Chapter 75
075 Chapter 75 Falling into the water

The situation outside is complicated now, and the little brother is also a little worried, with a serious expression and sighing. I pulled the little brother and said to him: "Brother, can you let me take a look?"

The little brother looked at me, holding on to the rock beside the cave with one hand, and holding my arm tightly with the other, asking me to stand beside him.

I braved myself and tried to look outside. As soon as I stepped forward, I felt dizzy. It was so deep that I couldn't see the bottom. It was so high that my legs became weak and trembling. I immediately stepped back. The little brother said softly: " Don’t be afraid, take your time.”

Seeing that I was scared, the fat man stretched out his hand and took my other arm and said to me: "Come on, fat brother, I will support you too. Don't be afraid. Just watch your feet."

I trembled and tried to look outside again. I closed my eyes first and sensed the surrounding situation. Then I opened my eyes and looked at the dark abyss below with my golden eyes. I listened carefully again. It seemed like...

Suddenly, there was a continuous violent vibration, which caused rocks to fly everywhere. The little brother and the fat man hurriedly pulled me back. I was so scared that I froze and breathed rapidly.

The fat man asked me: "What's wrong, girl, what did you see?"

I said slowly: "There is water, there is a lot of water rising up below."

The fat man didn't believe it: "Where did the water come from? There's not even a sound of water."

I said: "That's because the water is still a certain distance away from us. You will know what I said is right after a while." I turned around and looked at my brother and said to him: "However, if the water surges up, then Those Chi Gu will also be washed into the water, right? Are those things afraid of water?" The little brother seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent.

The giant python found the hole behind the stone and wanted to get through it. Unexpectedly, the hole was small and the head was big, so it couldn't get out. Its entangled body kept arching. Wu Xie dodged left and right, fearing that he would be caught by it. I was involved in it, and I thought to myself, if it got caught by it, it would be broken at least, or...if it was not saved, I would die.

The giant python tried several times but failed. It had no patience anymore and became extremely irritable. It shook its head like crazy and hit the stone wall beside the cave entrance.The huge body of the python started to dance in the small cave. In a few moments, it cracked a hole in the cave entrance. The giant python turned hard and its head came out. Its scales rubbed against the stone wall and squeezed the entire stone. It emerged from the crack and rushed outwards. Wherever it passed, any rocks blocking the road were swept away by its huge body.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xie hurriedly followed the python out. Not far away, he saw Lao Chi lying in the pile of rubble, dying, with almost his whole body pressed behind the stone. When he saw Wu Xie It seemed that he wanted to say something to him, but his mouth was full of blood and he coughed several times in pain.

Wu Xie tried to help him move the stone and check the injury, but he was seriously injured. His lower body was completely crushed and he was about to die. Wu Xie sighed and asked him: "You...what else do you have to say?"

Nao Itch glanced at Wu Xie, gritted his teeth, pulled out the backpack he got from Boss Wang from the crack in the rock, and threw it to him.

Wu Xie took the bag and felt very complicated. He coughed a few more mouthfuls of blood, then stopped talking and closed his eyes.

Wu Xie was stunned. Suddenly there was a loud "boom" and the whole cave was shaking wildly. He could hardly even sit still. He hit the rock wall and heard a long series of cracking sounds from the top of the rock.I thought to myself, maybe the giant-eyed snake outside started to hit me again, so I hurriedly crawled out of the cave on my waist.The old itch suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Old Wu!"

Wu Xie looked back and saw that he opened his mouth to himself, as if he was about to say something. Suddenly, the place where he was was collapsed, and the rocks above fell down like a waterfall. In an instant, he was submerged in the water. In that pile of rubble.

At this time, although the old itch in front of him was materialized, Wu Xie still felt a heartbreaking feeling in his heart.

But time was running out and he had to escape quickly. He immediately adjusted his emotions and rolled a few times to avoid the falling rocks and rushed out of the cave. Just when a black shadow hit him again, Wu Xie quickly rolled to the side and the giant python hit him. When he reached the mountain, the entire mountain wall was shaken by the impact, rocks flew, and a crack opened in the mountain, extending from where he stood.

At this time, the candle dragon crawling out of the bronze tree and the black giant python were fighting together. The fight was quite fierce and inextricable.

The fat man peeked outside slightly and said, "Oh, those two snakes are fighting. If they continue to collide like this, they will really fall apart."

The little brother's expression became more and more serious, and he held my hand tighter and tighter, keeping his eyes looking at the situation outside.Suddenly he said: "Wait a moment."

Although Zhulong was much larger than the giant python, in the fight, Zhulong had no advantage and was at a disadvantage. Two big black balls were seen entwining around the bronze tree, and its long tail swept everywhere. , the surrounding stalagmites were shot by them, flying around like cannonballs.

Wu Xie was stunned when he saw this thrilling scene. Suddenly, the tail of an unknown snake swept directly at his feet. The whole stone under his feet was immediately broken into stone powder. In a hurry, He originally wanted to grab the stones on the side, but unexpectedly the stones had already been knocked loose. With a sound of "ah", he and the stone fell into the abyss below.

At this time, we all saw a little man shouting "swish" and then fell down.

"Is that Wu Xie..." Suddenly there was the sound of rumbling water in the distance, and I quickly said, "The water is coming up."

The two of them quickly looked down, and they could vaguely see the water pouring upwards.The little brother suddenly said: "Be careful when you go into the water, they are not afraid of water." Then he looked at me and said: "Girl, when the water comes up more, go down." I nodded, followed him, and he held me tight and did it. Preparation for launching into the water.The fat man also looked down and said to me: "Girl, you must be clairvoyant. I can only vaguely see the water now. Did you see it just now? Your eyesight is better than the fat man's, awesome." ah."

Wu Xie fell all the way down, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. His ears rang silent, and he fell into the water. He plunged six or seven meters into the water before he stopped. He thought to himself, where did the water come from?

Suddenly entering the water, I couldn't adjust my posture at all. I only heard a click in my neck, and I didn't know if it was broken.There was no need for any strength in the whole body, and the person just followed and sank into the water.

Just when he thought he was about to see the King of Hell, suddenly, a figure swam over from behind and held him up.

Wu Xie looked back and saw that it was Master Liang who had been hiding in the cave below. It seemed that he had been forced out by the rising water supply. When he saw someone falling, he came over to pull him up.

After rushing out of the water, Wu Xie took a look and saw that the abyss he had climbed out of had now turned into a pool. There was water flowing in from unknown directions, and the water level was still rising rapidly.

Master Liang gasped and said to him: "It must have rained outside. This should be a flash flood. There are often flash floods here in this season. The flood poured into the underground river when we came here. That river must be close to the wall here. Several caves on the mountain are connected, and when floods from high altitudes wash down, the water level rises and the water pours in. Once the flash flood passes, the water level will immediately drop."

Wu Xie thought to himself, isn't this the same situation as what was written in Lao Itch's diary three years ago? How to get out...

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that after Master Liang pulled him up, he lost all strength and sank straight down. Wu Xie quickly pulled him to the edge of the bronze tree. He had just saved his life and didn't want to be with him anymore. Forget about what happened before.

When I looked up, I saw that the two big snakes were still fighting. If they fell down after a while, it would really be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.Before he could finish his thoughts, there was a roar in his ears, and the giant black python fell down and fell straight into the water. Instantly, water splashed everywhere, and the small pool began to boil like boiling water.

The fat man's eyes widened and he said "Ouch", and then the candle dragon climbed down the bronze tree.

I raised my head and looked at my brother: "What should I do? They have all gone down. Isn't the situation not good?" I saw him looking down with a frown.

When Master Liang saw the snake's huge purple eyes, he was so frightened that he sank into the water. Wu Xie pulled him up, and he trembled and said, "Oh my god! Where did this thing come from? This... this thing is Zhu Jiuyin!"

When Wu Xie heard it, he wondered why this name was so familiar. He pulled Master Liang and hid behind the bronze tree, asking him what was going on.

Master Liang bit his tongue and softly introduced Zhu Jiuyin to him.

Wu Xie heard this for the first time, so he immediately felt strange. He didn't know about this thing, and those things must not have been materialized by him. It seemed that there really was a huge poisonous snake from ancient times in this ancient bronze tree. .

Master Liang told him not to look at the dark eye on it. Wu Xie turned around and took a sneak peek. Fortunately, Zhu Jiuyin was staring intently into the water at this time, probably because he was afraid that the giant python would suddenly attack him.

However, the water level kept rising, and they were getting closer and closer to Zhu Jiuyin's body. Master Liang was extremely nervous. Wu Xie whispered to Master Liang: "There should be an exit on the top of the cave. As long as the water level rises high enough, , maybe we can climb up there and get out from there. However, when we passed the Thousand Coffins Array before, there were no signs that the coffins had been soaked in water. It is estimated that the water level cannot be higher than that side. No one knows exactly where we can go, so we have to It's better to be more upbeat." Suddenly, he found that Master Liang couldn't listen at all.

I saw a few white masks floating up from the water, which were the shells of Chi Gu.Wu Xie suddenly felt something bad in his heart. He picked one up and took a look. The cavity in the mouth was empty and the Gu worm inside was gone.

Wu Xie suddenly understood that the reason why the giant python did not come up after diving in the water for so long was...

He quickly picked up the flashlight and dived into the water to take a photo. He saw countless crab-leg-like insects, some with masks, and some with only their bodies left, clinging to the black python like leeches, all white and colorful. In a large area, the giant black python has its belly turned to the sky and is still rolling. It is obvious that it cannot get rid of these bugs, and its body keeps hitting the rocks. The mask of the Gu bug is rubbed off in this way, but the insect body is still tight. Suck firmly on the snake's body.

Seeing such a big prey, those locusts all headed towards it. There were some locusts that couldn't get a position and wandered around the snake's body, moving very quickly.

However, when Wu Xie's flashlight hit them, all the Gu insects suddenly paused, and then quickly bounced away from the python. Before Wu Xie could react, his eyes blurred, and all the insects were like giant fish schools in the sea. Come straight to him.

These things swam very fast. In desperation, they bit the palm of his hand hard. He didn't understand why he bit so hard. Blood suddenly poured out. Wu Xie waved his hand in the water to spread the blood evenly.

Fortunately, these stingrays were jealous of their own blood, so they no longer dared to come close and swam far away.These stingrays formed a wall of insects in front of him. He vaguely felt that the ups and downs of the arrangement of these insects were a bit like human faces, which made Wu Xie feel chilly. This scene was so weird.

Master Liang was so frightened that he climbed up the bronze tree without saying a word. Wu Xie also knew that staying in the water was not an option, so he put his head out of the water and looked back. At this time, Zhu Jiuyin had already discovered them. The huge The snake's head was facing their direction, and the purple eye had been closed, replaced by a blood-red eye, staring at them viciously.

This was the terrifying dark eye. The red eye was covered with beating bloodshot eyes. It was weird and abnormal. As soon as Wu Xie looked at it, he suddenly felt like his soul was being pulled away. He only felt strong nausea and dizziness. He hurriedly put it away. His face turned away.

But Master Liang didn't have time, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, he stared straight at the bloody eye without moving. Wu Xie called him twice, but there was no response.

Master Liang said that "Zhu Jiuyin's" vaginal eyes lead to hell. Wu Xie knew something was wrong and hurriedly poured water on him. As a result, Zhu Jiuyin suddenly reached forward and poured the water directly on Zhu Jiuyin. on the head.

At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin was startled by the splash of water on Wu Xie. He closed his eyes and the snake's head shrank back. Wu Xie knew something was wrong. The snake must have thought he was provoking and wanted to attack.He had no choice but to quickly get behind the copper tree. The snake's head hit the bronze tree at once, bending all the branches it hit.

He quickly took out the bag that Lao Itch had thrown to him and looked at what other equipment he could use inside. He only remembered that there should be a few detonators that were originally intended to be used to blow up the tomb walls. He thought that if he couldn't kill it, he would scare it away. That’s okay.

Wu Xie moved to prevent it from seeing him, while he climbed up the bronze tree. He grabbed his backpack and dug inside. He fumbled inside for a long time, and all the useless things were poured into the water.I took out a bundle of things that I thought were detonators, but when I took them out, they turned out to be black candles. I really wanted to beat myself up.

At this time, the snake's head had already reached over, and when he saw him, he suddenly folded the snake's neck and made an attack posture.

Thinking that it wouldn't be the end like this, I picked up my backpack and jumped into the water, but I still didn't escape. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed.The snake's head flew up and bit him, and then the snake's body rolled up, trying to wrap him into its body.

Wu Xie's hand was rummaging around in the bag, and he suddenly touched the kind of flare gun they used. Without thinking, he pulled the trigger. As a result, a big hole was blown out of the backpack. In the confusion, he didn't know if the flare was in the snake. There was an explosion in the mouth, and I felt a heat in the tiger's mouth, and then the world started spinning, and it fell into the water again with a "pop" sound.

We kept looking below for Wu Xie's figure, but the water level hadn't reached that high yet, so we kept staring below. We seemed to see a big snake holding a person in its mouth. Then, a huge light group lit up at the snake's head. The light was too dazzling, so the little brother quickly covered my eyes with one hand, hugged me and turned half a circle into the hole to block me from the strong and dazzling light.The fat man closed his eyes and hid behind the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.

Wu Xie emerged from the water and looked back. The flare in Zhu Jiuyin's mouth was emitting a hot white light. The air was filled with the smell of wax, and for some reason, green smoke began to appear all over its body. .

Thinking again about what Master Liang said, the oil in the snake's body is very easy to burn. Otherwise, the ancients would not have hunted it to make candles. But I didn't expect it to be able to burn like this. What exactly is flowing in its body? ?
Zhu Jiuyin was in extreme pain and kept twisting his body. His huge tail slapped the rock. A huge crack had already appeared on that side. As it continued to slap, several small cracks spread out from one crack. The mountain surface was cracking continuously, and it seemed that the entire cave might collapse.

The little brother said: "Go to the water quickly." Then he took me and jumped in, and we fell into the water at once.

Wu Xie didn't know if Zhu Jiuyin would die so easily, but there was indeed nothing in his bag, so he threw the backpack into the water.

At this time, suddenly the water suddenly overflowed, and the water rushed towards the crack created by Zhu Jiuyin.

Wu Xie took one last look at the ancient bronze tree and looked around for Master Liang, but he had disappeared. Seeing that the rocks above began to collapse in large chunks due to the gushing water, Zhu Jiuyin became even more frantic. Dancing around in the same way, he leaned back and was sucked into the gap along with the current.

The little brother took me, and the fat man followed. We swam in the direction of Wu Xie, and like him, followed the water and entered the gap.
