Not long after walking this time, the terrain ahead changed a lot. The road had come to an end, but there were more than a dozen straight passages. There were many stone chambers on each passage, arranged very neatly.
Someone entered and took a look, and found that these stone chambers were places where people lived, and some of them even contained many daily utensils. It seemed that this place was once very lively.
They walked along the largest passage in the middle, and within about ten minutes, they saw a huge bronze door.
However, no matter what they did, they could not open the giant bronze door. Scar Zhao was impatient and asked Shui Ling how to open the giant bronze door.
Shui Ling shook his head and said that it was very simple to open the giant bronze door, as long as he had a key. Without the key, no matter who came, he would not be able to open it.
Scar Zhao looked at the circular indentation on the giant bronze door. After thinking about it, he asked her if there was any other way through. This time, Shui Ling nodded without hesitation and said that there was another secret way.
The passage is just a bit more dangerous, and there are some obstacles inside that are not that easy to pass. But apart from the giant bronze gate, it is the only way to the sacred lake.
Now that the team has come this far, of course they cannot give up halfway. Scar Zhao finally decided to take that path. Shui Ling had no choice but to take Scar Zhao to that place after asking the other party to let go of his own people first but to no avail.
The entrance was hidden very cleverly. It was behind a wall of a stone room. From the outside, it was basically impossible to see anything different. However, as Shui Ling fumbled and knocked on it from time to time, the wall finally slowly cracked.
A gap revealed a dark cave entrance, with a staircase winding downwards.
Everyone was overjoyed and hurried in, but with two screams, the two people who went in first disappeared in an instant.
Scar Zhao's expression changed, and he looked at Shui Ling fiercely: "Nizi, you'd better not play any tricks with me. I'm not Wang Yisheng's foolish young man who will pity you."
Shui Ling was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal, and said calmly: "You are too impatient. I just said that this secret passage is not so easy to pass, but those two
Everyone should be fine. There is an underground river below and the stairs are broken. We will have to pass through the underground river later."
Scar Zhao glanced at her suspiciously, and then asked someone to take a flashlight and look down. Sure enough, the stairs below were broken. In the deep place, you could see sparkling light and two heads floating on the water.
superior.
Scar Zhao shouted, and soon the voices of the two men came from below: "Second Master, we are fine. There is an underground river down here. It is very deep, but the water is a little cold."
Scar Zhao's face relaxed and he grinned: "Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's such a hot day. I've already run out and am covered in stinky sweat. It would be good to go down and take a cold bath. Third brother, let's go down."
The bearded man next to Scar Zhao nodded, and then arranged for the people under him to go down the steps one by one, and then jumped into the river one by one. But at this time, He Tao discovered that Shui Ling was staring at Scar Zhao with incomparable eyes.
Vicious.
The underground river below is about ten meters wide. The water flow is not very fast, but it is freezing to the bone. It is okay to be in it for a short time, but if you stay in the water for a long time, you will definitely not be able to bear it.
A group of people swam for nearly half an hour before finally reaching the end, but there was a mountain wall in front of them and there was no road at all.
Scar Zhao looked at Shui Ling. She slowly swam to the stone wall, pointed down with her finger, and then suddenly dived into the water.
Sure enough, there was an exit under the mountain wall, and it was not too wide, so they passed through it easily.
The river behind the mountain wall was narrower than in front, and the current was faster. However, everyone saw at this time, on the shore not far in front, a white ship. It was not small in size and should be able to accommodate it.
these people.
Everyone was overjoyed and swam the distance just now. Everyone was laughing and laughing because of the cold. It would be great to have a boat now.
Everyone speeded up, but when they got closer, everyone started to scream in surprise.
"Bones, skulls, my God, there are so many."
"Ghost ship, that must be a ghost ship, we must not go there."
It turned out that the ship was not made of wood, but entirely of bones. Around the ship, skulls and heads were neatly arranged. I don’t know what materials were used to bond them together, but there was not even a single gap.
It made the whole ship look extremely eerie and shocking.
But at this time, Shui Ling swam towards the bone boat without fear, and said: "It's just some skeletons. Do you know how many years you have been dead? There is nothing to be afraid of. If you don't want to continue swimming in the river, I will
It seems better to go up. Don’t blame me for not reminding you that the road down there is a bit unsafe. It’s definitely easier to walk on a boat than on the river.”
Scar Zhao rolled his eyes, but finally let people board the bone boat. No matter what, Shui Ling got up first, and he couldn't show his timidity in front of a woman.
With so many people on board, the bone boat has become a bit crowded, but it is indeed much better on the boat than in the water. At least it has a down-to-earth feeling. Scar Zhao asked a few guys to be responsible for rowing the boat and bringing the village out.
All the prisoners were tied to the deck. He was still very cautious, and seemed very cautious in a place like this.
The boat went down the current, but something happened just five minutes into the journey. No one knew what happened. Everyone on the boat began to feel itchy, and the itching gradually deepened over time, as if there were countless
It's like little bugs crawling around on your body.
"Ship, there's something on the ship."
Someone shouted something, and everyone on the boat began to panic. When he looked down, he saw that a lot of hair had grown out of the gaps between the bones on the hull.
These hairs are all as white as snow, the same color as the hull of the ship, and blend into a whole, so no one noticed it just now.
The white hair grows extremely fast, growing to more than a foot long in the blink of an eye, swaying like weeds blown by the wind, constantly digging into people's clothes, and sticking to the body like a hard-bristled brush.
When scraped off, in addition to feeling very itchy, there is also some stinging sensation.
This feeling gradually deepened over time, and eventually everyone's body felt like being pricked by countless needles. Needless to say, those hairs began to attack the human body.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Scar Zhao was helpless. He could only ask people to form a circle, and then everyone took out weapons such as knives and daggers to resist the attacks of these hairs. But this was not a big deal at all.
As a result, these hairs are cut off one after another, seemingly endlessly.
Suddenly, a person nearby fell down and was tightly wrapped by those hairs. No matter how much he struggled and howled, it was of no avail.
Soon everyone saw a horrifying scene. The hairs stood up one after another, piercing into the man's flesh, and then sucking out his blood like a needle. The white hairs instantly turned into coquettish blood.
The red color quickly spreads towards the roots of the hair until it extends to the hull.
The crowd became more chaotic, shouting and screaming, and everyone had a look of panic on their face. After all, these hairs can kill people.
For some reason, the speed of the boat suddenly accelerated a lot at this time, but the people who had just steered the boat had obviously stopped.
He Tao was standing in the middle of the crowd at this time. He was also a little nervous. Moreover, he also discovered a strange thing. The blood drawn out from the hair quickly gathered on the foreheads of the skulls, gradually forming
Weird pictures and texts one by one.
He Tao had never seen these patterns before, but he clearly found that as the number of pictures and texts increased, the speed of the ship became faster and faster. Is it because of those bloody ships that they are traveling so fast?
In doubt, he looked around. The ship looked like a giant coffin with a huge mouth. Could it be that there was something evil hidden in the belly of the ship?
At an occasional glance, he suddenly discovered something. Shui Ling and the villagers didn't even have a single hair on their bodies. At this time, Shui Ling had a sneer on his lips, looking at those people howling in pain with a cruel expression.
As if she sensed his gaze, Shui Ling glanced this way, showing a look of disgust. Her gaze was as cold as ice, making him shiver uncontrollably.
But then he soon saw that he didn't have a single hair on his body, and those hairs were deliberately avoiding him. In addition to him, this was also the case with Chen Xiazi. Among the people who came here,
Among them, only two of them are such special exceptions.
He Tao understood instantly. Although Shui Ling kept saying that she wanted to kill the old man, emotional matters were often beyond her control and could not be forgotten so quickly. Facing the old man's friends, she still couldn't bear to do it.
He let out a long sigh. Originally, he still had some illusions in his heart. If the old man was gone, maybe he would have some opportunities, but now he realized that even if the old man really made a huge mistake, no one could replace him.
His position in Shui Ling's heart meant that besides the old man, there was no room for anyone else in her heart.
He walked slowly to Shui Ling, took a deep breath, and summoned up the courage to say to her: "Miss Shui Ling, in fact, you have made a mistake all your life. That matter really has nothing to do with him, and he has no idea about it.
of."
Shui Ling's body trembled and she looked at him with wide eyes: "How do you know?"
"Hey, actually, I heard everything you said to Yisheng in the room the night before it happened. You still don't understand him very well. He has a principle in doing things, so he will definitely do what he said.
, he will not break his promise to you. The reason why I say he is innocent is because I was not the only one who heard your conversation that night, there was another person hiding in the dark, and that person was the one who leaked the news.
, his whole life, he was just that person’s scapegoat.”
