Chapter 70: Jumping into the Underground Lake
Now that Lei nodded, Julius had no intention of leaving immediately. And with Lulunaka here, he didn't think he could really just walk away like that—for Lulunaka, he was a good laborer, and that's what he knew about himself.
There's nothing else going on in this hall anymore. Lulunaka walked ahead, followed by Julius and Lei, who followed her to the edge of the underground lake.
Julius didn't expect to be able to return to this place, when he and Rei came to this place blindly in order to escape the black robe, and then Rei was injured and he was almost burned to death. It wasn't a long time passed, but returning here made Julius feel like he had returned to this place after a long time.
The edge of the lake is smooth, and one step further can step into the lake, but looking at the pitch black lake, Julius does not have the courage to step in, if there is no difference between the depth and shallowness of this lake, and it is an abyss after going down, then he is probably hopeless, he doesn't think that Lulunaka will take a hand and pull herself up - Lei's words, he will probably try hard.
Lulunaka crouched on the edge of the lake, reached for the water, and splashed it on the surface, causing the lake to ripple in layers. "There's a lot of water...... What kind of fool would think that this water can be pumped clean, it's really funny. ”
She played in the water for a while, then looked up at Julius and Lei, "If you think of it, you have to jump into this lake." ”
The two of them who heard Lulunaka say this immediately turned their faces not very good. "Is that what you call safe? I don't think drowning is a safe thing, it's probably a safe way to die. ”
"Of all the ways I've seen to die, drowning is a safe way to die...... Or should I say it's safe? After all, there is not much pain. Lulunaka laughed, then pulled two slender bottles out of her bosom and threw them at the two of them.
Julius and Rei both took the bottle, a beautiful slender glass bottle, crystal clear, and the liquid inside could be clearly seen. With this quality alone, even if the glass bottle is empty, it can be sold for a good price. There is also a thin cork on the glass bottle to block it so that the dark blue transparent liquid inside does not spill out.
This is a strange liquid that Rei has never seen before, and this color, although it looks beautiful, but this color of liquid, it looks really unsettling. She'd seen even more bizarre potions in the rat path, and most of them were taken out to deceive people...... She didn't know why Lulunaka had pulled out two bottles of what looked like potions.
Julius had become accustomed to Lulunaka pulling out strange things, even if she didn't know where to hide them. "What is this?" he asked Lulunaka very directly, she couldn't twist and pinch at this time, she had to ask what the potion was for, otherwise she might not even be mentally prepared when she was forced to drink it.
"Something that allows you to breathe in the water, if you don't drink it, you can't follow me to the deepest part of the underground lake. Lulunaka replied, "It's okay if you don't want to drink, but you'll have to get out of here." ”
The two dead black robes had companions, and Julius and Rei knew about it, and if they didn't plan to follow Lulunaka, they really had to go back the way they came, and the sooner the better. But now that they've followed Lulunaka to the lake, Rei doesn't want to change her mind at this time.
She unplugged the cork and poured the liquid from the bottle into her mouth. The blue liquid tasted like water, and the cold feeling after drinking it made her shiver. Holding the bottle aloft, turning the bottom of the bottle upside down and drinking the liquid from its contents, Rei handed the empty bottle to Lulunaka. "That's it, right?"
Lulunaka nodded happily, "Of course, it's so refreshing, cutie." ”
"Can you stop calling me cutie?" Rei had been paying attention to Lulunaka's name for herself since just now, and this cute name made her feel uncomfortable. But Lulunaka is not the one who changes her habits just because of what others say, she just laughs a few times, and she doesn't mean to listen to Lei's words at all.
Julius sighed when she saw that Lei had drunk the potion Lulunaka had given her, and she could only drink it as well.
Seeing that both of them had drunk the potion, Lulunaka clapped her palms, "Very well, so that you can follow me to the real underground to play." ”
Before Julius could ask what to do next, Lulunaka was already on her feet. She faced the two of them, turned her back to the lake, and waved at both of them, "Then I'll go first, and you'll have to keep up." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lulunaka's body leaned back and she fell into the lake. Julius and Rei react when Lulunaka makes a splash, but Lulunaka is no longer visible because she has sunk into the lake.
If it were someone else, Julius would have wondered if this person had suicidal thoughts, but Lulunaka didn't think there was such a thing.
Lulunaka didn't say anything and just fell into the lake. He didn't say anything to Julius and Lei, just gave the two of them a potion that they claimed to be able to breathe in water, and just went first. Rei had thought that Lulunaka had something else to explain, but she didn't expect her to jump down so simply—did she have to jump down like this? Even after drinking the potion, she hesitated for a moment. What if the potion didn't work at all after she jumped? Then she really had to drown.
Julius could see Rei's concerns, and in fact he would have had them if he weren't familiar with Lulunaka. "Don't worry, at least in this kind of thing, she doesn't lie. Julius said to Leigh, and he walked to the lake and made a gesture of jumping down, "Even if she lied to you, I would be at the bottom." ”
Julius also jumped straight down in order to reassure Rei. Even if she didn't trust Lulunaka, at least she would believe in her companion who had been with her for a while.
Seeing that Julius also jumped, Lei's worry was indeed less than half of it, and she no longer hesitated, and jumped down. Two more splashes erupted on the surface of the lake, and then calmed down.
