Chapter 124: The Underground Cavity
After listening to my words, Cui Hao and the others were obviously stunned.
It was Cui Hao who spoke first.
"We didn't call you, at that time, several of us were communicating the following situation, and no one called your name anymore."
That's weird.
If none of them mentioned my name, then where did that weird voice come from?
I inhaled in horror.
On the contrary, Li Zhuang next to me looked surprised.
"You don't have to worry, everything can be eliminated after you enter, you are injected with the blood of the king, and you will naturally be attracted by the ghosts below, which they don't have."
After speaking, Li Zhuang stood by my side without hesitation.
"You just swim forward, even if you're bewitched by what's inside, it's okay. I'll always be there for you and check on you. If something was wrong, I'd have dragged you back. ”
Li Zhuang is different from us, he is a man many years ago, and he has lived in the world for so many years, he must know more about the ghosts under the ground than we do.
With Li Zhuang by my side, I was indeed a little relieved.
Zhuge Chalcedony in the distance seemed to be turning his head to look at the two of us, as if he was quite interested in the relationship between me and Li Zhuang.
He even sneaked in our direction, as if he was watching the two of us.
I just thought I couldn't see it.
Then follow the guide in front of you and continue to swim forward.
A few more times along the way, I was so bewitched by the sound below that I almost lost my mind, leaving only the obsession of the machine swimming forward.
But every time I have this kind of intention, Li Zhuang will make a timely move to make me sober up.
I was able to swim with them to the front of the cave without any danger.
At this point, I finally got a good view of what was going on.
I never thought there would be such a big hidden tunnel underneath this ground.
The tunnel is circular in shape, and it spreads forward in an unknown direction.
The tunnel is ten meters wide, and it is more than enough for a few of us to go in side by side.
At this point, it was dark beneath the deep passage, and we could not see even a single light.
Zhao Yueming's voice sounded in our ears.
"Next, we are ready to enter the tunnel, in front of us is our target location, we have to go in as soon as possible to find our position and direction."
After speaking, Zhao Yueming urged the guide again.
"Guide, go back. I don't need your guidance in the future, the situation below is very dangerous, and it is safer for ordinary people like you to return to the shore. ”
It seemed that they had already agreed on this, so the guide only nodded when he heard this, and quickly followed the way he came.
There were only six of us left.
Zhao Yueming pointed to the hole in front of him.
"In this way, it is better for us to keep a group of two, and go downstream, showing a side-by-side trend. In this way, if some problems arise, we can also get help in time. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yueming swam to Zhuge Chalcedony's side quite naturally.
"I act with Zhuge Chalcedony, and the two of us often cooperate on weekdays, so it is most appropriate for us to act together."
As he spoke, he looked up at a few of us.
"You guys mix and match."
Cui Hao nodded and looked directly at me.
But soon he was blocked by Li Zhuang next to me.
"I'll follow the little prince, he needs my reminder all the time, you don't have a problem with this, right?"
Cui Hao hesitated and nodded, and quickly turned around and went to Wang Wangyang's side.
After a few of us were grouped, Li Zhuang suggested that our group go to the end of the line.
"The two of us finish with the foundation, and you will open the way in front, it will be more appropriate."
Zhao Yueming nodded, and swam to the front of the team with Zhuge chalcedony, and then the two of them opened the way.
Wang Wangyang and Cui Hao were caught in the middle by us, and their positions were relatively safe.
I'm just a little puzzled, why Li Zhuang has to be our highness.
It's just that when I asked about the situation, Li Zhuang didn't say a word, just shook his head at me lightly, and signaled me not to say more.
I didn't say more, but quietly swam along with the group in front of me.
At this time, the darkness around us is getting darker and darker.
We have entered the entrance of the cave, and the surrounding environment is extremely narrow, although it is said to be about ten meters in diameter, but the further we swim, the more narrow the distance of this space becomes.
In addition, the darkness and silence under the earth also made several of us palpitate.
But fortunately, Cui Hao didn't stop talking from beginning to end, and kept chattering with us about some homely things, and even told jokes.
Finally brought our atmosphere to life, not as dull as before.
Halfway through, I noticed something unusual.
Li Zhuang seemed to be worried about something, and often looked back behind us.
It was as if someone was following us.
I quietly touched his arm while the people in front of me weren't paying attention.
"Li Zhuang, is there anyone behind us?"
He winked at me and nodded slightly.
"Yes, be careful."
After saying that, he didn't say much, but continued to drag me forward.
I turned my head and looked back.
Behind us was empty, except for the pitch-black passage that spread out towards the Jade Pool.
I couldn't see anyone inside.
I don't know why Li Zhuang is so sure, there are people behind me.
But since he said so, I didn't dare to delay, so I could only be cautious and careful to guard behind me to avoid someone suddenly sneaking in.
We were not slow, and soon we were swimming 100 meters away.
It's just that halfway through, I suddenly heard Cui Hao exclaim.
Then he struggled, as if he had been entangled in something.
"Cui Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Surprised, I rushed over to help.
Li Zhuang rushed forward one step ahead of me, came to Cui Hao's side and grabbed his arm, and then reached out and flicked on his helmet.
"Don't move, come to your senses."
Cui Hao's head was shaken from side to side by him, as if he was going to break his neck.
I hurriedly leaned over to ease Li Zhuang's movements, but I suddenly found that Cui Hao had nothing on him.
So just now, Cui Hao seemed to be entangled by something, what was he struggling with?
A sudden uneasiness rose in my heart.
I immediately took two steps back, stared at the two of them nervously and cautiously, and said no more.
After Li Zhuang shook it a few times, Cui Hao finally came to his senses completely.
His face turned pale, and his body still trembled slightly.
I approached Wang Wangyang's side and asked Cui Hao about his status.
"What's wrong with him? The two of you were swimming side by side, did you notice anything unusual? ”
Wang Wangyang's voice was full of confusion.
"Nothing, he suddenly started struggling just as we swam forward, and I heard him say get out of here, let me go, I don't know what's going on?"
I nodded, and then swam in front of Cui Hao.
At this time, Cui Hao was gasping for breath, staring around in horror, as if he was still afraid of something.
Zhao Yueming and a few of them also swam back.
A few of us surrounded Cui Hao, waiting for him to come to his senses.
After nearly a minute, Cui Hao's breathing was stable and his expression calmed down a little.
"I just saw something grab my hands and feet, my hands and feet were cold, the whole person couldn't relax, something was ready to pull me down."
As he spoke, Cui Hao stared at the soles of his feet in horror, as if his ankles had really been grabbed by something just now.
Li Zhuang opened his mouth and said softly.
"Don't worry, there's nothing. When I rushed over just now, there was nothing on you, and you were hallucinating. ”
But Cui Hao's expression was unusually firm.
"It's not like a hallucination, I really feel like something has caught me, it's weird, so be careful."
He shook his head with a serious expression on his face, which didn't look like he was joking at all.
I can't figure out what the hell is going on?
For a while, our atmosphere became extremely low, and we couldn't figure out what to do next.
In the end, it was Zhao Yueming who presided over the overall situation.
"Let's continue swimming, and based on our previous inspections, we are only 100 meters away from the entrance in front of us. When we stop, we can figure out what the hell is going on. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Yueming took the lead in getting up and swimming forward, giving us a sample.
Since they were opening the way in front, Cui Hao naturally didn't say much, but he still kept looking left and right, as if to check if there were still figures hidden in the shadows around him.
Seeing him like this, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
It seems that when we entered here just now, Li Zhuang was in such a state, constantly checking the situation behind us.
It's like knowing what's behind us.
I suddenly had a vague illusion that Li Zhuang didn't know that there was something behind us, so he would have made such a performance just now.
I immediately asked Li Zhuang about the situation.
He waved his hand at me and shook his head.
"There's something to follow, but it's not what you think, it's not a living thing, and you don't have to worry about it. With me by your side, those things don't dare to come. ”
After speaking, Li Zhuang no longer paid attention to my question, but directly swam to the front without hesitation.
I swallowed.
Li Zhuang is not talking about one, but a group.
That is to say, in the darkness behind us, a group of things are eyeing us, ready to do something to us.
