"The Tomb of the Deep Lake: Chapter 22: The Secret Under the River"

I looked at the liquid in the lake and was a little stunned, wondering what was in it that could have torn this doll apart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't know what to do in this situation at the moment, it seems that there is a fierce monster hidden under this river, and everything that enters this river will end up like the doll.

I looked at Ren Ke beside me, although he didn't make any movements, but his expression was very serious, and I couldn't guess what kind of mechanism there was in this river.

Because of the fate of the puppet before, the two of us didn't act rashly for a while. Ren Ke kept staring at the place where the river was bubbling just now, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Ren Ke suddenly put down his backpack, and then jumped into the river without saying a word. After I saw him do this, I quickly stood up and called: "Ren Ke, you are crazy!" ”

But he ignored my voice, and after jumping into the river, he got to his feet. The river was actually not too deep, and Ren Ke's height of more than one meter and eight meters was just not up to his chest.

I saw that he also exhaled after standing firmly, it seemed that there was nothing to do now, just when I thought he was safe, Ren Ke's expression suddenly became a little flustered, and the body he had just stood up suddenly shook, as if someone below was dragging him.

I hurriedly took out a rope from my backpack and threw it to his side and said, "Hurry up and pull it, I'll pull you up." ”

Although the current situation is indeed a bit unexpected, Ren Ke is also a seasoned person after all, and he did not be reckless after immediately stabilizing his figure, and then grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist.

I fastened the other end of the rope to the stone pillar at the entrance of the cave, and the thing in this river was so wicked that if I did have to fight it, I was not sure that I would be able to compete with it.

Last night, I signaled to Ren Ke in the river. He also tugged at the rope, and when he was sure that it was strong, he walked alone towards the other end of the river.

My eyes were firmly on his body, and the frequency of my heart was almost overlapping with Ren Ke's every step. And when he walked to the middle of the river, his already stable figure became shaky again. And this time the shaking amplitude is even greater than before.

Ren Ke took out the military dagger on his waist, then took a deep breath and dived into the water. Immediately afterwards, a whirlpool formed around it, and on the edge of the whirlpool there were bubbles of water as before.

The previous doll thrown into the river also appeared in such a scene before it was torn apart, I saw that the form was a little wrong, and immediately ran to the end of the rope to prepare to pull Ren Ke back, this river is indeed a bit evil, and Ren Ke can't be allowed to take this risk himself.

Just as I was about to pull back hard, Ren Ke suddenly shouted at me: "Don't move, stay there!" After saying that, he took advantage of the gap in his head to take a breath and plunged into the water again.

Being shouted by Ren Ke like this, I was also a little stunned and stayed in place, and now I can only leave the situation to him to deal with, since he let me stay here, it proves that he should be sure.

I loosened the end of the rope and pointed my pistol at the whirlpool, and if something did come out of the whirlpool, I should have shot it immediately.

After about a minute, there was no movement in the water. The whirlpool had disappeared for some unknown reason, and the bubble that had been coming out of the country had disappeared a minute ago. The river has also returned to its previous calm.

I looked at the river and suddenly felt a trace of unprecedented panic, could it be that Ren Ke had been eaten by this river? I looked anxiously at the other side of the river, but I didn't find Ren Ke except for the doll.

I shouted at the river, but there was no answer. I hurriedly grabbed the rope and tried to pull Ren Ke out of it, but no matter how hard I tried, the rope didn't move when it was pulled into a straight line. I don't know what kind of monster Ren Ke is entangled in it, and he has so much strength.

After a while I started to get exhausted, I just sat on the floor and gasped. It's been almost three minutes since Ren Ke went into the water, and even if he hadn't been hit by that monster inside, it was estimated that he would have been suffocated due to lack of oxygen.

I took my flashlight and looked at the river, but it was so dark that I couldn't see what was inside. I thought about it and felt that I should go into the water to take a look, although I am a timid person, but I am not invincible to anyone in this aspect of righteousness. What's more, since entering the ancient tomb, Ren Ke has also saved us repeatedly, how can he leave himself here at this time?

"Damn, it's a big deal that I won't touch this in my next life!" screamed loudly, and it was considered to be a courage to himself. And just as I was about to enter the water, there was a sudden movement on the other side of the river. A figure suddenly emerged from the water, and then climbed up to the other shore with difficulty.

I hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, and found that the person was tied with a rope, and that person was also Ren Ke, but his face was a little purple now, and it was because he had been in the water for too long and had no oxygen.

I hurriedly shook my hand and scolded: "You ******, you don't know how to say it, the bad Lao Tzu has been worrying about you for so long." ”

Ren Ke climbed ashore and shook the water on his head, and then looked at me a little innocently and said, "I'm sorry, the rope was stuck under just now, and it took some time." ”

After that, he untied the rope from his waist and tied it to the stone pillar at the other end, and the rope was completely suspended above the river. Then he took out a pulley from his backpack and put it on top of the rope, pushed it hard and said, "Grab this and swing it yourself." ”

I laughed, then hurriedly put on my backpack and slid over, and when I came over, I punched him and said, "I said you, you didn't say a word in there for so long, you treat you as a fish?" ”

Ren Ke scratched his head and returned: "No, it's just that I couldn't get out at the time, and it's only three minutes which isn't too long, right?" ”

Listening to Ren Ke's words, I was a little shocked, it is very difficult for ordinary people to hold on for two minutes without Ren Ke in the water, but he actually lasted three minutes underwater, and looking at his appearance, maybe it can be longer, I really don't know how good his lung capacity is!

I looked at the river behind me and asked, "You just went down, do you know what's down here?" ”

Ren Ke wiped it clean with a towel and said: "After all, there are several stone carvings in the area of this river, which seem to be soldiers guarding this river, and the weapons they hold are very sharp blades. At this point, he pointed to the doll not far away and said, "If you are touched by those things, that will be the end." ”

I still have palpitations when I look at the miserable appearance of that doll, and I don't need to look at it at the moment and ask him directly: "Then how did you get here?" ”

Ren Ke glanced at the river and continued: "The river is full of silt, so I couldn't stand on my feet when I just went down, and it was because I couldn't stand on my feet that I dived to avoid those sharp blades, I think the people who designed these things did it on purpose." As for the bubble, it is only produced by the stone carvings in the process of moving, because the air squeezed by the original part is released. It's just that the rope accidentally hung on the stone carving when I came over, so it was a little late when I came out. ”

After listening to Ren Ke's words, I suddenly realized, and then I also admired Ren Ke's courage to go down alone, if this matter was on me, I wouldn't go down to say anything.

After Ren Ke looked at the rope, he turned around and said, "This rope is placed here, they should be able to come over when they come." ”

With that, he continued walking, and I nodded and followed. All that was left was the tattered doll and the puddle of blinding red liquid on the edge of the river.
