Chapter 117: Three-person squad
"Bajie, that's what you said. Sun Wukong said with a smile on the side.
Zhu Bajie was like a deflated ball at this time, and his face was full of depression.
Sun Wukong thought it was funny. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, he stood up and said to Zhu Bajie: "Bajie, let's go." β
"Ah, let's go now, it's getting dark, let's go tomorrow, right?" Zhu Bajie said reluctantly.
"The so-called long nights and dreams, this kind of thing is better to find out as soon as possible. Besides, it's not completely dark outside, what are you afraid of?" Sun Wukong said.
"When did I say I'm scared?
Zhu Bajie gritted his teeth, picked up the nail rake next to the stone bench and was about to walk out.
Sun Wukong smiled, then turned to Sha Seng and said, "Senior Brother Sha, Master's side depends on you to take care of it." β
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will always pay attention to Master's safety. Sha Seng said with a straight face.
Sun Wukong nodded, but then he turned to look at Ruan Jiu, who was sitting across the table.
"Xiao Jiu, you should come with us too. β
"Ah, am I going too?" Ruan Jiu said in surprise.
"Your abilities may be helpful to us in this investigation. Sun Wukong thought for a while and said.
Ruan Jiu was slightly stunned, thinking to herself about her ability? How could she not know? Of course, she did not say this question. In fact, she would have liked to visit the pool as well. At this moment, since Sun Wukong said that he wanted to take her with him, Ruan Jiu was naturally very happy in his heart.
"Well, good!"
Seeing that the expressions of the three of them didn't look like they were joking, Meng Ge finally couldn't sit still.
"Are you serious? Are you really going to go?"
After Sun Wukong waved his hand at him: "Don't worry, we're just going over to take a look." And it doesn't have to really go to the bottom of the pool. β
Meng Ge pondered for a long time, and finally sighed.
"That's it...... Since you want to go, let's go and see it. But I still hope you don't go too deep, after all, that pool of black water is really dangerous. β
Hearing the other party repeatedly emphasize how dangerous the black water was, Zhu Bajie, who was still fearless, suddenly panicked a little again.
"Brother Monkey...... Why don't we think about it again?"
Sun Wukong glanced at him, and reached out to twist his ear.
"Don't! Can't I go?"
Zhu Bajie said as he flew towards the door. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
In the direction MΓΆngke pointed, the three of them soon came to a huge square in the middle of the city. It is said to be a square, but it is actually a square bluestone brick floor. The area of the open space is about the size of a football field. It is surrounded by a thick wall, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.
But that's just for the average person.
With a single leap, the three of them easily crossed the wall. In the afterglow of the evening, the three of them saw that there was indeed a pool of black water in the center of the square.
When I got closer, I found that the pool with a diameter of only more than ten meters was pitch black, as if it was filled with a pool of black ink.
"Is this water really dark?"
Zhu Bajie looked at the pitch-black water in front of him and exclaimed softly.
"Do you think there's anything wrong?" Sun Wukong asked lightly as he looked at the calm water.
Zhu Bajie and Ruan Jiu glanced at each other, and both shook their heads after a moment.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Ruan Jiu wondered.
Sun Wukong stretched out his finger and pointed to the black water in the pool and said, "You see, there is a breeze around you. But there was not a trace of fluctuation on the surface of the water. β
After listening to Sun Wukong's words, the two suddenly realized.
That's right, the water is so calm, it's almost as if it's still. After staring at it for a long time, Ruan Jiu even had an illusion, always feeling that the black water in the pool in front of him was solidified.
Ruan Jiu squatted down, wanting to reach out and touch the black water in the pool.
"Wait!"
grabbed her, and Ruan Jiu was so frightened that she quickly stood up from the ground.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
Sun Wukong frowned slightly: "This black water is really weird, it's better not to touch it until you figure out the situation." β
Ruan Jiu nodded: "Then what should we do now?"
Sun Wukong was about to speak, and Zhu Bajie on the side suddenly exclaimed.
"Brother Monkey, look!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a faint ripple suddenly appear in the water that was originally as calm as a mirror. And as the ripples continued to expand, a slight cry suddenly came from the bottom of the water.
The three of them were startled at the same time, and Sun Wukong looked at the bottom of the pool and said in a deep voice: "Is there someone underwater?"
"How is it possible? How can there be someone down here?" said Zhu Bajie in a trembling voice.
Just as I was surprised, the water surface was calm again. However, the slight cry did not disappear, this cry was so ethereal, as if it was close at hand but far away in the sky.
"It's really strange, it seems that you can only go to the bottom of the pool to check it. Sun Wukong said in a deep voice.
"Brother Monkey, you're not kidding, are you?" Zhu Bajie's eyes widened. "God knows how deep this pool is, how can we go down? Not to mention what if this black water is poisonous?"
"Yes, Senior Brother, are we really going down?" Ruan Jiu also looked a little worried at the moment.
Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie on the side, and winked at Ruan Jiu: "It's not us, it's your second senior brother." β
"Huh?"
"I'm not going! I'm not going!"
Zhu Bajie hurriedly hid backwards. Just kidding, the bottom of this pool is pitch black, and no one knows what's inside. If there was some terrible monster, wouldn't he be miserable?
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Bajie, you also know that my old grandson's underwater kung fu is not as good as you." Naturally, you will need to complete this task of launching the water. β
"I'm not going to be fooled again. That's what you told me last time, and I almost didn't get killed by you. As soon as he remembered the past, Zhu Bajie was depressed.
"Hey, how long ago was that, why do you still remember?" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"Anyway, I won't go down, I'm going to go by yourself. β
At this time, Ruan Jiu said: "Why don't I go down?" I have a water avoidance technique to protect myself, so there should be no problem." β
Sun Wukong was just about to speak, but Zhu Bajie preemptively said: "What are you going to do as a girl?"
"I ......"
"Forget it, let's go with my old pig!" Zhu Bajie flicked his sleeves and said helplessly. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he couldn't really let Xiao Jiu go.
"Bajie, no matter what you see at the bottom of the pool, don't act alone. Let's get the situation straight. Sun Wukong reminded.
"Got it. You're just waiting for my news. With that, Zhu Bajie took a deep breath, then jumped forward and jumped straight into the dark pool.
