In less than half a minute, the entire circle of pottery vessels was already densely covered with green eyes, staring at us uninvited guests like ghosts.
"What are they? Are they ghosts?" Xiang Yu's changed voice came from the intercom, raising the already tense atmosphere to its peak.
When I saw this scene, the first thing I thought of was ghostly human bones, because in the ancient tower, these things also suddenly emerged from the tower wall.
To be honest, I hope they are human skeleton ghosts, because at least those things can't hurt people.
But it turned out that I was too naive. I only heard Lao Li shouting: "Brother Zhou," and then a green snake appeared in my sight. It targeted me and used a
He rushed towards me at an extremely fast speed.
The green snake is several times larger than ordinary snakes, but not as thick as a python. It is green all over, a rare dark blue color, and glows faintly in the dark brown lake water. It
The green seems to come from the bones, and even the words spit out are that color.
Seeing the gap between the green snake and me shrinking with its wide-open mouth, I actually forgot how to dodge, and instead thought in my heart that "I am definitely going to die now."
At this critical moment, Lao Li seemed to be traveling at the speed of light. In an instant, he was in front of me. He pulled me with his hand, causing my whole body to sink, and my head escaped the green snake.
attack.
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous," I was so frightened that I panted. If Lao Li had been slower for a second, my neck would have become the target of the green snake.
Until this time, each of us had several green snakes entangled around us. Fortunately, we were in the water, and we were much more agile than on the ground, so we could dodge left, right, up and down.
I don’t know whether the green snakes have been in the water for a long time, so their movements are slow, or whether they deliberately want to let us go. Anyway, after these few rounds, the green snakes basically did not leave fatal wounds on our bodies, but they did not
He was planning to let us go, he was just circling around with us, and it felt like he wanted to trap us in this hole.
We have already taken out the short sabers we were carrying, but in this situation, the short sabers are of little use and can only be a psychological comfort.
"Could this green snake be the spiritual beast guarding the altar? When I was dealing with them, I felt that they didn't necessarily want to kill us, they just wanted to drive us away," Zhang Jisheng said.
"No, it's the sound of the flute. Listen, the sound of the flute stopped, and these things didn't attack us. It feels like the sound of the flute is directing them." Andrew said.
After listening to what he said, I also noticed that the sound of the flute stopped at some point, and the group of green snakes immediately stopped attacking us, but they didn't seem to be planning to let us go yet.
"If it is really the sound of the flute, then if the source of the flute sound is found and the flute is stopped playing, will the green snake be like an ordinary school of fish, living in harmony with us under the water?
It’s not aggressive anymore.” This was Xiangyu’s voice.
"We can't think too much for the moment. Let's leave here first. Before they attack us, this is a rare opportunity. We must seize it." Lao Li said and floated up.
When several of us saw this, we all followed suit.
Who knew, less than ten meters up the stairs, we heard Lao Li's painful voice: "Don't come up, there are all aquatic plants up here."
A few of us were stunned for a moment, hurriedly put away our flippers and floated on the spot.
"Why did aquatic plants suddenly appear? Lao Li, how are you, are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
"Hurry up and find another way out. I was entangled in water plants. It turns out that the green snake stopped attacking us because a net was cast over the hole, waiting for us to cast it." Lao Li should be saying.
He was injured, and his voice was no longer as strong as before.
"You guys should look here first to see if there is any other way out. I will go up to rescue Lao Li." I said and floated up.
My words reached everyone's ears through the walkie-talkie, including Lao Li. He only heard Lao Li shouting anxiously: "Brother Zhou, please leave me alone. Before the green snake attacks us, hurry up and lead us."
Let everyone leave. I can handle it by myself."
"No, we are on the same team, how can we leave you alone in times of danger?" I ignored Lao Li and went straight up.
There was no accident. After I got through several layers of water plants by luck, I also got entangled in it.
"Brother Zhou," Lao Li's voice had completely changed. After he called me, he coughed violently. After the coughing stopped, he seemed to have used up the last bit of strength in his body to speak, "What are you doing today?"
I, Li Zhuochen, will always be grateful for this loyalty for the rest of my life, but now, you have to save yourself first."
By the light of the hernia lamp above my head, I saw Lao Li standing in the water in a very weird posture deep in the dense aquatic plants, and his body was entangled in the aquatic plants and turned into a mummy.
"Lao Li, hold on, wait for me to pass." I shouted loudly.
However, the intercom was quiet and there was no response. Through the dense water plants, I seemed to see the soul of Lao Li that was about to collapse.
The water plants in this lake seemed to have legs, constantly crawling on my body. The speed at which I cut them off with my short knife was far slower than the speed at which they were afraid of climbing up my body.
Why does this waterweed look so familiar? The soft and sticky feel wrapped around my body makes the rainbow river moss in the ancient temple emerge in the depths of my memory.
If it is really this kind of aquatic plant, then we are no match for the rainbow river moss. If the green snake also attacks later, then there will really be only a dead end.
There was a leak in the house and it rained all night, so the dull sound of the flute sounded at this time.
As you can imagine, the green snakes seemed to collectively shout "Get the order", and like the turbulent lake water, they rushed towards us entangled in the water plants.
"Xiangyu, be careful, there is one behind you."
Zhang Jisheng's voice came through the intercom, followed by Xiangyu's scream. It seemed that their situation was not good either.
"Let's get into the pottery for a while and wait until the green snake passes before we find a way out." This was Andrew's voice.
"Then what if Green Snake goes in too?" Zhang Jisheng asked rhetorically.
"I can't worry about so much now, I'm going to get in first anyway," Andrew said.
Xiangyu remained silent, wondering if he was in danger.
Just as I was about to call Xiangyu to make sure she was safe, a loud hissing sound suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, and then the signal was cut off, and I completely lost information about the three of them.
At this time, several of the leading green snakes had already gotten into the dense network of rainbow river moss. The strange thing was that their bodies seemed to be greased, and the rainbow river moss could not wrap around the snakes at all.
I had an idea, whether I could use the green snake to get rid of the entanglement of the rainbow river moss. But the green snake itself already regarded us as meat on the chopping block, so what kind of situation would it take to get them to serve me?
Suddenly, I thought of what Lao Li said to me when I went into the water for the first time. He asked me to bring the ruby astrolabe with me, saying that there were things under the water that might recognize their owner.
I wonder if the things Lao Li mentioned are these green snakes that look really pretty.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I struggled out one hand, and then took out the dark red stone piece on my body.
My memory replayed the sacrificial scene to me accurately, and I muttered to myself: Without the guidance of music, I don’t know whether the stone flakes would be effective.
I had no choice but to make a desperate move. I imitated the scene in my long dream, holding the ruby astrolabe in my hands and placing it on my chest. Amidst the rapid "dong dong" sound of my heart, the small dark red stone
The piece seemed to have really changed a little bit. It felt like the piece of stone suddenly came to life. It lay in the palm of my hand and suddenly became warm.
I was shocked. Could it be that it was my heart that gave it life?
Just when I was still in shock and didn't react, the green snakes that were sprinting towards me at a speed of 100 meters just stopped, and surrounded me, looking like they were invincible.
The state of understanding.
Obviously, the slightly rough dark red stone piece in my hand played a role.
I actually won the bet, I was secretly happy in my heart.
The rainbow river moss wrapped around my body also unknowingly loosened, and I broke free easily.
Getting rid of the shackles of the rainbow river moss, I immediately swung my flippers and swam towards Lao Li.
Lao Li was close to a fainting state. He almost merged with the rainbow river moss, floating with the water waves.
During the short journey to Lao Li, I have learned that whether it is a green snake or a rainbow river moss, they are all afraid of this small dark red stone piece, and they are almost running for their lives.
Avoid the trajectory of the dark red stone pieces.
I borrowed the function of dark red stone pieces to free Lao Li from the rainbow river moss, and fixed him behind my back with a guide rope.
Although I was exhausted by this moment, I still turned around and dived down to find my missing teammates.
