The tower in the middle of the depression has nine floors in total. Due to the terrain, it looks much taller than the blood tower at the end of the ice city. Xiao Xi and Jinpu Awang looked around carefully. This tower
The tower is probably the only building that can be seen here, but it does not mean that it was easy when it was first built. On the stone walls surrounding the depression, there is a plank road that stretches into the distance.
Walking along the plank road sandwiched on the stone wall, it may lead to the distance and approach the nine-story pagoda. They waited and then slowly walked towards the plank road. The moment before stepping onto the plank road, Jin Pu Awang stopped and turned around.
Said to Mustache: "Do you believe what that woman said?"
"Her premonitions are much stronger than the average person's."
Jinpu Awang glanced at the nine-story pagoda immersed in darkness in the distance. Without saying anything else, he stepped into the plank road. The plank road is a road cut out of the stone. It is very low and difficult to walk.
I couldn't even straighten my waist inside. The shape of this space was irregular, but it was roughly a circle. The two of them followed the plank road and made a half circle from the entrance, which was equivalent to walking to the opposite side of the entrance. The plank road went to the bottom of the depression.
extend out.
It is actually a bit inaccurate to say that it is a depression, because it is very large and relatively deep. When Jinpu Awang led the way to the end of the plank road extending below, they saw a piece of water. The water was of unknown depth, and it seemed to be
There is a pool of stagnant water, and the nine-story tower stands in the middle of the water.
Seeing the water, Mustache felt uneasy. The distance from here to the nine-story tower in the center was at least more than 100 meters, and it was impossible for them to just swim across it. But soon, the two of them saw several falling rivers not far away.
A canoe. This is a very primitive and ancient boat. Cut down a very thick tree, cut it in the middle, then burn the core of the tree with fire and hollow it out. Apply oil to the outside several times to enter the water.
.
Seeing the canoe means that the people who built the Dark Night Temple at that time may have often passed between the shore and the nine-story tower. The two of them tried to drag a small boat into the water. As they were about to step onto the small boat, the little boy
Huzi felt that if Tang Yue's premonition was correct, then the unknown dangers below the fifth floor might come from this water and the nine-story tower in the middle of the water.
The lonely boat floated on the water, looking extremely weak, as if a gust of breeze could blow it over. However, this was a stagnant water and should not be able to support anything alive. The two of them sat on the boat one after the other and began to work together.
Paddling. Jinpu Ngawang has almost never touched a boat in his life, but Xiaohu has grown up by the Jiajiang River and has some experience. The boat swayed left and right a few times and began to slowly move closer to the nine-story pagoda along the water.
.
There was no wind here, and Xiao Hu tried his best to ensure the safety of the two of them, so the boat rowed very slowly but very steadily. When he rowed about ten meters out, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the water next to him, and saw a pool of stagnant water.
The color is indescribable, and because of the light, you can't see the bottom of the water at a glance.
At this time, a kind of worry arose in Mustache's heart. Is this murky pool of stagnant water really as incapable of growing anything as he judged?
But the boat had already rowed out more than ten meters, so they turned around and went back. This was not the style of Mustache and Jinpu Awang. Their weapons were at hand. If they encountered an unexpected situation, they could respond quickly as soon as possible.
Thinking about this, Mustache cooperated with Jinpu Ngawang and accelerated the speed. The distance of more than 100 meters could actually be reached quickly. However, when they successfully rowed almost halfway, the bow of the boat shook slightly.
, obviously hit something in the water.
They were both startled at the same time and stopped immediately. Jinpu Ngawang raised the light, and the area around the boat was illuminated, but the water was very calm, with only slight waves rising in circles. They did not know that the boat was
He bumped into something in the water, but he was already feeling uneasy. Moreover, Mustache had a bad feeling. The two of them were currently in the water, far away from the shore and the nine-story tower. If something unexpected happened here, there would be no chance.
There is no room for escape.
"What on earth is it?" Jinpu Ngawang moved slightly and raised the lamp higher. However, the water all around, including in front of the bow of the ship, looked turbid, like a pool of light ink, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Go first!"
They gave up observing because they couldn't see clearly. The two of them started paddling again, trying to get to the nine-story tower as soon as possible. But just as the boat rowed forward three or four meters away, it vibrated slightly again and hit something. And this time
Once, with the vibration, a white shell slowly emerged from the water.
This white shell is almost two meters long. I don’t know what it is. The white shell is floating on the bow of the boat, motionless.
"Why don't you just rush over?" Jin Pu Awang casually grabbed his iron ring. When encountering an unknown situation, if you can't solve it quickly, you can only avoid it. The farther away, the better.
Mustache felt the same way. The things in this place were almost completely different from the dangers he had come into contact with before. He held the alloy tube directly with one hand and prepared to rush over with Jinpu Awang.
Before the two of them could take action, countless white shells like this suddenly appeared in the area to the left and right of the boat. Each white shell was like a huge white pupa, densely packed together, and colliding back and forth.
Some hit the side of the boat directly, making a slight banging sound.
"What is this!" Jinpu Awang looked at the white shell that suddenly appeared, and felt his scalp was a little numb.
"Push them away! Let's go!" Mustache stretched out his hand and stretched out the alloy tube, pushing the white shell that was squeezed to the side of the ship on the right side toward the distance.
Jinpu Ngawang stood on the bow of the boat, hooked one end of the white shell with an iron ring, and swung it far away, but a strange scene appeared. The boat suddenly seemed like a huge magnet, emitting an inexplicable energy.
Due to the force of gravity, the white shell that was pushed away floated on the water and swayed left and right for a few times, and then slowly came closer. This situation is not dangerous, but it is very unbearable. The lonely boat and the mustache Jinpu Awang on the boat
, invisibly tightly surrounded by these dense white shells.
Jinpu Awang kept his head down and worked hard, pushing the white shells surrounding the bow of the boat far away, while Mustache rowed with all his strength behind. The boat moved forward hard, with countless white shells always surrounding them.
Finally, Jinpu Ngawang was too busy.
"Ignore them, rush!" Xiaozhu felt that this was not going to work. Although there were many white shells, there was not much resistance. If the boat was rowed forward, it could still be squeezed out, so he shouted to Jinpu Awang.
, want to speed up rowing.
Just as Mustache finished saying this, he felt that the paddle in his hand was tightly pulled by something. The thing holding the paddle was very powerful. Mustache was in a stalemate with this force for two days.
In a matter of seconds, he suddenly exerted force and directly brought things out of the water. Through the light, he could see at a glance that the person holding the oar was a green-haired hand stretched out from the water.
This is a bony hand, skinny and bony, with a ring of green hair. It tightly grasps the oar. Although it was brought out of the water by the mustache, it still did not let go. The alloy tube of the mustache swished.
Entering the water, the sharp edge seemed to have penetrated a piece of wood. He lifted it hard with one hand, and a thin and ghost-like shadow was lifted up from the water by the alloy pipe, and then there was a pop.
Fall into the floating white shell next to it.
Bang...
At the same time that the mustache shook the shadow away, another green-furred paw stretched out from under the water on the bow of the boat, gripping the bow of the boat tightly. The boat was small, and it was blocked by this paw.
As soon as it was picked up, it swayed slightly, and Jin Pu Awang's scalp tightened. He was very tall, and as the boat rocked, he became a little unsteady. Followed closely, the one holding the bow of the boat
As soon as the paw moved, a head with a patch of green hair emerged from the water.
I can't describe what kind of thing this is. This head is as dry as a skeleton. The green hair is soaked in water, like a piece of weird hair sticking to the head. Its eye sockets are hollow, but tenacious and persistent.
I wanted to climb up along the bow of the ship.
Jinpu Ngawang roared, and almost all the strength in his body was poured into the iron ring in his hand. He smashed it down like a thunderbolt. The heavy iron ring flattened the green-haired head at once.
The smashed head fell into the water, but the green claw persisted and hung on the bow of the boat.
Kaka...
The white shells floating on the water are constantly breaking, just like a huge egg containing a monster has broken. Almost all of the broken white shells have green-haired claws. At the same time,
Several more hands under the water surface grabbed the side of the boat together, and the boat rocked even more violently. The two people had to lower their bodies and lower their center of gravity.
When Jinpu Awang became anxious, the innate stubbornness in his bones burst out. He stretched out his hand and directly used an iron ring to cover a green-haired head that surfaced, and with a strong lift, he pulled the opponent out of the water.
He was carried under the water to the boat. The thing's green fur was dripping with water, and its skinny body kept struggling. The mustache stepped heavily on its back, and clasped the green fur with both hands wearing gloves.
The head was twisted neatly, and with a soft click, the thing's neck was broken. There was only a layer of dry skin connecting the head and the body, and the twisting tendency suddenly weakened a lot.
The green hair with its broken neck was thrown far away and fell into the water with a splash. Jinpu Awang then used an iron ring to pick up the second green hair. In a short period of time, they cooperated to kill several of them, but
The white shells around the boat were cracking faster and faster, and countless green-haired hands stretched out together.
