Squatting on the rocks by the waterhole, I looked out with some curiosity at the green, somewhat unusual water. The shore I was on was full of pebbles, large and small, with very different colors along the tide line. On the opposite side was a small cliff that was not high, but it had been eroded and sunken into it close to the water. The stone here is not limestone that is easily soluble in water, and it takes a lot of time to create such a landform!

Erguotou leaned next to me and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

I pointed to the cliff that had been corroded like an eaves, "Look at that place, I didn't expect such a small waterhole to wash the stones like this!" ”

Erguotou looked at it and said: "That place is not washed by the current, it is said that there used to be a kind of golden-toothed dragon fish growing in this pool, full of sharp blades, fierce and abnormal. And this fish eats a kind of rock spirit in the rocks of this place, and it has been gnawing this cliff like this for many years. ”

I was shocked to hear this, such a strange thing as a fish eating stones and gnawing a mountain cliff like this is really unheard of, but why has I never seen such a strange story on the Internet?

Erguotou looked at me and said: "If you don't believe it, you can't help it, this kind of fish has long been left because the rock spirits in the mountains have been exhausted!" ”

"Where?"

"Who knows, maybe it ran from under the pool!"

"Is there a passage under this pool?"

"Of course there is, otherwise where would all this water go?" Erguotou pointed to the stream that poured into the pool, and sure enough, the water hill did not look very big, and it was indeed a lot when you got closer, and this small waterhole was clear at a glance, and there was no exit.

"You're looking at the tide line around you, how can such a small puddle be swallowed like this, there must be another mystery underground!"

At this time, Wang Shanqi also came over to join in the fun, "I have also heard of the kind of fish you said, it seems that because you need a lot of iron elements, you will use a hard skull to smash the stone to find the pyrite inside, because the pyrite crystals have some ornamental value, and they were also used as a gemstone in ancient times, so the ancients thought that they were eating rock spirits." ”

"What is a rock spirit?" I used to think it was a generic term with no specific correspondence, but when he said that, it seemed like there really was such a thing.

"Rock spirits are gems! Crystal, jade, and so on are called rock spirits. ”

I suddenly felt bored, and it was very interesting that the scientist was suddenly bored as soon as he explained, "The ancients were really able to make it up, make it so mysterious, and also have a golden tooth arowana!" ”

"This is inevitable, because it is rare for fish to eat stones, because they have eaten pyrite for many years, the teeth of these fish are turned yellow by sulfur, and this fish is very fierce, it can be regarded as the king of fish, they can't explain it, they naturally think that this fish is extraordinary, so they gave it such a name." Wang Shanqi once again spoiled the scenery.

Erguotou smiled: "Fortunately, this thing is extinct now, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go into the water!" ”

I was taken aback, "Swimming over?" ”

"No!" Erguotou waved his hand, "Let's dive!" ”

"Dive down? The entrance is below? ”

"Yes, but it's not very deep, that's three or four meters!" Erguotou took out a bunch of small gas cylinders and diving masks from a large backpack, "I'll go down to explore the way first, and then you guys will go down." ”

I watched him take off his clothes, revealing the one-piece swimsuit he had already put on, and jumped in as he moved. Xiao Kan didn't know what to do over there, but when he heard the sound of water, he ran over and said with a little regret: "Why did you jump?" ”

I almost laughed out loud and teased her: "If you jump, you will jump, and it will be painful to live." ”

Xiao Kan glared at me, "Don't make trouble, what's going on?" ”

I told her like this again, Xiao Kan is a good swimmer, I guess I haven't been in the water for a long time, I was a little eager to try, I took a swimsuit from the backpack, and dragged me to the bushes to change clothes.

Actually, I originally wanted Wang Shanqi to wait outside with her for us to come back, after all, this trip is not to go in to play, and it is difficult to predict any dangers. But now it seems that this is not a deserted place, and those soldiers stationed in the area and the Taoist priests on the mountain may bring danger to her. That way, it's safer for her to stay with me.

After more than 20 minutes, the head of the second pot was exposed to the water, and he swam towards us with his head shaken, and as soon as he got ashore, he was busy taking a sip of the wine jug from his bag. I asked him, "Did you find it?" ”

He gasped for breath and replied after a while: "Found it, it's deeper than I thought, but it should be fine to hold your breath and dive in." ”

"What about after you go in? Did you go in and see it? ”

"Look, you can float up two or three meters in, I calculated that it takes less than a minute from diving to coming out of the water, and the air inside can breathe." Erguotou took a deep breath, "Let's start preparing, it's going to be dangerous outside when it's dark!" ”

Gege and Wang Shanqi were even more anxious than him, and they were already ready, that is, Xiaohua and I were not ready to go into the water. I threw Xiaohua a swimsuit, "How are you doing?" ”

"No problem!" Xiaohua muttered and began to change her clothes.

All the clothes were packed into waterproof bags, tethered to the gear, hung with stone weights, and we led the ropes into the water one by one.

The water is cool and clear, but it is too deep to see, and in the deep green depths, there seems to be an eternal eye watching our actions.

The entrance was soon found, a few mutilated carvings of humanoid beasts guarding a dark cavern, and the people in front of them turned on the lights, illuminating the heavy rocks above us and the stairs ahead.

The surrounding stone walls are carved with intricate patterns, the style is strange and inexplicable in the light and shadow, and the steps are a little strange, it feels very much like the stone road in the park, one step is too girly, one step is two.

I had been worried about what danger would be in the water, but fortunately, as Erguotou said, I started to float immediately after a few meters of walking, and I turned around with a flashlight, and the steps were long and could not see the end, and plunged into the deep water. Could it be that this staircase is for things underwater? I thought about it casually and felt a chill behind me, only to realize that after just staying for a while, they were all out of the water in front of me, leaving me alone in the water.

Just as I was trying to catch up with them as soon as possible, I suddenly felt a strong force hit my side, and the stirred water actually hit my waist for a while.

What happened, I tried to dodge sideways, and there was nothing in the flashlight's shaking pillar of light!

Just when I was still looking around, another stream of water hit me, and I was caught off guard, and I was suddenly knocked and rolled in the water, and there was a sharp pain in my ribs, and blood immediately flowed out!

I still didn't find any traces, but I knew in my heart that it must be the kind of golden-toothed dragon fish that is said to be extinct, and it is pointless to resist and search at this time, and the best way is to rush to the surface as soon as possible. I cursed in my heart that this stone-eating fish should be extinct, and I swam towards the surface of the water, but at this moment I was horrified to find that the strange carvings around me suddenly moved!
