Chapter 521: The World Underneath
The well water is a little cold.
As soon as his toes were immersed in the well water, goosebumps began to appear on his legs, but to be honest, he still wanted to take a good bath, after all, he had experienced a sandstorm not long ago, and his clothes were blown into rags, and his face was covered with yellow sand, and he looked like a wild man.
Later, in order to figure out what had attacked the people at Vulture Castle in the forest, Turtledove rolled up his pants and waded through the muddy swamp, where he was attacked by a test subject, leaving him covered in stinking mud.
The turtledove itself is used to smelling, but this is sand and mud, coupled with the sweat tossed out along the way, the little insect is almost unable to stay by the side of the turtledove, that is, there is no water, if there is water, the little insect can't immediately strip off the turtle dove and press it on the ground to brush it well.
The smell is just too big.
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why the turtledove asked the turtledove to go to the bottom of the well to see if there is any water eye, and the biggest beneficiary of the turtledove can have a chance to bathe the turtledove.
In fact, the turtledove also felt quite ashamed in his heart, after all, no one wants to let others say that he has a strange smell, so he didn't need the worm to pick out the words, and the turtledove honestly went down to the well.
It's just that I don't know how deep this well is, the turtle dove is not very watery, he can dive down a short section with a breath, if the well is too deep, the turtle dove has no way to do this, and he must let the worm with better water quality come down to take a look.
"I'm going down."
Climbing with both hands on the crack in the masonry of the well wall, the turtledove had only one head floating on the water, and after he said this, he took a deep breath, and then lowered his head and sank completely under the water.
The sound of gunfire that was still lingering in his ears disappeared in an instant, and the turtledove looked up and looked up, only to see that the sunlight outside sprinkled on the sparkling water surface had a kind of beauty, especially when looking out from the water to the water, the little insect was crouching next to the well with his hands on his cheeks, and was staring at the turtledove below.
So the turtledove made a "no problem" gesture at her again, reassuring the little worm above.
……
After diving three or five meters, the surrounding light suddenly became extremely dim, the turtledove knew that this was a normal phenomenon, so he didn't show too much panic, he couldn't help but look up at the insect again, but at this time the figure of the insect was already relatively blurry, and he couldn't see clearly.
An inexplicable feeling of loss came to the turtledove's heart, he understood that these were all dim light and the oppressive environment to make trouble, stabilized the mood, the turtledove continued to dive, and dived down again I don't know how deep, at this time the light here has been so dim that the turtledove can barely see anything, and the ears are also "buzzing", fortunately, the turtledove's feet finally stepped on the bottom of the well.
The ear buzzing is due to the influence of the eardrum by the water pressure, which is equivalent to a warning, without the help of professional equipment, the depth of the average person's freehand diving is quite limited, and it will also be accompanied by great danger, so it is easy not to try.
Fortunately, the strength of the turtledove's body is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he finally dived to the bottom of the well, but he is almost close to the limit of his body, and even if the turtledove's body can hold on, the oxygen in his lung lobes is about to run out, and he must find out the condition of the bottom of the well as soon as possible, and then quickly rise.
Thinking so in his heart, the turtledove began to grope under the water with his hands out of sight, and he wanted to use his sense of touch to find possible water eyes.
There really is!
The skin on the back of his left hand felt a slight surge of water, and the turtledove quickly groped in that direction with his senses, and in a place close to the wall of the well and the bottom of the water, the turtledove really felt a water eye that was slowly gushing from the outside to the inside, and the flow was not large, but it was real.
At this point, one of the turtledoves' hearts finally let go.
He was particularly concerned that there was no eye at the bottom of the well, which meant that the underground water system was not alive, and if the Lost City had been destroyed by an accidental leak like Ash Ridge, the contaminants that had leaked at that time would probably still be present in the underground water system today.
Turtledoves and Bugs, as well as the rest of the Vulture Castle people, all of whom drink the contaminated water, will soon become selfless test subjects one by one.
Fortunately, the turtledove found an eye at the bottom of the well, indicating that the underground water system here is indeed living water, so even if the Lost City is really a replica of Gray Ridge, the contaminants leaking into the underground water system have already flowed to unknown places, and have been diluted to the extent that they are no longer useful enough.
So the turtledove can finally stop worrying about becoming a voice follower, - how much he resents the appearance of the voice follower.
……
Finding the eye of water, the turtledove's task was successfully completed, and at this time the oxygen in his two lung lobes was almost used, so the turtledove did not stay much, and he began to swim towards the surface of the water with both arms waved.
The higher and higher he swam, the turtle dove couldn't wait to tell the good news to the little worm above, but when he swam to a distance of a meter or two from the water, he found that the little worm was not there.
If this is the case, the turtledove will not feel anything strange, the key is that the turtledove not only did not see the insects, but also heard a burst of noises, as if someone was talking above.
Rolling his eyes twice, Ikaruga decided that he should not be busy showing up, and first find a way to find out what was going on.
The turtledove grabbed the wall of the well with both hands, and slowly rubbed it up along the wall little by little, and at the same time put its ears on the wall of the well, and yes, there was indeed someone talking on it, and the specific content of what was said could not be heard, but it was certainly not a small worm.
"What's going on?"
There was a muttering in his heart, but the turtledove still couldn't understand what was going on above, and he wanted to climb out of the well first, but then he thought of what the worm often said to him.
The insect always tells the turtledove that he must stay calm and never act recklessly, and recklessness is precisely the biggest problem of the turtledove.
"It has to be changed!"
The turtledove still remembers the appearance of the insect when he said these four words to himself.
Suddenly he felt a figure swaying above, and the turtledove immediately pressed his body against the uneven wall of the well as slowly sinking downward, but the oxygen in his lungs was about to run out, and he could not hold his breath at any moment.
