Chapter 220: The flare rising from the lake
In the undulating and staggered mushroom forest, “Maru flaws” suddenly shrunk into a ball, standing on the “emperor mushroom” fat man also constantly swinging his arm, playing an emergency retreat signal, I see this situation hastily grabbed Uncle Ming’s arm, dragged him backwards and left.
Behind me came a burst of mushroom shaking sound, listen to the sound of the number of quite a lot, at least three sides of the siege, only the lake that direction is not, I do not care to look back to see what things, just to the location of the fat man all the way to the mad dash, the fat man has never shot, which means that those things away from me is still far away, or did not chase up, and so we climbed the trapezoidal mushroom mountain, back to the ” emperor mushroom” on. When we climbed the trapezoidal mushroom mountain, back to the “Emperor Mushroom”, Uncle Ming immediately collapsed, “huffing and puffing” like a broken bellows like gasping into a ball.
Fatty and I took out the binoculars, along the way back and forth, just now that piece of mushroom jungle in the open space, appeared hundreds of morphology as if a small fox or snow mouse “ground Guanyin”, they are such a guy like silver fox fur, sharp teeth and claws, good at making holes, but also because of its call like a tiger, so the scientific name is called the snow quail, but they can only be in the hot springs or geothermal areas of survival. Hot springs or geothermal area to survive, the nature of cunning and cruelty, in Karamir also commonly known as them for the ground wolves, or called “ground Guanyin”, many local people’s homes, are to be this animal fur made of household items, the value of very high, the Northeast also, but the number is small, the appearance of fur is not as good as that of the Kunlun Mountains, more like a weasel.
Large group of “ground Goddess of Mercy” to is a white wall, will be the “pill flaws” tightly surrounded, they seem to be disciplined, who did not act rashly, just silent lying around, not long, from the team climbed out of a silver hair “! Ground Goddess of Mercy”, it seems to be the leader of these “Ground Goddess of Mercy”, only to see it lifted its front paws and stood up, pushed the motionless “Pill flaws” with its claws, and then circled around it twice, and returned to the team.
At this time, the rest of the “Earth Goddess of Mercy” have come forward, close to the “Maruyao”, opened its mouth at a very close distance, and blew air along the “Maruyao” tightly shrunken hard shell gap, not for a while, the “Maruyao” was not a moment’s work. In a short while, the “pill flaws” seems to be unable to resist the itch in general, the tightening of the armor stretching out, without the slightest resistance, by dozens of “Earth Goddess of Mercy” overthrow the past, face to face, can only be slaughtered by it.
Due to the distance is too far, although this hole everywhere in the fluorescence, but the interval between the dark area if too much, the light will be absorbed by the darkness of the underground space weakened, I and fat man can not see those “ground Goddess of Mercy” make what evil tricks, only to see that poor “Maru flaws “like a prawn in general, in a moment was peeled off the shell, revealing the inside translucent meat, the group of” Earth Goddess of Mercy “they peeled” Maru Flawless “meat, resisted on the body, carried to the far corner to go.
Fatty and I look at each other, lying on the “emperor mushroom”, half a day can not speak, that hundreds of thousands of “Earth Goddess of Mercy”, we do not care, just that scene, indeed is by no means “Earth Goddess of Mercy! “This kind of beast can do out of behavior, their habits are three to five groups, rarely so many gathered together, and surprisingly orderly, the most incredible is that they stripped the “Maru flaws” after, and do not compete for food, as if it is in the general ceremony, will be transported elsewhere food, but these But these guys are not like termites that have the habit of storing food, this kind of behavior is too abnormal.
Fatty thought for half a day and said, “Maybe they know that prices have risen more recently and want to hoard some tight supplies, this is a group that engages in speculation.”
I shook my head, suddenly had a bad feeling, in those ancient rituals and legends recorded in the human skin murals, as well as the world’s enemy of the treasure pearl king’s deeds, there are more than once mentioned that the “Demon Kingdom” priests can drive wild animals, collectively known as the “Demon Slave”, this kind of thing is not impossible, this kind of thing is not impossible. It is not impossible that some lost herbs and formulas can control the simple behavior of wild beasts.
I feel that those “Earth Goddess of Mercy” is very unusual, they must be controlled by some kind of power, the food is not for them to eat, may be in the vicinity of the underground altar, there is some kind of guardian altar things, these minions may be to it to transport the food, if Shirley Yang and A-Xiang mistakenly into the altar, they are alone! If Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang enter the altar by mistake, they will be in trouble.
Seeing the large group of “Earth Goddess of Mercy” far away, they probably went to catch other foodstuffs, Uncle Ming also finally took a breath of air, I asked him if he could walk on his own. If he can not go, stay in the waiting for us, we have to go to the second level of the underground lake to look for the two people lost, perhaps this emperor mushroom has a special odor, ordinary things do not dare to approach, stay here should still be relatively safe.
Uncle Ming immediately showed his attitude, when he was washed down from the temple by the water, he didn’t see the rest of the people, relying on his own water proficiency, he had swum in big rivers and oceans before, he didn’t drink a few mouthfuls of water to save his life, now of course we have to look for them together, if Ah Heung has a long life, he can’t rest in peace, so we came down from the Emperor Mushroom, and meandered down to the side of the underground lake, here there are more big mayflies, not only in the air, but also on the ground are full of them and the larvae that failed to shed their shells, we have to stay here. them and the corpses of larvae that had failed to shed their shells, the whole area, shrouded in a luminescent glow of death.
There are also several huge natural tunnels around the lake, the water from the underground lake flows into the lake, forming a huge dark river, and this is only the exposed ones, together with the water system hidden deeper underground, creating a huge intricate water network here, one thing needless to say is also clear to all of us, we are basically lost now, and we don’t dare to leave the double-layer underground lake for too far, surrounded by an unknown area, completely unfamiliar geological landscapes, including those that have never been seen before. All around us are unknown areas, completely unfamiliar geology and landforms, including those weird insects that we have never seen before, and that sieve-like arc top, easy to come down, difficult to go up, there is no possibility to go back from there, thinking of these will feel a little worried, Shirley Yang with flares and flare gun, it is reasonable that should be through this tool to contact with us, but delayed to see the movement … … …I really don’t dare to think the worst.
This underground lake is very large, we walked along the lake for a long time, only less than a small half circle, always is not see Shirley Yang and A Xiang’s trail, I see the fat man is okay, when all that a virtue, is hungry, see what are intended to catch the grilled eat, and Uncle Ming is tired and hungry, like a deflated ball, so to give them the encouragement of the underground lake is sure to have something good, I have heard of the “Dragon’s Top”. I have long heard that the “Dragon Top” has the Queen Mother of the West refined “Dragon Dan”, maybe we walk, we can pick up a pot, eat a grain of body as light as a swallow, eat two grains of bone, eat a handful of the same life with heaven and earth.
Fatty said: “Hu Commander, you a second political commissar again to bluff us, I listen to this set of words how a bit like the fortune-telling Chen blind man selling power pills when Kan? You do not need to mention what dragon Dan immortal pill now, can give me a fried soybean, I will be satisfied.”
I said to the fat man: “You are small farmers thinking, small wealth, fried soybeans have what to eat? I’m really not blind you, this underground lake is by no means ordinary water, what is this place? In feng shui this is the top of the dragon, these waters are the brains of the ancestral dragon, do not believe you go down to drink a couple of mouthfuls to try, than the nutritional value of soybean juice is still high, drink a few mouthfuls can also be relieved of satiety.”
Uncle Ming heard us talk about food, gulped, unimpressed, said: “Soybean juice that is very difficult to drink, think of when I was in the South Seas, what has not been drunk? Of course, I have drunk everything, we also pay attention to feng shui there, but is it good feng shui place, the water is nutritious? There is no such reasoning, Hu old brother you this can be a bit chaotic cover.”
I thought this Hong Kong farmers and not just scared with three grandchildren like, so Uncle Ming said: “Feng Shui together, not the real transmission, is ultimately a pseudo-study, your old man on the doorway here only understand how much? I tell you the truth, this underground lake water is not only good to drink, but also worth a lot of money, China’s dragon vein is worth how much money, the lake is worth how much money, and not have the Kunlun only have dragon vein hair, not this lake, Kunlun Ancestral Dragon is nothing, the ancients have a very appropriate analogy, no Xiangyang Jingzhou is not enough to use the martial arts, no Hanzhong Bashu not enough to survive the risk of having nothing to do with Henan Henan can not live in Henan, the situation is also due to the wind and water itself is the objective existence of the same, the wind and water itself is the objective existence, the wind and water itself is the objective existence, the wind and water itself is the objective existence, the same way. Water itself is the objective existence, similarly, without these underground water, the Kunlun Mountain is not worthy of the head of the dragon, although in addition to the ancient devils of the country’s believers, may outsiders have not seen this underground water system, but in almost all of the theory of feng shui, have argued its existence, which is called the creation of heaven and earth, the yin and yang of the same reason.”
A broad argument, the Uncle Ming Kan was speechless, but this distraction, also do not feel too tired, hungry can only endure, and so the whereabouts of Shirley Yang and A Xiang to find, in order to find a way to go to the sacrifice of the five Tibetan temple, along the edge of the underground lake around the fast circle, the more you go the more cold heart, life is not seen, death is not seen, we look at the heavy black gas in the lake, I’m really afraid that they have been fed to the big fish! We look at the heavy black air in the lake, really afraid that they have been fed to the big fish, or washed into a deeper place, this black gulung east can go where to find?
Just as we were anxious, and planned to look for them in the dark rivers, suddenly from the center of the lower underground lake, a flare was raised, the flare hung in the air, illuminating the surface of the lake, and the frightened mayflies around us tugged at the tail of the light and scattered everywhere, streams of light danced chaotically, and the scene at this time was as bright as fireworks bursting in the dark sky.
I and Uncle Ming, fat man three surprise, surprised is that we around the underground lake search unsuccessfully, it turns out in the darkness of the lake in the heart of a small lake island, really unexpected, happy is since that side of the flare, it means that Shirley Yang at least is still alive, perhaps Ah Xiang is beside her, but through the bleak white light, the lake island is only a conical mountain rises, but did not see half of a person, the light is gradually weakening, not waiting for the careful attention to the light, the light of the lake, the light of the lake, the light of the lake island is not a small island. Gradually weakened, did not wait in a closer look, disappeared into the darkness of the lake.
Uncle Ming was shocked, since there is no one? Then who shot the flare? And why did it take so long to send a signal? This series of questions is nothing more than trying to say that perhaps there is a trap on the island in the lake, which is to lure the group on the hook, venturing there, it is inevitable that they will be wrapped up in a dumpling, or we should think long and hard about it.
I did not pay attention to Uncle Ming’s speculation, while the flare is still hanging in mid-air and did not go out, raised the binoculars to look carefully at the terrain in the lake, the island is indeed no one, but I noticed that the flare just shot up the angle of the vertical, rather than the arc we usually use to launch the method, in addition to the height of the incorrect, which means that the flare is from below the level of the up, the island in the lake, there must be a hole, they may be trapped in it, and the flare will be used as a trap, but it is not a trap. There must be a hole on the island in the lake, and it is possible that they are trapped in it, so it is not too late to swim across to support them as soon as possible.
Three people on the body of the equipment a little bit of organization, out of the only remaining a searchlight, a moment did not dare to delay, they swam into the underground lake, swim desperately to the island in the center of the lake, but found that this lonely island in the lake, not only no one near the trail, even the ground does not have any traces of caves, only in a rocky backside, fell a shot out of the bullets of the M1911, the cartridges are scattered in the surrounding area, it seems that there was a fierce battle, and the owner of the pistol, of course, is the owner of the pistol. The owner of the pistol is of course Shirley Yang.
This island is half the size of a soccer field, the center of the bulge, like a trumpet like buckle down, the terrain is very peculiar, I looked at the rocks under my feet, said to the fat man and Uncle Ming: “This is a dead volcano in the underground mountain, the top is the crater, if they are still alive, it is possible that they fell into the crater.” After saying that, I grabbed the first to run up, and Fatty dragged Uncle Ming to follow behind.
Running out not a few steps, I found some volcanic rock scattered with a lot of rotten hard cypress, the nearby pile of rocks can also be seen is man-made piles, is not the dead volcano in the belly of the volcano, is the evil Luo Hai City’s underground altar? Walking, suddenly saw the ground dropped a broken hand, blood has not yet dried, that is a woman’s hand, wearing a finger to read the auspicious ring, is the iron rod lama to give Ah Xiang.
