Volume 8 Chapter 41 Entrance

Uncle San’s eyes were filled with stars, but he didn’t have much of a temper. He was too embarrassed to say anything about the situation he had gotten himself into, so he just let himself be carried back into the depths of the well. was also the same dry well as before, but it was even wider. It seemed that there had been a collapse, and there were huge rocks blocking the bottom of the well. There were a lot of withered tree roots above. I looked up and thought that the ruins above should be on the ground. On the huge rocks, I saw a few people waiting for us.

I walked up and saw the fat guy wrapped up in a blanket, still unconscious. Someone was giving him an injection. I felt relieved and sighed, “God bless. It seems that while the white guy was saving me, someone else saved the fat guy. This bastard is lucky.

I also saw the white guy sitting on the rotten wood, wearing a gas mask and huddled between the roots. The white skin looked snow-white in the water, but looked very strange when viewed from above, as if it were yellowing. I took a closer look and found that it was a very old-looking diving suit.

When I looked at the others again, almost all of them were wearing diving suits, but they were all new. It was obvious that Uncle San had made very good preparations.

The man didn’t notice me, and I thought that I had barely seen his face just now. I thought to myself that this was a great benefactor, and I wanted to thank him. When I was being carried to him, I wanted to say thank you, but the man turned his head, and I saw a pair of very familiar black glasses through the lens of the gas mask.

I was stunned, and I thought to myself, it was him! I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

He looked up and saw me, and it seemed like he smiled, and he nodded to me.

I nodded and just wanted to thank him, but then Uncle San came over and dragged me to him. He squatted down in front of me, looked me over, and sighed: “How could you be so disobedient, you little brat?”

I felt a bit embarrassed. I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to call out to him, but he stopped me with a gesture. He sat down and didn’t scold me. He immediately asked me in a soft voice in Changsha dialect, “Don’t talk. I’m asking you, where are Pan Zi and the little brother?”

I immediately told him about what we had just experienced. When he heard it, he said, “I didn’t expect this fat guy to be so smart. He got caught this time.”

“What’s wrong?” I felt uncomfortable when I heard him say that.

“The snakes here are too evil. They can learn human language. Their combs can imitate the sounds they hear and lure you over. We almost got killed by them.” One of the workers said, “In this ghostly place, you can’t believe anything you hear.”

I looked at the fat guy and asked Uncle San, “How is that guy? Is he okay?”

“He’s already been given a serum. From now on, he’s just going to have to take his chances.” Uncle San looked at his watch and said to me, “Take off your clothes.”

“Take off my clothes? What’s going on?” I thought to myself, “They’ve already started. They ripped off my shirt in one go and pressed me against the well wall. As soon as I took off my clothes, I immediately heard a soft ‘Damn, it’s real!’ I don’t know who said it.

I was stunned and cold sweat came down. What does this mean? What’s on my back? I wanted to turn around and look at my back, but I was suddenly held down.

”Don’t! Don’t move!“ Uncle San whispered, ‘Just stand there!’

I started to get goose bumps, so I went to feel my back, but I couldn’t feel anything. The smell was there, but it was also not there. It was unbearably uncomfortable.

”What’s on my back?“ I asked, and then I heard Uncle San hush again. ‘My ancestors, don’t be curious at this time. You’ll know later.’ Then I heard the sound of a firecracker.

”What the hell?” I thought to myself. I thought to myself, “Is he trying to burn a flag of loyalty to the country?”

I felt my back burning. Before I could get ready, I suddenly felt something move on my back, and then we all heard a series of cries coming from behind me. What made me shudder was that the sound actually sounded like a baby’s voice.

Before I could think about it, Uncle San had already made his move. I felt something hot poke me in the back several times, and it was so hot that I almost jumped up. At the same time, the strange cries became more and more shrill, and then the thing moving on my back slid down. It felt like a ball of loach falling off your back.

“It’s coming down, get away!” I didn’t know who had cried out, but I quickly stood up. I didn’t know why my legs were weak, and I couldn’t stand up successfully. I stumbled and looked back. I saw several white things as thick as pencils hanging from my ankles like intestines. I kicked them off with a backward step, but in an instant, those things all moved. I clearly saw the small fangs open in their mouths and bite towards my calves.

At that moment, someone on the side shot, and I saw a flash of black light, and a stone smashed down, killing the first one. Then the stones smashed down, and in an instant, the heads of all these snakes were smashed flat, turning into a mass of pulp.

I retracted my foot and looked, wiping the cold sweat off my face, and saw that it was a snake that was twisted like an intestine, white and white, with only a body left, rolling and twisting endlessly. I felt the mucus on my back slide down my spine, and I sat down on the ground and started to dry heave.

Uncle San slashed the snakes a few more times, cutting them in half, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He handed me his clothes and said, “Wipe yourself clean and put them on.

”What… what… what’s going on?” I asked, touching my back. I realized that they were all small chicken-crown snakes, but these snakes weren’t red, they were white. They were also very small.

“These are just hatched snakes, their skin is not yet hard. You were in the Dead Man’s Pool, and there are actually lots of these snakes under the mud there. If something passes by, it will definitely be attached. Almost everyone had them before. One person said, “The snake bites your skin with its teeth. You will only feel a little pain, and then your back will go numb. You won’t feel it even if you are whipped with a whip. Then it will slowly drill into your skin and suck your blood. When it grows up and becomes poisonous enough to kill you, it will come out of your skin. At this time, it will be full of blood and its skin will turn red.”

I looked at the snake and was still in shock. I wondered how it had gotten on my back and how I had not felt a thing.

How could I not have felt something when such a disgusting thing had burrowed into my clothes?

I thought about it. I had felt something biting my ankle in the water. Could it have been at that time that the snakes had crept up on me? I touched my back and felt the slimy, disgusting feeling.

I wiped it off with my clothes, and then a group of people retreated from the wellhead. When they saw Uncle San, they shook their heads and whispered, “Uncle San, it’s impossible to get out that way. What should we do?”

Uncle San stood up, thought for a moment, sighed, nodded, and said to him, “There’s no way. We can’t stay here anymore. We have to go back. We’ll only come out again tomorrow.” Then he scolded me again, “Tell the brothers to set out.”

The man nodded and then whistled to the people around him, and they all stood up. They immediately loaded their equipment.

I was also helped up, and when my uncle saw that I seemed to have something to say, he said to me, “If you have anything to say, wait until we get back to where we are staying. It’s too dangerous here. Don’t talk in the shaft, understand?”

I understood his concerns and nodded to show that I understood. They immediately set off and retreated deeper into the shaft.

I had no idea where I was going, but I knew that visibility was extremely low. From time to time, I could hear a “cackling” sound coming from the depths of the side tunnels, very close and very high-pitched. Obviously, this was their territory, and there were snakes all around us.

I was a little nervous, but there were so many people here that when a snake called out, someone would immediately sound the alarm in that direction, which somewhat reassured me. It seems that people really need a sense of security.

I don’t know how long we had been walking, but during that time we passed two water wells. I estimated that it had been at least an hour. I began to hear a sound in the silent well, a sound that was very familiar and gradually appeared. I wanted to ask, but the others didn’t speak all the way, not even a cough, so I was embarrassed to make a sound.

As we went deeper into the tunnel, the temperature gradually dropped. After walking for a while, we began to pass some severely damaged areas. Above us, we could still see traces of dried moss and vines, and some had living roots, which had grown downwards from the roots above, winding around the gaps in the stones. We were sure that this section of the tunnel was close to the ground, and that perhaps we could see sunlight if we poked at any random stone.

We climbed through the tangled roots clinging to the walls of the well. I could vaguely see some blackened snake skins that had rotted away. I knew that this was an active area for snakes. I thought it was scary. This complex sewer system could probably be compared to ancient Rome. I never expected it to become a huge snake nest.

This kind of biological defense technology is considered high-tech in the Western Regions. I don’t know why this country didn’t continue to dominate at the time. I feel that maybe finally a country found a way to deal with these poisonous snakes.

We walked for a long time, until I felt dizzy, and we finally reached our destination. I saw a faint light from afar, and as I walked closer, I discovered that it was a huge step-like cistern, consisting of six to seven terraced pools connected together. It seemed to be the same underground structure as the Roman baths. After climbing down, we found a large number of caves on the entire rock wall around us. The caves were very deep and large, like stone square holes, and it seemed that they were all connected by passages and stone steps, forming a corridor between the caves.

So I felt that it might be a place for religious worship. In any case, it should not be a simple reservoir. Because there are signs of human activity here.

The firelight came from the grotto. We went up a flight of steps, passed through the passageways between the grottoes, and entered a relatively spacious grotto, which was as large as 60 to 70 square meters.

We went in and saw tents, sleeping bags and a lot of equipment, all of which were piled up in a messy manner. There were two people sitting by the campfire, presumably keeping watch. They were facing away from us and didn’t seem to notice that we had returned.

The whole group was exhausted, and we had no strength in our feet.

I was put down, and I jumped a few times on one foot. The person holding me was exhausted, rubbed his shoulders, and kicked the two people watching the fire, saying, “Why don’t you get up and give the little master a seat?

I was about to say that there was no need to be so polite, but the two of them suddenly fell down and fell to the ground. When we looked, we couldn’t help but gasp. The two of them had black faces and wide-open eyes on both sides.
