Chapter 104 Strange Waters
The water here is not too deep, almost reaching its thigh position. Wen Mo called out the flashlight and walked forward with the water. Looking at the flashlight that gradually faded away, Shi Tao hesitated for a moment and also walked down. After walking two steps in the water, he turned to us and said, "Let's go, it should be nothing!"
I am actually a little scared about such water, just like deep-sea phobia. I always think about what is hidden under the water? My legs feel a little weak when I think of this.
But at this time, the arrow was on the string and I had to fire it. I gritted my teeth, made up my mind, and walked along the steps into the water.
The cold river water suddenly touched the calf, and a chill spread along my legs. I couldn't help but chill, and there was a hint of trembling as I spoke. I don't know if it was because of the cold or because I was a little nervous, "This water is so cold!"
I stood in the water and felt that the bottom part seemed very flat, obviously it had been artificially repaired. And when I stepped on it, there was no excessive sediment. From this situation, this area of water was probably attracted by the underground river through the raft of the rocks, so the water quality was relatively clear. According to common sense, there were generally no large aquatic animals in such water. But then again, this place has been around for thousands of years, and even if it did not, it would have grown temporarily in a thousand years! In addition, this place itself is weird, so it cannot be speculated by common sense.
I walked two steps forward and looked back at Kong Xue, "Come on, I'll carry you!"
Kong Xue came over and stared at the water for a while, then looked at me nervously, "Is this water very cold?"
"A little!" I nodded, "I'd better carry you!"
Kong Xue pursed her lips, but shook her head, "No need!" She said that, she stood up and stretched out her feet, and was about to step down, then she shrank back, and looked at me with a frown, "Is there really nothing in this water?"
Looking at Kong Xue's nervous look, I smiled, "Look," and said that, I drifted back and forth in the water and then returned to the side of the stone steps. I reached out to Kong Xue, "Come on! This water is really...ah!" Before I finished speaking, I felt something slipping over my legs. Although I was wearing more than one layer of pants on my legs, the feeling just now was very clear. I believe that what I just did not have been an illusion.
In an instant, my scalp became numb, and I hurriedly retreated my hand that had already reached Kong Xue, "Stay on it! Don't come down!"
Kong Xue subconsciously shrank back, "What's wrong! Is there something? Come up quickly!"
I nodded, "I know, you stay here!" After I explained to Kong Xue, I turned around while being alert. I originally planned to greet Shi Tao and Wen Mo, but when I looked behind, I found that Shi Tao and Wen Mo had lost their traces.
I panicked at once. Although I was eager to get ashore immediately, I still couldn't leave Shi Tao and Wen Mo alone. I raised my flashlight and walked inside with a thorn. As I walked, I whispered: "Brother Tao! Wen Mo! Where are you?"
However, I screamed a few times. In the huge space, there was no response except for the echo. There was only the sound of water that I was walking around and the sound of my heavy breathing. "Where have people gone?" I felt my heart beating violently.
I looked around and the water was empty. Suddenly, I felt something stepping on my feet, and at the same time, the thing under my feet was "swooshing" away from my feet. At this moment, I had goose bumps all over and almost jumped up.
I couldn't care much anymore, so I turned around and ran to the stone platform where Kong Xue was. But I had just run out a few steps, and suddenly a splash of water surged next to me. Then I didn't know what it was, and suddenly it rushed out of the water and splashed all over my body. I was so scared that I screamed and rushed to the side.
At this time, a voice sounded from there, "Zhuo Ran is me! Don't be afraid!"
I was stunned for a moment, "Brother Tao?" Then I took a flashlight and it was Shi Tao.
Shi Tao shook the water from the waterproof flashlight and also shone it, "Yes, it's me!"
"I'll go!" I breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Tao, it's so scary!"
Shi Tao smiled, "Sorry, but I suddenly felt something under the water just now, so I went down to check it out!"
As soon as Shi Tao said this, my legs underwater were numb, "Brother Tao, you also think there is something underwater, and I also discovered it! Have you seen what is underwater?"
Shi Tao shook his head, "No, the water is too dark, the flashlight penetration ability is limited, and the things in the water are very fast! However, don't worry too much, maybe it's just fish in the water. This is living water, connecting to the underground river, so it's normal to have fish!"
I remembered what happened just now, "But I seemed to step on something just now. That thing was alive and slipped away from my feet in an instant. I can't step on a fish, right?"
After hearing what I said, Shi Tao's face changed slightly, "It seems that there may be some problems in the water! Otherwise, let's leave the water first and then make a long-term plan!"
I hesitated and looked forward, "But Wen Mo doesn't know where he is going!"
Shi Tao looked in the direction of Wen Mo's departure, "Don't worry about Brother Wen Mo. He is not a reckless person. He has his own sense of doing things. Let's take good care of ourselves first!"
What Shi Tao said makes sense, so we both started to go back, but I still felt very uneasy. Although we all felt that Wenmo would not have any trouble, he was a human being and not a god after all. If we were careless, I would probably be unable to let go of it.
I stopped, "Brother Tao, will we trust Wenmo too much? If he needs help at this time, we will leave, it's really a bit..."
Before I finished speaking, Shi Tao stopped. It was obvious from his frowning brow that he was also worried. Shi Tao nodded, "Zhuoran, you go back first, I'll go over and take a look!"
I immediately refused. Although I wanted to jump out of the water now, I understood that at this time, I couldn't patronize myself. "Brother Tao, let's go together! Once something happens, we will take care of each other."
"But she is the only one in Kong Xue." As soon as Shi Tao finished speaking, a flashlight shone over, "I'm fine," it was Kong Xue's voice, "Don't worry about me, you..." Before Kong Xue could finish her words, she suddenly said loudly: "Look behind you!"
Shi Tao and I hurriedly turned around and saw that two long ripples appeared on the water surface more than ten meters away, and were approaching us. Just like what we saw on TV, the scene of sharks approaching quickly from below the sea surface. The difference was that we saw no shark fins.
Shi Tao and I stood there for a second, and almost at the same time, "Hurry! Run!" Looking at the shape of the ripples on the water surface, we can probably guess that the thing in the water is not too small either. Shi Tao and I turned around and ran, but the water had a great resistance and started running, so we simply threw ourselves into the water and swam. I almost used all the effort to eat, but the thing behind us was also very fast, and we were chasing each other not far behind us, and the distance with us was gradually getting smaller!
When the thing was about to catch up with us, fortunately we reached the bottom of the stone steps at this time, I quickly climbed up the steps, but when a person suddenly came out of water, my body suddenly seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds! I gritted my teeth and climbed up the stone steps desperately, and rolled and rushed up.
Kong Xue also pulled us hard on it. When the three of us looked back and looked at the water surface, they found that the water ripples had already disappeared and a large number of bubbles were rising from where we went ashore. I unconsciously recycled my feet.
I was still a little shocked, "What is it in this water?"
Shi Tao stayed for a while before shook his head, "I'm very weird watching movies, otherwise we'd better go back and find another route!"
Now, this is a solution. Kong Xue and I nodded, "But," Shi Tao stood up and looked at the dark water. "I don't know where Wen Mo has gone? Alas, his personality that likes to act alone is sometimes really anxious!"
Shi Tao turned to me and said, "Zhuoran, you can take Xiaoxue away first, I'll wait for the following text here."
Just as I was about to say something, I felt someone pulling the corner of my clothes. I looked down and saw that it was Kong Xue.
I found that she was looking ahead with horror on her face, and I hurriedly asked her what was going on.
Kong Xue pointed to the passage in front and said, "Do you still remember it? When we came just now, were the carved faces on both sides of the passage?"
I don't understand, so, "Yes, the one who rolled her eyes? What's wrong?"
Kong Xue raised her hand tremblingly, and said with fear in her tone: "But why are their eyes turning around now and looking at us!"
As soon as Kong Xue finished speaking, I felt a cold air rushing to my head. When I shook the flashlight and shook it, my scalp exploded. The carvings of human faces in the passage turned to look at us as Kong Xue said.
Seeing this scene, the three of us were almost completely stunned and almost forgot to breathe. Could it be that these carved faces were alive? But this is impossible!
In the dark passage, under the light of flashlight, these human faces with pupils carved look particularly terrifying and weird! Although we have experienced many strange things, in this case, we still feel creepy!
