Let's swing the sculls
The first time he came out of the pillar of light, Yu Siqi felt that he was falling.
This is normal, because other people are also following him.
Then, like everyone else, he fell like a dumpling on the small sampan that had already been placed.
Although the whole process seems a bit thrilling, after the actual experience, there is no concern about this.
However, when they lay on the side of the boat to hold themselves steady, they were still wet with splashes.
This seems to be due to the fact that the thin hull tilted at different angles in the process of carrying them.
Fortunately, they finally stabilized and did not let the only 'safe place' that could prevent them from falling into the water overturn in an instant.
When they became a little familiar with their surroundings, Yu Siqi noticed that there was also a pillar of light that had not dispersed, which was suspended on the water not far from them, which was very strange.
'Is this someone who has failed to teleport?' ’
Yu Siqi thought about it, and he remembered that they did seem to be missing one person. Of course, strictly speaking, William is no longer human, but he is still willing to treat him as a human being.
"You should be able to hear me, right?"
A voice came from the pillar of light, it was William's voice.
"Well, indeed. Why didn't you come? ”
Because he didn't know where to speak, Yu Siqi hesitated a little before aiming at the pillar of light.
"I can't help much in the past, so I might as well stay as your mouthpiece."
William told the truth.
"Why didn't she come out and do her job?"
Wan Jie asked in a dissatisfied tone.
"She obviously has more important things to do than 'chat' with you, otherwise I can't figure out why she would refuse to show up in person."
Regarding Wan Jie's dissatisfaction, William suddenly became unhappy. But after all, everyone couldn't see his face, so probably he himself realized that there was no point in losing his temper with the air.
"Where did the key I brought with me go? Is it in that pillar of light? ”
Fair asked his own question before Wan Jie and William were serious.
"It's, it seems, it's really in there. You wait a minute, I'll ask Shengjiaxian. ”
William replied unconfidently, and then completely exposed the 'uncertainty' in his words.
After a few moments, William spoke again, "She said that the key was too heavy to be able to put it out like you. Right now, she's using the detention technique to forcibly hold it down and prevent it from falling directly into the water. But this is clearly not a suitable solution, after all, the pillar of light does not run with people. And the longer it drags on, the more energy is consumed. Eventually, she'll have to loosen the 'restrictions'. ”
"This little boat certainly can't handle that kind of weight, so we obviously can't get it here again."
Father Ann looked at the waterline on both sides of the ship, and then at Fair's size, and said.
"Isn't there a good way?"
Yu Siqi asked.
"Yes, definitely, but I have to confirm something with Fell first."
Father An said with a pleasant face.
"Is there anything I need answered, priest?"
It was impossible for Fair, who was sitting on the sidelines, not to hear what Father Ann had just said.
No, as soon as the priest finished the previous sentence, he immediately asked about the next sentence.
"I'm curious what happens if the key gets into the water."
Fr. Ann asked.
"Nothing will happen. It's not a 'water-soluble' artifact, it's a solid material. But did the priest mean to let it fall straight into the water? It's a hassle to salvage! ”
Phil frowned slightly, looked at the water and said.
"If you tie the chains in advance, it shouldn't be particularly troublesome."
Father Ann thrust his hand into the water and pulled out a chain thicker than his wrist.
"It's a good solution. William, tell Saint to hand over the key. ”
Ever noticed the priest's hand, he nodded repeatedly.
After hearing the order, William didn't say much.
After just another moment, the pillar of light vanished, and the familiar key fell out of it. When Father Ann saw this, he immediately threw out the chain in his hand and chanted the phrase "Decree - entanglement." ”
The chain, which was only a few meters long, was transformed into an infinite stretch of light by the priest's 'law', and it quickly clinged to the still falling key, and in the last moments when it was almost sinking into the water, it became entangled.
The layers of light wrapped around it took several circles before slowly dissipating.
Looking at Father An, who alternately dragged the key that had been submerged in the water with his hands alternately, Fell also pulled out a wooden paddle from his feet in time, skillfully inserted it into the water, and paddled.
"If you don't mind, let me row the boat. Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes, don't look at me now that I'm really a bit 'strong', I was still a famous trendy man in this area. ”
Fair's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.
In the midst of this uncontrollable laughter, Yu Siqi looked at his big belly that was trembling with his body swinging back and forth, and said with a smile, "Haven't you realized that your current figure is no longer just 'strong'?" ”
"Judging by my memories from the last time I came back, we would probably only need to paddle for about ten minutes before we were able to see the cave."
Fair clearly didn't want to admit this 'brutal truth' in public. For this reason, he even tried to divert everyone's attention with other topics.
"I'll help too. In that case, we should be able to reduce the time to less than five minutes. ”
Wan Jie picked up another wooden paddle and swung it as well.
For a time, the travel speed of this small sampan directly doubled.
But at the same time, Yu Siqi quickly noticed it. Under the premise that everyone participates in labor, he has become the most 'idle' one, which makes him very uncomfortable.
'Should I have been born to be a spectator?' ’
Yu Siqi complained to himself, of course, this was an unspoken complaint, and no one could hear it.
But then, he calmed down the grievances in his heart, adjusted his mentality, and felt that this was good.
At the very least, it made him the most suitable one among them to observe the situation around him.
Since there is water all around, there is nothing else in sight.
Therefore, this also gave him the illusion that Fell was not lying to them.
However, just as he was about to translate this illusion into reality, he saw a pillar.
It's a very, very thick pillar.
According to Yu Siqi's simple visual inspection, it should be at least four to five meters wide in diameter, which is simply terrifying.
And, the way it appears is also very strange. It's so lonely in the water, unusually abrupt.
"Do you all see that pillar? Lean in, here we are. ”
Different from Yu Siqi's attitude, Phil's expression was very excited when he saw the pillar, as if he had seen the end.
"How I don't remember this kind of thing here."
Although Wan Jie still had doubts, she still sailed the boat with Fer.
As they approached, a very strange but familiar picture appeared in front of their eyes.
The sides of the columns are empty, and there is nothing in them, except for a flight of stairs that descends vertically.
"We'll have to go down the outcrop, the hole is right underneath."
Fell reminded everyone after they saw the stairs.
"Go down? Are you sure you won't drown? ”
Wan Jie raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Of course not, didn't the tax collector realize that there was no water down there?"
Fell smiled, and his bloated figure quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
