Before I could think of a solution, I saw Wang Kui take out the bag of sulfur, then take out some pieces of cloth, wrap them into balls, and give two to each person. Of course, except me.
"When you go down, put one in your mouth and put the other on your body to prevent those snake beards from getting close. Although the sulfur is poisonous, there should be no problem as long as it is not excessive."
Next, each of us put on a diving suit. This equipment is not actually for diving, but to prevent the penetration of snake beard poison.
Having learned the lessons from the last two times, this time I left all the rarely used things on the boat and brought a lot of food and water. I had had enough of starving.
The water here is deeper than outside, but the criss-crossing of these fallen trees is very convenient for us. We can walk on the water along the trunks. Although the speed will be slower, it also avoids unpredictable dangers underwater.
The hugeness of this cave exceeded our imagination. After walking for several hours, we still didn't reach the other side. Carrying equipment and being in this environment, we were already very tired. I looked at my watch.
, it was already late at night outside, and finally we decided to find a place to have a good rest for the night, and then continue our journey tomorrow after being refreshed.
The shelter we chose is a huge tree hole. This ancient tree is six or seven meters in diameter. The space inside the tree hole is very large. Although it is a bit crowded to accommodate the seven of us, there is such a place in this environment.
Having a place to stay is already a very luxurious thing.
There was some moisture inside the tree hole, and there was also a faint fishy smell, but I couldn't tell where it came from or what.
We sat down in a circle. The fat man, a foodie, quickly took out a smokeless stove from his bag, while the monkey took out a pot, poured two bottles of mineral water, and poured out the dog meat and other things we had left before.
After getting it all in and adding the ingredients, the fat man got a bottle of old wine from nowhere. He grinned and said, "Hey, this is our last big meal. We can't lose anything."
My own belly. But I have to take this stove and pot with me when I get there, maybe we can catch some game later."
This is a good thing for the fat man. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. I won't be polite to them when the meat is cooked. I don't have chopsticks, so I just grab a piece and put it in my mouth.
"I said, young prince, can you please be more hygienic? There are so many of us, and you just slap your paw when you come up. How can you let us eat?"
I rolled my eyes at him and continued to chew the dog meat in my mouth. "Don't bother me. I don't think you are hungry. If you are really hungry, you will still eat even if I step on you."
Anyway, I've already caught it here. If you don't want to eat it, it's easy. I'll take care of all this pot of meat. I'm hungry anyway."
The fat man looked at me blankly, and after a while he suddenly shouted: "Damn it, you are so beautiful, Mr. Gua, why don't you take me to eat the meat that I finally cooked. Hey, Mud Monkey, you
You are so shameless, don’t take advantage of me..."
We can hardly describe it as eating, but rather as grabbing something. I thought it would be us grown men who would decide the winner, but I didn’t expect that the fastest one was A Xue. She neither used hands nor chopsticks.
Instead, she took out her two willow shovels, which were sharper than daggers, and picked one from the left and one from the right. She was so fast and accurate that we were all stunned.
Fortunately, Fatty and Monkey loaded up all the inventory on the boat. All seven of us ate heartily, and there was still some leftover at the end. I put the remaining food in the pot into a plastic bag while they were not paying attention.
It's a good thing to put in my bag. If you take it out and chew a piece when you're very hungry, it's definitely a treat.
The people next to me stared at me and scolded me for being shameless. I have developed a good face with them, and I am not afraid of what they say. Anyway, it won't hurt me to talk about it. If they say theirs, I still pretend to be indifferent.
My meat.
After I finished it, I grinned at them and said: "There are fast hands and slow hands. We don't know how many days we will stay here in the future. Who of you scolded me just now? When I eat it, what will you do?"
Don't be greedy. I have promised you that this piece of meat will cost ten thousand yuan, and there will be no bargaining. Let's see if you still have the backbone you have now."
"Damn it, little prince, you are so shameless. I despise you, Mr. Gua."
"Okay, Fatty, if someone else has ten thousand, you can have fifteen thousand."
"Little prince, Mr. Gua, I..."
"Twenty thousand, absolutely no bargaining."
In the end, I don’t know how I fell asleep. It seemed that after we entered this tree hole, my spirit completely relaxed. This crowded and closed space gave people a sense of security, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
human defense.
In a daze, I felt something was not right. There was something wet and slippery somewhere on my body, as if something soft was moving around there.
I opened my eyes and took a look, but was shocked. The tree hole was empty, and several people around me were gone. When I touched my arms, I suddenly found that the bronze dragon sculpture I had hidden in my arms was also missing.
My heart immediately cooled down, and boundless anger arose. Did they steal my things and leave me alone in this cold tree hole? Why did they do this to me?
I touched around me, and my luggage was gone. They didn't leave anything for me. I was a little desperate. In this case, losing material things would be a dead end.
I couldn't help but bend down and get up to take my head out of the tree hole. In the darkness, I could vaguely see a figure sitting at the entrance of the tree hole. I couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly shouted: "Monkey? Fatty? Ashue..."
"
I called out all their names, but got no response, which slowly extinguished the enthusiasm in my heart.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly climbed out, stretched out a hand and touched the figure. The tentacles were cold and hard. My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately guessed what was at the entrance of the tree hole. It was definitely the one I had seen before.
The kind of human figurines you see underwater.
I can't believe how the figurine came to this tree hole. We didn't see it when we came in before. Could it be that the figurine can still move on its own?
I shivered and hurriedly tried to retract my hand, but then the figurine in front of me suddenly moved. I felt a hand being tightly grasped by it, and its head slowly stretched towards my face.
I don't know where the light came from, and I could slowly see the face of the figurine clearly. It was completely pitch black, and it stared at me with empty eyes, and a weird smile hanging on the corner of its mouth.
Suddenly, the face of the figurine turned into the face of the old man. It suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit my head.
I said to myself, since there was no way to escape, I could only die. I resigned myself to my fate and closed my eyes.
"Little prince, wake up, wake up quickly." A familiar voice came to my ears. I was confused and suddenly agitated. I quickly opened my eyes. It was still dark all around, but I heard a few voices coming from beside me.
The sound of even breathing.
I immediately realized that it was a dream just now. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but I felt a little helpless in my heart. Recently, I have become more and more fond of dreaming. The scene that appears most frequently in my dreams is that black shadow. Others
It's either a horrible nightmare or a strange dream, which makes me feel afraid of dreams now.
"What's wrong? Xiaojiu." I asked him. His personality was somewhat similar to A-Xue's, even more boring than her. If there was nothing important, he would not bother to wake me up.
Sure enough, Xiao Jiu said: "Little Prince, please lower your voice, something seems to have come in here. Boss, Zhonghua and Fatty have gone out just now. Listen to the voices of a few people here."
My heart skipped a beat, and I listened for a while, only to find that besides me and Xiao Jiu, there were three more breathing sounds here, which meant there was one more sound.
"Could it be Fatty and they have another one coming back?"
After hearing what I said, Xiaojiu said without hesitation that it was impossible, because the three of them agreed to come back together when they left. Even if they came back alone, it was impossible for them to not say a word. The most important thing is that they
I didn't see anyone coming in, so the sound of breathing appeared out of nowhere.
"Inexplicable?" What I hate most in this environment is this word. Anything that has anything to do with this word is definitely not a good thing.
I held my breath, and the three breathing sounds were very even, as if they were all sleeping. Two of them must be Ashue and Monkey, so what exactly is the other one?
This is a very scary thing. You clearly know that there is something in front of you, but you don’t know what it is. Moreover, it appears out of nowhere. People can’t help but think about some inexplicable things.
The more you guess, the more nervous you become, and the more nervous you are, the more you want to guess.
The atmosphere in the tree hole became more and more weird. Suddenly, the hairs all over my body stood up, and cold sweat started to flow down my face.
I discovered something very important. There were only three breathing sounds in the entire tree hole. Xiaojiu was sitting next to me. There were three breathing sounds opposite me, but there was only one breathing sound on my side. That is to say
, Xiaojiu next to me made no sound of breathing at all.
All the previous guesses have been overturned. As long as people can breathe, then who is the "Xiaojiu" who just talked to me? Are what he said true?
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, all the muscles in my body became stiff. "Xiaojiu" next to me was still sitting close to me, but I felt that the place close to me was cold, wet and slippery.
