55. Above and below the water
There is a faint layer of mist floating on the surface of the lake.
This means that there are one or more hot springs deep at the bottom of the lake.
Alice put her hand inside, and the lake was not very cold, about twenty degrees.
George, the robot dog, can't soak in water for a long time.
To find the treasure box, you must dive into the lake.
Alice wondered who would be better suited for the task.
She had a wound on her shoulder, scratched by a bear that the little mage had cast a spell on her last night.
Harrison......
The most suitable is Yezi, where is she hiding?
"George. What about the night? ”
The robot dog spun around a few times, indicating that it could not be found.
After killing the brown bear, Yoko disappeared.
George lost her taste.
Alice doesn't know how Yoko did it, however, she has to be extra careful before she finds her.
That female ninja of the Rainbow Country has a murderous aura in her eyes!
Ellie has no doubt that if the right opportunity arises, Yoko will kill both her and Harrison.
"Where's they, where are the people who stole the treasure box?"
George thought about the direction of the sun and shouted three times: "Wangwangwang." ”
To the south, the little mage named Wukong dropped the treasure box and went south.
Alice pondered, should she salvage the treasure box first or chase the little mage first?
Beneath the surface, at the bottom of the lake more than twenty meters from Alice.
Wukong clutched the iron rod inserted deep into the mud, held his breath, maintained a flow of air between his chest and abdomen, and slowly rotated.
This is the method of internal breathing taught to him by his senior brother Wuyu Grand Lama, and he can stay underwater for up to ten minutes. The senior brother is more powerful, and can dive underwater for twenty minutes.
When Master Kongxue was there, Wuyu didn't force him.
At that time, he could stay in the water for a maximum of five minutes.
Two months ago, the Archmage of Kongxue Honghua Nirvana, no time and no backer, was taken by the senior brother to the artificial lake in front of Tianlun Temple The frequency of exercises has increased significantly, the internal breathing method has been rapidly improved, and the diving time has also increased to the current ten minutes.
However, there is no space or fear of water. In the water, his tinnitus would worsen, and he would hear more strange noises, and most of the time it was a loud buzzing noise.
It's a bit weird today. In the buzzing sound, there are faint sounds of cats and dogs barking.
The black cat suddenly appeared, gesturing with its front paws: Give me a flower.
It's not in the water and seems to be a projection.
Wukong inserted the blue flower into his left ear, and the buzzing disappeared.
"Their robot dog is very powerful, and if you don't get rid of it, you won't be able to run far. In a moment, I lure the robot dog there, and you take the opportunity to put the bronze rosary on your wrist around the dog's neck. ”
After the black cat finished speaking, he pointed somewhere, and the foam disappeared.
Over there, on the south shore of the lake, the most dense aquatic weeds.
I didn't have time to pull out the iron rod and swim over slowly.
He saw a shadow, more than ten meters away, a girl in a black tights, with a bamboo pipe in her mouth, quietly lying at the bottom of the lake.
In her hand, she held a sharp katana.
The treasure box that had just been hidden, three meters in front of her.
Wukong felt that the other party didn't see him, paddled lightly, and walked around,
She wears a strange mask and resembles a bad guy.
Above the water, drones appear in the sky.
It circled the lake twice and hovered a hundred meters above the meadow.
"What did you find?" Harrison came to Alice's side.
Not far away, Louie, carrying a large bag, was wrestling with the swamp.
"That's it." Alice pointed to the cloth bag torn by the bear; "They, two more bears."
"Where's the treasure box?" Harrison poked the brown bear with his crosssword, making sure it was dead.
"There." Alice pointed to the lake; "They, they threw the treasure box in it, or hid it at the bottom of the lake."
"Night." Harrison looked around, but didn't see the female ninja with a nice figure.
"Probably hiding nearby." Alice takes off her coat and prepares to go into the water to salvage the treasure box; "Be careful, I'll go down and look for it."
"I don't need you to go." Harrison pointed to Louie, who was arriving: "I have a bad feeling, it seems to be a trap. Let him go. ”
"The treasure box has been opened, but the signal shows that the reliever is still there." Alice agrees with Harrison's suggestion; "Today is the fifth day, and if they hadn't used relievers, they would have died."
"They're still alive." Harrison shares the drone footage with Alice's vision.
A kilometer away, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old led a black horse.
She stopped on a small meadow, holding something in her hand, and kept throwing it on the ground, picking it up, and throwing it back onto the ground.
Every time she threw it, she looked this way.
Advancing the horizon, the little girl threw three copper coins around......
There was no little mage, and the black steed was gnawing grass on the side. Its left front leg was injured and was bandaged.
Alice thought for a moment, put on her coat, and sat quietly on the meadow.
She stroked George's furry dog head and whispered, "George, I've let you down." ”
From last night until now, she has not seen anyone who steals the treasure box, only that they have a dark horse.
Now that I see the little girl, she should wait, wait for the little mage.
He's over here, hiding somewhere nearby.
"Harry. Look around, the little mage is nearby. "Alice said;" And the night, I suspect, she is hiding in the water. ”
Harrison commanded the drone, cruising at a low altitude, taking the center of the lake as the origin, sweeping every inch of water and every bush within 100 meters into the database of the C horizon.
Alice used exclusive AI to compare and analyze the information collected by the drone, and soon had preliminary results:
The night is in the water, and the little mage is also in the water.
George the robot dog is playing with mud, and on the surface of the mud, a line of text is displayed: Kill them.
"Killed...... Little Mage? Alice sat up sharply.
"Wangwangwang......" George scrambled with words, jumped into her arms, and looked at the lake.
It seems to be afraid of this small lake.
The robot dog is a quasi-knight equipment with a built-in gene recognition program; It will show goodwill to the first Knight of Trials to smear its razor-sharp steel teeth with blood, acknowledging his or her dominance and obeying his or her commands.
The ruler is not the same as the master, and Alice's blood stained George's steel teeth red, but she can only communicate with it in words.
Through a period of intimacy, George's main program is integrated into the exclusive AI in her vision, so that she can learn to distinguish her body language and even establish some kind of tacit understanding.
The Task Dog also has a remote control system that has been set to a higher level of clearance to allow the base to assess the performance and completion of the Trial Knights.
In the event of an unforeseen situation, the base can dispatch a suitable rescue team in a timely manner.
George's performance should be that the base has found something and is warning her.
George, order her to kill the little mage and the little girl a kilometer away.
Louis finally made it to the meadow, tired as a dead dog.
He was carrying a large bag and carrying one. The last part of the road is full of mud, and every step is in danger of sinking into it.
"Harry, set up the tent first." Alice regained her composure and composure.
George. Saul has said that there is no time to mess with oneself, and that in an unfamiliar environment, it is necessary to establish a solid and safe base of operations.
Harrison unfastened Louie's backpack and pulled out the tent.
Louis struggled to get up to help, and Alice said, "Louie, you're tired, rest for ten minutes." “
"Thank you." Louis was about to shed tears of gratitude.
The tent was erected, and Alice connected the tent to the C horizon, and the area of the shelter (pseudo) was extended to thirty meters, covering the entire meadow. Her detection range has also doubled, barely reaching the middle of the lake.
"Found the treasure box." Alice shares the horizon with Harrison and Louie.
In the C vision, a flickering red dot appeared, which was the signal sent by the treasure box.
It's strange, why didn't you find it just now?
