Chapter 218: Separated
Standing on the rectangular green rock and looking down, the largest wind tunnel at the bottom of the “wind erosion lake” is dark, I don’t know how deep it is, compared to the City of Shadows, which is made of memory fragments, it is not difficult to see that the largest hole at the bottom of the lake is the huge “stone eye” located at the top of the hive. “Smashed out, in the “evil Luo sea city” collapsed and fell, the huge stone weighing thousands of kilograms, the main city of the top wall through, directly through the down, through the structure we just saw in the city, even if the collapse of the following, the eye of the stone will not be sunk too deep, and the lake water did not form a strong And the lake water did not form a strong submerged current or vortex, and could only penetrate down from between the cracks of the ruins of the city, all of these signs indicate that the lake water is not too deep, but if you want to enter the temple that is even deeper than the beehive, as well as the altar, you have to go through the wind eroded caverns that will collapse at any time, and there may be some caverns that are not devoid of water, and the terrain is very complicated, and it can be said that those who go down there are going to have to put their heads on the waistband of their pants and play with their lives.
At this time Uncle Ming neck mark, than just now to be much deeper, it seems to leave us very limited time, this time unless within a day or two, like Professor Chen, as far as to escape to the other side of the ocean, otherwise stay near the remains of the ancient city, I’m afraid to live is not two or three days, it seems that the closer the ghost cave this energy, the more hemoglobin absorption of this imaginary number of space, the more real the feeling, the more intense, feeling that While feeling its existence, one becomes a part of it and can never be relieved.
Uncle Ming was in tears, nagging us, not to go down is dead, if you go down is even more head to the muzzle of the gun, although the fish in the lake does not hurt people, but the two black and white speckled auger may suddenly leap down at any time, their kind of violent and ferocious beasts, once the impact of the underwater, can never be resisted by manpower, and who can guarantee that there are no more dangerous things in the depths of the underground, the more I think about it, the more I feel weak in the legs.
Fatty, Shirley Yang and I are busy making preparations before going into the water, do not have time to experience the complex feelings of Uncle Ming, in addition to retaining the necessary weapons and explosives, as well as lighting equipment, fuel, medicines, cold punchy clothes, the rest of the things are all discarded, in accordance with our judgment, because the original site has been submerged by the water, so glacier crystal corpse’s brain, is certainly by the reincarnation of the Sect buried underneath the Shadow of the City of Shadows, and her Her eyes, should be in the “evil Luo sea city” the real ruins of the lower part, but the most likely, it has been swallowed into the fish king’s stomach, of course, these are not important, as long as the ruins, dive into the deep underground altar can be, but the altar of the demonic kingdom, after such a long time, whether it can be retained in the ground. down, was still an unknown.
I said to Fatty and Shirley Yang: “all along, so many difficulties we have insisted on, now is almost the last moment, before we enter Tibet, I asked my brother to start a lesson, encounter water can get in the way, before I will believe in this, now it seems, nothing should be true, this trip will not fall through.”
The fat man said: “fragrant flowers are not necessarily good-looking, capable people do not necessarily say, I will not say anything, and so find a place you will see me, ghost hole demon hole I do not care, anyway, we can not return empty-handed, what pearl agate must be chiseled down to bring back, do not need to say more, this is to go, into the water.” Said press mouth respirator and diving goggles, straight jumped into the “wind erosion of the lake, stirred up a large area of white pearl general splash, startled the lake swimming fish fled everywhere.
Shirley Yang said to me, “If I didn’t want to go to the desert in Xinjiang in the first place, I wouldn’t have caused this much trouble, I know you and Fatty are generous, I won’t say anything about apologizing and being grateful, but I still have to tell you one thing, make sure to be cautious, and at the last moment, you can’t afford to be careless.”
I nodded to Shirley Yang, she also jumped into the lake by the green rock, I instructed a few words to Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang behind me, telling them to just wait here, and we will definitely come back to pick them up when we’re done, and then also leapt down from the rock with a long stride, the formation of fishes in the lake was still moving slowly near the crystal wall, and didn’t disperse because of the three people falling into the water one after the other.
Just with the fat man, Shirley Yang in the lake convergence, not waiting to start action, Uncle Ming with Ah Xiang also slipped into the water, I said to Uncle Ming this can really add to the chaos, you stay up there well, down to stir up what? We don’t have so many oxygen cylinders.
Uncle Ming dragged Ah Xiang, while treading water, said to me: “Alas …… don’t mention it, just now in the above see, the forest and there is a movement, I am afraid that the two speckled scaly scow got up the temperament, and want to go to the lake to eat the fish, I want to remind you up there, but the legs are a little weak, did not stand still, fell down. ”
I looked back at the “wind erosion lake” side of the forest, only the slight wind of the mountains swept through the treetops, do not see any unusual movement, and then understand, things are obvious, Uncle Ming this dead old man, worried that we can not go down to the altar, find another way to get away, leaving him alone, he has this kind of worry is not a day or two.
Since they came down, I can not help, can not let them soak in the water regardless, but they only have scuba diving goggles, no oxygen tanks, had to also according to the previous method, the people share oxygen tanks, so let the group gathered together in the lake, re-do the concise deployment, from the huge eye of the wind erosion of the rock hole smashed down, which seeps down the water seepage of the powerful from where to go.
We were just about to go down, the fish in the lake suddenly appeared a strong commotion, those non-white-bearded fish, like a headless fly jumping about, once escaped into the cavern at the bottom of the lake, never came out again, and tens of thousands of white-bearded fish formed a fish formation, but also slightly trembling, seems to look extremely nervous.
Seeing the behavior of these fish, I immediately felt bad, and secretly thought: it seems that this Uncle Ming is not only our side of the Italian, in addition to helping, he also has the potential of the bad mouth emperor.
Just had this thought, the lake that “fish formation” has been part of the collapse, seems to be inside the “white bearded old fish” injury is too serious, can not hang these fish, and some white-bearded fish feel that their ancestors may be dying, the fighting spirit is also disintegrated, but there is still a part of the tightly articulated into the Italian side, in addition to help, he also has the potential of the bad mouth emperor. But there are still some tightly knit into a ball, rather die than disperse, but the scale is too small.
I estimate that once the fish formation is dispersed or weakened, the “mottled sculpins” behind the mountain will soon leap out, and they won’t let go of the opportunity to bite this old fish to death, and later in this quiet “wind-eroded lake”, I’m afraid that it will set off another bloody storm. Both sides will fight, if the old fish is bitten to death, then want to go down to the water will not have the opportunity.
Opportunity is not to be lost, I hurriedly make a downward gesture, all the people dive into the bottom of the lake, the remaining half of the “fish array” is moving to the center of the lake, we just swim through the bottom of it, dense white-bearded fish, one only expressionless, fish eyes straight, of course, the fish itself is no expression, but in the water underwater to see this scene at close range, it would be Feel as if these “white-bearded fish” like a team of generous to die, will soon be on the battlefield of the generals, wooden look added a few points of sadness and color.
Not too deep under the lake, is the “hive” top of the hole, just dive into it, the water in the lake was stirred up, a stream of blood and white-bearded fish flesh, fish scales, are seeping down into the dark current, brought into the wind-eroded rock on both sides of the hole.
Fatty gestured to me, it seems that the upper side has dried up, and pointed to the bottom, the way down was blocked by a huge stone ball, but the original appearance of the stone eye could no longer be seen, a thick layer of transparent mayflies gathered on it, as well as a variety of small shrimps and fish at the end of the biological chain, it seems that we can only go down from the side around the side, so the people took turns to use the respirator, slowly swim to the side of the hole, the deeper it went, it was felt the downward dark surge of the current get stronger.
In a cavern passage, Shirley Yang gradually groping, to confirm which direction is feasible, because directly down is the most dangerous, the millions of years of wind eroded rock under enormous pressure, has long been unbearable, may be overhead “stone eye” when it will smash down, be shot down to become a pile of meat paste, to be safe, only from the side of the detour down the most dangerous. To be safe, only from the side of the detour down the most secure.
Finally we dive into a hundred square meters of large wind tunnel, this is like a former ancient city of a hall, a few like the temple, the top wall has broken a big hole, but inside the storage full of water, the water flow is relatively stable, it seems to be only the top of the entrance, the other way is blocked by rock sand and debris, although you can seep down, but people can not go through, people had to hold up the lighting searchlight in the underwater feel a circle, the oxygen left little, and then can not find the way, if you can not find the way, if you can not find the way, you can not go through, you can not go through. If you can’t find a way out, if you don’t swim back to the surface, staying at the bottom of this labyrinthine wind-eroded lake is a dead end.
There is no way out, we feel very anxious, the hall in the lake water suddenly became turbid, I looked up at the head of the exit, suddenly feel bad, that more than ten meters long old fish, is being two fierce evil “spotted scaly” bite not let go, struggling to the bottom of the lake where we are in the hall to swim.
“Spotted scaly” are three or four meters long body, although compared with the “white-bearded old fish” is much smaller, but the strange force is infinite, a twist of the body, will tear off a large strip of fish meat, and then biting the mouth to live in other parts of not letting go of the old fish, the old fish all over the phosphorus wounds, dying struggles, dragging These two deadly rivals sank, from time to time with the body of the fish hit the wall underwater, hoping to throw them off, at this time the two sides entangled together, tumbling into the underwater temple.
In front of these underwater behemoths, the power of human beings is too insignificant, I gesture to the crowd, quickly dispersed, back upstream, this temple although spacious, but can not afford them so tossed, but in the water underwater action is slow, do not wait for the crowd dispersed, the old fish has taken two mottled auger backward collision to the bottom of the temple.
The bottom of the temple is also snow-white “wind-etched rock”, that body as big as a dragon white bearded fish, injured and mad after the power of how huge, this fish’s fish head is very hard, directly hit the ground out of a big hole, however, the bottom of the temple is also very strong, the fish head is just stuck in the in which they can not act, and want to rush down to make the effort, want to draw back is also impossible! However, the head of the fish was just stuck in it and could not move, and it was impossible to rush down, and it was impossible to draw it back out.
All plans have been disrupted, we are afraid of being hit by its fish tail in the chaos, scattered in all corners to avoid, due to the scattered, and underwater, I have no way to confirm whether the rest of the people are still alive, I can only ask for my own good fortune.
Two black and white “mottled scaly” see the old fish is trapped, ecstatic, underwater teeth and claws in circles, is calculating from where the mouth to end the king of the fish’s life, they are stimulated by the blood in the water, with the same as smoking a big cigarette, seems a little over-excited, this toss does not matter, but actually found the hall there are people, one of them in the underwater a pendulum! Tail, like a black and white pattern of torpedoes, scurried over.
At this time, the hole at the bottom of the temple began to appear around the cracks, the turbid blood water followed the irrigation, visibility immediately increased a lot, I used the underwater searchlight to sweep, only to see leaped out of the mottled scaly, straight to the not far away Shirley Yang and A-Xiang, the two of them share an oxygen tank, they are hiding in the corner of the temple want to find an opportunity to leave, but it is too late, I want to go to the rescue, and how that faster than a torpedo! I wanted to go over to rescue them, but how could the “mottled scow” which was faster than a torpedo, and even if I went over there, it wasn’t enough for me to stuff my teeth with it.
The situation is very critical, suddenly the pressure of the underwater current increased violently, that stuck in the middle of the hive of thousands of uniform stone eyes, finally fell, pounced on Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang’s head of the “mottled scaly”, but also by the sudden boulder scared silly, but also forgot to dodge, was smashed squarely, the buoyancy of the lake is limited, the boulder’s falling The lake’s buoyancy is limited, the boulder’s fall has a whole lake above the water followed by downward irrigation, smashed into the “mottled jiao” after even a rash did not play, followed by the bottom of the underwater temple smashed through the hall, all the things in the hall, all the brain by the huge stream of water rushing downward.
I feel in the water only the sky hangs on the ground, the body is like falling into the bottomless ghost hole, below is a large unimaginable underground space, can only close the mouth and nose, to prevent being choked by the torrent, in a trance, found a large area of white light below, seems to be produced by the illusion of light and strange, I do not know the rest of the people are where to go.
The body fell into a lake, here on the rocks vaguely faint fluorescence, but do not see too real, there are hundreds of water columns of varying sizes, through the head of the various holes poured into the lake, suddenly a strong hand will pull me, I fixed my mind to look at the original is the fat man, to see the companions of the life and death of the companions, suddenly feel a lot of peace of mind, shot the spotlight on the helmet, looking for the whereabouts of the other three people.
As the water here continues to the east of the deep stream rolling, a little slack, may be continued to be swept down, I and Fatty had to swim to the nearby shore, opened his voice and shouted half a day, but were drowned out by the sound of the water rushing down, Uncle Ming, Ah Xiang, Shirley Yang are unaccounted for.
Fatty and I discussed, must have been washed downstream by the water, hurry to go down around the road to find it, life to see people, death to see the body, this underground world, the topography of the strange landscape, belong to our lives have not seen, just lifted the step, we saw a large dragonfly-like aquatic mayfly, the whole body flashing fluorescence from the top of the head flew by, surprisingly, there are more than six inches long, like the air fluttering with the white ghosts.
Just a distraction, plus lost several people, mind some trance, did not pay attention to look at the road under the feet, it happens to be a gravel slope, the two stepped on the upper side of the foot can not be collected, tumbled and slid down, not yet wait to react, has fallen in the air, this slope is very short, the lower side is suspended, we fell down seven or eight meters, fell on a big fluffy deejay, a moment of dizziness, but the good thing is that this place is very soft, but suddenly, we fell down, and we are not in a hurry, but we have to go back to the place. Fell down also does not hurt, but suddenly found not quite right, this feel …… even fell on a piece of meat, hurry to let their sanity calm down, take a closer look, not meat, I and the fat man looked at each other: “This fucking eighty percent is a mushroom ah…. . ten-story-high imperial mushrooms.”
