Volume 6 Chapter 14 The Terrifying Floating Corpses
Luo Changfeng instructed the live monkey to jump across the bamboo raft with the ground, stuck at the entrance of the cave, and then shouted behind him: "Boss, Luo Shuai, you come here, there is something to discuss with you." ”
Chen Yulou in the back responded: "Wait a while, this is coming." ”
Chen Yulou commanded everyone to connect the bamboo rafts one after another, just like Cao Cao did in Chibi, connecting dozens of bamboo rafts together, just like setting up a pontoon bridge on this river.
As long as you are careful not to step on the junction between the front and rear rafts, you will not fall into the water.
Chen Yulou started his light work and strode towards the head of the team, because he was fast enough, the bamboo raft had barely fully borne his weight, causing him to sink a lot, he had already run to the next bamboo raft, Luo Lao Crooked didn't have this ability, so he could only walk over cautiously.
Chen Yulou soon came to Luo Changfeng and their bamboo raft, Luo Changfeng and Partridge Whistle explained to him, and he also understood what was going on.
Chen Yulou thought for a while and said, "Let's see what's going on inside, and then decide how to operate." ”
"It's fine. Luo Changfeng nodded, turned around and entered the joint, and walked towards the inner edge.
The level of the river just cut to the bottom of the narrow hole, and about two inches of water overflowed, just enough to submerge the upper of Luo Changfeng's shoes.
The middle interface is two zhang long, Luo Changfeng walked to the edge, looked out, and sure enough, Partridge Whistle's speculation was correct.
This gourd hole seems to be inclined downward at an angle of 25 degrees, and after the water overflows, a drop is formed, forming a small waterfall with a small flow of water.
The slope of the waterfall is very steep, and it is arc-shaped, just like the inner wall of the gourd, and the height is not short, more than three zhang.
According to the characteristics of the gourd shape, the water in the middle is the deepest, and the shallower it is on both sides, and the water on both sides of the cave below has many protruding superimposed rock formations on which people can walk.
Luo Changfeng returned to the bamboo raft and told what he saw, Chen Yulou muttered: "Since there are rock formations on both sides that can be walked, it doesn't matter if you want this bamboo raft or not." ”
"But be prepared, after we have set up the centipede to hang the ladder, we can let this raft fall on its own, and it is not a bad thing that there is some place on the water to move. ”
Luo Changfeng nodded secretly, Chen Yulou has indeed grown a lot this time, and he has considered the problem much more thoroughly than before.
At the moment, he echoed: "Okay, then let's put two bamboo rafts up, the water in this joint is not deep, and the bamboo raft will run aground as soon as it is put on, which is just convenient for settling." ”
"But the centipede hanging ladder is probably not suitable, the cave wall is arc-shaped, and slightly inclined inward, the centipede hanging ladder can't hang, in this case, the partridge whistle brother their drill rope is better to use. ”
Partridge whistled, "No problem, we have three of them, even if we use one here." ”
After thinking about it, Luo Changfeng's shoes were already wet anyway, and at the moment, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle and they all moved to other bamboo rafts, and Luo Changfeng dragged their bamboo raft up.
This junction is two zhang long, and the length of the bamboo raft is nearly one zhang, and the two bamboo rafts just make a platform in the joint.
Partridge Whistle asked the Divider to put a rock wedge on the cave wall, and then tied up his own Drill Rope, and in order to show the reliability of the Drill Rope, he was the first to slide down the Drill Rope.
More than 300 people began to slide down one after another, and it took a lot of time, and by the time everyone went down, it was already more than three hours had passed.
Luo Changfeng stayed at the end with a powerful generation of swordsmen, and they pushed the bamboo rafts out one by one, and each time they pushed out, someone below would use a penny to branch the bamboo raft, and the second one would fall so that it would not be smashed.
In this way, it took more than an hour, and at this time it had been six or seven hours since entering the underground river, and when the time was calculated, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was a little tired.
Chen Yulou asked everyone to rest in place for an hour, eat some dry food, and then continue to set off.
It's nothing to eat, but this urgent problem doesn't matter to the old men, but it's a little difficult for the two girls, Hua Ling and the Red Girl.
The last solution was for Luo Changfeng and Chen Yulou to form a human wall, block them, and let them solve it behind them.
However, those who do this line of work are not so particular, and they are not as twisted as ordinary women, and for a while, this section of the river is filled with the smell of Yoneda and urine.
However, they solved the problem near the waterfall and walked a hundred meters away to rest.
An hour later, the group set out again, walking along the rock formation on the right, five or six feet wide, large enough for three or four people to walk in parallel, and occasionally seeing some raised rocks.
The rafts floated forward on their own with the current, and they didn't have to worry about it.
After walking forward for about a few minutes, Luo Changfeng and Partridge Whistle, who were at the head, found that a cold, dim white light suddenly appeared on the water in front of them.
After seeing the female corpse before, Partridge Whistle had always remembered this stubble in his heart, and when he saw the white light, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly stepped to the side of the mountain rock and squatted down, turned off the searchlight in his hand, and waved his hand back.
The people behind him immediately made the same movements as him, and the people behind him did the same when they saw the movements of the people in front of them.
The lights quickly faded away, and the light in the river became apparent, and everyone saw the white light in the river.
The flickering light in the water, from faint to clear, seemed to be a corpse.
Hundreds of people held their breath, staring at the glowing corpse.
After a few breaths, several more floating corpses appeared in the water, some of which had already surfaced, some of which were still at the bottom of the water, all with their arms and legs bent down on their backs.
The posture was indescribably awkward, as if the joints had been broken, and what was even more bizarre was that they seemed to be uncontrolled by the buoyancy of the water, and they were all female corpses, not a single male corpse.
More and more female corpses emerged from the water, and in less than a few minutes, I don't know where so many came out, even behind them, and there were thousands and hundreds.
Some of the female corpses floated up, just under the bamboo raft, and they actually accelerated forward with the bamboo raft.
These female corpses all emitted a ghostly white light, and the originally dark river cave was lit up by those ghost fires, but this bright light made people feel like they were falling into a cold ice hell, and they couldn't stop trembling all over their bodies.
Chen Yulou relied on his night ability to see, and quietly touched Luo Changfeng and Partridge Whistle's side, and said softly: "Changfeng, these floating corpses seem to be gathering in a certain area, and it seems that they are not coming at us." ”
Luo Changfeng said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see what happens. ”
Chen Yulou nodded, stopped talking, and everyone lurked behind the mountain rock to watch the movement of those floating corpses.
At this time, most of the entire cave was illuminated by the floating corpses that emitted a strange light, and the bottomless underground river was layered on top of each other, and I don't know how many floating corpses there were.
The soldiers and the thieves were a little panicked, there were so many floating corpses, if they were to cheat the corpses, it would be troublesome, I don't know if the guns can deal with these things.
Fortunately, the floating corpses were similar to the logs in the river, and they were ignorant and ignorant, slowly gathering towards the deep water in the middle of the cave, and there was no sign of trying to cheat the corpses.
I don't know where these many female corpses came from, if it is said that it is an ancient corpse thousands of years ago, how can it be preserved so well in the water, and there is no decay at all?
Looking at the delicate and clear plump body, it is not much different from a living person, and the cold blue light emitted from the corpse, what is the reason?
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were puzzled, so they had to wait and see what Luo Changfeng said.
After a while, they slowly saw some clues, these floating corpses were floating up from the deep water, gradually gathering.
The most concentrated place, more than twenty zhang away from Luo Changfeng's hiding place, there was a large cloud of red gas floating above the water surface connected to the water surface, obscuring the terrifying blue light.
Groups of floating corpses aimed at the red cloud, scrambling to get in.
The large cloud of red smoke was like a brightly colored red paint, and there was something in it that could not be seen, but it was like a bottomless hole, and a large number of floating corpses had been sucked into it, and there was no sign of filling it up.
