Chapter 28: Fishing
Everyone was determined to go down to the lake to save people, but they couldn't think of a way to deal with the strange fish in the lake for a while.
I searched around and found that there was a recessed space in the mountain wall not far away, which looked like it had been dug out by hand, and I didn't know what it was for.
I gestured to the place and told everyone to go inside and settle down first, and then find a way.
The place was about five or six meters away from us, and everyone took the rope and fell to the entrance of the cave, untied the rope and looked around, and found that this place was not deep, but it was very wide, about three meters high, only more than three meters deep, and the width was about ten meters.
I didn't know if I didn't see it, but when I looked at it, I found that there were still some things scattered around the cave, which were some rusty scrap iron. Although the scrap iron has been corroded badly, it can be vaguely inferred that the original appearance is some hammers, scradles and other things, and the wooden parts have long been damaged, leaving only the iron part.
Seeing this, Wen Min said: "It seems that this is the place where the craftsmen put their equipment, and under this cliff, there must have been some projects." "
Zhong Gong speculated and said, "Could it be that the entrance to the underground palace of the Giant Ear King's tomb is below here?" "
Zhen Rui's thin lips were pursed, he shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's not that easy, the project below may be related to what he said." As he spoke, he gestured to the fat man Li on the side with his eyes.
Li Fatzi's appearance at this moment is unbearable to look at, as if he is a corpse that is about to decay, curled up and hiding in the innermost part at this time, it seems that the farther away from the lake, the more comfortable he is.
I know that the wisdom of the corpse immortal cannot be guessed with common sense, and the entrance to the underground palace is only afraid that it is not so easy to find. The dumb man has Lu Su's information in his hand, if the entrance to the underground palace is really here, why didn't the dumb man come down?
I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I think about it, I am full of doubts, and I suddenly feel that my previous speculation about dumbness may be wrong.
If he really seized Lu Su's information, then he should have known that there would be strange birds in this place, but why didn't the dumb man react? Is it because there is no mention of this in the information, or is there no information in his hand at all? Or...... Did he do it on purpose?
I quickly denied the last suspicion that if the mute wanted to eat alone, or wanted to harm me, he had too many opportunities to do it before he came with him. And now, Zhen Rui has brought men and horses, and the two groups of us can be said to be evenly matched, and now tearing our faces will only hurt both sides. He shouldn't be targeting us.
In that case, there is only one other possibility, and he has no information in his hands.
In this way, another refutation arises: if the dumb man does not have the information in his hands, why is he so familiar with the terrain here?
If a qiΔ is Bai Sanye's sue sΓΉ for him, then what is Bai Sanye's true identity?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a lot of fog, and in the end I could only shake my head and throw these problems aside.
I looked down at the lake, about four or five meters above us, and there were those strange helmeted turtles swimming in the lake, although the number was not as terrifying as it was at the beginning, but occasionally one or two swam by, and looking at their hard heads and sharp teeth, it still made people feel creepy.
Wen Min noticed my gaze, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said, "I have a way, we can give it a try." Before I could ask, she pulled out our food from her bag, took out a few packets of jerky, and said, "Let's go fishing." "
Everyone was a smart person, and they immediately understood the meaning of civilization, and couldn't help but praise her wit.
Zhong Gong said: "Officer Gu's method can be tried, hang it with jerky, attract these fish, and then we will go into the water to save people." "
Wen Min nodded, and said: "Have you noticed that these fish have always been on the surface of the water and rarely dive, they should be shallow water fish, as long as they are lured away, you should be able to avoid them if you dive all the way down." "
Her speculation is very beneficial to us, but whether it is true or not will have to wait for the truth to know. Without further ado, we just did it, and immediately unpacked the jerky, tied it with a rope, and picked it up with a probe drill, and quickly swept it through the water.
This time it really worked, and all the strange fish scattered around gathered towards the dried meat in Wen Min's hand, and jumped out of the water to bite the bait.
Seeing that this method was effective, Wen Min immediately walked to the farthest position from us with the jerky, and similarly, the fish below were also led by her. Due to the high jumping ability of some fish, the control of the probe is very strict throughout the process.
If you hang too high, the fish will give up biting, and if it is too low, it will be easy to be eaten immediately, so the whole process should be very focused. Wen Min didn't look back, looked at the lake, and said, "I'm on top here, you guys go and save people." "
When the matter came to this point, where did we dare to delay, we immediately unloaded our equipment, took only some necessary things, and then went into battle lightly and entered the water to save people.
We quietly entered the water more than ten meters away from the fish, but the water was not as cold as I expected, but warm, and it made people feel a little warm, but it was not as hot as the hot springs, which was strange.
But I didn't think much about it, as soon as the three of them entered the water, they dived down as planned, and some fish in the surrounding area spotted us and immediately attacked fiercely, but as Wen Min said, they should belong to shallow water fish, and after chasing them for a few times, they gave up. Because the light at the bottom of the cliff is obscure, the dive is deep, and the water is dark.
Everyone was only holding their breath, and there was no diving equipment, so they could only fight quickly. We didn't dare to delay, and immediately swam in the direction pointed out by Li Fatzi.
Diving about 20 meters, the water temperature has been in a warm state, the water is pitch black, the only light source is the waterproof flashlight we carry, three pillars of light are waving under the dark water, the visibility in the water is still very low, fortunately, the equipment is more sufficient, in case of accidents, there are four waterproof mirrors, which really came in handy at this time.
We held our breath and swam towards the location of the two tofu, estimating the distance in our hearts, who knows, at this moment, the three of us suddenly saw a little white light flashing under the water in the dark.
The white light was fleeting, but it brightened again for a moment, and then, maintaining that rhythm, began to twinkle and shine, like a star in the darkness.
What's that?
I wondered in my heart, the three of them looked at each other in the water, and then I suddenly realized that the distance we are in now is very close to the location of the tofu and the two people that Li Fatzi indicated.
Immediately, the three of us continued to dive towards the light source, and as the light source got closer and closer, we suddenly saw that this place was close to the outer wall of the lake, and there was a hole at the bottom of the outer wall. This is a rare gossip-shaped entrance, and the white light we have seen before is coming out of it.
At first glance, this hole is artificially made, the corners are very neat, and there are yin and yang carvings around it.
I was worried about the safety of the tofu, and I only held my breath, so I didn't dare to delay too much, so I swam in first, followed by Zhen Rui and Zhong Gong. As soon as I got into the hole, I found its peculiarity, the four walls of the cave were not stones, but a layer of ice-like substance, at this moment, we don't need to use flashlights, these ice-like substances, themselves are emitting a soft light, looking very magnificent.
I was amazed and disappointed in my heart, if this light wasn't made by the tofu, where would the tofu be now?
The cave went all the way up, and after a few swims there were stone steps, but most of them were submerged in the water, and just as the last breath of oxygen in our lungs was about to run out, we finally got out of the water. As soon as I came out of the water, I saw a person squatting at the edge of the water, and it was tofu.
He was looking at us nervously at the moment, with a flashlight next to him, obviously waiting for us for a long time.
Compared with my look of surprise, Tofu was very calm, as if he had expected to see me, and said, "Why did you take so long to come down." β
I was so angry when I heard this, I fucking went into the water to save people, and it was too late to co-author? So he said angrily: "I originally wanted to come down to collect the corpse, but since it is to collect the corpse, of course there is no need to rush." With that, the three of us crawled out of the water.
Of course, we didn't feel the cold, but its structure was very much like an ice cave, and all the qi qi was wrapped in that ice-like substance.
At this time, I also discovered that the white light in this cave was not actually the glow of the substance itself, but the light emitted by the portable wolf eye placed next to the tofu. When the light shines into those substances, they are like lenses, reflecting light layer by layer, and eventually, the whole cave is covered with a layer of white light. I remember that in the Xuanbing Tomb, I also saw a similar structure, and my heart said: Sure enough, it was built by the same person.
I tried to turn off Tofu's wolf eyes, and the surroundings fell into darkness for a moment. When it was turned on again, the light shrouded again.
Tofu asked us how we got out of danger, how happened to those big birds, Zhong Gong told the future situation, and then looked at Tofu's calm appearance, and couldn't help but hiss: "Okay, Brother Dou, why aren't you scared at all?" β
This has to be put on hold in normal times, Tofu is alone in the water, and our life and death are uncertain, he may not know what he will be scared of.
Hearing this, Tofu shrugged his shoulders and said; "What are you afraid of, anyway, I know that Lao Chen and Gu Da Beauty will come to save me."
I don't have a good airway; "What if we die?"
Tofu said: "You are all dead, then I must finish playing, I will kill myself by cutting my wrists, and I am afraid of a ball." β
