Chapter 391: Race Against the Clock Underwater

Lu Xiu can't swim, but that's not a problem anymore, pine oil is less dense than water, even if a wading genius soaks in it, it can only sink uncontrollably to the bottom of the pool under the power of nature. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info to rescue Lu Yingying, who was only slightly lighter than his own weight, to find the specific location of Long Yu in a short period of time, and to find a way to climb up the same way, even if the boy has dragon blood, this is almost an impossible task.

The little dragon man raised his head and looked at Zhuang Dusk, who was blocking him with his blade. He didn't have any words, but his eyes were already filled with nameless karmic fire. However, this is not the time to fight desperately, the bubbles that floated up from the place where the girl fell into the water are rapidly becoming weaker, and there is not much time left for Lu Xiu to make a decision.

The boy gritted his teeth, as if he had forgotten the fact that he was not good at swimming and had been injured, he did not hesitate at all, bent down to avoid Zhuang Dui's blade, and rolled into the cabin full of pine oil without hesitation.

"Goodo......"

The viscous grease quickly crept through the cracks in the armor the moment it entered the water, soaking through every inch of the boy's inner lining. The slippery liquid poured down Luciu's nostrils and ears, and even though he had taken a big breath before rolling down, the young man, who had no swimming experience, still let out some of his breath in instinctive fear. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, barely holding his breath and not choking on the fat in his lungs all at once.

The boy tentatively opened his eyes under the water, but all he could see was a dark patch in front of him. The chamber was sealed, and only the faint torches overhead could still emit a slight glow, but that wasn't enough. He tried to concentrate, his eyes glowing slightly red in the darkness, and the surroundings finally became a little clearer, but that was all. The pain in his fingers and legs, as well as the fear of sinking in the water, made it difficult for him to further mobilize his red pupils, and he could only see three or five meters around him.

The area between the two cabins is not spacious, surrounded by wooden beams and keels that support the hull. Lu Xiu grabbed a long beam beside him with one hand, stopped his downward trend, and found a temporary place to stay in the water. His hands and feet were still clumsy and unnaturally paddling, as if he was worried about falling to the bottom. Lu Xiu struggled to look down, but there was no trace of Lu Yingying who had sunk under the water, so he had to climb the beam of the boat and move sideways while looking for the girl's whereabouts.

Perhaps it was due to luck, but it didn't take long for a faint light to come from behind several beams. The boy followed the light through several layers of wooden structures, and finally saw the figure of the little scribe on the side near the bow of the boat.

The girl did not lose consciousness, but hung in the water on all fours clinging to a wooden beam. Lu Xiu was overjoyed, the bubbles in his mouth kept bubbling, and he wanted to shout, but he forgot that he was below the water's surface. He hurriedly gagged his mouth, and moved like an ape to Lu Yingying's side by dragging the beams of the boat.

When he got closer to the girl, he realized that the glimmer of light was emitted by an irregular crystal the size of a skull in front of him. The crystals are blue-black, no different from ordinary coal, but they eerily emit a cyan blue glow. The crystal was bound between the wooden beams by a hose-like metal rope, and the metal tube that bound it stretched along the beam to the dimly lit depths of the cabin as the waves of water stirred up by the two men's movements.

"Long Yu." Noticing Lu Xiu's arrival, the girl stopped what she was doing and told the boy with her mouth.

The little dragon man understood, holding the wooden beam beside him with one hand, and pulling out the short blade inserted in the back of his waist with the other hand. The dagger was given to him by Zhuang Dusk to break the boat, and it was hastily tucked into the back of the waist before the boy entered the water. Lu Xiu used a short knife to cut the metal rope that was wrapped around Long Yu.

The metal cord is only the thickness of the little finger, and it is hollow, and the strength is not high, and it is only a part of the mysterious "power facility", and the toughness was not considered when casting. Although Lu Xiu's cutting action became as comical as slow motion under the resistance of pine oil, the silver iron wire still broke easily under the blade, and Long Yu, who had been bound for hundreds of years, was easily freed from the binding with the cooperation of the two teenagers, and fell down heavily.

Lu Yingying's water nature seemed to be better than Lu Xiu's, her eyes were quick, her body was thrust down, and she grabbed the falling dragon jade, and a strange look appeared on the girl's face, but it was replaced by joy in an instant. Seeing that his companion and Long Yu were so easily found, Lu Xiu was also relieved, and took the lead and swam towards the exit overhead.

After swimming a few steps, he felt the pull behind him, and the little dragon man had to stop. As soon as the young man turned around, he saw that Lu Yingying was half a position behind him, pulling the corners of his clothes, and constantly shaking his head to himself.

"What is she going to do?" Lu Xiu was full of doubts in his heart, but he had to stop according to the girl's wishes. It has only been a few tens of seconds since he entered the water, and although the boy was panicked at first, he has begun to become familiar with the underwater action at this moment. The little scribe tugged at the corner of his clothes, but he pulled him to the bottom of the water, and the pine oil sank extremely fast, not to mention that he also carried a piece of dragon jade that didn't look light, and in the blink of an eye, the soles of their feet had touched the ceiling of the lower cabin.

The girl squatted down, sat on Long Yu, pointed at the short blade in Lu Xiu's hand, and kept pointing at the floor.

Lu Xiu was not stupid, and instantly understood what Lu Yingying meant. Climb up the same way, whether it is with a hot Long Yu or not, the lives of the two of them will eventually be handed over to Zhuang Dui. For now, only by breaking a hole on the other side of the cabin can there be a chance of escape.

The young man did not dare to hesitate, and lifted the blade and slashed at the wooden board under his feet, and as soon as the blade of the short knife touched the ground, it involuntarily slipped and left only a shallow white mark on the wooden board.

"Waterproof paint!" Lu Yingying secretly screamed that in order to ensure that the grease did not leak, the shipbuilders probably applied a thick layer of paint around and below the bulkhead, and the paint was very slippery under the action of pine resin, and it was more difficult to break it from the inside than he thought. The girl was in a hurry, but she took a fancy to the metal sharp horns used to decorate Lu Xiu's helmet, she took off the boy's helmet without saying a word, used it as a weapon in both hands, and smashed it on the floor.

The two teenagers held their breath and smashed desperately on the floor, and the water was muddy by floating sawdust in an instant, but it still had little effect, Lu Yingying entered the pool one step earlier than Lu Xiu, the girl's lung volume was smaller, the force of the smash became smaller and smaller, and her face became more and more ugly, her eyes suddenly turned white, she spit out a large mouthful of turbidity, and lay down softly on the bilge.

Lu Xiu saw all this, his mouth couldn't make a sound, he shook Lu Yingying's body twice, and saw that the other party's teeth were clenched, and there was no response, so he could only put her aside anxiously, and the short blade in his hand struck the bilge more quickly.

"Tuk Tuk-" The dagger slammed into the planks with a screeching sound that resounded through the pine oil pool in the cloister on the lower level.

"Yes...... Is it a monster? Suddenly, the trainee seemed to hear a girl's crisp inquiry.
