Chapter 63: Three Thousand Bone Eaters in Weak Water
The cave was exactly as expected.
To everyone's surprise, the cave was very dry, the ground was soft and white sand, and the stone walls were embedded with countless fluorescent stones, so you could see the surroundings without torches.
Everyone walked all the way down the cave, all the way, but after a while, they finally came to a place that was extremely wide.
"Look, General!" a breeze blew on his face, and someone's eyes lit up, pointing ahead.
Everyone hurriedly rushed over to take a look, and it turned out to be an underground river.
This underground river is also peculiar - everyone walked to the riverbank, and the river was a cliff, and the river was twenty feet away from the straight cliff, and the river was dead and calm, but a little flow could be seen.
Looking up further, on the top of the mountain, which is fifteen or sixteen zhang high from the ground, it is densely covered with slender and pointed stalactites, each of which is about five or six zhang long, and the end of the stalactites is pointed, shining with a mysterious scarlet luster.
The river is wide, and when you look at it from the opposite side, it is a full fifty zhang. Drops of blood-colored water dripped from the stalactites and fell into the river.
Although everyone is the king, they will never be able to fly over such a long river, but even if the realm of the realm master can fly through, the height of this mountain top and the stalactites also tell everyone not to think about this idea again, otherwise once the slender stalactites touch one, the rest will fall one after another, and before it passes, it will be nailed into a sieve by the falling stalactites.
"Come and see, General!!" someone shouted.
At this shout, the sound echoed in the cave, and suddenly there was a jingling sound in the cave, and when everyone looked up, their hearts were raised to their throats.
It turned out that the stalactites were shaking!
Xiang Zhong was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover this person's mouth and pointed to it, and when this person saw it, his face turned white.
Everyone walked to the riverbank where the man was, and looked down, and sure enough, there was a natural stone step that was hand-hewn by the river, and the steps went down to the water and disappeared.
"You see there is such a staircase on the other side, maybe it is because the water has risen, and this staircase has been submerged, as long as we walk into the water, we must be able to go to the front, as long as we keep going forward, we can get out of this cave. Xiang Zhong said with a laugh, and as he spoke, he asked everyone to get out of the way, took off his burned clothes, and prepared to go into the water.
Yi Shaocheng glanced at his eyes and happened to see three words engraved on the mountain wall in the corner.
Weak water rivers.
He was stunned, grabbed Xiang Zhong and dragged him over.
"General?!" Xiang Zhong didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Yi Shaocheng.
Yi Shaocheng glanced at everyone, and everyone saw those three words, and a sentence suddenly came to their minds-
"Eight hundred quicksand boundaries, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and the bottom of the reed lake sinks. ”
At that moment, someone took out a shuttlecock, this thing is a unique shuttlecock in the Dian Kingdom, it is said to be made of the down feathers of special birds, extremely light, take a handful in the air will swing naturally, fall down.
This person handed the shuttlecock to Yi Shaocheng, and his eyes were extremely reluctant.
Yi Shaocheng took a look at it and knew that this brother must be planning to leave this shuttlecock to the children at home. So he only took a handful, smiled, and threw the shuttlecock to the man.
Everyone looked at Yi Shaocheng, Yi Shaocheng walked down step by step, and when he reached a place near the water, he put this handful of fluff that flew at any time on the water.
Suddenly, the fluff sank straight down like lead and iron!
Everyone changed their faces again, and they all looked at Xiang Chong, very afraid, fortunately they didn't go down, or they wouldn't be able to come up.
"You can't spend it like this" Xiang Zhong frowned and said: "This water is too light, take a rope, I have good water quality, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"Don't go. Yi Shaocheng shook his head and frowned: "Find another way." ”
"General, please listen to me, you are now seriously injured and have not recovered, and the fire outside has been poured into this place because of the direction of the wind, and when the fire is almost burned, those people will find this place, and they will all die by then. It's all old brothers here, and I know that only I'm the best in water. ”
Xiang Zhong has always been very credible, and everyone has nothing to refute, although Yi Shaocheng is a little worried in his heart, he doesn't know what to say.
After a pause, Xiang Zhong said again: "If there is really a problem with this water, if the general goes down, then the dragons will be leaderless, and the remaining brothers will only have a dead end." If something happens to me......"
"Don't say anything unlucky, shut your beak!" someone shouted in a low voice.
After the man finished speaking, he untied the trouser belt made of snake bone rope from his waist, and took out his own weapon, which was also an extremely slender chain, tied in twos and twos, and it had a length of one and a half zhang, and the rest of the people either took out the head rope or took out the trouser belt, and all of them were tied together, and condensed into a solid rope nearly twelve zhang long.
"Wait for me to have good news. ”
Xiang Zhong grinned, and the huge man's face was filled with a radiance. He tied the rope three times, firmly, and then smiled at everyone, but they looked at him nervously, and for some reason they couldn't laugh. When it was tied, Yi Shaocheng thought that one circle was too little, so he had to add two more circles, which became three circles, and the rest of the people were not at ease, so they wanted to add it, but they were rejected.
In Xiang Zhong's words, he is not a pig who has been immersed in a pig cage, and he has done so much to tie up.
Xiang Zhong stepped into the river, everyone held the rope tightly, and as he stepped in step by step, he finally took a sharp breath and disappeared on the surface of the river, and everyone's hearts instantly lifted.
As the rope was released from everyone's hands little by little, the weight of the underwater Xiang also dived down little by little.
There are still steps underneath the water, and the steps stretch into the darkness deeper into the water, as if endlessly. On the cliffs around the bottom of the water, there are glowing fluorite crystals, although there are not many, but they can barely make people see the surrounding scene. As he went deeper and deeper, the stairs suddenly broke, so he dived straight down.
As a result, he found that when he walked down the underwater steps and dived, the pressure on his body suddenly became extremely large, and his bones hurt.
I thought it would be good to turn around and leave, and surface.
"No, if I don't find out, won't I return in vain. Further down there may be discoveries. Brother Yi is a hot-blooded and sincere person, he could have walked away with the general's inheritance, but now he has to fall into such a situation in order to avenge the general, it is really difficult for him. ”
As soon as he thought about something, he strengthened his confidence to continue.
"If you really want to die, it's also our gang, after all, we have all received the greatest favor from General Snapdragon, and Brother Yi is different, he doesn't have to wade into this muddy water...... He has more important things, yes, even for him, I'm going to stick to it. ”
Xiang Zhong thought to himself, he continued to dig deeper, and it didn't take long for him to be pleasantly surprised to find that a little white light appeared under the water.
What is that?
Xiang Zhong hurriedly went deeper, and as he went deeper, the white light became bigger and brighter, until not long after, he suddenly found that he had finally reached the bottom of the river.
The white light he saw was a skeleton.
The skeleton was lying at the bottom of the river, surrounded by the same red filamentous flowers that he had seen in the Sea of Skulls, but the flowers here were blooming incomparably brightly, as if they were dripping blood, and they were growing and blooming one by one at a speed that he could see with his naked eye.
At this moment, his eyes were completely filled with this vision.
......
The people on the riverbank felt more and more uneasy as the rope continued to lengthen, especially when it was five or six feet long, and suddenly felt that the bottom became heavy and abnormal. Until the rope was almost finished, the heaviness suddenly paused, as if it had bottomed out. Then, after a few breaths, the people felt that the end of the rope was lighter, lighter, lighter.
Suddenly they were overjoyed, knowing that this was Xiang Zhong coming up, and hurriedly collected the rope.
One zhang, two zhang, three zhang...... Finally, it's almost above the water.
Yi Shaocheng asked everyone to grab the rope and ran to the place near the water, preparing to pull Xiang Zhong up when he came out of the water.
But at last the rope was pulled up, and the end of the rope was out of the water.
