Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 122 Water Palace
It turned out that when Poplar and Iron Bull entered the cave and swam forward for more than 30 meters, Poplar made a gesture for Iron Bull to hurry back.
Because the iron bull can only dive more than 50 meters at most, and it is already very dangerous to not turn back after more than 30 meters.
But Tie Niu was not reconciled, so he swam forward five or six meters away, and suddenly a floating force made him jump up at once.
Poplar followed, and suddenly realized that the two men had already floated on the water.
Tie Niu couldn't help laughing, but the laughter kept echoing in his ears, obviously in a large enclosed space.
At this time, the nylon rope was pulled a few times by Ding Lingling.
Tie Niu hadn't noticed it yet, but Bai Yang also grabbed the nylon rope with his hand, and hurriedly told Tie Niu to be quiet, while grabbing the nylon rope and pulling it rhythmically three times.
"They must be very worried now, but fortunately we didn't go back halfway, otherwise we would have lost all our efforts at such a distance of five or six meters!" said Tie Niu, naturally very proud.
"Yes, I'm glad you didn't listen to me!"
Poplar glanced at the Iron Ox, and while his feet were on the water, he was floating on the water, and he looked at the front and back, left and right, and the head.
They soon found themselves floating in a long deep pool, with black rocks behind them, and all along the rocks were flooded.
About ten meters in front of it, there seems to be a sandbar, the area of the sandbar seems to be quite large, and there is a building on the sandbar.
"There's land over there, let's hurry over and take a breath and rest, it's too cold in the water!" said Iron Bull.
Because it is groundwater, the water temperature is kept at 15 or 6 degrees, which is not too low.
However, if you soak in water for a long time, as the temperature of your body drops, you will feel cooler and cooler.
Poplar nodded, and was about to swim to the sandbar when something grazed his body.
Startled, Poplar hurriedly took a breath and dived into the water, just as a shadow swept past him. When I looked at it, it was actually a big fish.
And looking at it from afar, there are a lot of fish swimming in the water. It seems that in this enclosed space, an ecosystem has naturally formed.
It took the two of them another minute to swim to the sandbar.
With the help of the light on the miner's hat, the two of them found that there was indeed a very majestic building in front of them.
It is at least three meters high, and the top is directly integrated with the stone wall on top, which seems to be the roof of the roof.
However, at the junction between the building and the stone wall, there is a section of eaves, and the eaves are very exquisitely made, like a palace.
In the middle of the eaves, there is a plaque with two grand gates.
It's a pity that the surface of the building is covered with moss in this damp place for many years, and the original color of the eaves and plaques, as well as the doors and walls, cannot be seen clearly.
There are two stone statues standing on both sides of the gate, looking at their standing posture, they look like people, but their appearance is strange and vicious, and they also hold a spear and a long knife in their hands, and they can't see where the sacred statue is.
In addition, on the left side of the gate, there is a stone stele, but the stele is also covered with moss, and it is impossible to see what font is written on the stele.
"This palace should have been built in a large natural stone cave, but it is strange that such a stone cave exists in the middle of this desert!" said Poplar, tilting his head back and forth to look closely.
"Then above this stone cave, is it the Crescent Spring Scenic Area? But this place is not too deep, why didn't the foundation open up this place when those towers were built?"
"It doesn't have to be the Crescent Spring Scenic Area up there, right? Let's turn around in that passage, and I'm a little confused about the direction, but as far as I can see, this should be under the sand beam behind the Crescent Spring. Behind the side of this building, it should be the Crescent Spring Scenic Area!" Bai Yang said.
Iron Bull nodded, followed by another shout.
"They're pulling the rope again, why don't we hurry back and pick them up, and then investigate carefully!"
Poplar agreed, untied the nylon rope from the iron ox's waist, and tied it to the stone tablet, and then the two followed the nylon rope to dive back into the water.
There was a nylon rope to guide the way back, which was naturally much faster, and in less than three minutes, two people had already emerged from the passage.
"Why have you been here for so long, you can scare people to death!" called Hongxing first.
Tie Niu smiled and said, "Worry about me! Don't worry, my life is big, I can't die!"
"Who is worried about you, don't be stinky!" Hong Xing glared at him with a blushing face.
When Bai Yang told him what he had just seen, several people were very excited, only Ma Bingxiao was not good at water, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Poplar said: "With a rope to pull, as long as you hold your breath, you should be able to dive over." I'll take the GI with you, and you just have to hold your breath. ”
Ma Bingxiao was very embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect it to be a drag on you!"
Bai Yang hurriedly said: "Don't say that, we still expect Uncle Ma to come and save us! If you don't come with you, it will be even worse!"
He paused here for a moment, and then said: "The backpack must not be taken away, let's take the necessary supplies and pile the backpack in one place, which can also fix the other end of the rope." ”
As soon as the others heard him, they simply retreated to the gentler bend, and each opened his backpack to take out what he would use.
Because the crowbar is too heavy, Poplar still has to take Ma Bingxiao, and it is difficult to hold a crowbar with one hand.
The Iron Bull didn't bring any other weapons, so he had to bring a crowbar to use it.
Bai Yang considered that this time he went in just for exploration, and it was impossible to bring out the antique relics inside, in case the iron bull and a crowbar couldn't pry open the coffin inside, in fact, it didn't matter.
So Poplar tied one of the crowbars to a rope and stuck it at the bend, and then used a couple of backpacks to basically jam the crowbar.
Ding Lingling thought that the two jade hummingbirds couldn't follow in, so she could only take out a steamed bun, break it and put it on the top package, so as not to let someone save her in a few days, and the two jade hummingbirds would not starve to death.
After that, a group of several people went down into the water.
Tie Niu originally wanted to take Ma Bingxiao with Bai Yang, but Bai Yang said: "Although the soldier's water quality is not good, he has practiced qigong, and he may hold his breath for a longer time than you. So you can't help us at all, and you're going to have to lead the way to the others. ”
Tie Niu heard that he was reasonable, so he stopped arguing.
Several people went down to the water in turn, Tie Niu grabbed a crowbar in one hand to lead the way, Chen Xiaopang followed, followed by Hongxing and Ding Lingling, and Baiyang escorted Ma Bingxiao at the end.
Because of the nylon rope to guide the way, Ma Bingxiao just held his breath and grabbed the nylon rope to move forward as soon as possible, so although he was slightly slower than others, it was not too slow.
Seeing that several people in front of him had all emerged through the waterlogged stone cave, and they were no longer visible, Ma Bingxiao was about to speed up, but suddenly, he felt that his hand was loose, and the nylon rope seemed to be broken, and he was dragged over softly.
Ma Bingxiao was taken aback, he didn't know what was going on, and his body naturally sank to the bottom.
Luckily, Poplar was right next to him, grabbed him by the arm, winked at him, and paddled hard ahead.
Bai Yang still had his own black sword hanging on his shoulder, which was already heavy, and with Ma Bingxiao, he couldn't swim at all.
Fortunately, Ma Bingxiao quickly calmed down, kicked the ground violently with his foot, and his body suddenly jumped out with the poplar.
Bai Yang took the opportunity to pull him forward for a few meters, and Ma Bingxiao's body sank again.
Bai Yang looked back at his face, Ma Bingxiao's face was already red, and he couldn't hold it back, so Bai Yang simply fell to the bottom of the water with him, first made a gesture with him, and then grabbed him with both hands and sent him forward.
Ma Bingxiao took advantage of this force and jumped forward a few meters, and suddenly floated up.
Poplar breathed a sigh of relief and surfaced, only to see the waves rolling, mixed with exclamations.
Poplar looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that the iron ox walked ahead, with ropes to pull it, and it only took two minutes to swim out of the flooded stone cave and emerge upwards.
Chen Xiaopang and the two girls came out of the water, Tie Niu was worried about Poplar and the soldiers, and was about to ask the others to go ashore first, he went into the water to pick up the ride, and he didn't want to loosen his hand, and the nylon rope seemed to be broken.
"What's going on? Why did the nylon rope suddenly break?" Ding Lingling asked first.
Iron Bull immediately turned his head and looked at the stone tablet that had tied the nylon rope before.
As a result, he didn't see anything clearly, when he heard a "bang" and a splash of water, as if something had jumped into the water from the side of the stele.
"What is it, what is it that got into the water?" Hong Xing blurted out.
Tie Niu's heart jumped and shouted: "There are a lot of fish in this water, and if there are fish, there will be some big guys who eat fish! After you two girls come to me, Senior Brother Chen, you look at the water, I'll take a look underwater!"
He said, taking a deep breath and peeking into the water.
It was difficult to see far in the water, and the Iron Bull was looking around, and suddenly a huge and ugly head appeared in his sight.
Even after a glance, Iron Bull recognized that it was a crocodile, and it was a very large crocodile!
The crocodile swallows slowly on land, and swims extremely fast in the water.
The iron bull didn't have time to go out of the water to warn, so he could only use all his strength, grabbed the iron crowbar with both hands, and poked it at the crocodile's head and face.
The crocodile was so nimble that it tilted its head and bit down on the top of the crowbar, followed by a sharp flick of its head.
Iron Bull clung to the crowbar, and was thrown out of the water by the crocodile, shouting: "It's a crocodile!
With a "thud", his whole body landed behind the crocodile.
