Chapter 219: The Deep Well (2)
The hand stretched out from the crack in the stone grabbed Yu Ling's hair and kept pulling, and Yu Ling screamed in fright.
Jiang Yuan looked back in surprise:
"You've been in contact with demons for so long, and you're still scared?"
Yu Ling shouted in horror:
"Childe, help me!"
Jiang Yuan reluctantly stretched out his hand, grabbed the wrist that twisted his arm, and broke the fingers that grabbed it by Yu Ling's hair one by one.
Then Jiang Yuan grabbed that arm and pulled it back sharply.
The arm was suddenly withdrawn from the crack in the stone, and by the light of the fire, it was discovered that it was a demon with one arm all over its body.
The five fingers of the demon have eyes on their heads, and in the palm of their hands are a mouth full of tiny fangs like steel needles.
Jiang Yuan shook the demon in his hand at Yu Ling angrily:
"See, this is just a weak demon ghost, whose strength is too far behind Aunt Hong, but it can make you so afraid. You're really ....... It's useless!"
It wasn't until her arm left her hair that Yu Ling settled down a little:
"Childe, I'm sorry ......"
"Don't always apologize to me!" Jiang Yuan said in annoyance, "Don't you want to be brave yourself? ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and stuffed the arm demon into his mouth and ate it one bite at a time.
Then, Jiang Yuan continued to crawl forward along the hole.
Yu Ling blamed herself more and more in her heart, the demon ghost with that arm really couldn't hurt her, but just now in this gloomy environment, she was so scared that she became a frightened bird at the slightest movement.
Although she spent two nights with the demons, Aunt Hong's group of demons and ghosts were all raised by her son, so Yu Ling was not too afraid of them.
And now, the demons here, the darkness here, and the crampedness and depression here still make Yu Ling unable to adapt.
But soon she gritted her teeth:
"I will definitely work hard! I will never let Childe down again!"
Immediately, Yu Ling also settled down and followed Jiang Yuan and crawled forward.
The low tunnel wasn't very long, and it didn't take long for the two to climb out.
Because there was also a lot of water in the low tunnel, the two of them were covered in mud at this time.
Fortunately, neither of them extinguished the torches.
What appeared in front of me was a stone chamber, but the stone chamber had two black hole exits, one on the left and one on the right, which were two deep and dark mines.
Looking at the two choices, Jiang Yuan said:
"Let's go one by one and explore separately. ”
Yu Ling thought of being alone in this kind of mine, and couldn't help but say:
"Childe, I'm ......"
Jiang Yuan turned around:
"Don't you dare?"
Yu Ling gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously:
"I dare!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and took out the fragment of the Evil Spirit Mirror from his arms:
"Remember, this is what I'm looking for. And one more thing, don't look in the mirror!"
It was not clear whether the Evil Spirit Mirror could capture Yu Ling's soul Jiang Yuan, so he could only remind him.
Yu Ling stared at the back of the Evil Spirit Mirror for a while, remembering its features.
Jiang Yuan casually chose a mine road to step into, and stopped before entering.
If you want Yu Ling to be loyal to herself, should she be gentle and not too impersonal?
So he turned back and said:
"Yu Ling, if you encounter danger, don't force it. Run to my side and I'll help you. ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan bent down and drilled into the mine, and the light in the torch was gradually fading away.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's last words, Yu Ling only felt that her heart was full of warmth.
For a moment, she didn't seem to be as scared as before.
Yu Ling drilled into another alleyway and gradually moved towards the depths.
She walked very slowly, observing her surroundings very carefully, for fear of missing something that Childe needed.
Although she didn't know what the use of Childe wanted something like a crystal mirror fragment, she knew that it was Childe's explanation, and she must do it herself.
The mine road made Yu Ling have to keep hunching forward, and the most terrible thing was that there was constantly seepage dripping on the mine.
Water droplets fell on the torches with a sizzling sound, making the torches even darker.
Yu Ling was shocked and hurriedly and carefully guarded the torch.
Despite her caution, the torches were extinguished when she passed a curtain of water that had become so much seeping that she had passed.
Darkness suddenly rushed towards Yu Ling from all directions.
"It's dark! I can't see it!"
Yu Ling was frightened.
She was so frightened that she groped around, and after a fall, she could no longer tell which side was the way and which was the way.
Fear welled up in her heart, and at this time, she began to be afraid and began to want to cry.
"No, I can't be afraid, I don't want to cry again!
She began to calm herself down and think about what to do.
She quickly remembered that her eyes were special and she was perfectly capable of night vision. Even in the depths of the mines, darkness could not stop her from seeing.
So she opened her closed eyes, their narrow pupils glowing with a faint blue glow.
The heavy stone walls greatly obstructed her vision, preventing her from seeing too far, but she was no longer afraid of the dark.
"Isn't it just a little darker, and it's not a big deal...... I'm strong, I can't be afraid of the dark!"
Yu Ling cheered herself up, she quickly recognized the way out, and began to move forward forward.
At this time, the line of sight is far clearer than when the torch is held.
Yu Ling could clearly see the stone cracks, the shallow drainage ditches on both sides of the mine, the moss on the stone walls, and even some blackened bloodstains.
Her senses are becoming more and more sensitive, and she can capture the smells around her and the movement of the air clearly.
She even felt a faint heat source through the stone wall, which was getting farther and farther behind the stone wall, more and more blurred.
She knew that it was Jiang Yuan, and when she felt that Jiang Yuan was still moving slowly, Yu Ling knew that he was not in danger on his side, and she was immediately relieved.
Yu Ling began to find that she had completely adapted to the use of torches, and at this time, she realized that her senses were so sensitive, and the world seemed to have become a different way in her eyes.
She began to like this feeling, and at the same time, she became more and more grateful to Jiang Yuan.
If Jiang Yuan hadn't forced her to move forward alone in the mine, she wouldn't have found out that she was in this state at all, and she would always be just that little girl who was so cowardly that she could only rely on others.
Along the way, Yu Ling also began to feel that it was not as difficult as she imagined.
The terrain of the tunnel began to grow lower, forming an inclined shaft that led down as if it could lead deep underground.
When she was able to see in the dark, Yu Ling did not have the fear of facing the unknown, and she walked towards the inclined shaft without hesitation.
The slope is gentle at first, but it gets steeper and steeper at the end.
There was a rope for people to stabilize their body, but for some reason it was broken, and only a small section was still fixed at the wellhead.
But whether there is a rope or not, it makes no difference to Yu Ling.
Although her hands seem to be white and tender, they are extremely strong and tenacious.
Her hands were like hooks, and she was able to firmly grasp the stone wall of the slope, so that Yu Ling could easily go down the slope.
I don't know how long I have been climbing down the inclined shaft, and the black stagnant water has flooded the bottom of the inclined shaft.
"No way?"
Yu Ling's eyes were intent, looking towards the black stagnant water.
Her vision quickly pierced the water, seeing some rusty digging tools underneath, and then a cave in the water.
It can be seen that this was originally an abandoned mine due to stagnant water, but there are traces of new excavation near the cave.
The diggings were sharp and neat, as if they had been dug out by the claws of some animal.
There are more places that Yu Ling's vision cannot reach, so she can only explore them in person.
Yu Ling took a deep breath, and then burrowed into the cold stagnant water.
In the water, she soon discovered another potential for herself, which was to swim as agile as a fish.
She quickly came to the outside of the cave in the water and looked inside for a while.
The water swelled, and a mass of black hair fluttered out of the cavern that could be entered by one person.
In the ripples of the stagnant water, the hair looked like a living black snake, slowly wriggling and spreading in the water.
Yu Ling hesitated, she brushed away the clump of hair with her hand, and then burrowed into the cave.
The excavation in the cave was uneven and very narrow, and many sharp points even cut through Yu Ling's deerskin jacket.
I don't know how long I swam in the long cave, and a bend suddenly appeared in front of me.
As soon as Yu Ling turned the corner, a miserable white and terrifying face suddenly appeared in front of her face.
The face was wrapped in a thick cloud of black hair, and its eyes and mouth were wide open.
Yu Ling was so frightened that her scalp was numb, and she immediately punched her in the face.
The tremendous force knocked that face to shreds, and white and red slurry spread through the water.
It turned out to be nothing more than a dead body.
The corpse seemed to have a longer distance behind it, and after being punched, the corpse was beaten and floated backwards, and then hung in a narrow cavern.
The cave was so small that Yu Ling couldn't bypass the dead corpses at all.
She could only swim ahead of her, pushing the corpse's face and moving on.
On the corpse's sparse face, the red ** liquid continued to diffuse in the water, which made Yu Ling so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
After swimming for a while, the current suddenly became violent, and the surrounding space suddenly became larger.
After coming out of the underwater cave, I came to an underground river.
Yu Ling glanced around with her eyes, and she found that there was an empty grotto around her.
She hurriedly kicked the dead body away, and swam towards the shore of the underground river.
After swimming ashore, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a big breath.
She didn't need much air, but the oppression under the water gave her the illusion that she was about to suffocate.
She has a new understanding of herself, but she didn't expect that she would really be able to go all the way, which was completely unimaginable before.
She thought of Jiang Yuan again, and her heart was full of warmth and gratitude.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded:
"After the bloodline of the snake, the person who serves the demons, the body of the curse of sin, why did he come here?"
The voice is dull and majestic, and the momentum is overwhelming.
