Vol 2 Chapter 7: Overlord Salamander

Finally, I walked over the nine-story demon tower and walked less than two hundred steps forward, and suddenly my feet were soft, like I stepped on a huge animal, I took a photo with a flashlight, and under my feet was a huge crawler I had never seen before Animals, it has a long tongue, its skin color is very close to the color of the ground, it looks a bit like a monitor lizard, and a bit like a crocodile, but it does not have such a rough skin, and the front kiss is not as sharp as a lizard, and it is relatively round. The tongue is like a snake, red and long, with a fork in front, dark skin all over the body, covered with large white round spots. From the appearance, it can be said that it is basically a super frog with a long tail.
In my life, I was not afraid of fear, but I was more afraid of such disgusting things. It made me shrink back behind the big man, and the big man also saw this strange animal and was startled. The only partner a soldier can rely on is a gun. He fired the gun out of his instinctive reaction and shot it in a burst. The reptile twisted a few times and died.
At this time, Luo Ning, who was walking at the end, came over, looked at the dead animals on the ground, and called out to us: "This is a salamander that lives underground, eating insects and mayflies to make a living, and does not hurt people."
I don't feel bad about killing an animal. What I worry about is that the big man shoots boldly and will wake the bugs in the tower. His mother, if the man was out of luck, he would drink his mouth with cold water and stop his teeth. The ladybug in the nine-story demon building was obviously shocked by the gunshots, and countless blue fireballs like bright lights lit up.
The entire underground space was reflected in blue by the fire, and the wooden tower was also lit. The fire was burning more and more, and hundreds of fireballs were rushing towards us. With such a large fire, we did not feel a trace of heat, but felt The cold is tempting, and the teeth tremble.
The big man didn't look good, took out the two grenades inserted in the armed belt, they would pull the string and throw them over to explode those fireballs, I quickly held his hand and said: "Throw one, leave us a glory Bomb, I do n’t want to let that ghost burn to death. "
Our wooden handle grenade is a standard equipment for infantry. It is covered with a metal sheet into a cylindrical shape, and below it is a wooden grip. After it is triggered, the metal sheet fragments are excited by the explosive inside to kill the enemy. The power is not very strong.
The big man left one grenade, and I took another one. When I saw a lot of fireballs had rushed over, I pulled out the fuse and threw out the grenade with white smoke.
The grenade exploded a white smoke, and dozens of blue fireballs flying in front were hit by exploding shrapnel, which fell to the ground and extinguished, but more fireballs swarmed from behind.
Luo Ning was in front, and the other three were behind the hall. They used their semi-automatic rifles to withdraw while playing, each with more than 20 rounds of bullets.
If you want to deal with the blue fireballs formed by the weird ladybugs, you can only shoot with a gun, and if you come in contact with them, they will catch fire. A rifle without bullets is not as good as a fire stick.
The big man threw away his rifle, took out the last grenade, and shouted to me: "Lao Hu, is it time, whole?"
Luo Ning and I were holding the GA baby in a circle. Four people formed a circle and wrapped the grenade in the middle of the big man. I stared at the grenade in front of me. As long as the big man pulled the string, it would burn out in a few seconds.
The last moment finally arrived.
At this time, I have no time to think too much. First, the fireballs are getting closer and closer, and I have no time to think about it. Secondly, because I worry that thinking too much about life and death will make me weak. I have always wanted to be a super fighting hero like Yang Gensi, but I did n’t die on the battlefield. Instead, I walked under the Kunlun Mountain to the end of my life. It ’s really not very reconciling. Detonate the grenade.
Luo Ning had closed her eyes tightly and was waiting to die. She suddenly thought of something and stood up and pulled us at once: "You listen to the sound of the water flowing here, here is very close to the underground river, let's jump into the river . "
I just watched the shooting and then prepared to commit suicide with a grenade. I threw the matter of the underground river behind my head. I did not hear the sound of the rumbling water in the hurry. When Luo Ning said this, I thought there was still a way to live. If we can jump into the river in advance, the fireballs are powerful, but we ca n’t help it.
When it was too late, it was fast. Thousands of blue fireballs were close at hand. The four survivors were eager to survive and ran desperately towards the roar of the water.
Listening to the sound of water, there is only a distance of more than ten meters. We can't run a few steps. After turning at the end of the underground cavity, there is a big waterfall in front of us. There is a natural underground lake of no small size below the waterfall.
I have n’t had time to take a closer look. The back of the heart is hot, and the pain like scratching the liver is presumed to be that the fireball has hit my back. As long as a small Mars touches it, the flame will immediately engulf the whole body. It was too late to think, and jumped off the lake with a leap.
In the chaos, I saw that the big man and other three people were also burned, screaming and jumping into the lake one after another. I slammed into the water, and the blue flame on my body was immediately extinguished by the lake water.
The water and fire are not melted, and the rest of the flying insects seem to know the power of the lake. They only hover about two or three meters away from the lake, and they dare not rush down to attack.
I exuded my head out of the water and found out that a big man had also emerged, but I couldn't see Luoning and Gawa. I was worried that they did not recognize water, drowned in the lake, and took a deep breath to prepare to dive into the water again to rescue them. At this time, Luo Ning had already supported Gava to float up from the lake.
It turned out that Gawa hadn't swam in his whole life, and was choked by the water after jumping into the lake. Luo Ning just saw it and dived into the lake to rescue him. Fortunately, the drowning didn't take long. A few sips of water, came awake again.
Tibetan customs are not allowed to go to the lake to bathe and swim. Gawa babbles chanting the scriptures and asks the Buddha to forgive sins.
The lake was lit by countless fireballs like daylight. The four people gathered together. Although it was early spring, they felt that the groundwater was not cold. Instead, they felt a slight warmth on their bodies. It was a warm water lake formed by geothermal action.
The big man scolded: "Mama got a gun, the gun was gone, and she sank to the bottom of the lake."
I reminded him: "We have no bullets and the guns are useless. Now let's find a way to leave. Hurry down and keep your head down. Be careful of the bugs."
The big man didn't believe that the fire bugs could rush into the lake, grinning with a big grin, and soon his smile froze. Thousands of blue fireballs flashing blue light were gradually gathering, forming a huge incomparable mass The flame, with a cry, rushed down, and he hurried back into the lake.
I took a breath and was thinking about going down. I was shocked when I saw the next baby. He was naturally afraid of the lake and did n’t dare to dive into it. I had to force his head into the water and drag his arm backwards. Swim deep.
The diameter of the big fireball reached several tens of meters. When it touched the surface of the lake, it was excited and steamed. Although the fireball is large and the lake is wider, the suicide attacks of the ladybug squads cannot work, and they have drowned in the water.
The bottom of the lake was originally dim, but reflected by the fire above, it was barely able to see the environment under a dozen meters of water. There are countless big fish swimming slowly in the depths of the water. These fish are completely different from the ones I have seen before. The big fish has extremely long whiskers, just like salmon. Due to living in a dark environment, the eyes have deteriorated, only There are two white spots left.
I was taken aback by the strange appearance of these big fishes. I took a few sips of water. After watching Ga Ga, I also kicked my hands and feet. I could n’t hold my breath anymore. I wanted to struggle to swim up and breathe. It is estimated that the insects are almost dead, and they dragged the Gawa to the lake.
There was a layer of ladybug dead bodies floating on the lake, there was no fire, and there was a dark and dark one everywhere. I shouted to the big man: "Big man, do you still have a flashlight?"
The big man replied: "It's all lost, and there's nothing left. Let's go dark this time."
Suddenly, before his eyes lit up, Luo Ning also emerged from the lake and wiped the water on her face with her hand. She held a military torch in her other hand: "The last two I carried, I still I kept it in my pocket and did n’t fall into the bottom of the lake. "
Everyone pulled each other and climbed ashore. They felt tired and hungry. They no longer had the energy to move. They did n’t eat for more than ten hours. Not to mention the flesh and blood. Even if they were really iron, they might not be able to hold it. .
The big man jumped into the lake again and inserted a fish with a bayonet. He scraped the scales indiscriminately and cut them into several pieces. I tasted it first. The taste of raw fish was okay, not too fishy, ​​but it was slightly bitter and more It feels delicious after chewing a few bites. Only Gawa said he would not eat anything.
The three of them ate a big fish raw, and felt that there was still something to be done, so the big man swam into the lake to touch the fish again. Luo Ning checked the wound on Gawa ’s foot. I turned around the lake to see if there was any. Where can I go out. The water flow of the waterfall is so large that this lake should have a place to divert.
The fall of the big waterfall is tens of meters. According to Luo Ning ’s estimation, the water system in front of us should be an underground tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and there may be volcanoes deep in the underground, so the lake water will be warm.
I took Luo Ning's torch and found a gap in an underground lake. The lake water flowed out of this gap. This waterway is a cave that is seven or eight meters high. It is completely submerged under water and there is no way to go. If you want to go forward, you can only swim out of the water.
I went back to Luo Ning and told her what I saw. Luo Ning's map and compass were lost. I can only speculate by instinct. She has been engaged in surveying and mapping for many years and has rich experience. She estimates that our location is not far from the Unfrozen Spring. The Unfrozen Spring does not freeze even in the severe winter, indicating that there is lava underground. The problem is where can I go back to the ground, always It is not a way to walk around underground, and the only feasible solution now is to walk along the river, because only where there is a river channel will not be a dead end.
The big man also returned in despair, he didn't catch the fish this time. We don't want to stay any longer. Three good-water people put the Gewa in the middle, swimming in the direction of the water, and heading towards the distance of the cave.
Although the surface of this underground river is not wide, the strength of the underlying subsurface flow is great. By the impact of the current, the half-drift and half- swim is not laborious, but the temperature of the water is much higher than before. The smell in the nose is all sulfur. The breath, still in the water, still feels dry.
The big man was a little anxious and complained while swimming: "We may have made the mistake of left-leaning blind activism this time. Why didn't we swim for so long? The water flow is so fast in this place that there is not even a place where we can stand still." Go back and swim back. "
I criticized the big man and said, "What have you done? You have swam so far before asking how long the red flag can fight. Do you have doubts about whether our revolution can achieve the final victory? The Long March has just taken its first step You started to shake? You clenched your teeth and held on. "
The big man quibbled: "How can I say that? I don't want to reserve some power for the revolution? Who is responsible for the loss caused by the revolution as you are?"
Halfway through our words, Luo Ning exclaimed: "Do you see any animals behind? Seems like ... water monsters."
I also heard unusual noises in the water behind. I turned back to take a flashlight, the water splashed, and a huge black shadow quickly approached from the water. The flashlight's lighting range was not enough to see exactly what it was, but the comer was not good, good If the person doesn't come, we all pull out the army thorns and concentrate on preparing for war.
The power of the undercurrent and the dark surge under the river is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't stop at all. It can't help but rushed forward by the river, and the huge monster behind it also followed like a shadow.
Most of the monster's body is in the water, and waves of water are rolled up. The cave in the river is too dark, and only the sound is not visible. Judging from the sound, it is less than seven or eight meters long.
In the last section of the dark river, the water flow was more urgent. The four of us were afraid of being washed away and hugged tightly into a ball, tumbling into a hole in the river.
Below is a huge underground dark river. The water temperature in the river is very high. There are countless tributaries like the river we just passed through from the mountain wall. Like a big faucet, it merges into the main channel below. . There are many raised stone holes on both sides, and white high-temperature gas is constantly emerging, and there are some dark red flames in some stone cracks. It seems that this is probably the underground volcanic belt that Luo Ning said.
The temperature of the river was too high. We were struggling to climb a huge rock by the river during the rapids, and found that even this stone was warm. Because the fire of the lava nearby could illuminate, I turned off the flashlight to save A little precious battery, I asked them a few: "Have you seen clearly? What was it just behind? What a big size."
Neither the big man nor Luo Ning saw clearly. At the same time, he shook his head. Gawa was the worst. He drank the water from his belly, his belly was rounded, and he talked with one mouth. He spit a few sips of water before he could speak. Stomach side, said: "Oh, see the Ga bear, follow behind, fall into the middle of the river."
Just in case, the big man held the army thorn and stood up to check the situation in the nearby river: "What water monster? Nothing." After he had finished speaking, he would turn around and come back, suddenly a big blood-red tongue sticking out of the river It's more than two meters long, and it curled up the big man's legs in a roll, turned him over on the ground, and pulled him towards the river.
Thanks to Gawa's quick eyes, he used a bayonet to pierce the big tongue fiercely, and the monster's tongue ate painfully, loosened the big man, and stared at the two red lights like strange eyes, and crawled out of the river.
It looks exactly like the salamander that was shot by a big man before. It looks like a frog and looks like a skinless crocodile. It's just that this newt is too big and too big, it is more than ten meters long, with colorful scales flashing on his body, and the big tail flicked, watching the people fiercely.
I was busy asking Luo Ning: "Luo Gong, are you sure it doesn't hurt people? Why is this so big?"
Luo Ning looked pale and shivered and said, "I ... I mean the last ... this ... this is just ... Overlord salamander, very aggressive ... It was extinct during the ice age ... and also."
No one thought that in this special environment isolated from the world, there were beasts that had long been extinct in the ancient times.
Underground creatures such as salamanders are cold-blooded animals. The excessive geothermal heat makes the overlord salamander in front of us extremely violent, and Ga baby stabs its tongue again, and the smell in his mouth makes it strong. The offensiveness is not to mention, the newt we shot and killed, I do n’t know if it is a relative of its children and grandchildren. In short, the Liangzi is considered a knot, and the two sides have to work together to break the net.
I made a wink, the big man and Gawa understood, and outflank each side of the overlord salamander, and the three-person fighting group formed a pinch.
The overlord salamander yelled and twitched its teeth to the three people before they even waited for us. It swept its huge baby with its huge tail, turned the baby on the ground, curled the baby up, opened the blood basin and bite, salamander The salamander's mouth originally had no teeth, but this giant salamander has three rows of sharp teeth on the upper and lower sides of the giant mouth. If you let it take a bite, where can you live?
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the two of me and the two rushed forward, and the two of them worked together to catch the mouth of the overlord's salamander, and I couldn't let it bite down anyway, otherwise the baby's head would be gone.
Gawa became incredibly brave. Although he was caught by the tail of the overlord's salamander below his waist, his hands kept on seeing. The monster was thick and fleshy, so he had to stab in it with a bayonet.
The salamander was injured in the mouth, shocked and angry, and used his strange power to hit the body, throwing the three people off the ground. This guy's power is so great, I was thrown on a stone, and I was hit with blood, and Venus was in front of me, and the big man fell into the river, but immediately climbed back to the shore, and I was covered with white vapor. The river was so hot that it shouted.
Only three bayonets wanted to fight this huge overlord salamander, it was tantamount to striking a stone with an egg, four people shouted and walked away together, the overlord salamander was chasing behind.
The ground is full of volcanic rocks and ash, which is soft and slippery on foot, and it is very difficult to run. In order to get rid of the big monster behind, we stepped on the volcanic rocks on the edge of the river valley and climbed to the steep place, using hands and feet to climb higher and higher. I was climbing halfway, and I heard a big man yelling at me, let me be careful. I glanced down and looked down. The overlord salamander walked on the mountain wall like a big lizard, trailing behind. It was less than three meters away from me. Its long tongue almost licked me. Ass. I wanted to jump down to escape, but I climbed too high, and I was not sure I could jump into the river. If there was a slight mistake, it would be miserable when I fell on a stone. The trapped beast fights, even if it is dead, it is necessary to pull the monster back.
The other three people also saw that the overlord salamander was about to catch up with me, but the of the mountain was too steep, and it was impossible to come over to help. All of them were biting their teeth and staring, but they were helpless.
Luo Ning suddenly thought of something, lying on the stone wall and shouting to me: "Comrade Little Hu, glorious bullet!"
The rest of the people thought at the same time, yes, we still have a grenade, which has not been used. It is installed in the armor belt of a big man at this moment. The grenades made in China with wooden handles are waterproof, some are in Qinghai Lake The garrison soldiers often fry fish in the lake with grenades. Although everyone fell into the water just now, the grenades should not get wet. Thanks to Luo Ning's reminder.
The big man pulled out the grenade: "Old Hu, catch it." I threw it from the diagonal direction.
I quickly grabbed the bayonet in my mouth, took a copy with my right hand, caught the grenade, pushed the safety cover off with my thumb, threw the bayonet away with my mouth, bit the pull ring, the fuse of the grenade was ignited, and white appeared smoke.
I glanced down at the big mouth of the overlord salamander, and threw the grenade into it. Where did the overlord salamander know what the grenades were, and flew over darkly, according to its usual habit of hunting, using a long tongue to roll Swallowed in the mouth, there was a muffled sound, the grenade exploded in its mouth, although the skin on the body of the king salamander was hard, but the skin in the mouth was very soft, this time it exploded its head from the inside to the outside, and fell. Under the stone wall, the huge body twisted a few times, and turned its white stomach on the rock by the river.
I took a deep breath, and my body was soaked with cold sweat. I didn't feel the fear just now, but my hands and feet were soft at this time, and I felt dizzy when I looked down.
Suddenly, the mountain wall was shaken violently, the water of the underground river skyrocketed, the air was full of sulphur breath, and a wave of heat waves rushed up from below.
