Chapter 399 Underground Lake

In fact, Einstein didn't really like Xiaoxin, but he just wanted to use it to divert his attention. Seeing that Xiaoxin was not allowed to touch him, he had to give up.

The two walked slowly along the passage, one in front of the other. The faint light formed a circle of light around the two of them, and it was pitch black outside.

The darkness here made Zhang Sen feel a little wrong, but he didn't find any danger now, so he didn't say it for the time being, but was more cautious and careful, paying attention to everything under his feet and around him.

"Mr. Hemerway, are we going down?" Einstein was also very careful, and he noticed the problem as he walked.

However, he found that the angle of the problem was different from that of Zhang Sen. Although the mountain was huge, if it was walking in a straight line, it shouldn't take too long to walk from one side to the other. to any turn, so they had been going too long, which aroused his suspicions.

Zhang Sen nodded and said: "It is indeed going down, but now we have no other choice, we can only hope that there is a way down."

"It's a pity that I lost my luggage." Einstein said helplessly after hearing this.

Because the bag absorbs water, he had to give up the bag when swimming, but he didn't throw away all of it. He put a few Shadow Rats in his pocket, so he didn't lose them.

The luggage of the two people is different. He mainly carries food and tools, while Zhang Sen carries water and ammunition. So although the two of them are not short of water now, if they continue to delay, they will definitely lack food, and there are many tools. All of them can be used here, but unfortunately they are all lost.

There was no words all the way, and the two had already walked for an hour in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Sen stopped suddenly, and Einstein also stopped quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is the sound of water!" Zhang Sen replied.

Einstein listened intently, and sure enough, there was the sound of gurgling water coming from the front, and he frowned suddenly, the sound of water was not a good sign.

"Let's go, we have no turning back!" Zhang Sen finally said helplessly.

He walked forward, walked for about 15 minutes, and had to stop again because there was no road ahead.

In front of it is an underground lake with a very large area. The dark lake water gives people a very bad feeling, as if there are some monsters lurking that will rush out and devour everything at any time.

The sound of water they heard before was actually the sound of water flowing through some gaps not far away, and the water finally fell into the underground lake.

"Mr. Hemerway, this..."

Looking at the dark lake, Einstein was a little terrified, not knowing what to do.

In fact, after the big snake that Zhang Sen just mentioned, now he looks at any water and thinks there is a big snake hidden in it, not to mention that the underground lake looks scary, and it is not surprising that there is nothing hidden in it.

Zhang Sen pointed to the opposite side and said, "Look over there, is there another passage, I guess that passage leads to the exit."

"But how do we get there?" Einstein asked with a bitter face.

Zhang Sen also felt that this underground lake must be very dangerous. After all, there are too many strange things in this world, and all kinds of strange creatures make people hard to guard against. One bad one may be buried in the belly of the beast.

He observed the surrounding situation, the walls of this place were very smooth, with traces of man-made excavation, basically there were no protrusions that could be used to pull a rope, and the only way to get there was probably by swimming.

"I'm afraid we can only swim over." He pursed his lips, and finally said helplessly.

Einstein quit immediately, and said, "No, no, Mr. Hemerway, this is absolutely impossible, I can't do it, it's too dangerous."

"Of course I know the danger, but we can see if the underground lake is dangerous before deciding whether to do this." Zhang Sen immediately retorted.

He picked up a stone and threw it directly towards the center of the lake. After a slight noise, the lake became quiet again in a blink of an eye.

Both of them looked at the lake quietly, but they didn't find any danger.

"try again!"

Zhang Sen took out a Shadow Rat this time and said.

Although Einstein thought it was a waste for Zhang Sen to do this, he still didn't speak in the end. After all, he did it for safety.

Shadow Rattle was thrown into the lake, and then sank underwater, still quietly without any noteworthy happening.

Zhang Sen looked at Einstein, and Einstein frowned and said, "Is there no living thing in this lake?"

But in the next second, the slapstick came.

A tentacle with spikes came out of the water almost instantly. The fast Zhang Sen and Einstein couldn't react at all. Zhang Sen's ankle was instantly entangled by the tentacle, and then his whole body was thrown into the air by the tentacle.

"not good!"

Zhang Sen's face tightened, and the next moment he directly used the Honda family's sword to cut off the tentacles on his feet, and the skin pierced by the spikes was bleeding.

The problem is that even if he cuts off the tentacles, he has already reached the sky above the lake, and the ending of falling into the water is unavoidable. He fell into the water like a cannonball while holding the Western sword. Before entering the water, he could still hear Einstein's anxious cry. roar.

He swam quickly, jumped out of the water, and took a big breath of fresh air.

Suddenly, a tentacle wrapped around his waist, and he immediately cut it out with a sword. Unfortunately, the sword encountered water, and the resistance was a bit strong, so that the sword did not cut off the tentacle, but only cut halfway.

The tentacles suffered pain, and immediately retracted the tentacles underwater. Zhang Sen was inevitably pulled into the water, sinking rapidly toward the depths, and blood continued to flow out of the wound.

These tentacles are equipped with conical spikes, which can firmly grasp the prey, even if the slippery loach is entangled, the only end is to be eaten.

But Zhang Sen is a human being, far from being comparable to animals who don't know how to use tools.

He realized that the Western sword was not easy to use underwater, so he immediately inserted the Western sword into the bottom of the backpack, held his breath, pulled out the short knife on his leg, and cut off the tentacles on his waist with ease.

It's a pity that although he moves very fast, he consumes a lot of oxygen, and he has been pulled deep into the underground lake in a short period of time. No matter how fast he swims, it may be too late.

At this moment, even he himself was in despair. Although he was desperately going upstream, his head began to become dull due to lack of oxygen, as if his soul would leave this world in the next moment.

"Heart!"

At this time, Xiaoxin's voice rang in his ears, and he was immediately refreshed.

He suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline hormones. Although the lack of oxygen was still there, his spirit was extremely excited. He swung his hands and feet vigorously, and his speed increased suddenly. Before he was about to die, he came out of the water, mouth Take a big breath of fresh air.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the tentacles did not attack again, he quickly swam towards the opposite bank.

In fact, the creature at the bottom of the lake seemed to have lost the idea of ​​attacking because its tentacles were cut off twice, and it didn't attack again until he climbed up the passage.

He sat down on the aisle, and the first thing he did was to pick up Xiaoxin from the luggage, and kissed it hard on the forehead.

"Little guy, thank you, if it weren't for you just now, I guess I'm finished."

Zhang Sen looked at this naive cute creature happily, and he loved it very much in his heart. After all, if it wasn't for that scream, he would have to be thrown to his grandma's house now in embarrassment.

If he really drowned here, then it is foreseeable that there will be headlines about him in the news of the Forever Kingdom: The most useless way to die in Infinity War, the drowned contestant Zhang Sen!

"You're really lucky. I'll follow you from now on, brother. I promise to make you delicious and spicy."

He rubbed Xiaoxin's fleshy face desperately, looked at the other side for a while, and then couldn't help laughing again.

Einstein had a bitter face, he was completely lost, Zhang Sen had successfully reached the opposite side, and now he was in a dilemma, a wolf before a tiger.

He wanted to swim, but he was afraid of the mysterious tentacles in the lake. After all, he was not as good as Zhang Sen. He could cut off the tentacles and escape when he was pulled into the water. As for going back, let alone the lamp was still in Zhang Sen's hands Here, what can he do even if he goes back?
Now there are two roads in front of him, one is close to death, and the other is ten death without life, it is too difficult for a human being!
"Come here quickly!"

Zhang Sen shouted loudly at Einstein.

But Einstein shook his head with a bitter face and said, "I will die."

"You won't die, the world is still waiting for you to build an atomic bomb!" Zhang Sen joked with a smile.

In fact, he heard Einstein's name called want to complain, but he was not familiar with it at the time, so he didn't really say it.

Einstein obviously didn't know what an atomic bomb was, so he shook his head and said, "I really can't, Mr. Hemmerway, can you think of other ways?"

"If you don't come here again, you won't have a chance. My knife wiped the snake's poison. Even if that guy is not poisoned to death, he won't act rashly. If you don't come here again, wait for that guy to slow down and you will have no chance at all!" Zhang Sen Finally broke the news with a laugh.

Of course he knew why the tentacle didn't pursue it, because his short knife wiped out the poisonous venom from the big snake before.

Although he didn't know how powerful the big snake's poison was, at least it should be able to calm the big guy for a while. After all, even the flat-headed brother who is known as poison-free must sleep for poisoning.

Although this creature is huge, it is just an ordinary creature in Zhang Sen's view. At least the feeling of cutting meat with a Western sword is no different from that of ordinary creatures.

With a mournful face, Einstein finally gritted his teeth and jumped into the water, frantically paddling towards the opposite passage, and the speed was not slow.

Finally, with the help of Zhang Sen, he successfully landed. The first sentence he said when he landed was: "I will never go to a place with water again."

"You have deep water phobia, you need to be cured!" Zhang Sen teased.

But this ghostly place is really scary, at least he must not have the guts to go into the water at Einstein's age. In fact, Einstein has done a very good job, it's just that Zhang Sen, the jade bead, is in front of him, and there is a gap in comparison.
