Chapter 364: Hot Spring Waterways
Lao Huang was deflated, rolled his eyes, took off his clothes by himself, found a hot spring with the right water temperature and sat in, and Brother Shen did not stop it, which means that they are not dangerous.
"Come on, Daze, this place is really good." Lao Huang pillowed his arms behind his head and looked happy.
"Forget it." I'm really not in the mood, and Lao Huang didn't force it.
There was still half of the venison left, and I gnawed half of it dryly, and I had no appetite, and Nineteen frequently turned his head to look at me, as if he wanted to say something.
I suddenly felt that I had a lot of secrets, and although they were all about them, they were buried deep in my heart, and at least they could hardly guess my mind now.
Things that are not pursued are always thorns, and letting go at that time does not mean completely letting go, I am still as indecisive as ever, and I suddenly had the idea of being a staff member of the Mo family, so that I can be involved with them forever.
I thought about it, and my whole body trembled, what the hell was I thinking, I decided to give up, and this thought came to me again, no, absolutely not.
It's warm and humid, so I don't need a sleeping bag, so I pad it underneath me, and I should have been tired and didn't feel anything after running for a long time to avoid the geyser, maybe the smell of the hot springs also had the effect of dispelling fatigue.
The rocks on the ground were all warm, and after so many adventures, it was the first time I felt so comfortable to sleep in the open air, and I fell asleep quickly.
I had a lot of incoherent dreams in a daze, and when I woke up, I saw that the water around me was shrouded in mist, and in the dark night it was like a ghost land, the land was narrow, and everyone was huddled together, and it was extremely hot.
I was sweating profusely, and the dream that was still very clear just now was forgotten in an instant, I slept very deeply, I didn't even know when Lao Huang came up, everyone was asleep, and Brother Shen was no exception, they seemed to expect that there would be no danger here, and no one kept vigil.
I turned on the flashlight and cautiously walked along the edge of the hot spring to the one pointed out by Brother Shen, it was a very small hot spring, four or five square meters at most, the edge was not regular, but it was very deep, the flashlight stayed five or six meters away, and the darkness below was still endless.
How can there be such a cramped entrance to the imperial mausoleum, this is certainly not a real road, the water system here is extremely rich, it is not a good place to build a mausoleum, could it be a geological change, causing the imperial mausoleum to sink to the bottom?
If this is the case, it will be troublesome, and the extra-large oxygen cylinder we bring can last for a maximum of an hour and a half, and it is certainly not easy to find the key point to break the blood curse, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a race against time.
I turned the flashlight, and I could see that there were many large and small springs inside the hot spring, some gurgling and bubbling, some calm, I reached out and touched the water, it was very warm, about 40 degrees.
It is very similar to the volcanic landform in the impression, but it is not a volcanic stone, the flowing water smooths the edges and corners of the rock, but it is a bit of a cave, the rock looks jade, but it is not light to the touch.
I suddenly had the idea of jumping in to take a look, and I felt a kind of unexplained fear that this dark and bottomless hot spring, like a gateway to the underworld, had been seen for a long time, as if I was looking into the eyes of the devil, and it exuded a deadly attraction that lured me in.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that half of my body had been leaning towards the water, the tip of my nose was only a few centimeters above the water, and the dark hole was like a big mouth that wanted to swallow me.
"What are you going to do?" The cold voice sounded in my ears, it was Brother God.
My forehead was covered with sweat, my heart was pounding, and my brother's eyes reflected a strange light under the light of the flashlight, like the eyes of a cat, and he picked up the flashlight that fell to the ground, and the light in his eyes disappeared.
He didn't ask, I was so enveloped by fear that I couldn't say anything, so I hurriedly ran back from his side, got into my sleeping bag, and turned my head slightly to see him shining his flashlight at the mouth of the hot spring, and watched for a while before returning.
His footsteps were loud in the silence of the night, and he walked up to me and whispered, "What do you see?" ”
"No, nothing." There was panic in my voice, and I didn't dare to look up at him, so I curled up and buried my face down.
He didn't ask again, he didn't sleep again, but sat next to me against the mountain rock, the fear in my heart gradually disappeared, and I felt strange when I recalled what had just happened, I obviously didn't see anything, why did I feel so scared, as if I was about to lose something very important.
You know, I'm not even afraid of death now, just like I fell into an evil spirit, and now that I think about it, I don't know what I'm afraid of, even if I have to lose everything I have now, I don't have that sense of fear.
I couldn't fall asleep again, the sky was almost bright, I covered my sweat, because Brother Shen was beside me, I didn't dare to move, the sky was getting brighter, Brother God began to light a fire to get water, my tense body finally relaxed, I got out of the sleeping bag only to feel cold all over my body, only to find that my clothes had already been soaked with sweat.
Brother Shen was still busy with his own business, so I hesitated for a moment, but I took off my clothes and found a hot spring with a lower temperature to wipe my body.
Lao Huang and they all woke up, Ah Chuan smiled meaningfully at me as soon as he woke up, the Mo family never fell asleep when they were on a mission, and they probably knew about my strange behavior last night, but no one came to ask, and they still looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Put everything here that can't touch the water."
Ah Chuan took out a bundle of plastic sealed bags from his backpack, opened them and scattered them all over the ground, I don't remember when he brought this thing with him, and now they are scrambling to stuff guns and ammunition into it.
We took out the heavy diving suit backpack, such a diving suit will never be sold on the market, it is too thick, even the head is completely wrapped, there is no detachable gap on the face, only a small opening and closing breathing hole, the oxygen cylinder is not the same as we have seen before, it is specially designed for the diving suit, and the pipe can be directly connected to the wetsuit.
Ah Chuan and Nineteen helped me and Lao Huang put it on, although there was fluff on the inner layer, it was very uncomfortable to put on, it was too heavy, as if it was isolated to two worlds, and the air that penetrated through the breathing hole also had a stuffy and occlusive feeling, which is probably the feeling of wearing a spacesuit.
One of us carried two large oxygen cylinders, and their use was the same as ordinary, Brother Shen never needed these equipment, and this time he was dressed neatly, and the next trip must not be simple.
"Hold your breath and save as much oxygen as possible." Brother Shen spoke.
Last night's panic struck me again, and I wanted to ask him how long he was going to swim, for this long, narrow passage was my nightmare, and every time I saw it, I remembered the despair in the waterways of the floating islands, the closest I had come to death.
It was a lot lighter without wetsuits in our backpacks, and we didn't have sleeping bags with us, so Nineteen and Eleven put all their sleeping bags away and hung them from a dead tree on the edge of the cliff, which looked rather funny.
Brother Shen took the lead in jumping into the hot spring, nineteen followed, Ah Chuan pushed me and Lao Huang, motioned for us to follow, I took a deep breath, closed the breathing hole, my heart jumped horizontally, I looked up and saw Lao Huang and Ah Chuan jumping down in turn, and the one behind the palace was eleven.
This order is to protect us, everyone goes down together, and the sense of fear is much less, the searchlight of Brother Shen below is still quite bright, we quickly sank five or six meters deep, but there are many fist-sized holes in the surrounding stone walls, my heart is tight, I quickly turn on the searchlight, the light goes deep in, and I can't see the edge.
The holes got bigger and bigger the holes got down, and we felt like we were in a honeycomb, and soon the holes were big enough for a human head, and I could feel a lot of invisible forces pushing my body around me, and these holes were springs, and the force was not small.
I was hit by the water in all directions, my body swayed, the force of the water was beyond my imagination, and the lights above my head were shaking, and it seemed that everyone was the same.
Brother Shen is still sinking, we have at least dived fifteen meters, I didn't expect it to be at the end, I really want to look down, but the bottom is getting narrower and narrower, and there is a wetsuit obstruction, I have to bend down sharply if I want to take a look, so I give up.
There were more and more holes around, different in size and much like the geyser I had encountered before, the largest enough for one person to pass through, and these huge dark passages gave me an invisible sense of oppression, as if a monster would jump out at any moment.
Fortunately, everyone was there, and this psychological oppression was much more uncomfortable than the physical one, and I glanced up at Lao Huang from time to time, he had not trained to dive, so I don't know if this depth can be tolerated.
The heavy wetsuit is still a little useful, the water pressure I feel now is obviously lighter than normal, and this waterway is not completely straight, the light below suddenly disappeared, Brother Shen seemed to get into where, the light dimmed instantly, and soon Nineteen also turned on the light, followed Brother Shen into a horizontal channel, I quickly sank, there are many waterways below that are enough for people to enter, and it is difficult to discern the direction, I really don't know how Brother Shen judged.
The passage was not at the end, it was still dark below, I saw the light in the horizontal channel, and quickly adjusted my body to get in, this channel was not narrow, but we were wearing wetsuits with oxygen tanks and backpacks, and one person was three people wide, so it was extremely crowded.
It's uncomfortable, dark, claustrophobia, and deep-water phobia all hit at the same time, although there are no aquatic plants and creatures, but there are holes all around, large and small, and you have to add a dense phobia.
This kind of environment is definitely the best place to drive people crazy, no one knows what is hidden in the dark holes, the impact of the water is stronger, fortunately, Nineteen is not swimming fast, and there are holes around him, so he can use the strength of his hands and feet to not get too tired.
Lao Huang followed behind, and he also turned on the searchlight, and no one could stand this kind of environment.
