I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 168 Underground Waterway

The special sponge quickly absorbed the moisture from several people's bodies.

Lao Xu sighed to Li Luo: "Today's technology is so advanced. We used to have to bake our clothes with fire when they got wet, and they would stink after being baked. If this thing had been available at that time, I wouldn't have shriveled up on the third floor of the abyss. .”

"Have you ever been to the third level of the abyss?" Li Xiangyi asked in disbelief.

"of course."

Lao Xu reached into his cloak and took out a nameplate. The wonderful words engraved on it were extremely conspicuous:

"Level 5 hunter Xu Jianguo, who lost his mind."

"Level 5 hunter?" Li Xiangyi was shocked.

"Well, I have gone down as far as the fifth level of the abyss." Old Xu Yun said calmly: "No one dared to form a team with me at that time. I went down by myself, but the title gradually became like this. It doesn’t sound good.”

He put his nameplate back, as if it wasn't something important to him.

"It's not interesting to go all the way down. As long as you keep going to the less dangerous place, you can easily reach the next floor..."

As soon as these words came out, Li and Luo were speechless.

Lao Xu looked at both sides of the waterway and said to Li Xiangyi: "How long can your light belt last?"

"It can be maintained forever." Li Xiangyi replied.

"Then you follow me. I know the way and I will be able to get out soon. There are some exits in the underground waterway that lead directly to the ground." Lao Xu said confidently.

"Isn't there a map? How do you know the route?" Li Xiangyi was a little confused.

Lao Xu smiled lightly, pointed to one end of the underground waterway and said, "The danger level here is 460."

Then, he pointed to the other side: "This is 170, go this way."

After finishing speaking, Lao Xu walked confidently along the shore.

It turns out that as long as you keep walking to a relatively safe place, you will definitely be able to get out. Even if you can't get out, you can still get to a safer place.

Mo Ling finally understood how Lao Xu got down to the fifth level of the abyss.

As long as you are lucky enough and avoid all dangers, there will be no danger in the abyss.

Mo Ling had a new understanding of Lao Xu's wonderful relic ability.

As he walked, Mo Ling's vision also immersed in Lao Xu's body, looking at the heart.

There really is a hole here.

But the blood inside was not affected at all. They floated in the center of the cavity, flowing according to the heart's original blood transport route, and were pumped out with the non-existent beating.

The tissue around the heart showed no abnormalities due to the missing heart, as if the heart had become transparent.

"Is it not that the heart is missing, but that the heart has become transparent and cannot be seen?" Mo Ling suddenly had such a suspicion.

But Lao Xu himself couldn't feel the beating of his heart, and the nameplate also clearly said "Heartless", which conflicted with the conjecture of "transparent heart".

Mo Ling stared for a long time, but couldn't see any results, so he had to focus on the road ahead.

Along the way, Lao Xu continued to show his magical abilities.

Before a fork in the road, he stopped and asked the two of them to wait.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Li Xiangyi asked doubtfully: "Which side is less dangerous?"

But Lao Xu waved his hand: "They are all very tall, wait a minute."

Sure enough, after a while, the road ahead started to vibrate. The entire waterway actually twisted under the influence of the vibration, and even the flow direction changed.

After the earthquake stopped, the original fork in the road had turned into a waterfall. The surging underground water hit the bottom, and a huge depression space appeared in front of it.

"Go this way." Lao Xu led the two of them to jump between the narrow rocks at the edge of the waterfall. There was actually a hidden rock crevice here.

After making a large circle from the rock crevice, several people had descended to the depression. The water here spread out and flowed everywhere from different tributaries.

Because the water flow suddenly dispersed and the water storage was insufficient, many rocks in this depression were exposed, and it was completely possible to walk on it. Lao Xu led a few people onto the depression. Although he seemed very confident along the way, he was not careless when moving forward, but was very cautious.

When he reached a dark pool, he suddenly stopped and looked around.

"There is something wrong with this waterhole. The danger level is constantly rising, but it is still the safest road around here."

Lao Xu picked up a small stone and threw it over.

At this moment, a brown creature like a toad jumped out of the pool and instantly ate the rocks in the air.

This toad's body was covered with small swelling bubbles, with small black dots in the center of the swelling bubbles.

Those little dots were constantly rolling up and down, like human eyes, staring at the surroundings.

There is also a long tail on the back of the toad, which seems to have not yet fully developed from the tadpole stage.

Old Xu warned the two people behind him in a low voice not to move, and glanced at the cave to the side.

Although they didn't know why Lao Xu arranged it like this, Li and Luo still followed the instructions obediently.

The toad seemed to be stuck on the stone, and kept making strange sounds with its mouth open. Every time it made a sound, its whole body would tremble, and the swollen blisters on its body would also tremble, with small dots surging in them.

"gross."

The toad twisted its body and actually crawled towards Lao Xu, but Lao Xu remained motionless and watched the toad come to him.

There was no trace of panic on his face, as if everything was as expected.

The mucus from the toad dripped on Lao Xu's hand, but he ignored it.

Seeing that the toad was about to press on Lao Xu, Mo Ling had already aimed at the toad and was about to launch the teleportation.

At this moment, a giant hand suddenly stretched out from the cave that Old Xu was staring at!

The hand looked like a human arm, but it was covered with black bristles, and the pores were clearly visible.

Sharp nails, thick knuckles, and grooves like human palm prints.

As soon as it reached out of the cave, this terrifying giant hand quickly grabbed the toad.

Before it could react, the toad was tightly held by the giant hand. It kept secreting mucus and tried to escape from the giant hand's grasp, but those black bristles caught it tightly like a barb.

Not only that, the black bristles also twisted and penetrated deeply into the toad's skin like earthworms, fixing the toad in the palm of the hand.

The toad could only keep screaming, its tail kept swaying, and it struggled to escape, but it didn't move at all.

Holding the toad tightly, the giant hand quickly retracted and retracted into the narrow cave.

Immediately afterwards, the screams of toads and the gnawing sounds of "crunching" were heard in the cave. After a while, only the sound of broken bones was left.

"Let's go, it's safe." Lao Xu ignored the mucus on his hands and asked the two of them to follow him quickly.

When he came to the entrance of a tributary at the edge of the depression, he relaxed a little.

"What was that just now?" Li Xiangyi asked fearfully.

"That hand? That's called a burrowing limb. It's a hermit crab-like creature that lives in caves and specializes in hunting prey that passes through the cave. That arm is their complete form. Isn't it disgusting?"

Li Xiangyi nodded quickly.

But at this time, Lao Xu did an even more disgusting behavior.

He took out a small bottle from his cloak and carefully collected the mucus that the toad had just dropped on his hand, as if it was something extremely precious.

After collecting it, he licked the mouth of the bottle with a look of enjoyment.

"tasty!"
