Long Wu is not afraid of only two things, the sky and the earth.
At least so far in the adventure, I haven't seen anything that scares him.
Seeing an inexplicable strange thing attacking, Long Wu's first reaction was not to evade, but to prepare for a fight. Again, there are two shoulders supporting one head, why are they so good?
Naturally, the huge "salt bar" didn't take Long Wu seriously and continued to move in the direction of Long Wu. However, the total area of the secret room was so large, and it was already in front of Long Wu in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that this "salt bar" didn't seem to be directed at Long Wu. The real purpose seemed to be the hollow drum behind Long Wu.
Sure enough, Long Wu decisively drew out his sword, and the Wujin Mountain Blade waved a beautiful silver lightning in the air. The lightning hit the ice crystal wall. The result can be imagined, and the "salt bar" snapped with a snap.
But something even more surprising happened.
The severed "white snake" did not pause, divided into head and tail, and continued to move towards the empty drum. Long Wu's operation just now did not seem to cause any damage to it, but actually just divided it into two teams. .
Seeing this situation, Long Wu stopped taking action and took a few steps back to join us. He saw the two groups of "Antarctic lice" that had been cut off quickly got into the gap in the hollow, like milk being poured into them. dry earth.
In less than half a minute, the huge "salt bar" disappeared out of thin air in front of our eyes, as if nothing happened just now.
Immediately afterwards, water suddenly emerged from the six springs, and this time the water flow returned to the slow pace at the beginning.
We were shocked, the shock of this disappearing technique was faster than any stimulation of the senses.
The fat man said in shock: "Damn it, so many...disappeared all of a sudden? What the hell is that place behind that wall?"
Even though I am well-read, I can't think of any creature whose larvae would grow like this.
If we say it is similar, it is just an aphid that looks very similar to it. But aphids are the delicacies of the seven-spotted ladybird, and aphids do not absorb water and swell, let alone twist into hemp ropes as thick as buckets.
Seeing that I didn't answer, the fat man felt even more uneasy: "Boss Cao, at this time, you can stop breaking the sugar cane and grinding it. Give me some symbolic opinions, my brothers are waiting for you to make up your mind."
After experiencing so many weird things in a short period of time, I realized that there are too many things hidden in the tombs of those real dragons or half-dragons that we ordinary people cannot imagine.
I immediately cursed: "Break off the sugar cane that makes cows happy! Do you think I am an encyclopedia? Even an encyclopedia is divided into two volumes! Don't forget that this is my first time going to the ground. How can things survive in this underground world?" Is it easy to guess?"
It's a mule or a horse. Let's pull it out for a walk. My opinion is: how they got in is how we pull it out!
My opinion is simple. Those transparent little bugs have opened the way for us, so there must be space behind the hollow drum.
We kept using the tools on hand to dig out the hollow stone brick, and a lot of transparent particles were killed in it. It was only after dozens of minutes that I found out that these transparent particles, which we called Antarctic lice, turned out to be Antarctic lice. The larvae of the red-tailed moth!
We dug out a black hole that could accommodate one person in the originally hollow place. By this time, a lot of water had gushed out from the six springs again.
The water level in the ground reached over my feet again.
The fat man was the main force in the work just now, and he was already very thirsty. When he saw the water on the ground, he couldn't help but want to lie down and drink.
But no one knew whether the water contained hundreds or even thousands of transparent insect eggs. The fat man licked his tongue again and again, regretting that he didn't have a filter.
I also have a dry mouth. When a person is extremely thirsty, he really panics at the sight of water. Just like I used to not understand why many people who were about to starve to death died in front of a pile of delicious food.
Now I suddenly understand that once the human body's functions reach its limit, it will really lose the energy to eat.
A person can only last a few days without drinking water. If there is sufficient water and no food, some people can last as long as dozens of days depending on their physical condition.
This is the first time in my life that I have to worry about drinking water, but fortunately we are not in a desperate situation now. I still have a few strips of jam in my backpack now, but I’ll keep this stuff in as a last resort. At least there is a buffer strategy before drinking the water from the soles of your feet.
The fat man now thought of the pear fruit he had eaten before, and he just wanted to pick up the pear core again and slurp it hard.
I also licked my dry lips and encouraged them, saying that we are here just for the Longquan water. As long as we find the Longquan water, not only to quench our thirst, but also to detoxify and prolong our lives.
The fat man was very excited about what I just said. He was excited because I finally admitted the existence of the Longquan of Immortality.
I smiled silently, but actually whether I believed it or not didn't depend on me at all. At this time, morale was the most important thing. If there is no way forward, it is no different than a headless fly.
As we said, we climbed into the newly excavated channel, carefully beating the transparent salt particles to death along the way.
But who would have thought that this passage seemed to have been dug long ago, but was later artificially filled with boulders and accumulated, blocking the entrance passage.
Those "salt particles" completely disappeared at the end of the channel, leaving only a few dozen loosely scattered along the way.
We each held an engineering shovel in our hands. In addition to the buzzing sound of iron tools, there was also a crisp sound of "sesame cracking" when the shovel was struck.
The further you go in, the surrounding walls become whiter, and the light of the searchlight is reflected wantonly. These seem to be the corpses of "Antarctic lice" left along the way.
The bodies were in the shape of ice crystals. They stick to the wall in pieces, like sesame seeds on sesame cakes. They can be shoveled off with an engineer shovel, but it's not that easy.
The fat man shoveled a few times and then stopped. Seeing his face turning white, I started to feel guilty.
We really seemed to be walking on a path leading to a world of ice and snow. If the ambient temperature hadn't dropped significantly, I would have thought that there was a world of ice and snow at the end of the road.
The fat man said that these "Antarctic lice" are almost integrated with the wall. They cannot become like this without years and months. It is impossible to say that this weird behavior has been going on for thousands of years.
We continue to move forward. If we reach a nest of such insects, it will be bad.
I agree with Fatty's statement. If I insist on comparing the current situation, I think scale is the most appropriate description.
Those of us who have used a thermos know that over the years, a layer of white hard lumps will form in the thermos. They cling to the wall of the pot and are extremely brittle. They fall apart and break when pinched.
This kind of scale is produced unconsciously. When you find it, it is already in large blocks, and you cannot find out how it condenses little by little.
We can't see the scale deposits inside every time we pour water, but repeated use will form something invisible.
In the same way, those "Antarctic lice" gushing out of the Six-Eyed Spring must have repeatedly passed through this passage year after year.
The first pass may only be the kind of loose ones stuck to the wall that we saw when we first entered. This kind of situation cannot be discovered at all without looking carefully.
But once this behavior becomes a regular pattern, "scale" will definitely form on the wall.
From the initial precipitation of a dozen, dozens, hundreds, and even countless crystals, this white crystalline substance finally formed, just like a piece of crystal.
However, the reason why this kind of precipitation can form in this area must be because they stay here more every time.
Why do they stay here for a while?
I stepped forward and turned the searchlight to the brightest, and I could clearly see that there were still a lot of fresh "Antarctic lice" stuck to the outermost layer of this crumbling crystal.
Twisting it up with your fingers, those little things are still trying to escape, but you can't tell whether they are afraid of being shattered to pieces, or because they are lagging behind and want to catch up desperately.
I found that when this kind of little thing exists alone, it does not crawl very fast, but once it gathers together, it is like a different kind of creature, heading into the channel at an extremely fast speed.
As I got closer, I suddenly saw a strange shadow beneath the large layer of ice crystals formed by the corpses of Antarctic lice.
Maybe the fat man's shoveling just now thinned the ice crystal layer a little bit. The more he stared at it, the clearer he could see it.
There is indeed something hidden underneath!
Just do it, I quickly called on the others to continue shoveling, and we shoveled down large ice crystals.
These ice crystals are actually the corpses of "Antarctic lice". When shoveled into the innermost layer, these corpses may have been there for more than a thousand years.
When I was struggling to shovel these ice crystals, I did not know the true identity of these "Antarctic lice". Looking back now, it is inevitable that my scalp is numb and tight.
In the end, the ice crystals were shoveled down one by one like huge snowflakes, but what was revealed shocked everyone present!
In the dark underground world, an oval-shaped lens appeared on the bare wall.
more specifically. Just like a desert that has been exposed to the sun for 10,000 years, the surface layer is pushed away, and the impurity crystals melt and condense below.
Through this irregular-shaped crystal, you can see a huge object placed deep inside the wall.
The blurry shadow I saw just now must be it!
Looking at it from this angle, we don't know how far away the rectangular thing is from us, but what kind of wall would be so strange, deliberately leaving a tunnel?
You can still vaguely see through the tunnel!
The fat man swallowed and said, "Old Cao, do you think that thing looks like a coffin?"
The tomb of King Jing in Longquan has been invaded several times, but no one has found the body of King Jing.
Is it possible that the real coffin of King Jing is hidden here?
That was the first reaction that came to my mind.
However, before I could think too much, I could vaguely see the coffin shaking.
Now we can see clearly, that huge black shadow seems to really have a cover!
But at this moment, Long Wu suddenly said, "No! It's not the black shadow that's moving, but the whole wall that's shaking!"
The fat man's and my attention were all attracted by the huge black shadow deep in the wall that looked like a coffin. Long Wu's words suddenly woke up the dreamer.
