Chapter 182: Undersea Tunnel
A group of people quickly swam towards Shui Ling'er, and when they arrived at the pillar next to Shui Ling'er, they looked down, and found that there was a hole the size of a water tank underground, like a large loach hole, hidden under a coral reef, and it was difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.
When I first saw this hole, I also looked at it, but I didn't feel anything different or weird about this hole, but I felt that it was difficult for a big fish to get into it.
Shui Ling'er didn't explain, so she gestured at the fat man a few times, and the fat man knowingly pulled out the black mallet tied to his waist, and began to smash it directly towards the hole with three strokes and five divisions.
When the fat man smashed the hole, I held up my flashlight and shone it inside, and found that it was very deep, and there was no end in sight in the dark.
Even in the water, the fat man's strength was still surprisingly strong, and he quickly smashed down the entire coral reef that spread out of the hole.
The deep passage is presented in front of us, and this underwater passage is also the first time I have encountered it, but it is the traces of this artificial excavation, which indicates that the eight achievements here are the entrance to this shipwreck burial.
The whole tunnel is very wide, but it is not high, the six-meter-wide tunnel is only about one meter and a half high, and there is no way to stand in it, and it seems that you can only swim in, or......
Climb in.
It seems that the tunnel itself was built to facilitate underwater progress, which is strange.
Anyone who builds a mausoleum naturally does not want to be disturbed by outsiders, and if this tunnel is built along with the ancient tomb on the shipwreck, then the purpose is to allow people to pass through the water, which creates a contradiction.
The surface of the tunnel is very smooth, and some small colorful fish can be seen swimming inside, gnawing on the fungi on the edge of the tunnel.
As soon as the light of the flashlight shone like this, those small fish and shrimp began to scurry inside, and soon disappeared, and it can be seen from the side that this underwater tunnel is very long.
With a width of six meters, basically all of us will not have any difficulty swimming side by side, after the fat man opened up the hole, he leaned half into it, and the light of the flashlight completely shone into it, and he did not see the end of the tunnel, and the seawater still has a strong ability to absorb light.
Mao Sanzhi also swam to the edge of the tunnel entrance, and after making a gesture to everyone, he went straight in, followed by the fat man and Fang Tianming, I followed the two of them, and Shui Ling'er was next to me.
The walls on both sides of the tunnel are very smooth, but there are a lot of sharp inverted triangles on the top of the head, one next to the other, densely packed to see people are very diaphragmatic, we swim in the middle of the tunnel, three or two in a wave, and not lined up in a straight line, this is also just in case, after all, this is an ancient tomb, the dead can stay in place, the living stop, maybe some trap is installed.
For me, who has a slight claustrophobia, I felt the feeling in that ancient well again, but this time after all, there are so many people, and Mao San's diagnosis is also there, so my heart is quite steady, but I am only faintly uneasy.
After swimming a few dozen meters further, I found that the smooth stone walls on both sides of the tunnel were gone, replaced by the kind of reliefs that had been corroded very badly, and only one outline could be seen, and it was impossible to distinguish the original appearance of these reliefs.
It can only be vaguely seen that they are all Buddhist sculptures, as well as some birds and beasts, which have no economic value, but they can be used to infer the time of this shipwreck burial by virtue of these sculptures, which should be in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
The front of the tunnel is horizontal, and after arriving at the position where there is a sculpture, it begins to slowly extend downward, it seems that we should be about to enter the shipwreck burial, I will now roughly estimate the distance from the beginning of our entry into the tunnel, how can we swim more than 100 meters, if this is not into the shipwreck burial, it will be a bit strange, it can't be this tunnel directly to the main burial chamber, this possibility is almost none.
Suddenly, the speed of Mao Sanzhi and the fat man in front of him slowed down suddenly, and the two of them directly arched their waists, and the fat man immediately gestured at us, telling us to stop first, and the mallet in his hand was also immediately placed horizontally on his chest, which was the action of the fat man when he was ready to fight.
This tunnel is so deep, there may be some larger fish monsters living in it, but I can't see my current position clearly, and I didn't turn on the flashlight, so I can only follow the light of the fat man's flashlight, but it is directly blocked by the fat man's large body.
I immediately nervously tensed, under the water, the rifle will definitely not be used, the tiger spirit and they bought some modified waterproof pistols, but to be honest, the bullet under this water, the effective range is greatly reduced, and the resistance of the water is amazing in the face of high-speed objects.
The kind of waterproof pistol they are holding has also been specially treated, which can increase the range of some shots, but compared to land, there is still a very big gap.
I swung to the side a few times, and I thought about going around the fat man to the front to see what was going on, after all, the two of them were so stunned that they didn't have the posture to run, so my curiosity seduced me.
Because there are people on both sides, Shui Ling'er on the left, and a guy on the right, I'm sandwiched in the middle, so it's not easy to make big moves, and I can only pin my head lightly to look at it, and I still don't see anything.
So I waved my hand to the people behind me and signaled them to disperse, so that if the fat man and Mao San encountered any emergencies for them, they could also retreat immediately, so as not to be blocked by the people behind and cause traffic jams.
Seeing that the team was also sawing open, Mao Sanzhi and the fat man still didn't move.
This is going to be a dead man, after all, it is under the water, there is no way to communicate with words, they are motionless, it is like being evil, I am really uncomfortable, so I made a gesture at Shui Ling'er, signaling her to go up to see what the situation is, in this water, if I want to pick out the strongest one, it is definitely Shui Ling'er.
I was still behind, and Shui Ling'er's body was much smaller than mine, and I drilled directly through the gap between the fat man and Mao Sanji.
After drilling over, he waved his hand at the fat man and Mao Sanji, signaling them to retreat.
The fat man has also seen Shui Ling'er's ability, and naturally he will not be in front of this aunt and grandmother, Mao Sanzhi must also be very aware of Shui Ling'er's ability, so he looked at each other with the fat man, and came back together, I always feel that the tacit understanding between Mao Sanzhi and the fat man seems to be more than me and the fat man.
This is more embarrassing, the two of them have only been meeting for more than a day now, do the tomb robbers cherish each other, maybe, anyway, my attention is completely on Shui Ling'er's figure.
But to my surprise, Shui Ling'er's figure disappeared quickly, the water in front of him began to become turbid, we swam all the way, the water quality is very clear, but here, the water began to be turbid, I also felt a sense of something wrong, maybe Mao Sanzhi and the fat man just thought the same, did not rush into the muddy water area in front of them, and did not see the actual danger, so they stopped.
Now I still can't communicate in words, and a few people can only look at each other and gesticulate, but they can understand a general meaning.
After reading the fat man's gesture, I was suddenly a little unsettled, his meaning seemed to tell me that in the muddy water area in front, there were large creatures, what was it, and he couldn't figure it out, I could only look at the location where Shui Ling'er had disappeared just now.
