Chapter 540: Exit
"Almost."
Sunny replied.
"The range of this mountain is so large, the water is flowing, and there are many waterholes, so we may not be able to find it after looking for a lifetime?"
Zou Youheng's face was full of disappointment.
"Not necessarily."
Sunny took a few steps along the edge of the cliff, then crouched down again, reaching out for something.
"When the sun came out, I put some stone worms in the water, this thing can follow the water, limited by the terrain in the mountains, the flow of water is also regular, plus that thing, everywhere you go there are traces."
"Well, I thought I'd never get out."
was said by Qinglang, Zou Youheng seemed to have regained hope.
"Stone worms?"
Ye Xiaoyu was a little surprised, how much did this paralyzed man bring that they didn't know.
"Hmm."
Sunny replied, suddenly as if she had noticed something, and walked quickly in another direction.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about being tired, and hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, there was a sound of water flowing in my ears, not loud, but very clear. Hope suddenly sprouted in Ye Xiaoyu's heart, pricked up her ears, and began to seriously search for the source of the voice. In autumn, there were not many insects in the mountains, and it was very quiet everywhere, and after a while, she found the source of the water in a thorny place in the left foreground.
The thorn bushes are so dense that if you don't look carefully, you won't find a pool in them. Sunny Weather, who was walking in front, also spotted this place, when he used a wooden stick to remove the thorn bushes that were hidden on it. A crystal clear pool of water popped up from below.
That's right, it's crystal clear. The waterhole is shallow, so shallow that you can see the bottom from the surrounding area.
Qing Lang squatted down, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked the wooden stopper on the mouth of the bottle, poured a black object into the palm of his hand, and then put this thing into the pool in front of him.
As soon as the small particle touched the water, it instantly stretched out, at first Ye Xiaoyu thought it was because of the soaking in the water, but later found that this thing actually came to life, like a tadpole swimming in the water.
Ye Xiaoyu was about to ask if the thing in front of Qing Lang was what he called the "stone worm". But the words have not yet been asked. I found that I don't know when a lot of similar insects floated up from the bottom of the pool, all of them swam up in the pool, dense, and it made people's scalps tingle to look at.
"This ......"
"Damn. This can't be the stone worm you call it, right? ”
Ye Xiaoyu was about to say. Zou Youheng suddenly came out from behind. It seems that he was also frightened by this scene.
"This is it."
Sunny was half-kneeling, poking the stick in his hand to the bottom of the pool, and stood and looked down. Ye Xiaoyu thought that the bottom of the waterhole was a mountain rock, but she didn't expect that the wooden stick would fall directly into it, and the bottom was as soft as sand. Qinglang stirred vigorously again, and the waterhole began to become turbid, and when the soil settled, a bottomless deep pool appeared in front of him, and the small pool with clear water just now disappeared in an instant.
"That's the exit."
With that, Sunny stood up from the ground.
Ye Xiaoyu was so close that she almost hit Qinglang's head directly.
"We—we're going to jump in?"
Zou Youheng asked, the expressions on his face were all twitched.
Although it was said that there was a sunny day, it was still a little weak for him to jump from this dark, bottomless pool.
"Hmm."
Sunny said as he walked to the back to cut down the vines.
There is nothing else in this mountain, but there are many thick vines.
The two saw that Qing Lang was busy working, and they also hurried to help together. The vine was too thick, and the three of them relied on two daggers to toss until the sun was about to set, and then they succeeded in tying the vine to their respective bodies.
The three of them are like zongzi strung on a rope, each tied in order, Zou Youheng is in the front, Ye Xiaoyu is in the middle, and Qinglang is tied at the end. After tying up, the three of them slowly moved towards the pool, although there was a gap between each of them, but after all, they were tied to a tree vine, and if one person was not careful, all of them would fall to the ground.
"The three of us are now, and the real ones are [grasshoppers tied to the same rope]! You see, if that Yabu catches up with someone now, then we really won't be able to escape at all. ”
Zou Youheng stood in front of the pool, looked at the bottomless pool and said.
Although there is sunny in the end, if he wants to go down like this, he is still a little lied in his heart.
"If you go down quickly, there won't be such a thing."
Ye Xiaoyu urged behind.
When the sun goes down, not only will there be no light, but the temperature around it will drop very low, not to mention in the water, they will freeze to death inside.
"I know, I'm going to go down soon......"
Zou Youheng pouted unconvinced.
"Hurry up! It's getting dark. ”
Ye Xiaoyu said.
"Huh?!! You see, is this waterhole getting smaller? ”
Zou Youheng sat on the edge of the pool, and just about to put one foot in, he cried out in surprise.
Ye Xiaoyu probed his head and looked at the waterhole when he heard the news, and sure enough, he found that the waterhole in front of them seemed to have shrunk by one size, there was originally a large water tank that could accommodate three people at the same time, but now only the wellhead is small, and it can only accommodate one person at most.
"It's too late, the waterhole is shrinking, jump down."
Sunny said in the back.
The water in the waterhole was flowing, and once it flowed elsewhere, they had to go all over the mountains and fields again to find it, and if it dragged on too long, it would be even more troublesome if Yabu caught up with him.
When Qinglang said this, Zou Youheng also panicked a little, and hurriedly put the other foot in it.
"Get ready, I'm going to jump in."
Zou Youheng said, and after getting the consent of the two people behind him, he supported the ground by the waterhole with both hands, leaned forward, and the whole person fell in.
Although he was ready to jump down, Ye Xiaoyu was still pulled into it by him, and the gravity of the sinking was too great, and even with the sunshine, he was planted in the waterhole together.
The water in the pool was warmer than expected, but it was useless, because of the vines tied to her body, Ye Xiaoyu was directly pulled by Zou Youheng and sank, and she didn't even have the strength to struggle, so she sank straight down.
Halfway down, suddenly the gravity of the front traction disappeared, and as if she had lost her center of gravity, she began to float in other directions.
Water poured in from all directions, Ye Xiaoyu held her breath with all her might, with the shaking of the vines on her body, she could feel that the sunshine was around, but she didn't have the extra mind to pay attention, all her mental strength was now on controlling her breathing.
The waterhole was very deep, and Ye Xiaoyu felt that she had been in the water for hundreds of years, but it was still pitch black ahead, and she couldn't feel the end at all, a black expanse. With no goggles, no oxygen mask, no diving gear, and her eyes open, she could only rely on her own sense to perceive her surroundings.
She didn't know what the situation of Qinglang and Zou Youheng was, anyway, she herself was about to overdraw to the limit of her perseverance.
Her eyes were closed, she held her breath, and she kept sinking, and she kept sinking, like a large stone tied to her body, pulling her down and down. The surrounding water kept burrowing into her ears and nose, Ye Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and forcibly resisted the water from rushing into her mouth. But no matter how much she insisted, she knew that she was almost at the limit, and her chest was extremely depressed, and Ye Xiaoyu thought it was going to explode several times.
The whole body began to weaken, and the teeth gradually began to become uncontrollable, it was so depressing, she really wanted to breathe a lot, even if it was to inhale water, as long as she could be freed.
Just when Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but open her mouth and began to breathe, a hand patted her shoulder, and then her whole person was pulled into a place similar to a corner by a force, and in just a moment, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt that her whole body began to become smooth.
Wow -
Ye Xiaoyu was like a chicken in the soup, and her whole body was wet and she was hugged by Qing Lang and came out of the water. As soon as her head poked out, she began to gasp for air, as if she had been silent under a waterhole for hundreds of years.
After breathing smoothly, Ye Xiaoyu began to be a little happy, it seems that she has been born and matured twice, and after going through so much, her deep-sea phobia is estimated to be cured. Sure enough, in the face of death, anything will become unimportant.
Suddenly a little hungry, since she survived, shouldn't she build yì The two of them went to find something to eat, they ran around for so many days, except for the meal at the Yuezhou wharf, which was a bit decent, and in the days that followed, they all lived on dry flatbread, which could not be regarded as life at all, and even survival, sometimes it could not be called very good.
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, there was a slightly weird cough behind him.
Ye Xiaoyu turned around in fright, but saw Qinglang's pale and somewhat embarrassed face, and was about to ask what was going on, following his gaze, he tragically found that he was still in Qinglang's arms. The two of them were immersed in the water, and Sunny was holding her behind her. It is precisely because of the sunny sun behind her that she can float on the water so stress-free.
Forehead......!!
After realizing this, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and her originally white and cold face suddenly seemed to be on fire.
Looking at this face at close range for the first time, Ye Xiaoyu found that he was even more delicate than usual, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes didn't seem to be able to fully describe his appearance, the long eyelashes, the dark eyes that couldn't see the love, and even the perennial pale complexion was like the icing on the cake, reflecting the whole person like a finely carved rare treasure. It's a pity that such a delicate face, combined with Qinglang's incomprehensible and cold temperament, is simply a tyrannical thing. (To be continued......)
