Chapter 237: Desperate Situation - Former Wolf and Later Tiger
As soon as he bent his body, Li Daoxuan picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground.
He spun around in place, and by inertia, he threw it out violently.
The stone broke through the air, and at great speed, without even the slightest splash, it was driven to the bottom of the water.
Chase the python straight away.
I don't know if the underground river has removed the strength of the stones, or if the python has already swam away from the water.
Li Daoxuan's stone went down without the slightest movement.
"This python is not the same as the one just on the stone steps."
"Well, there is no room for such a big python on that stone step."
Li Daoxuan naturally saw that the big snake on the stone steps before was at most as thick as a human thigh, but this one was not.
Seeing this giant python in the turbulent river, it can't even be called a python anymore, it is more appropriate to say that it is a python.
Without him, the size is just too big.
Zhou Yaya held the torch, and Li Daoxuan took advantage of the situation to look at the surrounding environment.
An incomparably wide stone cave washed out by an underground river, the stone gate where Li Daoxuan and them were located, was opened from the stone wall on the right side of the river.
The stone steps end here.
Nowhere to go.
But this is obviously impossible, the stone path above is blocked with a sealed stone, let alone from the cave outside, this is the only way.
So it's absolutely impossible to get there, and there's no way out.
"Let's go upstream."
The further down the river becomes, the deeper it gets, not to mention that the dragon-like python from before is also hidden here, and if you want to cross the river, you can only find a way from above.
The road down there is no way.
Li Daoxuan led Zhou Yaya and the two of them, stepping on the gravel on the bank of the underground river and walking up, the higher they went, the narrower the river became.
The two of them walked for about twenty or thirty meters, and there was a waterfall with a very steep slope in front of them, and if they wanted to continue up, they had to climb this stone platform from here and go up to see it.
Li Daoxuan looked at the other side from here, and it was only about four or five meters away.
The water is still deep, but you should be able to jump over it with a little help from the top of the waterfall.
"That's it, go across the other side and have a look, I'll go over and pick you up first."
"Okay."
After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he took a few steps back, jumped forward again, jumped out two or three meters directly, and then stepped on the water stone wall with his left foot, just wanting to borrow his strength to pass.
But at this moment, a big snake suddenly came out of the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall, broke through the water, and bit straight towards Li Daoxuan's second brother.
Can this be bitten?!
Li Daoxuan turned over in the air, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and slashed away.
The extremely sharp blade was blessed by his strength, and there was no possibility of the rest, and the head of the snake was directly strangled.
The hideous snake's head fell back to the surface, smearing a large area of water.
But Li Daoxuan's inertia was all used on this knife, and he had no chance to borrow his strength out of thin air, so he had to fall straight into the river.
It was as if a boulder had smashed into the water, and it made a big splash in an instant.
But as soon as he fell into the lake, Li Daoxuan felt something wrap around his legs.
The strength is great and it is tight!
Almost instantly, he could tell what it was.
Big snake!
There is a big snake in this lake!
He rolled in the water for a while, and he couldn't see the splash clearly, and he could only vaguely see a big python covered in pitch-black scale armor rising higher and higher.
It seems that he wants to hang himself.
Fortunately, the long knife was already out of its sheath, and he slashed hard into the middle of his thigh.
The blade cut through the flesh, and at first the black python was in pain, but it became more and more forceful.
But after Li Daoxuan's blade divided its body into several sections, it couldn't do it even if it wanted to.
Strangled the second python again, Li Daoxuan dived down on his back and looked at it, and vaguely, he found that there were three or four long and thick figures at the bottom of the lake, whose body size was at least three or four meters, and the thickness was like a thigh.
Damn it!
Fuck it's a snake grave!
Li Daoxuan scolded in his heart, but there was nowhere to borrow his strength from all around, so he had to let the water rush downstream.
It was only a breath of time before and after, but Zhou Yaya, who was still on the shore, had already shouted crazy.
But fortunately, she still has self-knowledge, so she won't pounce into it like some brainless stupid Bai Tian, she seems to be very emotional, but in fact, she has to become a drag on Li Daoxuan.
She stayed on the shore and watched Li Daoxuan being swept away by the raging river, and there were several big pythons in the river behind him, sometimes disappearing.
Apparently chasing!
Zhou Yaya turned around and had to follow on the shore, and at the same time urged her to learn the art of controlling objects from the realm, and repeatedly wanted to suck Li Daoxuan from the water ashore.
But in the end, it only sucked up a cloud of river water.
Li Daoxuan also heard Zhou Yaya's shout, and he didn't have time to answer, he dived into the water again and again, and then took advantage of the current to go down the water, wanting to get rid of the pursuit of those giant pythons.
At the same time, he is also looking for a place to borrow strength in this turbulent water to see if there is a chance to fight back.
The icy river water had already soaked his whole body, and the river water had overflowed his head again and again, but he had no other choice.
Opportunities and dangers always coexist.
There will be no favor for anyone.
Just like at this moment, even if he had a panel, it wouldn't help.
[The greedy pig killer seems to have underestimated the danger of the tomb of Lou Guguo, just the descendants of a few tomb guarding snakes, such a weak snake species, they have forced you into such a situation, it is really pitiful, your survival point +10 (blue)] 】
Li Daoxuan didn't have time to see what the words on the panel were, he just saw that the panel finally gave him survival points.
And this is also the first time that he came to these three floors, and since he went down to the tomb, the panel has given a survival point.
Originally, he thought that on these three floors, while the Evil Suppression Tower banned everyone from being cheesy, even the panel could not issue survival points.
But now it seems that although the level of this evil tower is high, it wants to restrain the impact on the panel.
Still impossible.
10 blue survival points are 1 blood point.
For Li Daoxuan, who is only more than 13 points of blood now, it is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.
And it also swept away the fatigue on his body, and the state of the whole person directly reached the highest.
It's just such a slight hesitation, and I don't know how far I will be washed out.
In the ears of Li Daoxuan, who reacted, in addition to the sound of turbulent water, there was also Zhou Yaya's anxious shouting.
"Waterfall, Waterfall !!"
Li Daoxuan looked back in a hurry, only to see that only more than ten meters behind him, all the water had disappeared, and there was a huge roar below.
Even if you haven't seen it yet, you can feel that this waterfall is absolutely extremely high!
Damn, it can't really happen here.
For the first time, Li Daoxuan panicked in his heart, and he was anxiously thinking about what to do.
But this short distance is only more than ten meters, and it rushes over just a breath.
In his hurry, he saw that there seemed to be a long iron chain behind him, directly across the entire river.
Opportunity!
He carried a long knife in his right hand, saw the opportunity, and grabbed the chain directly with his left hand.
But Rao is like this, the huge inertia still carries him, and even the iron chain rushes out a distance of several meters.
He just held the chain tightly, and even though his arm was rolled up and hurt, he didn't dare to let go.
I can't see the waterfall under my feet, but I feel like it's nearly 100 meters away.
If you fall down, I'm afraid you will be immortal or crippled.
He was swept out by the current, but the remaining four pythons that were chasing him also sprang out, as if trying to entangle him again.
After being washed out of the water, he finally saw that these pythons only had one eye!
An eye that grows horizontally in the middle of the head.
Although I don't know what kind of strange snake this is, Li Daoxuan will not let go of this excellent opportunity.
Kill me?
Die for you!
He carried a long knife and slashed sideways.
This knife is not only his full sword, but also the anger and hatred that he has just been hunted down.
The knife flashed.
The four big snake heads were thrown away, and the snake body was still trembling, but after losing control, it had to fall straight into the abyss with the snake head.
Fell into a deep pool at the bottom of this waterfall.
Li Daoxuan took advantage of the reverberating power of this iron chain to return to the icy river again.
He rolled up, his legs also clamped the chains, and finally leaned against his body with the help of his strength.
In this way, it is much simpler to go forward and backward.
Zhou Yaya chased all the way and also came to this shore, and when she saw that Li Daoxuan was temporarily safe, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
But by the light of the fire, she suddenly discovered something.
She pointed to the stone wall on the opposite bank and shouted, "Road! ”
"There's a road over there!"
Li Daoxuan, who was located in the middle of the river, looked up and saw that the place where the waterfall had arrived, and the stone wall had also come to an end, and the stone wall that originally ran north-south turned into an east-west direction, spreading into endless darkness.
And on the top of the cliff, you can faintly see a suspension bridge, the chain held by Li Daoxuan.
It's part of that drawbridge!
The road, on the other side!
Once he found the way, Li Daoxuan gestured to Zhou Yaya, motioning for her to follow the chain to the other side.
He himself climbed forward with his hands and feet.
Climbing a chain is still easy for Li Daoxuan, even if it is blocked by a turbulent river.
Along the chain, he crawled to the opposite side in two clicks.
Stepping on this solid ground again, Li Daoxuan's heart was also much more steady.
As long as it is on the shore, he can do as many snakes as he comes.
Even if it was the dragon-like giant python at the beginning, he was sure to fight one or two, but if he was in the water, he couldn't do anything.
As soon as he thought of the giant python, Li Daoxuan looked at the turbulent river again.
He didn't quite believe that the python that was so big just now would fall into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
So, it's still hiding underwater?
But in that case, why didn't it just make a move?
Li Daoxuan didn't quite understand, and he didn't dare to go into the water to see it, in short, it was best if the other party didn't come forward.
He thought about this time, and Zhou Yaya also went into the water.
She first threw her torches and bags across the twenty or thirty meters across the river, so as not to get soaked when she went into the water.
Many of the things that Li Daoxuan was carrying had been wet, and she had to protect herself.
Xu is that there is really no big snake entrenched in this river, and she came to Li Daoxuan's side all the way without danger.
It's just that she was wearing tight clothes, but now they are all soaked with water and are all attached to her body.
For a while, her already delicate figure was even more prominent.
The upper body can't be regarded as an inverted jade bowl, but two snow peaks.
The back is also round.
The slender waist is only a grip on Yingying.
Li Daoxuan is a man, so there are some things that he can't control, but after a few more glances, he can't take his eyes off.
Zhou Yaya, who was originally fine, suddenly became very embarrassed after feeling his hot gaze again.
But soon, she reacted and sneered, "Don't forget where this is." ”
Li Daoxuan forcibly pushed his head away and looked around, "Pick up some dry firewood, make a fire, and dry your clothes before you go on the road." ”
It's still an ordinary person's body, and Li Daoxuan doesn't dare to bet, in case he is infected with wind and cold underground, it will be a terrible thing.
Fortunately, there were many water and wood rushing on the bank of the underground river, and the two of them picked up a few pieces and quickly lit the fire with torches.
Dry your clothes and eat some dry food.
The two of them came to the drawbridge, and the chains spread straight into the endless darkness ahead.
Chains were attached to the stone walls, nailed, and covered with wooden planks.
Li Daoxuan carried a long knife and stood in front of the floating bridge.
"How many years have this plank been erected here, and it hasn't collapsed yet." Zhou Yaya sighed.
Li Daoxuan also felt a little strange, so he used the long knife in his hand and tapped it on the wooden board with the scabbard.
He didn't use any force, just touched it lightly for a moment.
But Rao is like this, but the first few planks began to collapse directly, at first the first few in front of him.
Then the entire suspended bridge was like a domino, and the planks broke and collapsed one after another, falling into the endless abyss.
I don't know how deep this abyss is, and all the planks that fall into it, and there is not the slightest sound coming out.
"This ......"
Looking at this terrifying scene, Zhou Yaya was a little incredulous.
But fortunately, although the planks fell, there were iron rods connecting the stone wall and the chains.
There is a one-meter gap between each iron bar.
The planks were held in place by these iron rods.
Li Daoxuan knocked on it with a long knife again, and the two collided, making a sound of gold and stone colliding.
"Looks pretty safe."
Zhou Yaya said this, but Li Daoxuan was thinking, under today's social production conditions, what kind of background is it to make such a long iron chain and so many iron rods?
"Tie it up with this, it's safe."
Li Daoxuan said and cut off the rope he was carrying with a knife in two, one for each person.
One end was tied to the body, and the other end was tied to a chain.
Immediately, he pulled the iron chain again and shook it vigorously, and the sound was heard far away, but the iron rod connected to the stone wall did not move at all.
"Safe, go."
As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped on the nearby iron bar, holding the iron chain next to him with his hand as he walked.
The two stepped on this "iron rod bridge" one after the other.
In this kind of place, if there is a slight mistake in the pool, it will be a catastrophe.
But fortunately, both of them are quite athletic, and although they can't walk on the ground in such a place, it's still okay to walk normally.
Zhou Yaya behind her was holding a torch, and the two of them walked quickly, but after a moment's effort, the stone platform when they came was already invisible.
But the loud sound of the waterfall can still be heard.
But I couldn't see the end of the iron rod bridge in front of me, and for a while, it still made people feel a little panicked.
"Hey...... Can you stop shaking so hard? ”
Zhou Yaya's voice behind her trembled a little.
"Huh?"
"I didn't shake it, I thought you were shaking it."
Li Daoxuan was also a little puzzled, and turned his head as he spoke.
As soon as they said this, they both knew what was going on, and they both turned their heads in disbelief.
I looked at the way I came.
But a torch can only illuminate such a small area around it.
I couldn't see what was going on behind the scenes, but the violent shaking was getting stronger and stronger.
Li Daoxuan was thinking at this time, it would be much better if he could have a signal flare from his previous life.
Flick it over, and you can see everything clearly.
"Let's go, let's go faster."
Li Daoxuan immediately said.
Whatever the hell is shaking the chain bridge behind it, it's certainly not a good thing.
After speaking, both of them quickened their pace.
At this moment, they didn't dare to hold on to the iron chain, but they just held on to the stone wall, and Li Daoxuan even sometimes straddled two iron rods.
But Rao was like this, but the feeling of violent shaking did not lessen at all.
"Yes...... It's the python. ”
Zhou Yaya's trembling voice came from behind.
Li Daoxuan slowed down slightly, turned his head to look, and saw that he was about forty or fifty meters behind the two.
I could only vaguely see that a huge snake-like figure was following these iron bars, quickly chasing after the two of them.
"!"
Li Daoxuan subconsciously scolded the quintessence of the country, the emotional thing that hid under the water before did not appear, and did not move, it was waiting for the two of them here.
The chase has already caught up, and the two have no other way but to speed up.
But this place is no better than flat ground, no matter how fast the two of them run, they can't be as fast as the giant python.
The distance between the two is getting shorter.
The difficult thing is that this chain bridge is like there is no end, Li Daoxuan feels that he has run out for at least 100 meters, but he still can't see the end.
"Nope."
"If we continue like this, we will be caught up sooner or later."
Just when Li Daoxuan wanted Zhou Yaya to go forward, he went to meet the giant python, but overheard her say:
"Former ...... It's the end of the day. ”
"Huh?!"
Li Daoxuan also saw that about thirty meters in front of him, a stone platform finally appeared, and this long iron chain ended at that stone platform.
There seemed to be a hole behind the stone platform, and a dim light shone through it.
But just when Li Daoxuan thought he saw hope, behind the stone platform, a figure suddenly walked out.
In the backlight, he couldn't really see it, but he could only see that the figure was wearing iron armor and holding a horse chopping knife.
He is tall and tall.
It's at least three meters tall.
He faced Li Daoxuan and them, and suddenly waved the horse chopping knife in his hand and slashed at the chain.
With just one knife, the iron chain connecting the entire pontoon bridge was cut by him, and in the midst of the fire, Li Daoxuan saw his face clearly.
No...... That's a stone statue!
A moving stone statue.
But after reacting, Li Daoxuan was thinking, what really plays a fixed role in this pontoon bridge is these iron rods, what is the use of cutting the iron chains?
But in the next moment, he was not confused, not bothered.
Because when the chains were cut, all the rods fell off.
In other words, the pontoon bridge was cut off from one end by a stone statue.
The entire bridge fell straight towards the endless abyss, and Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya were still on the pontoon bridge here.
"Fuck."
"Hold on to the chains!"
Li Daoxuan has only one thought in his heart at the moment, that is, no matter what, this ancient tomb must be overturned! (End of chapter)
