"Huh... I can finally breathe normally." This was the first thing Xiao Tan said after taking off his breathing mask.
At this time, Brother Jue and his group had arrived at the end of the river. There were no more black roses and poisonous pollen here, but only a waterfall flowing upward.
"It's this kind of waterfall again..." Looking at the retrograde water flow in front of him, Feng Bujue immediately thought of what happened the last time he came to the reasoning club, "Are we going to do that weird time travel setting again?
…”
Although he had some scruples, he had no choice. After all, there were no forks in the river, so it was impossible to turn back the same way.
"Everyone, let's just ride the current up." When he came to the edge of the waterfall, Feng Bujue slowed down, put away his pipe, and turned back to his teammates.
"I don't have any objection, it's just a change of weight anyway..." Buu continued.
"Ah... I don't care, I've already been in the water anyway." Xiao Tan continued.
"I have no objection either." Orb agreed.
However... the two ladies who had not yet fallen into the water seemed reluctant to jump into the river.
"I don't know, do you mind if I stand on your shoulder for a while?" Ruoyu asked.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't mind... but... is it necessary?"
"Of course!" Before Ruoyu could reply, Xiao Ling rushed to say, "Although you won't lose any points if you soak in the water, it will be very unpleasant if your wet clothes stick to your body after you leave the water." She paused.
After a while, "Besides, neither of us has touched the water all the way here. If we jump into the river when we get here, we always feel like we have wasted all our efforts."
"Okay..." Feng Bujue continued, "Then... Xiyu stands on my shoulder. If you are sad... Xiaotan, you can carry it."
"Uh...how to carry it..." Xiao sighed, "Although I can swim, I can't guarantee that I can keep my body from shaking when someone stands on my shoulders."
Feng Bujue smiled: "Haha... it's very simple, just let her ride on your neck..."
…………
Thirty seconds later, the players entered the water flow of the waterfall. The direction of gravity here is different from the previous area, so everyone does not have to worry about falling "downward" after leaving the water flow. For them, the "downside" just now
, is now the "rear". And the "front" just now is now the "down".
"Well...it really won't fall..." Brother Jue squatted on the water, stretched his arms to both sides, tensed his muscles, and said with a constipated expression on his face, "I have clearly shouldered the responsibility of three people."
The weight. Still hasn’t fallen off..."
At this moment, Xiaotan, Buu and Uub were floating on the water separately; only Feng Bujue... was squatting on the water like a juggler, and there was a person standing on each shoulder...
"We are girls," Xiao Ling, who was standing on Brother Jue's left shoulder, continued.
"That depends on the situation..." Feng Bujue replied, "If that 'person' refers to Buu,..."
"Teacher Jue, I can become very light." Buu, who happened to be drifting past Brother Jue, added in a timely manner.
"Alas..." Feng Bujue let out a long sigh and impromptuly chanted, "Don't lament the bitterness of Coptis chinensis. Talking and laughing can also lead to sadness."
"Uh...what do you mean?" Uub, who was treading water not far away, turned around and asked.
"The core idea is..." Ruoyu continued, standing on Brother Jue's right shoulder, "He has deeply realized that... his current situation is entirely caused by his bad mouth."
After Buu heard this, he actually showed admiration: "Well... As expected of Teacher Jue, the poems he recited are also so profound..."
Oubu also said: "As expected of Teacher Jue... when doing introspection, he is a little more artistic than the average person..."
"Aren't these two guys specially sent by the author to make up the number of words? How many times do I need to use the same sentence structure before I am satisfied..." Feng Bujue seemed to have difficulty saying it, but he was already complaining in his heart.
…………
Everyone rode the current quickly forward, and not long after, the golden river "behind" disappeared from their sight, and with it... the light source disappeared.
There are no gold, silver, or jewelry at the bottom of this "waterfall". There is no light shining up from the bottom of the river. Players have to take out their lighting equipment again to illuminate the road in front of them.
In just a few minutes, players seemed to have "drifted" from dusk into night. And it was the kind of night where you couldn't see without turning on the lights.
Of course, if you think about it carefully... the direction they are heading in is the "darkness" above them not long ago...
When they realized it later, a thick, substantial shadow surrounded them. Even the search light in Brother Jue's hand could only illuminate a range of less than five meters.
The rapid current pushed them forward, and the unknown darkness approached them like a ferocious beast.
In this situation, the fright value of the players will naturally increase...
Xiao Tan, Buu and Uub all swam to the vicinity of Brother Jue and pulled each other. In their hearts, a strange thought vaguely emerged. As long as they were washed away by the water into the darkness, they would never be able to survive again.
I can’t find my teammates either…
"Uh...have you noticed...it seems to be getting colder around here." A few minutes later, Xiao Tan suddenly said.
"Is it because we have been soaked in cold water for a long time that our body temperature has dropped?" Buu continued.
"No, it has indeed gotten colder." Ruoyu continued in a firm tone, "The temperature has dropped from 20 degrees Celsius to around 5 degrees Celsius."
As someone who has never been in the water, her words are still very convincing.
"And...the stone walls on both sides have disappeared..." Xiao Ling continued. As she said that, she swept the flashlight in her hand to both sides.
Indeed, the two stone walls, which were originally three meters apart, had disappeared...in their place, there was only darkness as thick as black velvet.
"I've noticed all of this." The only person who could respond to these questions calmly was Feng Bujue. "And I've noticed it a long time ago."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ruoyu asked.
"I thought you all knew..." Feng Bujue replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "The darkness is getting thicker, the distance between the stone walls is getting wider, and the air is getting colder. These can all be known by visual and physical senses.
Things. We haven’t encountered any monsters or special things along the way. You should be aware of this, right..."
"Well... by the time we realized it, it seemed it was too late..." Xiaotan continued.
"It's all the same..." Feng Bujue said in a lazy tone, "Even if I discovered those changes right away, it wouldn't change anything, right? At most, I would be mentally calmer than you, no.
There was that sense of panic that came later.”
"Since you won't have any sense of panic under any circumstances." Ruoyu continued, "Next time you discover something... you'd better tell it as soon as possible."
Feng Bujue weakly continued: "Okay... next time I..."
[Search and search for friends~Find a good friend~] Suddenly, a strange children's voice sounded, interrupting Brother Jue's words.
[Salute and shake hands...] At this point, the voice suddenly stopped again...
"Ah!" At this moment, Orb shouted and sank into the water.
"What's going on? Didn't he catch you?" Feng Bujue immediately turned to look at Buu and Xiaotan and asked.
"I...I don't know..." Buu was completely frightened. He looked at Brother Jue with a dull expression and replied hesitantly. "He...when the song started...he seemed...to let go...
…”
At this time, the childish voice laughed strangely, and then sang: [Heehee... I found a good friend...]
"Looking for you [beep]..." Feng Bujue scolded him directly, "Don't do this with me, hand him over to me quickly!"
Brother Jue knew very well that in a scenario with normal difficulty, such an instant kill without warning would never happen. And he opened the game menu to confirm it at the first moment... In the team column, the current status of Orb
It's still "survival". Therefore... the scene happening in front of me is most likely just a frightening plot. From the previous atmosphere to the content of the lyrics... it's all part of the psychological warfare.
In this case, it is necessary to overwhelm the opponent with momentum and destroy the terrifying atmosphere created by the opponent. In this way... the enemy will reveal its flaws.
[Looking, looking, looking for friends~] After a few seconds, the childish voice sang again. It seemed that "it" wanted Brother Wuwang to repeat what happened just now.
But... how could Feng Bujue let him have his wish...
"Sing you [beep]!" Brother Jue immediately shouted into the darkness ahead with a voice twice as loud as the other person, "Brother is talking to you!"
This time... the voice couldn't sing smoothly. It had to pause for a few seconds before continuing: [Find a good friend...]
"You're a deaf star!" Feng Bujue shouted, "If you have the guts, would you like to sing another line?"
After a short silence... [Salute...]
"Shaolin Kung Fu Awakening ~ Good Things ~ Shaolin Kung Fu Jin ~ Good Strength! I'm the Iron Head Kung Fu ~ Invincible Iron Head Kung Fu! You are the Vajra Legs... The Vajra Legs!" Feng Bujue used such a song.
The next line of "It" was stuck in my throat.
Finally, when Brother Jue sang the phrase "Shaolin Kung Fu is good", "it" couldn't bear it anymore...
"Stop!" the childish voice yelled, "it's so unpleasant!"
This roar announced that... "it" has been brought into the rhythm of Jue Ge's complaints. In a sense... the winner has been decided.
"Haha... So you can hear me?" Feng Bujue stopped his unscrupulous singing and said with a smile, "That's easy to talk about. If you want to negotiate terms with me... please give me back my companion first."
"So what if I don't pay?" it asked.
"I have Vajra legs! Vajra legs! Woo hoo~ oooh" a hoarse high-pitched song responded to its question.
"Okay... you're being cruel..." Its shocked and helpless tone made people feel intuitively that it was feeling extremely miserable at the moment.
Hua Hua Hua
The next second, Orb's figure suddenly emerged from the water near the players.
"Haah...haah..." As soon as he put his head out of the water, he gasped, "Haah...what...just...just...happened?"
"Actually, it's nothing... I think... you should be glad that you weren't here just now." When Ruo Yu said this to Oub, his eyes fell on Brother Jue, with contempt in his eyes.
"Crazy...I thought...the rumors about you were a bit exaggerated..." After a moment, it spoke again, "Now it seems...it's better to be famous than to meet..."
"We haven't officially 'met' yet, have we?" Feng Bujue said, "At least...I haven't seen your true form yet, have I?" He probed calmly, "Don't tell me your true form.
It’s just a sparrow…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhuan Jie Zun's voice sounded in his mind: "Crazy, don't do stupid things... If you have a head-on conflict with 'it', you will definitely die, and even I can't help you..."
..." Brother Zun said seriously, "Now, 'it' has become one with the 'I' in the script. All you need to do is find the body of that little boy..."
"Shut up! Master Zhuanjie!"
At this moment, something incredible happened... "It" actually shouted loudly, interrupting the voice in Brother Jue's mind. (To be continued...)
