Chapter 238 is a dead end

"Uncle, what's wrong with you over there?" I shouted and looked for it, it was much farther than I thought, and it was more than ten meters before I was grabbed by a hand, which belonged to Uncle Lu.

"Girl, be careful." Uncle Lu said, "There is a railing over there, but it is rotten." ”

Only then did I notice that just one step in front of me, there was a broken railing, and if it wasn't for my uncle stopping me just now, I would have fallen into the hot spring, which was really dangerous.

"It's so dangerous, it's almost... By the way, uncle, we just heard the sound of falling water on your side, are you okay? I asked.

"It's okay, the fog is too big, we couldn't see the situation in front of us clearly when we came over just now, but fortunately, Wu Teng's eyesight was good, and he stopped the two of us in time, otherwise we might have fallen in, the sound you heard was that I broke the railing I threw into it just now in order to test the depth of the water." Uncle Lu explained.

"So that's the case, it's too dangerous here, let's go back first, have you seen Wen Qian and Wen Wan?" I asked.

"No, it seems to be very big, but I haven't found an exit, I don't know where to get out, this place seems to be just a platform, it's wide, and there's no bridge or anything like that." Uncle Lu said that we would go back together.

"What was the result of the water depth test?" I asked.

"Unexpected." Uncle Lu said.

"How?" I asked.

"This hot spring doesn't seem to feel anything special, it's just an ordinary underground hot spring, but the rope I brought with me when I tested it just now. It was a fifty-meter safety rope that was actually put on the head. Uncle Lu said.

"That means the water is more than fifty meters deep?" I asked.

"That's right, or even longer, it could be that the water here is bottomless, or maybe it's a hot spring with living water, and the bottom leads to something else." Uncle Lu said.

I suddenly remembered that I had watched "Journey to the Center of the Earth" before, there was a crack in it leading to the center of the earth, I don't know if we met a hot spring leading to the center of the earth, and I suddenly felt that my brain hole was a little big, and I quickly came back to my senses. "Uncle, you just said you used that wooden fence to test the depth of the water?" I'm a little confused.

"You may not have noticed. The fence was made of wood from the Iron Tree. It can be sunk, very strong, I have just studied it carefully, and the reason why it is broken. This is because the junction is made of peachwood. That's why it's so rotten. Uncle Lu said.

After speaking, we returned to the place where everyone had gathered. Sister Wang Na stood up worried when she saw Uncle Lu coming back, everyone finally gathered together again, and we hurriedly packed up our things and prepared to find a way out together.

Uncle Lu drew us a simple map. The place where we are standing now should be a platform, the platform presents an arc, that platform is relatively wide, there is no bridge, and it should be necessary to take a detour to get around to the opposite side.

"Hey, just walk along this hot spring lake, it's nothing, if it doesn't work, let's swim over." Dazhe said disapprerovingly.

"You have to swim yourself, the devil knows what's in there." Min Lan said, Dazhe quickly shut his mouth when he heard it.

"I'm afraid it's not a problem in the water now, maybe we don't even know what's here, just now you mentioned a fish in your diary, and there is a ghost glaze outside, and don't forget, the screams from the Wen brothers just now came from here." Uncle Lu's words were like a slap in the face, which instantly reduced our self-confidence by more than half, and everyone was nervous and didn't dare to speak, the temperature created by the hot springs here made it easy for people to feel relaxed and comfortable, and when Uncle Lu said this, everyone instantly raised their vigilance.

"Let's hurry up, one place seems to be huge, and I don't know how long it will take to walk around this pool." Yun Ximing said, we all agreed, and the large army began to move.

Around the pond this is just our plan, but I didn't expect that it seems not easy to implement, the road seems to be particularly long, the fog is big, we can't see the situation under our feet at all, with the feeling to move forward, dare not get too close to our right side, because the right side is a hot spring, there are many railings that have been rotten, very dangerous, but the road under the feet is not easy to walk, the railing around the place is wide and narrow, and often encounter very narrow places when walking, After stumbling like this for about an hour, Uncle Lu and Yun Ximing, who were leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.

"Hey, Brother Childe, why did you stop, did you find your way?" Dazhe asked.

"No, it's like—" Yun Ximing answered halfway, and he couldn't hear what he muttered in the second half of the sentence.

"Seems to be wrong? Yun family's? Aro couldn't help but ask.

"There seems to be no road ahead." Yun Ximing said loudly, "Lao Lu and I are looking at the end, there is no road here." Yun Ximing said.

"You see you're inexperienced, there's no way, that's the end, we must have gone to the other side, you see if there is a door." Dazhe said.

"Obviously not, it's surrounded by water on three sides, and it looks like we're in the middle of the lake." Uncle Lu said.

"Huh? We're not here for a spring outing, and besides, there's no lake pavilion here, and there's no scenery to see. Dazhe said.

"Of course I know, but we just followed the side of the road, and I don't know why we ended up in the middle of the lake." Yun Ximing didn't say angrily.

"What the hell is this?" Yun Ning said worriedly.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be, I can't even see the shadow of a ghost here." I say.

"There is a fork in the road." Wu Teng said suddenly.

"Wotou, what did you just say?" Yun Xian asked.

"I said that where we walked just now, I saw a fork in the road, although there is fog and I can't see clearly, but there should be no mistake." Wu Teng said.

"Then you didn't say it just now." Lin Zhuang complained.

"Because it's not necessary, the situation is unknown." Wu Teng said calmly.

"The situation is different now, this road obviously doesn't work, it can't go on, if there is another road, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, we have to try it, you say, where is the fork in the road you saw just now?" Yun Ximing asked.

"It's right behind you, walk back a little bit and you'll see it." Wu Teng said.

The team turned back as a whole, this time Wu Teng and Lin Zhuang walked in the front, and according to Wu Teng's guidance, we really found a fork in the road where we had just walked.

"This is it." Wu Teng said, "Lin Zhuang and I went to explore the road first. He said. Before I could react, Wu Teng had already set off with Lin Zhuang, but fortunately, they walked a short distance inside and turned back.

"The ground up front is about the same as here, so there shouldn't be any problems." Wu Teng said, and Lin Zhuang also nodded.

"Let's go." I said, this is the first time I walked in front, in order to prevent not being able to see the railing in front of me, I also deliberately took an extra sapper shovel in my hand, and walked while probing. Luckily, this didn't happen, because the wooden floor was covered with dirt and couldn't be seen clearly, but I guess the boardwalk was also made of ironwood.

After walking for about half an hour, the shovel I used to explore the way suddenly hollowed out, there was no road in front of me, and there was no railing anymore, I looked in front of me, and through the fog I could indeed vaguely see that there was a railing hanging there in front of me, which had been broken.

I turned around and told Uncle Lu about the situation, and he frowned.

"Uncle, do you think we're going to go back to where we just now?" I asked, worried that this time I had embarked on the road again.

"No, I just marked the place where we rested, we didn't go back to where we came, and besides, this railing is not the one I broke it." Uncle Lu said, "I think we are on a different path, but it is also a dead end." ”

"I have an idea." Wu Teng made that sissy voice again, "Is there such a possibility, that is, there is more than one fork in the road we are walking now, and there will be other forks in the road, but even I haven't found out." Wu Teng said.

"It's possible." Uncle Lu agreed, "Even if we don't have us, we can't stay here, so let's turn around and go back first and see if there is any new way." ”

In this way, we turned around again, and sure enough, as Wu Teng said, we walked back a short distance and came to a fork in the road, and we walked up again, but the result was the same, not far, and we came to the end. This process went on three more times, and I won't go into them here, except that at the last time, everyone was exhausted and complained, and there was no way to stop us at the end of this fork in the road.

"I don't believe in this evil, could it be that this is not a lake at all, it was the place where the princess used to bathe, so there was no bridge at all, and she usually swam over?" Dazhe said.

"This possibility is not possible, but fat man, your words reminded me, I heard my grandfather say before, there was a king in the pre-Qin period, he liked to swim in the lake very much, so after he was terminally ill, he ordered someone to build an artificial lake in his tomb, and the only way to and from the sacrifice was by boat." Yun Ximing said.

What does this mean? Rich and capricious? Dazhe asked.

"Boat, these places we have walked through, there are forks every other point, do you think it is a dock?" Yun Ximing said.

"It's really like you say that, let's go and find a boat." Dazhe said that he picked up the sapper shovel and moved, Yun Ximing was worried that he would be reckless, so he hurriedly followed.

The two of them reached the end of the fork in the road in a few steps, where the railing had also rotted away and broke off with a slight break. Yun Ximing didn't know what to muttered to Dazhe, Dazhe agreed loudly, and then there was the sound of wood being thrown into the water, and after a while, Dazhe seemed to have dragged something out of the water and exclaimed.

"Oh my God, what is this?" (To be continued......)
