Chapter Eighty-Four: Testing the Waters
I looked at the waterhole in front of me, and then looked back at the fat men. The pen www.biquge.info asked the fat man: "Does the map say that there is such a waterhole in this place?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said no. After saying that, I was afraid that I would not believe it, so I took out the map and showed it to me. I waved my hand to show that I didn't need to look at it. During this time, He Tao threw stones into the waterhole many times. Although the direction and distance of the loss are different, the sound that can be emitted still does not change much. This means that it is most likely to be a vertical downward pool and not shallow in depth.
The four of them sat not far from the waterhole for a while, looking at each other, not knowing what to do next.
I thought about it, stood up, and went up to the edge of the waterhole to see what was going on. I didn't expect to be pulled by the fat man.
"We're underground. There was a deeper pool in such a deep place, and there was no guarantee that there would be something in it. ”
I shook my head, "Are you just sitting here?" I went to see it, and I didn't say anything about going down for a swim. I didn't wait for the fat man to say anything, but got up and walked to the edge of the pool.
Although the flashlight will be refracted in the water, after all, the basic penetrating power is still there. The wolf eye in my hand says that the effective illumination can reach 350 meters under strong lighting. But even so, the flashlight disappeared the moment it entered the water.
I stood on the edge of the waterhole and looked at the water. The calm water does not fluctuate at all. At this time, Lan walked over, bent down and bowed a handful of water, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Living water." Lan said.
I nodded. The waterhole does not fluctuate on the surface, but the taste of the water is similar to that of ordinary river water. The difference is that the temperature in this place is extremely low and the water temperature is bone-chilling.
It's hard to say what could be in this kind of waterhole that develops deep above the surface. There are some species that have never been seen before. If we rush into the water now, we will not be able to fall into the hands of the other party. But now if we don't go into the water and check it out, we have no other choice.
The fat man obviously thought of this question as well, but he just didn't say it, and frowned at me and motioned for me to speak.
I was like what this fat man meant, and I wondered if I should go down and have a look.
Needless to say, since this waterhole is living water, there must be an underground water system connected to it underneath. Let's not talk about how much it will test people's psychological quality to dive into such a pool of water that is so dark that they can't see their fingers. If there were some aggressive creatures down there, they might not be able to get up this time.
Just as I was undecided, there was a sudden "pop" sound of entering the water behind me. Immediately after that, I saw the fat people, they looked behind me and opened their mouths wide.
I felt a chill in my back, and my heart said that something couldn't have jumped up, right? Immediately turned around to look. But when I looked at it, I saw that it was wrong.
Holy, Ran? Lan fell? Or was it dragged down by something? For a while, my mind was full of images of African zebras being dragged into the water by crocodiles.
"Where's Lan?" I asked. "Fell?"
The fat man opened his mouth wide and shook his head: "No, she jumped off by herself." ”
No way. I cursed in my heart, and I said that I don't need to be in such a hurry, right? Thinking about it, I quickly took off my clothes, bit the flashlight and jumped down.
It turned out to be really impulsive.
The icy water woke me up in an instant.
The flashlight still has the ability to illuminate underwater. But when the beam was launched, it was swallowed up by the surrounding darkness. In this way, there is no difference between having a flashlight and not having a flashlight.
With a lot of courage and two lungs of air, I finally chose to stay in the water. It's just that they don't dare to dive deeper, so they choose to stay above the water.
That way, if Lan encounters something urgent, I can also help. I comforted myself. At the same time, he looked around underwater.
Because it was a very deep pool, and the upper water was flowing slowly, the surrounding water was so clear that it was still possible to see the situation within four or five meters, but it was of little use - except for the water and water.
When I watched underwater for a while, I found that the fat man and He Tao's wide open mouth still hadn't closed.
"Damn, what are you doing? Mandarin ducks playing in the water? The fat man asked me.
I rolled my eyes and raised my hand to throw water at the fat man: "You fucking move the flashlight away, you're blind." ”
"What's next?" He Tao asked.
"I want to know if you come down and see for yourself." I say.
The fat man said, "Don't be scared, hurry up and get Sister Lan back." The ghost knows what's down there in a waterhole of this depth, be careful. ”
I nodded, and just wanted to plunge into the water, but suddenly stopped: "Damn, it's dark down there, and I can't see anything when I go down." Besides, Lan didn't turn on the flashlight, and I couldn't find her specific location when I went down. How do you bring her up? ”
Well, I'll admit that I'm cowardly now, and I regret getting into the water. Lan is of course important in my heart, but in the face of such a dark and bottomless waterhole under my feet, Lao Tzu is cowardly from the bottom of my heart.
The fat man looked at me and thought for a moment. He said, "Then you come up first." The water is too cold. Don't find Sister Lan by then, you will freeze first. ”
Not to mention that I didn't feel anything, but as soon as the fat man said this, I immediately felt the coldness around me. Nodding, he swam back from the pool in embarrassment.
When I got ashore, the fat man shivered incessantly when he saw me, and even his lips turned purple. Just light the wind lamp to keep me warm. While keeping warm, he counted me down: "You young people, what can't be solved well?" Why can't you think of jumping into the water? ”
I rolled my eyes, wrapped my clothes tightly and ignored him. When the fat man saw that I didn't respond, he nagged there on his own.
After a long time of nagging, I got tired of listening. stopped him: "Can you fucking rest?" "I know it's a way for fat people to relieve their anxiety. But I'm also quite annoyed now, and there is a person next to me who keeps nagging, and the irritability is getting stronger and stronger.
The fat man made a zipper gesture on his mouth, indicating that he was no longer talking. But at this time, He Tao spoke.
"Why hasn't Sister Lan come up after going down for so long?"
I was stunned, and my heart said I depend. I finally found the reason why I was so annoyed. Damn, at first I thought it was a dead end and I couldn't get out. It turned out that Lan hadn't come up yet.
If a normal person can hold their breath for three minutes, then they can only hold on for about a minute at most. And that's without taking into account the fact that the further down the water pressure increases. Even if Lan is not an ordinary person, it has been at least more than five minutes since she entered the water. Why hasn't she come up yet? Is there a problem?
