Chapter 170: The Shaft

Zhao Ruozhi stood on the shore and shouted, "How is it, Lao Sha?"

Sha Dutian, who was almost in the center of the lake, responded, "There's something down there, I'll take a look at it again."

The sand in the lake is like a fish out of the water, and it disappears again in the blink of an eye.

After enough preparation, Sha Dutian swam very deep this time, and he swam to the side of the round thing, which was 10 meters deep from the water.

The radius of the circle was four or five meters long, and the middle was hollow, like a passage, and I don't know where it leads.

Sha Dutian suddenly felt a stream of water, it was a huge suction, and that suction force made him move towards the center of the circle, and he clasped the edge of the round object with his hand, trying his best not to keep his body from drifting towards the center of the circle.

Just kidding, that round thing is straight down, if this is sucked in, it will be over, not to mention how long Sha Dutian can hold his breath, the depth inside is also a terrible thing, if it is particularly deep, he will be crushed to death by the force of water pressure if he doesn't suffocate first.

However, Sha Dutian's hand left the circular edge little by little, the suction force was not trivial, Sha Dutian was not afraid of danger, he grabbed the rope, and tried to climb towards the water little by little, but he would take a step backwards with every step he climbed.

Zhao Ruozhi obviously felt the pull of the rope on the shore, he clenched the rope in his hand, the pull of the rope made him feel very difficult, he was like a tug-of-war, his heels were on the ground, but the ground was full of sand, and it didn't play much friction at all.

Ge Yiyan and Lu Shuiyi found out about the situation for the first time, and they also joined in, and the three of them pulled the rope hard, but the other end of the rope seemed to have a whale, no matter how the three of them pulled the rope, the rope was indifferent, but there were signs of pulling back.

Zhao Ruozhi barely squeezed out a few words in his mouth: "Lao Sha, what the hell are you doing, if you don't come out, I won't be able to hold on." At this time, he was already blushing and his neck was thick, and he had reached the end of the crossbow.

While Zhao Ruozhi couldn't hold on, Sha Dutian was also uncomfortable, and the pulling force on both sides seemed to be about to tear him apart, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Sha Dutian's mouth kept spitting bubbles, he also reached the end of the strong crossbow, and at the same time as he was about to be suffocated, there were two huge pulling forces tearing him, he thought of a kind of punishment in ancient times, that is, the five horses were divided, he was bitter in his heart, he didn't expect that he would die from such a punishment.

How deep the lake is, no one knows, is there a monster in the lake? Sha Dutian only felt uncomfortable, he even forgot the cold of the lake, he wanted to take a big gulp of air.

Galloping on the grassland, chasing butterflies, looking at beautiful women, everything is so nostalgic, Sha Dutian deeply realized for the first time that freedom is so comfortable, and breathing is such a luxury thing.

The suction force was like a demon, it suddenly increased its mana, and Sha Dutian was hurt by the rope on his waist, and he tried to untie the rope in order to get free.

The rope is a dead knot, when Shadutian came up, Zhao Ruozhi was afraid that something would happen to him, so he tied a dead knot, he scolded Zhao Ruozhi thousands of times in his heart, he held back his breath, but the suffocation made him tremble.

"Why don't you take a sip?" Sha Dutian thought like this, he drank a few sips of water in a row, he was going to take a sip, but who knew that he opened his mouth, he couldn't control it, and the cooing didn't stop.

"Damn, it's over, I didn't expect my Lao Sha I to be famous, and he drowned, it seems that the older generation is really good, those who drowned are all swimmers." Sha Dutian thought wildly. He was so unwilling that he still hadn't figured out where the suction was coming from.

Sha Dutian choked a lot of water in his nose, and even choked on the lake water in his throat, and he wanted to cough loudly, but he closed his mouth in time and covered his neck with his hands, all kinds of uncomfortable.

Just when Zhao Ruozhi was about to give up, his hands were wiped with rope blood, and suddenly, the suction force was gone, and Sha Dutian was quickly pulled out by Zhao Ruozhi and them in a daze.

Zhao Ruozhi fell to the ground first, he didn't dare to stop, quickly stood up, and quickly collected the rope.

Sha Dutian was like a big fish that had been caught, breaking through the water, and then after he slid on the water for a long distance, he was finally caught by Zhao Ruozhi and dragged ashore.

The moment the huge suction force disappeared, Sha Dutian saw an opportunity, but he had lost his strength and could not go upstream at all.

Fortunately, Zhao Ruozhi pulled him out in time, and if it was a little later, Sha Dutian would be finished.

In the moment of losing consciousness, Sha Dutian inhaled fresh air, and the few minutes at the bottom of the lake seemed to have survived hundreds of years, he gulped in the air, kept coughing, and kept spitting out the lake water in his mouth, but his expression had a hint of luck.

Finally seeing an acquaintance, Sha Dutian lay on the shore, looking at the blue sky with an unusual, and didn't say a word.

Zhao Ruozhi shouted: "Lao Sha, are you okay?" What happened? ”

Sha Dutian looked at Zhao Ruozhi quietly, and then said, "Retarded, hello, I finally saw you again."

Zhao Ruozhi looked confused, he touched Sha Dutian's forehead, it was normal, he said, "This guy shouldn't be stupid, right?"

Sha Dutian finally relieved, and he said: "You are stupid, fucking retarded, it's all a good thing you did, tie me a dead knot." He was very grateful to Zhao Ruozhi for helping him with a dead knot, otherwise, when he lost his mind, he would definitely be sucked away by that undercurrent.

The next moment, Sha Dutian saw the blood stains on Zhao Ruozhi's hands, and he was immediately ashamed, he understood that Zhao Ruozhi must be desperately pulling the rope to save himself.

Zhao Ruozhi laughed and said, "I'm not stupid, tell me what happened?" He was curious about what was at the bottom of the lake, and it was so powerful.

Lu Shuiyi and Ge Yiyan were also by his side, and Sha Dutian said proudly: "There is a deep well below, the caliber is very large, and when I was about to find out, an undercurrent suddenly burst out, trying to suck me in, fortunately, my old sand has strong endurance." As soon as he saw Lu Shui's eyes, he immediately changed his words and said, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen me."

"A well? How can there be a well at the bottom of the lake? Zhao Ruozhi asked.

Sha Dutian spread his hands and said: "How do I know, you ask me, who am I going to ask, don't be angry with my old sha, this time it must have broken the record, but it is so uncomfortable underwater, I won't go down anymore."

Ge Diyan said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the shaft leads to another place, as long as the mechanism is opened, the lake water will flow down the shaft to there?"

Zhao Ruozhi nodded and said, "It's very reasonable, maybe it's really as you said, but the question is how do we go down?" I knew I was coming with an oxygen cylinder. ”

Lu Shui looked at the waterhole in the distance, she always felt that something was watching here, and touched Jinyang and Lu Shuqing and quickly shrank their heads, but it was too late.

Lu Shuiyi was a little surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Jin Yang and Lu Shuqing would follow, she didn't know Lu Shuqing's details, but she was definitely not a good person, the strange thing was that she didn't debunk their whereabouts, and listened to Zhao Ruozhi their discussion casually.

Ge Diyan blamed herself: "Before I came, I planned to bring scuba tools, but I didn't expect to really need them."

When Sha Dutian heard this, he said unhappily: "Where is the scuba tree?" You said it earlier, my old sand almost died. ”

Ge Diyan apologized: "I'm really sorry, I forgot to bring it."

Sha Dutian looked at Sha Dutian incredulously, he felt very unbelievable that such a mature and atmospheric woman would do something wrong.

Zhao Ruozhi said: "Lao Sha, is the flow of water quiet?" Sha Dutian told them that there was a current under the water, and he guessed that the current might have flowed from another place.

Sha Dutian said: "Judging from the sound, it is not very big, and I don't feel very turbulent fluctuations."

Zhao Ruozhi nodded and thought: "That's it, I guess there are two possibilities, one is that there is water from an underground dark river constantly flowing into this lake, but if there is really water from an underground dark river constantly injected, in the case of the whirlpool not being opened, the lake level should be raised, judging from the current situation, this is not true."

Lu Shuiyi asked, "What if the water is poured out at the same time?"

Zhao Ruozhi said: "I can't rule out such a possibility, but there is another possibility, that is, the sound of water is emitted by another environment, so it doesn't sound very loud."

Ge Diyan heard something, and she asked, "You mean that the sound came from inside the shaft?" She was a little surprised, but it was probably so.

Zhao Ruozhi nodded and said: "I guess it's like this, if you think about the words on the map, if you turn Xuanqing, you will see the sky, it is likely that we will go down with the whirlpool, and then we will reach the so-called re-seeing the day."

It's not that Ge Yiyan didn't think about this, it is difficult to enter with the whirlpool, first of all, the strength of the whirlpool, looking at the momentum of the whirlpool, it is enough to tear a person; The second is the shaft, how deep is it, if the shaft is not very flat, but there are many rocks, then it will be a disaster.

Ge Yiyan said: "I will go down this time, after all, I brought you here." She is also very uncertain in her heart, she has already arrived here, and she can only move forward.

Lu Shuiyi didn't express any opinions, and she didn't look at Lu Shuqing anymore.

Touching Jinyang whispered: "Brother, it seems that the mystery is in that big whirlpool, according to my inference, it is likely that you have to jump into that whirlpool to find the black box."

Lu Shuqing was a little puzzled, after living for so long, he had never heard of anyone daring to jump into the whirlpool, he said, "Let's see."

Zhao Ruozhi said: "This is too risky, I think we should go back and bring scuba, it is more secure."

Ge Yanyan's face changed slightly: "I can't go back, there is not much time left, the mysterious continent is about to open, if we don't collect all the black boxes, even if we return to the mysterious continent, it will be useless, that's all."

After finishing speaking, Ge Yiyan turned around and walked to the cave where Kuroba Shin was resting, and it seemed that she was going to open the mechanism that controlled the whirlpool.
