Chapter 119

After being thrown into the water like dumplings, the unconscious water shadow woke up immediately.

As soon as I woke up, I subconsciously opened my mouth and immediately poured bitter and astringent cold water into my mouth.

"Ah -- poof!"

When the water shadow instinctively opened her mouth and spewed a mouthful of water, something the size of a basin hit her, and the splashed water rushed on her face, so that she had to close her eyes again as soon as she saw the fire.

My head hurts.

Whoever gets a stick on the head will feel pain when he wakes up.

It's not only painful, but also buzzing.

The indescribable pain made the water shadow want to scream, but as soon as her mouth opened, the bitter water poured into her mouth, she could only close it again.

Where is this?

The water shadow can clearly feel that she is soaking in the water now. Maybe something holds her and can make her float on the water like a gourd. With the continuous sound of splashing water, she swings around.

Then one hand took her hair, so that she finally avoided the bad luck of facing down.

She barely opened her eyes, and then saw some torches.

Under the fire, the earthworms that captured her alive were jumping down from the height one by one.

On the water beside her, there were some black wooden pots floating, and there was a lantern in the distance.

The appearance of these wooden pots can only be seen in ancient TV.

Those earthworms that jumped down one by one jumped in the wooden basin accurately.

It's common sense that a wooden basin can float on the water. It's no surprise.

Strangely, these wooden pots, which should have been able to bear up to 30 or 50 kilograms, suddenly sank after the earthworms weighing more than 100 kilograms jumped inside, and then floated up and steadily dragged them.

The buoyancy of the water is quite large, some like the Dead Sea -- the dead sea?

When I thought of this, the water shadow suddenly understood something.

After studying the Tarim Basin, geologists have long given a clear conclusion that a large amount of water can be found by digging down two meters in the lowest part of the basin. The salt concentration in the water is even higher than that of the dead sea. Just take a stick and stir it in the water, lift it up and shake it in the wind, and you can find a layer of crystals connected to it.

This is the world-famous underground Dead Sea.

But it has never been developed, because it is covered with the thinnest two meters of saline alkali shell, yellow sand, etc.

In the desert, it's like a fool's dream to transport all these things away.

It seems that I have been brought to the underground Dead Sea. No wonder I can't sink. But no one thought that there are still some monsters living below - when the water shadow thought of here, I only felt a pain in my hair, and half of my body was lifted from the water by the earthworm with her hair.

The water shadow reluctantly looked up and found that the earthworm picking her hair was the one who plotted against her.

On the desert outside, the earthworm's eyes are very small and look like they are going to degenerate. The pupil is covered with a gray omentum, which is no different from being blind.

But when he came to the dark environment, his eyes were very bright, and even gave off a white cold light.

Suddenly, the water shadow finally figured it out: these people lived underground for many years without sunshine, so their eyes began to gradually degenerate - it is said that earthworms were also active on the ground at that time before they became the earthworms we see now. Later, because they wanted to adapt to the living environment and turn to the underground for life, they didn't need their eyes and nose, and slowly degenerated.

Obviously, the earthworms seen by the water shadow are much more "lucky" than the real earthworms. At least they can go to the desert occasionally and ride camels. They also have the instinct of male reaction when they see beautiful women.

Anyway, the dark underground is the world of these people.

In the future, will I become the same as them? If I don't die... The water shadow stared at the earthworm, and the idea suddenly came into my mind.

She completely ignored that if human beings want to degenerate into earthworms, they can't be formed in thirty or fifty years, at least for several lifetimes.

"Come here, what are you doing?"

Just when the water shadow was thinking, the earthworm suddenly shouted and scolded at the back of her head: "hide so far, do you want grandpa to come to you..."

The sound of earthworms is a little shrill, like a poisonous snake spitting a letter. It has a hissing sound, which is very ugly.

He then scolded something. The water shadow didn't understand, but he understood one thing: when the earthworm rode on her, it was slapped away by other earthworms (it seems that it is the earthworm boss) and scolded. She couldn't understand what they said during their communication at that time.

Water shadow thought that was their language. Now he knows that they can also speak "human language". However, due to some rules, they can't speak in the outside world. They can only communicate in their unique language.

Now that they have returned to their world, they are no longer afraid to reveal anything, and they begin to speak human words.

Although the sound of earthworms drinking and scolding is very ugly, it has a strong bandit spirit: only those horse thieves and bandits in the early days would call themselves Grandpa. Now fashionable young people, who doesn't call themselves Laozi?

You are not only blind, but also out of date in swearing -- when the water shadow thought of here, she suddenly felt very interesting and wanted to laugh. Just when a smile worse than crying appeared on her face, an orange lightning suddenly lit up in front of her!

Lightning is very white. How can it be orange?

No matter what color the lightning is, it has the same characteristics, that is, it will disappear quickly before your eyes catch it.

The orange red lightning also lit up in the pupil of the water shadow. After it disappeared quickly, she saw a strange scene again.

Some familiar scenes: the earthworm picking her hair suddenly flew up, and the blood in her neck rushed out like a fountain. Under the fire red flame, it was like a charming Epiphyllum, which bloomed and withered in an instant.

She once cut off people's heads and cut eleven in succession. When each head was cut off, it would produce such beautiful flowers.

However, the speed at which she cut people's heads was incomparable with the speed at which the lightning cut down earthworms.

Even, the water shadow can guarantee that after the earthworm's head flies up, the wound on its neck is absolutely smooth and horizontal, just like cutting tofu with a knife.

The red lightning, a knife light, turned orange under the light of the torch. Because it was too fast, it looked like lightning.

Whoa, whoa -- poop!

When a bloody rain with a strong smell of blood fell on the water, the head of the earthworm also fell down.

But the body of the earthworm squatted in the wooden basin, picked the hair of the water shadow in his hand, never fell, as if he still had life.

Quiet.

All the earthworms who talked a lot just now, after the earthworm's head moved, all the sounds solidified and couldn't even hear the gasp.

No one expected that the companion's head suddenly disappeared.

"Ah!"

In the whole world, when the earthworm head hit the water and suddenly fell into an indescribable absolute silence, a girl's scream suddenly sounded from the darkness by the water.

There was only a half sound and it stopped suddenly.

The girl's scream suddenly broke the current silence. Several earthworms holding torches subconsciously raised the torches and looked over there.

In the flickering fire, the water shadow finally saw a normal same kind.

Moreover, he is an acquaintance: Xia Xiaoyun.

It's not accurate to say it's an acquaintance, because Xia Xiaoyun has never seen her.

Water shadow has seen Xia Xiaoyun many times in the dark and studied her details.

So she's here!

After recognizing Xia Xiaoyun, the water shadow was stunned for a moment. He just opened his mouth to shout, but closed it again.

She could see that Xia Xiaoyun had fainted now.

For a girl who can be scared silly by a wolf, it seems unreasonable to see someone's head cut off without being scared out.

But even if she was stunned, she shouldn't make a sound. In this way, she would expose her whereabouts and fall into the hands of these earthworms -- the water shadow sighed when she thought of it.

She didn't regret that Xia Xiaoyun was about to be arrested. Sister Shuishui didn't have such a high consciousness. When she was unlucky, no one accompanied her -- she just felt that Xia Xiaoyun could escape from this strange place and ask for help to save her as long as she didn't speak and could escape the robbery.

To be sure, Xia Xiaoyun, hiding in the dark, saw the shadow of water.

Even if Xia Xiaoyun doesn't know the shadow of water, she can guess from sister water's outstanding temperament that she was caught. She will say it when she finds a rescuer.

In that way, sister Shui has hope of survival.

It's just too late to say anything. Xia Xiaoyun has been found. Then, together with sister Shuishui, she will be arrested and tortured by an unknown fate.

Just when the water shadow thought that the earthworms who found Xia Xiaoyun would take action against her immediately -- those earthworms only looked at Xia Xiaoyun, just like the blind man who couldn't see anything, turned around, put their right hand in their heart and bent down to salute the red lantern.

What's going on?

By the light of the fire, the water shadow could see that the earthworms looked in awe on their faces, as if they were worshipping their earthworm king.

In the darkness behind the red lantern, an old and powerful man's voice sounded, "let's go, your raft is over there."

"Yes."

When the earthworm captain gave a low answer, the sound of rowing sounded from the darkness on the left side of the lantern.

The shadow of the water saw two dark shadows and slowly appeared from there supporting the pole. When passing in front of the lantern, the two people who rowed also bent down and stroked their chest to salute.

It turned out that the raft had come long ago, but I didn't dare to come when I saw the raft with red lanterns.

But these earthworms from outside thought that the raft with red lanterns was the one to pick them up. That's why they yelled, but they lost their head.

The raft is very big, ten meters long and five or six meters wide.

Those earthworms standing in the wooden basin jumped up one after another and threw the wooden basin back to the shore.

No one paid attention to Xia Xiaoyun who fainted, just as no one paid attention to the water shadow.

When the last wooden basin passed by the shadow of the water, the old voice sounded again: "take this woman away, according to your rules."

"Yes, thank you!"

Earthworm captain bent down to thank again, this time with obvious joy.

Their rules?

What rules?

The water shadow obviously felt bad from the earthworm captain's thanks. When her hair was tight, the last earthworm had grabbed her hair and dragged her onto the raft.

The raft immediately rowed into the dark, fast, like rowing into another world.
