Chapter 27: Mount Milotha
Before the rain stopped, the little brother rowed to the middle of the lake.
The original floating marker was swept away by the tumbling water of the lake as early as last night when there was a thunderstorm.
The little brother put on his gear, leaned back into the water, and quickly swam deeper to the bottom of the lake.
He didn't go to the crack in the shaft at the bottom of the lake that the two of them found yesterday, but went directly into the Yao Village under the water.
The little brother was inexplicably familiar with this place, and he walked through countless wooden buildings on stilts to a tower in the center of the village.
The Han-style tower has three floors, and the little brother directly enters through the broken window on the top floor, and swims to the back hall of the lower floor, and under the light of the diving flashlight, there are many shadows behind the screen.
The little brother went directly around the screen and saw more than a dozen iron figurines fixed behind him, and the right hands of these iron figurines were all artificially destroyed.
The little brother stopped and stared at these iron figurines, a little distracted.
At this moment, a door behind the iron figurines suddenly opened, and the little brother seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly bypassed these iron figurines and entered the door.
Behind the door is a modest staircase that leads to an underground stone chamber with many iron figurines fixed to the shelves like the ones seen above.
Strangely, however, the right hand of these figurines was also destroyed.
The little brother twisted his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, and his expression looked a little painful.
There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and the little brother subconsciously turned around to look, and a black shadow flashed at the entrance of the stairs.
didn't care much, the little brother raised his feet and chased after him.
The black shadow was fast, and it shook a few times in the middle of the iron figurines, and the man was gone.
The fluctuation of the water around him seemed to be a little strange, and the little brother realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran out of the tower.
It's a pity that it's too late, a powerful suction force hits from behind, and the water rolls like a tornado, directly rolling the little brother in.
The little brother wanted to grab those iron figurines to fix his body with force, and the surface of the clinker was coated with a special material, which was very smooth.
One of his men slipped, and the whirlpool directly took the little brother and the floating objects in the surrounding current, and walked through the staircase passage together, and fell into the patio behind the iron figurines.
īšīšīš
In the tent, as soon as Zhang Qixun opened his eyes, he faced a big rough face full of wrinkles, his pupils were constricted, and his body reacted before his brain, and he kicked out.
Agui was originally squatting well, but he was caught off guard and took a kick, and sat down on the ground, his face full of confusion.
Zhang Qixun reacted at this time, hurriedly got out of the sleeping bag and helped Agui up, and apologized again and again.
"It's okay, it's okay." Agui waved his hand, "Boss Yu is better, I boiled some medicine to dispel cold and dampness, and when it is warm, drink a bowl, and then sleep with a blanket, sweat out, and the cold will naturally be cured."
Zhang Qixun was a little dazed, "Cold?"
Who has a cold? He didn't have a cold, but he didn't know why his head hurt a little.
Ah Gui sighed, "What the cold-faced boss said, I came here this morning and saw that your face was burned with blood, and I kept wiping your face with a cold towel, and the redness faded."
"What did the little brother say?" Zhang Qixun frowned, saw the black gold ancient knife placed next to the sleeping bag, and walked over to pick it up, "What about the others?"
Agui stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of the tent, "I went into the water, and he went down before the rain stopped this morning."
When Zhang Qixun heard this, he was immediately anxious, and he was about to rush out when he raised his feet.
Ah Gui hurriedly grabbed him, "This is not good, you are just sick, and when you go out to get rainy, you have a fever again."
Zhang Qixun was very anxious, and hurriedly asked Ah Gui, "What time is it?"
Ah Gui didn't have the habit of carrying a watch, so he touched it and said, "In another hour, I will almost be able to have lunch."
Zhang Qixun scolded secretly, put aside Ah Gui's hand, turned around and rushed into another tent to get his equipment, and went straight to the lake.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of huge water came, and Zhang Qixun looked forward, and his heart was shocked.
A whirlpool had already been churned on the surface of the lake, and the rubber boat floating on the water was also hit by the current and buckled upside down on the water, and was soon swallowed up by the whirlpool.
The whirlpool grew larger and larger, and soon spread to most of the lake.
The siphon tide came and went quickly, and it was too late to put on the equipment, Zhang Qixun hurriedly put everything into the space, ran two steps into the water, and plunged forward into the water, and quickly swam towards the whirlpool in the center.
A huge wave swept in, rushing straight to Zhang Jixun's front door and patting him with a lot of meat.
Before he could react, as soon as the waves rolled, Zhang Qixun's whole person lost control, and he could only hear the rumbling sound of water in his ears.
After a few breaths, the body began to fall uncontrollably, stumbling against the wall of the well, and sliding down the steep slope.
Bang, I don't know what my back hit, the huge impact made Zhang Qixun breathe, and the turbid water rushed into his mouth and nose, and his lungs only felt the stuffy pain of burning fire.
He subconsciously reached out and grabbed an iron railing-like thing, slowing down the force of the fall, and his consciousness barely returned.
The water was still impacting, Zhang Qixun stabilized his body, took out an oxygen cylinder from the space, turned his back to the water flow and bit the air mouth, and his breathing was finally smooth.
The water was too turbid, and Zhang Qixun couldn't open his eyes, so he had to reach out and slowly try to touch it.
This shaft is not very wide, and people can barely turn around, but there is no special touch around it, and the iron railing is welded and cannot be shaken at all.
It's strange, how did the slumped shoulders get so many people into the cave of Milotha?
The strength of the impact of the water flow gradually decreased, and Zhang Qixun knew that this time the siphon tide was in the past.
After the fluctuation of the water flow calmed down, Zhang Qixun got up, carried the oxygen cylinder on his back, and went upstream along the well against the current.
In the original plot, the little brother and the fat man said that they were stabbed from behind when they were about to suffocate and fall unconscious.
And Zhang Qixun didn't see the little brother in front of the iron fence blocking debris in the shaft just now, so the little brother must have been stolen by the collapsed shoulder.
All the way up, until the wellhead was drilled, Zhang Qixun did not find anything unusual in the shaft.
I was wondering, and suddenly my heart froze, and I quickly turned my head, and my pupils shrank suddenly.
It turned out that at some point, a gray figure wearing a diving mask was standing behind him.
The man in gray was holding a bamboo pipe in his hand, and he was going to sneak attack, but when he saw that Zhang Qixun had discovered him, he quickly stretched the bamboo pipe forward.
An extremely short silver needle quickly cut through the water and rushed straight to Zhang Qixun's neck.
Zhang Qixun reacted quickly, took a step back, raised his left hand to hold the silver needle, and conjured a Type 06 underwater bayonet out of thin air in his right hand, and raised his hand to attack the gray-clothed man.
The two fought for more than a dozen moves, and the other party had difficulty moving one leg, and was caught by Zhang Qixun, and stabbed him in the chest, and suddenly, a trace of blood mist drifted in the water.
Zhang Qixun wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase and catch him, but the man in black was extremely familiar with the environment here, and took advantage of the thrust that Zhang Qixun hit and escaped directly into the darkness behind him.
When Zhang Qixun chased after him, the other party had disappeared.
Zhang Qixun spit out a string of bubbles, replaced an oxygen cylinder, and followed the direction of the gray-clothed man's last disappearance.
A Han-style tower of this size should logically be symmetrical to the left and right.
Zhang Qixun quickly walked through the staircase passage to the third floor of the tower, looked up at the thickest supporting columns in the center of the tower, and then walked quickly to the carved wooden wall opposite.
Stretched out his left hand and touched it lightly, then stopped in one place, reached out and pressed down, a palm-sized disc was sunken into it about three centimeters, and in the middle of the disc was a password device like a gossip disk.
Zhang Qixun twisted the Taiji fish in the center with his fingers to restore the kun position and the dry position.
With a click, the wooden wall shook, and a finger-wide gap popped open in the middle.
Zhang Qixun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, good guy, this special mother is actually back
It's a sliding door.
It may be that it has been soaked in water for too long, and these woods are all deformed, Zhang Qixun only pushed open a wide gap and barely squeezed into it sideways.
The planks under his feet have been covered with fluffy unknown algae for many years, leaving a series of footprints, one shallow and one deep.
Zhang Qixun followed the footprints around the screen, and actually saw many iron figurines missing his right hand here, the outer layer of these iron figurines seemed to be wrapped in pitch-black armor, invisibly revealing a penetrating sense of gloom.
Behind the figurine was also a door, half-hidden, and it seemed that the guy had already entered.
Zhang Qixun slowed down as much as he could, and walked down the stairs into the passage, which ended in a stone chamber, but unlike the other side, there was no patio that could produce siphon moisture.
The walls of the stone chamber were directly connected to the uneven mountain, and there was a gap two people wide in the middle of the mountain, but it had been filled with dark green jade veins.
This is where the footprints end.
But now Zhang Qixun is a little difficult, because the alkali stored in his space is in powder, and as soon as he takes it out, it will react with the surrounding water, not to mention killing Milota, even Zhang Qixun himself can be burned by the heat generated by the reaction.
Depend on! Zhang Qixun scolded secretly in his heart, how did the special mother get in?
No, wait a minute.
Looking at the shadows on the dark green jade veins, Zhang Qixun suddenly thought of a way.
Immediately took a step forward and flattened his body on the jade vein, although after soaking in cold water for a long time, his body temperature dropped a lot, but compared to the cold jade vein, Zhang Qixun was the only heat source at the moment.
As soon as he posted it, Zhang Qixun was so shocked by the ice that he couldn't wait to jump away immediately.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the biting coldness, he waited quietly, and sure enough, the gray shadow in the jade vein looked a little clearer than before.
Click, click, clinging to the chest, and even faintly feel the movement of the creatures walking in the jade veins.
Finally, the broken voice was close to his ears, and a green hand stretched in front of Zhang Qixun's eyes, and soon, the green face also appeared.
Staring at those two empty eyes, Zhang Qixun only felt creepy and felt a chill in his heart.
Finally, a hole was dug out of the jade vein, and Zhang Qixun was separated from the ghost inside by a layer thinner than glass at this moment.
Milota's roar also came out, Zhang Qixun took a step back, took out the black gold ancient knife from the space, raised his hands high, ready to attack, and slashed in the air when Milota drilled out half of his body.
Click, the jade vein in front of him, along with the Milota inside, was split in half by the black gold ancient knife.
The black-haired snake inside was also split in two, fell out of Milota's heart, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
With the first experience, the follow-up Zhang Qixun concocted the same method, although slowly, but after half an hour, the space he was in was completely cut off from the water.
Put the oxygen cylinder that was a little in the way into the space, then took out the protective suit and put it on, took out the alkali powder and a pickaxe shovel, and sprayed and dug it, and the speed was much faster.
I don't know how long it took, the jade vein in front of me was suddenly interrupted, Zhang Qixun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came out.
It is a flat, excavated cave, only more than 20 square meters in size, and the head can be pushed up to the top of the cave when you stand upright.
The rock material here is very rough, water is seeping down everywhere, the ground is wet, and there is a dark green jade vein on the cave wall, and there is no sign of Milota coming out of it.
Zhang Qi looked around, but found no trace of the little brother.
I don't know where the dog thing with the slumped shoulders got the little brother.
Zhang Qixun put away the used tools, put on a protective suit, carried a knife, and walked out from the other side of the cave.
All kinds of stones can be found everywhere here, and Zhang Qixun's main search is the cave where the god Thunder King is placed in the original plot.
Not far after going out, Zhang Qixun found that the caves here are very complex, extending in all directions, like a labyrinth.
In desperation, he had no choice but to carve a mark on the mountain wall so as not to get lost.
After passing through six caves in a row, and finally in the seventh cave, Zhang Qixun saw a lot of iron figurines, all of which were placed on a wide iron shelf.
There are also some old-fashioned mining pickaxes next to the shelves.
The cave was noticeably wider than the previous ones, and the ceiling and walls of the cave were covered in dark green streaks that emitted a deep dark light.
In the middle of the cave, there is an upside-down jar, on which is placed a black statue with a majestic and hideous face, which is the Thunder King God that Zhang Qi is looking for.
Zhang Qixun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found this evil god statue, which means that the little brother is nearby.
I don't know what I'm thinking in my head, could it be that I think that a dead evil god can still affect the little brother?
Zhang Qixun took out the alkali powder and manuscript again, and randomly picked a jade vein cave opposite the evil god and sprayed it.
The jade veins that Milota had just passed through were softer than the old ones, and they were easy to clean.
Squirted to the third one, and finally found the right place.
The little brother was lying quietly on the edge of a pile of rubble.
Looking around, the mountain walls are densely packed with dark green jade veins.
Damn, Zhang Qixun scolded secretly, he finally knew why the dog thing with the shoulders put the little brother here.
Once the little brother wakes up and finds a way to build a fire, it is completely equivalent to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Zhang Qixun hurriedly went over to check on the little brother's situation, and sure enough, he found a small needle eye on the back of his neck, which was faintly purple.
This place should not be stayed for long.
Zhang Qixun hurriedly took off the protective clothing stained with alkali powder on his body, and moved the little brother to the cave with fewer jade veins that he had dug before.
Then he began to deal with the wounds on the little brother's body.
