The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 57
The waiting time always seemed extraordinarily long, it seemed like years.In this situation without any security guarantee, every second is a challenge.I don't know the time, and I have no time to count. I can only use all my energy and physical strength to stabilize myself.

The icy groundwater has washed away for a long time, and the cold air penetrates from the skin to the muscles, and from the muscles to the bones, freezing my whole body.The flow rate of this groundwater is very strange, and I don't know what it is affected by. Sometimes it is high and sometimes it is low. Occasionally, the water will suddenly rise, and a high wave will hit me, and I will pour my head. Feeling, don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

Tan Ren still didn't wake up. In the dark underground river, there was only the sound of groundwater rushing.

I adjusted my breathing, waiting for Zhou Xuanye's rescue.

I don't know how long it took, but when all the muscles in my body started to go numb, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something flashing by in the underground river.

Since the brain has been in a state of nervous tension, although the thing quickly disappeared from sight, I can be sure that it is definitely not my eyesight.What flashed in his sight was a dark, scaly thing.

At this moment, I thought of the giant python.

However, Zhou Xuanye said that the giant python was already dead.

Could it be some big fish?
Although I haven't read a few books, some basic knowledge is still clear.Underground water Due to various reasons such as underground pressure, it is generally believed that aquatic organisms cannot exist in groundwater, such as fish and shrimp, except of course, microorganisms.

But what happened to that big guy I just saw?

The searchlight hangs at the end of the rope and hangs on my arm. The impact of the water makes my whole body shake from time to time, so the searchlight hanging on my arm also shakes.The straight light beam swayed towards the water surface in front of me. The clean and thorough groundwater shocked people with its extreme purity.

Maybe it dived into deep water?
It seems that the so-called saying that there are no living things in the groundwater is not realistic.

However, although it just flashed by just now, judging from the flashing scales, even if it is a fish, it is probably a big fish. Although there are creatures in the underground water, there are not too many of them. Will there be a food shortage or something?

No matter what, I hope that thing won't be interested in me. I just want to stay here quietly and wait for rescue.

However, things in this world are so fucked up, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come. As the lights flickered, I suddenly discovered that a huge black shadow was slowly rising towards the surface of the water in the depths of the groundwater. come up.

"Gudu." I heard the sound of myself swallowing saliva, and my heart jumped up, thinking to myself: No matter what kind of fish you are, we humans don't offend fish, and fishes better not offend humans. You can't see me, you can't see me, look Can't see me, can't see me...

Immediately afterwards, a scene that made people want to cry without tears appeared. I watched helplessly. The black shadow did not rise straight up, but swam towards me while rising, forming an upward route. Are you coming after me?

That thing was so fast, I barely had time to swear, and it popped out of the water.A huge black fish head appeared in front of my eyes. It was only about five meters away from me. The huge fish mouth was slightly open, revealing the sharp teeth inside. It looked like a man-eating fish!

In an instant, I was so startled that I even stopped breathing. Fear and bewilderment made this moment seem to be frozen, leaving only this fish head in front of my eyes.

It has no eyes, to be precise, it has eyes, but the eyes are small and almost invisible. Obviously, living in the ancient underground waterway without light, its eyes have not evolved at all, or it once had, but it has been Degenerated, on both sides of the huge head, there are only two black spots the size of peanuts.

I immediately realized that maybe the light source in my hand attracted it?Deterioration of eyesight does not mean total blindness, the sudden light can easily stimulate these creatures that live in the dark.Unfortunately, it seems a little late to know this now, because this strange big fish whose name is unknown, with its mouth wide open and full of sharp fangs, suddenly bit me.

At this moment, human instinct made me just hide.

Don't hide, wait for it to bite off my head?

However, the consequence of hiding was that in the next second, my body lost its center of gravity, and my whole body was washed out from under the mouth of the big fish under the washing of the water!

The whole process only happened in a few seconds. In such a few seconds, besides Superman, normal people probably have the same virtue as me.One second he avoided the fish head, and the next second he was flushed by the groundwater and turned somersaults in the water.

The flow of groundwater was very fast, and within a few seconds, it rushed me more than ten meters away. I simply kept holding the rope tightly in my hand, so I was not really washed away.

At this moment, the rope in my hand stretched into a straight line, becoming my only tool against the erosion of the water.

The icy groundwater was boiling, hitting his body, and splashing a large amount of water.My body was ups and downs under the erosion of the groundwater, and the rope was also bouncing tightly under my weight, rubbing violently against the edge of the spout.

At this moment, I feel a little hopeless.

If this continues, this originally not very strong rope will be worn out sooner or later.

And what drives me crazy now is that although I was not washed away by the current, Tan Ren was gone!
When I dodged, Tan Ren, who was unconscious behind me, naturally slid into the groundwater!The searchlight hangs down into the water. This thing is waterproof, and even under water, the light is very bright, which is right for its expensive price.

At this moment, I held on to the rope tightly with both hands to prevent being washed away by the water, but my body still inevitably swayed from side to side under the impact of the water flow. With the light that swayed with me, I saw that huge black fish with a head Turning around, he swam towards me again.

At the same time, I found that there was no one in the cave where Tan Ren was originally placed.

Tan Ren, sank into the water?
Zhou Xuanye asked me to guard him, but... I lost him...

Lost is a better word, more precisely, it should be killed.What will happen if a comatose person, a person who cannot wake up, is thrown into the bottomless underground river?There is no other way but to die.

The black fish is obviously very sensitive to the light source. Instead of diving into the water to eat the ready-made Tan Ren, it came towards me again.This thing is very powerful, with a swing of the tail, the whole body leaps several meters, and in less than three seconds, the huge body is approaching again.

This time I didn't hide.

How else can I hide?
There is no hiding, no need to hide!The self-blame and anger at this moment made me go all out, and I didn't care about drowning or drowning, running for my life or not running for my life. There was only one thought in my mind: Tan Ren sank into the water, Tan Ren He was dead, he couldn't die in vain.

In fact, if I climbed up the rope earlier, I still had a chance to escape, but the stimulation of my companion being killed by me made me never think about this level, and only revenge was left in my mind.

Even if it is death, this monster must be dragged and buried with Tan Ren.

Therefore, the moment it bit me, I pulled out the dagger tied to my thigh, stretched out from the water, and stabbed at the monster's jawbone from bottom to top.

The head of this thing is huge and the surface is hard. If it attacks other parts, it probably won't work.But I know that the lower part of the fish head is the place where the two halves of the cheekbones meet, and it is also the softest part of the fish head. Just like the human throat, there is no bone protection. If you stab it from this position, you will definitely see blood.

This fish is too big.So there is almost no need to aim, and I thrust in with this stab.All this happened in a very short period of time. The big fish was stimulated by this, and its mouth snapped together, and the upper and lower teeth closed less than three centimeters away from the tip of my nose.

so close!

Escaping from the dead, I almost collapsed, only the hand holding the rope, out of human instinct, still holding on tightly, the rope tightened the skin and flesh, and the flesh on the hand was stimulated by the double stimulation of cold water and blood. It was almost blue, and at the same time, accompanied by a sense of numbness.

I doubt whether my hand will be useless.

However, people are going to die, so it doesn't matter if their hands are useless or not.

The big fish closed its mouth in pain. Although it didn't bite me, its body struggled violently. A huge fish head slammed into my chest with such force that it almost made people vomit blood. I pulled The hand holding the rope lost its strength in an instant, and the whole person was knocked out along the water flow, and the dagger in his hand was pulled out with this force.

At the last glance, I only saw a burst of bright red blood flowing from the fish's chin. After that, I couldn't see anything, because I was sucked into the water, and I was swaying around. Limbs, just barely fell into the deep water.

In this kind of struggle, I can take a breath with my nose out of the water from time to time, but often I can't breathe too much, and I am pushed into the water again by the waves.

Without the rope, my body just goes with the flow.Without the searchlight, my eyes quickly became dark.
