Chapter 207: The Mystery of the River

When the half-dog brought me to the waterwheel, it stood still, watching the waterwheel on this side of the riverbank.

The water flow of the underground river is very fast, and it is this rapid flow that can bring enough power to the water wheel. I watched the river for a while, and the water was too fast to see what it was, but the waterwheel that had been standing for an unknown number of years was very clear in my sight.

Half of the dog stood still, and I was confused and didn't understand what it meant. However, since this dog brought me here, it means that there must be a play in this place.

I don't know how these two waterwheels are controlled, but once the waterwheels are running, it means another drain and release.

The half-dog stood by the river for a while, and then leaned towards the riverbank. The water here is very heavy, the river bank is very slippery, and half of the dog only has two front legs left, so he does not dare to walk too close to the river. I looked at it and it seemed like it was trying to get closer to the left side of the waterwheel.

I held the waterwheel until I was just a step away from the river. There didn't seem anything unusual around, the river was flowing, and nothing else was in sight except for the waterwheel.

When I got to this place, half of the dog pulled back and exited a full ten meters away. It stunned me, and I didn't know what it was trying to do.

Immediately after, the half-cut dog shook its body, and with a buzz, the two bronze fragments on its neck collided together, and made that kind of soul-shaking magic sound.

"What a plane!" I didn't expect that half of the dog suddenly shook two bronze fragments at this time, and when the buzzing sound reached my ears, the whole head seemed to start shaking with the sound waves, and I was so angry that I was standing next to the river, and my brain was messed up, and my legs were uncontrollable, and I was likely to fall headlong.

With such a rapid current, the consequences of falling can be imagined.

My ears buzzed to the sound of the bronze shards, and I subconsciously felt if I had fallen for the tricks of this unlucky dog.

Fortunately, although I was standing by the river, there was the huge waterwheel next to me, and my body was crooked, and it happened to be stuck on the waterwheel.

The backpack I was stuck in the waterwheel, and it was very sturdy. This big backpack was taken from the team of Bao Weigong, although the old guy is nicknamed Fox, he is extremely shrewd, but in the procurement of equipment, he is not stingy at all, and he uses all the best goods. As soon as the backpack is sturdy, I don't have to worry about falling into the river for a while.

Airplanes......

Half of the dog shook his body, and after the bronze shards made a sound, he seemed to look this way. Immediately after, its body shook again, and the bronze shards continued to buzz.

My mind was very confused, but my consciousness was not completely lost, and the first thought was that I had been cut off by a dog, and I greeted the eighteen generations of the unlucky dog ancestors in turn.

However, in just a few seconds, another thought suddenly popped into my messy mind. Half of the dog ran out more than ten meters before shaking its body and making the bronze shards rattle, and because it was so far away, I was less affected. If it's really tricked me, why bother?

My ears were ringing, my head was a mess, and my eyes were in a trance. Faintly, I saw half of the dog running from that side and spun around twice in front of me.

"I'm ...... now Just step on the horse and want to ...... you "I......'m not in a good state, mainly because the sound of this bronze fragment has too serious an impact on the nerves and senses, and the whole person is like motion sickness.

Half of the dog didn't react, leaning forward beside me and looking at the river below the waterwheel.

My vision was blurry, but I wasn't completely sane, and I could still see something. With the half-dog's gaze, I suddenly noticed some slight changes in the surface of the river flowing below.

The current was originally very fast, but the surface of the river below the waterwheel made a dense splash. It's as if something is constantly vibrating in the water, causing the flow to change. As soon as I saw this, I had an idea.

There is something in the river, and the half-dog is leading this thing with the sound of bronze shards. I don't know exactly what the river is, but there seems to be a resonance between the things in the river and the sound of bronze fragments.

Half of the dog retracted and did not move, closing his eyes and resting. After a while, I gradually recovered, and I struggled to pull my backpack out of the stuck, and I gasped heavily.

By now, I can be sure that the half-dog has no ill intentions, it is just for me to see what lies beneath the surface. But this method is too dangerous, if I hadn't been close to the waterwheel, I guess the river would have disappeared by this time.

"I'll ask you, can you say hello in advance next time?" I shone a flashlight on half of the dog, and it drooped its head and didn't respond.

The river is calm again, and the water is flowing normally. However, I have already memorized the changes in the water surface just now. From the waterwheel to the river below, it is estimated that there is a distance of three or four meters, I took a coil of rope, fixed it on the waterwheel, and pulled it hard, the rope is very strong, and it is absolutely no problem to bear the weight of three or four hundred catties.

Once the rope was secured, I grabbed it and started sliding down slowly. In the face of such a turbulent current, I couldn't help but feel weak in my heart. When I got above the water, I put my feet in the water and tried it, but the underground river didn't see a little sunlight all year round, and the water was cold and cold.

It must have been in the water, but I didn't know the exact depth, and I didn't have any professional salvage equipment, so I had to go into the water to figure it out.

I grabbed the rope and submerged into the water little by little, the current was so strong that people would be washed away as soon as they went. After a few attempts, I found a little experience, fastened the rope to the belt with a buckle, and then grabbed the stones by the river with both hands, and if I had enough strength, I could not be washed away by the water for a while.

My body was completely submerged in the water, and before I could search, my feet felt like I had stepped on something. I surfaced, took a fresh breath, and when I went down any further, I freed my hand to see what I was stepping on. It's just that my strength is not strong enough, and the water nature is not good, and it is difficult to support one arm, and as soon as one hand is released, it is immediately washed away by the water.

I swam back with the rope in my tug, and I tried back and forth several times before I could reach the place where I had just stepped on it.

The touch of the hands is much more sensitive than the feet, and although I can't see anything, as soon as I touch something underneath, I feel that it is an iron cage.

As soon as I touched the iron cage, my heart was furious, and in that passage to the depths, there were many iron cages sunk in the ditch of the passage, and the cages contained some monkeys.

I wasn't sure what was inside the cage underwater, so I came up again and changed my breath, but luckily when I came in this time, I was fully prepared, and there was a bundle of short rope in my backpack, so I took out this rope again, tied it to the waterwheel, and then fixed the other end to the cage under the water.

By the time I was done, my body had been washed away by the river and I was shivering. I pulled the rope and tried to lift the iron cage in the water, but with the buoyancy of the water, I felt a little struggling, which means that the cage is very heavy, and if the cage leaves the water, I may not be able to lift it.

Half of the dog had been lying silently by the river, and when I was about to lift the cage, it came running. It's just that it doesn't help at all, it's all up to me.

Sure enough, after the cage was lifted out of the water, I couldn't lift it. I thought about it and studied it next to the waterwheel, and there were some simple levers and pulleys on the waterwheel, and I didn't know if it could be used. It took me a long time to get the rope onto the waterwheel.

This time, it was still very difficult to pull, but it was much better than before, and gradually, the iron cage that sank in the water was pulled up little by little.

By the time the cage was fully pulled up, my arms were sore. I shook my hands vigorously, and the light of the flashlight was directly aimed at the cage.

This cage is about the same as the one I saw in the deep passage ditch. The cage has been soaked in the water for I don't know how long, and the rust is unrecognizable.

There was something in the cage, about the size of a basketball, and when I looked at it, I couldn't tell what it was. After carefully observing it for a long time, I shook the cage again, and let this thing roll in the cage, and the angle changed, and I finally recognized that this was a head, a metal cast head.

The cage has no lock, and there is a metal hook that hooks the cage door. The hook was completely rusted, and I smashed it with a crowbar for a long time before I broke the hook open. Open the cage door and take out the round head inside, a metal object the size of a basketball is sinking to death, and you can't hold it, so you can only put the rope a little longer, so that the cage is completely on the ground, and pull out the contents of it.

It was a metal head, but it wasn't rusty. I slowly circled around the metal head, and as I followed, I noticed that the metal head seemed to be missing an ear.

I used a crowbar to scratch the gap, which had been soaked in water for so long that it was no longer obvious, but the metal head was missing an ear.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I turned my head to look at the half of the dog next to me. I couldn't tell what the two pieces of metal on the dog's neck were, but now, I think these two bronze pieces seem to be the missing ears on this head.

A bronze ear, split into two pieces, hangs from the neck of a half-cut dog. I tried to put these two pieces of bronze together, and then compared them with the other ear, and I can say that I am 90% sure that these two bronze pieces are a complete ear.
