Chapter 407: Spring
The water here is not as warm as it used to be, and although it is not so cold, Barrett is very uncomfortable inside.
Without the protection of the transformation tool, he couldn't hold on all the time.
Paddled desperately, with no direction, he could only rush to the top by feeling.
After paddling for a while, I always felt that my right hand was a little heavy, and I looked down to see that it was the big sword that was pulled out of the back of the giant beast.
Now was not the time to think about such a thing, and Barrett struggled with it for a moment, several times wanting to throw it down.
But this is a place that cannot be speculated by common sense, and it makes him depressed for a while.
If you don't throw it, the ghost will know how deep the water really is.
Throw it, according to the previous urine nature, it is likely that this sword is the key to solving the puzzle.
As he struggled, he struggled to find a possible surface of the water.
It's not a good sign that you don't see the light, either it's a waterway buried deep underground, or it's the bottom of a bottomless pool.
None of that is a good thing, at least for Barrett right now.
The oxygen in his lungs was getting less and less, and he felt the corners of his eyes throb and his throat ached like fire.
This is a sign of severe hypoxia, which has just been tried several times during the storage pod.
But now there is no such mother who can save her life, and Barrett knows this deeply.
The slamming of his head against the hard stone wall made Barrett a little happy.
Although his head hurts a little, it means that he has finally found the edge, and the water here is not endless.
Treading water along the stone wall in the opposite direction of the sinking hand and foot together, he needed to find space to breathe.
His hand kept groping for the stone wall, and finally, his hand reached into the void.
Greedily breathing in the air, although it was dark around him, Barrett was calm.
At least you can't die, right?
It was pitch black and you couldn't see anything.
There were no living creatures in his senses, and Barrett could only continue to discredit and move forward.
Although it has night vision, that doesn't mean you can see in a place where there is no light at all.
After swimming for a while, he found that there was no way.
In front of it is the kind of stone wall that clings to the surface of the water.
Where to go? The devil knows how the big guy threw himself in here.
As he was depressed, a warm feeling came out of Barrett's chest.
A faint red light, albeit only a little brightness, did illuminate the neighborhood.
I saw its little head emerge from Barrett's broken vest, and he looked around with a ghostly head.
It's good luck.
Maybe the blazing phoenix was just attached to his body and was in an armored state, and was not used by Lily as something to invade his body, so he brought it here.
"This little look............" Barrett cried and laughed as he looked at the hair on his head that was still dripping, and the feathers all over his body were sticking into a pitiful ball.
He found that the light emitted by the blazing phoenix this time was much dimmer than last time, and his mental state was also much weaker.
It was as if he had been injured in some way.
Position of the chest............ It's like being kicked by that huge big dick!
Gratitatively wiping the drops of water from its head, Barrett understood that it was it that protected itself and ate part of the damage.
The blazing phoenix also chirped and pecked his fingers with the tip of his short mouth.
With the light it emitted, Barrett tried to find an exit.
There is no roof in sight above the head, only deep darkness.
There is no bottom in the waterhole below.
After a circle around the stone wall, Barrett understood that this was the next puzzle.
He had to find an exit.
Since this is the puzzle, then he must have been given a way to solve it.
Where are the key points? Barrett scrutinized what might be involved.
Blazing? It doesn't seem to do much, except as a small light bulb.
Sword? Barrett only had the strength to look at the sword with a faint red light.
At first, he thought that this sword should be some kind of ancient magic weapon, or some particularly awesome equipment.
At this time, he almost didn't squirt.
"Oh my God, that's what it is." Although it was big, he could still see that this thing was a paper blade.
What is a paper blade? It is a cutter blade with a blade on one side and an opening similar to a jam on the other.
Due to its unreasonable size, this card hole resembles the handguard grip of a greatsword.
That's when he misunderstood.
What can this stuff be used for? You can't stick it into the stone wall, can you?
Shaking his head and smiling wryly, Barrett jokingly slammed his blade against the hard stone wall.
And then............ His jaw almost didn't fall off the water.
The hard stone walls weren't much more solid than the mud in front of this thing.
It's just a joke, but it directly makes half of the blade cut into the stone wall.
"I'm going, do you want me to make my own way out?" Looking up at the void with no edge in sight, Barrett had an idea.
Since this thing is so sharp, he can directly dig a foothold in the mountain wall and try to climb to the top to have a look.
Flipping the blade, Barrett holds the third card hole, a length that allows the angled blade to become a dagger that is not too long, and the biggest advantage of this is that it is easy to control.
After all, he was just going to cut a few footholds, not a few cracks in the stone wall.
Pushing the water with both feet is really hard to borrow in the water.
He could only rely on the impact again and again to hit the stone wall, widening the gap.
Gradually, there was a place where you could stay.
Stepping on the cut gap, Barrett struggled to keep his body against the stone wall.
Finally out of the water, Barrett continued to move forward.
Although the progress was slow, as the altitude was getting higher and higher, the only places he could leverage his strength were the slippery and weak stone walls that had been flooding all year round.
Eventually, Barrett climbed to about a dozen positions.
What's wrong............
There was a jolt overhead, and he almost fell off his grasp.
Finally regaining his balance, he looked up.
What the hell is going on? With his face pressed against the stone wall, Barrett finally sensed something was wrong.
At this point, the stone wall is still wet, which means that it is also soaked with water all year round!
Rumble...............
The deafening roar came from far and near, and Barrett finally saw why this was happening.
Before he could finish his sentence of "I ............", he was swept straight back into the deep pool by the oncoming waterfall.
…………
The huge current of water carried him straight to the depths of the water, even though he had no idea where it was.
As his consciousness blurred, Barrett could only go with the flow.
The terrifying impact directly stunned him.
I don't know how long it took to float, but when he opened his eyes again, the blazing phoenix was pecking at his face.
"It's like a big flush toilet, bad luck." As long as you don't drown, it's good luck.
Barrett laughed instead.
Shaking his still dizzy head, Barrett realized that they were now on top of an open stone wall.
There was water half a finger deep underfoot, and there was endless darkness around them.
Standing up with the paper cutter in his hand, Barrett found a direction to walk.
As he walked, he could only talk to the blazing phoenix in his arms.
"I don't know where I went, it's a bit dark and terrifying." Barrett chattered, empty, lonely and cold, which is the best portrayal of him.
"Chirp!" I don't know if that little thing understands it, but I know chirp.
"Good thing I have a little light bulb of yours." Barrett patted it on the back through the vest and smiled.
After walking for a while, the ground shook again.
Barrett was a little confused, and came again??
Last time it was a waterfall poured over the head, but what is it this time? Flat waves??
His eyes swept around, and he only had a paper cutter more than a meter long in his hand.
Struggling to stick the cutter into the ground, Barrett had only this one trick.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, it's all playing with water this day." His mouth muttered, and as the vibration slowly grew louder, he could only wait for the water to come.
Rumble............
The oncoming waves even made him wonder where he was.
Call............
With the huge waves came floating, the paper cutter in his hand was slowly tilting, and the impact was pushing it to cut through the ground.
Fortunately, although the waves were violent, they did not last long.
Just when the cutter could no longer support it, the water flow gradually weakened.
The waist-deep water is receding, gradually returning to a half-finger-deep condition.
"Is this drainage?" He probably understood how the waves came about.
They must have been near the drain of the pool above.
He was brought here along the drain due to the previous current.
And above that pool is where the water drains regularly.
The big wave just now was another stream of water that was discharged from the pool.
"That is, either I go down this drainage?" Thinking of this, he shook his head, because there is no stagnant water here, which means that the drainage system here is very strong.
There are two definitions of this power, either it drains very fast or it has a very large number of points that can be drained.
Neither of them is a good thing.
The drain is fast, which means that the drain is very wide, and it is likely that he does not know where he will be washed away.
On the other, maybe he couldn't even find the place he wanted to go because there were too many pipes.
It's just that everything here is stone, which makes him feel a very incongruous feeling, who can find out this kind of ghostly workmanship?
To be honest, he was not surprised to use masonry to build such a place, and this kind of natural stone wall is really ............
Wait, Barrett had a flash of inspiration in his mind, transforming the tool............
Apart from them, even a thousand years alone would not have been able to build such a huge project.
It is unimaginable that the space that cannot be seen at the edge is all natural stones.
It's not as simple as digging a tunnel......
Since it was made by a modification tool, it is likely that there will be a modification tool left in this space.
After coming into contact with Kama, Barrett learned a lot about the modifiers, which adhere to the surface of the object being modified, which is a special rule for them.
Because after deconstructing matter, the basic units that tools can carry are limited, and they will consciously reconstitute and create their own kind.
The excess will be attached there, which is why the red slime masses still have structural properties in the Utoka research base.
Because there is an excess of modifiers in it, and out-of-control modifiers will unconsciously attack any approaching non-authorized objects.
Barrett sat down, his hands teasing the little thing in his arms.
"It's all up to you, baby!" He doesn't have any transformation tools in his body, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have them around him!
This gadget doesn't look like a chicken's virtue, but it's really the product of the evolution of the red slime mass.
What it was like before, Barrett certainly hasn't forgotten.
"Chirp!" The little guy understood, and he wanted it to dig into the wall and get some of his friends out.
Although he didn't like to do it very much, since he had begged like this, Blazing Phoenix did not refuse.
Twisting its little buttocks and poking its little paws tentatively into the water, it was visibly shivering.
Or is it the warmth of his chest......... Turning his head resentfully, he glanced at Barrett, and that little look was simply heartbreaking.
Barrett resisted the uncomfortable feeling and patted it on the back with his hand as a sign of encouragement.
I saw that the light on the blazing phoenix was getting stronger.
"Chirp!!" It chirped, and countless feathers shot out of its tiny wings and stuck in the ground.
The feathers that had fallen to the ground softened and disappeared, and the ground continued to collapse downward.
Small hollows were scattered across the city, and then suddenly collapsed, and clumps of reddish slime crawled out.
Unlike the cloudy red slime they used to be, they are now in a nearly transparent mass of slime, but they glow red.
As the ground caved in bigger and bigger, so did the slime mass, all of which were tools built by the Blazing Phoenix.
At this moment, the shaking under his feet came again.
Barrett was about to do the same, using his paper cutter to ride the waves again, only to find that countless clumps of slime had wrapped him around the blazing phoenix, and then the brush turned into hard stone.
It's like a stone hut, and although the space is small, there is no more water.
A portion of the slime continues to dig downward, as if looking for the edge of the stone wall.
Rumble! There was the sound of water crashing outside the stone wall behind him, but the stone wall, which was not too thick, was very solid and did not move.
Looking at the blazing phoenix in front of him, shaking the water droplets on the chicken feet, Barrett smiled.
The little creature is getting fatter and fatter because of the constant clinging of slime clumps back to its body.
Got fat............
After a while, the water receded, and the chick became a chubby chicken.
"Hahaha, grown up." Barrett couldn't help but laugh, and he was naturally greeted by angry chicken feet and a short mouth.
No wonder its resentful little eyes turned out to be fatter after it began to multiply tools............
"It's okay, it's okay, chubby is better." Barrett grinned as he stroked the top of his head and back with his hand.
Kicked him twice in hatred, and Blazing ignored him.
I saw a flower in front of me, and the stone wall made of slime disappeared.
They regained their slime form and poured out of their surroundings............
