Chapter 126: The Pool

Of course, judging from its irregular outline, I estimate that the terrain in the depths of this pool of water is also irregular, and if I want to fish for corpses for a while, I must dive down, and I must first find out what is going on under this pool as much as possible.

However, I also thought about this situation in advance, so I always carried a piece of raw meat, which I packed in as vacuum as possible, so it is only slightly tasty now, and it has not spoiled yet.

I tied the hemp rope at one end, and after two laps of it, I felt that it was almost over, and then I threw it into the pool like fishing. This has two uses, one is to test the temperature of the water, and if the raw meat is still raw when it is recovered, it means that there is no problem.

Just because there is no problem on the surface of the pond does not mean that it is safe, and it is likely that there is a crater in the ground, not to mention the large one, even a fist-sized crater with three or four is enough for me to drink a pot.

Because the depth of this pool of water is too deep, the temperature may not be conveyed to the surface, but it is expected that Li Youlan's body may be in the deepest part of the pool, so I think it is better to be cautious.

Another function is to see if there are monsters in this pool of water that can "devour" raw meat. It's like fishing, but the bait is raw meat that only predators like to eat. If there's only bones left when I pull it up, then I'll have to think of something else.

At the very least, I'll either get the monster out of the pool first, or I'll have to find a way to kill it first, or I'll be going to become its ration if the corpse doesn't come up.

But my luck seems to be good, I little by little put the hemp rope in my hand into the water, the sense of weight has always existed, but after all, it is a deep water area, to a certain extent, because of the buoyancy, this feeling is not obvious.

I didn't know if the raw meat had touched the ground, but I just poked the rope in my hand as much as I could, and after all the hemp rope that was close to 20 meters was put in, I waited for 20 minutes, and then pulled the hemp rope up little by little.

As the raw meat surfaced again, I noticed that there had been some changes on it - the raw meat was still raw, and the temperature seemed to be fine, but the water quality seemed to be quite problematic. On the surface of the raw meat I put in the water, it was rotten and soft, yellow and smelly.

"This is ...... sulfuric acid"

I knew something was wrong when I saw the surface of the raw meat, so I took out a part of the branch and smelled it, and the stinging taste in my nose instantly hit me, and I couldn't help frowning, and the tip of the branch that stuck to the rotten flesh also showed some signs of melting as time passed.

Needless to say, the corrosive ability of sulfuric acid is self-explanatory, but the key is to see its concentration, if concentrated sulfuric acid is splashed on the person's body, the finger is stained with a little bit, and it is not cleaned in time, and the tip of the finger will be found to be corroded by the day on another day.

I guess the sulphuric acid was deposited deep in the pool, probably on the deepest rocks, or something else. But the alarm bells have sounded, and the depths of the pool are not as peaceful as I thought.

I put on my goggles, looked around the pool, and when I found nothing unusual, I tied the hemp rope around my waist, grabbed the hook and tools, and prepared to go into the water to find the body.

Of course, with the lung capacity of the average person, diving into the water at a depth of more than 10 meters to find someone is almost a dream, and even professional divers may not be able to do it. I had already swallowed the "water boosting pill", which is a drug that can temporarily keep people in the water for a long time.

This drug should be used, the advantage is that it takes effect in time, and swallows and uses, and the disadvantage is that it will cause a lot of inaction to the body later, but now I can't take care of it so much, I took the good things, touched the water, and felt that it was almost the same, and then dived down.

The moment I plunged into the water, my vision began to become hazy, and the place where I came into view was a turquoise, which was estimated to have been formed for a long time, surrounded by layers of uneven stone walls, and the stone walls were covered with slippery and greasy moss.

I continued to swim slowly, searching as I went, and as expected, the terrain in the pool was deep and uneven. The surface of the water is completely different from the inside, when viewed from the surface, it is a small pool of water, but the inside is wide and terrifying.

The surrounding area was full of vast waters and craggy sea rocks, and the water was not clean, so the vision was very hazy, and the visibility was only about two or three meters, and I felt like I was moving in a thick fog rather than in the water.

I dived cautiously, if it weren't for the gossip compass on my body pointing in the direction, I don't think I would have been able to find Li Youlan's body in this kind of place at all. Now I'm swimming in a wide expanse of water, and there's nothing to see.

Thankfully, so far I haven't found any creatures, and there are naturally small fish and shrimp, but the main thing is that I am afraid of water monsters, and once I encounter water monsters, I have almost no power to fight back in the water.

The glossy surface on the gossip compass was still pointing towards the bottom of the pool, and I suddenly felt a little headache, and my nerves were also a little tense. I looked down, and there was no bottom of the pool below, forming a small, pitch-black hole-like space.

I felt that the bottom of this pool of water was like a black hole after a long time, like an eye from the abyss, staring at me hollowly, my heart was beginning to accelerate slowly, obviously I had swallowed the water pill, but there was still a feeling of suffocation.

I don't have a phobia of the deep sea, but I don't think there are many people who can remain calm in the face of this situation - the thought of having to go into the black hole and explore the corpses in the darkness makes me feel so nervous that my stomach starts to cramp.

While stepping on the water to keep my body balanced, I silently looked up and found that the light on the surface of the water had blurred a lot. I feel like I've dived deep enough, and it's close to seven or eight meters.

If I wanted to enter the black hole deep in the pool, I would need to dive at least another ten meters, which means that I would have to dive twenty meters vertically to find the body.

My eardrums are already faintly swollen and painful at the moment, and although I have earplugs, the earplugs cannot prevent the pressure of water pressure on the human body. I don't usually have the habit of diving often, and the water pressure at a depth of seven or eight meters has made me a little uncomfortable.

After struggling for a moment, my mind flashed the figure of Lang Jin, as well as the figure of Dajiang, the village chief, and those unconscious children. Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided to fight - damn, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and Lao Tzu will be released today.

Taking a deep breath, I turned around, my head facing the black hole, my legs kicked hard, and my arms grabbed the water and dived vertically down. As the depth of the dive deepened, the oppression I felt became more and more obvious, and my movements became unfree.

However, my efforts were not in vain, and when I was so nervous that I felt like I was about to vomit, I successfully reached the entrance of the black hole, and at this time it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and this darkness that I couldn't see my fingers almost broke down.

I took out the flashlight from my waist in a panic, and then illuminated the inside of the black hole, and after seeing the scene inside, I exhaled with relief, and my emotions gradually settled down.

I thought that the depth of this black hole would be bottomless, but when I used a flashlight to shine it, I found that the depth was only about three meters. I looked around here and saw why it was so dark.

It turned out to be a small hole, and the shape of the inside of the pool was uneven, and I don't know if it was caused by corrosion, and a small cave was formed in the depths. The entrance to this cave goes into the black hole.

Due to the depth of the location and the poor water quality, the light could not reach the cave smoothly, so it was pitch black. And when I put my mind at ease and swam a little bit towards the cave around me, I suddenly saw something and couldn't help but be stunned.

At first, I thought I was mistaken, but when I put the flashlight on it again, I couldn't help but gasp, and I couldn't help but bite the back socket.

It's a corpse, it's the corpse of a woman. Her body has completely decomposed, but her facial features can still see the general outline, the dark hair is still there, because the body has been in the pool for a long time, the skin is sickly white, and the body is also edematous.

Needless to say, this is naturally Li Youlan's corpse. It's just that there is a big opening in her abdominal cavity, as if her abdominal cavity was dissected artificially before she died, and there is nothing inside, all the organs have disappeared, and only the vertebrae can be seen standing there alone.

However, dead and decomposing corpses should normally come to the surface, after all, the mass of the human body itself is smaller than the density of water. So I suspected at first that Li Youlan might have been tied to a stone and sunk, but I found that I was wrong.

Behind Li Youlan, there is a huge hexagonal roulette wheel, this roulette wheel is wooden, vertically embedded in the earth, and on the roulette wheel, Li Youlan's body is embedded in itโ€”her limbs, head, neck, waist, thighs, countless places, are nailed with awls that emit cold light.

The awl is very sharp, made of stainless steel, and I know this awl, the name of which is "Devil's Head Awl", which is a magic weapon used by the lich of the frontier. The Ghost Head Cone is a very vicious magic weapon, and its function is not only that it can make people unable to live after death.

If a person dies while they are nailed to their body, their soul will be channeled into a place called the Nether Snow Plain after death. This is the domain of the underworld.

In the underworld, in order to punish the souls of those who have committed serious crimes, there is a huge abyss, and its name is Endless Hell. We often say that if we don't do good deeds while we are alive, and if we don't accumulate more yin virtue for ourselves, we will fall into the eighteen layers of hell โ€“ and the eighteen layers of hell are also endless hells.

The Hells contained in the Endless Hell are almost infinite, and the Nether Snow Principle is one of them. A soul, no matter what it did in its lifetime, whether it wants to go to hell or not, must go through the judgment of the underworld, and the decision can only be made by the king of Hades himself.

However, the Ghost Head Cone will directly skip this process and directly forcibly introduce the soul nailed to the Netherworld Snow Field. It is a blizzard that blows all year round and is enough to freeze people into ice sculptures in an instant.
