Chapter 21 Chapter 21: Black Corpse Algae

Panicked, he kicked the head desperately, but it seemed like he was kicking cotton, and he couldn't get the substance. This feeling made him even more panicked. Could it be that there are really ghosts under this dark river? Suddenly a hand reached out, grabbed his shoulder firmly, and pressed a certain acupuncture point on his shoulder, half of his body went numb, and he stopped struggling.Long Chuxia supported him with one hand, grabbed the head with the other, tore it off forcefully, and held it in front of him.Only at this time did he see clearly that it was not a head at all, but just a group of algae that looked like hair.

Zhu Yikai's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his neck felt cool. Diving is the most taboo to panic, especially when diving in such a dark river. The underwater mental pressure is too great. Once he collapses, not only his own life is in danger, but also easily Those who travel with them also lead into dangerous situations. The two continued to dive forward carefully, and there were more black algae around them, and they had to be carefully avoided to avoid being entangled by them.The more Zhu Yikai looked at it, the more frightened he became. He always felt that these algae were too weird. He had never seen them before, and they looked more like women's long hair.He suddenly thought, those skeletons that had turned into human flesh had no hair, so where did their hair go?Will it break away from the body and stay in the dark river, floating like algae?

Goosebumps popped up all over his body, he tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and followed Long Chuxia step by step, every string in his body was tense.I don’t know how long I’ve been going forward, the waterway is getting narrower and narrower, and the algae are sticking to the cave wall, and I accidentally swept it on my body, itching and numb like a woman’s hand gently stroking, Zhu Yikai has a cleanliness habit, although recently It got better, but I couldn't help the urge to vomit. At this moment, Long Chuxia in front stopped. Zhu Yikai was startled, and saw Long Chuxia make a few gestures to him, and when he straightened up, his whole body was firmly attached to the cave wall.Zhu Yikai didn't dare to be negligent, so he did it quickly, and there happened to be two balls of algae on his chest, and he secretly groaned.

Suddenly the water moved, and something swam over. Zhu Yikai couldn't help turning his head to look at it. The thing was long and big, like a prehistoric python, but it had no scales. It was snow-white all over its body. There was a faint phosphorescence in the river.He couldn't see its head clearly, but only saw a pair of eyes the size of copper bells, dead white with no kernels.This is a dark river, where the sun is not seen all year round, and most of the creatures living here are blind.He was secretly thankful, no wonder Teacher Long let him stick to the cave wall, as long as they didn't make a sound or move, it would be hard for him to find them.

Under this dark river, is there really a dragon?It turned out that these folklore that he scorned on weekdays were not groundless. The giant python swam past, causing quite a wave of water, and the surrounding algae began to swim around like a frightened school of fish.Zhu Yikai couldn't help crying, a few balls of algae rushed over and stuck to his body, the hair-like algae rippling with the water waves, as if thousands of hands were touching his body.He thought of a hairless man again, his body stiffened, his stomach rolled endlessly, his throat felt hot, and vomit rushed out of his mouth.

A stone set off a thousand waves, and the vomit was washed away by the waves and scattered.The giant python seemed to smell the smell, stopped swimming, bent in the water like a rope, and turned back.Zhu Yikai groaned secretly in his heart, Long Chuxia couldn't care less, grabbed his arm, dragged him and swam forward. Zhu Yikai didn't dare to look behind him, but swam desperately with Long Chuxia, exerting the strength he had accumulated for twenty years, but how could their physical strength and speed compare with the giant python that lived in the water all year round, Zhu Yikai only felt A huge wave surged from behind, almost overturning him, his waist loosened, and the rope was actually bitten by the giant python, and now there is no way to avoid it, no way to escape.

After all, Zhu Yikai went through the wind and waves, made a decisive decision, turned over, not only did not escape, but swam towards the giant python instead. The light on his forehead was turned on, and he finally saw its face clearly.Its body shape looks like a snake, but its face looks a bit like a crocodile. Its long and big mouth is open like a crocodile, and its upper and lower jaws are covered with densely packed sharp teeth.The sharp teeth were white and bright, with the same white phosphorescence as its skin, and he had no doubt that if this bite came over, it could swallow him directly.

Under this dark river, talisman papers cannot be used, and stun guns cannot be used, and brute force is even more unreliable. There is only one last way. Long Chuxia seemed to think about what Zhu Yikai was going to do, his face suddenly changed, and he rushed over to give him a hard buckle on the back.Zhu Yikai felt that all the strength in his body had been taken away, and he couldn't even struggle, and limply rushed backwards along the waves.The giant python has already come up to him, opened its mouth wide, aimed at him and bit down.Long Chuxia had quick hands and eyes, pulled Zhu Yikai back, and threw a ball of light out of his hand.Zhu Yikai was shocked, he read it right, it was fire, it was a burning talisman!

What talisman paper does not smudge underwater?What fire can burn underwater? Just as the flame entered the mouth of the giant python, Long Chuxia turned over in the air and swam back quickly, but when the giant python's long upper and lower jaws closed, it still bit her ankle, causing her almost pain. syncope.It was as if something exploded in Zhu Yikai's head, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his forehead, and he turned around desperately to save him.Perhaps it was the talisman that played a role. The giant python opened its mouth and let out a mournful cry. It was precisely because of the opening that the sharp teeth were pulled out from Long Chuxia's legs. Pain, hands scrambling, desperately swimming forward.Zhu Yikai stretched out his arms to hug her waist, and saw that the giant python seemed to be in extreme pain, rolling over and over, and there was a mournful cry in its mouth. For a moment, a huge wave surged, the cave wall was shaken and some stones fell.

Don't stay here for long! Holding Long Chuxia in his arms, Zhu Yikai kicked on the water with both feet and swam deep into the dark river with all his strength. The blood overflowing from Long Chuxia's feet left a long red ribbon in the water, rippling endlessly with the water. Incomparably gorgeous, the black algae floating aimlessly seemed to have a slight movement. Escaping for life is physical work, especially escaping underwater. It is physical work in physical work. Finally, Zhu Yikai couldn't swim anymore. He couldn't help but slow down and looked back. Fortunately, the giant python didn't seem to be chasing him.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Long Chuxia's feet were still bleeding, he began to feel anxious again. Long Chuxia shook his head at him, signaling that he was fine, and he had better find an exit as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Long Chuxia's eyes straightened, staring fixedly at the back of him, his back felt cold, he turned his head slowly at a speed almost in slow motion, and then saw a pair of eyes. That's right, a pair of eyes. It was a group of hair-like algae, and there was a pair of eyes in the algae, as sharp as a wolf's eyes, flashing a cold blue light, which was particularly terrifying in this dark river like hell. At this time, they realized that countless black algae gathered towards them, and each group had a pair of faint blue eyes, like a pack of wolves living in a dark river. How is this going?Why do algae have eyes? Zhu Yikai recalled his hypothesis again. Could it be that he guessed correctly that these algae are human wax hair, and their souls are imprisoned in the hair, living in the river, and devouring anyone they choose? No, these algae didn't have eyes before.He looked at Long Chuxia, and Long Chuxia pointed to his injured leg. He knew immediately that the smell of blood must have awakened these monsters. They are surrounded and in danger. After living for twenty years, Zhu Yikai has never felt as uncomfortable as today. These hair-like algae rushed over, and the surroundings turned into a surging black, with twinkling eyes as many as stars. He imagined those people who waxed their hair and The scene where the scalp is separated, the belly is churning, like a big fish is constantly thumping. Long Chuxia was thinking about how to repel the algae that surrounded him, when he suddenly saw Zhu Yikai covering his mouth in pain, vomiting a big mouthful of dirt, his facial features were almost squeezed together.He finally couldn't hold it anymore, he felt every meridian in his body was pulsating, every blood vessel was boiling, and he didn't care about adjusting his figure in the water, kicking his feet in the water.Long Chuxia's complexion changed suddenly. He knew something was wrong, and it was too late to stop it. The surrounding caves began to tremble, the stones on top of his head fell frequently, and the surrounding waves were dark.Those black algae also seemed to sense the ominous omen, and retreated one after another.Zhu Yikai was still struggling, the vibration in the cave became more violent, Long Chuxia's back felt cold, if this continued, they would all be buried alive in this dark river, she repeated her old trick, swam over to pinch the acupuncture points on Zhu Yikai's back.At the moment when the acupuncture point was pressed suddenly, the cave wall under their feet collapsed, leaving a big opening, and the water rolled up everything that could be rolled up, rushing towards the opening, the two of them felt as if their feet were wrapped with iron chains , A strong force pulled them down crazily.The vortex was so powerful that the two fell into it before they had time to struggle, and fell into endless darkness with the current. The time that followed was either long or short, but they fell into a coma, and then woke up suddenly, and the two of them were already lying on the shore.Although I went ashore, I didn't leave the cave, but entered a larger cave. This area is a karst landform, and there are caves everywhere, surrounded by dense stalactites.Long Chuxia took out a flashlight from her waterproof backpack and looked around. The stalactites are very beautiful. If it wasn't for the strange encounter just now, she would be in the mood to play. Zhu Yikai also woke up. Long Chuxia couldn't help but punched him hard on the head. This kid is very talented. His power of thought can cause the earth to shake, but he can't advance and retreat. If he is not careful, the mountain will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable. However, he doesn't have many weaknesses, but he has a cleanliness habit. Under the influence of the two, it will be a tragedy. Knowing that he was wrong, Zhu Yikai received the punch respectfully, and then asked Long Chuxia for advice on the magic talisman against the giant python.Long Chuxia gave him a blank look, and said to him, "Isn't it better to wrap it in a plastic bag so that the water won't get in?" He was immediately ashamed. Teacher Long is Teacher Long, and he can always find a new way to save the day. The two checked the equipment, everything in the backpack was there, and the oxygen tank was broken, so naturally it couldn't be used anymore.The two changed their diving suits, and found medicine to bandage Long Chuxia's injured leg. Fortunately, no bones were injured. Zhu Yikai supported her, and the two limped into the cave, looking for a way out. There are many karst caves in city C that have been developed for tourism. Both of them have been there before. They know that these caves look beautiful, but they are actually dangerous. Hidden ponds can be seen everywhere, and if one accidentally falls, one will surely die. Fortunately, Long Chuxia was well prepared. The first priority was to find the missing Sima Fanti. The two of them were not worried that he would be eaten by a giant python. The silver bracelet on his right hand was a seal. Once broke the bracelet and turned into a dragon.Zhu Yikai still can't forget the silver dragon that soared in the mountains that night, which almost destroyed his outlook on life and values. This is also the reason why Sima Fanti was the first to jump down when he heard that there was a flood dragon underwater. "Did the boss not find that giant python?" Zhu Yikai said, if he found it, shouldn't he catch this prehistoric creature with great research value?Long Chuxia smiled wryly: "Even if he finds out, he may not be able to defeat it." Zhu Yikai didn't know that there was a price to be paid to become a dragon. Sima Fanti could avoid this price if he could. She said no more, took out Sima Fanti's hair that had been prepared long ago, lit a magic talisman, and the talisman turned into a bat, flapping its wings and flying towards the depths of the cave.Zhu Yikai frowned slightly, there is no sunlight in the cave, can he keep up with the bats?However, Long Chuxia didn't seem to be worried at all, and he didn't lose track of him along the way. This is the so-called control benefit, there is a limit to advance and retreat.Zhu Yikai couldn't help but think highly of this teacher again in his heart. She was hiding her skills in front of them. I don't know how many amazing skills she still has. Follow the bats to advance carefully in the cave, Zhu Yikai's spirit is very tense, and he always uses a flashlight to illuminate the road under his feet, fearing that if he steps on the ground, he will be doomed.There are various forks in the cave, and each fork is like a black hole, which can spit out terrible monsters at any time, or swallow them in one breath.But the road was very smooth, so smooth that it was shocking, there were no monsters, no ghosts, just like this is just a very ordinary cave. Suddenly Long Chuxia paused, and Zhu Yikai asked, "What's wrong?" Long Chuxia replied, "The bat flew into the hole over there." Zhu Yikai raised the flashlight and looked carefully. The hole was very low and narrow, and it looked like a dog hole.Zhu Yikai helped her stand against the wall, then lowered herself to look into the hole. It didn't matter, he was so startled he could barely grab the flashlight. He sees a TV. That's right, a TV. This cave, which has been formed for millions of years, and probably no one has visited it for millions of years, actually has a TV?Zhu Yikai felt that this was simply a fantasy. He was silent for a moment, and asked Long Chuxia to wait outside for a while before going in to have a look.Long Chuxia didn't stop him, watching Zhu Yikai get into the cave, feeling a little uneasy for some reason. The cave was about the size of two rooms, and there were no other forks. Zhu Yikai looked around and found a stone bed on the east side. There was a rotten blanket on the bed, and there were cups, bowls and chopsticks beside the bed, all of which were portable.He drew an outline of these things in his mind. It seems that a climber once entered this cave, and because he couldn't find the way out, he lived here for a while.There is no corpse here, he may have escaped, or he may have died in some bottomless pit. However, this story has a fatal weakness. Where did this TV come from? No mountaineer climbs a mountain with a television set, does he?He looked at the TV carefully. It was a black-and-white TV set in the early 1990s. The screen was spherical and covered with rust spots. He wondered, could this TV still work? The TV screen is facing the bed, that is to say, the person who used to live here has seen this TV, but there is no electricity here, let alone a TV signal, how does the TV work? He watched the TV inside and out several times, and finally couldn't help reaching out his hand to press the TV switch out of curiosity. A hand reached out and grabbed his wrist. He was startled, and turned to see Long Chuxia with a serious face.The young female teacher frowned and said: "This thing looks very abnormal, it's better not to provoke it." A dense layer of cold sweat oozes from Zhu Yikai's temples, and he scolds himself in his heart for being too reckless. As the saying goes, abnormality is a monster, and this TV must not be a good thing. Long Chuxia looked up and frowned even tighter: "The bat is parked on the top of the cave." Now even Zhu Yikai couldn't help but start to frown. Animals transformed by spells won't stop easily unless There is no way. He looked up at the top of the cave, the boss was above the cave, but there was no way up, what should we do?The roof of the cave cannot be brought down.After thinking for a long time, he still said calmly: "Teacher, your leg is injured, please rest here for a while." The pain in her feet had long exhausted Long Chuxia, her face was terribly pale. She nodded, sat down on the stone bed, and checked the wound with a flashlight. There was blood all over the white gauze, but luckily there was not much bleeding. It is stopped.Zhu Yikai used his small portable cup to catch some water dripping from the stalactite, took a sip, and handed it to her after making sure there was no problem: "Teacher, take some aspirin to prevent wound infection." Long Chuxia took the medicine and lay on the stone bed exhausted. Looking at her pale face, Zhu Yikai felt guilty and wanted to apologize. He opened his mouth but couldn't. He was silent for a long time. Chu Xia said, "I'm hungry, give me something to eat." Zhu Yikai hurriedly went to take out his backpack, feeling relieved, suddenly there was a click on his head, and the two raised their heads nervously, the cave roof covered with stalactites made a series of clicking sounds, could it be that the cave roof is about to collapse?Zhu Yikai hurriedly got up to help Long Chuxia. The voice passed over his head and disappeared without a trace. Almost at the same time, there was a rustling electric sound behind him. Zhu Yikai's back turned cold all of a sudden, and cold sweat oozes from his temples. He turned his head slowly, and the cave became brighter. The white light shone on his face, making his complexion pale. The TV turned on. For a moment Zhu Yikai thought he was hallucinating, there was no picture on the TV screen, only snowflakes, rustling non-stop.The two stayed for half a minute, then looked at each other again, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.Zhu Yikai hesitated for a moment, walked to the back of the TV, the plug fell to the ground, and it was not plugged in at all. An unspeakable fear began to spread in the cave, like kudzu vines growing wildly. "Kaizi, turn off the TV." Long Chuxia said. Zhu Yikai quickly pressed the switch button, the screen went black, and the cave fell into darkness again. Human beings are afraid of darkness. This is a characteristic inherited from their ancestors in ancient times. Darkness means unknown danger. In darkness, it is extremely easy to Attacked by wild beasts.But for Zhu Yikai now, the light of unknown origin is probably more dangerous. "Teacher, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." He helped Long Chuxia up, and the two limped out.As soon as I walked to the entrance of the cave, I heard a popping sound, and the TV was turned on again. The screen flickered with snowflakes. From time to time, a picture of extremely poor signal appeared, and the snowflakes resumed. silence. Deathly silence.
