Chapter 208
Xu Heng listened to the sea cucumbers' defense voices one by one, and became more and more shaken. For a moment, he didn't know which side to believe.
Just when he couldn't help but want to respond to what Ao said, Yitu pulled him back in time.
"We have to get back to the house now."
Yi Tu said this in a serious tone. Xu Heng nodded and subconsciously looked in the direction of his gaze. She was stunned.
At some point, a hole the size of a basin appeared in the lower left corner of the iron gate, and a smaller sea cucumber was struggling to get in.
All this happened right under their noses, but they were attracted by the sounds of the sea cucumbers and were completely unaware of the impending danger.
"This door won't stop them."
After Yitu said this, he turned around and walked quickly into the inner room.
Xu Heng followed closely behind: "The door is only a small hole now. If we can find something to block it, maybe there will be..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a flower umbrella coming out of the room.
"Don't waste time, Xu Heng."
The man's voice was deep, and the eyes he looked at him were absolutely rational and calm, so much so that Xu Heng was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly felt very stupid.
Obviously, among the three, his insight and reasoning abilities were not as good as Yitu's, and his gaming experience was not as good as Huasan's.
Even if we leave aside the props and skill cards he possesses, he is indeed a burden to Yitu and Huasan.
In particular, in this god-level card field, he replaced the position that belonged to Spade King Jiang Hanyu.
Xu Heng, realizing this, felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, Huasan did not notice the subtle change in Xu Heng's expression and only said:
"It's only a matter of time before they get in. Even iron gates can't stop them. Is there anything more solid?"
"The most urgent thing is that we have to find a way to get out of here."
Xu Heng couldn't help but frown and reluctantly continued:
"But we are trapped unless there is another space in this courtyard."
At this point, Xu Heng suddenly had an idea:
"Where did Fang Qin and her granddaughter go? I remember they never came out after entering the room."
"Two possibilities."
Yitu, who was standing at the door of the old woman's room, turned to look at him:
"Or maybe they, like the first dolphin, have learned some intangible rules of the game and seemingly disappeared from our sight."
"Or... there's a cellar hidden in this room."
"We can't be sure about the former, but the latter..." Huasan smiled.
"You'll find out if you look for it."
Yitu also smiled and said, "Yes, but time is tight. I'm afraid Fang Qin will lock the cellar door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron gate outside the yard made a clanging sound as if it could not bear the weight.
Countless sharp webbed claws ran along the edge of the hole, tearing the iron sheet apart frantically, so that they successfully passed through the first barrier.
When Xu Heng saw this scene, he felt his scalp tingling.
"Quick! Close the door!"
He and Huasan closed the wooden door of the hall without any hesitation.
Before they could even insert the bolt, the next second the door was violently slammed against by the extremely fast-moving eels, and the two were almost shaken open by the force.
Yitu took the opportunity to bolt the door and said hurriedly:
"Hurry, this wooden door won't hold out for much longer!"
Huasan and Xu Heng nodded, and as soon as they left, the wooden door began to shake under the impact of the eels, and even immediately opened a gap two fingers wide.
So, the fish, through the crack in the door, was spying on them inside with its bulging dead fish eyes, which was extremely terrifying.
Xu Heng didn't dare to look anymore and followed Yi Tu and the other person into the old woman's room.
At this moment, Yitu and Huashan had already lifted up all the bedding on the bed and moved out everything in the two wardrobes.
Just as Yi Tu had guessed, the so-called cellar entrance was indeed at the bottom of the closet where the bedding was placed, and there was a very obvious pull ring on it.
Huasan hesitated for a moment, walked forward and pulled the pull ring, and easily opened the lid of the cellar with almost no effort.
Things became extremely simple, almost too simple.
This made the three of them wonder whether there was an even more terrifying existence hidden beneath this cellar, which was why the entrance level was designed to be so easy.
Looking at the deep cellar entrance, Yitu couldn't help but think of the seductive words of the turtles.
Are the old woman Fang Qin and her granddaughter really still human?
However, the turtles banging wildly outside the door did not give him more time to think or a chance to choose.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"
Huasan was the first to enter the dark cellar, followed closely by Xu Heng, and Yitu, who was slightly hesitant, brought up the rear.
Although the three knew that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance of danger below, they had no choice at all.
Because the entrance leading down was too narrow and in complete darkness, the first person to enter with an umbrella had a hard time groping and moving.
By the time Yitu went down to the cellar, the wooden door of the hall had been completely broken by the fish.
Countless monsters that looked like sharks and snakes swarmed in and arrived in front of Yitu in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, most of his body was still exposed, and it was impossible for him to close the closet door.
Seeing the catfish twisting its thick tail and opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, it was about to pounce on Yitu, and it was bound to tear off a large piece of flesh.
At the critical moment, Yitu suddenly grabbed the quilt beside the closet and covered himself with it before the snake pounced on him.
The musty smell mixed with the strong and disgusting fishy smell rushed into the nostrils.
In the darkness, Yitu groaned, and the smell of blood immediately spread in the air.
No matter how fast his mind worked or how swift his reaction was, even though there was a thick layer of quilt between them, he still couldn't avoid being bitten by the sea snake.
And it wasn't just one snakehead that bit his arm.
Xu Heng quickly noticed Yi Tu's abnormality, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly urged:
"Hurry up and get down! Yitu was bitten by those things!"
The flower umbrella at the bottom also wanted to go faster, but the further down he went, the more slippery the passage became.
He couldn't hold on to the wall at all, nor could he grab anything to gain leverage. An extremely fishy and sweet smell was rising from the bottom.
It's not the taste of blood.
However, he didn't have time to think carefully. At Xu Heng's urging, he gritted his teeth and let himself slide down.
Soon, Xu Heng felt his feet go empty, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he began to fall rapidly.
At the same time, Yi Tu, whose arms, chest and even cheeks were bitten by countless sea cucumbers, could hear the sound of his skin and flesh being torn apart in an instant due to the force of gravity.
The blood-stained bedding blocked the entrance to the cellar so tightly that the snakeheads, having lost their target, burrowed into the quilt like crazy.
However, the entrance to the cellar was too narrow, and the more the eels squeezed in, the more the quilt became blocked.
For a moment, they actually managed to stop the invasion of the sea turtles.
But Yitu knew that all this was temporary.
Because at this moment, the sea cucumbers that have sucked blood have completely lost their reason and judgment, and are almost the same as wild beasts.
However, when the blood in the air dissipated, the sea cucumbers gradually calmed down, and the remaining part of their consciousness as human beings in their previous lives awakened.
They will then know how to take out the quilt and enter the cellar one after another.
At that time, if things did not turn around, death would be waiting for them.
In the short few seconds of falling, countless thoughts flashed through Yitu's mind.
However, the flower umbrella at the bottom could not take these into account, because what was waiting for him below was an extremely sharp bayonet.
When the bayonet was completely embedded in his abdomen, Huasan was stunned for a second before the pain came like a tide, almost drowning him.
He saw that the old woman Fang Qin was holding the other end of the bayonet in her hand. There was no expression on her face, and she looked cold-blooded and almost numb.
Although the pain drained away most of his strength, anger burned fiercely in Huasan's chest, ready to explode at any moment.
It had been too long since he had been injured, and it had been too long since he had experienced the pain of suffocation, so much so that Huasan laughed out of anger.
The next second, the old woman was kicked hard to the ground, three meters away.
After doing this action, Huasan was clearly grimacing in pain, but he still didn't forget Xu Heng and Yi Tu who were above him.
He tried his best to move to the side, leaning against the wall, with half of his body immersed in cold water.
That's right, this is not an ordinary cellar, but a pond for raising fish.
Xu Heng fell into the pool, and when he got up he found that the water around him had turned red.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the flower umbrella, he was completely shocked.
A long bayonet was stuck in the flower umbrella's abdomen, and blood flowed uncontrollably from the wound, dyeing the pool red.
He had no idea when this happened, and Huasan didn't even let out a scream.
When Yitu also fell down smoothly and fell into the pool, his wound was stained with water and his face twitched in pain.
The two injured men looked at each other weakly from a distance, smiled maliciously at the same time, and although they looked embarrassed, they cursed at the same time.
"damn it."
