Chapter 43: Underwater Iron Cage

Seeing that they were all in front of me, I immediately realized that it was not them who touched me, and the whole person couldn't help but shiver.

My first instinct was to reach out and touch it backwards, but before I could touch something, I took it back. The heart said, no, you can't touch it with your hands, no matter what it touches me, I can't blindly touch it with your hands.

After all, it was in the water, and the first thing that came to my mind was snakes, so I didn't dare to touch them. Usually I'm afraid of snakes, let alone in the water, it can be said that one thing descends one thing, the snake is my nemesis, I don't need to use tricks at all, as long as I see a snake, my legs are basically weak.

I thought to myself, this is in the water, I can't be weak, I have to stay away from this position first, in case there is a snake nest behind me, and I am still standing here, then I will only have to wait to be bitten.

Thinking about getting away from this position, I took a step forward in the water. Who would have thought that it would be okay for me not to move, but it would be even more troublesome to move. As I took a step forward, I felt something pull on my back foot, and then something pushed against my waist.

The two touches immediately threw me off balance and plunged me straight into the water.

The moment I fell into the water, I felt that the thing on my waist was not a snake, it was a hard thing, the snake was not so hard, it felt like someone was behind me and took a bone stick and stabbed me.

Fortunately, I am also a good swimmer, so I quickly danced my arms and legs to swim away. The thing that was holding one of my feet under the water was so strong that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't swim out. It was like a pair of pliers, holding one of my feet firmly.

As I swam as hard as I could, the old prostitute and Ma Daha stood across from each other and laughed, not realizing that I was in danger now, and thinking that I was not able to stand firm in the water.

"Help, help." I shouted as hard as I could, and I didn't care if I opened my mouth to get stinky water.

When the old prostitute heard me shouting for help, she immediately rushed over, grabbed my arm, lifted my head out of the water, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's something in the water that pulls me ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the old prostitute pulled me forward with all her might, trying to drag me over. He used a lot of strength, but instead of pulling me, he pulled me so hard that my arm hurt.

At this time, Ma Daha and Scar also came, and the old prostitute motioned for them to drag me, and then he threw off his backpack and dived into the water.

The old prostitute had just dived into the water for less than two seconds, and immediately floated up, covering her eyes with one hand, and her facial expression was extremely painful. He swirled twice in the water before he stopped, rubbed his eyes a few times, and saw that I was still fluttering here, and without even saying a word, he dived again.

After the old prostitute went into the water again for dozens of seconds, she moved a few times at the position of my feet, I don't know if she was fighting with the thing that dragged me, in short, after he moved a few times, I felt that my feet were loose, and the thing that was pulling me was loosened.

Feeling something loosen from my feet, I immediately took advantage of the strength of Mathahar and Scar's tugging on me, and swooped forward into the water, directly behind the two of them.

After I stood firmly, the old prostitute came out of the water, and he thought that I was standing in the position just now, and he didn't see me twice, so he asked, "Where is Xiao Qi?" Where have the people gone? ”

"Here." I answered, and then asked, "What's under the water?" ”

The old prostitute looked at me and shook her head, and replied, "I can't see clearly, but it's certainly not a moving thing, it should be some kind of iron tool." ”

As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that it was iron, the horror in my heart instantly receded, and I questioned, iron? You're not mistaken, right?

When the old prostitute heard my questioning, she motioned for me to go over and follow him to touch it again.

Don't look at me a little skeptical, but I still trust the old prostitute's feel, after all, I was born in a dry fight, and I can touch eight or nine without leaving ten with a touch of my fingers, so I immediately relaxed, walked over and followed the old prostitute down and touched it.

It's really iron, it's all thumb-thick iron bars, like an iron cage, right under our feet. However, this iron cage seems to be broken, I don't know if it was smashed when we fell, or if it was originally broken. Anyway, because it was broken, it was because it was broken, so an embroidered iron bar hooked my foot.

When I sneaked up with the old prostitute, I saw that one of the eyes he was holding was injured, his eyeballs were red, his eyelids were broken, and he was still bleeding out.

"Old prostitute, how did you get this?" I asked, pointing him in the eye.

"Oh my god, it's not because of you." After the old prostitute finished speaking, she motioned for me to hand it to him, and then took my hand, touched it in the water a few times, and touched an iron bar.

The bar was at waist level, and I immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that it was this iron bar that touched me, and it wasn't something that could move. The injury to the old prostitute's eye is estimated to be that he dived too fast and didn't see an iron bar standing diagonally in the water, so he hit it directly.

The old prostitute said that fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and when he sensed something, he immediately dodged sideways, or he would have been blinded. But it was the moment of hiding that the eyelid was scraped out by the iron bar.

I wanted to take out a waterproof band-aid and put it on the place where the old prostitute's eyelids were broken, but it was not easy to open the backpack in the water, after all, our backpacks are waterproof, and once opened, it is bound to be filled with water, so I can only let him press it with his hand to stop the bleeding.

The old prostitute pressed the wound on her eyelids and muttered to herself, "Damn, how can there be an iron cage under the water?" ”

Although I was also confused, I knew very well in my heart, what is the iron cage for? It's for stuff, and it's for moving things.

When I thought of something that could move, I was a little frightened, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose. After all, we are in the water, not on land, and once we really want something to move, we can't run if we want to, not to mention that there is not even an exit here.

"Old prostitute, we have to get out of here quickly, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." I said.

The old prostitute looked at me and didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was not good, and he seemed to have realized that it was not good.

I asked the old prostitute, could this be the ancient city below?

The old prostitute said that judging by the height of the fall, this should be the ancient city below, but he has never seen a stone house in the ancient city below, so he is not sure which direction this is, whether it is in the ancient city.

When I saw that the old prostitute couldn't say for sure, I asked them to try it with a crowbar to see if they could pick out the stones and see what was going on outside. The stones here are not large, about one meter in length and only 25 centimeters in width, so it is not difficult to pick out the stones.

Madahar and Scar quickly cut off a piece, but there were still layers of stone walls on the outside of the stone. After cutting off the two layers of stones, I saw that the outside was full of earth, and I didn't see the houses in the ancient city.

After looking at the situation outside the stone, Ma Daha said to me: "Seventh uncle, why don't we take some risks and climb up from the place where we fell, there is no way out here." ”

I glanced up at the top and felt that it was better not to take this risk until the last moment, if there was another collapse on the top, it would not be as simple as the ground falling, and the entire ancient city above would have to collapse downward, so I decided to find a way here, unless I really had no choice, I must not risk climbing up.

I thought about digging a hole in the soil outside the rock, but the old prostitute couldn't tell our specific location, and he didn't know which direction the ancient city below was.

If we can't find the right direction and blindly hit the thief hole, it will take time not to say, but also to spend the body. Moreover, the situation here is different from the situation when the old prostitute hit the thief cave, after all, when the old prostitute was playing the thief hole, she knew that she was in the ancient city, and no matter how far the cave was stolen, she could ensure that there was enough oxygen. And we don't even know where the nearest house is now, and once the hole is long, oxygen will be a big problem.

When I was thinking about how to judge the direction, the old prostitute kept standing at the stone that had been cut open, and stood for a while before saying, "There is a way, we can try it." ”

"What's the solution?" I asked.

"Release the water" The old prostitute raised her hand and pointed to the soil outside the stone, and then said: "The soil here is not firm, let's pick a few stones in the water and release the water here, maybe we can break out a channel in the soil outside." ”

I thought about it and felt that what the old prostitute said was a bit reliable, so I could give it a try. This is better than digging a thief hole by ourselves, at least it doesn't cost too much body, and the impact of the water is much faster than hitting a thief hole.

After deciding, the four of us turned into the water and cut the rocks close to the depth under our feet. It took a lot of effort to pick out the stones in the water, and it took more than ten minutes to pick off the two stones.

It was only a hole in two stones, but it was enough, and as the old prostitute had expected, the water began to flow into the soil outside.

Soon the water level began to drop, and in order not to be sucked away by the flowing current, the four of us stayed away from that opening, and always held hands, to prevent the sudden increase in the current.

After a while, the rate of the water level dropped significantly, as if the water had broken through the barrier, and a whirlpool formed at the mouth of the drain, and it was obvious that the water was flowing rapidly.

As the water level drops rapidly, we can see the situation more clearly.

Except for where we were, that is, where it collapsed, iron cages were exposed on the water in other places.

These iron cages look different in size, some are more than two meters wide, some are more than three meters wide, and each iron cage has a hook similar to that on the bird cage.

The entire rectangular space is filled with such an iron cage, a piece of black pressing, if we don't release water outside, we can't find it at all.

When the flashlight passed, I saw that there seemed to be a few vague shadows floating in some cages, and I didn't know what it was, which made people's backs chill.
