Let’s talk about going back to the Tiankeng.
After that crazy giant bird wreaked havoc for no reason, under the messy ruins, the still short Shi Liang was holding his breath, crawling his body bit by bit towards the long and narrow tunnel filled with lake water, slowly groping A way to go anywhere.
At this time, if that little old man Hua Fu was here, he would definitely be familiar with it.
Because this narrow road hidden among the underwater rocks was the extremely dangerous tunnel where he and Shi Liang had narrowly escaped death when they came here.
From the very beginning when they made their escape plan, Shi Liang and Yaoshan had already considered whether they should take this shortcut to the giant bird's nest and accomplish their strategic goals without anyone noticing.
However, just late last night, after the newly-recruited Fatty Huang introduced the environment and some secrets in the tiankeng, Shi Liang's naive idea that had just been formed was already eliminated by him in the first place. It was rejected again.
This is a coincidence. Huang Wei, as a powerful leader, was able to successfully snatch a 'survivor' from the sinkhole. Although I don't know why Shi Liang and Hua Fu were reduced to becoming meat for the violent ants in the Blood Clothes Camp. , but they can also roughly know: how lucky the two of them must have been to successfully escape that almost certain death.
Before the cold night yesterday, after seeing Shi Liang's powerful strength in detail, Huang Wei, who was already accustomed to pleasing the strong and worshiping the strong, would naturally show off his knowledge that was more than that of other mining slaves in order to improve himself in the new mine. potential value in the group'.
Among them, it is naturally inevitable that "consciously or unintentionally", he deliberately mentioned some secrets that he heard from his "godmother" and that no one else had.
According to Huang Wei, who was deliberately showing off his knowledge at the time, this waterway for the two people to escape was actually an underground water network connecting the sinkhole, insect caves and bird and animal nests.
The waterway in the middle is intricate, with nine twists and turns. It is extremely complicated. If you accidentally get lost in it, even if you have not been eaten by a swarm of violent ants or a giant bird before, you will only be able to find it on that very difficult path. In the water network on the way out, he eventually drowned, with no chance of survival.
You must know that when this complex water network was first discovered by the Bloody Clothes Battalion, which was preparing to build a camp, the then chief officer who was in charge of the overall situation spent a huge price to invite it from the capital of Shouyang. He became a hydrographic surveyor who could be regarded as the first-class hydrographic surveyor in Huazhou Kingdom at that time.
However, this top master who came from afar stayed in this deserted place for half a year and spent all his life learning, but he still failed to fully explore the entire underground water network.
It can be imagined that the twists and turns are complicated.
After experiencing his first setback, the master, who was about to resign in shame, reluctantly helped the camp and set up several relatively safe shelters in the waterway after repeated pleas from the chief officer at the time. In order to facilitate the soldiers stationed on the cliff to obtain daily water from the patio above,
And now, although the madness of the giant bird has caused the entrance and exit of the main road under the sinkhole to be arched and half-collapsed, it is because it is not far from the food delivery office set up in the Blood Clothes Camp. Due to the necessity of fetching water, it had been cleared out by the mining slaves a long time ago. There are still officers and soldiers in charge and it has not been abandoned. This is one of the reasons.
Secondly, Shi Liang's purpose was to quietly approach the giant bird, not to have a zero-distance all-round contact with the empty belly of the bird monster.
A tunnel that can be occupied by bird monsters all year round for feeding. Anyone can easily predict that it will stretch out its long, scarlet and flexible tongue again and again when it is hungry, thirsty or bored. , ask for food and enjoy.
In Shi Liang's current state, with a small physique that is almost half-wasted, he is afraid that before he can successfully find the right way out, he will have been dragged into the belly of the strange bird by that terrifying long tongue. .
Compared with Juetu, Tianque actually has relatively reliable security in many cases.
However, now this road that was originally equivalent to death has suddenly turned into a smooth road with a relatively high safety factor because of the flight of the evil giant bird.
[Wearing only a pair of small pants, Shi Liang, a slender figure, was suddenly in a small waterway. He raised his depressed head and opened his bloodshot red eyes: "Uuuuuuuu... (Kangzhuang, you uncle)" ”]
Without Yaoshan's support, the thin windbreaker on Shi Liang that could have helped him cover his figure only lasted until he could get close to the cave, and then disappeared in the wind.
Fortunately, the blood-clothed warrior who was responsible for guarding the place at that time did not stand rigidly in place, and had already returned to the vicinity of the redemption station. (Soldier: "There are supplies and officers there. Of course it is more important than this place of death.")
Only then did the 'little naked man', whose slender figure was suddenly exposed, not be discovered immediately. Instead, he ran naked in a few steps, flew like a shooting star, and suddenly jumped into the tunnel. In the pool.
Yes, Shi Liang's current destination is still the nest where the giant monster bird lives.
However, this shortcut that he originally thought would be much easier was not as easy to find as he imagined.
This underground waterway is really too complicated, with all kinds of bizarre side roads, more than a few. As a result, Shi Liang, who was wandering under the water, took a long breath every time to enter the water, and after groping for a long time, he always returned without success. Either the way forward is blocked at the end, or the corridor is too long and doesn't look like the correct exit at all.
You must know that although the bird monster's tongue is very long, it is still very limited after all. The real entrance to the nest must not be too far away from where he is now. This is why Shi Liang dares to go into the water and walk through this desperate place. reason.
'But where is it? '
The 'little boy', who had been busy for a long time, still had no idea in his heart. He knelt down at the fork of the waterway, which was not particularly spacious, and looked at the dark, deep blue waves in front of him with no end in sight, feeling very irritated.
He was already complaining about what kind of huge belly that huge strange bird had back then. It was able to suck up all the water. This was not in line with common sense at all!
'But how on earth is it done? '
You know, this is already Shi Liang's ninth breath of air after retracing his steps. The commotion caused by the giant bird in the sinkhole should have subsided by now. If you continue to delay, you are afraid that your work will be in vain, and there is a high probability that the soldiers who return to duty will catch a turtle in a jar.
'By that time, even if Xiao Shan successfully deceives the bird monster back, it will be of no avail. '
"Pfft!" Shi Liang, who had been holding his breath for a long time, was probably in a daze due to lack of oxygen. He finally couldn't help but let out less than half of the air in his mouth.
While the 'child' was struggling desperately, the group of fine bubbles that leaked out finally couldn't withstand the squeeze of the water waves and began to float rapidly.
Something magical happened!
Those flat balloon balls that should have been condensed on the smooth rock wall did not flow along the water flow caused by Shi Liang's struggle and escape higher up the water channel pit. Instead, they strangely gathered on the rock wall. In a shallow pit above.
Then, I started to get in slowly!
Yes, get in! Just like that, quietly, he got into a gap in the rock wall that should not have appeared at all!
If it weren't for the qualities of a soldier, which allowed Shi Liang to quickly regain his composure after an ineffective struggle, he would not have noticed this fleeting change.
'Here it is! right! right here! Shi Liang seemed to have some realization. He immediately groped for the edge of the gap, followed the thin crack between the stones, squinted his eyes and looked up slightly!
'Light! bright! Ha ha! found it! '
—————————————
Above the cloudless blue sky, a huge strange bird with a body like a mountain continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Chi-呲-Gu-Gah-Galu-Kah! (Hahaha, it's so fun! Bigger, bigger!)" The bird monster cried while flying, and it was hard to hide the sound in its voice. excited.
The huge pair of wings, like hanging clouds covering the sky, riding the wind, covering the sun and moon, soared into the sky, but suddenly reached the extreme, stopped and did not grow any more.
"Ka-ba? (Huh? Why did you stop?)"
The giant bird tilted its head, spun around, and lowered its already somewhat buoyant body. But a metallic voice reminded him in his head: "Sister, this can't happen anymore."
"Gu-chi? (What's wrong?)"
All I could hear was a "bang!" sound, the earth shook, and billowing smoke and dust rolled up in a radius of a hundred feet. These were the pair of invincible giant claws of that bird monster. At this time, they were comparable to two terrifying mountain pillars. They crashed to the ground, causing a huge commotion.
The giant bird soared into the sky, its body comparable to mountains. In the distance, you could see a narrow oasis not far away, a hundred miles ahead.
At this time, its body was already too exaggerated, but it did not dare to approach it carelessly like this, otherwise it would scare away all the delicious fat insects.
"Look at your feathers." This was Yaoshan's cowardly voice. Just now, he had been frightened by the madness of this bird monster.
No one would treat their body like a test subject. If anyone did, he must be a lunatic.
But now, this huge lunatic lowered his head, and immediately saw the extremely sparse feathers on his body, and the naked and pimpled chicken skin that was obviously exposed in the air, and his face instantly turned red!
"Chi--(Ah--)" This is a shrill, shy cry that goes straight to the bullfighting, like a hurricane blowing through the abject Gobi desert, rolling up layers of smoke that makes the soles of the feet numb.
