In the dark, I floated on the surface of the lake, stunned as I looked at the entrance of the tomb not far in front of me.

It was submerged in the lake, and only a finger's high gap remained.

How so? Just now when I was at the bottom of the lake, the water level rose again. However, the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake has long stopped, and although the rain outside has increased, it is not enough to make the lake rise to a height of two meters in ten minutes!

Could it be that there is another place where the river is pouring in?

"Whoa!"

I was stunned when there was a noise behind me, and I hurriedly turned around to look, but saw a black shadow emerge from the water and instantly came in front of me.

"Liang Ruoyi?!" When I saw this man's face clearly, I was overjoyed: "Are you really okay?!" ”

"Nonsense!" Liang Ruoyi slapped me on the back of the head: "If something happens, you will become a ghost!" Hurry up, there's something underwater! ”

"Let's go? Where are you going?! I saw Liang Ruoyi say that he swam towards the entrance of the nearest tomb, and hurriedly followed: "After the undercurrent stops, the water level is still rising!" You say there's something down there? What's the matter? I just went down to look for you, and I saw a few little snakes! ”

Liang Ruoyi didn't pay attention to me at all, and climbed up to the nearest tomb with some difficulty, sitting on the ground and panting for breath.

I waited until she was a little exhausted, so I hurriedly dived into the previous cave and carried my backpack on my back—fortunately it was heavy enough, otherwise it would have drifted away.

"Hey, eat!" I also climbed up to the grave, took the food out of my bag and handed it to Liang Ruoyi.

Liang Ruoyi was also not polite, took it and ate it in a big gulp.

"Hey, slow down!" I looked at the ice beauty with a wry smile: "Where have you been for so long?" Have you been hiding underwater? ”

"I'm telling you, there are several secret passages under the water that lead to the cliffs on all sides!" Liang Ruoyi said while eating: "In addition to the one we came in from the outside before, there are three more, which should lead to the other three cliffs. After my accident in the morning, I forced myself to jump into the water, and the icy water of the lake allowed me to recover, but at that time there were many undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, and I followed an undercurrent into the cliff that I don't know. ”

"No wonder, I said, no matter how good you are in the water, you can't hold on to the bottom of the lake for so long!" I shrugged: "By the way, the toad came before, and it was in the tomb just now, and suddenly disappeared, and I don't know where it went." ”

"Gone?"

"Yes, we saw a white jade in the wooden coffin in that tomb, he wanted to go over and get it, but he didn't expect that together with the jade, it was suddenly dragged into the cliff, and now there is only a black hole left, I ......"

Speaking of this, I was suddenly stunned! No, when I went down to get my backpack, the hole was already blocked! If it were still there, wouldn't all the water in the lake pour into it?! But who blocked it?

Without saying a word, I got up and re-entered the lake, swimming to the cave where I had been before.

Sure enough, the entrance to the cave was blocked by a stone, but it was just an ordinary mountain stone, not the white jade. I stepped forward and pushed, but I didn't push away, and turned back to the lake.

"The hole is blocked!" I said to Liang Ruoyi, "Is it a human or a ghost?" ”

"It's not the seventh master, it's the fifth chai." Liang Ruoyi said a word of nonsense.

I climbed up to the entrance of the tomb again, and when I saw that Liang Ruoyi had finished eating, I opened my mouth and asked, "You said there is something down there?" What is it? ”

"I don't know."

I was stunned: "I don't know? What do you see? ”

"Didn't see anything."

I was annoyed: "Didn't you see anything and said there was something?" Trick me? ”

"Think for yourself!" Liang Ruoyi drank the milk with relish: "Where did the big carp go?" There's not just one hooked snake, right? Why do those snakes suddenly disappear while eating? ”

"You're saying there's almost no life in this place because there's something in the lake?" The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, knowing that I had just swam in a big circle, and if there was really something, wouldn't it slip around on people's lips?!

"Definitely!" Liang Ruoyi nodded very firmly: "Just like when we were outside, those black carp suddenly disappeared because of hooked snakes, and now there are not even a small fish in this lake, who believes it?" ”

I rubbed my hands vigorously: "Forget it, I'm not going to go into the water either, you say that, it reminds me of the great white shark." Tell me, what do you see inside the cliff? ”

"I didn't pay attention, I'm afraid you'll ......" Liang Ruoyi said and coughed dryly: "I didn't look carefully, and I came out." ”

"Oh." I responded, "So what now?" The water level rose another two meters after the rain stopped, and I don't know why. ”

"Silly you! There are many secret passages, and it is impossible for them all to end at the same time. Liang Ruoyi threw the finished milk into the garbage bag he carried: "Let's go to the bottom of the lake and go to the cliff through the secret passage." ”

I was stunned: "Big sister! Are you serious? You just said that there is something inside, it is very dangerous, and even the hooked snake does not dare to come, you let me in, and I will not go if you kill me! ”

Liang Ruoyi is fine, and a big stone in my heart has fallen. Now I want to stay here and wait for the news of the Seventh Master and them, or the news of Chai Lao Wu and them. Let me risk my life to go to the bottom of the lake again, the gains outweigh the losses!

Seeing that I didn't agree, Liang Ruoyi glanced at me: "Are you going to wait here?" Then let me ask you, after a day's work today, the level of this lake has risen by more than 50 meters, and it is still more than 300 meters before it reaches the top of the cliff. And the rainstorm has been raining for two days, and it is estimated that it will rain for three days at most, do you have enough food? Is there enough water? Because of a hooked snake, it will be difficult for me to protect you, and if something else comes while waiting, I can only protect myself, and you can only wait for death! ”

That being said, I understand the reason, but the last adventure made Liang Ruoyi lose a finger and almost lost his life, this time I really prefer to wait here.

"The oxygen cylinder is gone...... I started looking for other reasons, but my tone was not so firm.

"You are a big man, you can't dive to the bottom of the lake?" Liang Ruoyi gave me a disdainful look, packed up his things and prepared to go to the lake.

I have no choice but to pack my things, I don't want to be here alone, that's the real waiting for death.

When he was about to enter the water, a "gurgling" bubble suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake not far away. I hurriedly took my flashlight and shone it over, and saw that the blisters were getting faster and bigger, as if something was about to come up.

I was just about to speak, when I heard a "bang", and a black mass came out of the water, flashing in front of the flashlight - it was a large carp about half a foot long!

"What's going on?" I glanced at Liang Ruoyi.

Liang Ruoyi didn't speak, but stared at the lake.

"Puff-"

After a few sounds, several large black carp sprang out of the lake, as if they had fried a pot. I was a little stunned, could it be that there was really something in it?

As soon as I finished thinking about it, I saw a splash burst out on the surface of the lake, and a black carp rushed out desperately, and just in mid-air, a gray light flashed out, engulfing it in an instant!

Hooked snake?! Liang Ruoyi is really right, this hooked snake is not one, and it seems that this hooked snake is a whole circle thicker than the one we killed before!

My lips trembled a little and asked Liang Ruoyi: "Hey, beauty, you really got it right!" What do we do now? Are you really waiting to die here?! ”

"Do you have a way?" Liang Ruoyi gave me a blank look: "Do you dare to go into the water now?" If you don't dare, pray they don't come to provoke you! ”

Damn, you say it so easily every time! I turned my head to look at the lake, and the hooked snake was already eating, and kept swallowing the carp, as if I hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time.

In the darkness, the raindrops of beans fell from the hole above to the surface of the lake, creating ripples one after another, as if to soundtrack this crazy scene. After a minute, the carp fled, was eaten, and no longer jumped out of the lake.

The hooked snake seemed to have eaten enough, and returned to its nest, and the lake soon returned to calm, except for the "snapping" of raindrops falling on it.
