Hong Qili was the second to enter the water gate, and he and Teng Chuliang took the lead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They came again to a tunnel paved with granite stone slabs, unlike the previous one, where the slabs were cut roughly, with a high top and arched.

There was a vibration under his feet, and the old man with the green beard immediately became alert, such a hard stone slab actually "vibrate", indicating that the problem was big, and he said: "My lord, we must move forward as soon as possible!"

Chris can imagine what happened in the miniature "Song City", the three small fireballs that Teng Chuliang shot out just now, one attracted a big fireball, one collided with a big fireball, and one flew directly to the Guanfu District, it was a matter of time before he encountered a building, and then it would inevitably attract a new "heavenly punishment", no one would put out the fire, the fireballs would continue to fly out, and the entire city would be destroyed. Judging by the loud rumbling noise, it was not only the "city" that would be destroyed, and as a result, they were in an extremely dangerous situation.

However, after all, they are still alive.

Wang Shu noticed that one of the soldiers was walking with a severe limp, only to find that the soldiers were more or less injured.

Today, there will be a sailor on the island, and he left the blue-armored beast-faced soldiers around him to go to meet him, and the fanfare on the Scorpion Island is nothing more than to lure away the captain of the escort team and part of the troops, but he didn't expect that because of his willfulness, so many of them died. He didn't hold Tuwa, he didn't fulfill his promise to the old man, he shook his head, put aside these remorse, and regained his composure and strength, because he had to focus on preserving the lives of the remaining people.

He stepped forward to support the lame soldier, and the soldier was surprised, Wang Shu grabbed his arm and put it on his shoulder, and said loudly: "We must speed up ......"

A thunderous roar interrupted him, and as Chris had expected, the microcity was reduced to ruins above their heads.

After facing the terrifying scorpion swarm and the huge scorpion just now, there was no time to think about what would happen if they died here? Now people thought of dying, not in battle, but to be buried alive.

After a moment of speeding up, the granite stone slabs on both sides disappeared, and the rock walls glowed with a faint blue light, depicting a path leading to the distance, and the entire tunnel glowed softly.

This is a lot like the tunnel structure you first entered, Chris thought to himself.

Sure enough, they didn't take more than ten steps, Hong Qili and Teng Chuliang saw a pool of blue circular ground again.

Remembering that the scorpion had come out of such a "puddle", Chris sounded a wake-up call in his heart. Although the fireball destroyed the scorpion in the micro city, who knows if there is any other place, she shouted, "Don't stop, don't touch that blue thing." ”

The aftermath of the tremors struck again, this time more intensely than the previous one, the vaults of the tunnels twisted, and many crooked cracks appeared in the walls. Through the glittering mica-like minerals in the rock matrix, dust can be seen flying everywhere.

The two men at the head quickened their pace, and the blue light seeping through the tunnel gradually disappeared, and the team entered an even deeper darkness. Chris followed, Xiong Daiying carried the injured middle-aged man on his back, Qin Yujiu, Wang Xu, and Chang Yutong carried the wounded soldiers, and then Ning Yifei and Yin Chen. Several female Taoist priests fell last, and the old man with the green beard couldn't pretend not to hear the sobs coming from behind him, so he deliberately slowed down.

"How?" he asked in as unemotional tone as possible.

"Senior sister's situation is not good......" Gao Liang'er carried Mai Xiu on her back, she knew her senior sister's situation best, and her senior sister's body temperature was too high.

Zi Ling in the back cried: "If you hadn't saved me, Senior Sister wouldn't have been injured......"

Bei Sanqi, who Mi Yu was carrying, opened his mouth and said, "Out of here, the old man can help your senior sister take a look." ”

Zi Ling wiped away his tears and nodded.

The old man with the green beard sighed and said, "Hurry up, judging from the sound coming from above, we don't have much time to waste." So saying, he hurried forward.

The ground of the tunnel began to tilt, and the road in front of it was a cave that led directly to the ground, Hong Qili jumped down first, Teng Chuliang waited for a while, and heard two whistles, which were the "safety" signals he had agreed with Hong Qili, he turned around and said to everyone: "Follow down!" Then, he jumped down.

Chris slid down after him, and everyone quickly slipped into the darkness one by one.

After a long time of free sliding, finally sliding into a dimly lit underground cavern.

Chris caught a glimpse of a faint light, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the fire fold in Hong Qili's hand, and he tried his best to protect it with his hands, but there was wind below, and the humidity was extremely high, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

Everyone fell one after another and came behind them.

"This should be a dry waterway, and with such a heavy dampness, there must be a source of water ahead. Teng Chuliang said.

Hong Qili said: "Looking at it by the light just now, it seems that this is not small below, let's go here first." ”

Facing the direction the wind was blowing, they walked all the way forward.

There was no light in the cavern, except for the sound of the damp wind passing through the confined space, and there was a dead silence.

There was no lighting, and the wounded stumbled under their feet and walked with difficulty. Because of the darkness all around, the pressure in people's hearts continues to increase. Someone noticed something crawling on the surface of their feet, instinctively shouted and kicked their feet, and the thing dodged to the side, and quickly escaped, sounding like a rat in a cave. Maybe something smaller than a mouse can trigger inexplicable fear in people's hearts at this moment.

When Wang Shu began to worry that the soldiers were getting out of control, the dirt under his feet became muddy, and the rumbling sound of water was heard in his ears.

The people who were trying to survive were anxious and quickened the pace of their feet.

In the distance, an underground river appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the water gushed out and steamed.

Although it was dark and the road was muddy, the people who had traveled all the way, with dry mouths, rushed steeply to the riverbed, and they all lay down on the river to drink water.

Because he had to discern the direction, Hong Qili had to work hard to blow the fire fold, and then asked Ning Yifei to help protect it.

Teng Chuliang quickly observed and discussed the next direction with Wang Xu.

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with going down the waterway. Wang Shu asked, "The question is from which side can I get back outside?"

The river stretches on both sides, with no end in sight. Moreover, the river bank was relatively wide at the intersection where they stood, and no matter which road was chosen, the bank of the road ahead became narrower and narrower, and finally disappeared into the water, and on both sides were hard rock walls, which seemed to be about to wade.

Regarding the choice of which road, Chris had just identified the direction, and she interjected: "The upstream and downstream of the river can be judged from the direction of the water flow, and the trend of the river should be ......."

Halfway through their words, someone exclaimed, "There seems to be something in the water." ”

Everyone heard an unusual noise in the water, and the splash kept lapping against the riverbank, and a huge black shadow swam from the water.

"Get out of the water!" Hong Qili shouted as he rushed over.

The people, who were already like frightened birds, retreated from the water's edge one by one as if they were fleeing for their lives.

The soldier, who had been wounded in the foot, got up in a hurry, lost his center of gravity at once, and fell into the water, and the black shadow in the water seemed to beckon him, which made him feel creepy for a moment.

Hong Qili passed sideways through the cracks, he carried the back of the collar of the soldier who almost fell into the water, and retreated backwards, and there was a sound of tearing clothes, he only felt a behemoth passing by, if he took a slow step, the person would be swept into the water.

Teng Chuliang lit a fire at the same time, because the brightness was limited, and no one could see what it was.

In the blink of an eye, waves of water rolled up, and the black shadow was hidden in the water again.

Someone asked, his voice trembling a little: "What kind of monster is it?"

Everyone felt fear in their hearts, especially after what had just happened.

Hong Qili thought to himself: I was picked up by the tail of the thing in the water just now, and I felt that it had thick and solid skin, and there were many raised hard objects on it. Judging from the sound, it is at least one or two zhang long.

Afraid of causing even greater panic, Hong Qili returned to Lord Wang and whispered to him what he saw and heard.

Wang Shu made a difficulty, and wanted to go out along the waterway, but he didn't think that there were fierce water beasts in the water, and who would dare to go into the water now.

In the face of the threat in the water, Chris also felt powerless, and what he wanted to say just now was taken back to his mouth. Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of "puff puff", which was a signal that she had taught Xiong Daiying that "something was wrong". She withdrew from the crowd and searched for the voice.

"What's wrong?"

Xiong Daiying whispered in her ear: "Master, come and take a look." ”

Along the river with jagged boulders on one side and granite on the other, the two walked upstream of the river, and in front of them was a ribbon of gravel beach, and in the darkness there was a humane: "This way." ”

Listening to the voice is Yin Chen.

Chris took a step forward only to find herself stepping into the water, and she immediately stopped thinking of the water monster just now.

"Why are big men so timid?" Yin Chen sneered.

With a pout, Chris lifted his breath, turned over and jumped in the direction of Yin Chen. As soon as I hit the ground, my feet shook slightly, as if I was floating on water.

"Boat?" the first instinct told her.

Yin Chen said: "It's a strange boat, there are no oars, and there is no boat support. ”

Xiong Daiying also jumped up.

Chris stretched out his hand and asked him for the fire fold, Xiong Daiying touched his body, and then remembered that when he was after the scorpion, the fire fold was thrown out by himself in a hurry.

Yin Chen took one out of his arms and blew it up.

"Give it to me!" Chris was not polite at all, and eagerly snatched the fire fold from Yin Chen's hand.

She carefully held the fire fold, and the general appearance of the ship was revealed.

Xiong Daiying felt that the boat was boxy, so he said: "This is like a raft, but how can you sail without a support?"

With a "huh", Chris then walked towards the back of the boat. Xiong Daiying and Yin Chen also leaned over to take a look, only to see a huge iron wing inlaid in the stern of the boat, and the structure inside was very strange.

Chris looked surprised and surprised, and exclaimed, "Flying on the grass?"

Xiong Daiying asked, "This boat is called 'Flying on the Grass'?"

Yin Chen said disdainfully: "You didn't make up a name temporarily, did you?"

Chris raised her eyebrows, now that she knew the answer, she didn't want to engage in more verbal battles. She fixed her eyes on the boat and looked around. The rectangular hull with a few rows of wooden chairs in the middle, and a huge leaf spiral in the stern...... I don't just know it, it's exactly the same as a "flying on the grass" wind boat sailing in the Everglades.

But how did this ancient grass fly turn wind power into power?

She first found an iron lamppost in the corner near the tail wing, and lit the ashes inside with a fire breaker, lighting it up with a blue light.

Immediately after, she walked to the other end of the boat, and Yin Chen and Xiong Daiying looked at her at a loss.

She was lying on the board, and suddenly, there was a faint sound below, as if something had been waiting for her to discover.

Chris reached out and tapped on the plank. Xiong Daiying and Yin Chen also walked over to help, and after a while they heard a hollow voice. She handed the fire fold to Xiong Daiying, and used her nails to find the gaps between the planks.

"Snap" flipped open a wooden plank, and the three people looked inside. In the long wooden box, there were three rats, their fur hung with blue light, and they were constantly running in a wooden device.

Chris looked at them, completely stunned.

"This is awesome!" she said, looking up to see Xiong Daiying and Yin Chen also with incredulous expressions.

Chris flipped through the other boards and found nine sets of devices, each with three mice.

After seeing the blue scorpion and then seeing the blue mouse, Yin Chen and Xiong Daiying were already confused.

The ship was beyond Chris's imagination. She vaguely remembered something, which was more subtle and magical than the "guinea pig's autonomous running wheel". Her attention was entirely focused on the structure in the belly of the ship, and in the middle were rows of glass tubes, the blue liquid floating in them glowed with a very harsh light, and Chris could take a long time to look away. Her gaze finally landed on a device, as all the blue liquid powered by "rat power" converged here, and Chris opened it, the bow of the ship tilted slightly.

It was something like an engine throttle, and when it was opened, it activated the thrusters in the belly of the ship.

Closing the plank, Chris returned to the stern, she saw a few joysticks on the edge of the seats, tried to operate them, first found the pusher, then fiddled with the stern leaf spin and two stubby flaps.

Yin Chen and Xiong Daiying saw that she was so familiar with operating this ship, and they all believed what she said before, it seems that this ship is really called Grass Flying.

As if God was meant to make this long, thrilling day a little more fun, Chris sat upright, lever in hand, and wanted to try his hand.

She said to the two, "You two pick a seat and sit, it's time to sail." ”

There were three rows of long wooden chairs on the boat, Yin Chen and Xiong Daiying glanced at each other, and sat close to her at the back of the boat.

After a while, a huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the water again, and this water beast had two blue eyes and shot out two blue rays of light. The Shadow howled—a roar that sounded even more manic and terrifying than the Scorpion Queen.

It slowly approached the people along the river, the waves rolling, the mist swirling, and then slowly dissipating. A voice came from the water beast, it sounded far away, but it was a familiar voice.

Hong Qili took the lead in flying and jumping, taking advantage of the situation to somersault in mid-air, and stood firmly on the deck with both feet. The second voice called out again, and when they heard that it was another servant of the Qin official, everyone let go of their hanging hearts.

Everyone boarded the strange ship, everything was ready, and Chris steered the boat forward.

Because the power is the magical blue mouse, the grass flies without making any sound, all the way quietly through the vast darkness, and no one can hear anyone on the boat, only the sound of rushing water. They're still alive, but that can change at any time, and there's nothing to celebrate when they're on board.

The two blue lights at the stern of the boat cast light and shadow on the rock wall, and the outline of the underground cave could be distinguished, and occasionally one or two dark shadows on the wall swayed, but they often disappeared quickly; Everyone was afraid that the huge monster in the water would approach and devour their light and fluttering ship, and they would fall into the water and be dragged to the bottom.

Time fades away in chaos.

The exit of the underground cavern was just ahead, and when people saw the light, they all held their breath and their hearts were filled with hope.

It wasn't until the whole ship sailed out of the cave, in the sun, that people dared to believe that it had really escaped.

Chris put her hand on her forehead to cover the sun, and when she looked back, she realized that the river in the waterway was not black, but blue.

Looking ahead, the vast and blue sky is connected to the vast river, and the strong sea breeze blows the water surface, and it is sparkling.

Wang Shu looked around, and this blue river was not marked on the map of Salmon Island in his hand, and even the old people on the island didn't seem to know about its existence. Thinking of the old man and the earth baby, and seeing at the rest of the ship less than half of the people who had left the ship, his heart was filled with sadness and sorrow.

Hong Qili and Teng Chuliang also felt relieved. They looked at one at the same time, but Chris's crooked eyebrows were pressed together.

I saw her pull the joystick and let the boat start again.

She glanced at the levers she hadn't touched before, and gritted her teeth and pulled one of them hard.

At that moment, the huge blades behind the boat began to move, and gradually spun with such a loud noise that she could not hear anything even when she shouted in Chris's ear.

The speed of the grass increased significantly, and after gliding forward for a while, Chris realized that the blue rat in the belly of the boat provided the impetus to sail, and the paddles behind him provided acceleration. She looked at the lever and pushed the other one, and sure enough, the oars spun rapidly, and the hull of the boat was jerked forward.

She excitedly exclaimed, "Sit tight!" and as soon as she pushed the joystick, Grass Fly immediately sped forward.

The river narrowed ahead, the water was covered with dense sedges, and the emerald green banks were lined with cypress trees, and the water was cloudy, and the boat seemed to have entered a labyrinth of grass and trees.

When the speeding grass flew against the meadow, it bounced up, and the people on the boat were turned upside down, and their heartbeats suddenly intensified, and all they could do was hold on.

Hong Qili came to Chris's side and gently touched her wrist.

Discovering the trick to the wind-boat's acceleration made Chris so excited that he went on a rampage regardless of it. It wasn't until she saw Hong Qili's mouth clearly that she came back to her senses and quickly slowed down her speed.

Chris looked at this grassy, low-lying, flat, waterlogged land and thought to himself: This is too much like a "swamp."
