The fat man could no longer hear the sound inside the conch. We took turns to listen, and it was indeed quiet. It was as if after taking out the unicorn antlers cup, the huge conch was finally freed, and all the tranquility of the world was absorbed into it.
Could it be that the sound in the conch and this cup are the key?
While I was still thinking about it, a rotten smell penetrated my nostrils, like a few cans of herring that had just been opened, and they were working violently. The smell of the sea breeze could be vaguely found in the stench.
Following the smell, I discovered that the strange smell was actually emanating from the giant conch. The giant conch that suddenly lost its Kirin Antler Cup seemed to be rapidly returning to the path of decay.
At that moment, I had the urge to return the Kirin Antler Cup to its original place, wondering what would happen if I put it back.
But then the fat man came over and put the Han Cicada Jade into the Kirin Antler Cup like a Russian matryoshka doll. Then he carefully wrapped the two treasures and stuffed them into the deepest part of my backpack. He also told me loudly not to let any little thieves get away with me again.
He whispered to me again, "Take Qianqian, please take it. From now on, we will depend on this treasure for everything we need to eat and wear!"
I don’t know if it’s because of the rancid smell, but the irritability in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. The incident about the corpse formation has always made me feel uneasy. I always feel that we missed something when we escaped. This uneasiness continues. Now.
Although the water in the pool was dark, it had no peculiar smell. I walked over and squatted down, holding the water in both hands to wash my face with cold water, hoping that this would relieve the tension and depression in my heart.
The cold water is poured on the face, and every inch of the skin is enjoying the coldness. The shrinkage of the pores is enough to refresh one's spirit.
When I picked up the second handful of water, my peripheral vision suddenly noticed a black shadow rushing across the water. I was unprepared when I was relaxing. The sudden black shadow scared me out of my mind and I quickly backed away. It all spilled on the ground, his uncle's, and I quickly shouted to remind them, "There is something alive in the water!"
The fat man was on one side of my body. His sleeves were half rolled up and he was about to wash himself twice. He was also startled by the sudden change. Several flashlights shone in unison, and there was no reflection on the dark surface of the pool. Only the ripples I had just startled were left rippling slightly.
Several people waited nervously for a while, but the so-called black shadow did not appear again.
When they were trying the cup just now, they filled the water once and found nothing unusual, so they didn't take much precautions against the black pool. The fat man also asked whether I was being blinded.
Maybe you are really too tired? In situations of high tension, physical energy is consumed very quickly. In order to cope with danger, the brain can forcefully overextend physical energy, but when you want to relax, all the fatigue will be doubled. Hallucinations often occur at this time as well.
I asked the fat man when he last rested. After entering here, affected by the meteorite, all the timing tools have failed, and now I really feel a little confused in my head. Just now, the grass and trees were all in danger, which is a very bad signal. I just If you can roughly estimate a time, you need to check with Fatty.
The fat man said that he had rested once when he had just gotten rid of the roughness, but last time he only had some food and the resting place was on top of the statue. Counting now, it had been more than ten hours at least.
The fat man's words were like a lullaby. Before he finished speaking, he yawned and looked around. Avril's brows were furrowed and she was in low spirits. She was obviously holding on.
I nodded, it was time to take a rest.
I arranged to go down and rest in place for three hours. Three people took turns. Boss Sun was not included as a seriously injured person. The recovery status of Long Wu's arm was unknown. He was also injured, so he was also excluded.
Time was running out, and no one knew if Tang Jade in front of him had closed his eyes to take a rest, so two hours of quick adjustment time for each person was enough luxury.
The fat man asked: "Now the watch is just a decoration. The person on duty can't count, right? It's not easy to get stuck in one hour."
Long Wu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "You guys can rest in peace, I don't need it."
Long Wu didn't talk much, but every word he said was useful, and he never joked. Being alone for three hours was what he was ready to do. The scariest thing is that none of us have any objections. This comes from a kind of 100% trust. The sense of security brought by Long Wu's standing guard is no worse than that of the goalkeeper Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong!
too tired! I no longer had any energy to say even a single word of politeness. I leaned against the wall and almost closed my eyes. Endless exhaustion filled my body, and my eyelids were even heavier. Once I closed them, I could no longer lift my head. It was completely empty inside, with only two words to fall asleep.
Before I went to bed, I made a decision not to be woken up later. I would force myself to wake up in the middle of the night and sleep for a while.
I slept very deeply and was very tired. The plan before going to bed suddenly woke me up. I don’t know how long I slept, but it should not have been more than three hours. After all, Long Wu never woke us up.
The fat man was sleeping on the side. He was holding his rifle and snoring loudly. I thought maybe it was this "thunder" that urged me to wake up. Although the safety of the gun was closed, his index finger was always placed on the trigger. This was a high degree of professionalism. Once he was attacked by a sneak attack, he could fight back by opening his eyes halfway and opening the safety.
I stretched my body and glanced at it casually. Where Long Wu had been standing guard, there were only a few pieces of bloody gauze left, but the person was gone.
This discovery made me feel excited all over, and I suddenly woke up completely. Where did Long Wu, who was supposed to be standing guard, go? Why didn't you hear any movement?
Long Wu's skills are extremely exaggerated. I don't believe that anything can steal him away quietly.
I quickly looked around and saw a dark figure squatting on the bank of the pond, staring at the water alone, and I guessed that this figure was Long Wu.
Seeing Long Wu, my pounding heart finally calmed down a little, and I hurriedly approached him, only to find that his eyes looking at the pool were a little blurry.
I was about to speak when Long Wu suddenly made a silencing gesture, and his eyes became fierce.
He pulled me behind and whispered to me: "There is indeed something under the water!"
It turned out that after we fell asleep, Long Wu stayed at his post alone. His poisoned arm needed to be replaced with dressing. The so-called "medicine" was Qing Kui's tongue that was smashed to pieces. Although Qing Kui's tongue was long, it took several dressing changes. After coming down, there was not much left, but fortunately, this "medicine" really worked, and Long Wu's poisoned arm had improved significantly.
At this time, just looking at the palms, Long Wu's poisoned condition has returned to the way it was when we first saw him. He was also surprised. He didn't expect Qingkui's tongue to be so effective.
But the ulcerated skin on Long Wu's arms was still very scary. He had expected that if he wanted to completely eliminate the poison of the dragon-horned red tail moth, he would need to undergo the pain of rebirth. The pus and blood gushing from the ulcerated skin was so itchy that Long Wu had to clean it up. He went to the pool and carefully wiped the blood on the edge of the wound. However, this operation required special caution.
The technique must be just right, otherwise the water will aggravate the infection once it erodes the wound!
That is Long Wu. Who would dare to clean such a terrible wound by himself? But in the process of cleaning the wound, as soon as the pus and blood dripped into the dark pool, a black shadow suddenly stirred in the depths.
The dark pool water and the black shadow that was at least three meters long actually blended into one. The black shadow appeared when it moved, and disappeared again when it didn't move. Only the water bubbles rising from the deep bottom of the water were left, and the water bubbles turned into ripples in the pool. The water surface swayed into increasingly larger circular water circles.
Long Wu thought it was definitely a big fish. The vague shadow was in the shape of a long cone, with fins and a tail, but he couldn't tell exactly what kind of fish it was.
Long Wu was squatting here just now, waiting for the big fish's next move.
Long Wu's discovery confirmed that what I saw before was not an illusion. I was so excited that I thought that since this fish was so black and scary, it was hard to tell that it was lurking on the shore, but we couldn't see it.
At this time, canned beef became the only choice. When I opened a can, three or four pieces of beef as big as my thumb were thrown in.
The piece of meat fell into the water, making a thumping sound. The depth of this deep pool is absolutely unfathomable. We are sneaking under the surface of the earth and occupy a certain depth. Now that I think about it, the deep pool in front of me is more like a rural area. The shaft inside, both in shape and in terms of its shape, gives people an unfathomable feeling.
The depth that the flashlight could illuminate was very limited, estimated to be only more than one meter, and the piece of meat quickly disappeared before our eyes.
Just when I was about to continue throwing the pieces of meat, two huge black shadows suddenly appeared at the same time. They rushed towards the place where the pieces of meat fell, like fishing mines entering the water and rushing towards the prey crazily.
This time the two pairs of eyes could see more clearly. About three or four meters away, two black shadows, one large and one small, appeared. The smaller one was two or three meters long, and the largest one was at least as long. Four meters!
The diameter of the entire round pool is only more than five meters, and the huge black shadow almost runs through the entire black pool.
People have a natural fear of water, which does not mean that they are afraid of any water they see, but especially this kind of unowned water, it is not a swimming pool that anyone can enter by paying a ticket.
The root cause of deep water phobia is nothing more than the endless darkness. You can't see the bottom at a glance, and you don't know what kind of giant monsters are lurking in the water. But since it is determined that there are two huge strange fish underwater, they must be two evil man-eating fish.
Human instinct drove us back to a position far away from the shore. This time we made a lot of noise, which woke up several people. The fat man raised his gun and aimed at the water pool, his eyes straight, as if he was dreaming.
I turned to look at Long Wu. I didn’t know where he grabbed a handful of yellow sand. At the same time, he tore off the ulcerated skin on his arm, mixed the yellow sand with the smashed Qingkui meat sauce, and spread it evenly on his arm. above, and then a look of relief.
It was only later that I found out that he had been collecting loose sand when he was in the Corpse Formation of the Sand Soldiers, and had been hiding it on his body without being discovered by anyone. After all, all our attention at that time was on the Sand Soldiers who might break out of their shells at any time. , why would you care about this detail.
But the strangest thing is, why would he do this? Could it be that he had expected that a Qingkui would be caught by him?
