Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

Chapter 156 Lost in the Desert 13

"How do you feel?" Gesang couldn't help asking after seeing Jiyu eat the flesh and "heart stone" of the lizard monster: "Has there been any changes in your body?"

Jiyu first closed his eyes to feel it carefully, then shook his head and said, "There hasn't been any change yet, maybe it will take a while."

Maybe it's possible, it doesn't work at all...

Shi Yu thought bitterly, but no matter what, she had worked hard to fight for the chance of survival, even... now she can only wait.

Fortunately, after a while, the drunkard's body improved a little. The redness and swelling on his face subsided a little, and the bulging blood vessels also recovered.

From this point of view, the things they ate were useful!

After realizing this, Jiyu and Xiaowei were undoubtedly overjoyed.

Can survive!

The situation of the three of them is stable, and Wu Xiajiu and others are also studying the square where the tail of the giant snake sculpture is exposed.

The back half of the body of this giant snake sculpture is coiled, and the tail is circled around, leaving some gaps in the middle, while the exposed squares are irregularly distributed on the front or side of the tail.

The squares seem to be able to be pressed down, but among the large number of squares, they don't know which one to press first to open the exit. If they press the wrong one, the exit may never be opened again.

What's more, the mechanism here may be related to the entire Sun Palace. Once the experiment is wrong, everything here may be destroyed.

Therefore, even if all the squares are revealed, they dare not try it lightly for a while, because there is no second chance after all.

Feng Gu said: "Dr. Cao drew some patterns on the back of the coffin lid. I think it should be on a stone slab."

"But the slate disappeared too quickly. Dr. Cao may not have seen all of it. If the pattern is incomplete, then..."

I don't know if the pattern has anything to do with the square at the tail of the giant snake.

But even if there is, it is not easy to try.

Wu Xia looked at the pattern carved on the coffin lid for a long time, but didn't see any clues.

He returned to the tail of the giant snake sculpture, shook the half bottle of lizard monster venom left, raised his head and said, "Continue to smear the venom on the grid to see if there will be any changes."

Li Mao immediately said: "What if the venom corrodes all the squares?"

Wu Xiajiu: "At present, this is the only way to do it. The material of this giant snake sculpture is different from that of the lizard monster sculpture. I just tried it. There is no reaction at all when smearing the venom on the lizard monster sculpture."

"This shows that the venom and the giant snake sculpture will have a special effect when put together, which may help us find the exit."

Wild Python said: "Then test it on the squares on the edge first."

They applied it carefully, and the results were inspiring, some squares were dissolved, but some did not respond at all, and the two different effects spoke volumes.

"It works!" The old owl said happily when he saw this.

Not long after, all the squares were smeared with venom, most of them dissolved, and only a few remained, forming a pattern similar to the Big Dipper.

And the Big Dipper points to Polaris, as long as you press the square representing Polaris, the exit will appear.

Feng Gu stood up and looked at the drunkard, Jiyu and Xiaowei, and asked how they were doing.

The drunkard stood up, moved his limbs, and touched his cheeks again. Very good, the swelling on his face has almost subsided, and the red color of his body has also become much lighter, indicating that the toxin is fading in his body.

The same goes for Jiyu and Xiaowei.

Since the bodies of the three people are fine, Feng Gu decided to open the exit now and leave the tomb of the sun.

Wu Xia pressed the grid representing the North Star for a long time, and then took two steps back, only to hear the sound of "bang" continuously, and the machine bracket was moving.

Soon, a dark hole appeared in the middle of the snake's tail.

Go on.

Wu Xiajiu waited for others to walk in one after another.

At first, the passage in the cave was as high as a person, but gradually, as they walked further and further into the passage, the height and width began to shrink.

In desperation, they had no choice but to change from standing to crawling, and they climbed a long distance like this. The eyes were extremely dim, and the space was narrow and closed, which made people feel depressed and irritable.

Sometimes even Wu Xiajiu doubts whether this channel is correct or they have found the wrong way out.

"Damn, my hand hurts." Li Mao cursed in a low voice. After climbing for so long, his knees and palms were so painful from the rough dirt.

"Stop talking nonsense, this place is simply not for people." The drunkard also clicked his tongue.

At this time, Gesang's voice came from the front: "The passage seems to be narrower, lower your body..."

Originally, there were still some gaps on the left and right sides of the tunnel for crawling forward, but now the width of the tunnel narrowed again, and they began to become restrained, their bodies seemed to be squeezed.

After persisting in this way for a while, the passage gradually widened again, leaving gaps on both sides.

Wu Xiajiu heaved a sigh of relief and temporarily stopped to rest for a while.

The same is true for other people. After all, crawling and walking on all fours consumes a lot of their physical strength.

Fang Zi took a rest in an awkward position, and muttered in a low voice, "How long do we have to climb, and how long do we have to climb before we can get out of this passage?"

"Is this really the exit? Lord Lord, that's the way King Loulan made himself out of the Tomb of the Sun."

Thinking about how King Loulan crawled out after he got out of the replicants, I always feel that it is unreasonable.

Wu Xiajiu: "At that time, Loulan City was destroyed, and everyone moved to live underground. Few people should know about the third floor with the Sun Tomb."

"With a shortage of manpower, King Loulan still has to hide his departure, so naturally he doesn't dare to bring too many people to dig the tunnel."

"What's more, this is underground, and the further you go underground, the harder it is to dig."

"It's not easy for King Loulan to lead people to dig out such a passage. You can just leave, and the rest is not important."

At that time, King Loulan must have been eager to find a place where he could continue to survive.

As for this passage...

During the crawling process, Wu Xiajiu used his palms to sense the soil up, down, left, and right. The soil in the narrow passage is hard, so it must be difficult to dig.

But the soil layer is not static, as long as you climb through this stage, it should become spacious and easy later.

Wu Xiajiu's guess was correct. After they rested enough and continued onward, the road behind the passage gradually became wider and higher.

Until they could stand upright and walk, the soil texture around them felt slightly moist, and they seemed to be able to smell water vapor in their noses.

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help being shocked, is this about to reach the underground waterway?

Sure enough, after they walked a further distance, they could already clearly hear the sound of water rushing by.

Also, the moist air covered their dry skin, which made people feel a little relaxed after entering the desert.

It's like a thirsty fish on the beach finally meets the sea water after high tide, and the spirit is suddenly active.

But relaxation is temporary, and there may be unknown dangers ahead. Wu Xiajiu calmed down his mind and body, and then continued to focus on walking forward.

Not long after, they came to the end of the passage - standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, there was a very steep slope below, and a shallow underground river flowed in the middle of the slope.

The sound of running water they heard came from here.

How to go down this steep slope is naturally not difficult for them.

After Wu Xiajiu carefully climbed down the rock, he stood on the open space on the bank of the underground river. Only then did he have time to look around. The place was as dark as the passage, and a flashlight or searchlight was needed.

The entrance of the passageway they came down was near the top of the mountain wall on the side of the underground river, but in fact the overall height is not too high, only about five or six meters in total.

And the width of the underground river plus the banks on both sides is only about three meters.

The river where he is standing now is narrow and shallow, so there is a place to step down temporarily on both sides of the underground river, but Wu Xiajiu looked forward with a flashlight, and the width of the underground river in front of him changed.

Shi Shangzuo came to Wu Xiajiu's side, and said in a low voice: "Be careful on the next journey, the underground river is buried deep under the desert, and it may be more dangerous than above the desert."

"Also, be careful with that Ah Ye. I suspect that he is also a passenger, but just like me before, he disguised himself as an NPC after entering the world under the car."

"He doesn't feel right to me..."

They encountered many dangers along the way, such as desert female ghosts, mole crickets, lizard monsters, sand people, etc. Both Xiaowei and Feng Gu were injured a lot, but Ah Ye, who was following Captain Feng Gu, was still weak in both skills and mind. nice look.

Shi Shangzuo sometimes inadvertently observed Ah Ye's attitude of coping, and always felt that something was out of harmony.

It felt like he couldn't ignore it, which made him feel wrong, and he couldn't think of any other possibility except to be a passenger disguised as an NPC.

Shi Shang said: "If you can get a high-speed rail ticket and pretend to be an NPC, your ranking in the overall ranking of passengers will not be low."

"This train is quite special. It's not surprising that some passengers wanted to pretend to participate. It would be fine if he was simply pretending to be an NPC to gain convenience, but if he had other purposes..."

Although it seems a bit overthinking to say this, but the heart of defense is indispensable.

Wu Xiajiu nodded calmly, and said in a low voice, "I understand."

In fact, he also sensed that something was wrong with Ah Ye. Since Ah Zuo told him, it means that this may be more than 90.00% true, and there is a passenger hidden in the NPC.

Not much to say, almost all the others climbed down from the entrance of the cave.

They walked forward through the water.

The underground river buried deep under the desert was icy cold. When they walked a distance ahead, the river banks on both sides gradually narrowed and narrowed until there was no place to step down, so they could only step into the river.

Fortunately, the underground river channel is very shallow, but it does not reach the ankle.

But even so, the further they walked, the more they felt a chill extending up the soles of their feet and ankles, icy legs and bodies.

feeling bad.

This feeling is as unbearable as walking in the desert.

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help exhaling a breath.

Lu Nan said on the side: "This is really a difficult journey. I checked the time and it is already the fourth day. Even though it is the fourth day, it feels like a long time has passed."

And then, there are still so many days to survive.

Going further, the underground waterway gradually appeared a little different.

——Things shining with white light appeared on the wet mountain walls on the left and right sides. The things seemed to be no more than half the size of a finger, emitting a faint white light.

After they walked all the way from the waterway, the number changed from small to large.

Not long after, the mountain walls on both sides were full of these things, located in the middle of the mountain wall, densely packed, illuminating the surroundings.

Even if they turned off all the flashlights and searchlights at this moment, they must be able to see the situation inside the waterway clearly.

"What is this?" Shiyu couldn't help but asked softly.

"Who knows what it is, it's better not to get close to it." The drunkard frowned, and by the way, he scanned the white glowing things with the flashlight in his hand.

"Wait, don't..." Before Gesang could stop him, the dim yellow light of the flashlight had already shone on.

Suddenly, those white things seemed to flicker for a moment, and then some of those swept by the flashlight began to tremble slightly as if they were disturbed.

The drunkard hastily removed the flashlight.

"Fuck, what's going on, I took a flashlight just now and it's fine, why now..."

Wu Xiajiu guessed that it might be because the quantity of these things was too small just now.

And as they got deeper into the waterway, the number of these things on the mountain wall increased, and the movement and light they made when they walked had an impact on these things, making them gradually wake up.

These things were alive, and it was just a coincidence that they quivered as the flashlight passed them by.

Sure enough, even though the drunkard moved the flashlight away, these things that were shining with white light were still trembling. If you look carefully, it's not the lights that are flickering, but these things are moving.

Wu Xiajiu squinted his eyes and stared at it. After a while he opened his eyes and said, "These things are..." moths.

Before he could finish speaking, the rustling sound continued to sound, as if the things inlaid on the mountain wall fluttered and flew up one after another, as if there were countless fluorescent lights flying into the sky, the scene was dreamy and beautiful.

But often beautiful things hide murderous intentions.

These white-glowing moths are slowly flying forward in the space of the underground waterway like a long glowing belt. Wu Xiajiu and the others were surprised for a moment at first, and then they quickly reacted and were on guard, lest these Moths will come at them.

But obviously, they were overthinking this time, and the white glowing moths ignored them, and just flew forward on their own, in the same direction as theirs.

It seemed that there was no danger, Wu Xiajiu and others lowered their vigilance, and just followed these slow-flying moths and continued walking.

After a while, the water channel began to widen, and the water level of the underground river seemed to start to rise.

The water level rose from their ankles to their calves, and after a while, it reached their knees. It became difficult for them to move through the water because the resistance became greater.

"Tsk, it's so difficult to walk. Could it be that King Loulan swam out at that time?" Wild Mang said with an ugly expression.

Tang Yunsi helped his eyes when his feet became unstable, and said with a frown, "Underground waterways are not static. Hundreds of years and thousands of years have passed. It is normal for underground waterways to undergo great changes, such as diversions and rising water levels. possible."

"Perhaps when King Loulan left this underground waterway, the water level of the underground river was very low, and there were even no rivers flowing through it at some stage..."

"This place is in the deepest part of the desert. It must have been formed a long time ago. Just like these moths glowing white, I have never seen them in terms of shape or characteristics."

"They can survive in the waterways of underground rivers, but they may not be able to survive in the desert."

After all, one is a humid space and the other is dry, but two completely different environments can coexist here at the same time, one up and one down...it's incredible.

If the time and place didn't allow it, if Tang Yunsi found this wonderful place in the real world, he would definitely want to stay here and study it carefully.

They continued to move forward, and the water level rose again after reaching their knees, but they were no doubt relieved that they did not go below their thighs.

Furthermore, the sound of water flowing in my ears became louder, and it seemed that the water flow gradually became more turbulent.

If you don't support each other while walking in it, you will fall into the water if you are not careful, and you will be shocked by the icy cold river water, and you will shiver, and then you will feel even more uncomfortable.

"How long, how long do we have to walk in the water? It's so cold." Shiyu's lips turned white, she was walking completely by instinct now, her legs were numb from the cold, and the nerves in her head were also frozen The river water was pulsating and pulsating, excruciatingly painful.

Ji Yu once again regretted why he set foot on this train. The torture of nature is sometimes more unbearable than the surprise of ghosts.

She was afraid that she would lose consciousness and fall into the water in the next second, and if no one helped her, she would most likely choke and suffocate.

Mi Zheng glanced at her and said: "I have to go for a long time, stop now, do you want to go back?"

They have already traveled a long way in the underground waterway, and Dr. Cao is not behind. Mi Zheng just said this, and of course he knows that it is impossible to go back when it rains.

Timely Yu gritted his teeth and continued to persist.

But at this moment, Shi Shangzuo's expression changed, he looked forward and said, "The direction of the water flow has changed..."

Not only that, but the flow rate has also been accelerated a lot.

He could clearly feel the direction of the water flow moving rapidly to the right, which meant that there was a sharp turn ahead, and the water flow was falling...

"Hurry up, walk over slowly in groups of two or three." Shi Shangzuo handed Wu Xiajiu his hand, and the two of them held it, and walked forward cautiously along the force of the water.

The others obeyed.

As the distance got closer, Wu Xiajiu saw the group of white moths flying downwards, and obviously, there was a small water waterfall where the moths disappeared.

This discovery caused Wu Xiajiu's expression to change. There was no place to stay on either side of the underground river, so they could only walk in the water.

How will they go down if there is a fast-flowing water waterfall?

It is dangerous if you are hit by an impact on a stone in the water.

But now they can only move forward and cannot stop.

Fortunately, the phrase "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain" is true.

When carefully wading across the river to the vicinity of a small waterfall, Wu Xiajiu inserted the keel of a prop into the bottom of the water to fix his body, but looked with his head——

On the mountain walls on the left and right sides of this waterfall, there are very thick tree trunks, intertwined and intertwined, extending to the bottom of the waterfall.

Looking far away, there are still some tree trunks growing on the gentle water channel below. If you use the tree trunks as a place to stay, you can go down.

The trunk of the tree is lush with branches and leaves, Wu Xia took a long look and found that the thinnest branch was as thick as a human thigh.

What kind of tree is this that actually grows in the underground waterway?

But in any case, they were able to climb down through the trunk.

After discussing for a while, Wu Xiajiu and others tied ropes on their bodies as a support point for each other. If one foot slipped and fell, the other person could pull the rope in time to make up for it.

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo are naturally connected to each other.

They grabbed a branch and climbed down. Next to it was a rushing water waterfall. The water splashed in all directions, and many drops of water fell on the trunk. The hands and feet felt slippery, so they had to be careful.

When he got down to a position a little higher in the middle, Wu Xiajiu suddenly stopped his movements, and he seemed to hear sounds other than the sound of water flowing and them crawling down.

what is that?

It seems to be nearby.

Shi Shangzuo also stopped his movements, and said in a low voice: "There is something abnormal..."

Before the words fell, the dense branches and leaves next to it trembled slightly, as if something was about to emerge from behind.

At this time, almost everyone had already climbed on this thick and intertwined tree trunk, not only Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang left, but other people's ears also heard rustling sounds.

Suddenly, Lao Xiao yelled in the direction of the scientist Nie Su: "Get out of the way!"

He saw something moving swiftly towards the scientist from behind the dense foliage.

Nie Su's pupils shrank, and he let go of his grip on the branch to dodge sideways. The thing flashed in front of his eyes and jumped into the water. In just a few seconds, it was enough for Nie Su to see what it looked like clearly.

——It was a lizard with a black body, about the size of a palm, and a white pattern on its back.

The thing opened its mouth wide to bite him, but now fell into the water.

Before Nie Su could speak, more small black lizards began to emerge from behind the branches and leaves. The smallest was as big as a palm, and the largest was no more than half an arm long.

They seem to live in the mountain wall behind the branches and leaves. From the gaps in the branches, there are many holes in the mountain wall.

And these little black lizards crawled out of it.

Wu Xiajiu waved one away with props, took a closer look and shouted: "These black lizards seem to be juvenile lizards with human faces on their backs, and there are also human face patterns on their backs."

what?

After Wu Xiajiu finished speaking, the others couldn't help but change their faces and turn blue.

The infancy lives here, what about the adults?

These juvenile black lizards attacked so ferociously, they were hanging on the branches at this moment, their hands and feet were restricted, and they had nowhere to hide.

We can't stand still here.

Wu Xiajiu looked at the height from here to the water surface, and said, "Jump down, and swim to the opposite branch, where it's a bit gentler..."
