Chapter 211: Back to the Abyss
Qiu Yan dragged Li Mowu towards the flickering glimmer above his head. The water waves were still shaking violently, and in the chaotic light and shadow, there was a familiar face on the other side of the water waves, looking at him anxiously.
"Boom!" With the crisp sound of water, Li Mowu took a greedy breath of air, his consciousness gradually calmed down, and with a violent coughing sound, the four people on the bamboo raft hurriedly pulled the two up.
For a moment, Li Mowu seemed to think of something, and he secretly decided that if he had the life to go back this time, he would definitely learn water nature.
It was only at this moment that Li Mowu had a trace of expression on his face, and he saw him bow his head slightly and say softly. "Thank you. ”
Qiu Yan didn't say anything, but nodded and looked at Xijiang, and then told everything about the underwater situation.
"What!?" Xijiang asked Xiang Qiuyan again in an uncertain tone. "Do you really see a lot of carrion underwater?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Qiu Yan replied seriously, as if the terrifying scene just now was still vivid.
Xijiang's bulging face twitched continuously, and he trembled. "It's not right, it shouldn't be, how could the tide corpse appear here. No, I'm going to get into the water, I'm going to go into the water and find out." Saying that, Xijiang was going to recklessly plunge into the underwater world.
Qiu Yan grabbed him. "Mr. Xijiang, this is a last resort, there may be some accidents in this underwater mutation, if something happens to you, we can..."
"It's already a big problem for the tide corpse to appear here! If we can't be sure, then our own safety is a fart, and we all have to die!" Xijiang rudely pointed at Qiu Yan's nose and rebuked loudly.
Suddenly, there was silence in the cave, and Qiu Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly, and after looking at Xijiang's anxious and frightened eyes for a long time, he spoke softly. "Okay, I'll go down with you. ”
.....
After receiving the only two sets of simple diving equipment handed by Le Jin, Qiu Yan dived into this undersea country again, and for the sake of insurance, Qiu Yan specially instructed Li Mowu Xiaoli to wrap Xijiang's waist with a 10,000-meter lock. There is a rod sensor on the lock cylinder and the rope head of the 10,000-meter lock, if something happens, the first reaction to buckle the person above the lock cylinder can immediately sense it, so that you can make a judgment and continue to rescue.
After sneaking in for a few minutes, Qiu Yan found that the huge number of corpses just now suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared. He wanted to negotiate with Xijiang, but seeing him struggling to swim straight, he still put down this strange scene first and followed closely.
He turned on the searchlight and continued to explore with Xijiang, and began to search, searching and searching for the reefs one by one. Soon a hole was found under a mortar on the east side of a reef.
The entrance of the cave is about two people wide, deep and bottomless, as if it grows on a reef, and there are faint traces of polishing on the edge of the rock, obviously the hole has been manually repaired. The entrance to the cave is hidden underwater, recessed at the base of the reef, and cannot be seen from the surface of the water.
So before Qiu Yan could make a move, Xijiang entered the cave first.
About 30 meters into the cave, you can know that this is a naturally generated hole in the reef plate, in which the reef bones are crossed, and the coral reef rocks are like giant plate bones, embedded in the two walls of the cave. However, the ends of those plates and bones have merged with the surrounding rocks, so they seem to be more like countless tentacles, attached to the rock wall. Diving in a submarine cave is quite dangerous, but the two of them have no experience, they don't realize what they are doing at all, and they keep swimming inside without taking any measures.
About five minutes of crawling in the reef cave, Qiu Yan saw the fork. Reef caverns are spread out like the tentacles of an octopus in the reef plate, and there are passable holes everywhere, some shallow enough to see with a searchlight, and others are frighteningly large, with bottomless holes as large as trucks. Because there is no sunlight, there are few sea anemones and corals here, but there are many small fish of different species, as well as sea cucumber creatures, so this cave is not lonely.
Under the leadership of Xijiang, Qiu Yan walked through this extremely complex system of huge reef caves, like a rat walking through a rat hole, and for safety reasons, he used Sanmei to carve traces in each caliber, so as not to create variables in it.
Ten minutes later, they swam out of the reef cave, and when Xijiang turned on the searchlight to shine around, they found that there was no so-called tide corpse phenomenon, and what appeared in front of him could be said to be an inexplicable place.
In Qiu Yan's eyes, this seemed to be a huge pit in the reef, and it was dark all around, and he looked up and saw the coral reef hanging overhead, but when he turned on the searchlight to shine under his feet, he found that he couldn't shine anything, and there was an abyss under his feet.
According to Qiu Yan's understanding, this should be a hidden natural large cave in the reef, and it is impossible to verify where it is. The exit of the reef cave he was traveling to was at the very top of the cavern, and from the pitch black beneath his feet, as if he had entered a black void, the size of the cave could not be estimated at all.
When Xijiang arrived here, there was no way to continue moving, and there was nothing left and right in front of him. Under the searchlight, there are a lot of white sea debris in the sea, and there is an abyss below, and the flashlight shines out without any reference except for the reef behind it. In Qiu Yan's own description, it is like floating in outer space.
It's actually quite a bad feeling, because no matter where you are, you can see anything with your searchlight on, and you at least have a sense of security. But here, your light source is emitted without any reflections, except for black and black. You don't know what's waiting for you ahead.
At this time, the consumption of oxygen is also huge, cave diving is different from general exploration, it must strictly control the time of activity, because you must leave a part of the oxygen to return to the outside of the cave, so that the diver must check the oxygen meter from time to time, which is quite a psychological pressure for Qiu Yan, because the two only have one oxygen cylinder.
