Chapter 36: Underground Hot Springs
Cui Hao nodded, and also took out a change of clothes from his body, pinched it in his hand after forming a group, and asked for the lighter in my hand.
"Go, you must not let these things escape, otherwise it will be bad."
After Cui Hao pulled the buckle, he reached out and grabbed the rope and the raised stone bricks, and climbed up after me.
The two of us picked up speed and quickly chased after the cartilaginous translucent crab-like hexapods.
Hexapods are not very fast, and since they have no bones, they are very slow to climb on walls.
This was exactly what we wanted, and it didn't take long for the two of us to catch up on these cartilage worms.
I reached out and lifted the garment in my hand, and when it was lit, it led directly to a cartilage worm.
The bug screamed in shock, and before I could even react, it fell from in front of me, burning into a small fireball and rolling on the ground.
In addition to this bug, we also chased after the other bugs, and they all turned into fireballs and fell down the cliff.
I didn't scour the walls around me carefully to make sure there weren't any of them, and the two of us breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, go back."
Just in case, I climbed back and smashed the figurine that had been pierced through the hole, and searched it from beginning to end.
After confirming that there was no such hexapod in this thing, I breathed a sigh of relief, dragged Cui Hao to re-tie the rope, and continued to climb up.
"Let's go! Don't touch the other figurines, this place is so weird, and I don't have the strength to deal with them with a bunch of bugs. ”
Just now, the two of us were also young and vigorous, and we had to deal with these insects with that strength, so that they could be driven off the wall in time.
If we were to go through this again, we would have a nervous breakdown.
Cui Hao nodded and continued to climb up with me. We climbed back to the square exit we had just made, and the rope was already at the end.
I looked overhead, went straight into the hole and collapsed to the ground, resting with my head up.
After Cui Hao climbed in, he lay down directly beside me.
"Are you too tired to go up?"
I nodded, gesturing above my head.
"I don't know what is on it yet, but if there is no one on it, then we will go out of this tomb and go to other tombs to have a look."
I don't know exactly where the corpse clothes are hidden, but we can't be lucky enough to search every cave, right?
The two of us lay on the ground and were paralyzed for about ten minutes, which eased up a lot.
I raised my hand to open the backpack, took out the gauze and medicine powder from it again, and removed the gauze that had been tied to the palm of my hand.
Since he had just climbed again, the wound on his palm had not yet scabbed, but it had gone through a period of rubbing, and now the skin was broken again, and the gauze was stained red.
I was so weak that I really didn't have the strength to change the gauze, so I took off the blood-stained gauze and threw it aside.
Ready to get a new one.
When Cui Hao saw my palm, shame immediately appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
After Cui Hao finished speaking, he quickly reached out and snatched the gauze in my hand, and brought the medicine powder and sprinkled it on my palm to help me bandage it.
I shook my head and stared wistfully at the top of my head.
"You have to know that it's easy to go down and hard to come up, it took the two of us more than twice as long to climb up just now, and it's because we have ropes to borrow points, so we didn't fall."
I pointed to the top of my head and looked at Cui Hao.
"But now that we're going to climb up, the rock walls around us are very slippery, and if the two of us just climb like this, I always feel like we're going to have to do something. And you can't get a rope when you climb up, do you have any good way? ”
Cui Hao took out a dagger and shovel from his body, pinched it in the palm of his hand and slammed it hard against the wall.
However, due to the stone walls all around, this thing was not easy to use, and there was no way for them to be nailed into the stone walls.
Cui Hao looked at the soul suppression nail on the ground in embarrassment, and pinched the rope tied to it.
"Otherwise, we still hold on to this rope and climb up, if we really fall, the rope can also give us a pull, so that we don't fall directly to the bottom, what do you think?"
I thought about it, but this is the only way to go.
The two of us chatted for a while, rested for about half an hour, and then prepared to leave.
I shook my arms, tightened the rope and buckled it back, said hello to Cui Hao, and took the lead to go up.
I also have a rope tied to my body, which is tied to Cui Hao.
So if one of us accidentally gets planted, the other one can help hold on for a while.
Although the risk is also higher.
Because of my previous climbing experience, this time I was relatively familiar with the road, and I was able to grasp the protruding stone bricks much faster than before.
But the higher we climbed, the more we could clearly feel that the temperature above was several times higher than below.
Faintly, large beads of sweat were already appearing on my forehead.
Cui Hao was originally afraid of heat, but after feeling the temperature above, he couldn't help but complain to me.
"When I just went down, it was frozen like a dead dog, and now it will become a roast suckling pig, why is this place so weird?"
I laughed and scolded him a few times, but I didn't rush to reply.
I don't know where it is, and I can't say for sure.
I just urged Cui Hao to speed up and climb up as soon as possible, because I felt that there was only twenty or thirty meters left above the distance between me and Ye, and I was about to reach the top.
Sure enough, we climbed up for about two or three minutes before I saw the edge of the upper end.
Only now, the stone has burned a little hot, and every time we hold on to the stone, I feel like my palms are about to be burned out of a layer of skin.
Cui Hao scolded and followed behind me, but he was still able to take out a bottle of water from his body and pour it into his palm.
"It's so hot, the skin is going to be scalded off by grandpa."
I'm a lot better than him, after all, I have gauze on my hands, so the temperature will be relatively better.
However, the exposed part of the gauze can still feel the heat on the stone bricks.
The two of us tried our best, and finally managed to climb to the top.
A wave of heat hit me in an instant, and I couldn't help but take off a piece of clothing.
Cui Hao followed closely behind me, and also took off his coat with a low curse.
"What the hell is this place, it's hot to death?"
After I took off my clothes, I quickly raised my flashlight and looked around.
At a glance, I saw that in the middle of the place, there seemed to be a huge pond dug up.
It was steaming and apparently filled with boiling water, making it look like an underground hot spring.
"There is also a hot spring built in this place, and this dog emperor will enjoy it!"
Cui Hao stepped forward and reached out to test the temperature of the hot spring.
I hurriedly dragged the man back.
"Are you crazy? If there is anything underground, your life will not be enough. ”
After I dragged Cui Hao back, I picked up a stone from the ground, aimed it at the hot spring water, and smashed it down.
Bang.
There was a splash above the water, but there was nothing unusual about it.
I stared at the water several times to make sure nothing crawled out, and then I relaxed.
Cui Hao smiled and interjected next to him.
"Little Man, you're just too careful. Although there are many strange places in this underground, this place is so warm, what can be in this water? ”
After speaking, he glanced at his body and took a step forward with a strange expression.
"If you want me to say, the two of us came here to crawl under the stinky sweat, why don't we wash here? The water is so warm in this place, I think it's a good place to take a bath. ”
I stared at Cui Hao speechlessly, pointing to the hot spring water and following his words.
"Okay, you go now. If you don't jump in, I'll look down on you. ”
Cui Hao was so excited by me, Shanshan smiled.
"Just kidding, I'm not really stupid."
He raised his flashlight and looked around, aiming at the hot spring water in front of him, and carefully searched for it.
"It's strange, why is this place dug up such a hot spring, just dig this thing, where is the energy to burn the hot spring?"
I didn't bother to take care of these details, so I left Cui Hao to study in place, turned around and walked out along the hot spring water to the left.
I'll have to see if the corpse clothes have been hidden in this place.
Layers of white mist drifted in front of you, and the water here was so hot that the water vapor rose and collided with the walls, turning into clouds of white mist.
The mist drifted in all directions, and even formed a cloud of fog, blocking our view.
Even though the space doesn't look as big as it does below, the fog makes it impossible for the flashlight to shine through.
I could only keep walking forward and observe the situation within a dozen meters around me.
I walked nearly 100 meters, and the fog around me finally cleared a lot.
I can already vaguely see the layout here.
Suddenly, several black shadows appeared in front of me.
I wasn't so focused on the depths of the hot springs that I was going to walk back along the wall on the left and walk around here.
It's just that I didn't expect to inadvertently turn around and shine a flashlight into the depths of this hot spring pool, and I saw so many gray-black shadows.
And the distance between a few of the shadows and Cui Hao was only twenty or thirty meters.
It's a pity that the water fog near Cui Hao is the largest, and he can't see the situation ahead clearly at all.
I realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted at Cui Hao.
"Cui Hao, get up, come to me."
He stood up and waved at me.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to jump in!"
My heart was already in my throat, for the moment he stood up, the two gray shadows in the mist suddenly moved.
