Chapter 373: Diving Underwater

The strange "da, da" sound still echoed behind me, and I turned to look back, staring at the meat fillet that slapped against the wall.

I feel as if it's conscious.

At that moment, there was a sharp hum in the darkness, and the sound was extremely sharp, but it was intriguing, and it ran down my eardrums little by little, and frantically tickled at my nerves.

I've already pressed my mind into the altar, and although this kind of teasing can't have any effect on my mind, it's still uncomfortable.

I pressed a second path of telekinesis into the platform, completely shielding out the effects of the humming, and then pressed my steps into the deeper darkness.

The darkness was not as deep as I had imagined, and after about half a minute, I found the mouth of the well, which was located in the deepest part of the tunnel.

This well is completely different from the raw wells I have seen before, the reefs built on the edge of the hole are all hard, and they are broken with the palm of your hand, and the touch is no different from ordinary reefs.

When you press your body against the wellhead and look down, you can see that the well water is three or four meters deep.

Like the previous well, the well water here also glows with a faint green glow, I used the ordinary water next to the well to pull up a small half bucket of water, but found that the water in the bucket does not glow, they are no different from normal spring water, clear and transparent, without the slightest evil spirit.

I suspect that since the water itself does not emit light, there is a dark green light source hidden in the water.

It just so happened that when I was fetching water, some tentacles and seaweed-like things were salvaged, so I grabbed some from the bucket and took a closer look.

The "meat" in the mouths of the drunkards is some octopus tentacles about ten centimeters thick, and the appearance of these things is indeed similar to the tentacles cut from the octopus, but they seem to have absolutely independent lives, and the tentacles I hold in my hands at this time are still wriggling, like a living bean worm.

I pulled a knife out of my backpack and tried to scratch it at the tentacles, which felt pain and writhed wildly.

When it writhed, mucus like glue was secreted from the suckers all over its body, and I felt sick and threw it away.

The seaweed in the mouths of the citizens is something that looks like kelp, but it is much thinner and softer than kelp, and the touch is a bit like spicy strips with the fat removed.

It is neither poisonous nor evil, and at the same time it is incapable of animal activity.

Looking at the meat on the ground and the sea vegetables in the bucket, I couldn't help but mutter, how did these two things come from? What the hell are they?

There is only one way to understand these problems, and that is to go to the bottom of the well.

At first, I was a little hesitant, after all, no one can say what is under the water, what if I go down and can't get out, I am a human, not a fish, and I will suffocate if I don't breathe for a long time.

After a short period of inner struggle, I decided to go in and have a look.

This kind of behavior is indeed quite risky, but people still have to take several risks in their lives.

I put my backpack on the side of the well, stuffed all the water-resistant magic weapons and talismans into my backpack, and then quickly took off my shoes and jacket and plunged into the well.

The width of this well is about one meter, and when you go down the wall of the well, there will be a particularly depressing feeling, the wellhead is like a big mouth of blood, and I don't know when it will suddenly close and crush you into a blood cake.

Fortunately, the walls of the well are quite rough, and although it is slippery, there are still plenty of potholes to draw on, so that I don't have to worry about getting stuck when I come out.

When I reached the bottom of the well, I took a big breath, and then held the meridians with my mental power, and then put away my fleshy feet and let my body naturally paddle into the water.

I didn't expect the well water to be so cold, the temperature, is about to catch up with the ice ballast lake in the old forest in the northeast, as soon as I enter the water, the cold instantly made my pores shrink, and several big tendons on my body are almost cramping.

Thanks to the fact that I had already injected mental power into the meridians, at this time, when I saw that the situation was not good, I quickly used my mental power to activate my muscles and bones, so that I could press back the urge to cramp.

In the process of falling into the water, I unexpectedly found that those tentacles were carrying a body temperature of about 40 degrees, and immediately reached out and grabbed one of them, stuffed them in my arms to warm myself.

After dropping three or four meters, I left the shaft and entered an extremely open underground water basin.

Directly below me, more than ten meters away, was a huge crust of rock, the size of which I could not estimate, for when I looked beyond the luminous light, I could only see a large expanse of darkness soaked in the water.

The darkness there was like the thick ink spewed out by an octopus, so black that it made people's hearts chill.

The source of the ghostly light was a crack in the rock shell, which was estimated to be seven or eight meters wide and at least fifty meters long, and the green light shone out of the crack, illuminating the stone wall in the crack and the icy water that surrounded me.

Fighting the stiffness of my limbs from the cold, I turned around and swam towards the crack beneath me.

The luminous body in the crack has a temperature, and as it goes deeper, the temperature in the water gradually rises, and there are intermittent wisps of bubbles emerging from the cracks, and those bubbles should contain high oxygen, and I can clearly feel that the closer I get to the crack, the slower the oxygen consumption in my body becomes.

It's normal to feel subtle changes in ourselves because of years of practice, but at the moment, I feel as if my perception has been slightly distorted, and normally, even as a practitioner like us, we can't feel the temperature difference of a few tenths of a degree, just like it's hard for us to see the difference between zero degrees Celsius and minus five degrees Celsius, but now, my ability to perceive temperature is becoming more and more acute.

The temperature difference of the water body is inherently gradual, and the temperature difference in a short distance is very small, and if you do not move long enough distance, it is said that you will not be able to detect the temperature change, and when you notice that the water temperature is warming, in fact, the temperature around you has already changed dramatically.

But as I kept diving, I could feel a clear change in temperature for almost every ten centimeters I moved.

I knew there was something wrong, but I couldn't figure out where the root of the problem was.

Just as I was about to dig into the crack, a flash of black floated in front of my eyes.

My first instinct was to quickly stabilize my body in the water and concentrate on the power of my hand before quickly remembering what had just flashed in front of my eyes.

Soon, I realized that it was like a strand of hair floating in the water.
