Chapter 257 Eyes Staring in the Dark
Chapter 257 Eyes Staring in the Dark
"Ah! My eyes!"
The lightning made the originally dim underground river extremely bright, and Ma Fuer and a few other unlucky guys were almost blinded by the light.
In addition to this, there is the electric numbness and tingling sensation coming from the exposed skin.
When the lightning faded, Zhang Wuling turned over and returned to the boat. Looking at the rough water, he laughed and said, "A bunch of Karami, trying to scare me? Humph."
If other people encountered this kind of thing in such a closed environment, they would probably be really scared.
But he was Zhang Wuling, a man of great skill and courage, and it was impossible for any evil spirits to scare him.
"Boss, that's awesome!" Lu Liang said excitedly.
Xiao Zizai pushed his glasses and said calmly, "As expected of you, you really make me feel safe."
Feng Baobao clapped his hands and praised, "Boss, that's awesome!"
"Hey~" Zhang Wuling pressed his hand, "I'm just being modest. It's just a small favor."
Just as Zhang Wuling was showing off, the rumbling sound was heard again.
This time, it also came from above their heads. When everyone looked up, they saw pieces of stones falling down.
Pfft!Pfft!
The rocks hit the water surface, creating large splashes that became more and more dense.
"Fuck!" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but spit. "Again, rocks are falling! Who designed this? It's disgusting!"
"Stop talking so much and start skating!" Zhuge Qing said.
"Leave one person to watch the rocks above and don't let them hit the boat. The others row quickly. The range of this mechanism shouldn't be too large. We will be fine once we pass this area!" Barron shouted.
Just as they got rid of the water corpse, they encountered falling rocks again, leaving them no chance to breathe.
The person who arranged all this here is truly full of malice.
But fortunately, everything was just as Barron said. After everyone paddled hard for a while, they passed the rockfall area.
As incidents happened one after another, everyone dared not let down their guard at all, for fear that something else would happen.
But fortunately, the following period was very peaceful and I didn’t encounter any strange things or any traps.
Suddenly, Xia He pointed ahead and said, "There's light!"
At the end of the river, there is an arched cave entrance, and bright light is shining in from outside.
The moment we saw the light, we were all happy.
No one likes to stay in the dark world, not even strangers.
However, Barron poured cold water on everyone, "Be careful, it looks like there's a cliff waterfall ahead, everyone be prepared."
Cliff? Waterfall?!
Zhang Chulan panicked and asked, "What should I do? I can't fly!"
Barron was very calm and said, "It's okay. If the water below is deep enough, I shouldn't die from the fall."
Zhang Chulan: "...Brother, this is a gamble with your life!"
"True, but that's what adventure is all about. It's exciting enough, isn't it?"
"That makes sense." Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up, then turned around and hugged Feng Baobao's thigh, saying pitifully, "Sister Baoer, please take me flying!"
Feng Baobao said calmly, "Oh, don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here."
"Um..." Lu Liang's mouth twitched, "Are we left unattended?"
Clarinet nodded: "It seems so."
The speed of the water flow became noticeably faster, and everyone was getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, whether they wanted to or not.
Tang Wenlong grabbed the boat and shouted, "Be careful, it's going to rush out!"
Soon, the rubber boat rushed out along the current, the sunlight shone on it, and gravity took effect instantly.
Zhang Wuling was still the same. He hugged Xia He, stepped on the ground, walked in the air, and then landed gracefully.
Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing both knew magic, and they also had a way to come down from the air.
Those who are good at kung fu, such as Xiao Zizai, use their lightness skills to jump directly into the water after falling into the water and land steadily.
But there are people like Feng Xingtong and Lu Liang who have neither magic nor light skills, so they can only practice diving.
Fortunately, the pool under the waterfall is deep enough, and falling into the water will not be life-threatening.
Moreover, they are all extraordinary people with very strong physical fitness.
Barron emerged from the water and swam towards the shore. This experience was quite interesting for him.
"Huh, I finally got out of that cave."
Zhang Chulan observed the surrounding environment. In addition to the large forests, towering mountains could be seen in the distance.
"The terrain where we are now should be relatively low."
"Speaking of which," Wang Zhenqiu looked around, "where are we now? If we lose our bearings, it will be very dangerous."
Barron pulled out the map, silently estimated, and said, "It should be correct. Although we have deviated from the planned route, the progress should be quite fast."
After checking the time, Barron took out a red pen and started drawing on the map.
In a short while, their approximate progress and route from yesterday to today were marked out.
"We're roughly here now, about 100 meters from our target..." Barron glanced around and pointed to the front right. "We should go this way."
Barron is a master of wilderness survival, and everyone trusts him in this regard, so there are no objections.
After packing up our things, we started from the waterfall and continued forward.
However, before he had walked far, Zhang Wuling felt something strange, and instinctively turned back to look at the waterfall again.
But just this one glance made him squint his eyes.
At the mouth of the waterfall where they came out, there was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, seemingly peeping at them.
Although the distance was very far and there was mist, Zhang Wuling's eyesight was extraordinary and he was sure that he was not mistaken.
Thinking of what Zhang Chulan said last night and what Feng Baobao said just now in the underground river, I smelled a familiar stench.
So it was obvious that something was targeting them and was following them.
I just don’t know whether it is a human or... a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhang Wuling staring at the direction of the waterfall, Zhang Lingyu asked curiously.
Zhang Wuling shook his head: "Nothing, just a quick look. Let's go and continue on our journey."
The thing was far away, and it was obviously too late to go back and catch it now.
However, if the other party really targeted them, they would definitely meet again in the future, so it would be better not to alert the enemy for the time being.
Seeing Zhang Wuling suddenly turn around and continue on his way, Zhang Lingyu always felt something was wrong. He also looked back, but found nothing.
However, he understood that Zhang Wuling would not behave in such an abnormal manner if nothing happened.
But Zhang Wuling didn't say anything, and he was too embarrassed to ask further.
At the mouth of the waterfall, a pair of eyes lay in the shadows at the exit, staring at the team in the distance without blinking.
It was not until the figures of Zhang Wuling and others completely disappeared in the green sea of trees that the strange eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a weird laugh.
"hey-hey……"
