Everyone looked at each other with a blank expression on their faces.
Huang Yixian asked blankly: "Boss Wen, what do you mean when you say that giant salamander showed us a way out?"
Wen Qingshan explained: "Salamfish generally live in clear and rapid mountain streams, and judging from its darker body color, it should be due to its long-term habitat in the wild. This means that this underground dark lake must be related to
The water system is connected to the outside world, so I was thinking that if we follow the direction of the water flow, we might be able to find a new exit."
As soon as everyone heard that it was possible to find an exit, everyone immediately became energetic. However, when they looked around, they were dumbfounded. In front of them was a large underground lake, and it was impossible to tell which direction the water was flowing.
Jianjian raised his head and sighed: "The exit connected to the external water system may be under the water. I have to find it sometime..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. I turned around and saw that he was carrying
His head, mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open, as if a body-holding spell had been cast on him.
I subconsciously looked up and was shocked speechless. I saw a large group of black bats on the top of the cave more than ten meters high.
Others also discovered the swarm of bats all over the cave roof, and they were all shocked. After a long while, Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "The bats will definitely fly out to look for food, so there must be other exits to this cave. We
Look for it quickly."
Looking at these bats, I suddenly thought of the Flying Bat Rock mentioned by Bai Xiaowu, and quickly asked: "Boss Wen, do you think this is the Flying Bat Rock?"
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled at first, then patted his head: "Why didn't I think of that! Yes, this must be Feibu Rock! It turns out that Feibu Rock and ** Rock are interconnected caves."
Knowing that it was most likely the Flying Bat Rock, everyone felt relieved. At least they didn't have to worry about being trapped and died in it. Huang Yixian said: "In that case, let's just explore the Flying Bat Rock."
Since the clothes on our bodies were all soaked, and there was water everywhere down there, we were afraid that water would inevitably flow, so we all simply took off our clothes and put on diving suits, and walked along the cave wall.
Go forward.
After walking not far, Wen Qingshan at the front suddenly stopped. He seemed to have discovered something. He bent down and looked at the ground carefully.
We curiously put our heads over it, and when we took a look, we couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw two rows of footprints on a dry stone. The footprints were almost as big as the soles of adult feet. The distance between the two rows of footprints was one and a half meters wide. There was a water stain in the middle. It looked like someone
left behind by a large animal.
"This...what kind of animal is this?"
Wen Qingshan said: "It looks like it was left by a giant salamander."
"What!?" Everyone shouted almost in unison. How big a giant salamander must be to leave such a big footprint.
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "The giant salamander has a ferocious temperament. It is also known as the pike among the people. Its teeth are sharp and dense. It often dives underwater to ambush its prey. Such a large individual may threaten us. So.
If you are walking through flowing water later, everyone must be more careful."
As soon as I heard this, I quickly and quietly took out the Fish Gut Sword from my backpack and held it tightly in my hands. Huang Yixian and Jianjian also each took out a sharp ax from their backpacks.
We continued to walk forward, and soon the land came to an end and we had to enter the water. Wen Qingshan said that there might be a giant salamander hidden under the water that would ambush people. Everyone was a little afraid and no one dared to go into the water easily. Okay.
The water in the lake was quite clear, and we could clearly see the situation at the bottom of the lake at a glance. We used the light from the miner's lamp to check carefully, but we didn't see any trace of the giant salamander, but there were a few giant salamanders two meters away from us.
A white fish about half a foot long was swimming around.
Seeing this, Wen Qingshan relaxed his frown and said, "It should be safe in front, let's go!" He stepped into the water first, and we all followed him closely, carefully getting into the water.
The water wasn't very deep, and it didn't reach our thighs, but everyone was very careful, for fear of something suddenly jumping out.
As we walked forward, the water became deeper and deeper, gradually reaching our waist and abdomen. We held on to the cave wall with one hand and walked slowly forward in the water.
As I was walking, Seabeard, who was walking in front of me, suddenly let out a loud scream. Before we could even react to what was going on, his body seemed to be pulled violently by something, and he instantly sank into the water.
Everyone was shocked. I quickly lowered my head and looked into the water. I was so frightened that I almost jumped out of the water. I saw an extremely huge giant salamander in the water with most of its body exposed from a hidden stone crevice under the water.
, was biting one of Seabeard's thighs with its huge mouth and dragging it away into the crevices of the rocks.
Seabeard struggled desperately, bubbles kept popping out of his mouth, obviously he was choked by the lake water.
After I reacted, regardless of my fear, I quickly pierced the giant salamander's head with the fish intestine sword in my hand.
The extremely sharp fish intestine sword pierced the upper jaw of the giant salamander in one stroke, but it did not let go. It still bit Seabeard's thigh and dragged it into the stone crevice.
Huang Yixian and Jianjian hurried forward, grabbed Seabeard's body and pulled him up hard, but they couldn't pull him out of the water. Instead, a lot of blood came out from his thigh that was bitten by the giant salamander, and in the blink of an eye he was pulled out.
The lake water turned red.
Seeing this, Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "The giant salamander's mouth is full of sharp teeth, don't drag him hard! You guys quickly help him put on the oxygen mask, and I will find a way to deal with the giant salamander!" After saying that, he immediately put it on.
Putting on the oxygen mask, he bent down and plunged into the water. Huang Yixian and Jianqian hurriedly helped Seabeard put on the oxygen mask to prevent him from suffocating due to choking in the water.
I didn't know what Wen Qingshan planned to do, but most of the body of the giant salamander had already penetrated into the cracks in the rocks. I couldn't stab it with the fish intestine sword anymore, so I quickly put on an oxygen mask and dived into the water.
Because Seabeard's leg bled a lot and the water was a little turbid, I vaguely saw the huge body of the giant salamander. Without thinking too much, I immediately stabbed it with the fish gut sword in my hand. The giant salamander trembled violently, but it didn't.
As if it had determined that Seabeard was its prey, it did not let go no matter what, but instead dragged Seabeard harder into the crevices of the rocks.
Just when I felt helpless, a dazzling fire suddenly flashed out of the water. Then the giant salamander struggled desperately for a few times, released its mouth, and quickly retreated into the crevices of the rocks. I looked up and saw Wen Qingshan's hand.
Li Zheng was holding the flare gun, and he suddenly understood that it was Wen Qingshan who used the flare gun to repel the giant salamander and save Seabeard's life.
Huang Yixian and Jianjian took the opportunity to pull Seabeard out of the water. Wen Qingshan and I also immediately got out of the water. We didn't care so much, and hurried forward while holding Seabeard.
As I walked, I looked back from time to time, for fear that the monster would try to kill me again.
Fortunately, we didn't go far and finally saw another piece of land. Everyone hurried to the shore and walked a few steps forward until they were far away from the lake.
Everyone collapsed on the ground, everyone in shock. Haibeard let out a burst of pain, Wen Qingshan stepped forward and tore his pants open. I looked at his thighs and saw
There were many wounds, and blood was flowing from each one, looking as if someone had been shot with a shotgun.
"Hurry and help him stop the bleeding!" Huang Yixian said, immediately opened his backpack and took out a large bag of white powder. Seeing this, Wen Qingshan asked in surprise: "Master Huang, where did you get such
A big bag of Yunnan Baiyao?”
Huang Yixian laughed and said: "Haha, where did I get so much Yunnan Baiyao? It's just glutinous rice flour, but it's very effective in stopping bleeding!" After saying that, he immediately grabbed a handful of glutinous rice flour and sprinkled it on Haibeard's thighs.
After a while, there was no more blood flowing out of the wound on Haibeard's leg. Wen Qingshan took out a bundle of gauze from his backpack and helped him bandage the wound briefly. Then he tried to stand up and move forward.
After walking for a while, everyone was relieved that although they were limping, they could still move around. Fortunately, although the giant salamander's teeth were sharp, they were not very long and did not cause any damage to the muscles and bones.
However, after the torment just now and the extreme tension, everyone was exhausted, so they decided to sit down and rest for a while before continuing to move forward.
Wen Qingshan returned the flare gun to Sea Beard and said: "Do you still have bullets? This thing is not bad. It can come in handy at critical moments! Don't lose it again." It turns out that Sea Beard was dragged in by a giant salamander just now.
While in the water, the signal gun fell from his hand and fell to the bottom of the water. Wen Qingshan dived into the water and found the signal gun, picked it up and fired a shot into the monster's mouth, which made it loosen its mouth.
Seabeard opened his backpack and took out a delicate iron box. When he opened the iron box, he saw what looked like an AA battery inside.
"This is the only bullet left!" He said as he took out the bullet and put it into the flare gun.
At this moment, Jianjian suddenly shouted loudly: "Look what that is!"
Everyone thought he had discovered another monster, and they were all very nervous. They turned their heads and looked in the direction he pointed, but they saw a long, transparent monster floating on the water not far from the shore.
The object looks like a transparent plastic film.
Out of curiosity, Wen Qingshan walked over, picked up the thing from the water, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and his expression changed greatly.
