92nd bead

Since the mucus is non-toxic and there is no other fatal mechanism in this deep pit, I decided to let * go down to the deep pit to have a look.

* Pull out the waist saber, stab it into the floor next to the deep pit, then tie the rope to the handle of the knife, and hang the other end into the deep pit.

Then he grabbed the rope, pedaled the wall of the pit, and climbed down first.

I took the flashlight on it to light *. After a while, I only heard a sound, * let go of the rope and fell into the mucus at the bottom of the pit.

*The falling position is the side of the statue. The reason why he dares not fall on the statue is that we don't know the material of the statue. In case of breaking it as soon as we step on it, and destroy the baby, there will be no clue to escape from here.

I didn't expect the mucus to be so deep, * 1.85 meters in, jumped into it, and the water level was chest-length.

Seeing that he didn't look good, I asked with concern, "*, are you all right?"

* wiped the mucus on his face and scolded, "His grandma, it feels like jumping into a pit."

I almost laughed when I heard him say this. When did you jump over the pit?

* looked down at the statue and didn't forget to say to me, "Don't laugh. I used to be a special forces soldier. In those years, there was such a training in our unit. Stand in the pit for a long time and practice endurance. Don't mention the taste."

I have also watched a lot of military programs. China's special forces training is indeed so strict.

Because the mucus is indeed too deep, and the statue sinks at the bottom of the mucus, although the mucus is transparent, * there is no way to bend down to check.

So he looked up and said to me, "There's no way to do this. You throw another rope down, and we have to pull this thing up."

I took out the rope I carried with me as he said, took one end in my hand and threw it down.

* took a lot of effort to tie the neck and ankle of the statue with two ropes, and then waste the boss's strength and climbed up from the slippery rope.

Then we pulled the statue up together.

But I don't know why the statue is extremely heavy, and with the strength of the two of us, it can't be pulled at all.

I already had a barb in my hand, and now it was even more painful and unbearable, so I scolded, "What on earth is this thing made of? It's so heavy, damn it."

As soon as we finished speaking, our hands loosened at the same time and sat on the ground.

What's going on? Is the rope broken? I patted my buttocks and stood up and immediately walked to the hole.

When I came to the east and only looked down, I was dumbfounded.

"Damn, is this the case?" I couldn't help shouting out.

* also came over at this time, pulled hard with his hands, and pulled up the broken rope, and the broken part of the rope had been burned into a dark color.

It turned out that when we pulled the rope and tried to pull the statue up, the statue somehow began to generate a lot of heat, and then the mucus in the deep pit was heated and boiled. At this moment, it was bubbling, and a fragrance of trees steamed up with water vapor, so that we couldn't see anything. It's clear.

"What's going on? Did the statue burn up? *Look at me doubtfully.

I don't know, it's too evil.

But after thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that there is another sentence in "The Collection of Relics" that records the Wanqu people, which say: Wanqu people have beads. As long as they are the size of millet, they can shine in the hall. If they are thrown into the water, they will boil for several miles of foam.

It means that Wanqu people have a kind of beads. As long as one is as big as a grain of rice, it can illuminate a room. If it is thrown into the river, the boiling foam can flow for several miles.

I think we must have accidentally met this kind of bead of Wanqu people just now, which made the ** in the deep pit boil.

This kind of bead is so magical, but it is a treasure. If it runs out of energy like this, it will undoubtedly cause a loss.

And the statue of the girl we saw before happens to have such a bead in the palm of the hand. If you put it in, you may be able to open the mechanism here and find the exit.

But this boiling ** has been churning endlessly, and there is no way to take out the bead.

* When I learned my idea, I was also very embarrassed. After going down to such hot water, I didn't touch the beads. I guess it was delicious to cook the meat. The current way is to pick it up after the beads exerting full heat.

When we were in a hurry, I suddenly remembered something.

I untied the scarf in my right hand, then pulled the sleeves up, and saw that the green barbs had grown almost from the elbow to the shoulder, and my whole hand was almost green.

Although I feel extremely desperate to see such a terrible scene, since this hand has been used, why not let it play its final role? Even if it is cooked and cut off, I don't feel sad at all.

* Seeing my green hand, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, I asked me, "This? What's going on?"

I smiled bitterly, shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe I've been poisoned...*, you now tie my feet with a rope and hang me upside down. I'll use this hand to find the bead.

* shook his head, frowned and said, "Although your hand has become like this, it can't resist the boiling water. Don't torture yourself..."

I patted *'s shoulder with my left hand and asked him, "Is life important now or hands important?" If we are trapped here, this hand will be even more incurable.

*'s eyes widened slightly and then looked at me.

After a while, he sighed and nodded and said, "Well, if you can't stand it, I'll pull you up right away."

I told him not to talk nonsense and tie his legs quickly.

* As I said, tie one end of the rope to my leg and the other end to my waist.

Then I lay on the ground, with my head facing the direction of the deep pit and slowly climbed forward.

* has been pulling me. Although he has injuries, his chassis is still very stable. In addition, although I am 1.8 meters, I am only 120 pounds, so he is not particularly difficult.

Finally, most of my body reached the hole.

At this moment, a burst of fiery steam rushed up and choked me to cough a few times. Fortunately, I covered my scarf in advance, otherwise I might burn and peel off this time.

I grabbed the wall of the hole with my green thorny right hand, and as soon as my whole body tilted, I fell over.

* dragged the rope and let out a muffled hum behind me, obviously bearing a lot of weight.

I asked him later, "Are you all right?"

* did not answer directly, but said, "I put the rope. When the height is about the same, I will stop."

After saying this, he put the rope down, and I slowly fell down.

The closer it is to the boiling water surface, the higher the temperature of water vapor. In the dazzling smoke, there is a smell of burning trees.

People who have been scalded by water vapor know that the temperature of steam is higher than boiling water, and sometimes it can even reach 200 degrees, so the steamed food is softer than boiled and cooked faster.

The position I am in now is only more than one meter away from the surface of the water. It should be as uncomfortable as going into the sea of fire, but I was surprised to find that my right hand is not afraid of burning at all.

I covered my face with my right hand, and I felt a little better. Then I saw in my fingers that I was only about 20 centimeters from the surface of the water. Those rolling bubbles exploded not far in front of my eyes, and the droplets splashed on my hand from time to time, but my right hand did not feel any pain.

I saw that the height was almost the same, so I shouted up: Stop!

* Steady made me stop falling, and then I was in my fingers and observed the situation under the water.

The transparent mucus in front of me is boiling, and the white smoke is floating everywhere. I can only see the general outline of the transparent statue.

But the glowing beads were still very bright after all. Soon, I found the yellow bright spot in the position of the statue's neck.

After looking right, I was about to insert the boiling water with my right hand to quickly and take out the beads, but suddenly I saw the boiling water below making a noise.

A horrible strange face came out of the water from next to me.
