Chapter 84 Underground Underworld (4)

Holding a torch, I crouched on the edge of the platform and took a closer look, only to find that it was really a lump of iron.

This thing is a large-scale explosion-proof nail, and the outermost iron cap is as big as two adult fists.Huge iron objects were driven into the rock at the bottom left of the platform, which appeared to be very solid.

And on this iron bump, there is still an iron chain tied.

The iron chain was about two fingers thick, and it was icy cold to the touch. One end of it was tied to an explosion-proof nail, and the other end hung in the air, extending into the rushing underground river.

I felt strange for a while, and I didn't know what it was, so I stretched out my hand and pulled it.

With this pull, the iron chain did not move at all, appearing quite heavy, as if something extremely heavy was falling below the iron chain.

I thought to myself: Could this have been a rope bridge?Otherwise, who would chisel such an iron chain in this place?
If it is a cable bridge, then it must lead to the opposite side. Is there something strange on the opposite side of the underground river?I couldn't help raising the torch high, and looked with wide eyes, trying to see a little of the situation on the other side.

However, the underground river channel is very wide, and the water vapor is transpiring during the period. Under the firelight, the water vapor changes, like a mirage, where can we see the scene on the opposite side.

My tossing caught Wei Ge's attention. He no longer closed his eyes to rest, but opened them, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing?"

When the doctor heard the question, he only squinted at me, guessing that he was too tired, so he still lay on the platform without moving.

I said: "There is an iron cable here. I guess it used to be a cable bridge, but it is broken now. Since a cable bridge has been made, it means there must be something on the opposite side."

When Wei Ge heard this, he immediately got up, walked to me and followed suit, and said in surprise, "There is still a cable bridge." He said, just like me, trying to look across, assuming he couldn't see anything.

While speaking, Brother Wei also tried to pull the iron chain that fell into the water.

The first time he pulled, the iron chain didn't move. Brother Wei suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder, so he couldn't use much force, so he gave up after pulling again.

In fact, when I pulled it just now, I didn't use too much force. After all, I suffered internal injuries at the moment, and even if I tried to use all my strength, I couldn't use it.If we're all safe and sound, maybe we can pull the chain up and see what's down there.

After tossing and tossing for a while, we couldn't figure it out, so Brother Wei and I didn't care about it anymore, so we sat back and continued to rest.

I watched, while Brother Wei and the doctor relaxed and rested. In the darkness, the sound of groundwater rushing was like a passionate piece of music, and the changing water mist under the firelight was reflected in a kind of orange.

The water mist is transpiring and changing. After watching for a long time, it seems to fall into some kind of indescribable fairyland, which makes people feel in a trance.

I walked away for a while, then realized that I shouldn't be so relaxed, so I regained my energy.

The patriarch's group is still missing at this moment. In fact, the sound of the water is roaring here. If they don't light up the light or shoot, it's hard for us to detect the footsteps even if they come to us.

Fortunately, the foothold in this place is narrow, and it is impossible to move forward in the dark. They must use the light source. As long as they turn on the light source, it is impossible to hide, and it is even more difficult to sneak attack us.

And until now, there has been no trace of the snake demon. Presumably, it was injured by a gunshot, and it should have been startled away. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to find the exit as soon as possible.

Will the exit be on the opposite side of the cableway?
This idea, because of the appearance of the iron chain, kept spinning in my mind, but even if this idea is very strong, it is impossible for us to cross this rushing underground river to reach the opposite side, unless the cable bridge is restored, or there are other bridge passages on the opposite side Otherwise, it will be swept away by the billowing groundwater as soon as it hits the water.

After a while, Brother Wei and the doctor had enough rest and got up one after another.

In fact, we only rested for less than 5 minutes in total. If there were not enough torches in the back basket, we would not dare to waste these 5 minutes.

The torch before the break was about to burn out, we replaced it with a new one, groped down the platform, and planned to continue along the narrow cave wall stone path.

Probably because our position became lower and we were closer to the groundwater. As soon as we got down, the three of us saw something suddenly popping out of the tumbling groundwater.

The thing seemed to be pushed up by the water, and soon sank again.

But at this moment, I can see clearly.

That seems to be a person!

And it's a woman!

When she was pushed up by the water, her long black hair could be seen very clearly in the turbid yellow water, entangled with each other, like a water ghost.

I took a deep breath and said, "There's someone! Crazy Liu!" Although the woman was quickly submerged by the water and I couldn't see her clearly, the only woman in this place was Crazy Liu. , the corpse in the water, who else could there be besides her?

The reason why it was determined to be a corpse was because if a living person fell into the water, he would definitely struggle.

But the figure that appeared in the underground river moved with the water without any resistance.

We heard Madman Liu's cry before, but now it seems that she was indeed killed, and her body was thrown into the underground river by the snake demon.

The doctor looked very ugly, and said: "The water goes to the lower place, and the body of Crazy Liu came here, which means that she was thrown down from the upper reaches." Jin Le's words were very clear. Also hid upstream.

We are going up now, and there is no guarantee that we will not meet it on a narrow road.

I said: "Let's be more vigilant, and be careful not to be attacked by it." While speaking, Brother Wei looked at the underground river and let out a sigh, as if he had discovered something strange.

The doctor and I subconsciously looked at it, and were also stunned, because Crazy Liu, who was pushed out by the water just now, was turned out by the water again!
You must know that the water potential of this underground river is very large. When things like corpses fall into the river, they will be carried down according to the trend of the river water. It is impossible to stop at a certain position in the water.

But at this moment, Crazy Liu, who was pushed out, was still ups and downs in the same direction, and he was never swept down by the current.

After seeing the white-haired old thief manipulating the mummy and the snake demon becoming a spirit, my worldview has been rebuilt. At this moment, looking at the female corpse floating in the water, I couldn't help saying: "She won't go away!" ?”

Brother Wei looked sad, and said in a hoarse voice: "I heard that if the corpse is soaked in water, it will become a water ghost, and it is difficult to survive. Help her to pick up the corpse." I have no objection to this, we have no ability to save people, but It is still possible to salvage the corpse within one's ability, and it can be regarded as comforting one's conscience and accumulating virtue for oneself.
