Chapter 84: Diving into the Pool
The cheap immediately chimed in and said, "That's right! I don't think Bai Xiaowu's kid is so bold, he will risk being attacked by monsters to sneak in from the water? Unless he didn't even know there were monsters in the waterhole, or like my brother said, he found some other entrance to the cave. ”
When we said this, Seabeard also felt that it was not unreasonable, and he said, "Since this is the case, then let's look around and see if there are any other entrances." ”
As soon as everyone stood up, Wen Qingshan stopped everyone, he stared at the waterfall seven or eight meters wide, and said, "Don't look for it, I think Bai Xiaowu should have dived into the ** rock from the water." ”
"No, isn't he afraid of the monsters in the water?" I asked rhetorically.
Wen Qingshan pointed his hand towards the waterfall and said, "That's because he used the waterfall as a cover!" ”
"Using the waterfall as cover? What kind of cover? "I'm completely confused.
Wen Qingshan said: "Due to the poor underwater vision, most of the predators in the water determine the direction of the prey according to the vibration of the water ripples, and the huge impact force formed by the waterfall will affect their ability to sense the vibration of the water ripples, and the water flow below the waterfall is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging, so generally speaking, the predators in the water will not attack the prey directly below the waterfall." ”
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, Huang Yixian was slightly stunned and said, "Boss Wen, do you mean that we can enter the water directly from the waterfall and then dive into the ** rock?" ”
Wen Qingshan nodded.
His analysis sounded plausible, but everyone was still worried, after all, what was hidden in the water was still unclear, and it was not clear whether it was reasonable to infer it with common sense. What's more, getting into the water from the waterfall is not an easy task, despite the fact that the waterfall is only a few meters high, but the impact is definitely not small. Even if it is a water-based return, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Huang Yixian expressed his worries.
After thinking for a while, Seabeard raised his head and said, "In this case, let me go down and have a look first!" ”
"Brother Hai, are you going to go down from the waterfall? It's too dangerous! Huang Yixian said worriedly.
Seabeard said, "Don't worry, I'm trained in this area!" Later, I'll tie a rope to my body, and if I get into the cave, I'll pull the rope a few times, and then I'll hold the rope in place, and you guys will swim in along the rope. By the way, your backpack can be fastened to the rope with a slip buckle and pushed forward underwater, which will be much easier. ”
Wen Qingshan heard this, and immediately nodded: "This is a good way!" ”
"What if you encounter a water monster?" Cheap blurted out.
Seabeard took out a pistol with a strange shape and a large caliber from his backpack, raised it in his hand, and said, "I still have this thing, if I really run into a water monster, I will fight with it!" ”
I asked curiously, "What kind of gun is this?" ”
Seabeard replied, "It's a flare gun, it can shoot underwater, and you don't underestimate its power, it can kill a wild boar at close range!" ”
Wen Qingshan looked at the flare gun in Haibeard's hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, I don't feel at ease to let you go in alone, Brother Hai, so let's go in with you, so I can take care of it." ”
"Boss Wen, are you also professionally trained in this area?" Huang Yixian asked.
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "I know a little bit about it." ”
Now that I understand, he said "I know a little bit about it", which basically means that he is quite proficient.
The matter was decided, and we packed up the equipment and walked around the waterfall from the side of the pool.
Seabeard opened his backpack, took out a bundle of professional hiking ropes made of nylon fiber, and tied one end to his waist very quickly, and the other end was tied to a thick tree trunk next to the waterhole, and then he and Wen Qingshan changed into wetsuits and oxygen masks, and the two carefully dived into the waterhole from the side of the waterfall.
As the minutes ticked by, there was no movement under the water, and I wondered if they might run into a terrifying man-eating monster in the water.
After a few minutes, suddenly the rope that was tied to Seabeard's body was straightened, and a liliang could be felt to pull three times.
This is our agreed haode signal, indicating that the two of them have successfully entered the ** rock.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it seemed that this was indeed a way to avoid the water monster.
Huang Yixian immediately ordered: "They have arrived, let's go into the water too." ”
A few of us hurriedly got busy, we buckled the waterproof backpack on the rope that was straightened with a sliding buckle, then changed into a diving suit, and put on an oxygen mask, and prepared to go into the water, but at this time the fat man said on the side: "Old ...... Boss, I'm ...... I'm not ...... water-based Not so good, I ...... I'm a little scared ......."
Hearing him say this, I suddenly remembered, this guy is not good at water, he can't swim at all! In the past, I led the cheap to swim in the river secretly, and every time this guy went with us, he basically helped us look at the clothes, and it seems that this time is no exception.
I said helplessly: "Fat cow, I think you are still waiting for us outside!" ”
"What! I...... I'm waiting for you guys outside? The fat man looked around and couldn't help but shudder.
This kid was born with rat gall, and now that he is left alone in this barren mountain and wilderness, he will inevitably feel afraid. But it can't be helped, who told him that he can't swim, if it's a calm pool, it's okay to say, the key is a waterfall.
I had to comfort him and say, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen in broad daylight!" ”
"That'...... Then you guys come out early. ”
I nodded, and suddenly thought of it again, and told him, "By the way, don't get too close to this waterhole, stay away." ”
The fat man naturally understood what I meant, and he was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, and there happened to be a big tree with a crooked neck next to him, and he simply climbed onto the thick trunk and lay on his stomach.
Seeing this, he smiled and teased: "Don't fall asleep again, you kid, if you fall off the tree and fall directly into the pool, it will be bad." ”
The fat cow's face was slightly red, and he stammered, "I...... I won't sleep! You...... Go and remember...... Be sure to come out early. ”
I looked up, the trunk of the fat cow was four or five meters high from the ground, if this really fell, even if it didn't fall into the pool, it was estimated that he would fall half to death, the key is that this guy can sleep anywhere, I was a little uneasy, and I wanted to call him down. Huang Yixian said: "It is said that there are wild boars and other wild beasts in this mountain, and it is not bad to stay on the trunk of the tree!" However, you'd better use a rope to hold your body in place. ”
When the fat cow heard this, he smiled and said, "Hehe, it's still ...... Or Master Huang has a way! He immediately took out a bundle of rope from his backpack, and in a few moments he was firmly attached to the trunk of the tree.
Looking at it like this, Niu Fat Man should be very safe, and I told him a few words like "pay attention to safety", and under the leadership of Huang Yixian, from the position where Wen Qingshan and Hai Huzi had just entered the water, one person dragged a backpack and dived into the pool.
Since I had no experience in entering the water from the waterfall, the moment I entered the water, I immediately felt a strong impact of Xiangxia, and my body almost sank, but fortunately, my hand kept firmly pulling the rope, so there was no accident. I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly swam along the rope to the inner side of the waterfall, but I immediately felt a buoyancy of xiangshang.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that the impact of the water flow directly below the waterfall formed a xiangxia sinking force, and the two sides of the waterfall formed a xiangshang buoyancy due to the rising water flow. I really didn't expect the situation under this waterfall to be so complicated, and I couldn't help but secretly say: "Fortunately, the fat cow didn't go into the water with a piece." ”
I tugged at the rope and strained my way down, until I swam into a hole about three meters in diameter, and the current finally eased a lot.
I used the waterproof miner's lamp on my head to look forward, the water was a little muddy, and I couldn't see too far, I could only see two or three meters in front of me, a pair of cheap feet were paddling rhythmically.
From time to time, there was a strange "cooing" sound in the water, which seemed to be the sound of bubbles bulging from the bottom of the water, which made my heart feel a little hairy. From time to time, I turned my head to look, lest something was following us.
Sometimes, the fear infinitely magnifies our imagination of the unknown, and knowing that there might be some kind of ferocious water monster in this pool, I can't help but have a terrifying scene in my mind: a bloody mouth suddenly appeared next to me, and I was swallowed up in an instant.
The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became.
It was already very cold underwater, and my nerves were tense all the time, and suddenly, I felt a pain in my left calf muscle.
I couldn't help but be shocked: "It's not good, it's cramps!" ”
Leg cramps while swimming are a dangerous thing, and it is said that people who are familiar with water drowning while swimming are up to 70% due to leg cramps.
I couldn't help but panic in my heart, and instinctively swam forward desperately to swim out of the water as soon as possible, but in this way, the leg cramps were even worse, and my left calf could barely move, as long as I moved a little, it was a sharp pain.
I took a few deep breaths of oxygen to ease the tension a little, then grabbed the rope with one hand, stopped in the water, and then gently kneaded the cramping area of my left calf with the other hand to relax the calf muscles as much as possible.
