I'm leaving, and even though we have oxygen cylinders to help me, I still don't know the bottom of my heart. The only way out is the underground river, what if it's an enclosed space, what if it's divided into many small tributaries.

Remove the mask, put the catheter in your mouth, and rip off a piece of underwear to plug your nose.

Instead of worrying about me, Zhe Xi was eager to try, because he said that as long as he entered the water, he could enjoy what he stepped on his feet with me.

"Are you ready?" I asked Zhe Xi and wanted to leave this place quickly, some smells in the confined space were difficult to disperse.

"Hmm!" Zhe Xi nodded vigorously, pinched his nose, puffed out his mouth vigorously, and then took the lead in stepping into the water curtain. I tightened the wrap around my coat, made some preparations, put on my mask, and followed in.

We still underestimate the predicament here and underthink a lot of things. As soon as we entered the water, we immediately felt squeezed and ravaged like dough. The water in all directions was now like paste, sticky, trying to hold me in place.

The two of us didn't even take a step before we were forced to pinch our noses and puff hard. Because of severe pain in the ear, the ear pressure is unbalanced.

After waiting for a while, I made an OK gesture to Zhe Xi and asked him if he could insist, and he responded with an OK. Then he gave him a thumbs up, which was not a compliment, but upward.

Follow the alleyway and move slowly. Fortunately, the miner's lamp flashlight we carried is waterproof, so we can see some large floating objects, and there are countless fine particles, densely wandering in front of us.

We seem to have forgotten to consider the issue of temperature, although it is said that the deeper the groundwater, the higher the temperature, but this is just over the New Year, and the water on the ground has not completely thawed!

It was extremely difficult to travel.

It was pitch black, and even the lights of the two of us could only shine a distance of more than 20 meters. The darkness kept laughing at the people struggling to survive, and the cat and mouse watched how far we could hold out.

A faint stream of water passed by, and the cold intensified. We can't stay in the water for too long, the muscles have already begun to contract, and the whole body is a little tight, which can easily lead to cramps; Increased pressure on the heart is also a warning.

It's too cold, and it's easy to make mistakes in judgment in extreme environments.

This is the second time we have to rebalance the ear pressure every distance upstream.

Zhe Xi suddenly grabbed my clothes, a series of bubbles came out of his mouth, and his other hand kept scratching on his neck, and his body involuntarily floated up.

I was startled and a row of bubbles came out of my mouth, and I quickly grabbed his hand and opened my eyes, and the blood on my body seemed to be about to coagulate. Too impulsive, ignoring a sentence mentioned by Zhe Xi before going down the well, many people have died here because of the underground river, and there are many signs that there are bad comers before.

The master said that I can kill one or two water ghosts underwater, and I am not afraid of a group of water ghosts on the shore, but if I encounter a group of water ghosts underwater, kill myself as soon as possible and play with them.

At this time in the water, I wielded the sword without moving, I couldn't step on the step, all the rune papers were invalid, and I couldn't even pronounce the mantra, and I felt a little powerless in the face of such a large group of water ghosts.

Zhe Xi's mouth kept bubbles, and he couldn't breathe. It was a water spirit that grabbed him by the neck and slammed it up. Because the water below is suspended, there is a good chance that we will escape if we go down.

I pulled Zhe Xi's hand hard, and with the help of this force, I quickly went up, trying to solve the water ghost who was choking my neck. But suddenly, a cold body grabbed me and was pulled away.

I desperately wanted to swim back to rescue Zhe Xi, but the water ghost in the water was too powerful, how could I break free, and the four or five next to me all fell on Zhe Xi's body, seeing that his strength was getting smaller and smaller.

And pointed into a sword, condensing the qi. The power of the path is much smaller, but it is a sword refined with three drops of my essence blood in a specific way, just like an extension of the body. The arm was back, it must have pierced the water ghost that bound me, anyway, I regained my freedom, and looked back at the guy struggling a few times to chase me again.

Many of the same people next to me found me who wanted to save Zhe Xi, and rushed over with their teeth and claws. I couldn't delay any longer, I rolled over and stepped on the top of the original cave, accelerated to avoid the first wave of obstruction, grabbed Zhe Xi's ankle, and climbed up.

My ankles were grabbed and pulled backwards, and they couldn't pull me away anymore when they didn't go up. With all my strength, I grabbed his knee with my hand, moved it up a little, continued to grasp the belt, forced, it broke, but fortunately I hugged his waist with some strength.

I felt a burning pain in my back and arms, the water ghosts had already shown their claws, and even gnawed at me with their teeth, this is not a pain on the **, but for the soul.

How could he have time to pay attention to these, moving upwards again, the sword finger pierced the two, and the horizontal cut finally drove away the water ghost who was pinching Zhe Xi's neck, and continued to swing it with undiminished power, scattering the surroundings. It's not enough to kill them, it's just a little bit of a delay.

I pinched Zhe Xi's nose and slapped him in the face, but fortunately I was still conscious, and I quickly recovered and made an OK gesture to me. Out of the corner of his eye, he found that the water ghost surrounded him again, took off his outer pants and tied his two trouser legs, pulled the zipper, ripped off the oxygen cylinder behind him, opened the valve and only tucked the top into the waistband of his pants, tightened the belt and handed it to Zhe Xi, and turned around to resist.

I'm going to turn the pants into a hydrogen balloon and increase buoyancy, and we'll go up a little faster. There is no way to go back, all the water ghosts have gathered to block the road, and it is impossible to break through. Although pants can't completely cover the gas, they can make a big difference.

Zhe Xi grabbed the connection between the oxygen cylinder and his pants with one hand, held my ankles with the other, and fluttered upstream with both feet, trying to control the direction.

The good news now is that the water ghosts are all right in front of me, and I'm not in the mood to count them. One pounced with its mouth wide open, and the other took the opportunity to bite my shoulder and shake it off so hard that the other covered my nose.

Don't be stupid, you can't breathe without covering me, but you still cut it in two, watch him recover, and rush at me again. I tried my best to break free from the water ghosts, but more and more people climbed up, and the resistance in the water was too great, and I gradually lost my strength.

I felt like I was being lifted up, and the oxygen catheter was stuffed into my mouth, and I quickly took a breath, as if injected with adrenal hormones, and regained a lot of strength. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I puffed up my gas in my mouth, and my ears hurt.

I made an OK gesture, there were already six water ghosts crawling on my body, and the one that knocked on my head just drove away, Zhe Xi's legs were crossed around my waist, this posture is not very elegant.

At a glance, I didn't have much gas left in my oxygen cylinder, and it quickly ran out. Throwing a jar is also a gravitational relief. Zhe Xi took him off and fixed it before grabbing my feet again and going upstream.

I'm starting to think about throwing away the artifacts in my coat, and even the trails. This is the only way to minimize our weight, speed up our ascent, and hopefully have a safe haven on it.

The water ghost rushed up like crazy, and the swollen body of the bubble was infinitely magnified in my eyes, and there were even many times when we were next to each other, where could we care about nausea. I've gone from resisting and approaching at the beginning to now pulling down from my body one by one.

I was lifted up again, turned my head up into the waistband of my pants, and breathed some air. The oxygen tank came out again and was clamped in Zhe Xi's armpit, suddenly bursting with bubbles, and two water ghosts crawled on his body, one biting his neck.

Driven away and restored to my previous position, I was already a little confused, and the symptoms of the water temperature being too low began to take over, and I could only rely on instinct. The oxygen tank was thrown down, floating against the original ceiling, bounced against the wall, and came to the ground again.

The ascent stopped, I turned around, Zhe Xi was out of the water, and I was lifted out of the water, breathing heavily.

"Go over there." I asked Zhe Xi to move in the direction of the underground river, and once again he was dragged into the water to be used as food for the water ghosts.
