Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 27 There is something in the water!
Chen Lianchang asked with a dark face, is it possible that it was something from the previous tomb?
"No." Lao Yan shook his head, and said about the rubber shoe prints: "It can't be that there are rubber shoes in a thousand-year-old country?"

I frowned and said that we should go another way. Lao Yan hummed, took out the map and studied it for a while, then raised his head and said, "I'm afraid not."

I looked at him suspiciously, and he said with a bitter face that the direction where the footprints extend is the only way we must pass, and now we are walking along the river bed, and we can still bypass it.But after finding the water source, we still have to go back to the original direction, and then it will be in the same direction as the footprints.

I didn't know what to say for a while, and in the end Lao Yan just asked us to strengthen our vigilance, saying that this thing was elusive, but it didn't attack us, maybe it had other purposes.

Now it can only be like this, the four of us take turns to watch the night, and we don't set off again until the sky turns white.

"Old Yan, did you make a mistake?" After walking for a long time, Chen Lianchang took a sip of water and wiped the sweat from his face with his hand.

Lao Yan pointed to the river bed and said how could he go wrong?

Company Commander Chen irritatedly said that the water would last until noon tomorrow at most, and if the water source could not be found, everyone would die of thirst.

"Let's go and see." Lao Yan frowned, and finally said this.

But until it was dark, there was still no sign of the water source. I looked at the river bed and exchanged glances with Lao Yan, only to feel that something was really wrong.Lao Yan's judgment was correct. According to the humidity of the river bed and its direction, the water source should have been found long ago, but the river bed was about to end, but there was not a drop of water in sight.

"Come here!"

Lao Yan and I were standing on the edge of the river bed and were about to do some more research when the poisonous snake suddenly called out.

I turned my head and took a look, and saw that he and Company Commander Chen had strange faces, so I ran over immediately: "What's wrong?"

"Look, the footprints appeared again." The poisonous snake pointed not far away.

I looked up and saw a string of footprints spreading towards the opposite direction of the river bed.

The poisonous snake said that the footprints just appeared, appearing little by little in front of his eyes.

I took a look at Lao Yan, his heart was broken, he waved his hands and said, "Follow me!"

Company Commander Chen was a little hesitant, but I agreed. The first time this footprint appeared was on the river bed, and the next two times were also when we were discussing the water source. Maybe it was guiding us.

Although this idea is absurd, you might as well give it a try!
So we packed our things and walked in the direction of the footprints.

Now that it was already dark, we followed the footprints carefully, for fear that we would accidentally fall into it. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

After walking like this for a whole night, when it was dawn, a lake appeared in front of us. The crystal clear water made us feel cool in an instant.

I breathed out: "Old Yan, it seems that the owner of that footprint is indeed helping us."

After walking along the dry river for almost two days, the water in our pot was almost bottomed out, and we hadn't touched the edge of the water source. I didn't expect such a large lake to appear after following the footprints for an hour.

Lao Yan frowned, and asked if I thought this lake was a bit weird?
eccentric?
Hearing this, I glanced at the lake, pondered for a while, and said, "There is no vegetation around here."

"That's right." Lao Yan grabbed a handful of sand: "The sand here is very moist, logically speaking, it should form an oasis, but the surroundings are bare, which is a bit unreasonable."

The poisonous snake shook his head, pointed to a tunnel under his feet and said, "It's not that there is no such thing, you see."

Lao Yan and I approached him, and saw that under his feet was a dry grass that could no longer be identified. I squatted down and pinched it, and the grass immediately turned into dust and mixed with the surrounding sand.

We searched around again and found several such grasses, some of which may not look small, but they blended into the sand when spread on the sand.

"It shouldn't be..." I rubbed the withered and dead plants, and frowned deeply.

Lao Yan frowned even tighter, pinching the plants for a long time before telling us to quickly fill up the water and leave, not to stay here for a long time.

We understood what he meant, and the idea of ​​washing our face and body was thrown away in an instant, and we took off the kettle and poured water into it desperately.

"Ah!" There was a scream, and my hands shook in fright.

When he looked up, he saw Lianchang Chen pointing at the water with a pale face. A piece of flesh was missing from his right wrist, and the blood flowed in the water and instantly turned red.

"Old Chen!"

Lao Yan yelled, supported Company Commander Chen, and blocked his wound with his hand.

"There's something in the water, hurry up, get out of here." Company Commander Chen yelled regardless of his injuries.

The poisonous snake and I were caught off guard by this sudden change, and immediately took a step back after hearing his words.

Lao Yan pulled Company Commander Chen away from the lake, and beckoned the poisonous snake to bandage the wound, but he walked back to the lake with a gun in his hand.

Company Commander Chen grabbed him and told him not to go, saying that he didn't see anything at all, and the lake was so clear that he could see to the end at a glance, this thing appeared too strange!
I also think it's wrong, I advise Lao Yan to look at the situation first.

"It's okay." Lao Yan waved his hand and insisted on walking over. Company Commander Chen and I held our breaths, fearing that something might happen to him again.

Only the poisonous snake had no time to care about Lao Yan, and concentrated on bandaging Company Commander Chen's wound. The wound bit extremely deep, but luckily it didn't hurt the main artery.

Lao Yan slowly approached the lake, stared at the lake for a long time, turned around and said nothing strangely.

"Old Smoke, get out of the way!"

I yelled, and the moment he turned his head, I saw waves in the lake, a blue shadow skimmed out of the water, and quickly attacked Laoyan.

As expected of Lao Jianghu, when Lao Yan heard my roar, he almost didn't waste any time, just jumped forward and rolled away on the spot.

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw the blue shadow hit the sand, and then crawled towards Lao Yan quickly.

"Hurry up, let's go!" I took two steps forward and grabbed Lao Yan's arm, and dragged him away without looking back. The poisonous snake on the other side reacted faster, leading Company Commander Chen to retreat a long way away.

I didn't dare to stop, the thing behind was moving very fast, the rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and I might be overtaken by it even if I stopped for a second.

"Run to the left!"

The poisonous snake in front stopped, turned to look at me, and said hello.

I turned a corner while dragging the old smoke, and only heard a bang, and the poisonous snake fired directly.

"You two boys are out for revenge? If the gun is too far away, it will hit my head!" Lao Yan roared, I ignored him, let alone the poisonous snake, turned around and ran away after firing a few shots .

With his help, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. I dragged Lao Yan and ran for a certain distance before going back to join the poisonous snakes.

"Did you see clearly just now, what exactly is it?" I asked quickly as soon as I met the poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake thought for a while and said: "That thing is not big, its color is very strange, light blue, it is estimated to be only as long as an arm, and it is flat and flat like a fish, but... its head does not match its body. Its head is big, and it seems to have legs, so it crawls very fast on the ground."

We were all silent after hearing his description. No wonder we didn’t notice this thing just now. It’s the same color as water, but it’s comparable to the previous sandworms.

Lao Yan frowned and asked if the poisonous snake had hit the strange fish. The poisonous snake nodded first, and then shook its head: "It hit, but because it was too fast, the shot missed, and it turned around and plunged into the fish." into the lake."

"It's okay, it's a good thing the water has been poured, so let's stay away from it." Company Commander Chen panted heavily, apparently with lingering fear.

"Haw!"

At this moment, a loud and clear chicken's cry sounded like an enlarged version.

The poisonous snake's face suddenly changed, and it roared and ran away!

I looked back and saw at least [-] or [-] strange fish crawling out of the lake not far away, rushing towards us!
