Chapter 16: The Monster at the River Bottom
I swam back to the riverbank.
Cui Hao was squatting by the river and playing with the river boringly.
When he saw me coming, he hurriedly pulled the rope and pulled me up.
"How's it going to be? Is there really something? ”
I nodded, and gave Cui Hao a brief description of the giant stone door I had just seen.
"There's a big stone door down there, and it looks like there's something buried underneath."
"I can't hold my breath too long, though, so I'll swim up."
Cui Hao stared at me in shock.
"If there's something, why don't I go down and have a look?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the rope around my waist and was about to untie it.
I shook my head and pressed his hand.
"Don't worry, the river beach below is freezing cold, and it's too easy to have accidents. Wait a minute, we'll take a long-term view. ”
I carefully recalled the entrances to the caves.
There are so many caves underneath this place, there must be more than one entrance.
There may be gates inside other caves.
I don't know exactly what's inside, but looking at the layout of these stone doors, the contents are remarkable.
"Cui Hao, let's take an underwater camera, take a picture, and then simply sum it up to see which hole we should enter."
I said my guess, and Cui Hao had no objection.
Since I went into the water twice, I was a little exhausted.
So Cui Hao swam down with the camera to see the situation first, and I was responsible for support on the shore.
I tightened the rope, stared at the mighty river in front of me, and pulled out a cigarette and stuffed it into my mouth.
About four minutes.
Cui Hao still hasn't lurked from below.
"Fatty, what are you doing?"
I shouted at the river and quickly pulled the rope to pull the man up.
It quickly floated up to my strength.
Cui Hao's face was pale, his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble, and his body was covered with wet water stains, obviously scared by something.
I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Cui Hao's shoulder and asked about the situation below.
"What the hell is going on?"
Cui Hao shook his head at me, swallowed and handed me the camera.
"See for yourself."
I turned on my camera and looked at what was being filmed inside.
Cui Hao was in a hurry for quick success, I originally only asked him to go down to shoot a few caves, and he would accept it when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, Cui Hao actually photographed all these caves from beginning to end.
There was even a long shot.
Although the underwater picture is not very clear, there are fluctuations in the water ripples that block the details of the picture.
But if you put all these pictures together, you can still clearly see that the caves in the picture are long and long.
There are more than a dozen caves, and there are other caves large and small.
Vaguely.
One of the caves seemed to be faintly glowing.
Since I only had a partial view under the water, I couldn't see the whole picture clearly, so I didn't notice the cave twice when I went down at that time.
Cui Hao gasped for breath and stretched out his hand to light the glowing cave.
"I threw a flashlight into this cave, that's why it came out. There is a problem inside the cave, there is a door inside. But unlike the stone door you described, I suspect these caves have doors inside. ”
I nodded, looking at Cui Hao curiously.
"But why are you so embarrassed?"
In the face of my inquiry, Cui Hao shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"I got caught in something while I was lurking underneath, and if I hadn't cut it off with a dagger, you wouldn't have seen me alive."
As he spoke, Cui Hao stretched out his hand and showed me a handful of things he was holding in his hand.
"Hair?"
I stared at that piece of hair in shock, and looked at Cui Hao incredulously.
"How did you cut a piece of hair out?"
Cui Hao was also extremely shocked.
He looked at the hair in his palm and muttered to himself.
"This can't be! I remember that at that time, I was supposed to cut off the aquatic weed, how did it turn into hair? ”
I stared at the rushing water, and my heart became even colder.
It seems that this underwater is a little more dangerous than I thought, and the things inside are not as simple as we thought.
"Cui Hao, I'll go down later, you can rest for a while. It's the same way we did before, if I don't move for four minutes, you're going to pull me up. ”
Cui Hao nodded, untied the rope from his waist, and tied it around my waist.
"Then be careful, I'll watch from above, and if there is any danger, swim up in time. Corpse clothes are not as important as your life. ”
I nodded, handed the other side of the rope to the fat man, and plunged headlong into the rushing river.
The river floated coldly on my skin, and the meaning that penetrated deep into my bone marrow slowly soaked my body.
I immediately held my breath and dived down, slowly diving into the clear water below through the dim mud and sand above.
The surroundings are calm and unwavering.
Although the river was still cold, there was no strange hair.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe it's because it's a long time, there are corpses floating underneath, and he accidentally gets hungry for the fat man's body, so he cut off that strand of hair.
I squinted and looked around and took a few pictures with my camera.
After making sure there was nothing strange underneath, I slowly approached the glowing cavern.
I looked inside along the mouth of the cave.
There was a warm orange glow coming from the flashlight.
I don't know what's going on with this fat guy, why did he throw the flashlight here.
However, through the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see a huge stone door in front of me.
This stone gate is different from what I saw before.
The stone gate I saw earlier was square, and the stone door in front of me was arched.
I thought about it for a moment and swam to the left to check another cave.
These 10 buildings are smaller, just enough for me to swim in without getting stuck, but there is no more room for expansion.
I pointed my flashlight at the cave and swam into the depths, where it soon came to an end and I found no other stone gates.
"Looks like this should be nothing."
It's hard to turn around.
I could only move backwards slowly, grasping the surrounding stone walls to push my body, and gradually pushing my body out in a backward manner.
But I moved half backwards.
It was as if my feet had hit something hard, and I couldn't go any further.
The cave was so small that I couldn't turn my head at all.
I could only reluctantly drop the flashlight one by one and aim it behind me.
At the same time I lowered my head, and the hammer ran down the gap between my chest and the stone wall, and glanced out.
In an instant, my body trembled, and I almost opened my mouth and choked.
Behind my feet, there was a human face.
The face noticed my gaze and gave me a strange smile.
The next second, the man slammed into my ankles, and the long hair fluttering on his forehead continued to shake with the waves.
"Made."
There was no fire underground, and I was powerless to fight this thing for a while.
I kicked my ankle hard and kicked it in the face in an attempt to knock him to the ground.
I pulled out the weapon with my other hand, gritted my teeth, and slammed it backwards along the gap under my body.
Due to the fluctuation of the current, and the fact that I couldn't see clearly behind me, the hidden weapon was out of sight.
The thing didn't hit the guy directly in the face, but it still brushed against the skin of his forehead.
A large section of the scalp was shaved off with a hidden weapon.
The thing let out a strange cry and scurried backwards at a breakneck speed.
I didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, so I quickly slammed my hand at the surrounding stone wall and quickly moved my body backwards.
Due to the delay caused by the entanglement with that guy, I was here for half a minute longer than I expected.
At this point, I don't have much oxygen.
I was weak and about to run out of oxygen.
The place was so small that the sharp rocks around it were raised and cut through my clothes, and even some of my skin.
But I didn't dare to stop.
I pushed hard against the cave walls, and finally I got out of it.
On the occasion of turning back again.
There was nothing left behind me.
The strange face just now disappeared in front of my eyes as if I had seen a hallucination.
But I know it in my heart.
It was impossible for me to be mistaken, because I was also clutching a large patch of hair in my hand at this time.
It was also stained with dark red stains and a large area of the scalp.
"What the hell is that?"
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I immediately threw my hand and swam forward.
At this time, there was a sudden pull from the rope around my waist, and it should be Cui Hao who noticed that something was wrong and began to pull the rope on my body.
I swam hard with this force.
Faintly, I seemed to feel a dark shadow not far away rushing towards me.
I didn't dare to stop, and I stepped up my swimming movements.
Finally, when the dark shadow was about ten meters away from me, I managed to get out of the water.
I immediately grabbed the embankment and quickly rushed to the bank with the help of the fat man's hand.
Falling to the ground, I threw my head up and gasped for air.
When Cui Hao saw me like this, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb me.
He sat silently on the side, quietly with me, until I was completely calm down.
The fat man walked up to me hesitantly.
"What's wrong with you?"
I carefully told Cui Hao what I saw below.
"I'm lucky, too, otherwise I might have been planted underneath this moment."
Confused, I lifted the scalp in my hand, and the long hair stuck to it.
"Look at this, I cut it off from that thing's head. I dragged this thing into my hand and brought it out as I crawled out. ”
Seeing the strands of hair, Cui Hao's face was also extremely ugly.
"Your stuff is similar to the one I saw, and there may be a strange creature living underneath the ground, similar to a human. And there is hair on the head, which is very weird. ”
