Hearing the child's warning-like reminder, I felt a little uncomfortable. I took Fan Tuan and Su Xiaomeng, two people with little experience, most afraid of encountering some unforeseen dangerous situations. But we have come here, ancient
The secrets left by the Yuantu people had great temptation, and I couldn't help but start thinking about it secretly, but I still couldn't convince myself to give up.
The three of us swam out of the small hole in the secret room and emerged from the water where the gouges on the river bottom continued to extend. I asked the two of them if they wanted to continue walking. What Lao An said was bullshit to me.
, but there is a very reasonable saying, since we are together, I must be responsible for my companions.
"I listen to you." Fan Tuan didn't have any opinion. When he said this, Su Xiaomeng couldn't make up his mind either, and the final decision fell to me.
People who think too much will become indecisive. I didn’t want to waste so much time, so I simply threw away all the thoughts in my heart, took a look around the dark river, and said with a cruel heart: "Then let's go."
The kappa gave some hints. The gouges on the bottom of the river will lead to another waterway. During this period, it will be completely filled with water. There will be no chance to breathe, so you have to swim across it in one breath. I made it clear to the two of them, and then put my hand in my hand.
I turned my flashlight to the brightest, took a deep breath, and dove into the water.
It is not absolutely lonely under the cold water. You can see unknown fish swimming back and forth in the light. The gouge marks on the bottom of the river have always been very clear. A long time ago, the Yuantu people used these gouge marks to make huge
The iron ball bypassed the complicated terrain and was transported to a deeper place in the space. After I got into the water, Fan Tuan and Su Xiaomeng followed. We didn’t have diving equipment, so the three of us were pulling one by one. Gradually, the feeling in my lungs
The oxygen was about to be used up, and the feeling of being on the verge of suffocation made me panic. I speeded up again, and soon, one end emerged from the water.
The kappa's tip was correct. This is a waterway connected to an underground river. It is very narrow. The gouge marks extend from the bottom of the waterway along the terrain to the shore, and then continue forward. The terrain here is more complicated than before, with high and low levels on the rugged road.
Ups and downs, like a mountain that has been shrunk countless times.
The chisel marks are continuously extending in a winding and rugged way. We have been walking along the chisel marks. Calculating forward and backward, the length of the chisel marks is already very considerable. I admire the perseverance and perseverance of the Yuantu people very much. However,
This undoubtedly shows that what they want to do is a very important thing, and they will not hesitate to pay the corresponding price for it. I still don’t have a clear concept in my mind. After discussing with Fan Tuan and the others, they couldn’t come up with something more unique.
opinion.
"How long are the gouge marks?" Fan Tuan felt tired as he walked. I suspected that those gouge marks would extend to the very end of this underground space, where the secret would be revealed.
With this idea in mind, I kept insisting. Soon, a very steep slope appeared in front of us, and the chisel marks also extended along the bottom of the stone slope. We adjusted the direction and continued to follow the chisel marks. This is equivalent to
We were crossing a rocky slope. This rocky slope was not only steep, but also very long. We walked about three to four hundred meters and only reached the middle of the rocky slope. It was very difficult for Fan Tuan to carry two people's supplies alone. I didn't want to
He was exhausted all of a sudden, so he took a rest on the spot. Fan Tuan was fat and Su Xiaomeng was thin, but they were both foodies. Whenever they were free, they would dig out some food from their bags to grind their teeth.
Boom...
Less than five minutes after we sat down, I felt a very, very weak vibration on the ground under my feet, and accompanying the vibration was a vague thunder-like sound. This sudden sound involuntarily reminded me of
When we reached the Thunder Valley we encountered on the way, goosebumps suddenly appeared on our bodies.
"What's going on?" Fan Tuan and Su Xiaomeng also felt it, turning their heads and looking back and forth. In a few seconds, the rumbling thunder-like noise became intensive to a certain extent, and then I noticed the source of the noise.
.
I quickly raised my flashlight and shined it towards the top of the rock slope. The range of the light was limited, but I could still see a large piece of stone like stone rolling down from the top of the slope. I don’t know if this was a coincidence or if it was us.
I was extremely unlucky. When I saw the tendency of the rocks to roll down, I secretly thought that it was terrible. The rolling rocks were lined up in a line, almost covering the long rock slope. It was like an avalanche that suddenly broke out between the snow peaks. Once the avalanche started, people
There is nowhere to escape.
Our situation suddenly became passive and extremely dangerous. The three of us happened to reach the middle of the stone slope. No matter whether we moved forward or backward, it was impossible to escape from this life-and-death line. Su Xiaomeng was in a daze, and large and small stones rolled down with the help of them.
The inertia is getting faster and fiercer, and the rumbling sound is endless, as if dense thunder is exploding above the head.
"Run!" Fan Tuan shouted, not even asking for his backpack, and beckoning us to run. I didn't want to sit and wait for death. Even though I knew I couldn't escape, I hurriedly analyzed it and decided to run forward. Su Xiaomeng
Probably because she was frightened, I ran out two steps, but she was still in a daze. I turned around, grabbed her, and ran forward as hard as I could.
My speed has reached the limit of my physical ability, but I can't outrun the rapidly falling stones. I ran no more than ten meters away, and the first stone finally fell to the bottom of the stone slope. The stone as big as a washbasin fell from
Rolling down from a high place, the energy is astonishing. Even Fan Tuan's size will definitely be smashed to pieces.
As the first stone slipped, we were completely enveloped. I suddenly stopped while running, hugged Su Xiaomeng and turned around violently, and several large stones slid past us.
Stone chips and dust were flying everywhere, and Su Xiaomeng couldn't help but scream, his face turned pale with fright.
"If you can run! You should run first!" Su Xiaomeng was probably completely frightened, and without looking at the situation in front of him, he told me to go first with dignity.
I didn't even have a chance to reply, and I couldn't move even an inch. I could only try my best to avoid the falling stones in a very small area. The stones were like a tide, and no one could survive such an overwhelming blow.
I persisted for too long, and I barely managed to hide for two minutes. Fan Tuan behind me let out a loud scream. But the scream did not last, and seemed to be cut off halfway through.
My heart tightened, and I looked back hastily, just in time to see Fan Tuan being covered by several rocks. I could see the splash of blood, which immediately dyed the rocks red. I didn't know if he was hit.
He died, but instantly became silent. I yelled twice, but he didn't respond.
The current situation is more difficult than when we were attacked by a swarm of bats. We had some ways to postpone the crisis before, but now, it seems that all we can do is wait for death.
Su Xiaomeng was no longer in the mood to leave his last words to the world. As I dodge, I screamed one after another. I couldn't care about anything else. I only had one thought in my mind: This time, no one will do it again.
If we can save us, even if the huge phoenix flies, even if Lao An and the others rush to our side immediately, we will still be dead.
I regret a little. When Wu Shengli was about to die, he gave me a small bronze furnace, which contained some scabs made by ancient alchemists using the guano of phoenixes. The efficacy of the scabs is that
I don't doubt it, but maybe out of a little prejudice against Wu Shengli, I don't completely trust him, so I didn't carry those scabs with me.
There were no reinforcements, no retreat, and no phoenix scabs. All of this showed without a doubt that we were doomed.
I couldn't hold on anymore, because the speed and density of the rocks rolling down were beyond what a human could handle. When I was busy trying to resist, Su Xiaomeng next to me was suddenly hit in the middle by a rock. The rock was not that big.
, but her body was so petite and weak, and the stone was undoubtedly fatal. Like Fan Tuan, her screams stopped abruptly. In the dim light, I vaguely saw her powerlessly turning her eyes, looking at me, and mouthing
, there was blood foam surging out from his nose.
My sweat kept flowing downwards, and occasionally gravels the size of fingernails would fly out and hit my hands and face, causing pain. This meant that what I encountered was not a dream. I didn't want to
I left Fan Tuan and Su Xiaomeng behind, but now, I can't even protect my own life.
What was shaking in front of my eyes was the scene when Su Xiaomeng fell. To me, death is not the most painful thing. Everyone is afraid of death, but when it really comes, people may not have time to think about it.
What, it passed all at once. But when you see the people around you falling in a pool of blood in front of you, but you are unable to save them, the sadness is like something gnawing at your heart, it hurts like death
.
I couldn't save her, and I didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Stones were still rolling down around her. I didn't believe she would die, so I tried my best to save her from the stones as if she was still alive.
The distance between us was only two meters, but at this moment, the distance between us became an insurmountable chasm. I stepped over in one step, and as soon as my outstretched hand touched the corner of Su Xiaomeng's clothes, I felt
The back of my head was hit by a rock. The force was so strong that it immediately knocked me aside. I fell to the ground in front of my body. My head seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms and I was too dazed to lift it up.
There was not much room for thinking, and my consciousness fell into a trance in an instant. What I thought and saw in my mind and in front of me soon became blurry.
I couldn't tell if I had closed my eyes, but for a short period of time, I suddenly felt that the dark underground became brighter, as if every corner was shrouded in a white light. That white light connected the world
, causing the whole world to fall into this strange transparency.
Vaguely, with what little consciousness I had left, I felt that there were slowly floating clouds in this vast white light, but those clouds were like flying dandelions.
