Chapter 345 Confined Space
345 Chapter 345 Confined Space

"The material of the mountain here looks dark and has a metallic luster. It looks familiar to me. Do you think it looks like meteorite?" I put my arms around his waist and looked to the left and to the right. He continued with a somewhat trembling look: "Also, there must have been an exit before. There is no doubt about it. The disappearance of the entrance to the cave was not because it collapsed and was blocked by rubble or something, but it was like there was no exit at all. look.

I feel like this mountain is a living thing, and the cave entrance here is like its wound. As long as you give it time, the wound will heal automatically, and the healing speed is extremely fast. When Wu Xie and I come down here, you will heal immediately. After discovering us, we quickly checked the situation in the cave, but still found no entrance to the cave.

Brother, I feel like we are in the belly of this big mountain monster now. If we drag it any longer, even if we don’t starve to death here, we will be completely digested by it, not to mention that there are dangerous objects hidden in the iron blocks. .

Tell me, did you encounter this kind of thing last time we came here? And those things, I think this place is getting more and more scary. "

The little brother took a deep breath and said nothing. He gently stroked my little head and hugged me to comfort me. He realized that I was really starting to get scared. His two little hands were cold, so he hugged me. Holding my waist, I turned sideways, and he led me towards the hole inside.

After listening to the fat man's words, Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, but then broke out in a cold sweat. Then he recalled that when he looked all the way, the two holes were not big, and there was really no place to get out.

Wu Xiejue's mind was a little confused. He immediately turned around, and the fat man supported him and walked through the caves on both sides again.

Wu Xie looked at him and asked: "How could this be? There is no exit here. All the cave walls are made of solid rocks, and there is not even a gap to be found." The fat man looked at him with a bitter look on his face.

Wu Xie felt cold all over his body, but he still refused to give up. He subconsciously looked at the top of the cave. He saw that the top of the cave was very short and could be touched with his hand. He looked around, but the top of the cave was just in line with the rock wall. Exactly the same, still nothing, just a single piece of rock.

The fat man said "Hey" and waved his hands: "No need to look! We have searched every inch and every inch here, inside and outside, up and down. These two holes are completely sealed."

Wu Xie obviously couldn't accept it and said: "How is it possible?"

The fat man sighed again: "I don't know, but this is indeed a fact. This hole seems..." He paused, and then said with a little hesitation: "It is completely closed, as if it was dug out from the inside. of."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible. If so, how did we get in?"

The fat man let him lean against the rock, looked back at us who were following him, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The little brother took me back to the big cave, and we leaned in the corner. I took his arm and leaned against him and started to daze.

Listening to their conversation, I thought about the way I thought of escaping from here. Although it is still just an idea now, I feel that this may be the only way. I have to make sure that everything is foolproof. But I don’t know why, but in my heart Head became more and more frightened.

Wu Xie looked at his little brother and felt that his behavior was a little different from before, a little weird, and he didn't move much. Xiao Xun beside him also felt a little depressed.

At this time, the little brother turned to look at Wu Xie and said lightly: "I have no impression, but I know that things have just begun."

When I heard it, it seemed that the little brother still remembered something, but he couldn't explain it clearly, couldn't say it, or couldn't say it.

At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere seemed more and more weird. Even though Wu Xie had millions of people who didn't believe it, this hole was a sealed space.

Wu Xie asked them: "How did you all get here?"

The fat man patted him and said, "After you left, we started salvaging with the simple equipment Agui brought. In the process of retrieving the old equipment from the fence, we found the dead trees beside the ancient village. Those bones were found in the branches. They must have been sucked in by the siphon tide and stuck there.

The time I went into the water before I disappeared, I was already preparing to surface, but I saw something flashing in the flashlight's range. It felt like some kind of metal.

I originally went into the water to salvage things, so I naturally swam over to take a look. But the strange thing was that when I swam there, I found that there were only some large rocks and no metal objects at all.

At that time, the oxygen in my helmet was almost exhausted. I thought that there might be small pieces of metal or glass scattered in the cracks of the rocks. It was probably not too important, so I prepared to float up.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt myself being bitten by something, and my hand immediately became numb. In just a few seconds, my whole body was numb.

I knew it was bad at that time, and wanted to rush to the water quickly, but it was too late. I passed out immediately, and when I woke up, I was already lying in the cave. "

Wu Xie muttered "Ah" and said, "Is it that simple?"

The fat man said "Yes" and said, "It's not that simple."

Wu Xie looked towards us: "What about you?"

The little brother said: "After the fat man disappeared, I immediately went into the water to look for him, so I went into the water in a hurry. Not long after I entered the water, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I felt something moving behind me. It was too late to turn back. I woke up. I also appeared in this place."

Wu Xie asked me immediately: "Where are you, Xiaoxun?" When he saw me dumbfounded, he called me: "Xiaoxun?" I was thinking about what they said, but when he called me, I reacted and saw him and The fat guys were all looking at me. The fat guy said, "Yes, girl, our little innocent came down fully armed and looked like this. It seems that you didn't have any equipment when you came down. You didn't bring anything with you. Are you?" How we got down, I’ve never said.”

I hemmed and hawed about "I" for a long time, and said to myself, I never thought about this rhetoric... I said, "I just swam down."

The fat man said with a smile: "Little girl, you are fooling us, right? We are looking for clues, and we are not allowed to hide anything."

I directly changed the topic and said: "I was wondering, you felt like you were bitten by something, and then you became paralyzed and unconscious. What could it be?"

Wu Xie frowned and said: "Yes, what could it be? If you were poisoned by some kind of creature and were "bitten" by something and lost consciousness, you would definitely have drowned, but instead you appeared here This place, no matter how you look at it, is not a mysterious phenomenon. It looks too man-made. Someone should have stunned them and moved them here.

But if it is man-made, how can we explain the current situation?This is a completely enclosed cave. Who can push us in through the rocks?It's not magic. "

I shook my head and said, "Actually, you have overlooked one point."

Wu Xie asked: "What?"

I said: "Helmets, they were attacked from behind by something, their whole body was paralyzed, then they became unconscious, and their helmets were also taken off, and finally they appeared here inexplicably."

Brother Wu Xie, have you seen that helmet? It is very troublesome to take it off underwater, and they are all unconscious, so how can they take off the helmet by themselves?

I came down quietly by myself, and only Liyue knew about it, so I just couldn't hold my breath and drowned in the end.

Brother Wu Xie, you were fully armed by yourself, so you probably didn’t let too many outsiders know.

But we went into the mountains to salvage things here before. We came here openly. There were people in the village who were watching our actions at first. Those people didn't want us to explore this matter. What if we came with someone? Not surprising either. "

The fat man thought about the situation at that time, and said with doubts: "The helmet thing does feel like man-made, but I can't figure it out. At that time, I had a good vision underwater. After being stabbed, I was still awake for a short period of time before falling into coma. Yes, I looked around immediately, but there was nothing. If there was someone, I should be able to see it."

Wu Xie said: "Maybe it's a kind of insect or fish. It's relatively small. As long as it sticks to your back, you won't notice it. Do you have any wounds on your body? It's impossible to hurt for no reason. If it's Something stabbed it, there must be traces.”

The fat man asked Wu Xie to look at the place where he was stabbed and said: "This is where I was stabbed. I looked at it as soon as I woke up. There were no traces. I think it's unlikely to be an insect. Think about it, even the little brother was hit. What kind of insect dares to bite him?”

Wu Xie clicked his tongue and said, "This is so weird, it doesn't make sense! All the plots don't make sense, and it's completely unlike what "humans" can do. Is the Lake God really playing tricks on us?"

I said to them: "It seems to me that my brother and the fat man were attacked, but they just didn't see it. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to take off the helmets.

Maybe that person is a veteran who has been guarding this place all year round. What happened here is not just a day and a half, but decades and hundreds of years ago. He should also be aware of the weirdness here. Maybe over the years, anyone who comes here will be disturbed by him. Attacking and knocking someone out silently may seem like a joke to the guard. When you are completely unconscious, he will come out and throw you into the shaft, allowing you to flow naturally downwards with the siphon tide. .

Anyway, he wanted to kill people and silence him. It doesn't matter whether he was swept into this hole by the current and was trapped to death, or whether he was drowned. Killing you is the most important thing.

Brother Wu Xie and I were not paralyzed by anything. I guess that person thought that we would die if we came down, so he was too lazy to do anything. Or maybe he didn't know that we were coming down, so we were not stabbed or paralyzed. Instead, he drowned and passed out because he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

But none of this seems to be important. Regardless of whether it is man-made or not, whether there are monsters and gods, as long as people want to explore the bottom of the lake, they will have only one fate and one result. They will come down here, and it seems that even the body will not be left behind. Down. "

The three of them all looked at me. The younger brother and Wu Xie didn't speak. The fat man said, "Girl, why are your words getting more and more scary?"

I said, "Brother Fatty, where did you find that doll? It was where you got water, right?"

The fat man said: "There is a crack as thick as a wrist on the roof of the cave outside, and that's where I found the giant salamander.

There is just a gap between the two holes, and there is a steady stream of water flowing down from the top. The ground is full of large and small puddles, and the water flows down the gaps in the rocks below. "

I nodded and said "Oh" and thought to myself, apart from the gap where water is taken, there are some naturally formed tiny cracks in this hole. The rocks are also very hard, and you can't even poke them with a knife. That kind of, if you want to leave here, this gap is really important.

I have already thought a lot about the method of getting out by water. As long as the spiritual power is confirmed to be usable, it may not be a problem to take everyone out, but the method of Qilin City must be used. If necessary, in order to save people, I will not talk about it. It's normal, but this is probably going to be a big project, and it's inevitable that the butt will bloom, and it makes my butt hurt just thinking about it.

The little brother seemed to know what I was thinking. He reached out and touched my face, gently pinched and held up my little face so that I could look at him, and said in a very small voice in my ear: "Don't mess around. "

I looked at him and blinked at him, meaning "but...", but he said "no" and closed his eyes to me, and then continued to look at me seriously, so I had to gently nodded.
