Chapter 170: Something Underwater
The water is very cold, even in the hot sun, probably because it is so turbid that the temperature drops considerably after barely a few meters of dive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What's more, the water gets thicker and thicker the water goes, as if it's inside the mud, and it's hard to make a big move.
Yi Chen continued to dive, and the surrounding environment became very dim due to the light, but it was still difficult for Yi Chen, but those mud-like things made people feel quite disgusting.
In this way, it has been down for about half a minute, and it is at least nearly 30 meters at the speed of Yichen, but it still has no meaning, and it is difficult to imagine that the depth of a river is more than 30 meters.
This kind of reservoir is not that deep!
Yi Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, looking up from his position, there was no way to see the sand dredging boat, let alone the surroundings, everywhere he saw was turbid.
In this way, after another half a minute, Yi Chen faintly noticed that a large area of black appeared in the turbid river water, which was probably the riverbed.
But at this moment, a burst of water suddenly came out from above, dragging a whirlpool towards Yichen.
Yi Chen looked up and flashed to the side, only to find that it seemed to be a strange creature cruising above him, and the whirlpool was the current formed by the swinging tail of the thing.
I was just trying to catch up and see what it was, but suddenly the same creature appeared below, and several vortices swept towards me again.
Reaching forward and pushing out a palm, the spiritual power turned into a barrier to wrap itself, and Yi Chen rushed towards the monster below, wanting to see what it was, maybe this was the reason why those people disappeared before.
However, the creature also has a strong consciousness, and they seem to understand that Yichen is not easy to mess with, so when Yichen rushes away, there is no trace of them there.
The pressure in the water is very high, after all, this is almost close to a depth of more than 100 meters, and there must be some special formations here, which makes Yi Chen's action speed begin to be hindered to a certain extent, and the speed is definitely not comparable to that on land.
Since he didn't bother to pay attention to the Yichen on the step, he wouldn't have any impact on himself anyway, so he would go to the bottom of the pit first.
So Yi Chen continued to descend, although the mysterious artifact in the shadows still often made some water flow to hinder him, but it could not stop Yi Chen from diving.
Slowly, Yi Chen got closer and closer to the black riverbed, and even saw the strange plants growing out of the riverbed, they were very scattered, but there were quite a few of them, there should be dozens! It's a pity that the sight is too poor to see its specific appearance at all, which should be what Gong Yupeng mentioned before.
Yi Chen looked at the things below, and felt that it seemed a little strange, could it be that there were aquatic plants growing in such a deep place, or was this the remnant array that the old man said before?
From this situation, it is very likely that the remnant array was originally a huge space, just below the riverbed, but because the top of the space was dug up by the sand dredging boat, it caused the collapse to form such a deep hole.
Finally, after a burst of acceleration, Yi Chen came to the bottom of the cave.
The strong water pressure around it brought huge resistance, if it was ordinary, it was estimated that it would be difficult to breathe under such pressure, and if the three salvage team members and crew members before really fell here, there was really no chance of survival.
Stepping on the bottom of the cave, a burst of mud and sand was raised, making the turbid water body even more difficult to distinguish, and the strength of Yichen in such deep water was also greatly hindered, he tried to condense his spiritual power, and found that the strength could only play about fifty percent at most.
Raising his feet and starting to move, Yi Chen slowly walked under the muddy water, he wanted to see what those strange plants were first.
Getting closer, Yi Chen saw the appearance of the plant as if it were his eyes, but this look also made Yi Chen's brows furrow.
Plants are right, they look a lot like mushrooms up close! However, the main trunk of this mushroom is nearly four or five meters high, the thickness of the thighs, and the most important thing is that the "umbrella cover" part of the mushroom is simply hanging upside down!
That's right, it's all one person! They were all lifeless, each head down, their heads connected to the mushroom's trunk, apparently fused into one, bobbing back and forth in the water as the undercurrent passed.
As far as the eye can see, the "mushrooms" scattered in this huge pit are all such things, which makes people's scalp tingle at the first sight.
Some of the corpses have obviously been soaked for a long time, but the flesh on them is still there, but because of the long-term soaking, they are extremely swollen, and those faces are even more terrifying, as they keep swinging, I really think they are still alive!
After Yi Chen's observation, there were a few "mushrooms" nearby that were obviously newly grown, because they were very small, and the people hanging on them did not look very scary, and three of them were newly dead, they should be the three salvage team members.
Seeing these Yi Chen, I can't help but think, what are these things, artificially created So, what is the person who made him? What's the use of doing this?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stretch out my hand to touch the trunk of those "mushrooms", and then a wonderful feeling flooded into my mind, as if this thing had its own consciousness, and was sending a message to let it go.
This is interesting, could it be that this "mushroom" still grows on its own, catches humans and uses it as food?
A spirit sword appeared in his hand, and Yi Chen slashed directly at the main trunk of the "mushroom", but at this time, a huge suction force suddenly came from behind, directly pulling his body.
When I looked back, I found that a large mouth appeared behind me!
That mouth is almost as tall as a person, and if you compare it with Yi Chen, you can almost swallow Yi Chen in one bite.
And it was this big mouth that was constantly inhaling towards Yi Chen, wanting to swallow it directly into his stomach.
Yi Chen smiled slightly, and his backhand against that mouth was a sword, even if his own strength was suppressed by fifty percent, but that thing was obviously impossible to resist Yi Chen's attack, and it was cut in half from the middle at that time.
Gently moving to the side of the corpse of the thing, Yi Chen found that this was actually a huge catfish, but the head of this catfish was very wide, but the body was disproportionate to the head, it was extremely short, and there were four extremely long whiskers on each side of the big mouth.
"Corpse catfish?" A name appeared in Yi Chen's mind, this thing was very similar to the rumored catfish, that kind of catfish was cultivated by people, specially used to clean up the corpse, and that kind of corpse catfish was exactly the same as the current pattern of the one with no face except for sadness.
Just as Yi Chen was thinking about whether this thing was a corpse catfish, there were several more identical catfish behind him, and they all seemed to be much bigger than the one he had killed earlier.
Yi Chen was not flustered, and the spirit sword in his hand swung again, each sword was very deadly, even if that group of corpse catfish surrounded him, it was just a matter of a few swings.
So in a moment, the waters around Yi Chen were already scarlet, and all kinds of internal organs were floating back and forth around him.
There is also a lot of delay, and he should go up and talk to Yao Zhihong and them, so as not to worry them, but before going up, he can transport the bodies of a few of them first, and the others will disperse, and talk to the old man about this, because he intuitively feels that these things are not ordinary, and it is very likely that some people deliberately made them.
Thinking like this in his heart, he immediately took action under his feet, and after a few jumps, he came to the "mushrooms" of the three salvage team members, and then slashed the spirit sword at the torso.
The main trunk was cut open immediately, but Yi Chen, who was startled, hurriedly jumped back, and it turned out that after the main trunk was cut off, streams of bright red blood spurted out, and looking at the incision of the main trunk, it was like an arm without bones, and there were a large number of blood vessels.
Obviously, this has become a complete body structure, after all, I have not heard of any plants having blood vessels.
But now was not the time to do that, Yi Chen grabbed the severed trunk and followed him to the corpse's head, and then cut it open where they were connected, so that the corpse could float to the surface of the water on its own.
As he did, Yi Chen continued to cut the other two corpses, and after a while, the bodies of all three salvage team members were liberated, and of course, nothing strange happened except for the fact that there was still a lot of blood floating from the main trunk.
Yi Chen also kept an eye on it, he also cut a piece from those trunks and put it on his body, ready to let the old man see what it was later, so that he could come back to find out what it was, because intuitively he always felt that there must be something else underneath this, not to mention anything else, just where these mushrooms grew from he hadn't found out, but at the moment, there was still a group of people waiting for his news, so he could only go up first.
The ascent was much easier than the dive, even with three corpses, and soon Yi Chen was near the water, and almost all the faces on the sand dredging boat could be seen.
"Wow!"
There was a sound of breaking the water, and Yi Chen also rushed out of the water, and then jumped onto the boat in one step.
"How? Did you find anything? Yao Zhihong hurriedly asked.
Yi Chen didn't answer, but directly took the half of the mushroom trunk in his hand to the old man, and then put his hand into the water and grabbed three corpses in a row, which were the three members of the salvage team that he had brought back from under the water before.
