In the stunned gaze of everyone, a black tentacle as thick as an arm protruded from the pitch-black water like lightning and rolled towards Chao Yongcun.
Chao Yongchun had already reacted when he heard Ye Xiu's warning.
He kicked his legs with all his strength, and even stretched out his right hand, trying to hold Ye Xiu's hand, but the speed of the tentacle was too fast. As soon as Chao Yongcun raised his foot, the tentacle had already wrapped around his waist.
Then Chao Yongcun felt an irresistible force coming, and his whole body fell backward.
He didn't even touch Ye Xiu's fingers before he was pulled into the dark water, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Ye Xiu grabbed it with one hand and watched helplessly as the most elite warrior of the Huya Team was pulled into the water by the tentacles and disappeared without even a splash of waves.
He was a little dazed. They had been fully prepared and vigilant. All preparations had been done to the extreme. Why would such an accident happen?
On the other side, Chu Tianhe and others also immediately pulled the trigger towards the water, but when the bullet was shot into the black water, it was like mud entering the sea, without any reaction, not even a ripple.
Everything was so peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
But their closest comrade-in-arms disappeared forever.
Everyone feels empty in their hearts. Except for Chu Tianhe, these people are all old men of the Huya Team. They and Chao Yongcun have been together for at least more than a year.
Now I am watching my comrades fall into the water, but I can't do anything. The helpless despair makes everyone feel as if a heavy stone has been pressed down on their hearts. It is so uncomfortable.
"Back off!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath, and even though he felt extremely uncomfortable, he still made arrangements immediately.
The monsters in this water area are obviously not ordinary water monsters. He was the first one to come over, and they didn't move. Others came over one after another, and they didn't move either. It wasn't until Chao Yongcun came ashore that he suddenly launched an attack. What does this mean?
, which means that this water monster is very smart, and it chose the most appropriate time to take action.
At this time, even if this road is still there, how can they dare to continue walking back? That guy wants to catch everyone in one go.
The deceased was dead, and Ye Xiu could not save Chao Yongcun's life. The only thing he could do was to do his best to protect the remaining people.
Professor Hu and others were so frightened that they backed away when the tentacles came out. After all, Chu Tianhe and others were the elites of Huya. No matter how sad they were, when they knew that bullets were ineffective against the water monster, they all backed away.
.
However, everyone's face was full of heaviness, not only mourning for Chao Yongcun who had just died, but also mourning for Zhang Qiang who was probably dragged in by the water monster.
It was just an archeology. When Huya was deployed, two people were already damaged before they even saw the coffin. This was definitely a huge blow to morale. But what was hanging on Ye Xiu's mind now was no longer how to find the ancient coffin.
What Professor Su may need in the tomb is how to take the remaining people out smoothly.
This road is obviously impossible to walk on. Let's not talk about whether they can find a new way out of the outer passage. Let's just say that the unknown monster in the water is a huge threat.
Facing those lightning-fast tentacles, even if he was walking on the water, he wouldn't be able to avoid them with complete certainty, let alone other people.
Once dragged underwater, it is death!
"How many lighting rods are there!" Glancing at the empty space in front of him, Ye Xiu suppressed the heaviness in his heart and asked Long Zimu.
"Each of us carried ten sticks, and now we still have a hundred!" Before coming in, Ye Xiu, the top master, did not wear a backpack, nor did the three old professors. Only twelve of them carried backpacks, but now
Two people have fallen into the water, and only ten people remain.
Long Zimu said in a very deep voice.
"Leave twenty as backup, light the rest, illuminate the surroundings, and then search for the exit with all your strength!" Ye Xiu ordered.
The lighting rods they are equipped with are made of a special material. Each rod can burn for more than half an hour, and the lighting brightness is equivalent to a one million incandescent lamp.
The space here is too big. If he doesn't separate to find the exit, he doesn't know how long it will take to find it. But once separated, it will be extremely dangerous in the absence of light. For safety reasons, he decided to completely illuminate the place!
"Okay!" The others didn't have the slightest objection and started taking action one after another.
Including Wang Zhong, except for keeping one for himself, the others were handed over to the members of the Huya Team.
Everyone started to follow Ye Xiu's instructions, first lighting up the lighting rods, placing one at a distance of about ten meters. After a while, the eighty lighting rods finally illuminated the entire underground space brightly.
It was not until this moment that everyone saw the entire underground space clearly.
This turned out to be a huge underground square.
The entire square, surrounded by black water, presents a hexagonal shape. At each corner, there is a row of stone piers, just like the stone piers they entered.
Judging from the layout, there are six doors to enter this space.
Just looking at the almost identical arrangement of stone piers, everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Even if there are doors in other places, you still have to cross the stone pier after all. How will the monster hidden in the water react?
Once the monster attacked them when they were halfway there, even Ye Xiu wouldn't be sure to rush over, let alone the others?
When they thought that they and others might have been completely trapped and died here, everyone's eyes revealed a sense of despair.
Ye Xiu didn't give up. There was no word "give up" in his dictionary.
He looked up and looked directly in front of the square. There was a step there, and a palace was built on the step.
The back of the palace is connected to the mountain.
Perhaps, there are other passages inside the palace.
After patrolling for a week and confirming that there were indeed no other passages, Ye Xiu asked everyone to collect the lighting rods and walked towards the palace together.
In front of the palace, there is not a flat plain, but many black animal statues standing in front of the palace. They seem to be scattered in the square. There are tigers, rhinos, elephants, leopards, flying eagles, and many animals that no one has ever seen before.
.
For example, there is a giant python with three heads, six legs, an unknown creature that looks like a horse and is covered in scales.
Every statue is lifelike, as if it could come alive at any time.
Everyone carefully passed through the group of animal statues, came to the front of the steps, and walked up step by step. When they reached the top of the steps and saw everything in front of them, everyone was shocked...
