"Run!"

This was the only reaction in my mind at this time, and I finally realized that the school of fish that had just fled hastily was obviously not scared away by Qian Shan's extremely arrogant fart, but that something more terrifying was about to happen.

However, before my body could react, the suction force deep in the hole suddenly intensified. My body almost lost its balance in an instant, and was sucked into the depths of the hole with that force.

I suddenly felt darkness in front of my eyes, and my mind was spinning. The powerful force almost tore my body into pieces. In that state of being unable to control myself, I instinctively grabbed around randomly until I caught it in my hand.

I finally stopped that meaningless action after picking up something.

I don’t know where I was carried by that powerful suction force. I just felt that a long, long time passed. Even at the end, I felt that the oxygen had been exhausted. My body was still moving involuntarily. Finally, I don’t know what happened.

Due to the excessive rotation or the depletion of oxygen, I almost fell asleep and lost consciousness.

"Tick tock, tick tock!"

First, there was a sound of water drops falling into my ears, and then a cold feeling came from my cheeks. I slowly opened my eyes. I don’t know if it was because of the attack of the fish before or because I felt like I was falling into a whirlpool.

Pulling and pulling, the whole body seemed to fall apart.

I vaguely remember that I seemed to have grabbed something before I lost consciousness. When I looked at my hand, I saw a slender arm still tightly held in my hand. The owner of the arm was now

He just lay next to himself motionless.

"Jiu'er, wake up!"

I supported my body with almost all my strength, took off my diving equipment, came to Shen Jiuer, and shook Shen Jiuer's body. Although there was no reaction, I felt the body temperature of the tentacles.

Knowing that Shen Jiu'er's life was not in danger, he quickly removed the oxygen cylinder from behind Shen Jiu'er, laid Shen Jiu'er's body flat and pinched her vagina with his hands.

"Ugh!"

After a moment, a slight moan came from Shen Jiuer's mouth, and his body moved slowly.

"Jiu'er, wake up quickly, Jiu'er!"

Seeing that Shen Jiu'er finally reacted, I couldn't help but feel light in my heart. Although the previous physical signs had proved that Shen Jiu'er's life was not in danger, I also experienced the same process just now. As long as the head touches anything hard, there will be

May cause great harm.

Shen Jiuer finally distinguished my face with difficulty, and at the same time, she slowly sat up with my help. Perhaps it was the bursts of pain coming from her body that made her frown again: "Qi, Qi brother, we

Where is this?"

After hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I looked around and saw that I was deep in a dark cave. Except for the bursts of fluorescence emitted from the surrounding walls, which allowed me to roughly distinguish the area, there was no trace of anything.

Guangming: "I don't know where this is. How are you? Do you feel hurt there?"

"I'm fine. Help me up. Go and see where the Three Monkeys and Ma Jun are?" Shen Jiuer checked his body, except that

Apart from the swelling and pain caused by the previous attack by the fish, and the impact caused by being sucked by the powerful water flow, there were no serious injuries such as fractures.

"Brother Qi, help me see if there are any branches or anything like that here? Let me see if I can get a torch," Shen Jiuer asked me.

Hearing Shen Jiuer's words, I quickly searched around, and finally found a few branches as thick as arms in a corner. Although the branches were wet, they were still hard, and I immediately handed them to Shen Jiuer.

Shen Jiuer took out an oilcloth package from his arms, and followed the others to take out a few cloth strips and wrapped them around the branches. Then he magically took out a piece of flint, and with a crisp sound of the stone colliding, A bunch of sparks fell on the small strip of cloth on the branch, and suddenly, a bright flame rose up, and the original space also revealed its true appearance under the light of the fire.

"This should be an underground river formed by a natural cave!" Shen Jiuer stood up with my help, looked around and said to me.

"Um!"

I agree with Shen Jiuer's judgment. The place we are at is indeed somewhat similar to the cave landscape of Benxi Water Cave, but it is not exactly the same. There are not as many stalactites here as there are in Benxi Water Cave, only The surface of the cave wall formed a stalactite structure, but it emitted a faint light. A few meters away from the two of them was a river about four or five meters wide. The river was still flowing slowly at this time. , but calmly did not make a sound.

"Did we get washed up from here?"

Except for this river that was as calm as a bathtub filled with water at this time, I really can't think of how Shen Jiuer and I got here, but the calmness of this river was as calm as the previous one that almost tore his body apart. The powerful current made it impossible for him to think of one place at all.

"It should only be here. Let's hurry along the river to see if we can find them!" At this time, Shen Jiuer had already regained his previous calmness.

Although I don’t understand why the rushing water became so calm at this time, since the two of us were washed here, Qian Shan and Ma Jun should probably be here.

I took the torch from Shen Jiuer's hand, walked in front of Shen Jiuer, and walked slowly along the river towards the depths of the cave.

"Jiu'er, look quickly!"

Just after the two of them walked a few meters away, something caught my attention with the help of the light from the torch.

Looking in the direction pointed by my finger, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Jiuer's face. About less than ten meters in front of her, an extremely smooth corridor appeared. Although the corridor was not It's not wide, but the surface is relatively smooth, not as uneven as where we are at this time, and it meanders along the direction of the underground river.

I came to the front of the corridor, leaned down, and gently touched the obviously much smoother ground with my hands. I was almost certain that this corridor was definitely not formed naturally, but instead seemed to be dug out manually: "Here It should have been artificially repaired. Is this the place we want to go to?"

Shen Jiuer's pale face finally showed a hint of joy, and then

However, before the joy could bloom, Shen Jiuer's face turned extremely pale again, and her delicate fingers pointed tremblingly forward.

Looking along the direction of Jiu'er's finger, not far in front of us, a row of mummy-like corpses were fixed on the rock wall on one side of the river with several slender iron sticks.

It is said to be a mummy, but it is different from real mummies and the mummies we found in Pingtang Village before. In addition to the cloth-like clothing on the body, the skin and flesh are full of elasticity, which feels like bacon. Generally, the distance between each body is similar, starting from where we see it and extending into the darkness.

I couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Under the light of the torch, more than ten corpses appeared in our sight. At the same time, more than ten vague figures appeared in the darkness in the distance.

The shape of every corpse here is extremely distorted, and the poses are also different. Some have their shoulders nailed with tags, some have their chests nailed with tags, and some have their thighs and arms nailed with iron sticks. Each body reveals an indescribable misery and horror.

Judging from the traces left around them, it was very unlikely that they were nailed here alive with iron sticks, and they finally died after enduring a painful struggle for an unknown amount of time.

Judging from their remaining clothing, these people were probably the laborers who built the corridor under our feet. But if they were silenced just to keep the secret here, there was no need to go to such trouble.

From my point of view, this seems to be more than just a punishment for dealing with people. Judging from the distance between them and the shape they present, it is more like performing some kind of sacrifice.

Looking at this row of corpses, I felt my heart suddenly twitch. Although the whole scene was different from the seven-star corpse refining array we found in Pingtang Village, both the number of corpses and the degree of misery were definitely different. Nothing less than that.

Although these corpses seemed to have been at least hundreds of years old, they did not turn into withered bones. A smell of decay permeated the surroundings. I held my breath, tried my best to suppress the rising feeling in my chest, and examined them carefully. We hoped to find ghost marks on these corpses similar to those found on the mummies in Pingtang Village, but we found nothing after searching several corpses.

Just when I was about to give up, something on the iron sign caught my full attention. Before, when I looked at it from a distance, all I saw was the side of the iron sign, and I didn't notice the cross section at the end of the handle. Now at a close distance Observe, it is something like a ghost talisman, carved on the cross-section at the end of the iron sign in the form of inscriptions.

One, two, three, four..., I walked forward for dozens of meters before turning back. I can’t remember how many iron tags I saw on the corpses, but I am sure that , each iron pick has the same marking symbol on it. I don’t know what this symbol represents, but I will never naively think that these symbols represent the blacksmith shop that produced them, or the owner of these iron picks. , they must have some special meaning.
