Chapter 27: The Cocoon
The water below was very gentle, and we could only see two white things, but we couldn't say what they were. The one-eyed dragon seemed to look farther because of its position, and as if he had discovered something, the only eye widened, and then began to climb the chain and continue to move forward.
He couldn't speak because he had a flashlight in his mouth, and we couldn't ask him, but as the cyclops moved, the position of the light changed, and then a third floater appeared.
What is this floating in the water?
I now have a strong desire to have a powerful searchlight so that I can see the surroundings more clearly, but unfortunately it is a heavy thing, so when the bald people in the hat broke up before, we didn't bring these heavier equipment, and now it's too late to regret it.
At this moment, the one-eyed dragon suddenly couldn't help but curse, so the flashlight in his mouth immediately fell, and the light in between, fell violently, and because of its small size, it only made a very small pop sound, and fell into the water. Then, the area where the one-eyed dragon was located went dark.
Our flashlight has a limited range, so the one-eyed dragon disappears from the sight of the three of us.
I can't help but wonder, what did he see just now that made him so out of shape? Hari Chagai frowned and said loudly: "Lao Zhang, what's wrong?" "He's been in my shop for a while, and he's familiar with the one-eyed dragon.
Who knows, after Hari Chagai asked, the one-eyed dragon did not answer, there was silence in all directions, and before I could react, there was a muffled sound in the darkness, followed by a pop, obviously something fell into the water. It was loud, obviously it couldn't have been a flashlight or something, and I immediately realized that the cyclops had probably fallen into the water.
Damn, what's going on with the prime?
I knew something was strange and immediately took the gun in my hand, and at the same time I heard a clear sound of water in my ears, as if something was fluttering in the water. This fluttering sound was accompanied by the staccato voice of the one-eyed dragon: "I cāo...... There is ...... in the water Ah......h
Depend on!
I couldn't help myself, shoved the flashlight into my mouth, straddled the gun over my shoulder, and immediately followed the path that the cyclops had taken before. The iron chain is Wusensen, and there seems to be something smeared on the surface, and there are no traces of rust so far, and the tentacles are cold. There is a basic mesh structure between the iron cables, and the iron chain is relatively straight, so the shaking amplitude when stepping on it is not very large. I grabbed the chain with both hands and landed at the junction of the chain's mesh-like structure, which was not slow, although it was not a rope.
When I got to where the one-eyed dragon was, I realized why he had lost his temper just now.
At this distance, it was about fifteen meters away from the two lazy people standing at the edge of the passage, and from this position, the lazy people's eyes were also staying on me. And when you turn your eyes to the left, that is, the water on the left, you can see more floating objects.
If we can't see the specific appearance of the floating objects at the mouth of the passage, then when we get to this position, the floating objects become clear under the light.
At the moment, my light happened to hit one of the floats. It is oval, about one meter four or five in length, about 90 centimeters in width, the appearance is like a large cocoon, and the cocoon also presents a silky translucent texture under the light.
Through this thin layer of 'cocoon', I can see that there is a black shadow in the cocoon, it is a human-shaped black shadow, it is only about the size of a child about ten years old, its body is tightly attached to the cocoon, and the most terrifying thing is that the black shadow in it is still moving. As if disturbed by my light, the face of the black shadow pressed against the cocoon. The hand struggled to get out, and I was very suspicious that the contents would pierce the white cocoon the next moment.
What's inside?
Corpse?
How can a corpse move?
Could it be the corpse that blew up the corpse?
Could it be that these cocoons are filled with corpses?
Under the ancient city of Silkworm Swallowing, there is an underground world inexplicably, and in this underground world, there are actually these strange human cocoons?
I was a little confused, and I couldn't figure out what was going on with these cocoons, and the top priority, or the safety of the one-eyed dragon, was the most important. I took my eyes off the cocoons and immediately searched the water for the Cyclops.
Unfortunately, apart from those floating cocoons, where is the shadow of the one-eyed dragon?
Where did he go?
The one-eyed dragon is not bad, I don't believe that he just stepped on the air and fell into the water, he must have been attacked by something. But I'm in mid-air now, I can't reach the sky, I can't touch the ground, what can sneak attack from this position?
I couldn't help but look at the cocoons and turn on the lights one by one. Then I immediately realized that the cocoons were not the same size at all, and that they were almost all black shadows in human form, except that most of them did not move, curled up silently.
I can't help but wonder if this could be some kind of peculiar burial custom in the ancient Shu Kingdom. For example, if you put people up with something and let them float on the water, as for the black shadow moving in the cocoon, maybe I can think of it as a dumpling with a corpse blown up?
At this time, Harichagai at the entrance of the passage was already eager to ask me what was going on, but I didn't have time to answer him now.
At this moment, my flashlight shone on one of the large cocoons, and then I realized that one side of the cocoon had a large hole. At this moment, the water was pouring into the hole, so the cocoon was about to sink.
I immediately realized something creepy.
This cocoon was broken not long ago, otherwise it wouldn't have started to flood now.
An image automatically appeared in my mind, that is, the picture of the one-eyed dragon having an accident. He first saw a lot of floating white cocoons, and then the black shadows in the cocoons rushed out, so he cursed and made the flashlight fall from his mouth.
In the darkness, he immediately became vigilant, and therefore did not answer the question of Hari Chagai at that time.
At the same moment, the thing that came out of the cocoon attacked him, causing him to fall into the water.
The one-eyed dragon understands water, so he can't just flutter in the water, the only possibility is that he was dragged by something at the time, so the water nature can't be used, and it will form the fluttering sound of ordinary people drowning.
And if nothing else, the one-eyed dragon was probably taken by what came out of the cocoon.
How is he doing now? This question flashed through my mind.
Is he dead or alive? Is it a rice dumpling or something else in the cocoon? Did the one-eyed dragon be killed and sink to the bottom?
Just as I was thinking about this question, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the big cocoon I had seen for the first time, and at the same time, a long black slender hand was saved from the big cocoon.
That hand, which reminds me of 01's tentacles, is surprisingly similar.
Could it be that this is how 01 came about?
Of course, this thought was only in my mind for a moment, and it was not the first time I had encountered such a strange situation. So, the moment I saw this hand come out, my first reaction was to load it and shoot at the big cocoon.
This is a small charge, originally followed by Team Liu, there is no such equipment, these powerful things are all brought by lazy goods and Hari Chagai. This shot was a burst of strafing, and in an instant, the big cocoon was torn apart by me, and the body of the thing that had not yet crawled out of the cocoon also froze. Since it wasn't far away, I could clearly see that it had been hit by a bullet.
I'm not sure if it's the same thing as 01, and if it is, then bullets won't be useful against it.
Thankfully, under my onslaught, the thing sank to the bottom of the water, and only two blisters emerged.
After a series of gunshots, the water was calm again, and my mouth was numb. And Hari Chagai and the others couldn't wait for my reply at the entrance of the cave, and the lazy people simply put on the chains. In the interval between my shooting, he had already come to my side and could see everything clearly.
With the insight of a lazy man, he clearly understood the situation in front of him.
There was a deathly silence around, and after a while, Hari Chagai's scolding sounded: "Tiger fell Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, what happened, you two made a sound." "This red-haired man is smiling on weekdays, looking like the sky doesn't matter when the sky falls, relying on his own skills, he has always been unscrupulous. This time, I got the way of 01, and now I am weak, and I am sitting on the ground sickly, and in desperation, the smiling mask has also taken off, and my mouth is greeting me and the ancestor of the lazy thing.
However, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to him now, staring at the dark water, I said, "Zhang Sheng is gone." ”
The lazy man was propped up on the chain with one hand and a black scimitar in the other, and asked me, "Well, maybe you're dead." He pointed out the greatest possibility so calmly that I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and my hand holding the gun trembled a little. It's not that I'm afraid, I've killed people, cut zongzi, dug graves, and seen ghosts, so there's nothing to be afraid of, but as long as I think that something might happen to the one-eyed dragon, I feel angry in my heart. I can't say what it was, but it made it hard for me to breathe.
Damn, is there another person who is going to be killed by me?
I thought that this time I was just looking for the eye of the sky, and there wouldn't be too much danger.
Is it true that anyone close to me who is close to me will end up unlucky?
At first, it was Xiao Jing, she was turned into a messenger by Lin Fatzi, and then Tofu, he met the corpse fairy, and almost all of the people around me, who were close to me, slowly fell into a strange circle, a dangerous strange circle.
Damn it.
Damn it......
This damn scam!
This damn curse!
How the hell did it come about?
