Chapter 84 The Holy Well
Inside the dark castle, a group of us ran wildly like bereaved dogs in panic.

After running not far, Wang Dongyu in front suddenly stopped.

Li Yingxin didn't stop, but bumped into Wang Dongyu, covered his head and shouted, "Why don't you run away, you bastard? Stop and wait for death!"

Wang Dongyu took a deep breath, turned around and said with an ugly expression: "There is no way ahead!"

what? !

No way? !

We widened our eyes in horror. Less than ten meters away in front of us was a cliff, and the cold wind was blowing up from below, making a ghostly howling sound.

Why is there a cliff in the middle of the castle?
What is below the cliff?
When we got closer, we discovered that the cliff was actually a barrel-shaped pit, like a huge well, with a diameter of at least 50 meters.Black mist billowed in the well, and the mouth of the well was like the mouth of a monster, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

We raised our wolf eyes to shine down the well, and the light from the wolf eyes pierced the darkness like a knife.This shaft is at least tens of hundreds of meters deep, and the wolf's eyes can't penetrate to the bottom of the well, they can only shine on the rock wall cut by knives and axes, like countless ferocious monsters.

Looking at this empty and boundless underground well, I couldn't help but secretly squeezed a cold sweat: "Have we come to the entrance of hell?"

The expressions on everyone's faces were uncertain, and Gu Meidi suddenly said: "Professor Ye, Tuobagu, do you still remember what Wan Juncheng told us about the old bastard? He said that there is a mouthful in the Desert Devil City The holy well! If I guessed correctly, this should be the holy well! In other words, we have reached our destination!"

My heart beat wildly, yes, so we have reached our destination.As long as we go down to the bottom of the well and drink a few sips of holy water, the poison of the dark flower on our body will be relieved!

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly surged with blood. After all the hardships, we finally found the holy well.

As soon as Gu Meidi finished speaking, the weird roar sounded again: "Hiss... roar..."

This time we heard very clearly that the strange roar came from under the holy well.We glanced at each other, and we couldn't help showing a trace of worry in our eyes. What kind of weirdness is hidden under the holy well?What the hell is going on with this strange growling sound?Is it the devil in hell screaming?

It is strange to say that upon hearing this roaring sound, all the witches and ghosts who were chasing us stopped and surrounded the well mouth densely, but they did not dare to approach the well mouth, as if they were not allowed to step into this holy well. restricted area.

Hundreds of witch ghosts confront us, at most ten meters away from us, as long as they launch a strong attack, we will definitely die without a place to die.I have already made up my mind to fight these witches and ghosts to the death. If I can't, I will jump from the mouth of the well. I would rather fall to my death than be eaten by these disgusting witches and ghosts.

The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, the air froze as if water was about to be wrung out, we held the weapons in our hands tightly, and could clearly hear each other's heartbeat and panting.

The two sides stalemate for a while, seeing that those witch ghosts did not intend to attack us, Professor Ye waved at Lao Luo and me: "Fix the rope and get ready to go down!"

Lao Luo and I came to the edge of the holy well, and the cold wind made my hair fly, and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

I tapped the rock wall with my hand and found that the rock formations around the holy well are very hard, which should be thousands of years of sedimentary rock formations, which are very suitable for climbing.So I found a place, quickly laid down the rivets, and hung up the climbing rope.

In just a quarter of an hour, Lao Luo and I drove a total of ten rivets and prepared ten climbing ropes, allowing everyone to hang down at the same time.Our team originally consisted of eleven people, but Song Mingqiu had already died in the pagoda in the ancient city of Loulan, so now there are only ten people left.

"Professor Ye, you're ready!" I gestured OK to Professor Ye.

"Let's go!" Professor Ye put away his pistol, turned around and came to the edge of the holy well, fastened the safety buckle on his waist, and hung the safety buckle on the climbing rope.

Everyone quickly retreated to the edge of the holy well and hung on the climbing ropes in the same way.

Those witch ghosts still didn't have any intention of attacking. It seemed that this holy well was indeed a restricted area that they dared not step into.I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was entirely our luck that we ran to the edge of the holy well by mistake.If he had gone to other places, he would have been caught up by the witch and ghost long ago, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive.

"Hiss... roar..."

The devil's roar came from the bottom of the well again, and this deep shaft became a huge loudspeaker, playing the roar at a volume that was multiplied several times, making our ears buzzing, in this dark underground The depths sound particularly frightening.

At this moment, a strange scene happened.Those witches and ghosts gathered around the mouth of the well actually knelt down, yes, knelt down!They kneel in a strange posture, squatting with their hind legs bent, and their front legs kneeling on the ground.Then almost at the same moment, the heads of all the witch ghosts split into four petals, and their long scarlet tongues shot out, dancing wildly in the air, with a quite spectacular momentum.Those dense fangs shone with a cold light, and thousands of witch ghosts let out a creepy and shrill roar at the same time, the sound was like the shouting of countless hell ghosts.

The picture was so weird that we didn't dare to look at it anymore, but someone shouted: "Get down!"

A group of ten of us grabbed the climbing rope and began to rappel rapidly.Downhill is a basic skill that climbers need to master. If you have watched TV, those special forces and firefighters on TV used this method when they landed from the roof or obstacles.Lightly touch the rock wall with both feet, and the body quickly descends six or seven meters along the climbing rope, then stretch out the foot again and touch the rock wall, and then continue to descend. This way of rappelling is very fast and very fast. Fast, and not easily cut by the rock walls cut by knives and axes.

The ten of us quickly turned into ten blurred black shadows, and the black shadows turned into ten black dots, continuously falling down the holy well.We are equipped with top-notch expedition equipment. The length of this climbing rope can reach more than [-] meters. It should not be a big problem to go down to the bottom of the well.

Looking up at the mouth of the well, I saw that the huge mouth of the well has become only as big as a mouth.After descending to a certain height, the top of the head was full of floating black mist, and the mouth of the well could not be seen.Wherever I looked, there was darkness, and I had to unscrew the wolf's eyes.The ten white light beams dangled in the darkness, giving each other a sense of security, and no longer felt the suffocating loneliness.

It seems that since ancient times, this place has been such a deep black.Gently flicking it in the air with your hand, you can even see the darkness swaying like a tide, making circles and ripples.

When it reaches about 50 meters, it is the most difficult and dangerous distance.The air formed a turbulent flow here, and the cold wind roared and raged, rolling up one cyclone after another.We felt as if we had fallen into the bottom of a river full of undercurrents, eddies that pulled back and forth and made it impossible for us to move forward.

I stretched out my feet and tapped lightly on the rock wall, just as I jumped into the air, a cyclone flowed over, and I directly felt a strong suction force, and then my whole body was out of control, and I spun four or five times in the air , as if the internal organs have been misplaced.When I came back to my senses, I found that I had slammed into the hard rock wall.

"Not good!" I was still quick to react, and the moment I was about to hit the rock wall, I raised my hands to protect my head.There was a muffled bang, and I felt as if my arms had been crippled, and I was in excruciating pain. I couldn't hold on to the climbing rope for a while, and fell more than ten meters down, hanging in the air.

I screamed in my heart that I was lucky. If I hadn't reacted quickly just now, I would have hit my head directly on the rock wall. At the slightest, the head would burst into blood, and at the worst, the skull would burst and the brains would fly.

Through the turbulence zone, the dark space below is much calmer.

When I descended to 80 meters, I felt wet water vapor. My mouth was dry and my throat seemed to be smoking. I suddenly breathed moist air, and suddenly felt that the airway from my throat to my lungs was unblocked. A lot, and my head has become a lot clearer.

I was overjoyed, it seems that there is indeed water under the holy well, and the poison of the dark flower can be saved!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help speeding up the landing.A few seconds later, I was suspended in the air and could not continue to land because the length of the climbing rope had been pulled to the end.I was like a big spider hanging upside down on the rock wall, raising my wolf eyes to look down.

Below the holy well is a lake, and the clear water must be the holy water that can cure the poison of the underworld flower.The strange thing is that the entire underground lake is like a huge eyeball. The lake water is slowly rotating at a uniform speed. Looking down from above, it is like a strange eyeball slowly rotating deep underground.This feeling is a bit like looking at a three-dimensional pattern. After watching it for a long time, it seems to be sucked in by that eyeball.

I rubbed my eyes, looked up and down, and estimated the height.Fortunately, although the climbing rope has been pulled to the end, our position is no more than ten meters away from the lake, and we can jump down as long as we untie the safety buckle on our waist.Given the depth of this underground lake, it should be very safe to jump from a height of ten meters.

"Hey, Tuoba Gu, your speed is quite fast!" Wang Dongyu's figure slowly appeared in the darkness eight or nine meters away from me.

I turned around and looked around, and found that my teammates were only rappelling down one after another at this time. Unexpectedly, I was more than a minute faster than the others.I can't say that I was actually pulled by the cyclone in the middle of the journey, so I fell so fast, but my head almost exploded, and I was a little scared after thinking about it.
