"This, what the hell is going on!" It was another tragedy, Yijiang had cold hands and feet, and curled up on the ground. 。

"He Xue is dead." I smiled bitterly, feeling weak. What is the composition of this white mist gas, which is so corrosive?

"Look!" Shi Yueying on the side suddenly exclaimed.

The crowd looked up. Not far away, the abyss, which was originally within reach, disappeared without a trace in front of our eyes. Opposite me is a straight 'hole' and 'hole', exactly the same 'hole' and 'hole' as the 'hole' and 'hole' in my body. It only takes one glance to know that they are simply the same whole.

And on the ground, about 4 meters away from us, there were piles of white bones scattered together. The bones were old, some yellowed, some had even begun to petrify, and were all human remains.

I swallowed hard, plucked up the courage to walk over, and looked at it before saying, "These human remains have blunt force wounds on their heads, their skulls have been cracked, and this is most likely the cause of death." ”

"Is this a burial pit? So what was going on in the abyss just now? Bu Xiaoxin also walked over and said in surprise.

"Maybe there's a substance here that has a hypnotic effect and gives us illusions all over our body." I judged.

"But He Xue's death is so real, and there is no remains of her in these bones."

I glanced around, "Who knows, maybe the problem is in the fog we're seeing." Those gases had a strong corrosive 'nature', and they were all synthesized after coming into contact with He Xue's body. The hypnotic substance is also depleted, so that we can see and hear normally. ”

"If your judgment is correct, then going back should be able to return to the position of the Black Fire." Bu Xiaoxin said with a gloomy expression.

Everyone silently began to walk back again, and unexpectedly, this time they still couldn't get out. Ahead, it's still the sturdy stone wall.

I slammed my hand on the stone wall and said angrily, "Damn! It seems that the indulgence pool is only allowing us to go through the passage it has left for us, and it wants to lead us where it wants us to go! You want us all to die! ”

"What's the solution, we're guests, it's the host. Since the host has invited us, we can only be a guest! Bu Xiaoxin sneered.

"You have a great sense of humor!" I took a deep breath: "But, yes. Go, I'm going to see where this damn drowning pool wants us to go! ”

At 8:53 p.m., we stepped on the 'hole' that was originally a cliff. The 'hole' is so straight that it has a slight downward slope of 15 degrees, and it is difficult to tell whether it is natural or artificial. But when you walk like this, you will have the illusion that you will go straight into the depths of hell like this.

It starts to get cold in the 'hole' and 'hole', and as the altitude drops, the temperature gets lower. The 'hole' and 'hole' also follow this law. I walked for more than two hours. At 10:50, we finally broke out of the same 'hole' and 'hole' and came to a waterhole.

The water in this pool is not deep, but it is very clear, and there are some algae floating on the surface of the water, which is emitting a faint glow. Even if you turn off the miner's lamp overhead, you can vaguely see some unknown little things swimming under the water, leisurely eating the floating algae on the surface of the water from time to time. "It's beautiful." Shi Yueying exclaimed, her face finally regained a little blood. Everyone was hungry, so we discussed it and prepared to camp on the spot, eat something and get some good sleep, and set off early tomorrow morning. Bu Xiaoxin took a bottle of water in the pool with a mineral water bottle, and somewhere found an HP test paper to test the acidity and alkalinity of the water.

"What, can you drink it?" I asked. This time, I didn't plan to stay at the bottom of the drowning pool for long, let alone spend the night, so I didn't bring in much equipment. There are only some basic and light testing equipment, and a small amount of food and fresh water. Since Qin Han and He Xue were both dead, the things they were carrying were also lost. I casually counted that if I saved a little, the food and water would only support the five of us to survive for three days. But it's not the same with enough water. With water, everyone can live five to seven more days, greatly increasing the odds of survival! Moreover, it seems that there are fish in the pool, although I don't know the species, if you can eat this thing, you can earn it. You can stop worrying about food and water and slowly look for a way out. Bu Xiaoxin glanced at the test strip, looked up and said: "HP is seven, typical non-acidic and non-alkaline, but it is too standard, and the mineral water advertisement of a certain TV outside that claims to have filtered ninety-nine layers is not exaggerated!" "No matter how much it is, since there is no acid-base 'sex', it should be able to drink." I 'touched' my nose. "Then you drink it to me first. Although the pH index is fine, how to look at this pool of water is strange. Bu Xiaoxin poured the water in the bottle back into the pool: "You see, plants can't survive on water alone, they definitely need other ingredients." Since there are plants living on the surface of the water, there must be something in the water that the HP test paper cannot detect. ”

"Not bad." I nodded and asked me to drink anything from this weird 'hole' or 'hole', but of course I didn't dare: "If a plant is going to glow, it mostly contains some kind of 'emissional' and 'sexual' element in its body. It is estimated that the rocks at the bottom of the pond contain "emission" and "sexual" minerals, which are absorbed by plants and processed in the body to become visible light. ”

Shi Yueying, who was on the side, suddenly ran over and shouted: "Little Qiqi, look, the fish in the waterhole are so strange, they have no bones!" ”

I looked closely, and sure enough, the whole body of the fish swimming not far away was basically transparent, and I could clearly see the scenery at the bottom of the pool through its body.

"Strange, these transparent fish, where are its bones?" She tilted her head and pondered.

I smiled: "Its bones are also transparent. This type of fish is also found in the sea, and in order to defend themselves against predators, they can only make themselves invisible. ”

At this point, my words stopped abruptly. Yes, algae survive by sucking the 'ejaculating' and 'sexual' elements in water and pools, while fish survive by eating algae, which has formed a biological chain, so why do these fish need to disguise themselves? Is there an upper food chain?

But this waterhole is clear at a glance, there is nothing else but this transparent fish, so what are they guarding against?

At this moment, there was a sound in the distance, and it was rushing in our direction at a great speed......

The voices got closer, and I shouted, and everyone was standing back to back, miners with their lights on, clutching anything that could be used as a weapon.

It didn't take long for a group of two-meter-tall creatures that looked like dogs to run out. I looked closely, and the creatures stood with their shoulders higher than their hips, and their front bodies were thicker than their back bodies. They have large heads, thick skulls, long 'snouts' and large, round ears. Their limbs have four toes, and their claws are large, curved and blunt, seemingly intractable. There are mane hairs on the back of the neck and shoulders, and long tail hairs. The body 'hair' is sparse and coarse, with spots or streaks. Although they have a slightly dog-like appearance, their heads are shorter and rounder than dogs', their foreheads are broad, their tails are short, their front 'legs' are long, their hind 'legs' are short, their fur is brownish-yellow 'colored' or tan 'colored', and there are many irregular black-brown 'colored' spots. Looking at those two rows of sharp teeth, you can see that they are definitely 'carnivorous' and 'sexual' animals.

"Hyenas?" Bu Xiaoxin asked in a low voice.

"It looks a little similar, but obviously not, hyenas don't have that big." I replied softly. These creatures apparently also retain a faint vision, which they use to prey on the transparent fish in the pool. Probably having never been exposed to such a strong light, they stopped abruptly and cautiously circled around us.

Their mouths are wide open, their disgusting saliva is constantly flowing, their sharp teeth glistening in the light, and there is no doubt that they can easily tear you apart.

It is not easy to be surrounded by a group of creatures more than two meters tall, and the five of us are in a cold sweat, and we dare not relax our 'spirits' when the sweat flows into our eyes, for fear that they will pounce at any time.

Due to the haste of the assembly, Yijiang and Shi Yueying's backpacks did not have time to be brought on, and they were still left by the waterhole in the distance. The strange creatures apparently noticed this, and a few of them walked over with interest, sniffed with their noses, and then bit the backpack open in a few bites, and ate the contents with relish, and soon all the dog-like creatures were attracted to the contents of the backpack, and they ate so happily that even the metal substance was swallowed.

"Let's slip now." This good chance won't last long, but when those creatures eat up their backpacks and then get used to the bright light, it's probably our time of death.

I'm afraid they are a kind of mutated hyena, with well-developed canine and cleft teeth, a strong bite force, and can easily bite through metal. I just observed that although this creature is huge, it can run at a speed of 50~60 kilometers per hour, and it can run long distances without getting tired.

In this place where there are no natural predators, they don't take us seriously at all, and we can't scare them. Even if you can kill a few with a gun, there is still only one way to die. We tiptoed as little as we could to disturb them, moved forward quickly, and left the dangerous waterhole, walking for nearly an hour before we dared to stop and rest. This time the losses were so heavy that we couldn't accept them for a while! Since Yijiang and Shi Yueying are 'girl' children, in order to take care of them, the bulky equipment is carried by me, Yingshan and Bu Xiaoxin, who is relatively strong. Their backpacks contained most of the group's food and fresh water. The fact that two backpacks were eaten by hyenas not only meant that we had 70% of our food and fresh water gone, but also greatly reduced our chances of survival.
