Chapter 396 Underground Palace
In the stunned eyes of everyone, a black tentacle as thick as an arm poked out from the painted black water surface like lightning and rolled towards Chao Yongcun.
Chao Yongxun had already responded when he heard Ye Xiu's warning.
He kicked his legs with all his strength and stretched out his right hand to hold Ye Xiu's hand, but the tentacle was too fast. As soon as Chao Yongcun lifted his feet, the tentacle had wrapped around his waist. Then Chao Yongcun felt an irresistible force attacking and his whole body fell backwards.
He didn't even touch Ye Xiu's finger, and he was pulled into the painted black waters, and his whole body lost consciousness in an instant.
Ye Xiu took the empty hand and watched the most elite warrior of the Tiger Teeth Team be pulled into the water by the tentacles, and even the slightest waves were not splashed, and they disappeared.
He was a little stunned. They were fully prepared, and they were all vigilant. All preparations were done to the extreme. Why did such an accident still occur?
On the other side, Chu Tianhe and others also pulled the trigger to the water surface as soon as possible, but the bullet shot into the black water was like mud entering the sea, without any reaction, and even ripples did not rise.
Everything is so calm, as if nothing has happened.
But their closest comrades disappeared forever.
Everyone felt that their heart was empty. Except for Chu Tianhe, these people were all old people from the Huya Team. They and Chao Yongcun also experienced more than a year together.
Now I watched my comrades fall into the water, but I can't do anything. The helpless despair made everyone's heart feel like a heavy stone was pressing down on it, and it was so uncomfortable.
"Get back!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath, and even though he felt extremely uncomfortable, he still made arrangements as soon as possible.
The monsters in this water are obviously not ordinary water monsters. They were the first to come over, and they did not move. Others came over in turn, but they did not move. They did not launch an attack until Chao Yongcun had already arrived ashore. What does this mean? It means that the water monster is very smart. It chose the most appropriate time to take action.
At this time, even if this road is still there, how dare they continue to walk back? That guy wants to catch everyone in one place.
The dead are gone, and Ye Xiu cannot save Chao Yongcun's life. The only thing he can do is to do his best to protect the remaining people.
Professor Hu and others were so scared that they retreated back when the tentacles were poked out. After all, Chu Tianhe and others were elites of Tiger Teeth. Even if they were sad, they all retreated back when they knew that the bullets were ineffective against the water monster.
However, everyone's face was filled with heavy weight, mourning not only for Chao Yongcun, but also for Zhang Qiang, who was probably dragged in by the water monster.
It was just an archaeology. When the tiger teeth were dispatched, the two people had been damaged before they could see the coffin. This was definitely a huge blow to morale. What was hanging in Ye Xiu's mind now was not how to find what Professor Su might need in the ancient tomb, but how to take the rest out smoothly.
This road is obviously impossible to walk. Not to mention whether they can find a new way out in the passage outside, just to say that the unknown monster in the water is a huge threat.
Facing the lightning-fast tentacles, even if he walked on the water himself, he was not sure to avoid it, let alone others.
Once dragged underwater, it is death!
"How many lighting sticks are there!" After glanced at the empty space in front of him, Ye Xiu suppressed the heavy weight in his heart and asked Long Zimu.
"Each of us carries ten, and now there are still one hundred!" Before we came in, Ye Xiu, as the number one master, did not wear a backpack, nor did the three old professors. Only twelve people carried backpacks, but now two of them have fallen into the water, and only ten people are left.
Long Zimu said in a deep voice.
"Leave twenty spares, ignite all the others, illuminate the surroundings, and then try your best to find the exit!" Ye Xiu ordered.
The lighting rods they equipped are made of a special material, each of which can burn for more than half an hour, and the lighting brightness is equivalent to a one million incandescent lamp.
The space here is too large. If you don’t separate and look for the exit, you don’t know when you will find it. But once you separate and lack of light, it is extremely dangerous. For safety reasons, he decided to illuminate the place completely!
"Okay!" No one else had any objections and started to take action.
In addition to leaving one, Wang Zhong, everyone else was handed over to members of the Tiger Teeth Team.
Everyone began to lit the lighting sticks as Ye Xiu ordered, and put one on each ten meters. After a while, eighty lighting sticks finally illuminated the entire underground space.
It was not until this moment that everyone could see the entire picture of this underground space.
This turned out to be a huge underground square.
The entire square is surrounded by black waters, and the whole is a hexagonal shape. Each corner has a row of stone piers, just like the stone piers they came in.
From the layout point of view, there are six gates to enter this space.
Just looking at the almost identical stone piers arranged, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Even if there are doors in other places, they still have to pass the stone pier. What will the monster hidden in the water react?
Once the monsters attacked halfway through, even Ye Xiu was not sure to rush over, let alone the others?
When everyone thought that he and others might have been completely trapped here, there was a sense of despair in their eyes.
Ye Xiu did not give up, and there was no word "giving up" in his dictionary.
He looked up and looked directly in front of the square, where there was a step, and a palace was built on the steps.
The back of the palace is connected to the mountain.
Perhaps, there are other passages in the palace.
After a week of inspection, after confirming that there were indeed no other passages, Ye Xiu asked everyone to collect the lighting sticks and walk towards the palace together.
In front of the palace, there are not a flat mountain, but many black animal statues stand, which seem to be chaotic in the square, including tigers, rhinos, elephants, leopards, flying eagles, and many animals that everyone has never seen before.
For example, an unknown creature with three heads, with six legs, looks like a horse, and is covered with scales.
Every statue is lifelike, as if it can come alive at any time.
