"What are you wondering about?"
"I'm thinking about the monsters in that lake. They must have other passages, otherwise they wouldn't be able to live for so long!" Liu Bao looked at me seriously.
What Liu Bao said is correct. There must be other passages in the lake, otherwise there would be no way there would be so many eight-legged lizards.
Just as he was talking, the old professor coughed a few times and opened his eyes with some pain. His lips were a little dry, probably because he hadn't drank water for a long time. Apart from being a little weak, there was no other serious problem. !
I quickly took out a bottle of water and handed it to him, and asked: "Old professor, what do you think?"
The old professor nodded and said that he was fine, but his body was extremely weak and he needed to rest. He had to get up, but it was a bit difficult!
I quickly supported him and helped him up, letting the old professor rest on the bedside.
Now only the old professor should know the situation in this swamp, after all, he was the first person to find it!
"How is the black dragon?"
The old professor noticed the black dragon beside him, and saw that the black dragon was pale and had a white cloth wrapped around his belly. Naturally, the old professor had some worry on his face.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He's been bandaged up now. He should wake up tomorrow morning."
I smiled and said, and told the old professor about the black dragon.
After hearing this, the old professor felt relieved.
"By the way, old professor, how did you find the lake within a lake?"
At this time Xu Jinxiu asked, and her face was full of worry. If it is as Liu Bao and I guessed, there really are other roads leading to the place inside, then this place must be what we are looking for. of that place.
"I……"
The old professor was about to answer, but suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jinxiu asked eagerly.
Liu Bao and I also looked at the old professor, hoping that he could tell us about the situation of the lake within the lake. After all, the old professor was the first person to walk in from the swamp.
"Hey... it's a long story!" The old professor sighed, and then said slowly: "That night I found something that didn't belong in this swamp, so I wanted to go to the swamp to have a look. Condition……"
According to the old professor, he went to the swamp alone that night. He originally wanted to see if there was anything strange in the swamp.
Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he fell down. In a hurry, he saw Leile's bones at the bottom of the swamp.
Originally, he wanted to run away, but a white bone grabbed his feet and he couldn't break free for a while.
He panicked and tried desperately to break free, but in the end he fell into the mud again because of excessive force!
At that moment, he was frightened and struggled desperately!
Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly felt severe pain in his ankle. When he looked down, he found the claws of an unknown creature grabbing him. Before he could react, he was pulled inside. Go in.
When the old professor regained consciousness, he found himself on a grassy field. He thought he was out of danger.
He didn't notice that countless eight-legged lizards appeared next to him. Their target was the old professor. When they saw that the old professor was awake, they rushed towards him one after another!
These eight-legged lizards were so fast that they surrounded the old professor in an instant!
"help me!"
The old professor shouted desperately, but there was no response from the people around him!
Although these eight-legged lizards are extremely aggressive, because they live underground all year round, they have very weak eyesight without light and can only rely on their sense of smell and hearing to catch prey!
The old professor discovered this habit, so he took out the mosquito repellent he carried with him, touched it for a while, then fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, thus escaping his life.
After listening to what the old professor said, Liu Bao and I looked at each other. No wonder the more noise we made when we were down there, the more ferocious those guys became.
"So, there must be another passage in the lake within the lake. Since these monsters exist, then what must they appear to protect?"
Liu Bao thought for a moment and said.
The old professor also nodded.
"Old professor, based on your experience, let's see if there is anything we are looking for in that one."
I looked at the old professor and asked, if the inference is correct, what should those eight-legged lizards be guarding? He is like a forest ranger.
The old professor shook his head, sighed and said: "I can't tell you exactly! The only thing I can be sure of is that there must be an important secret hidden in that place, but I don't know what it is specifically!"
Liu Bao raised his eyebrows, then turned to me and said, "Do you want us to go down again?"
"Go down?"
I frowned and said, "Didn't we almost die at the hands of those beasts just now? Wouldn't it be a mistake to go in now? If you want to go down, you must be fully prepared."
Liu Bao chuckled, slapped me twice and said, "What are you afraid of? I found that those beasts seemed to be afraid of explosives. This time I will bring more explosives to kill them."
I was stunned. Before I could speak, the old professor spoke first.
"It's not that he's afraid of explosives, it's that the explosives exploded. The sound was too loud for them to bear. If my guess is correct, they mainly rely on hearing to identify. Although their sense of smell is also a method, it is not sensitive."
The old professor's explanation suddenly enlightened me. It was indeed like this. Explosives were used to confuse them, and the explosives were powerful enough to kill them.
After some discussion, we decided that we would go down after the black dragon wakes up tomorrow morning.
The old professor said that there should be another space under the lake within the lake, and there must be other dangerous things in that space, but he didn't know the specific degree of danger.
The old professor only occasionally heard strange noises coming from underneath the mysterious lake. The sounds were like beasts roaring or humans screaming.
In short, when he heard that sound, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and sometimes it even made those eight-legged lizards afraid.
After the discussion was over, we dispersed.
I lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, and what the old professor said flashed in my mind. If those eight-legged lizards are really guarding something, then this trip must be very dangerous for us.
After all, this swamp is an unsolved mystery. The bones at the bottom of the swamp and the eight-legged lizard in the lake within the lake make this thing more and more interesting.
When I opened my eyes the next day, the black dragon was already standing at the head of my bed, staring straight at me.
"What are you doing?"
Subconsciously, I became nervous. Could it be that this black dragon was possessed by some evil spirit?
"It was my fault last time. From now on, I will listen to you where to go and when to act."
Black Dragon suddenly seemed like a different person, which made me a little uncomfortable.
Is this still the arrogant and cold black dragon I know?
"Are you in any trouble?" I looked at the black dragon and asked. This guy usually didn't even bother to look at me, but this time he actually took the initiative to show his kindness.
"No." Heilong said lightly, "When I woke up last night, I figured something out."
Seeing his appearance, I was even more puzzled, what the hell?
"What have you figured out?" I said suspiciously.
"I figured it out." Heilong looked up at the roof and murmured: "You are more experienced than me in this regard. For our safety, we should listen to you!"
"uh-huh."
Black Dragon's realization surprised me a little. Has he completely surrendered?
"Okay, how do you feel now? If you can move, we can eat something and go down again!"
I stretched out and got up from the bed. I looked at my watch and found that it was already nine o'clock.
Black Dragon nodded, turned around and walked out.
After everything was cleared up, we returned to the swamp again.
The environment here has changed, even though it only took one night.
A big hole appeared in the place where I went on a business trip, and the smell of corpses in the entire swamp was particularly obvious.
"It was like there were thousands of bodies dumped in there."
Xu Jinxiu frowned. This was the first time she smelled such a strong wet smell.
"Hurry up and get ready. We'll go down later."
I found a relatively hard place and fixed the anchor point there. After everything was sorted, I asked a few people from the Black Ridge team to stay on top to guard it. After all, they were all wounded now, and it would only cause more trouble if they went down.
"Let's go!"
After one person took some anti-miasma pills, he swam directly in along the last place.
The Black Dragon and I dived toward the bottom of the water one after another, with several other people following behind. After a while, we found the lake within the lake, but due to the collapse of the top, the lake within the lake had already been submerged. In a large area, there is only a barely accessible passage.
Fortunately, when we entered this time, the eight-legged lizards were not waiting for us there.
After we all got ashore, Liu Bao already had the explosives in his hands.
"Brother Chen, just look at me this time. I will blow up those beasts as soon as they come out."
As soon as Liu Bao finished speaking, an eight-lizard jumped down from the cliff above.
Its speed was as fast as thunder, and Liu Bao didn't even see where it jumped from.
Liu Bao was so frightened that he dropped all the bombs in his hands.
A few of us hurriedly hid behind the nearby stone wall, and saw the eight-legged lizard landed not far from us.
"Where are your explosives?"
I glanced at Liu Bao who was hiding behind me. He was talking big words just now. At this moment, his legs were shaking a little.
"How about you go, Brother Chen?" Liu Bao said tremblingly.
