Falling from a height of more than ten meters, and there is a deep pool below, we are naturally fine.

In mid-air, the person was ready to fall into the water.

Yan Xiaoying even had time to make a gesture with me, which meant that we would dive under the bottom of the deep pool to see if there was a way out at the bottom.

She didn't believe that there was only such a deep well under the bronze pillar, after all, we didn't see any of the people who came in.

Besides, Gan Lan was also pulled down by the red-haired monster's hand just now, and she disappeared at this time.

Above the deep pool, nine columns of water continue to water all year round, but the water level of this deep pool does not continue to rise. From this, it can be seen that there must be an outlet under the water, or an undercurrent is connected.

We followed the falling position and plunged into the water in an instant.

I don't know how many meters deep it is, Yan Xiaoying fell deeper than me because she was carrying a heavy backpack.

After falling into the water, she did not immediately surface, but continued to dive down the slippery wall rocks into the depths of the pool.

Seeing this, I followed her and dived down.

The water is clear, and under the beam of the flashlight, the scene below is clear.

It's also a shame that when I went into the city to buy equipment, I didn't save money for myself, and the flashlights I bought were all hard quality, soaked in water, and did not go out in a short time.

The bottom of the water is clear, the stone walls are smooth, and there is nothing else.

It is worth mentioning that the water under this deep pool is warmer than the lake outside, and it is almost like a hot spring. Can you make the lake water warm outside, I wonder if the source is under this deep pool?

Looking down with a flashlight, we found that the pool was much deeper than we imagined, and the beam of the flashlight could extend a distance of more than ten meters underwater.

Falling into the water from a high altitude, plus diving, it was already nearly 20 meters at this time, and the bottom of the deep pool was still not seen.

After diving about five meters again, I started to feel the pressure when the space under the water suddenly became wider.

I don't know how big it is down there, but there's no end to it visually anyway.

The whole deep pool is like a bottle, narrow at the top and a wide space at the bottom.

After diving down here, I could barely hold my breath, and I was just about to beckon Yan Xiaoying to surface to take a breath, but the other party swam directly in a certain direction, as if I was attracted by something.

Unable to speak underneath the water, I shook the flashlight beam, hoping she would notice.

But she was so enchanted that she didn't pay any attention to me.

Her strength is stronger than mine, she has reached the so-called spiritual realm, and her breath-holding kung fu is naturally stronger than me, but I can't help it at this time.

Seeing her swim deeper and deeper, I couldn't catch up with her at this time, and I couldn't shout.

In desperation, he had to abandon Yan Xiaoying and swim towards the water.

This is the difference in strength, there is no way at all, and it is only now that I clearly realize how much difference there is between the so-called physical realm and the spiritual realm.

Finally surfaced, and I stepped on the water and gasped for air.

The surrounding stone walls are slippery, and there is no place to stay, thanks to the fact that I have been swimming since I was a child, the water is good, and it is not a big problem to hold on to the rock wall.

After resting for half a minute, he finally breathed evenly, but at this time, he still didn't see Yan Xiaoying float up, and he couldn't help but get anxious.

Taking a deep breath, I was about to dive down to investigate the situation when I suddenly heard the sound of a copper pillar above my head.

Beneath this sealed deep well, the copper pillar is like a huge sound speaker, and any sound that comes from it will be infinitely amplified.

"Could it be that Lin Miao didn't worry about us, so he also followed?"

I thought to myself, and looked up with my flashlight in the direction of the copper pillar.

Vaguely, I saw a monkey-like monster lying on top of the bronze pillar. It was looking at me condescendingly.

The thing seemed to be afraid of light, and when it saw me holding a flashlight, it was like a gecko along the outer wall of the copper pillar, and kept climbing up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing it disappear into the dark space above the copper pillar, I secretly said badly, it turned out that the way out was not under the deep pool, but above the deep pool.

However, I had already jumped down, the surrounding rock walls were slippery, and it was impossible to climb up again, and Yan Xiaoying was still under the water at this time.

With that in mind, I took another deep breath and dived again.

This time I didn't go into the water from a high place, and when I dive back to the same place, I couldn't hold my breath.

But I endured it and continued to dive, touching the direction I saw Yan Xiaoying swimming in before I floated up just now.

I was holding my breath uncomfortably, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger.

The next moment, I don't know if it was because I broke through to the limit of the human body, and the feeling of suffocation suddenly alleviated a lot.

It was as if something had been broken, and it was a strange and mysterious feeling.

At the moment, I don't have time to think about it, because I found a water hole in the rock face under the water. The water hole was about a meter wide, and the inside was very irregular, but it was as black as a giant mouth of an abyss.

Yan Xiaoying swam in this direction just now, I wonder if she entered this water hole?

I lay on the edge of the hole and looked inside with a flashlight.

At this time, the change reappeared, and suddenly a strong pulling force came from the water hole, which sucked me in at once.

This suction force is too strong, I have no room to resist at all, the whole person hits Xuan'er with the current, and does not go to the deep cave.

When I was sucked in, my body kept colliding with the inner wall of the water hole, and I was faint and exhausted, and I don't know how many mouthfuls of water I drank, and my brain was blank.

Thankfully, the suction didn't last long, and by the time it was gone, I hadn't lost my mind, but my brain was blank and I couldn't swim for a while.

I thought I was going to die under the water, but just as the thought arose in my mind, I saw a bright light swimming towards me.

Then I felt like I was being pulled towards the water.

When I got out of the water, I couldn't help but spit out and inhale heavily, and I almost lost half my life.

I grabbed something on the side, soaked it in the water, and rested for a few minutes before my strength and sanity gradually recovered, but my head and ears were still buzzing, and it was difficult to recover for a while.

Yan Xiaoying reached out to help me soothe my chest and said, "It seems that your breath-holding kung fu still needs to be practiced again!" ”

I took a long and deep breath, feeling that my whole person was much more comfortable, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this: "Miss Yan...... Don't make fun of me......"

As I spoke, I couldn't help coughing, my body moving, and then I heard the sound of clanging and clanging in my ears.

I wondered in my heart, and when I looked up and saw what I was seeing, I couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw that the place where we were at this time was boxy, like a room, and there were many large black iron chains with thick arms hanging from the water around us.

And it was one of the cold and hard chains that he was clutching.

Not far in front of Yan Xiaoying and me, a thick and huge python head emerged from under the water, and its eyes were staring at us.

I screamed.

"Snakes! There's a big python here, run away! ”

While shouting, he had to paddle away from the big python in front of him.

At this time, Yan Xiaoying grabbed me and said angrily: "What are you afraid of, a stone statue is not a real snake, you can see it clearly." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I turned around to take a closer look, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, followed by a wave of embarrassment.

I saw that the python in front of me was indeed a stone statue, the same as the stone statue of the monitor lizard we saw on the fourth floor before.

I don't blame me for making a fuss, because the carving of this big python in front of me is so realistic. Almost every scale on its body was distinct, especially its head sticking out of the water, raised high in the air, facing us, and at a glance, it looked like it was real.

The part that protrudes from the water is four or five meters long, and the lower half/body is submerged under the water, and I don't know how long it is.

In addition to the snake I saw in the reservoir at the beginning, it was the first time I saw such a huge python. Even though it's just a stone sculpture, it still gives me an eerie feeling.

"This place looks like an underground dungeon!"

Yan Xiaoying looked at the huge iron chains hanging around her, and said faintly: "I didn't expect this to be the case under the stone tower, there is no record of the relief we saw before. ”

"Water dungeon?"

I was stunned when I heard this, the situation here is indeed as Yan Xiaoying said, like a water prison.

The entire water prison is about half the size of a basketball court, and it is boxy, and it is impossible to form a natural water hole. And the reason why there are so many huge iron chains around is because these iron chains are locking the huge stone python.

Its body was firmly bound by iron chains, and I could even see an iron chain running through it at seven inches.

"With such a thick iron chain, it must take a lot of effort to build, but it is used to lock a carved python, and I don't know what those people thought before? Is it worth it? ”

I was a little speechless in my heart, these chains were made of unknown materials, and they were pitch black, cold as iron, and extremely heavy.

But it must have been hanging here locked with a stone python for a long time, I'm afraid it will have to be hundreds of years, if not a thousand years. It has been attacked by moisture all year round, but there is no sign of rust on the surface, only many dents, as if it was newly created, which is incomprehensible.

Huge iron chains are attached to the surrounding stone walls, which are inlaid with countless iron pillars and iron rings to hold them in place.

Everything is true, except for the locked stone python, which is fake and incomprehensible.

"Maybe there's some special symbolism in that."

Yan Xiaoying said: "The thoughts of the ancients cannot be determined by common sense, they have many cultural customs. What's more, this is the territory of the Gaoshan people. The Gaoshan people, we don't know about their inheritance customs, maybe they just want to suppress the fierce beasts in the water, right? After all, living on an island in a lake, you have to be careful. ”

"That's true."

I nodded and said, "People who live by the river and the lake have this kind of customs and culture. Just like the people who live on the banks of the Yellow River, they bow down to the river god, worship the dragon king, worship the Yellow River Niangniang, and even throw people and livestock into the river to pray for peace. The python must have been a symbol of the beast in the water, and they locked its statue here, and I guess it meant to suppress the beast in the lake......"
