44. Underground desolate caves

The corpse chaser looked at Uncle Liao in surprise and said, "Could it be that I really got animal venom?" What did you just say that thing was called? ”

"Golden needle female kui, this fish is born in the dark river, its eyes are beadless, and its whole body is transparent, and it is difficult to see clearly in the turbid groundwater."

"Oh, I see." The corpse chaser nodded again and again, "Thank you, brother." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, the poison in you has not been completely cleared, if you want to completely cure it, you have to get the golden needle, otherwise you will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and sooner or later you will do it again."

"Then I have to go to the underground river? Is it possible to catch this kind of fish net? ”

"In this way, for the sake of Lord Rakshasa, I will go down for you to find a golden needle female kui, which can be regarded as a reward for your efforts in repairing this inn."

"So how do I do that? Big brother, thank you for your hard work. The corpse chaser said innocently.

Uncle Liao nodded and said, "Skewers help remove the statue." "Last time we pushed open the cave on the left, this time it's on the right.

"You wait a moment, we'll come up when we find the golden needle." After that, Uncle Liao motioned to Rocky to guard the entrance of the cave, tied a climbing rope to the nearby tree pole, and the two of them slid into the cave one after the other.

The cave is not deep, about six or seven meters high, the cave is cold and windy, there is a faint fishy smell, and unexpectedly the completely earthy cave looks very dry.

Light up the flashlight and shine around, only to see that the soil layer in the cave is covered with dense small holes, all of which are the holes made by rats, thinking of the group of cruel and cunning rats, I have a burst of numbness and said: "Uncle Liao, what should we do with the little rats?" ”

"Rocky is a master at controlling snakes, and the little mouse was expelled last night, and now there is only one rat demon in this underground cave."

In front of us was a circular earth hole about half a meter long, and it was amazing that a concrete hollow pipe was stuffed into the hole.

In addition to some dirty black water in the cement pipe, there are also many mouse bones, broken light bulbs, flashlights and other tools used by humans.

Uncle Liao said: "Someone has already entered it, this place is not a secret." ”

After that, I changed into a one-piece waterproof suit, put on a protective mask that filtered the air, and crawled down the cement pipe.

"Uncle Liao, this cement pipe is very similar to a pipe for burying cables?"

"You're right, I once heard the old man in the village say that in the late eighties of the last century, an engineering team found mineral deposits in the mountains, and wanted to lay cables to dig up the mountain to dig mineral deposits, but I don't know why the construction team retreated shortly after the project began, and the wires were all retrieved, but the cement pipes were directly buried, and I guess it may be related to the catacombs of the corpse inn."

"I've never heard of that."

"It's normal, for the people in the village, they already know that strange things happen frequently in the corpse inn, and one more strange thing is not a big deal, but I came down yesterday and found that there is no ancient tomb here, just an abandoned air-raid shelter."

"You said before that Qinglong Mountain is not where the Ji Cave is, and there is no tomb."

"Yes, what other place could be more secluded than an abandoned bomb shelter, suitable for cultivating demon methods? This rat has found a good place. He stopped his progress and threw down the rope he had brought, and at the bottom of the concrete pipe was smashed into an irregular hole that connected to another hole.

Uncle Liao said: "Below this hole is the air-raid shelter, the rat spirit is in the air-raid shelter nine times out of ten, you must be careful when you go in, although its mana has not yet recovered, but the attack power of the big rat cannot be underestimated, no matter what, safety first." ”

The flashlight we used was a wolf's eye flashlight with electric shock, which was probably used to deal with the big mouse, Uncle Liao gave me a pig-killing knife and said: "Although it has green scale armor, it is only on the sides of the body and back, and the belly is full of flesh, so I will stab it in the belly if I have the opportunity." ”

I heard my scalp tingling, because to be able to prick a mouse in the belly means that I must have been pounced by it, and how disgusting it must be to have such a huge mouse lying on its stomach.

After Uncle Liao landed, he whispered, "You can come down." ”

The semicircular air-raid shelter structure is almost the same as the underground tunnel of Qingtian Temple, only larger, we are at the end of one end of the air-raid shelter, we can see the large iron gate with rusty stains in earth gray is sealed, this air-raid shelter can not be known when it was built, but the quality is not flattering, the internal wall is more seepage, the water in the hole is almost submerged to the calf position, the dirty underground water does not know how many rats and human bones are buried, and it is very resting to step on it.

The flashlight illuminated the dark air-raid shelter, and this narrow and dark underground world was not very long, only about seventeen or eighteen meters long from beginning to end, with an iron gate sealed at both ends, and a rammed earth wall on the other.

I didn't see the rat demon in this sealed area, and it seemed that there were only two living creatures in the waterlogged bomb shelter, Uncle Liao and me.

Uncle Liao poked me in the elbow, and then moved the flashlight to the roof of the cave, only to see that the cement layer on the top of the air-raid shelter was embedded in the square hole of the electric lamp, several metal copper wires were exposed, and a thick and long rat tail was like a snake quietly drilling into the square hole.

Judging from the length and thickness of the tail, the rat is at least as large as a calf, and it has not left its nest, feeling that someone has entered the loss of the rat and chooses to dodge rather than fight head-on.

Uncle Liao didn't deliberately lower his voice and said: "This mouse is hiding in the gap where the wire is buried on the top of the cave, if you want to catch it, you have to ......" Before the words fell, a piercing scream suddenly came from the gap that the mouse drilled into.

This sound is made by the rat demon, could it be that it was hung by a cable to the chrysanthemum? I was thinking about it when I heard a "knock, knock......" sound from the top of the bomb shelter, which resembled the footsteps of a human walking, and the exposed copper wires vibrated rhythmically.

Liao Shuqi said: "Could it be that there are still lives in this space that we don't know?" Before the words fell, he only heard a sound of friction metal from the winch turning, and Uncle Liao's face changed greatly, and he pointed to the place where the rope was hanging and said, "Run." ”

I ran to the bottom of the cave with dirty water twice, and was about to climb up along the rope, only to hear a loud bang, the top layer of cement pouring suddenly collapsed after a long time of flooding, the dome section of the bucket arch fell into the water hole, splashing a huge splash, God knows how dirty the water is, we can only cover the face with our hands, and once the top layer is broken, it will produce a chain effect, a section of cement blocks fall down in turn, we have no time to climb up along the rope, so we have no choice but to retreat into the hole, and there is no way to retreat back against the iron gate, Seeing the huge cement block approaching, I struggled to death, and subconsciously retreated.

In the panic, I didn't know what I touched, but I felt that the iron door shook, and it was actually pushed open a crack.

The iron door that seems to be completely welded can actually be pushed open, Uncle Liao and I pushed the iron door open a half-person-wide gap together, after the dirty water suddenly poured into the iron door, we also drilled over, and then there was a huge noise, and the cement block and the cement pipe fell on the place where we were standing just now, if it was slow down for half a beat, Uncle Liao and I were two meatloaf.

I didn't have time to look at the cave behind the iron gate, and I looked through the gap in the iron door to see a giant mouse as big as a bear lying on the cement stone in the cave, with its tail standing up high, and a giant python about five meters long and thigh-thick was wrapped around its neck, but at this time, the python's head had been blurred by the flesh and blood of the rat demon's bite.

It was the two giants who fought fiercely on the roof of the cave, crushing the rotten concrete roof, and the rat demon also saw us, baring its teeth and letting out a sharp howl, as if it was about to attack, but a huge handful of loess fell from above without warning, burying the rat demon in it.

But the strength of the rat demon was extremely strong, and it broke free from half of its body in an instant, and its head shook vigorously, just like a turtle trying its best to break free from its shell, but the loess at the height fell one after another, and soon it was piled up several meters high, firmly pressing the rat underneath.

Uncle Liao said to me with a panicked face: "Hurry up and close the iron gate, the landslide has happened." Before the words fell, a violent shaking came from the ground, we couldn't even stand on our feet, lost the support of the cement layer, the loess in the cave fell one after another, and we tried to pull down the iron door and the thickness of the thumb when we were blocked by the sand and gravel, unable to close.

Looking at the soil pouring in from the cracks, I asked Uncle Liao in fear, "Are we going to be buried alive?" ”
