Chapter 42 The Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 1)

Two minutes later, Aning stopped breathing and died in my arms.The unpredictable pretty face in the messy short hair was frozen with a surprised expression, and we surrounded her until she finally died, calm down, and the time seemed to freeze.

Suddenly I felt that everything had stopped, and my heart was sorrowful, and I could not cry, but my chest seemed to be blocked by something.

This happened too quickly.

Although it was dangerous along the way, I expected someone to have an accident, but I never thought that this woman would die, and died so easily, so suddenly.Nothing happened, and it happened. The person who was still talking just died like that.And it is really dead, we have no chance of saving.

I didn't believe the situation in front of me at first, thinking that I was dreaming, how could this woman die?She is so strong, gorgeous and cunning, with a weak appearance but a strong inner heart. Although I don't like her, I sincerely admire her.If you are going to die, everyone here is stronger than me, and the one who is most likely to die is me.

But she was indeed dead, right in front of me, so easily, really, and casually died.

All of a sudden, I felt like I was beaten back to the original form. Although the incidents were all dangerous, several of us rushed in. Even when I went out alone in Qinling, I barely came back alive.I once thought that after these things, people like us are already very powerful and have considerable experience. As long as we are together, although we will encounter danger, most of us can cope with it. Even if we are going to die, we should die. The most dangerous place in the ancient tomb.But now, Aning died so easily on a snake.I suddenly realized that, right, people are inherently fragile animals, whether it is stuffy oil bottles, Panzi, or me, in this place, death is still death, no matter how good the skill is, no matter how rich the experience is, it is useless.

This is the law of reality, not the plot in a novel or a movie. As long as we encounter such a thing, we will all die, even if it is a stuffy oil bottle, if we stand by the waterfall, we must have died just now!

I looked up at the dense jungle in front of me, and suddenly felt terrified fear and despair.At that moment, I just wanted to get out of my legs and escape from this place.

At this time, the sky finally lighted up. The sun was shining down from the side of the canyon, and the surroundings were lit up. The water in front was surging. The water curtain splashed by the waterfall formed a thin white cloud over the dense rainforest under the sunlight fog.

The beauty is still there, but the beauty is gone.

Pan Zi is a man who sees through life and death. Although it is also a shameful look at this time, he is more calm than us, but he is seriously injured and he can't say much. He told us that this was an accident, although it was very Suddenly, we also have to accept. I do n’t know if there is any other kind of snake here. It is not appropriate to stay for a long time. Let ’s go and find a clean place and think of a way.

I remembered that the oil bottle had just killed the cockscomb snake, and I also felt a little more stunned. I turned my head to see the snake corpse floating on the water, but found that the body was gone.This kind of snake is said to have revenge on killing the same kind of things. It is endless, strange and abnormal. It is indeed dangerous to stay here. Thinking of Anin's misfortune, he can't stand it anymore.

Suddenly, I couldn't bear to throw Aning's body here, and I got up on my back. The fat man lifted up Panzi. A few people dared not go into the jungle anymore, so they walked along the edge of the canyon.

No one can chat, and fat people ca n’t sing folk songs. I do n’t even know why they have to move forward.There is a blank in my mind.

One foot deep, one foot shallow, walked forward in a trance for more than ten minutes, but could not find a dry place for us to rest.The sun is getting higher and higher, the coolness of the heavy rain last night is gone, everyone is reaching the limit, too tired, a night of rushing, fighting, climbing trees, death, escape, even the iron man has no strength, even more terrible What's more, as the temperature rises, the humidity here becomes very large, the fat man can't stand this, he panting, and finally it becomes Pan Zi helping him.

While thinking about whether to put it up to rest on the spot, suddenly the canyon in front appeared a downward slope, the rainwater stream on the ground became very urgent and went down the slope, we carefully followed the stream down, only Going down to the bottom of the slope, you can see the exit of the canyon in front of us.

The trees outside were sparse, and they were all black marshes with a length of more than two hundred meters, and then slowly began to thicken, followed by a large aquatic rain forest soaked in swamps, all of which are not tall but extremely lush. Classes, intertwined, unfathomable.

Chapter 43—Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 2)

We all looked at each other, and a fateful feeling came. It turned out that to the exit of the so-called canyon, we only had more than ten minutes left last night, and we actually chose to stop. If we insisted on going at that time, it might end up. It's completely different.

I walked a few steps further and came to the edge of the swamp. Looking at the swamp from here, the view is limited, not as broad as we saw at the top of the valley outside.If you are not walking along the mountain wall, you do n’t know that you are out of the valley. There is still a dense forest in front of you. It feels like a continuation of the canyon.Of course, there are differences. The more and more you feel at the foot, the water gets deeper and deeper, and the underground sludge becomes more and more untenable.

Fortunately, there was a large flat stone in the shallow part of the swamp, which protruded abruptly over the swamp without flooding it.We are very surprised that there will be such a big stone here, wading carefully over it, and climbing up, only to find that this huge stone is carved with complicated decorative lines, and there is a very huge shadow under the water, It seems to be part of several large statues side by side.

This is an entrance to the Western Queen City. The Western Queen is the king of the Western Regions. For a long time, she was the absolute spiritual leader of the Western Regions. The statues on the city defense buildings here are used to spiritually deter envoys.Of course, after so many years, this kind of statue is naturally impossible to save under the scouring of rain.

At first glance, when I looked at the ancient lines on the stone, I felt that they were very similar to those in Angkor Wat. Upon closer inspection, I found that they were not the lines of Khmer Buddhism, but because the stone was also blackened by wind and rain Gray, looks particularly old and mysterious.

I was thinking that if there is a collapsed statue here, if there are other relics under the swamp, I heard the fat man say hello and let us look at him.

We turned our heads and saw that there was a huge dark shadow in the dark black marsh in front of the sun in the sun. Something seemed to be calm, it seemed to be stone, and some were completely underwater.When I looked at the telescopic bottle and the binoculars with a telescope, I was surprised to find that all the shadows under the swamp seemed to be all broken walls, all the way to the center of the swamp.

The ruins of the ancient city of Queen West were actually buried under this swamp.

"There should be a very lush ancient city in this valley. After the disintegration of the Western Queen Motherland, the ancient city was abandoned, the drainage system collapsed, the groundwater surged, and the backflow of thousands of years of rainwater with mud and sand sludge The city was submerged under water. It seems that the size of the West Queen City is very large, and what we are seeing now is only a rare place. "The dull oil bottle said lightly.

I also have some shocks. It is quite common for the ancient city to be submerged by water. This swamp is actually quite small. The ancient city at that time had already developed to the edge of this basin, indicating that the civilization at that time had reached its heyday.But if that's the case, isn't the West Queen's Palace also in the sludge underwater, how do we get in?

However, thinking of Wen Jin ’s notes, this swamp was not formed for a year or two. In her team in the 1990s, Huo Ling entered the West Queen Palace, also after heavy rain, then there should be a way to go in It's just that we haven't reached that situation yet.As long as we go deeper, I believe there are always traces for us to see.

Chapter 44: Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 2)

The stone was relatively dry. I put Aning's body down. Several people were exhausted and sat down to rest.

I took off my clothes and spread them on the stones to dry. The fat man wanted to start a smoke-free stove, but he could not find any one after turning over his luggage. It seemed that he lost his light last night when he was in chaos. The cotton wool on the can made up.Unexpectedly, the swamp here turned out to be salt water. It seems that the water system of the nearby large salt marsh is connected. Fortunately, the rainwater was washed down from the canyon, and there is basically no taste in the mouth. Otherwise, we may even have problems drinking water.I first put a few sterilized tablets and cooked some tea.Then rinse your body with water.

Soaked in the water all night, the skin on the body was wrinkled, the shoes were taken off, and the feet were all soaked in white.Even if I tightened the upper, and after taking off my socks, I could still see small things like ants sucking on my feet, scalding them with a dagger, and looking at them, I couldn't see any bugs.

However, if there is salt water in the swamp, the number of insects should be relatively small, at least it is unlikely that there are salt water frogs, which is great news for us to enter the depths of the swamp.

Pan Zi handed me his cigarette and said it was soil smoke. When he asked Zhaxi separately, he could get rid of dampness.In this damp method, people will soak in a week, and take a few mouthfuls, so as not to get old and not to go.

I picked it up and smoked it, the cigarette was wrapped in a plastic bag, but after such a toss last night, it was also damp, and I took a few breaths and it was terrible, and the tears were flowing, but I did feel it, I did n’t know it was physiological It's still psychological. It makes me feel awake a lot, and the fatigue is not so obvious.

The fat man also asked him for it, and Pan Zi pinched him half.He lighted up a few bites and disappeared, and asked Pan Zi to stop giving.At this time we saw the dull oil bottle silent, looking at the swamp on the side thoughtfully, Pan Zi probably felt less embarrassed about him, and he handed him half of it.I thought he wouldn't take it. I didn't expect him to take it, but I didn't order it, but put it in my mouth and chewed it.

"I depend, brother, don't spoil things if you don't smoke." The fat man protested. "This thing is not for eating."

"You know a fart, eating tobacco is more vigorous than smoking. In Yunnan and Myanmar, people chew more." Pan Zidao, but after he was puzzled, looked at the oil bottle. "But you don't look like a brother. Cigarette gun? How do you know chewing tobacco leaves? Have you ran across the ship? Or have you been in a mine? "

The oil bottle shook his head and chewed a few bites before spitting tobacco on his hand and smearing the wound on his palm.I glanced at it, and I saw that the skin of his palms turned white, although there was no bleeding, but obviously the high temperature here also made the wound difficult to heal. After finishing the application, he looked at Pan Zi. Pan Zi used suspicion and distrust His eyes were fixed on him, but he still didn't show anything, turned his head to look at the swamp on the side, and ignored us.

We are also used to this situation, and the stuffy oil bottle seems to be indifferent to our situation, but I understand that a large part of these problems even he does not know the answer, "A person who appears out of thin air has no past, no future. It seems that he has no connection with this world ", this is his evaluation of himself, and occasionally think about it is very apt.

Taking off lightly, coupled with the evaporation of water from my body, I felt a trace of comfort, and I felt a little slow down. The fat man took out the compressed dried jerky for us to eat, and we chewed on the tea and did n’t know if it was What a taste, in short, filled the stomach.When his stomach was full, he was sleepy, so Pan Zi put up a place with his backpack and the contents inside to block the sunlight. He sent his whistle, and we indented a few.Everyone knows that after entering the swamp, they may never have a chance to rest again. Now that they have a good night's sleep is a kind of welfare, and there is no superfluous idea. When they lie down, their eyes are almost dark and they fall asleep.

The night was dim, and I didn't know how long I slept.Waking up in a daze, he found that it was dark and sticky all around, rubbing his eyes, and found that it was dark and raining again.Pan Zi fell to the luggage on one side and fell asleep. The fat man snored next to me, and the oil bottle slept deeply with his face inward.

The fuel cans in the distance are still burning, but the blue of the rainwater can't shine far.I took out the wind lamp to light the flame, and then wanted to wake up several other people, but at this time I found something wrong.

It turned out that the sleeping bag wrapped in Aning's body did not know when it was opened. The upper body of Aning was exposed, as if sleeping there quietly.(To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
