Chapter 17, Cui Hao is in distress

The two of us looked at each other, and then looked at the river in front of us again, and neither of us had any intention of going down.

Cui Hao hesitated for a long time before looking at me.

"Why don't we go out first, and then think about it in the long run? It's weird down there, and I have a hunch that if we continue like this, we're going to have to plant it underneath. ”

I sighed and shook my head.

"If we keep hiding for safety, when will we find the corpse? The danger underneath means that the more likely we are to find it. ”

I looked up at Cui Hao and shook that scalp aside.

"If you're worried, then you're waiting for me on the shore, ready to help. I'm going to go down on my own, I'm going to have to figure out what's down there. ”

There must be something in those caves and stone doors.

And judging from the carving method and the degree of fineness of the stone door, the things in it are definitely treasures.

The corpse clothes may be inside.

Cui Hao's face suddenly turned cold, and he reached out and patted me on the shoulder.

"Is Lao Tzu the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Then I will go down, and you will wait for me on the shore. ”

Cui Hao grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist, pinched a dagger tightly, put a buckle on his waist, and asked for a few of my hidden weapons.

"I'll use it, if there's something in there, I'll have one more way to survive."

I nodded and threw the weapon to him.

Then I took out the cable and imported all the photos from the camera into my phone.

After doing everything, I handed the camera to Cui Hao.

"I just took some photos below, and before I could see them, the camera gave you the photos, and I have already guided the photos."

Cui Hao nodded, held his breath and walked to the bank of the river, and hesitated for a long time before jumping down.

I immediately took out my phone and started the timer, setting an alarm clock for a countdown.

After setting the alarm, I just looked at the shot.

Because I was in a hurry and the camera was not very stable, the photos I took were in a trance, and some of them were even blurry.

But you can roughly see what is filmed inside.

I also shot a long shot.

I watched all the photos that the fat man had taken from beginning to end.

The fat man's hands-on skills are better than mine, and the photos he takes are very stable.

I was able to clearly see the appearance of several grottoes in front and back, and I saw the end from the beginning to the end, and tried to use the software to put these pictures together and make a long picture.

Finally, I can see the global macro state below.

The grotto below can be said to be extremely impressive, and judging by the length of the picture below, the grotto below should have expanded hundreds of meters away.

The grottoes are large and small, and there are still carved patterns on this stone wall.

Previously, only the appearance of the silence and part of the grotto could be observed, and I did not take these raised notches on the walls as carving marks.

I thought these were naturally formed stones, which were uneven and naturally had their own growth patterns.

But now I look closely.

Only then did I realize that there were carved marks on the uneven stone on the wall.

In particular, when all these stones are combined, it looks like a flying dragon crossing the river.

The carving is extremely domineering, and some details are extremely blurred, but there is a different kind of beauty.

"Is this a dragon?"

The dragon ascends to the sky, and its giant claws span the riverbank.

A flying dragon is 100 meters long, and it heads up and goes straight into the sky.

I didn't expect it to be a whole.

"No wonder there are so many stone caves and stone doors underneath, it seems that they are specially designed for people to enter and exit."

I thought about it, took out my brush, and drew a circle around the stone cave where the flashlight was shining.

"There's a stone gate here, so make a mark for the time being."

I drew a cross at the hole next to him.

"I've just entered this place, and it's a dead end inside, so you don't have to dig any deeper."

I carefully watched every hole.

Determine the next action goal.

"When the fat man comes up later, the two of us can divide these holes into one point, and then go to these holes to explore the bottom first."

I decided to go through each cave and mark them first.

After discovering the caves in Shimen, you can take a closer look.

Now we have to determine which ones are dead ends, and we must not make the same mistake again.

If that face comes again, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to stand it.

As I studied the picture closely.

I slid through the picture and vaguely saw a blurry image.

This is a photo taken overhead when I was swimming down.

At that time, I was in the middle of a clear water layer, and the photos I took were a layer of turbidity.

The water was so muddy that it was impossible to see what was inside.

I shook my head and prepared to hit delete.

But just before the deletion, I suddenly saw a faint figure of a living person in the dim river.

The figure was swimming against the river, and the figure's eyes were staring at me intently.

But at that time my whole attention was on the top of the caves, and I didn't even notice what was going on in the muddy water.

"What the hell is this?"

I was shocked and hurriedly zoomed in on this photo to take a closer look.

That's when I realized.

There was clearly more than this figure in the muddy water.

Although the muddy water is muddy, you can vaguely see that there are several figures buried in it.

Their figures were faintly hidden in the dirt, and they all seemed to be turning their heads in my direction.

"There are so many figures down here, what the hell is this?"

I looked at the calm and waveless river, and suddenly had a premonition that Cui Hao was in danger.

I tugged hard at the rope, ready to pull Cui Hao up from below.

There was a clear pull from below.

If Cui Hao had been notified by me, it would have been impossible for me to use such great strength to resist my dragging.

I was getting more and more worried.

I tugged on the rope and pulled it up as fast as I could.

The power from the rope under Cui Hao is also getting bigger and bigger.

"Fatty, what the hell are you doing?"

I looked at the rushing water and increased my strength.

I'm struggling with the thing on the other end of the rope.

At this time, the mobile phone rings, and the time of four minutes has arrived.

If Cui Hao is not dragged up again, he will inevitably die of lack of oxygen.

I thought about it, and simply straightened the rope and tied it to the stone on the side.

I carried the dagger, fumbled with the rope and plunged head-on.

When crossing a murky river.

I opened my eyes and looked around.

As expected.

There were a number of faint figures floating around me in the dirt, very inconspicuously around me.

Every time I approached these figures, they would deliberately swim backwards to distance themselves from me.

I'm sure these things definitely have their own consciousness and ideas.

They were even able to dodge my approach, which was definitely a problem.

I was extremely worried.

Cui Hao must have encountered danger below, and this one has never been able to go up.

I pulled the rope and groped forward, quickly searching for Cui Hao's location.

Finally.

I saw a little light ahead.

That's the light from a flashlight.

The water splashed in front of me, and Cui Hao's shadow appeared in front of me.

Except for him.

Cui Hao was also accompanied by an extremely strange figure.

The man was about two meters tall, and his body was extremely tall and muscular, with thin arms and legs embedded in it.

The expression of this thing was extremely terrifying, and the bulging eyes looked like two huge copper bells.

Besides.

There's a piece missing from the top of this thing's scalp, and it's obviously the monster I just shot at it.

At this time, the rope on Cui Hao's body was tightly pinched in his hand by this monster, and he couldn't break free at all.

Cui Hao's face was purple, and he was obviously about to hold his breath.

I know that time cannot be delayed any longer.

I swam forward quickly, swam to the fat man's side, picked up my dagger and stabbed the monster with a stab.

With a pop, the dagger went into the flesh.

The monster let out a high-pitched roar with its mouth open, and jerked its claws and slapped them down on my face.

His claws are extremely sharp, and his front is covered with fingernails nearly ten centimeters long.

Sharp nails slashed against my arm, cutting through my clothes and skin in an instant.

Cui Hao's body sank down, his eyeballs rolled white, and he was obviously almost unable to support it.

I don't have time to fight this guy.

I immediately grabbed Cui Hao's arm and floated upward.

At the same time, he slashed at the monster's arm, forcing him to let go of his grip on our rope.

I tightened the rope and dragged Cui Hao, and threw a hidden weapon directly at the monster's body.

The toxin on the hidden weapon instantly forced the monster back, and he stared at me with wide eyes, but he never dared to approach the two of us again.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly dragged Cui Hao swimming, and quickly swam more than ten meters upstream, once again submerged into the turbid river.

I dragged the camera in the fat man's hand, aimed at the muddy river around me, pressed the door constantly, and took one photo after another.

Finally swam to the riverbank.

I immediately spread the fat man flat on the ground and quickly helped him press on his chest to regain his breathing.

The fat man coughed up a mouthful of water, and finally opened his eyes.

I was relieved to see that the fat man was alive.

"Fatty, you just scared me to death. How did you encounter that underground monster, you almost got killed by this, do you know? ”

The fat man, who was weak, looked up at me with a bleak smile.

"I don't know, but when I swam underwater, this guy slammed out, and I felt something was wrong, so I was going to swim back."

It's just that I didn't expect that this thing grabbed my rope and dragged me down a few inches.

The fat man said with a helpless wry smile.

"I fought with this thing, trying to pull the rope out, but it didn't work. Coupled with the fact that there is less and less oxygen, my body has gradually begun to weaken. ”
