Chapter 82: The Riverbed at the Bottom of the Pond
Li Youwu's "breaking through" must refer to the bottom of this rainbow pool, because we have both guessed before that there should be a passage at the bottom of this pool to another place, and is this place the place where you see "many, many people" in the mouth of the iron egg?
According to them, they swam along the rope all the way to the middle of the pool, but somehow, the more their bodies swam to the middle, the heavier they felt, and finally before they could shake the rope, the two of them sank together.
Due to the weak light at the bottom of the pool, and the water in the pool is already very deep, relying on the searchlight on the head can only see a distance of one or two meters, in the face of the sudden sinking, of course, it is panicked, that is, at this moment, I didn't hold my breath, and I ate two mouthfuls of the pool water.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Dan suddenly felt that his limbs began to stiffen, and his eyes began to blur, and at the moment when he was dizzy, when he was facing the bottom of the pool and sinking, he struggled to open his eyes and take a look, what he saw was that the entire pool bottom seemed to have a big screen, and on the other side of the screen, it seemed that there was a small piece of wood, in the woods, I vaguely saw a lot of men and women, surrounding the seven platoons and eight platoons and their comrades-in-arms, as if they were talking about something, and at this moment, Tie Dan and Xiao Liu also completely lost consciousness, When I woke up again, it was now on the shore.
After listening to Tie Dan and Xiao Liu's respective descriptions, one thing is for sure is that this is by no means a person's hallucination, otherwise it would be impossible for both people to have the same hallucination at the same time.
But there is a small forest at the bottom of this pool, which is very incomprehensible, and there are still lost comrades in the woods, talking to a group of people, so this group of people, is it the clansman who disappeared from Ah Zi?
Li Youwu returned to us, squatted down and asked Tie Dan, "If you go down again, do you still recognize the location of that grove?" β
"Little Lizi, what do you mean by this, do you want him to take you down?" Jin Facai answered: "If you want to go, I'll go and see it too, anyway, I'm not afraid of poison, right, Zang Daguan, do you want to go together?" β
As soon as I wanted to agree, I heard Company Commander Wang say, "I'll go too!" They are all soldiers of our company, and as many of them come out, they will go back, and not one of them can be lost. β
As soon as Company Commander Wang spoke, several other soldiers naturally didn't care about life or death, and rushed to go into the water, Company Commander Wang tried his best to stop it at first, but then even Ah Zi, Ah Hu and Ah Leopard all expressed their willingness to go down, he was no longer stubborn: "Okay, since you all want to go down, I won't stop you, but there is one sentence I can make clear, if there is a danger at that time, you don't care about saving others, you can escape if you can, you can escape if you can, in this unfamiliar environment, you can't be emotional, self-help first, understand?" β
Company Commander Wang seemed to be telling us, I know that this is actually an explanation to his soldiers, but this kind of argument of running for one's life is not in line with the rules of the army, so it needs to be expressed through us outsiders.
"Xiao Liu has just recovered, don't go down, Xiao Zhang is the worst watery, and he will stay, just take care of Xiao Liu, if we haven't come out after 24 hours...... You guys...... Let's go back to the company headquarters and report. β
The two little soldiers were still arguing about something, but they were said by Company Commander Wang: "Obey the order!" And he said no more.
It was almost dusk, and in the round sky surrounded by the mountain wall overhead, a few red clouds under the glow occasionally floated, everyone was preparing for their own launch, eating some dry food, tents, rifles and other things were temporarily put on the shore, leaving Xiao Liu and another soldier to take care of.
Each person only carried a backpack wrapped tightly in a waterproof bag and a searchlight on his head, and prepared to enter the water.
Tie Dan was the first to lead the way, followed by Li Youwu, Wang Company Commander and them, followed by Ah Zi and the Tiger and Leopard brothers, and me and Jin Fa Cai Palace.
Before going into the water, Li Youwu took out the small half bottle of peacock blood, and made everyone have some on the tip of their tongues, except for me and Jin Facai, as well as himself.
Everyone felt the ropes and entered the water one by one, and when I finally went down into the water, the people in front of me had already gone down to the middle of the pool, and I and Jin Facai dived side by side.
To be honest, this pool of water is not much different from the water in other places, and the water near the shore is not much of a problem, but after swimming out for a meter or two, I found that I could not make the strength to float, but I could not feel any obvious whirlpool undercurrent, as if the water had lost its physical properties, and became an object that could feel that it was water but not water.
In front of us, is the back of the tiger and leopard brothers, and the faint figure of Ah Zi in front of us, all of them are sinking forward and downward, if there is a camera on the side, I guess everyone's trajectory is connected, and now it should be a straight line that slopes down at a 45-degree angle, and the other end of this line is the mysterious entrance we are looking for.
After about a minute, I seemed to see a faint light at the bottom of the water not far in front of me, and because I was holding my breath tightly, I didn't think much about it, but just swam towards the companions who were gradually gathering in front of me, not so much swimming at this time, but rather attracted by an indescribable force, because in the process of not paddling, I could clearly feel that my body was moving involuntarily in a certain direction.
I was patted on the shoulder by the blonde a few times, I saw that he was waving to me and gesturing something, following his gesture, it seemed like asking me to dive underwater, after the gesture, he bowed down, and drilled down, I don't know his intentions, but in the first few cooperations, I think he felt good at the critical time, so I trusted his instincts, and also bowed, diving down.
Seeing that the team in front of me was still moving forward, and we were already approaching the bottom of the pool, suddenly a center of gravity sank, like a free fall, and fell down all of a sudden, before I could react, I saw that Jin Facai had stepped forward and took my hand, and said, "Go, catch up with them." β
I suddenly felt like I was dreaming, this is underwater, Jin Facai was talking just now? But when I looked at myself again, it was clear that there was no water around us, and we were actually stepping on the bottom of the pool, but the height below 2 meters above the ground was ...... But the water that was still faintly flowing towards the middle of the poolβthe water that flowed above me like the sky! The soles of my feet were a dry, dark green riverbed of gravel.
"This ...... What's going on? I grabbed him and asked, "Where are we?" β
"I don't know where this is." Jin Facai replied as he walked forward: "I just suddenly have this feeling that I can come down, this feeling is very familiar, but I can't think of it for a while, let's catch up with them first." β
With that, he pointed to the current in front of us overhead, and I saw that the others were still swimming forward on it.
I was a little dazed for a moment, but I didn't think much about it in front of me, so I continued to run forward with Jin Facai, and the sound of crackling and trampling of gravel under my feet sounded a strange echo in this space surrounded by water curtains.
After not many steps, I found that the water above my head was getting closer and closer to me, and this assumption immediately appeared in my mind - if the cross-section of the whole waterhole is a rectangle, then the cross-section of the water in this pool is a trumpet shape, and this pool is the mouth of the horn, and the trumpet mouth at the bottom is precisely the center of the pool, that is, the entrance at which all the water flows are attracted past.
And at this time, we are walking in the space vacated by the trumpets and rectangles, and the more we go to the center, the smaller the space above our heads, and eventually we will walk into the mouth of the water and join them.
As I expected, as the water in front of me became lower and lower, I felt like I was standing in front of the curtain wall of the aquarium, and the place that I saw before emitted white light was the final landing point of this water curtain.
I looked in through the curtain of water and saw the Iron Eggs approaching here, and I waved at them, but they apparently didn't see me and Kim Fa Choi - even if we had a searchlight over our heads, it didn't catch their attention.
Jin Facai said on the side: "Look, isn't it that grove!?" β
I followed his eyes, and I saw that there was indeed a hazy light at the bottom of the pool across the water curtain, and I could vaguely see some tree shadows shaking, as if it was a large 3D screen spread out at the bottom of the pool, and the scene inside and my position were tilted about 90 degrees, as if two completely different gravitational directions of space met in the same section.
If it weren't for the sudden feeling of Jin Fa Cai, which allowed us to look at the bottom of the pool from another angle through the water curtain, no one would have been able to believe what was happening in front of us.
Of course, there are special people who will be exceptional, such as Lee Yoo-go.
He was holding his nose with one hand and beckoning in our direction with the other, this gesture was quite secretive, just blocking his chest, and the others must have been completely attracted by the big screen, and only he, turned his head sideways, looked in our direction, and made this slight beckoning.
"Huh? This kid is really not ordinary, and he actually saw us. Jin Facai said as he waved his hand.
And in this wave of the hand, several of them skipped in front of us, and were sucked in by the big screen, and they couldn't see where they were going.
"Fatty, what do we do now, rush in?" I asked, though I had decided to break in and find out.
"Listen to you." He stroked the wet golden retriever on top of his head and glanced at the big screen.
"Okay, let's go, we are all ancestral spirits, ancestor bless!"
"Wait!"
"What, scared?"
He didn't reply, turned around and took a few steps to pee, and when he ran back, he bent down again, picked up a few gravels under his feet and put them in his pocket, and said with a smile:
"I've probably come to this kind of ghost place once in my life, so I have to leave a souvenir of my visit."
