Chapter 50: The water is so cold

In the dark and damp tomb passage, the white-haired fox jumped up and rushed straight to the three of them and bit them.

Hu Shanshan subconsciously raised her arm to block it, but was pulled behind by Zhang Shuishu, which meant to sacrifice herself to protect her.

In contrast, Hu Che became much more despicable. He actually hid behind his body and tried to push Hu Shanshan forward...

But it was just a flash of lightning between Sumeru. When the monster fox really blew over, that is, the difference between who died first and who died later was completely meaningless.

And just as everyone was panicked and desperate, a light blue light flashed, and an incredible scene happened.

When the three people saw that the fierce white-haired fox with a fierce face was about to touch them, a faint blue light suddenly passed by. The white-haired fox actually stopped above his head, as if he had been pinched on his neck, and he was whining and kicking around with all his legs.

What's going on?

Just Zhang Shuishu saw that it was a phantom woman wearing an ancient skirt and clothes that was showing off, and at the most critical moment, she grabbed the monster fox's neck. But the woman in the ancient skirt seemed to be unable to balance the other party for long, and turned her face gently and quietly, frowned slightly in front of Zhang Shuishu.

Hu Shanshan and Hu Che couldn't see her. In their eyes, this big, white and light fox skin was hanging in the air like a kite, and the scene was very strange.

But Zhang Shuishu seemed to understand the slightly frowning expression of the woman in the ancient skirt, and said thank you aimlessly, pulled Hu Shanshan and ran down.

"Run quickly, she won't last long."

"Ah? What?"

Before Hu Shanshan could ask again, Zhang Shuishu had already slipped his feet and was lying on the stone steps on his back and slid down. Hu Shanshan's face changed. She wanted to reach out to catch up but it was too late, so she could only chase Zhang Shuishu and run down with ease.

The three of them rolled and crawled, and came to the bottom of the ramp in chaos on the wet stone steps. At this time, Zhang Shuaishuai's pants had been worn out, and fortunately there was a backpack behind her, so she did not hurt her head. Hu Shanshan and Hu Che, who were chasing all the way, were also exhausted and gasping for breath, lowered their arms and knees, panting into a bellows.

Hu Che, who was panting, looked back and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and asked, "What happened to that monster just now? It's so terrifying!"

"It must have been a sudden cramp?" Hu Shanshan stroked her chest with glee, gasping for breath and swallowing her throat: "Look at how it looked just now, doesn't it look like cramps and spasms?"

"I have only heard of cramps suddenly when swimming in the water, but I have never heard of cramps and spasms in the air. This is not scientific!"

Hu Shanshan rolled her eyes at Hu Che: "Talking about science in front of a demon fox that has been suppressed by a bronze sword for tens of thousands of years but has not died? Are you serious?"

Hu Che grabbed his neck and thought about it, it seemed like he was!

But it is really so coincidental that the fox became sick when he was too excited? Why is this so unbelievable?

Only Zhang Shuishu knows the inside story, but this matter is troublesome, not to mention that he has never talked about the woman in the ancient skirt, but Hu Shanshan doesn't believe it. However, only he can see her, it may be related to his crushing of the amber.

Zhang Shuishu stood up with his broken buttocks, and looked worriedly at the top of the ramp stairs. It was black and there was nothing. But in front of him, there was an open underground cave with flat and smooth feet, and holes on the top of his head were as riddled with holes as dead wood.

"This should be a gathering place for natural cave water flow. Although this is the case now, it will be flooded in the rainy season."

After Zhang Shuishu said that, he looked around and saw no trace of his second uncle and others. "I don't know how your uncle and the others are now!"

But Hu Che suddenly discovered a pool of blood on the ground. Because the stones are very dark in color, it is difficult to find them.

Fortunately, Hu Che is a policeman and has a natural sensitivity to this kind of thing.

"Is this the second uncle and the others left behind?"

Hu Shanshan looked around and was panicked. Zhang Shuishu comforted her and said, "There are only bloodstains, and it should have escaped. We can search around and we can definitely find it. Moreover, this place is not safe, and the demon fox may be killed back at any time."

Hu Che looked at the ramp with grudge, and was very secretive.

"Since the four-eyed Zhang said, it's true! Boss Hu has a good reputation. He must have escaped to a safe place and is waiting for us to find him for a round."

After saying that, both men looked at Hu Shanshan in unison, waiting for her final choice.

I don’t know why, but in a subtle way, Hu Shanshan became the highest choicer of this team.

"Well! Then let's look for it! If you really see the dark river, just follow the dark river, and the second uncle and the others will definitely go in that direction."

Hu Che nodded with his chin: "That's right, after all, the map says that the final gathering place of the underground river is Phoenix Tomb."

...

The three of them counted their equipment and looked for the sound of water flowing. Finally, behind a narrow rock gap, they saw the legendary underground undercurrent.

The underground river is actually an underground cave formed by erosion of water. Because there is no river embankment, you must go down the water if you want to go down the river.

Fortunately, the rainy season is not yet here, and the water level is very shallow. You can see traces of water rust on the rock walls, all of which are left by water levels in different seasons. If it is rainy season, the water current will flood the entire cave, and only submarines can come in at that time.

Hu Shanshan looked at the gurgling undercurrent river water, reached out and realized that the coldness was biting, and immediately shrank.

She tried to shout Uncle Er's name, but there were only endless echoes in the empty cave, which seemed dull and desolate.

At this moment, Zhang Shuishu suddenly made a booing gesture: "Listen, is there any sound?"

Because of the interference of the sound of water flow, they did not hear clearly at first. But after carefully distinguishing, they still found clues.

"It seems to be there..."

Hu Che ran over first, and then he reached out to touch the water and actually picked up a walkie-talkie with red light.

The squeaking sound they heard just now was made by the walkie-talkie.

"Wow, what brand is this? It's actually waterproof?"

Hu Che said that, handing the intercom to Hu Shanshan and asked, "Let's see if it's your second uncle and the others?"

Hu Shanshan frowned and shook her head: "I don't know very well! I didn't pay much attention when they used it before."

After saying that, he pinched the intercom and shouted a few times, then changed to different frequencies and tried, but no one responded.

"That's strange. If there is no one, why does the intercom ring in the water itself?"

Zhang Shuaishuai narrowed his eyes slightly and pushed the glasses on his nose. "The intercom will only ring if there are equipment with the same frequency within a limited distance. In other words, someone might have echoed within the effective distance, but now that person has exceeded this distance."

"Is this a coincidence?" Hu Shanshan looked nervously at the side of the river, "It must be my second uncle. They should have just walked a short distance, so we will definitely be able to catch up."

Zhang Shuishu took the walkie-talkie and looked at it, shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily!"

"The effective distance of the walkie-talkie is 500 meters, but this one... is a bit high-end and should be able to receive a straight-line distance of 800 meters."

Eight hundred meters! In the dark underground, this distance is very difficult.

But Hu Shanshan knew that the more this happened, the more we should chase it, otherwise the greater the distance, the less likely we would be to contact.

"I can't care about that much. If my second uncle really goes down the river, we can only chase him, otherwise there is no other way."

After saying that, Hu Shanshan took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and closed her backpack on her shoulders. She breathed a sigh of resoluteness and indifferently, then took her shoes and jumped off the river...

But as soon as he jumped down, Hu Shanshan was stunned for a few seconds before climbing to the shore in panic.

"I'll go~! Is this water poured out of the refrigerator? Why is it so cold?"

Hu Shanshan sat on the river bank and rubbed her feet constantly, and her teeth began to tremble.

Zhang Shuishu was so distressed that he squatted over, picked up Hu Shanshan's cold feet and put them in his arms.

"Da Shanshan, is this better?"

Hu Che, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it, coughed lightly, and said, "It's not a good thing to be afraid of the cold. We don't have water coats or rubber rafts. This section of the river must swim over and face it eventually, otherwise we can only return to fight the vixen to fight a tough battle."

Hu Shanshan was a little moved. She wanted to catch up with her second uncle and rescue her boyfriend. With such a heavy burden on her body, how could she be frustrated because of this little setback?

Thinking of this, Hu Shanshan suddenly pulled her feet out of Shuaishuai's arms and kicked him. She took a deep breath again with determination and coldness, and jumped down the river.

Seeing that he couldn't help the goddess, Zhang Shuaishuai was so brave that the hero was killed. He lifted the backpack strap on his shoulder and jumped down.

Seeing that they all jumped down, they were all facing their backs to themselves and still moving, Hu Che suddenly felt a little afraid.

"You... are you okay?"

Hu Shanshan took a forced deep breath and raised her feet to play in the water: "It's okay, I didn't feel that it was too cold when I got down again. It was very comfortable, just like the water on the wading waterfall in Jiuxigou Scenic Area..."

Hu Che took off his shoes and went into the water half-doubtedly, but he had just gone down and could no longer bear it in less than five seconds. He turned around in a hurry.

How could Hu Shanshan and Zhang Shuaishuai let him climb up? Each of them grabbed him with one arm:

"Officer Hu, where are you going? There are monsters and foxes on the way back."

"I would rather fight with the fox, too..."

Before he finished speaking, Shuaishuai and Shanshan were dragging forward, and there were yelling and scolding in the cave.

But as Hu Shanshan said, as he walked, the biting coldness that was irritating to the marrow would ease a little. It might be because of the numbness of the cold, but it was not so obvious anyway.

The three of them walked very slowly, and occasionally splashed water hitting their faces, which would make you shiver.

The bottom of the underground river is flat and smooth, so everyone is careful when walking, walking on thin ice, and there is no need to worry about pits and undercurrents.

But since the bottom is grooved, everyone will be unable to help but walk in the middle of the river as they walk. At this time, a small bend was turning, and Hu Shanshan was using random thoughts to relieve the torment brought to herself by the cold. Suddenly, the light in front of her was chaotic, and Zhang Shuishu suddenly staggered into the river.

Zhang Shuishu suddenly let out a sound, then fluttered and panicked. The flashlight in his palm fell into the river and was swept away by the gurgling water.

Hu Shanshan and Hu Che hurriedly pulled him up.

Hu Shanshan thought he had slipped under his feet and fell down, but when he helped him up, he saw Zhang Shuaishuai spit out the water from his mouth and shouted: "Ghost..."

Hu Che and Hu Shanshan thought it was a monster fox chasing him again, and subconsciously turned around.

But Zhang Shuaishuai kept shaking them: "Didn't you see it? It's really a ghost... a hanged ghost..."

Hu Shanshan was shocked by his shock and blinked her eyes and asked, "Shuai Shuai, are you hallucinating from the cold? Where is there..."

However, just as Hu Shanshan shook the flashlight and looked forward, she was in a bad mood!

When the light of the flashlight is focused together, the three people know the mystery and spectacle of this place, and the gloomy and evil of the so-called Phoenix Mausoleum. This is a world beyond their cognition and experience, and a world of sin that will never be imagined in the infancy of modern civilization.
