Chapter 48

Escape

A dark mass obscured most of the day, making the already dim bottom of the lake even less visible. It's just that this thing is very big, surprisingly big, I don't know what it is.

Fang Xin and the three of them looked up for a long time, but they didn't see a reason. Fortunately, the silent bottom of the lake is not completely covered, and there is still a little light. You can vaguely see the silhouette of each person.

It's just strange that the behemoth is like a ghost, and all of a sudden it is over its head. It came silently, as if it had traveled through time and space, and suddenly appeared.

A group of women in the main hall also didn't care about the pile of bones in the sand pit, and left the hall one after another to come out to see the excitement.

At the bottom of the quiet lake, except for a few of them, I really can't believe that there will be others. Therefore, they all want to know the Tao of the Devil, to find out who and what it is.

Fang Xin didn't pay attention to the behemoth above his head, he focused his gaze on the petite shadow at the top of the tower. To be honest, he didn't believe that Xiaolian would be here. Because he really can't figure out why Xiaoxue came here. Is it to accompany him and wait for death? This is absolutely impossible, even if Xiaolian is a person with a dual personality, she will not be stupid enough to come down and send her to death.

So, who will this person in front of you be?

Fang Xin was thinking about it, when he saw the shadow jump up slightly, like a black butterfly, falling towards the Lu and floating towards Fang Xin.

This kind of bold and exaggerated move has only been seen by Fang Xin in movies. Now it seems that his conjecture has been further confirmed. He has seen Xiaolian's skills, and he will never stump her on this point.

The black butterfly fluttered down in front of Fang Xin and the others, and stood firmly.

After receiving the Flying Tiger Melon, Xiaolian stood in front of them with a smile and said, "It turns out that you are not dead yet, it's a pity."

Fang Xin was overjoyed, and at this time, he didn't know whether Lu Dao should be happy or sad for Xiaolian. Xiaolian's words just now didn't make him angry, he was thinking about the purpose of Xiaolian's visit. Looking at this, she didn't seem to be worried that she was going to be trapped here. There was no trace of turbulence on her face, and she was very calm.

But see Xiaolian, dressed in a black tight wetsuit. set off her curvaceous figure even more slender. The uneven and orderly lines roamed over her body. The original delicate body is even more charming.

I saw Xiaolian shake her wet long hair and look at everyone charmingly. With a sweet, girly smile on her face. I just don't know how much of this smile is sincere.

Fang Xin knew that Xiaolian was very beautiful, so he was unmoved. Taking a step forward, he asked, 'Xiaolian, why are you here?' How did you get here?'

Xiaolian twisted her waist, put on a charming posture, and said with a smile on her face: "What am I here for, hehe, I will collect the corpse for you!" However, what I didn't expect was that you didn't die, which is a troublesome thing for me.'

When Ruan Xiaotian heard this, he was not happy. He stepped forward and said, 'Damn, you little girl, you're here to see our jokes!'

All that answered him was Xiaolian's burst of laughter.

Fang Xinzhi said, this is definitely not Xiaolian's original intention. If she can go down to the bottom of the lake, she must have come to save them. However, how can a yellow-haired girl who has not grown up save a group of them.

Of course, Fang Xin has seen Xiaolian's ability, which is definitely very human. But this is after all at the bottom of an unfathomable lake, surrounded by powerful whirlpools. Xiaolian alone, how could she save them.

At this time, Fang Xin was silent, with no expression on his face. Xiaoxue is almost resting, and her body is basically recovering. Looking at the domineering Xiaolian in front of her, she asked, 'Who asked you to come?'

Among this group of people, if you want to understand Xiaolian, in addition to Fang Xin, it is also Xiaoxue. After all, she and Xiaolian's sister Xiaolan used to be the best classmates and partners.

Xiaolian was still a little arrogant, and she didn't even look at Xiaoxue. Then I saw her say, 'You're very smart, Sister Xiaoxue. It's none of my business whether you live or die, it's just that someone is preoccupied with you, so they sent me down to see if you're still alive. It's just a matter of dying, saving me a lot of effort. If you live, I'll get you up. I have to have an explanation. Unexpectedly, your lives are really hard, and you are all alive.'

I heard the meaning of Xiaolian's words, that is, someone instructed her to come. Shen Kuo was also excited when he heard this, and he said, 'Who is that person?'

Liu Ting on the side said a little timidly: 'Cousin, it won't be that Guo Xudong!'

'It won't be him.' Shen Kuo said with certainty, 'His brain is not broken, there is no reason to send someone to rescue us after getting us into the lake. Besides, how could he know that we are all alive.'

Fang Xin also said: "Moreover, I believe that Xiaolian, she is still kind in her bones, and she will not be in the same stream with people like Guo Xudong."

'Who could that be?' Hu Jie also raised her questions.

Just when everyone was talking, Xiaolian pouted and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to guess. After you go up, you will know the way.'

'Damn, you little girl, can you really get us up?' Ruan Xiaotian still looked incredulous, and looked at Xiaolian with disdain.

Xiaolian was not angry, she took out some things from the backpack behind her and threw them to everyone one by one. Only then did Fang Xin notice that there was still a big backpack behind Xiaolian, and he didn't know what was in the road, bulging.

didn't see what was thrown over, Ruan Xiaotian hurriedly caught it. When I looked down, it was a water bottle-shaped thing. It's round, it's black, and there's a round opening.

Ruan Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what it was. He shook it as if it contained something, and asked, 'Holy, what is it?'

At this time, Xiaolian had already distributed this item to everyone. Then she said, 'It's rare and weird, it's a portable oxygen cylinder. The oxygen in it will last you about an hour. Leaving the bottom of the lake, I think it should be absolutely enough. Mind you, the most dangerous place is not here, but that vortex. It's a miracle that you've survived that whirlpool. Don't think that with an oxygen cylinder, everything is fine. Whether or not you can get out of the river depends on your own creation.'

Ruan Xiaotian hugged the oxygen cylinder and said expressionlessly: "Damn, am I dreaming, it's real.'

Xiaolian took out something from her backpack as if she had made all the equipment, and threw it to everyone. And then she said, 'This is a glow stick, you can put it on your wrist. In this way, in the dark waters, wherever you slip away, you will be discovered.'

Xiaoxue took the glow stick and patted it lightly on her wrist. The small glow stick was immediately like a bracelet, put on Xiaoxue's wrist, and emitted a faint blue light, which was instantly beautiful.

Now, they all believe that Xiaolian has come to save them. But the question comes again, Taihu Lake is so deep, how do they get out, and what method do they use to get out?

Everyone's eyes moved to Xiaolian, hoping that she could give a happy word. It's really uncomfortable to lose your appetite like this. But Xiaolian just doesn't say it, she hates it very much.

After being silent for a while, Xiaolian suddenly remembered something, oh, and took something out of her backpack. Fang Xin took a look, and it turned out to be a sub-diving goggle.

I didn't expect Xiaolian to be so young, she was thoughtful, and even the diving goggles were accurate.

Fang Xin thought for a moment, and finally asked, "What I want to know is how you plan to take us out of Lu. Taihu Lake is dozens of meters deep, so are you planning to let us fly out?"

Xiaolian chuckled, covered her mouth and said, "Brother, you're really joking. Can you fly?'

Looking at Xiaolian's appearance at this time, it is a bit like what she should have at her age, the appearance of a little girl. Could it be that it is really caused by a dual personality, a strong queen for a while, and a reserved little girl for a while.

Fang Xin couldn't help but sigh, how could a little girl who was so good become like this.

I saw Xiaolian pointing to the top of her head, smiling and saying, "Brother, you can't fly. So, we've got to rely on it.' A look of confidence.

Not only Fang Xin, but everyone present followed Xiaolian's hand and looked up. But there was nothing but a black patch overhead.

Fang Xinzheng stared at Xiaolian with a puzzled gaze, but saw Xiaolian say slowly: "Okay everyone, since you are all alive and have no braids. Then I'll work hard to get you out of the woods. Now, all you have to do is to hurry back to the top of the tower and get out of there.'

Everyone still looked at each other, they didn't believe that such a little yellow-haired girl could take so many of them away from the bottom of the deep lake. Although Fang Xin knew Xiaolian's skills, he didn't believe it.

Seeing that they didn't move, they were still standing stupidly. Xiaolian was also a little impatient, and her face suddenly turned cold. She said, 'It's going to get dark outside, and if you don't move, it'll be difficult when it's dark.' Unless you don't want to go out, that's a different story.'

Everyone looked at it, and Shen Kuo was the first to move. He walked ahead and said, 'Whether it's true or not, listen to her. She has the guts to come down, maybe there is a way to take us out. There's no way to wait here, go up and see how she takes us out.'

'Cousin, wait for me!' Liu Ting, who was behind, followed with a smoke.

Fang Xin glanced at Xiao Xue beside him, and said expressionlessly, "I believe in her!" It seems to say to myself and me, and it seems to say to Xiaoxue. Xiao Xue just nodded, followed Fang Xin without saying a word, and also walked into the main hall.

The rest of Ruan Xiaotian, seeing that the four of them had entered, reluctantly said, "Damn, what is this called. A group of adults actually have to obey the orders of a little girl.'

Du Zijuan, who was behind, patted Ruan Xiaotian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, uncle!"

Looking back, he was the only one left in this dead man's pit. Quickly pull out his legs and catch up with the crowd: 'Damn, you wait for me!'

Xiaolian stood on top of the sand pit and watched the group finally enter the main hall with a girlish smile on her face. With a flick of his hand, the tiger's claws flew into the air and firmly grasped a certain part of the roof. Seeing that she didn't move much, her petite body slowly left the ground.

It doesn't take long to reach the roof. As soon as the flying tiger's claws were retracted, and with one hand, the person flew and jumped on the roof. Xiaolian didn't delay, quickly found the hole in the roof, threw down a rope, and waited for Fang Xin and them there.

After Fang Xin and the others entered the main hall, they did not delay, and went all the way up, straight towards the top of the tower.

Ruan Xiaotian was still grinding, only to see him say: 'Damn, you guys...... You really believe the words of a little girl. I don't believe she's going to take a group of us out of the city.'

No one paid attention to him, only Du Zijuan, who was following him, patted him on the shoulder and said tepidly: 'Then you say, we don't believe him, do we believe you?'

The sentence "I rely on ......" suffocated Ruan Xiaotian's stomach full of dissatisfaction.

I was speechless all the way, and I didn't run into those elusive dried corpses. The group successfully arrived at the top of the sacrificial tower, although they were a little surprised, but it seemed to be reasonable. And they said nothing.

I'm worried, although it's not very high from the roof. It's easy to get down, but it's hard to go up.

Suddenly I heard someone scream: 'Look, there's rope here.' The people turned back, but sure enough, a rope hung down and hung on the roof.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw a small head poking out of the hole in the roof, and showed an extremely bright, girlish smile to the people below. This person is none other than Xiaolian, who has been waiting on the roof early in the morning.

When Xiaolian saw that they had all arrived, she smiled and said, 'Hey! Brothers and sisters, climb up from this rope! We're running out of time, the sun is going down, so you need to hurry.'

Ruan Xiaotian took a step forward, pinched the rope that was the thickness of his thumb, looked up at Xiaolian and said, "Damn, this is how you took us out of the city?" I'll just say, you shouldn't believe a little girl's film.'

Just as he was feeling it, Fang Xin pushed him away and said to everyone: 'I'll go up first, Shen Kuo, and Ruan Xiaotian, you two will break off.' As he spoke, Fang Xin grabbed the rope and crawled out of the hole little by little.

Shen Kuo understood what Fang Xin meant, although the top floor was not high, it was only two or three meters. For the three of them, hold on, and they can still go up. But for five petite girls, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Therefore, Fang Xin went up first, and the bottom and the top contributed at the same time, so it would not be a big problem.

After about ten minutes of tossing and turning, all eight people finally climbed to the top of the tower. The girls were fine, but the three men were already tired and out of breath, so they had to sit dryly and not say a word.

Xiaolian seemed to understand everything, and when everyone came up, she didn't answer, just sat aside and waited quietly. The eyes are full of indifference, but they are concerned about them.

After taking a breath, Fang Xin asked Xiaolian, "Xiaolian, now we are all up. This time, you can tell us how you got us out, right?'

Xiao Lian smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry! If I say I can take you out of the city, I will be able to take you out of the city.' As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to reply, and blew a loud whistle at the top of his head.

At first, they didn't feel anything, because they didn't know the purpose of Xiaolian's whistle, and just waited quietly.

Before he could wait two seconds, Fang Xin immediately felt that something was changing. When I looked up, the behemoth hanging above me was getting bigger and bigger. To be precise, it's going down. The glimmer of light that was still there was completely obscured as the behemoth landed. Only the fluorescent bracelet they had just put on on their hands emitted a faint glow.

No one knew what that behemoth was, until it fell on top of their heads and could be touched by his hand, Fang Xin suddenly came to his senses. He pointed to the behemoth and asked Xiaolian in surprise: 'That, that's not ......'

Xiaolian curled her mouth, showed a cute smile and said, "That's right, it's the old turtle that you rescued last time. As a thank you guys, I called it over to help.'

'You...... You call it over...... Help?' Fang Xin began to stutter, he couldn't believe that this big guy would actually listen to Xiaolian, a little girl.

'That's right!' Xiaolian smiled nonchalantly, "It's my pet, of course listen to me."

As soon as these words came out, thunder fell on everyone present. If you want to say that you have a cat or a dog, you are not in a good situation, and if you raise a snake or a lizard, some people still believe it. Xiaolian actually said that a thousand-year-old turtle the size of half a playground was her pet, which really scared Fang Xin and them.

Ruan Xiaotian jumped up, pointed to the thousand-year-old turtle hanging above his head and said, "Damn, isn't it!" Little girl, aren't you going to be Brother Meng! You're so weird.'

Xiaolian still smiled and said, "If it weren't for it, how would I have come down safely.'" As she spoke, she took out a long rope from her backpack.

At this point, even if Fang Xin didn't believe it, he had to believe it. He asked, 'How are you going to get us out of the city?'

The professional mountaineering rope is also connected to the lock, although this East and West have not been contacted, but they have also seen it on TV, and they know what the road is for.

Xiaolian gave the mountain sash to the crowd and then said, 'Everyone tie their belts as I do, and there are buckles on them. All you have to do is lock the lock on this climbing rope and my pet will take you out of the rope. Just remember that it's more dangerous when going through the vortex. If something happens to one person, everyone is doomed.'

This is true, Fang Xin understands this principle. All people's lives are tied to a rope, and there are good and bad things to doing so. This reason doesn't need to be explained in detail by Xiaolian, everyone understands it in their hearts.

After doing everything, Xiaolian tied the climbing rope firmly to the turtle shell. The thousand-year-old turtle is huge, and the shell is naturally thick and hard.

It may be that Xiaolian made full preparations before coming. Or maybe it's like this on the shell. Fang Xin took a look, at the edge of the turtle shell, there was a row of small holes of equal size, which could be used to tie the hiking rope and fasten the lock.

After all the preparations were done, Xiaolian said loudly to everyone, "Brothers and sisters, are you ready?" Put on your goggles and oxygen tanks, and we're off to go.'

According to Xiaolian's instructions, everyone buckled the lock on the belt to the small orifice of the turtle shell. At the same time, there is also a lock attached to the climbing rope, which ties the fate of everyone together. If nothing else, it's still very exciting to swim in the water with such a thing.

Ruan Xiaotian shrank under the turtle shell with some worry, the thousand-year-old turtle is too big, and people hide under the turtle shell, similar to an ant.

Ruan Xiaotian trembled and said, "Damn, this ...... Is this okay?'

Hu Jie, who was behind him, pushed him and made an OK gesture. It means to tell him that she is not afraid of a girl, and what are you afraid of as a big man.

Fang Xin's arrangement was that he still took the lead, Ruan Xiaotian was in the center, Shen Kuo was broken, and the five girls were sandwiched in the middle. In this way, even if there is an accident, it is good to have a response.

In this way, under Xiaolian's arrangement, the group hid under the huge turtle shell. Prepare for the test that the vortex will put them to the test.

Not to mention, such a thick and hard turtle shell may be the nemesis of the vortex. Fang Xin was still a little hesitant and timid at first. After hiding inside, his worries were swept away.

After a sharp whistle, I heard Xiaolian yell, 'We're leaving!'

Suddenly, Fang Xin clearly felt that the turtle began to move and began to float. Gradually, one of his feet left the roof and was free.

Fang Xin was full of feelings, and he couldn't imagine that his life would be saved by a turtle. Say it, who can believe it?

In fact, hiding under the turtle shell, except for a small area under his feet, everything around him is blocked by the turtle shell, and he can't see it.

It's okay not to be able to see, though. As long as you can get out of the way, see it or not, what can you do? And don't take the helm yourself.

Although the thousand-year-old turtle is clumsy, it is very agile. After a while, it was close to the vortex. At this time, I saw the vortex again, and it was much bigger than when they came down. It seems that the vortex is still growing, and I don't know when it will be a head.

Xiaolian's shrill roar came from his ears again: "It's time to enter the whirlpool, everyone hurry up, be careful, don't be abducted by the whirlpool."

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly felt that the water around me was a lot faster. And there is a growing trend. If it weren't for Xiaolian's reminder in advance, everyone would have been caught off guard.

A few seconds later, the thousand-year-old turtle and a group of people and others completely disappeared into the whirlpool. At this time, if there is really some danger, the reminder will definitely not be possible. If it weren't for Xiaolian's preparation in advance and carrying a portable oxygen cylinder, it would have been difficult for them to even breathe, let alone break through the whirlpool and land safely.

Suddenly, the mountaineering rope around the waist was also tightened, and its strength was far more comparable than that of people. In addition, Fang Xin's hands were also tightly grasping the turtle shell, and they would not let go.

It was pitch black in front of them, and even though they were wearing diving goggles, the strong current still made it difficult for them to open their eyes. The water flowed like a knife across each of their bodies. It hurts everywhere on their bodies.

The water is mild, but it is also extremely scary to flare up. For example, now, although they have made all the preparations, there will be accidents if they are not in order.

The force of the water grew stronger and stronger, and it roared around them. Fang Xin felt more and more that he couldn't support it anymore, and the hand holding the turtle shell gradually lost consciousness and began to go numb.

If you're like this, how good will those girls be?

Fang Xin worked hard, and with the most powerful strength, he turned back. He wanted to see what was going on, but unfortunately in the dark whirlpool, he couldn't see anything. Behind him, the closest to him, Jingzhi's face was invisible, let alone the others.

Fortunately, Xiaolian is still quite thoughtful. Although I can't see anyone, I can see the fluorescent bracelets on everyone's wrists, floating in the vortex, glowing with a faint light.

Fang Xin counted it, seven, one no more, no less. This made Fang Xin's heart relax a lot, although he could also see clearly that these people had already taken off their hands and were only led by a mountaineering rope. He only hopes that the quality of this life-saving mountaineering rope can be better and that it will last until they come out of the whirlpool.

In the end, Fang Xin didn't last long, and his hand finally broke away from the turtle shell. Now it's really just a mountain rope that keeps them alive.

The fluorescent bracelet dangled in the dark vortex, making Fang Xin dizzy. I don't know when this pain will end. Fang Xin only wanted to get out of the clutches of the vortex as soon as possible and return to the ground.

At a glance, I saw that the fluorescent bracelet behind the most beautiful one suddenly detached from its original position and disappeared into the endless darkness. Fang Xin was taken aback, and he immediately remembered that the last one in the list was not Shen Kuo.

I am anxious, bitter and have no good solution. It was difficult to do it, and he could only watch Shen Kuo being swallowed by the darkness. And there is nothing I can do about it, there is no way at all.

But at this moment, another fluorescent bracelet appeared out of nowhere. The speed was extremely fast, and he rushed straight towards the direction where Shen Kuo disappeared.

Fang Xin didn't know what to do, the person who suddenly appeared was not someone else, it was Xiaolian with a unique skill.

Actually, they didn't notice that Xiaolian wasn't with them. But I have been paying attention to the every move of these people, for fear that there will be accidents.

Sure enough, when she saw someone being swept away by the whirlpool, she jumped up without hesitation and rushed straight into the black whirlpool.

Speaking of which, Xiaolian is not a bump. She is very confident in all her actions. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to death.

But before seeing Xiaolian's petite figure rushing into the darkness, her left hand was raised, and the flying tiger claw instantly coiled one of the old turtle's hind feet, and her whole person rushed straight down like an arrow from the string. No one can do this without a little courage, without a little courage.

Fang Xin's head was about to explode when he was entangled in the vortex at this time, he never thought that it would be so difficult to break out of this deadly vortex.

But fortunately, after just over two minutes of life and death struggle, they finally got rid of the entanglement of the vortex. It didn't take long for it to surface, and I could breathe the air normally that I hadn't seen for a long time.

The group was floating on the surface of the lake, and the old turtle was gone. Fang Xin looked around, only to realize that they were still very far from the shore. Familiar resorts, as far away as shadows.

Just as everyone was struggling to swim back to the shore alive, a speedboat suddenly appeared beside them and stopped around them steadily.

Fang Xin took a look, the one who drove the speedboat was actually a young girl. The age is similar to Xiaolian, almost a few years old. I saw that the girl had clear eyebrows, stared at a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and combed a long ponytail, and was beautiful and lovely in a moment.

Dressed in a black tight-fitting jumpsuit, he showed his wonderful figure to the fullest. Seeing that Fang Xindu was almost dumbfounded, soaked in the water, he couldn't move.

Until the girl came to him, stretched out a pair of delicate little hands, smiled sweetly at him, and said, 'Come up, I didn't think you were really alive.'

Fang Xin woke up from his dazed thoughts, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Oh, no need, I'll come up myself." As he spoke, he put his hands on the side of the boat and flipped onto the speedboat.

The girl didn't say anything, just smiled, and then reached out to pick up Hu Jie, who swam over.

Ruan Xiaotian in the back saw it, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he swam desperately towards the speedboat. While swimming, he said: 'Damn, good sister, come and give Brother a hand, Brother is dying.'

The good sister in his mouth at this time is of course not referring to Xiaoxue and them, but to the beautiful girl on the speedboat. Therefore, retribution cannot be avoided.

But seeing that Ruan Xiaotian had just finished drinking, he was slammed into the water by Xiaoxue, who swam from behind. By the time he surfaced again, his lungs had already been filled with several mouthfuls of water.

Ruan Xiaotian pointed to Xiao Xue, who was pulled onto the speedboat by Fang Xin, and said, "Damn, you ...... You...... You...... You murdered your brother!'

Xiaoxue only replied coldly with two words: 'You deserve it!'

After the group had all climbed into the speedboat, the girl asked, 'Where is Xiaolian?' Why don't you see her?'

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, they were blindly busy running for their lives just now, and they forgot Xiaolian and Shen Kuo cleanly. Now looking at the lake again, there is no shadow of Xiaolian and Shen Kuo on the calm lake.

Could it be that something really happened to them?

Just when Fang Xin and the others were anxious, a hill suddenly rose on the surface of the lake. I saw that the mountain was getting higher and higher, slowly rising out of the lake. And there are two people standing on the hill, who will it be if it is not Xiaolian and Shen Kuo.

If you look closely, the hill is not the next one, but the shell of the old turtle.

Everyone was very happy to see that Xiaolian and Shen Kuo were safe. But after the two of them got on the boat, Xiaolian hurriedly said, "Bobo, hurry up and start the boat, Brother Jiang Han is about to wait."

It turned out that the beautiful girl's name was Yang Bo. Like Xiaolian, she is also a good hand with unique skills.

It's just that Xiaoxue and Fang Xin couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Xiaolian say this. Xiao Xuehu asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, Jiang Han?"

'Yes, it's your brother. He is the one who told us to save you.' (To be continued......)
