Chapter 50

Spnstyle new notice, today and tomorrow due to accidents, I have no time to surf the Internet for a whole day, and it will be completely fixed the day after tomorrow. I will restore the update first, and move the server to ensure that the data on both sides is synchronized. 2013930

The loud bang of the spn kept echoing in the ears, and the two huge doors on the rock wall connecting the "ancient overpass" had already opened.The turbulent water rushes out of the gate, pours down the canal-shaped wide road to the bottom of the valley, submerges the wide "Yellowstone Avenue", and turns the huge valley into a vast ocean.The fan-shaped platform suspended in the air on the opposite side is slowly rotating at this moment, and the doorway we walked through when we entered the valley has turned to one side, and it is about to sink into the dark mountain wall.

I stood up in a daze, walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.The lower half of the pyramid body was submerged under the water at this time, and the tumbling water surface was just like countless soft monsters, climbing up the khaki-colored stone surface of the tower body, straight to Swallow us who are on the platform into our stomachs, and sink to the bottom of the water forever. "Click it!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the opposite side.The fan-shaped platform stopped rotating, and all the door openings leading out of the valley turned into the rock wall, and a curved stone wall was integrated with the surrounding rock walls, sealing off the entire valley and cutting off our only escape route!

Immediately afterwards, the two giant doors on the mountain wall opened one after the other with deafening muffled noises, and two surging streams of water rushed out of the doors, rushing down the overhead curved bend.The stagnant water in the valley immediately surged, and the rising speed of the water surface accelerated instantly!

I stupidly looked at the water gate on the rock wall that had changed from two to four, my chest was clogged with a sense of desperation that was constantly accumulating, and I felt extremely difficult to breathe.Before this experience, although I have seen the rough sea, I also vaguely know that once the seemingly weak water waves get angry, it must be a disaster that human beings cannot resist.However, there is a huge gap between "what you think in your heart" and "what you see with your own eyes".The dike bursting violently before my eyes at this moment really carried a horror that I had never imagined.Those towering ruins of buildings have all sunk underwater at this time, even if there are still some broken stones remaining on the surface of the water, they will be washed away by the fierce current in an instant, and then swallowed! [

What's even more frightening is that the water flowing down the arc-shaped channel seems to be amplified by that weird design.The force poured down is so great that even hard rocks can't resist it!Those huge boulders the size of a car once shocked me, but these stones are not much stronger than tofu in front of the water.I once saw with my own eyes that a huge boulder was slammed on the rock wall by the current, and when it was broken into several pieces, it was swallowed by the following violent current and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Even if the stone is like this, if it is a human being, the result can be imagined.Seeing this situation really made my bones stand on end, and a common saying kept echoing in my heart...

"Flood beast!" Ruan Yu seemed to have a heart-to-heart with me, and said what I was thinking in a trembling voice, "It turns out that the roar that has been ringing just now is what happened! Although the pool that suddenly appeared in the hall is strange, But I always feel that it is called a 'lake', which is a bit of a stretch. Here...is the 'holy lake' that lunatic said! Ah Sheng, we are afraid this time..."

Looking at the valley with no exit and the crazily rising water beneath her feet, Ruan Yu stopped talking dejectedly.She hugged my arm vigorously with both hands, leaned her drooping head on my shoulder, and remained silent.As soon as my back warmed up, there was a slight trembling immediately, Xiaoqian, who couldn't stop crying, pressed her pretty face tightly against my back, hot tears soon soaked through my wet skin , Burning my heart bursts of stinging pain.

"Bang!"

The loud noise that suddenly appeared behind me froze my arms that were thrown back.I turned around in a daze, and saw that the bronze tripod shaped like a cauldron hit the platform under the impact of the water flow, stopped for a while and then slid down, floating and shaking in the water.Presumably, it was pulled out of the pile of stones by the rising hexagonal platform in the hall, and then the rope broke, and it was washed out by the rising current, so it drifted here... Wait!floating on the water? ! !

I hurriedly broke free from the arms of the second daughter and ran backwards, and within a few steps I ran to the stone steps behind the platform.The copper tripod, which was floating on the water and kept swinging, was poured into the water, and it had already started to tilt at this moment, and it was about to sink.Seeing this, I hurriedly took a few steps, grabbed the chain on the stone steps and dragged back desperately.Yan Daojie, who was stunned to the side, also reacted at this time, and quickly ran to my side to help me pull the copper tripod onto the platform.

"Old Qi, do you want to use this as a boat?" Yan Daojie glanced at the huge copper tripod and said, "It's big enough to hold the few of us, but this thing is like a big pot, can it be stable?" ?”

Xiaoqian patted the copper tripod and interjected: "The bottom of the boat is usually curved or semi-conical, so it should be fine!"

I waved them away, then lifted the bronze cauldron violently and poured out the water inside, saying, "The water here fluctuates a lot, so I'm not sure if it will work. Let's try! Hope is better than nothing!"

After I finished speaking, I didn't say any more, pulled the chain and put the copper tripod back into the water.Yan Daojie greeted me, turned over and jumped into the tripod, clasping the copper ring of the tripod's mouth with both hands, waiting for the result of the experiment.The bronze tripod was dangling in the water, hitting the walls and stone steps on both sides from time to time. Even though I was dragging the chain, this kind of non-stop swinging made the tripod filled with water quickly, slowly sink down.Yan Daojie, who was submerged in the water up to his waist, turned out in a hurry, helped me drag the tripod back to the platform, and said in frustration: "It's over! It seems that we are definitely going to fall here today. Grandma's! I'm not dead!" It’s nothing fucking wrong, but who cares about my grandma! Damn it! I should have gotten a few votes if I knew it back then! At least I can leave some money for the old lady..."

"Third brother, don't be discouraged, let me think about it again!" I squeezed his shoulders hard, desperately suppressing the increasingly turbulent sense of despair, and tried my best to think of a way.

The arc at the bottom of the copper tripod is too large, and the overall shape is like a cauldron, so it is naturally unstable on the turbulent water.If you can add weight, you can probably float.I'm afraid it's not enough for all of us to go up, what else can we use to make it worse?

I turned my eyes and searched for items that could be added, from the vast ocean to the bare top platform, and then the central stone platform piled with weird corpses... That's right!Backpack!The backpack brought by the pile of mummies!

"Third brother! Cut the rope on the copper tripod, and tie one to each copper ring. I'll get the backpack and tie it on. We'll put stones in it for weight!"

I yelled and rushed to the stone platform in the center, then picked up a few backpacks and ran back.Ruan Yu and Xiao Qian also ran over to help, and within a few strokes transported all the backpacks to the side of the copper tripod.Yan Daojie picked up the saber and cut the rope, while I ran back to the stone platform and kicked hard, and then returned the large piece of gravel to Xiaoqian and the others to pack into the bag.

The current was still raging, and in the short time we were looking for a way to escape, the soaring water had already reached the edge of the platform on the top of the tower.Except for the place under our feet and the giant tree behind, the entire valley has been covered by water, and a large lake is rapidly forming!

House seemingly endless rain!When we were busy preparing the weights, two piercing "click" sounds suddenly sounded in our ears like a death knell.The giant gate on the mountain wall was opened twice again, and two giant snake-like streams of water roared out of the gate, swooping down toward the water!

"Damn it! These giant gates are opened in order! There is no time! Hurry up and get into the water!" I glanced at the dozen or so giant gates on the mountainside, feeling terrified in my heart.Hurriedly throwing down the plan to get another rock, he roared and rushed towards Yan Daojie and the others.

When everyone heard my shout, they didn't bother to empty their knapsacks and put stones in them. They hurriedly tied the remaining knapsacks to the copper rings, picked up V Liu who was almost submerged in water, and jumped into the copper tripod.At this moment, the water surface fluctuated more violently. Although the copper tripod had gained a lot of weight, it still couldn't resist the bumps, and a lot of water was poured in after a while. [

Seeing that the tripod was about to sink, I quickly pulled the chain and ran up to the stone platform in the middle, and pulled the tripod up with all my strength.The drenched crowd climbed out of the cauldron and gathered together silently.

The tumbling surface of the water reached halfway up the stone platform in an instant.The footsteps of the god of death have already stepped on our chests. The weight that can crush life has blocked all the words in our throats, and we can only wait silently for the arrival of the last moment.

"Big wood!" Xiaoqian threw herself into my arms, and said with tears, "It is said that those who drown in water will eventually be swollen. When you reach the underworld, you can't think I'm ugly! Woooooo... "

"Don't worry, if he thinks you're ugly, we'll beat him together!" Ruan Yuqiang smiled and put his arms around my arms tightly.

"I don't care if you love each other. But even if we drown, we can't separate!" Yan Daojie picked up V Liu on his back, tied him with the remaining rope, and passed the end of the rope and said : "Let's tie them all together, and we can be a companion on the road to Huangquan! In case of being eaten by fish, our big string can also support Ya Ting to death, so that she can't even float!"

"Third brother! What did you say?!" A flash of lightning flashed across my mind in an instant.

"Ah? I said companionship on Huangquan Road..."

"No! Not this one!"

"Huh? That is to strangle the fish to death so that it cannot float..."

The fish... floated up... that's right!

I glanced at the copper tripod, and after confirming that the idea was feasible, I hurriedly shouted: "Maw! Maw! Third Brother! Quickly untie v, I want to use a rope! Maybe we still have a way out!"

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

"Quickly untie the rope!" I rushed to the edge of the copper tripod and poured out the water, then took the rope and passed it through several copper rings at the mouth of the tripod, and tied a few horizontal ropes like fences, "Third brother, put v Just tie it to the horizontal rope in the middle, just tie it around his waist!"

"Big log! What swim bladder? Let us escape?"

"I don't know, but you can try it! Come with me!" I pulled the copper tripod tied with V to the side of the stone steps, turned it upside down with all my strength, and said, "I don't have time to explain, just listen to me." Say! After a while, I will go down the stone steps to level the copper tripod. Xiaoqian and Xiaoyu get under the tripod, hold the horizontal cable and stand on both sides respectively. Third brother, you are at the end, watching the water cover half of the tripod Get in again, stand on the side of the platform and cooperate with me to lift the tripod. Do you understand? Take action!"

Everyone was confused by me, and their faces were full of bewilderment.But before the oppression of the fatal crisis, they still "habitually" moved according to my request, without asking any questions.

The water surface was still rising crazily, so I took a deep breath and dived into the water, holding the tripod's mouth on my shoulders and supporting it.Ruan Yu and Xiao Qian came after me, tightened the horizontal cable according to my instructions, and stood on both sides of the tripod wall.Just at this time, I heard two more bangs in my ears, presumably the giant gate on the mountain wall opened two more.

Sure enough, just as this thought popped into my head, the water level, which was originally waist-high, rose to my neck in an instant, almost submerging my mouth and nose.Yan Daojie also got in at this time, and shouted in surprise: "Fuck! The water outside is almost submerging the whole tripod, why is the water here so high?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Let's support the tripod together! Remember! Hold on to the rope to stand firm, don't fall down, just hold on for a while! Life and death are at stake!"

The people didn't say any more, and each set up the bronze tripod with all their strength.Violent fluctuations could not stop coming from the water around him, shaking everyone trembling.Fortunately, everyone kept my words in mind, gritted their teeth and resisted desperately, and no one fell down.After a while, the fluctuations in the water were much smaller, and everyone was no longer struggling to stand, and the weight of the heavy copper tripod was also reduced due to the buoyancy of the lifting, which finally relieved Yan Daojie, who was already flushed.

"Everyone try our best to hold on to the horizontal cable, and don't let the copper tripod float up. Third brother, you pull it down a little harder, and I'll let go and go out to have a look." After saying that, I let go and stopped for a while, After seeing that the copper tripod was stable, I got out without saying a word.

After a while, after seeing the situation, I got back under the tripod, lifted the mouth of the tripod and said: "The stone gate has been opened to ten seats, and the buoyancy will become stronger in a while, and we will be pushed up at that time. While we are now Still holding on, I hurriedly carried the copper tripod to the giant tree. The petrified wood walls on the side were very wide, so we had no problem walking down. Everyone held their breath and looked at the road, and stopped every ten steps and went back to the tripod to take a breath. When we reached the giant tree I will try my best to stabilize the tripod. There are still eight doors that are not open. If they are fully opened, the lake should be filled to the top of the mountain. Even if it is not there, the buoyancy can bring the tripod to the surface of the water. When we arrive It’s time to think of a way! There’s not much oxygen, don’t talk from now on, and let everything be fate!” [

Everyone nodded silently, and then started to walk underwater according to my command.Although the lake water is icy cold, it is extremely clear and the visibility is extremely high.This situation is naturally very beneficial to my plan. Everyone also discussed a few words when they stopped to take a breath, and changed the number of steps between breaths from ten to fifteen, which further increased our speed of approaching the giant tree.

It didn't take long for us to lean against the edge of the giant tree.I drew out a short knife and stabbed it into the gap between the petrified wood to stabilize the tripod. I looked up at the water above me with the red light of the setting sun.Suddenly, a very strange feeling suddenly appeared in my heart, I only felt that the group of us carrying the copper tripod underwater was very much like a beetle crawling in the "liquid" amber.I don’t know if our final ending will be able to escape the imprisonment, or we will be locked here forever, becoming the decorations of the earth like worms in amber...
