Chapter 5 Pretend
Zhao Shucheng looked at the dark river that appeared in front, then looked at the surroundings with no other roads, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It seems that we can only go into the water today."
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but sigh that there was indeed a lack of supplies in this era. Otherwise, carrying an inflatable rubber boat with him could avoid wading and avoid some possible underwater dangers.
After the group went down the river, the fat man couldn't help but sigh: "It would be nice to say that there is a lesbian in this team. The clothes that Chief Yang made for us are good and the waterproof suit, and there is no feeling at all."
The fat man's nonsense made others ignore the thoughts and walk forward with all their hearts.
The fat man was a little bored and could only follow everyone, but he seemed to notice something was wrong and always felt like something was staring at him.
"Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, do you feel it? I feel a strange feeling. I always feel something is following us?"
Hu Bayi just glanced at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fatty, what are you holding on to?"
"No, I really don't. You can't look at the problem from a historical perspective." Seeing Hu Bayi continue to move forward, Wang Kaixuan could only come to Yang Xueli and said, "Staff General Yang, everyone says that your women have the most sensitive sixth sense. Do you feel anything?"
Yang Xueli said: "A woman's sixth sense is used in her feelings."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Put the sixth feeling on the other side of the relationship evenly, and you can feel it well."
Yang Xueli couldn't resist Wang Kaixuan's entanglement and pretended to sense it carefully, but felt nothing.
Seeing that Yang Xueli didn't feel anything, Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "No, you really didn't feel it? I really felt it behind..."
Shirley Yang smiled, looked at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fatty, are you scared?"
"No, I'm not scared, I just feel..."
Shirley Yang stared at Fatty Wang and said, "When a person is afraid of his fear when he is so strong that he is afraid, he must be afraid. Double denial means affirmation."
Zhao Shucheng looked behind and said, "Sherley, Fatty, go quickly. Shirley, in fact, you are wrong to say that. There is another possibility, that is, what the Fatty said is true, and he really feels something."
Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng with some surprise and said, "Master Zhao, really?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Look at this underground river. If you ignore the mountain wall next to it, does it look like a cut gourd? Also, there are eagle owls first and then mutated dancing grass in the insect valley. Who can guarantee that there are no other unknown creatures here?"
"As mentioned before, the insect valley was formed by the fall of meteorites, and there is a unique electronic magnetic field on these meteorites. After these carved meteorite statues, the entire insect valley is affected by this special magnetic field. The terrain here has not changed for hundreds of millions of years, so there must be some creatures that have disappeared or extinct from the outside world."
Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli were stunned when they heard this. Yang Xueli said, "Master Zhao, do you mean, will we encounter some prehistoric creatures here?"
"It's just possible, but Fatty said that he felt something was wrong, so don't ignore it. Although Fatty is sometimes talkative and even has a low hand, his perception has always been beyond ordinary people. Before, the Jingjue Ancient City and the Dragon Ridge Cave were people who discovered something wrong at the first time, so we should believe in Fatty."
When Wang Kaixuan heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he immediately said happily: "Did you hear that? Lao Hu, Staff Yang, Master Zhao all say that I have strong perception, and you still don't believe it."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Fatty, don't be complacent. Since we know there is something to follow, we should not argue here. Leaving here early is the only way to get ashore. After all, if we are in the water, some of them are not enough to escape, and escaping is much slower than being on the shore."
Wang Kaixuan leaned over to Hu Bayi with his chest and said, "Old Hu, do you know what I thought of just now, water ghost! I'm talking about the water ghost we've seen."
Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang and said, "It's been so many years ago. Why are you talking about it?"
Shirley Yang asked curiously: "You two have seen water ghosts, are they real or not?"
"Telling the story of a water ghost in the water is not afraid of scaring Staff Yang."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I really want to meet you. I don't know which is better than my Golden Light Curse or the Water Ghost."
When others heard Zhao Shucheng say this, they remembered that Zhao Shucheng's Golden Light Curse was a unique skill in Longhu Mountain, and they felt that it was not that scary in an instant.
After a few people walked for a while, Hu Bayi hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhao was right just now. Do you think this space is like a big upside-down gourd. The narrow mountain path we just walked out was the mouth of the gourd, and the lake we passed just now was the small belly of the gourd. Now the larger lake we are in is the big belly of the gourd, and the water hole we passed just now is the waist of the gourd."
Shirley Yang nodded and said, "So that's it. When we were in the mountain temple, the mountain god had one hand gourd and the other hand toad. We knew that the gourd was always a little confused. Now it seems that it should be here."
Not long after, the group finally arrived on the shore. The shore was made of stone and some carved traces.
When Shirley Yang accidentally swept the water with a flashlight, she suddenly saw something and said, "Old Hu, what do you think is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the flashlight and saw something slightly transparent floating on the water.
Wang Kaixuan said nervously: "I'll go, there's really a water ghost!" As he said that, he was about to pick up the gun and shoot.
Hu Bayi stopped him and said, "This may be a dead float. Why does it still shine?"
Seeing Yang Xueli was a little puzzled and said, "It's the corpse floating in the water."
Shirley Yang looked at Deep Piao and said, "This looks like a female corpse."
Wang Kaixuan said: "It's still a female corpse without clothes, hehe..."
Hu Bayi frowned and said, "No, if this is a dead float, it should have existed for thousands of years. How could it be preserved so well that it has no rotten at all?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Did you forget the high priest you saw before? This corpse was obviously treated by King Xian with a sperm."
At this moment, the female corpse's stomach suddenly moved, which scared Wang Kaixuan and said, "I'll go, this thing moved!"
Zhao Shucheng said, "Okay, don't look at it. Since the King Xian put this female corpse here, it should be to protect his tomb, so it is likely that there are poisonous insects inside. Let's leave here quickly. Also, if you wear a gas mask, maybe there will be some unknown poisonous miasma or poisonous insects here."
The others became nervous when they heard this, quickly put on a gas mask, and even wrapped their heads in clothes without revealing any gaps.
"I said, let's withdraw earlier. It's better to have less trouble than more. It's more important to find the Duchen Pearl!" Hu Bayi also felt something was wrong.
Just as a few people turned around and left, suddenly the lake surface ripples of ripples appeared, and then they saw wisps of red mist escaping from above the water waves and spreading. You could see the dense female corpses floating on the water surface in the distance, as if approaching everyone.
"I'll go, how much is this deadly drift?"
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help frowning. Although he had known that there were many corpses in the tomb of King Xian, and he had seen many corpses in the previous burial pit, but it was not as shocking as the dead floats here.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng was more angry. After all, these dead drifters are different from the corpses in the previous burial pit. They are all women, and they can even be said to be pregnant women.
While everyone continued to move forward, the ground was either close to the water source, or because the top of the cave was seeping down, the ground was a little wet and slippery, so everyone could only move forward carefully.
The fat man also assisted Shirley Yang who almost fell down and gained Shirley Yang's gratitude, but no one expected that the fat man himself slid down his feet and fell directly backward because he stepped on a stone.
The fat man kept holding a gun in his hand. Because of his nervousness, he pulled the trigger directly, and the gunshot kept echoing in the cave.
Others wanted to pull the fat man, but they didn't expect that the fat man was about to stand up, and then another gunshot was shocked, which made the person who wanted to step forward suddenly discouraged.
Wang Kaixuan seemed to know that his behavior was very dangerous just now, so he quickly let go of the gun in his hand and then got up.
Everyone originally wanted to continue moving forward, but suddenly they heard something and looked at the river not far away.
"Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, why is the movement on the water getting louder and louder?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "The fat man just shot and alarmed something, so he came towards us."
Shirley Yang took the light gun and fired a flare at a high point in the river. He saw that the dead floats on the water were indeed approaching them, and the red mist on the water seemed to be moving around something.
Seeing this, Zhao Shucheng knew that the situation was critical and said to the others: "Run, hurry up and leave the river!"
After everyone was a little far apart, Zhao Shucheng continued: "I originally thought that these red fogs were as poisonous as white miasma outside, but now I think that's not the case. After all, if the red fog is really poisonous, those dead drifts would not have any problems in this thousand years."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Can you not be the old man Xian applied poison to these dead floats?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and shook his head, saying, "The possibility you mentioned does not exist, but it is unrealistic. You should know that there are thousands of dead floats here. If you need to use so many potions, the manpower and material resources required are a little small. Moreover, most of the ancients collected potions to collect wild plants. With so many potions, even the entire insect valley is probably not enough. Moreover, these dead floats are still in water, and they will always be diluted by water over time. It is impossible to have no problem at all."
"On the contrary, there is another situation, that is, these red mists are not real poison gas, but blood gas! They are the unique abilities of some creatures. After swallowing food, they do not need to eat for a long time. However, if they encounter enemies, they can spit out the food they swallowed into their stomachs and welcome the enemy in the fullest state."
Shirley Yang suddenly thought of something and said, "What you mean is that some creatures can quickly decompose the food stored in the shortest time and then expel the waste from the body. However, because the time is too short, it is impossible to absorb it carefully, and eventually a red mist will form on the water surface. But can this kind of creature exist in nature?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "We have never seen it before, but it does not mean it does not exist, let alone I should have said it before."
Shirley Yang and the others immediately understood and said, "What do you mean is that there are really prehistoric creatures here? Because of the special nature of this place, they survived by chance. Moreover, King Xian also knew about this situation, so the dead float here is actually the food specially prepared by King Xian?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "It's possible, so we're better off being careful. Since King Xian regards it as a tomb-guarding beast, it's either fierce or big, or even both."
At this moment, the water surface suddenly exploded, and a huge creature rushed directly to Zhao Shucheng and the others. Fortunately, several people had already prepared and quickly dodged. When they heard a bang, the creature fell directly on the ground and crushed a stone that had been erected for thousands of years into powder.
"Master Zhao, Lao Hu, what is this?" Wang Kaixuan found that it was not working at all after firing the gun, so he quickly asked.
Hu Bayi looked at the huge creature in front of him with some confusion and said, "It's not a celestial dragon, nor a crayfish, I've never seen it before."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Shucheng said: "This is the Huo Immortal Worm, with extremely tenacious vitality. Unless it is eaten and digested with gastric juice, as long as a part of the neural network is left, you can still survive."
While shooting, Hu Bayi said helplessly: "Master Zhao, are you kidding? How can you eat such a big guy? The four of us can't finish eating even in a year, right?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "I am talking about the original Huo Immortal worm, but now I have lived for many years. I used to be a little hard shell, but now I have bulletproof armor. As for eating it, it is even more impossible to do. It can only temporarily lose its combat ability. However, as long as the cave is kept ventilated, it will not be able to survive on its own. Because it is too old and still relies on oxygen to survive, but the oxygen content in the outside world cannot keep it such a large body shape."
When Zhao Shucheng saw that Hu Bayi and his guns did not have enough damage to the Huo Immortal Worm, he said, "Old Hu, you and the fat man should restrain the attention of this thing. Since the gun is useless, then use the most primitive method."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng pulled out the long sword he had been carrying behind him, and then took advantage of the Huo Immortal Worm to rush to the ground, and rushed over with the sword and crawled along its body to the head.
Zhao Shucheng directly inserted his sword into the Huo Immortal Worm, and then pulled out a spare long sword and kept poking the Huo Immortal Worm, again and again until the hilt of the sword.
The Huo Immortal Worm could naturally feel the pain and kept swaying in the cave, trying to throw Zhao Shucheng down, but couldn't get rid of it.
