Chapter 2 The Mysterious Lake

Professor You was stunned for a moment, and also felt that something was wrong, so he took out the bronze mirror in his arms and saw that it was pitch black, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

"Strange...... Shouldn't it?" the old man wondered.

"Could it be, that kid is dead?" asked Honghong with a wink.

"Impossible! How can they die if they have set a route, unless they are pigs!" Professor You rolled his eyes solemnly.

"What's wrong with that, haven't they already gotten the Rat Rakshasa Mask?" asked Honghong with a frown.

Professor You shook his head silently, and after a long silence, he said to Sasha, "You go, run again, and show me what's going on?"

Sasha nodded, turned and left the room......

......

After a crack in the hall, countless bones and gravel fell into the ditch, and there were a few unlucky cats.

The rest of the survivors were all nested in the cracks, the birds were quietly squinting, they couldn't hear Jiang Ming's instructions, they didn't dare to move, and there was a deathly silence all around!

Jiang Ming leaned in front of the ravine, looked down, couldn't see anything clearly in the dark space, under the light of the fire of the king of Hades, faintly... You can see that there is a fluttering red spot on the water surface, which is your own reflection, and from the size of the light spot, it is almost the same as originally imagined, this place..... It's deep!

It seems that the so-called ground fissure is not a direct crack in the ground, because the edge of the ravine is very shallow, and it feels ..... It's more like a shell, it turns out ..... Under this collapsed arched hall, there is still a vast space!

The cat's claws were picked at the edge, Jiang Ming was a little afraid of heights, and his body shrank back slightly, what he was worried about now was that this "floor slab" was not strong enough, and if it collapsed again and then fell into the water, the consequences would be unimaginable...... Who knows what's in this water?

Listening to the voice just now, King Kong Lao Wu has fallen, according to that guy's character, he will not not call unless...... It's dead.

Jiang Ming's heart palpitated, and the golden rat-faced mask looked like a devil..... Able to manipulate the landslide and fissure, it escaped into the blackwater lake...... I don't know what the terrible consequences will be.....? Let Professor You deal with that evil thing, now it seems...... It's still too simple to think for yourself!

A gust of cold wind blew in, and the "fresh" air made Jiang Ming's brain much better, and his mood gradually stabilized, so he didn't have to worry about being suffocated by lack of oxygen. Seem...... All the way from the tree hole is illusory, and the predicament in front of you, this blocked hall hole, and the vast underground lake are the real reality, and everything is not transferred by the will of the Hades fire!

It's whether the mask is not a mask! The immediate priority is to get out as soon as possible, but ..... What is in this vast underground lake? Like a swamp that swallows life, how can we escape all the way in the direction of air circulation?

Jiang Ming was thinking, should he ...... Four claws grabbed the top surface of the "floor crust" and hung upside down..... It's too dangerous, and although the cat's claws are sharp, they are not iron hooks for climbing, not to mention that the rock formation is very strong, and it is difficult to dig out holes......

He pulled a piece of a human mandible, threw it into the ravine, a little.... There was the sound of falling water, followed by a dead silence, and as he continued, he threw down another smashed skeleton, which was also a normal "coo" sound, and there was no other movement......

Jiang Ming was not bored, he was listening and analyzing carefully, trying to find out why King Kong Lao Wu didn't even have time to scream, is there any terrible creature hiding in this dark water......?

The first thing that the brain makes up is a piranha or the like, but even if it is a piranha, there should be a fluttering sound, the old five are living creatures, and they will not be annihilated in an instant.

"Old... Brother, is that you?" came the voice of Heihuaqiang through the cracks in the hall, its timbre trembled, and its voice was full of endless despair.

"Big brother, it's me," Jiang Ming responded.

As soon as Jiang Ming spoke, all the hidden cats meowed again, only this time, they were not as optimistic as before, they were trembling and palpitating, and their souls were completely swallowed by fear.

"Dude..... Just now, I heard you muttering to a human female..... Then the earth cracked, who is she...... Can you get us out?" asked Heihua timidly.

"Ahem!" Jiang Ming let out a long sigh: "It's that mask, it can speak." ”

"Can talk? Oh my God! .....What are you talking about?Is this earth cracking??" Black Flower Qiang doubts life, and the mask can still speak......

"Big brother, it's a long story for a child to talk about a mother, in fact..... I don't understand what it says, this earth cracks, it's her power, not my control," Jiang Ming said helplessly.

"But...... I obviously heard that you spoke the same language as her, and after you finished speaking, she smiled......" Hei Huaqiang felt incredible.

"Big brother, please believe me, I didn't lie to you...... Please count the number of people again, the fifth child and a few guys seem to have fallen into the ditch just now," Jiang Ming changed the topic, at this time he was very disappointed, he failed to protect everyone, and let a few brothers die.

After the second count, there were three cats that did not respond, and the team was reduced from nine "people" to six "people" again, and this also included Fat Tangerine and Hua Dan, who were smashed under the rocks and had lost their ability to move, and there were only four cats that could really act!

Such a tragic situation made Heihuaqiang lose confidence, Jiang Ming heard that in the rock crevices not far away, Brother Qiang kept sighing, this time, I am afraid that he really can't get out.

"Brother Qiang, don't be discouraged, you want to die..... Let's not die here!!The cracks in the ground have cracked, and a lot of messy things have fallen, and the space has expanded a bit, let's get together! Don't throw a single brother!Including fat oranges and flower eggs!" Jiang Ming said to Brother Qiang.

"Ahem..... Brother, it's all my fault...... I have to go to Sasha, if... Ahem......"

"Brother, now is not the time to complain, even if we are only one of us, we have to rush out!"

Jiang Ming interrupted Hei Huaqiang's words and once again encouraged everyone not to give up the confidence to escape!

"Woo!" Fat Orange Meow cried out, and the flower eggs, they were extremely moved, but they didn't expect that at such a moment, Brother Ming was still thinking about them.

A large number of rubble skeletons slipped off...... The broken boulder is blocked, and the space for trapping the cats is indeed much more spacious than before, this small benefit has a small benefit, even if there is only one left, it is enough for the cats to turn around and move, Jiang Ming scratched and pulled, and Heihuaqiang first realized the meeting, and then rescued everyone one by one.

Even the cats were rescued, and they ..... along the way Several bodies of brothers were also found, and the cats gathered together, all of them sad and weeping, originally ..... Eliminated the skeletons in Jingguan, everyone sang all the way, just go, you have to pick up that crystal coffin, causing a big disaster!

"Ahem......" Heihua Qiang sighed for a long time, feeling a lot older all of a sudden, and his eyes were empty.

King Nanyuan said: "Brother Ming, listen to the movement, it seems to be water below, let's ......"

Jiang Ming knew what it meant, and said with a wry smile: "This water is not simple, the old five they fell, there was no movement at all, the ghost knows what was in the water, so don't think about taking the waterway, not to mention that it is a pool of stagnant water, and there is no flow at all." ”

"There is fresh air blowing in, I can smell it, and there is a slight smell ......of grass and trees," said the sixth child, who also belongs to the tanuki, and has a stronger nose than ordinary cats.

The paralyzed flower egg said: "That's not the smell of grass and trees, it's something moldy......

"Okay, stop arguing, let the elder brother say!" Hei Huaqiang said a little upset, then looked at Jiang Ming with a resolute expectant face, and said, "Brother, everyone believes in you, give me an idea." ”

Jiang Ming groaned slightly: "I have a hunch that the water below here is very dangerous! Although I can hear the sound of grunting, but the living creature will not move when it falls, it is like falling into a swamp, so the more appropriate way at present is that I will first climb down the fault, explore a little bit, and then find a way out, and then come back to pick everyone up." ”

"You... Why are you crawling, hanging upside down?" Heihuaqiang couldn't believe it.

Jiang Ming let out a long sigh: "Big brother, so far, it can only be like this, we will not stay in this place of less than one square meter forever, and we will starve to death if we are hungry, this kind of situation, we can't just wait." ”

The cats looked at each other, their faces showing fear! Although what Brother Ming said made sense, at least... It's safe now, go down, or crawl backwards..... Just thinking about it makes me hairy.

Hei Huaqiang shook his head and said: "No, brother, it's too dangerous, the kind of way you said, we also played it when we were young, it doesn't work at all, we are not flies, we can't crawl upside down." ”

Jiang Ming smiled slightly bitterly: "Big brother, don't worry, I'm not an ordinary cat..... It shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Jiang Ming said, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, in this desperate situation, it was useless to wait and see, only by moving forward could there be a glimmer of life. His current strength is still there, and he should be fine moving forward with his claws to pick at the rock formation.

"Brother, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities, it's just ..... It's really too dangerous, and instead of that, let's dig a hole and walk through it......," Black Flower said bitterly.

Jiang Ming said: "Brother Qiang, do you remember..... When we first came in? There was a mountain above us, how high it was, you knew in your heart, now it's blocked, go up..... I can't get out, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"But..... Brother Ming, if you leave, what will we do? What if you ......" King Nanyuan muttered in a frightened whisper.

"You sister just thinks about yourself!" Black Flower glared at it viciously, and the frightened Nanyuan King shrank back.

"Don't worry, third child, I'll be fine! Moreover, I won't leave everyone behind, I'll just go down and take a look," Jiang Ming comforted.

The time of the method of strength is only one hour, that is, two hours! Now I guess ..... There is still plenty of time, if you find a way out, find out the situation below, and then return to save everyone, it should be no problem, your own claws drill holes one by one, lighting to guide the way, let everyone escape along its "footprints", fingernails picking, it seems to ..... It should be able to do the same.

At this moment, we have to consider these extreme countermeasures, and if we want to survive, we must turn the impossible into possible!

Jiang Ming bent his waist and crawled down little by little, he tried hard to drill the rock layer with his fingernails, his big head down, and slowly drilled down, all the cats, their hearts were raised to their throats, and they couldn't imagine what would happen next......

Not to mention, the strong Hades Huo, the nails are very sharp, as if he is the existence of "superman", before Jiang Ming only used the thinking of ordinary cats to examine the operability, so his thinking was limited. Now it seems that it is not difficult to try it for himself, and it seems that it is not difficult to chisel through this uneven and jagged shell rock with his fingernails, and soon he will come to the lower edge of the "earth's crust".

However, when it looked up and looked "forward", it was instantly dumbfounded, its body trembled, and it almost didn't fall!
