Chapter 60: The Secret Under the Water
"What?" He Nuo's eyes widened and he stared at the monkey king carefully.
As soon as the monkey king's head surfaced, when he saw He Nuo and Liao Xingyun who were surprised, he actually grinned, raised his hand and set off a splash of water, splashing it at them.
He Nuo subconsciously took a step forward, blocking the oncoming splash, his whole body was drenched in soup, and the water on the tips of his hair couldn't stop dripping down.
Liao Xingyun was a little apologetic, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.
When the monkey king saw He Nuo's embarrassed appearance, he beat his chest and gloated, laughed, and then held his breath and dived into the water, and disappeared again as a few bubbles emerged.
"What should I do?" Liao Xingyun asked.
He Nuo pondered for a while and said, "There is something strange under this water!" Zhao Mingzhao didn't move for so long just now, and in terms of time, it was long enough to hold his breath, and... Those monkeys have been in the water for so long, there must be something underwater! ”
As soon as He Nuo's words fell, they saw another rapid bubble in the water, they thought it was the Monkey King who appeared again, and hurriedly took a few steps back to prevent the Monkey King from attacking again, but the thing in the water was exposed at this time, He Nuo saw it clearly, the thing exposed did not have so much hair, it was obviously a human head, and after a closer look, they found that it was Zhao Mingzhao!
He Nuo was a little relieved at this time, and was about to step forward to pick up Zhao Mingzhao, when he heard Zhao Mingzhao swing his hand, his posture was extremely distorted, and he shouted, "Be careful of the hole!" ”
Then he seemed to be forced into the water by something, and after a large splash, he quickly calmed down.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the calm water.
He Nuo stared at the surface of the water and made up his mind to go down to check it, he knew that Zhao Mingzhao must have encountered some danger down there just now, but regardless of his personal safety, he still forced himself to break free from the water and remind himself that in this case, he couldn't admit it.
"Be careful of the ...... hole" He Nuo thought about Zhao Mingzhao's words repeatedly, which shows that there should be a hole underwater, and that hole must lead to somewhere, and more importantly, there must be some traps in this hole, He Nuo thought about it for a while, and already had an idea, he knew that the knife technique in the water could not exert any power, so he carefully hung the long knife on his waist, and picked up a stone on the shore and held it in his arms, one is to overcome the buoyancy of the water, and the other can also defend himself.
Then He Nuo turned to Liao Xingyun and said, "We can't leave Zhao Mingzhao alone, I'll go down and take a look." ”
Unexpectedly, Liao Xingyun had already picked up a stone and put it in his arms, wanting to follow.
He Nuo shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous!" Zhao Mingzhao's skills are all on the road in the water! ”
Liao Xingyun said with a smile, "Then I should go down more, just now someone couldn't even cross the river by himself, or I helped him over, if it's dangerous below, I should go down and help more." As soon as she said these words, she realized that something was wrong, knowing that a boy like He Nuo was most concerned about self-esteem, and said in a low voice, "We are a team, and we should not be separated." ”
He Nuo had nothing to say, so he had to nod and say, "Then I'm in front." After speaking, he took a deep breath and jumped into the water, He Nuo then heard a splash of water behind him, and knew that Liao Xingyun was also following.
Because of the relationship between holding the stone in his arms, He Nuo sank quickly, and soon reached the bottom of the water, which was vague and a little unclear.
But He Nuo knew what he could find here, so he looked around.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find a ball of light, He Nuo made a gesture to Liao Xingyun beside him, and the two swam in the direction of the light.
What He Nuo didn't expect was that Liao Xingyun's underwater kung fu was excellent, his swimming style was extremely beautiful, he could move far forward with a flick of his hands and legs, and He Nuo was even slower because he was still holding the stone, and he could only follow her.
Liao Xingyun stretched his body like a mermaid, and paddled extremely flexibly to the place where the light came out, and when he got closer, Liao Xingyun found that the place where the light came out was a hole, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to enter, but his arm was grabbed.
Liao Xingyun looked back at He Nuo with a questioning expression. He Nuo shook his head, took the first step, threw the stone in his hand into the hole, and then pulled Liao Xingyun to hide quietly aside.
Unexpectedly, after a while after the stone entered the cave, there was a squeak of a monkey, which came from the water, which was particularly ethereal. The group of monkeys rushed up and found that it was actually a stone, and they were greatly annoyed, and immediately swam to the surface.
He Nuo and Liao Xingyun quickly entered the entrance of the cave, and there was a long corridor in the cave, at this time, He Nuo's breath was about to run out, and his head was a little dizzy, and some couldn't hold on.
Behind him was pushed forward by a force, He Nuo knew that it was Liao Xingyun, and his heart was moved.
The slope of the road is getting steeper and steeper, all the way down, until a boulder appears at the end, there is no other way, at this time He Nuo has reached the limit of holding his breath, he found that Liao Xingyun's body next to him is also trembling, obviously she is not much better.
He Nuo patted the boulder vigorously, not moving at all, exhaling... He Nuo didn't pay attention, a stream of water poured into his mouth, and his eyes immediately burst into gold, and he seemed to have only a remnant of consciousness left.
Rumble!
At this moment, the boulder was suddenly opened, and He Nuo's hand was carried by others, through the opening left by the boulder, and finally saw a piece of light on the water, and the two immediately swam to the surface of the water with their last breath.
A burst of cold air came, He Nuo gasped heavily, looked at Liao Xingyun beside him, and saw that her chest was lying together, obviously enjoying this long-lost air.
At this time, He Nuo noticed that they might have come to the third layer of the Qianran Underground Palace, he glanced around, and found that there was only an empty piece of water, and there was a shore far away, but the whole environment was dark, and there was no place to see in the distance.
But perhaps because of this, they were not discovered all at once.
He Nuo thought of the boulder and asked, "What happened just now?" ”
Liao Xingyun gasped for a while, and then replied, "There is a small raised stone next to that boulder, which seems to be a mechanism, and as soon as I press it a little harder, the boulder will be opened." ”
He Nuo was ashamed for a while when he heard this, "I wanted to take care of you, but I didn't expect you to take care of me all the way." ”
Liao Xingyun shook his head, "I admire you for donating blood to save your friends, it may just be you...... Well, now that my health is not good enough, I have more trouble on the road. But your spirit is admirable, I once thought that if it were me, I might not have this courage, you are the real hero! ”
He Nuo's face was hot, saving Meng Xiaochen at that time was just due to his own heart, and he didn't think so far, at this moment he was called a big hero by such a girl, He Nuo was a little embarrassed. He wanted to change the subject and asked, "What about Zhao Mingzhao?" He must be in the darkness over there, let's go and see. ”
But at this moment, He Nuo heard a concussive sound underwater, his heart sank, he looked at Liao Xingyun, and saw her nodding, both of them had the same idea: those troublesome monkeys are back!
