Chapter 253 The Turtle in the Underground River
"Pioneer?" Jiang Hanye rarely heard this word. Now that he heard it from Jin Danzi's mouth, he couldn't help but look at Jin Danzi sideways. The short and strange-faced guy was looking serious at this time. His eyes were very clear, emitting brilliant light under the moonlight, which was full of hope.
"Yes! We Jindanzi has lived for too long. There has been a race since Pangu opened up, but look, master, now there are human beings all over the world, and even this world is called the world. On the contrary, how much is left of Jindanzi now? It is said that we are the only tribe left. When Jin Danzi said these words, he did not have the timid and improper appearance of the past. On the contrary, he gave Jiang Hanye a domineering and vibrant feeling.
"Yes." Jiang Hanye pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You're right. In fact, the world is not only ours, but also yours. Sometimes what human beings do is really too much."
The two of them chatted all the way and unconsciously walked out for more than a miles, and in front of them was a dark cave. The cave is very short. Compared with Jiang Hanye, he even needs to bend down to enter.
The cave is not only low, but also wet. There is no flat place on the ground. It is all fist-sized or even head-sized pebbles. Those stones are smooth and covered with moss. If you walk on it, you will fall to the ground if you walk on it.
"Master, be careful, let me come first!" Jin Danzi performed very well tonight. He was unprecedentedly brave and took the initiative to take the lead. I don't know whether it was because this was his hometown, he was the host, or something else.
Jiang Hanye was not polite to Jin Danzi. He turned sideways and let Jin Danzi walk in front of him.
Jin Danzi took out the fire pleats, lit the torch in his hand, and carefully explored the way in front of him, while Jiang Hanye also carefully followed.
The cave was curved and deep, leading to the underground. Jiang Hanye was excited as he walked. This excitement was excited for no reason, and even he felt very strange after himself.
There is no scenery in the whole cave. It is full of strange rocks and wet everywhere. Even a head will be hit by water droplets.
"Wow~"
A burst of empty whine came. The sound was ethereal and sounded as if it came from far away. Jiang Hanye frowned. He didn't bring Xiaobai. He was always worried about leaving Linger alone in a strange place, so he left Xiaobai to accompany her. Naturally, this sound was not Xiaobai's voice. .
"Master, did you hear me?" Jin Danzi stopped and looked back nervously at Jiang Hanye and asked.
Jiang Hanye nodded: "Wow sound?"
"Yes." Jin Danzi nodded and said, "Is this probably the monster your uncle said?"
"It's not that, it should be that group." Jiang Hanye Road.
"What should we do?" Jin Danzi said.
"I have a suggestion." Jiang Hanye Road.
"You say!" Jin Danzi stared at him excitedly. In his heart, Jiang Hanye could always come up with unexpected good ideas.
"Why don't you turn back and pretend that nothing has happened and leave the previous things to me, okay?" Jiang Hanye Road. Jin Danzi has performed very well. He even did such a thing behind the back of the ethnic group in order to accompany Jiang Hanye to get through this. Jiang Hanye was grateful and thinking about Jin Danzi at the same time.
Jin Danzi shook his head in disappointment: "I thought it was a good idea. Master, don't plan to dump me! No matter what is ahead, whether it is life or death, I will not flinch.
Jiang Hanye was silent and didn't say anything. He just urged Jin Danzi to leave quickly.
After Jinxi entered the cave, it became cold and boneless, and it seemed to become deeper. Just now, Jiang Hanye accidentally stepped on the water and was immediately stimulated by the ice-like temperature. He, who was already slightly sleepy, immediately became clear-headed.
"Why is this water so cold?" Jiang Hanye frowned.
"I don't know. It's always like this. It's probably related to Kunlun Mountain or something." Jin Danzi replied.
The temperature under the ground was extremely low, and they felt like returning to the depths of the snowy mountains as they walked. When Jin Danzi spoke, with the faint torch light, Jiang Hanye could even see the white breath coming out of his mouth.
After that whining sound, Jiang Hanye didn't hear a similar sound for a long time, but somehow, he always felt that there was something hidden here. What was it? Excited blood surged in his body, but he felt strange in his heart and felt strange about this feeling.
In addition to the footsteps of Jiang Hanye and Jin Danzi, the occasional sound of water droplets in the cave, it is very quiet. However, in this quietness, Jiang Hanye always feels that there is a whisper in his ear, as if someone is talking in a low voice.
Because of the river map, Jiang Hanye's hearing and vision have become extraordinary, so he suspects that somewhere in the depths of the earth, there may be any secret that he doesn't know, or people?
After walking for a long time, they came to a cliff. Yes, this is an underground cliff. The cave seems to have reached its end. A further ahead is an unknown cliff, or a river, because the water surface is about ten feet away from them. Thinking of what the elder said at that time, Jiang Hanye has reason to suspect that this is the Guluo River.
"Jump down?" Jin Danzi said.
"It's always so reckless." Jiang Hanye said, "We don't know anything about the bottom. How can we jump down? Also, look at the opposite side.
Jin Danzi looked up and saw that there was also a passage almost perpendicular to the cave they were in. The road was inclined, and the upper part did not know where it was connected, but the lower part went deep into the river.
"Hey, the master is the master, and what he sees is farther than us." Jin Danzi regained his smiling face at this moment, "So what should we do? Fly over?"
"Well, go and have a look." Jiang Hanye observed that there seemed to be several caves on the opposite side, and they were also wider than here. Anyway, let's go to the opposite side first.
"Wow! What a thrill!" Jin Danzi hugged Jiang Hanye's waist and flew all the way. Although the distance was only 20 to 30 feet away, it was still enough to make him scream.
"Let go." Jiang Hanye said that the most annoying thing about Jin Danzi is that he often grabbed other people's clothes. That kind of action is probably only done by nursing children.
"Hey!" Jin Danzi let go and stood on the ground. The terrain here is open, and it is much flatter and not so wet. It feels much more comfortable to stand here.
Jiang Hanye found that this is actually a slope, obliquely inserted into the river like a sword. The river below can be different from Jinxi. It is wide and deep, and its depth can't be seen through.
"Do you know where the turtle is?" Jiang Hanye asked.
Jin Danzi shook his head: "Scared, how can I know? Do you think it's my friend's master?"
"So how did you sacrifice before?" Jiang Hanye asked.
"Sacrifice is not seen. It will appear after we leave. In fact, I've been thinking that it probably thinks we are a group of fools." Jin Danzi said very seriously.
"Why?" Jiang Hanye sometimes wanted to open the skull with Lei's mouth to see what this guy was thinking all day long.
"Think about it, if someone comes to kowtow to burn incense and send you delicious food for no reason, do you think he is strange? I think the turtle probably thinks so too. Jin Danzi is a guy who is easy to convince himself. As he speaks, he nod and believes himself.
Jiang Hanye knew that it would be useless to ask him again, and it was still up to rely on him, so he was ready to start searching. According to the Jin Danzi, this should be the place where they sacrifice. If the turtle really exists, it must be near here, and the biggest possibility is to be immersed in the bottom of the water.
Jiang Hanye took a deep breath. The quiet river made him feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he was just a dry duck, and when he was in the cow village, a friend fell into the pond and drowned. That incident had a deep impact on him and was also the most important reason why he was afraid that the water would not drown.
There are three caves along this road, one of which is winding up. It seems to lead somewhere on the ground. This cave was directly ignored by Jiang Hanye. The other two places were not far away, and Jiang Hanye soon found that the two caves were connected, which saved him a lot of time. At least he didn't have to spend time searching for two caves.
Jiang Hanye chose a cave and walked in with Jin Danzi.
"Master, why don't you go down the river?" Jin Danzi asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just want to see what's in this cave." Jiang Hanye's face changed awkwardly. He didn't want to let the big-mouthed Jin Danzi know that his water quality was not good. Maybe he would take this as a post-dinner talk and tell everyone.
This cave is much higher than the cave he entered before, but it is very narrow, and the ground is also wet. There are puddles everywhere. From time to time, a frog will jump on the instep of Jiang Hanye and sit down.
The cave is hovering downward. In Jiang Hanye's view, this direction is the same as the direction of the road going deep into the bottom of the river. The more Jiang Hanye walked, the more he felt that his original judgment was correct, because when he walked in the cave, he could even hear a turbid breathing sound. This sound was definitely not Jin Danzi, let alone his. Jiang Hanye guessed that this was the voice of the turtle.
After walking down for a long time, they touched the bottom. Here is still a river. Jiang Hanye felt that this river was the same as the previous river, at least connected. After going out of the cave, there is a platform about ten feet square, and the river is outside the platform. This platform is slightly higher than the river, so they can set foot here and observe the river.
It is dark everywhere. Their only light source is the torch that has burned nearly half of Jin Danzi's hand. The light of the torch can never shine far, so Jiang Hanye tried his best to barely see the center of the river.
The depth of the river may not be as deep as he thought before, at least now it seems so. The river is full of abrupt rocks. The back of those rocks is exposed, and when the river flows through them, it will automatically split up and slip away.
Wang!
A relatively fierce sound of water sounded, and Jiang Hanye suddenly found a special stone there. Due to the problem of light, any stone he sees here is the same color, but this stone is a little strange, and this stone can move.
"Oh, my God, it's not a turtle, is it?" Jin Danzi was so scared that he almost fell into the river, and even the torch in his hand fell down. Fortunately, Jiang Hanye grabbed the torch quickly.
"I don't know, be quiet." Jiang Hanye whispered that he was afraid that Jin Danzi would scare away the turtle, but he also knew that because Jin Danzi had been harassed by a turtle at the gate of hell, he was deeply afraid of the things in the water, especially the turtle, from then on, so he did not scold him much.
Jin Danzi suddenly closed his mouth, took a few steps back, and stood behind Jiang Hanye and waited quietly.
Wang!
Another water wave sounded, and the stone suddenly emerged from the water, revealing a triangular head. This head is not too big, but if you look at it from the perspective of a turtle, it is already a huge thing.
This is indeed a turtle. It was its hard turtle shell that was mistaken for a stone just now. After emerging from the surface, the turtle stared at the river with a pair of gray-yellow eyes, where Jiang Hanye and Jin Danzi stood.
"What are the characteristics of the turtle?" Jiang Hanye asked.
"The mysterious turtle...the mysterious turtle..." Jin Danzi had a particularly poor memory when he was nervous. Now he is very nervous. Therefore, although he knew the answer to this question, he still thought for a long time before saying, "I heard that the black turtle shell is thirteen pieces, and there are long horns on his head."
"That's it!" Jiang Hanye said excitedly, "Where can I find Luo Shu?"
Before Jin Danzi could answer, the turtle in the river suddenly rowed and rushed to the shore at a very fast speed. When it was about to land, it opened its not too big mouth and roared. Its voice was very sad and sounded as if it was going to fight with people.
The turtle was very strong. When he rushed over with a wet and cold wind, Jiang Hanye could avoid the turtle sideways. He frowned and thought, "I just want Luo Shu, and I don't want to take the turtle's life, but how can I make it understand what I mean?"
"Oh, I remember that the turtle won't take the initiative to attack people. This guy is not the turtle, is he?" At this time, Jin Danzi had been hiding far away for a long time. When he was within a safe distance, he was not nervous and his mind was smooth.
"How is it possible?" Jiang Hanye frowned, because he had seen the special-looking horn on the turtle's head. If Jin Danzi was right before, the guy in front of him must be a mysterious turtle.
"That's troublesome. I think someone must have made it unhappy before, so it has a bad temper!" Jin Danzi said.
"Is that so?" Jiang Hanye looked at the turtle's eyes, and his peanut-sized eyes were indeed full of anger.
"Get out!" A buzzing old voice suddenly sounded. It turned out that the turtle said it.
"Can you speak? That's great!" Jiang Hanye was not angered by the turtle, but was very happy, so that they could communicate with each other, at least to avoid some unnecessary sacrifices.
"What a fart!" Xuangui said angrily, "You shameless human beings, get out of here. Grandpa, I don't want to kill people casually. Don't force me to do it!"
It seems that the turtle is indeed angry, otherwise it would be impossible to treat Jiang Hanye like this.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Jiang Hanye asked, "Maybe I can help you!"
"Help me? Humph! Let me ask you, why did you come here? When the turtle spoke, it did not stop. It used its limbs, mouth and tail and kept greeting Jiang Hanye. At this time, Jiang Hanye could not fight back, but could only keep flashing and move to avoid the attack of the turtle.
"For the sake of Luo Shu." Jiang Hanye answered honestly.
"Isn't that it? I think you are all in the same group!" The turtle became even more angry. It suddenly swept its heavy tail and swept it to Jiang Hanye's waist. There are hard and sharp scales on the tail of the turtle. If it is swept, Jiang Hanye will lose a few taels of meat, and he may even lose his life.
"Who are you with? Can you tell me what happened before?" Jiang Hanye asked urgently.
"It's not you human beings. You ran to steal Luo Shu while I was sleeping and got a bunch of psychopaths!" Xuangui said angrily, "I hate you!"
Jiang Hanye became more and more confused. He turned his head to look at Jin Danzi and wanted to get some answers and clues from him, but at this point, the turtle hit his head. Jiang Hanye dodged and dodged, but he was knocked over by the turtle.
Although the turtle is a turtle, its body is very sharp. After knocking over its opponent, it stepped on it and said, "Give me back Luo Shu quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Jiang Hanye said helplessly, "I think you are really wrong. Luo Shu is not here, otherwise why should I come here?"
Xuangui was stunned. Yes, if Luo Shu was in Jiang Hanye's hand, he would have no need to come back. Thinking of this, Xuangui also felt as if he had indeed wronged others, so he loosened his feet, turned his back, and said angrily, "Even if you are not with them, I don't like you human beings!" That's what you are saying!"
"Hey, old man, can you speak politely?" Jin Danzi shouted at the turtle from afar.
The turtle was already angry, and he was even more angry when he heard Jin Danzi's words. He hummed and turned his head to stare at Jin Danzi: "Thanks, you are still Jin Danzi to help these sinister human beings!"
