Qi said unconvinced: "I didn't see anything just now!" No one else saw the hole! I said, "If you don't believe me, go somewhere else." Good luck. ”
"Rub! It's hot! "The water temperature is rising faster than we expected. Li Ru and I quickly swam in the direction of the cave entrance. Long Qingyang and they had no other way but to bite the bullet and follow us with hope.
When we reached that position, we dived into the water one after another, and sure enough, we saw a circular hole about half a meter wide under the riverbed. We jumped in. The cave is pitch black, but fortunately, Long Qingyang and their equipment are well-equipped, and the miner's lamp is waterproof. But the miner's lamp is not very useful in the water, and we can only see the general situation in our vicinity.
After swimming for thirty or forty seconds, the water temperature was already so high that I felt a little spicy pain in my skin. Thankfully, we could see a bright light ahead of us. The exit is not far away!
I was excited, and instinctively looked back at Li Ru. But if you don't look back, it almost doesn't scare me to death.
I saw something on Li Ru's back. The range of the miner's lamp in the water was small, and I couldn't see what it was. It wasn't until Li Ruyou got close that I suddenly saw that there was also a head behind his head!
The extra "head" was round and bare, like a giant sarcoma. But this "sarcoma" has human facial features. It's just that the facial features on the "sarcoma" are very blurred, and it looks more like a clay figure pinched out by a very poor clay figure master.
The thing noticed that I was looking at it, and jerked its mouth out, revealing a mouthful of fangs stained with sticky saliva. "Rub!" I forgot I was in the water and blurted out. Swallow a large mouthful of hot water. Li Ru looked at me inexplicably, and Long Qingyang, who was following him closely, also saw his second head, and raised his hand to make a shuttle.
Wipe! Shoot in the water! I'm too confident in my marksmanship! I was about to protest when I suddenly felt a weight on my body and had been washed into the hole by the current.
