Chapter 45: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
The deepest part of the cave is a filthy, hot area, where the air makes people breathe in and their lungs burn, burning and painful.
The surface of the earth's crust shows obvious cracks, like pieces of dry cracked old skin, where the cracks are deeper, from time to time a trace of crimson streamer appears, and the viscous and hot liquid seeps out from under the ground, and then quietly disappears in the sound of shock.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound is like the beating of bells and drums, echoing in the cave from time to time, and each blow causes the ground to shake, causing crimson in the depths of the rift to rush out from under the surface.
A bubble in the crimson liquid vibrated and rose, forming a small circle of ripples on the surface of the liquid, and then dissipating.
Suddenly, a giant foot appeared, trampling on the cracked ground, the soles of the feet carrying a viscous liquid, and striding forward.
The liquid spilled onto the thirsty ground as the giant foot moved forward, and with a "bang", a puff of sulfur-smelling smoke rose from the ground.
The smoke accompanied by the "dong dong" step of the giant big foot instantly swept the entire karst cave, rendering the place a foggy place.
"Ahem...... Help! anyone?......"
In the smoke, there was a constant coughing and desperate shouting, and the sound was followed through the miasma to an open area.
The environment here is even worse than in the cave, and the cracks on the surface are even more serious, especially in the center of the open field, for some reason a deep trench like a trench has been cracked, and on the rock wall in the deep ditch, a child struggles to climb up.
The sand on the pit wall was dry without a trace of water, and the child fell with the rolling clods, and the dry soil fell on the belly pocket of his chest, and then rolled and slid to the periphery, and the belly pocket did not stain a trace of soot.
"Help...... Anyone?...... Ahem"
The shouting was hoarse with thirst, Shui Lingzi lay on the ground and kept coughing, his lips were already thirsty and peeled, and they rolled up on his lips piece by piece.
"Rest, I've been shouting for a long time and no one is there, save your energy, and I'll shout later" Yue Yao sat in the dark corner of the deep pit and said very tiredly.
Shui Lingzi swallowed a mouthful of spit, glanced back at Yueyao, the arm supporting the body hung down weakly, and the raised head fell on the dry and bouncing soil, bounced slightly, and the whole person collapsed weakly.
......
"You, did you say we would die here?" Yue Yao asked weakly with a hint of trepidation in her voice.
"No, it won't be, I'll get you out, trust me" Shui Lingzi lay on the ground gasping for breath, looked up at the top of the pit, and shouted in a firm tone.
Yue Yao listened, looking at Shui Lingzi's gaze, it seemed to be a little more gentle.
Suddenly, she lowered her head and glanced at her side, Zi Yan, who was in a coma, seemed to move, and after a while, Zi Yan's eyes slowly opened.
"Sister, sister, you finally woke up, you scared me to death" Yue Yao looked at Zi Yan and shouted excitedly with tears.
Zi Yan, who was slightly sober, sat up slowly, for some reason her body always felt a little uncomfortable, took a deep breath, coughed rapidly, quickly covered her nose with her hand, looked around, and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, where is this? Why are we here." ”
Yue Yao shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know where this is, but I can tell you how we came here, you see" After speaking, she raised her hand and pointed directly to the top of her head, and she couldn't see anything in the dim light, only a piece of gray girl.
Zi Yan followed the direction pointed by Yue Yao, looked up for a moment, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it, it's alive." ”
On the dimly lit roof of the cave, an object that could not be seen at all was wriggling, like layers of waves rippling overhead.
Yue Yao nodded and said, "Yes, it's alive, it's what brought us here, sister, take a closer look" After speaking, she still raised her hand to the top of the cave, but this time the position was slightly offset.
Zi Yan followed the direction pointed by Yue Yao again, stared at it for a while, and suddenly seemed to have found something, her face turned pale with fright, her pupils dilated instantly, and she exclaimed: "He, why is he, what is he doing there?"
"When I woke up, I found that this was the case, the big villain named Yun Sheng was entangled with this unknown monster, and he had been hanging for most of the day, and he didn't know what they were doing. ”
"Sister, leave him alone for the time being, tell me, what happened after I fainted, how could I be captured here for no reason" Zi Yan glanced at the top of her head, no longer paying attention to everything that happened above her head, and asked Yue Yao about the past.
Shui Lingzi looked at Zi Yan's gaze very hesitantly, not knowing how to face it, he wanted to go over but didn't dare to step forward, and lowered his head hesitantly.
Yue Yao saw this scene unintentionally, her eyes dimmed a little, her brows wrinkled slightly, and then she let go of it, and then let go of everything that happened, but the scene where Shui Lingzi let go of her hand was hidden intentionally or unintentionally.
After listening to the narration, Zi Yan thanked Shui Lingzi, Shui Lingzi nodded with a red face, and then quickly shook her head, which saw that Zi Yan was full of fog, and glanced at Yue Yao suspiciously.
"He, he's probably burned, he's born with water, and it's so hot here, so ...... Shui Lingzi, you have something to say!" Yue Yao covered up incoherently, raised her head and glared at Shui Lingzi fiercely, winking.
Shui Lingzi saw Yueyao's eyes, and replied in a panic: "Yes, I'm burned, it's too hot here, I... I ......"
Zi Yan glanced at Shui Lingzi, then glanced at Yue Yao again, and said with a light smile: "Okay, I understand, you guys!"
"Sister, what do you know, what's wrong with us?" Yue Yao asked Zi Yan nervously.
Zi Yan smiled, covered her mouth with her hand and chewed her ear softly to Yueyao, and vaguely listened: "Tell my sister when you have determined the relationship, and you have learned to cover each other......"
The voice was too soft, and the words behind it were hard to hear.
When Yue Yao heard this, she was startled in surprise, and hurriedly said, "How does my sister know and when will I see it." ”
Shui Lingzi, who was not far away, heard this sentence and his heart jumped wildly, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, his eyes were horizontal, and he just wanted to admit it.
"Then do you need to talk about it? Isn't it all obvious? Before he could open his mouth, you helped him explain, making him more nervous than him, and I, who is a sister, am not blind, can't I see this?"
Yueyao jumped to her throat, returned to her original position, and slowly lowered her head.
Shui Lingzi swallowed the words stuck in his throat and buried his head deeply.
Zi Yan looked at the two of them and lowered their heads at the same time, thinking that what they said was too explicit, so the two of them were embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's think more about how to get out, this is really not a place for people." ”
Yue Yao and Shui Lingzi raised their heads at the same time, nodded at the same time after eye contact, and Yue Yao spoke: "Sister, we originally thought of a way, but ......"
"What's the way?" Zi Yan directly interrupted Yue Yao's words and couldn't wait to ask.
"Take the ladder," Yue Yao and Shui Lingzi shouted in unison.
"This trench is not deep, I will carry you, you go up first" Shui Lingzi couldn't wait to shout, and swallowed another mouthful of spit thirsty.
Zi Yan smiled and shook her head with a light smile, "You are too small to support the weight of the two of us, so I will come, Yueyao, you go first, Shui Lingzi, you will go later, so it's decided." ”
After speaking, he squatted down along the rock wall and motioned for Yueyao to stand up.
Yue Yao looked at Shui Lingzi hesitantly, Shui Lingzi also looked at Yue Yao, and Zi Yan, who was squatting on the ground, turned her head and said, "Don't mother-in-law, it's important to leave first." ”
Yue Yao glared at Shui Lingzi vigorously, and no longer hesitated to quickly climb onto Zi Yan's shoulder, Shui Lingzi slowly lowered her head and quickly lifted it, knowing that she couldn't delay, and climbed up the ladder.
"Okay, I'll stand up first, then Yueyao" As soon as the words were finished, Zi Yan grabbed Yueyao's trouser legs with both hands, and stood slowly with difficulty, trembling all over.
Yue Yao squatted obediently, and waited until Zi Yan stood up slowly, and then dragged Shui Lingzi up and climbed up.
A head slowly rose from the edge of the trench, the head had just been exposed, both hands hurriedly grabbed the crack in the ground, climbed up with difficulty, and then climbed up and quickly turned around, half of his body leaned down to pull up Yueyao.
The clods of soil under him were pressed and slid down, and Zi Yan and Yue Yao were fascinated by the dust raised, and the ladder showed signs of collapse in the swing.
Shui Lingzi didn't care about these at all, his body leaned down, and the dry and cracked sand collapsed even more seriously, Yue Yao held her head to avoid the sand that came down, and shouted: "Don't bother anymore, hurry up and find someone to help us up." ”
Shui Lingzi was shocked when he heard this, and he leaned down again, trying to grab Yue Yao's hand, but he could touch Yue Yao's fingers, and the moment the fingers touched each other, a large piece of dry soil could not bear the weight and collapsed.
Collapsed in more than one place, the human ladder below also fell, and Shui Lingzi also sank with his body, and with the sand rushing into the trench, the dry sand collapsed completely, and the large pieces of sand buried everyone.
Suddenly, a soul pressure surging for no reason, and the entire area shook in an instant, and the dry ground collapsed in the shaking, and the whole area was dusty, and large pieces of sand and stones were cracked.
At the top of the cave, the giant creature stopped wriggling endlessly, and its body contracted sharply in the crazy shaking, and the light at the upper end of the cave that was blocked by its body instantly spilled into the entire space, and the space instantly lit up under the illumination of the light.
Under the dazzling light, I vaguely saw a behemoth, covered with viscous liquid, constantly shrinking towards the center.
Suddenly, the center lit up, and a platinum-gold flame appeared, directing the temperature around it to its peak, and the air twisted in the incineration, making the originally burning flames no longer seem so real, like a demon queen dancing wildly in a terrifying demon cave.
Under the bewitching flames, the slime covering the boy's body slowly receded, and the boy opened his eyes, a trace of unbelievable streamer crossed his eyes, looking at the world that seemed to be about to collapse, and opened his mouth to sing loudly.
"Take the soul as the guide, and you are in harmony, the heaven and the earth are yellow, the sea is immortal, never abandoned, and the old age is accompanied, - the spirit of the contract"
