Chapter 196 132 Coward
Chapter 196 132. Coward
The four people were walking in the moonlit woods. They did not hold up torches, but were illuminated by a simple blue stream of water on the head of Jasmine who was leading the way.
Their march was actually quite quiet. Even Siatt, who had horse hooves, didn't make a lot of noise when he wasn't running, let alone Miss Anna, who was wearing traditional Nali clothes.
Although she was not wearing complicated high heels, even wearing ordinary lady's flat shoes to walk on such a mountainous road was very reluctant.
She was always moving very slowly and could not keep up with the people in front of her, but she was very strong and said nothing, just trying her best to follow everyone's pace.
Fisher discovered her embarrassment. Strangely enough, his "Fisher intuition" always felt that Anna was very dangerous when he first saw her, but after getting to know her, he just thought that she was an ordinary lady. , without any means of resistance.
Apart from her extraordinary beauty, there is nothing else outstanding about Anna.
Speaking of which, she looked exactly like a person from the Western Continent, and she herself once said that she was a human from the Southern Continent. Fisher had seen humans from the Southern Continent, and they roughly looked like they were wearing grass skirts. There should be a certain gap between the appearance of people who use natural dyes to draw complicated patterns and those of people from the Western Continent.
After suppressing the doubts in his mind, Fisher reached out to her in a nonchalant manner, as long as she could keep up.
"Is this underground river really that far away, Jasmine?"
Siatt looked at the constantly flowing blue water above Jasmine's head. It kept pointing to Lake Nali in the distance without any signs of deviation. This also showed that there was indeed a channel in Lake Nali that could lead back to the sea. Just go.
They had been walking for more than half an hour, but still found nothing.
"Well, I don't know either. I should be able to find it if I walk around a little bit more."
Jasmine poked the blue water on her forehead, which pointed unswervingly at the Nali Lake next to her. Fisher took a look at the endless dense forest in front of him, shook his head and said,
"No, this traveling speed is too slow, we must speed up"
After hearing this, Anna pursed her lips and said apologetically to the three of them,
"Sorry, my question."
"Otherwise, let me carry her on my back, so she can walk faster."
Fisher glanced at Siatt who spoke in surprise, more specifically, at the not-so-wide body of the horse behind her.
"you?"
As mentioned before, the bodies of Centaur horses are actually not as good as real horses. When Fisher was studying Hiatt, he felt that the part behind her was actually not wide, and it seemed a bit reluctant to use it to carry people.
"Well, if this lady isn't very heavy, I can still give it a try."
Siatt had nothing to do. This Anna walked too slowly. She had to take a break after walking a few steps. Although she didn't feel good about this lady, after getting along with her for a period of time, she felt better. There were no other problems, and there was no big problem in driving her a certain distance by myself.
"Let me give it a try."
Anna didn't show any force, and walked slowly to Siatt's side. Fisher helped her climb up on Siatt's body. The horse behind her didn't have a saddle or anything like a saddle, so she sat a little reluctantly. Anna hugged Siatt's waist with some fear. As a result, this intimate move instantly made Siatt's face turn red and she almost ran out.
"Sorry. Did I hug you too tightly?"
"It's not bad."
Fisher looked at the two ladies hugging each other with dead fish eyes. He always felt that this scene had a harmonious feeling, but it might just be his appreciation of ladies as a gentleman.
"In this case, let's move forward at full speed and try to arrive as early as possible."
"No problem, hold on tight."
"Um"
Hiatt raised the horse's hooves in front of him. Jasmine and Fisher were both in good physical condition, so it was no problem to run with all their strength.
Seeing the centaur Siatt taking a deep breath, he rushed forward.
This was the first time Fisher had seen this centaur running at full strength. The speed was really like lightning. Even on uneven mountain roads, she could walk on flat ground. It was hard to imagine her running on the grassland. How beautiful that would be.
Jasmine and Fisher looked at each other and ran quickly to follow. After all, Siatt was carrying someone on her back. Fisher and Jasmine quickly caught up with her pace, and they could still see the tightly closed With Anna holding Siatt in her eyes, this speed was really too fast for her.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
"Wait a minute, the direction has changed!"
Not long after, as they were running, Jasmine beside Fisher suddenly opened her mouth. The light blue water ring on her forehead suddenly turned in one direction. She stopped and looked at The direction the water ring points.
Siatt and Anna also stopped, but before Siatt turned around, Anna covered her mouth and almost dropped it.
"Are you okay?"
"vomit!"
Anna touched Siatt's body and walked towards the trees nearby with a pale face. She was half-bent and almost vomited out all the stomach acid.
She went up and down on the centaur's body, like riding a roller coaster, and the speed was very fast. This was like a strong emetic for Anna, who had no experience at all.
Fisher looked at Anna who was vomiting with some sympathy. Before, he was thinking that it would be cool if humans sat on the backs of centaurs to fight. But now it seems that it would be better to ride a real horse. Not only is it safe, but it’s also more stylish.
He ignored Anna and stood with Jasmine on the edge of the cliff in the jungle on the roadside. Looking in this direction, he saw that hidden by the mountains in the distance, a river like a jade belt passed through the dense forest and headed towards the distance. Go to the ocean.
This is no longer within the scope of Saint Nali, and the river is quite far away from Lake Nali. But since Jasmine’s hair ring turns here, it means that there is an underground river under this location connecting Lake Nali and Lake Nali. There is a river in the distance, but the problem is, how can we find the specific entrance?
"Let's search the area nearby to see if we can find the entrance to the underground undercurrent."
"Need not."
Anna came back with a white face, obviously she had almost vomited. She looked at the surrounding dense forest, then her nose twitched slightly, and she said to Fisher,
"I can vaguely smell the smell of water and rocks, right here. The unique smell of the cave is unmistakable."
It wasn't her who said that Fisher had almost forgotten that Anna had a very sharp nose. She could even smell her own scent through the slightly lighter perfume that Elizabeth gave her.
Fisher asked her to lead the way, and Anna followed the smell. On the distant peaks, Fisher could still vaguely see the watchtower built by the royal family. They surrounded the entire area of Lake Nari. Don't let anyone get close.
But it's night now, and they are very far away from there. Even with any detection magic, they can't be found.
"It should be right here."
Anna's voice ended their search, and they followed her for a distance. Soon, a huge stone appeared in front of Fisher's eyes. She pointed to a gap between the two large stones and said so Looking at Fisher and the others, they said.
The gap between the stones was very narrow, probably large enough for a person to pass through. Under the moonlight, the space inside was pitch black. If Anna hadn't reminded them, Fisher and the others would never have discovered this hidden location.
When they reached the top of the underground undercurrent, the hair ring on Jasmine's head basically stopped moving and pointed in the direction of the underground, so Fisher couldn't determine whether there was a real undercurrent underneath.
"Let's go and see..."
There was no other way, Fisher could only squeeze into the gap of the stone first.
But the troublesome thing is that the cane that Renee gave him was thrown away, so he couldn't use lighting magic to check the situation nearby. However, Jasmine who was following him had the ability of night vision, so she could see in the narrow place. After walking a few steps through the damp cracks in the ground, Jasmine suddenly pulled Fisher behind her.
"Fisher, there's a slope ahead."
Along the shining ring of water on Jasmine's head, Fisher looked down and found that the space in front of him had become much wider. A huge slope made of gravels in front of him led directly to the underground. From somewhere, a chilly wind came by chance, making Fisher realize that the space below was probably very large.
"There is a very large cave down there."
Fisher and Jasmine turned back to make sure Anna and Siatt were following. In the darkness, Fisher could only vaguely see the shadows of the two of them. After confirming that the two were following, Fisher Then you continued to move forward.
"Wow!"
The further down you go, the more obvious the sound of water flow becomes, and the surrounding space becomes wider. Air seems to be blowing from all directions, reflecting that this may be an extremely complex underground network, but in the darkness, Fisher also I could only follow the location of the sound of water, and from time to time I had to make sure the person behind me was lost.
"You guys, please hold hands so as not to leave."
Fisher turned around and was about to give this instruction. There were four of them, in order, Fisher, Jasmine, Anna and Siatt. Fisher looked back along the dim blue light of the water and counted the heads.
jasmine
Anna
Hiatt...
Well?
While counting, Fisher suddenly discovered that there was a figure following Siatt. That is, in the darkness, there was another person behind him?
Fisher's heart beat faster for a second, and he suddenly stopped. He stared in the direction of Siatt, but he could only vaguely see her figure and the shadow behind her. He couldn't see clearly what was behind her. Who is.
"Don't move yet"
Fisher's voice suddenly sounded. When Jasmine also noticed something was wrong and looked back, her gaze was better than Fisher's. When she saw the figure behind Siatt, her little face froze and she subconsciously pointed Siatt shouted,
"Xishiyat! There is a woman behind you!"
"Woman? Ouch! There's a ghost!!"
Fisher didn't even have time to stop him. Siatt behind him was so frightened that his face turned pale. He subconsciously raised his horse's hoof and kicked the figure behind him. Fisher didn't know whether the kick hit him, but now they were On a huge slope, with that fierce kick, the entire team's center of gravity began to tilt.
"Get me!"
Fisher secretly cried out that it was not good, and tried his best to hold the three of them up so that they would not fall, but the stones under his feet had been covered with wet water vapor and became extremely slippery. Even if he wanted to hold them up, he could not do it. He could only watch his body fall out of control towards the dark space below.
"Ahhh, Fisher!"
"Ghost!!"
"Ugh!"
For a moment, except for Fisher, the whole dark cave was silent. The three ladies screamed one after another as if a chain effect had occurred, and slid towards the depths of the cave while shouting.
In the weightlessness, Fisher tried his best to grab the people he could grab to prevent them from sliding to other places. This would also ensure that he would land first when falling to prevent them from being hurt, but in the end, Fisher only grabbed one lady in the fall in mid-air, and he didn't know who it was.
The screams continued, and Fisher and his group fell in the darkness for an unknown period of time, and then Fisher suddenly felt a substantial contact behind him.
"Plop!"
The sound of falling into the water sounded at the same time, and Fisher and his group fell straight into a certain water. The water flow was basically not flowing, more like a quiet pool of water. The sound of falling into the water sounded everywhere, indicating that all four people landed at the same time.
"Fisher!"
Molly was still very conscious, and the sound sounded a little distance away.
At this time, Fisher was still holding a soft body in his hands. The lady hugged him tremblingly. Fisher struggled to identify it and found that it was Anna who was holding him like an octopus in his arms.
"Where is Hiatt?"
Since Anna was still there, Fisher kept floating and shouted to Jasmine.
"She sank! She can't swim!"
After that, she suddenly turned in the water and swam towards the bottom of the water, trying to get Hiatt back. The floating Fisher vaguely saw the water bank in the distance, so he decided to hold Anna ashore first.
"Hmm"
Feeling Fisher start to move, Anna immediately hugged Fisher more fearfully, fearing that she would be thrown off by his movement. It can be seen that this guy is not very good at swimming.
Fortunately, the distance to the shore is not far. Fisher reached the shore after swimming for a while, and climbed out of the water with Anna in his arms.
"We are on the shore, everything is fine."
"Yeah"
"..So, let go."
In the darkness, Anna, who was soaked all over, realized belatedly that she was still holding Fisher's soaked clothes. The next second, she quickly let go and let Fisher stand up.
"Sorry."
Her face looked a little unnatural, and even her cheeks began to heat up a little, but fortunately it was too dark here, and no one could see her expression.
"Jasmine!"
"I'm here!"
Fisher had just called Jasmine, and she emerged from the cold pool in front of him like a mermaid, carrying a centaur named Hiat who had been frightened and lost consciousness. Fisher helped Hiat up, and at least all four of them were fine now.
However, who was the figure he saw behind him on the slope just now?
Fisher didn't think about it any more, because after Jasmine came ashore, the whole cave seemed to have touched some kind of switch and came alive. Lights of the same color as the fluorescence on Jasmine began to spread along the ground, and the light source similar to fireflies gradually illuminated the entire cave.
"It's lit up?"
Following the light, Fisher looked around and found that this was a dark cave room that was not very spacious. The pool in front of him looked extremely dark, and he didn't know how deep it was, let alone where it led to.
The four of them stood on the shore, waiting for the light to spread one by one, gradually spreading to the stone wall behind them, and twisted and obscure patterns appeared one by one, which looked like both pictures and words.
Anna held her soaked body and sat there without moving, but her eyes followed Fisher who unconsciously walked forward and looked at the words on the stone wall in front of her.
Yes, Fisher concluded that this was a kind of text, but it was not human, but more like some kind of sub-human civilization.
"Hey, this is the text of our whale race!"
Next to her, Jasmine, who was squatting beside the unconscious Hiatt, gently patted Hiatt's flat chest, and then a mouthful of water spurted out of Hiatt's mouth, but it was not known whether her soul was still there with that mouthful of water. Anyway, Fisher felt a little terrified when he saw the force of Jasmine's patting.
"The text of the whale race?"
Wait, a race living in the deep sea trench can actually leave their own text here?
Could it be the text left by Jasmine's aunt Muxi? This seems to make sense?
"What's written on it?"
Molly walked slowly to Fisher's side and read it word by word, but when she read the first few words, her expression suddenly became a little strange, and she looked at Fisher next to her with some difficulty.
"What's wrong? Does this involve the secret of your whale race?"
"No, no! That."
Molly blushed slightly, and then covered her face and translated awkwardly,
"The first sentence says"
"'Ahahahahaha, a coward was scared, I won't say who it is'."
Even if Jasmine said it in a very low voice, Fisher and Anna could still hear how bad the character of the whale race who recorded this speech was.
In other words, the shadow seen on the slope before was left by this whale race? It could be an illusion, a relic, or magic or a blessing from that whale race?
There is no other purpose, just to scare you once?
Isn't this a psycho?
The cave suddenly fell into an awkward silence, and for a moment, only the sound of Hiatt's breathing, which was close to a sigh, was heard.
Please vote, reward and support, this is very important to me.
Thank you very much for your support!
