Seeing that the team member disappeared silently at the back of the team, Xiao Na's heart was in trouble, should she save him? If you go to the rescue, the team must stop, then the team will encounter the thing in the water in advance, but if you don't go to the rescue, it will really lose the hearts of every member of the team, and it will be difficult to manage this team in the future.

This time, in order to follow behind Chen Ziyang and their team covertly, Xiao Na's team also adopted the method of streamlining personnel, and the people in the team can be said to be a top person with unique skills, because of the strict restrictions on the number of people, the size of the team is not very large, only 22 people. Six of them stayed outside the Bohai Palace, and there were only sixteen people who entered the underground palace, including himself and Wang Dawei.

After passing through the spiral passage and the nest of the human-faced bat, five people have already been lost. If there was any accident with the team member just now, there would only be ten people left in the team he led, plus four people from Chen Ziyang's side, there would be only fourteen people in total, and at this time, the drawbacks brought about by the streamlining of the team members would be revealed.

No, we can't let the team continue to reduce the number of people like this, although not rescuing this team member can reduce the danger of the team, but, after all, these people are brothers who were born and died with themselves, in other words, if they fall into the water, other people will also save themselves, and now if you can fight for one person, you will have more strength.

Thinking of this, Xiao Na hurriedly stopped the team and searched around the place where the team member had disappeared just now. The place where the team member disappeared was obvious, because the surrounding water surface was covered with huge purple royal lotus leaves, but in the place where the team member disappeared, there was a place the size of a water basin full of water, and there were no leaves, and it was clear at a glance that the leaves there had disappeared with this team member.

While Xiao Na and several of her team members were shining a flashlight into the water, looking for the trace of the team member, Chen Ziyang had been standing on the blade next to him, carefully observing the lines of fireflies in the distance. And he found a strange place.

Chen Ziyang had noticed that something was wrong with this thing chasing them in the water. Looking at the number of fireflies flying, the volume of this thing chasing them underwater is not very small, and it can even be described as relatively huge, but Chen Ziyang found one thing, that is, when this thing was chasing them underwater, where this object passed, those Wang Lian's leaves did not shake very much.

This body of water is full of this huge royal lotus leaves, although the area of these royal lotus leaves is relatively large, but through the number of leaves on the water surface, the number of stems of this royal lotus leaves under the water is not a few, and the distance between the stems is about two or three meters apart, in some places where the leaves of the royal lotus are more dense, these stems under the water should also be more dense.

According to the volume of the underwater thing, the place it passes through should drive these stems underwater, if the stems are touched by it, then these royal lotus leaves on the water will inevitably shake violently, and even due to the pull of the stems, many of these huge leaves will be pulled under the water.

But Chen Ziyang found that when this underwater object chased them from beginning to end, although the leaves of Wang Lian where it passed were slightly shaking, and the fireflies above were frightened to fly, but none of the leaves sank underwater, or they shook very strongly, which made Chen Ziyang very puzzled, could this object be unable to do it, whenever he passed the stem of Wang Lian's leaves, it would pass through the gap in the middle.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang probably guessed that something was chasing them underwater, it should not be a huge creature, but something similar to a school of fish, only this explanation is more reasonable.

A large number of fish come together and become a school of fish, so that when viewed from above, it is as if they form a whole behemoth, and there are many such schools of fish in nature, in order to confuse their natural predators and make them think that they are a huge creature and thus avoid being attacked.

But in fact, this behemoth is composed of a large number of small fish, and when these fish chase them underwater, when they pass the stalks of those royal lotus leaves, they will only touch slightly, so they do not cause these royal lotus leaves to shake violently.

Xiao Na's search made no progress, more than a dozen people around that place all looked left, right, and right, but still did not find the figure of the team member, Xiao Na looked at the watch, from the team member fell into the water to now, it has been a few minutes, it is estimated that this person is really lucky, so Xiao Na plans to give up the search task and continue to stay away from the things chasing them. However, just when Xiao Na had just given the order, Chen Ziyang suddenly waved his hand at her and whispered:

"Don't make a sound, just watch carefully." After Chen Ziyang said this, he pointed to the place where some fireflies flew up just now, and that was the place where the behemoth chased them and swam just now.

All the people didn't make a sound, and looked in the direction of Chen Ziyang's finger. I saw that there were a lot of fireflies flying there just now, but then there were no new fireflies that continued to fly, and looking at this meaning, it was obvious that the thing under the water had stopped chasing them.

It's really funny, everyone is running for their lives, and the thing in the water is desperately chasing after it, but when everyone stops running, that thing suddenly disappears. Before, Chen Ziyang thought that this underwater thing was playing a game with them.

Normally, according to the speed of this thing moving underwater, the team should have been caught up by it a long time ago, but this thing under the water has been surrounding them, slowly shrinking the encirclement, so Chen Ziyang believes that this is a game of predators playing prey before eating.

However, when Xiao Na and the others searched for the team member who had fallen into the water, he noticed that the thing chasing the team underwater suddenly slowed down. Even now, after he had informed everyone in the group, the thing had disappeared without a sound. Then there is only one plausible explanation, this thing is sensitive to sound, and it chases after the sound made by the team.

That's why when the team is running wildly, this thing is chasing faster and faster underwater, because the faster the team runs, the louder the sound will be, but when the team stops and searches for the player who fell in the water, no other sound comes out, and the thing loses its target, so the speed in the water slows down, and there are fewer startled fireflies, until now it has completely disappeared in the water.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyang found out this, Xiao Na gestured to his team members, this should be a kind of sign language that they commonly use, this kind of sign language is very common in the army, although the gestures are very simple, and the types of gestures are relatively small, but each gesture can express a different meaning, although Chen Ziyang and a few people can't understand this gesture, but they also understand that Xiao Na means to let the team move forward cautiously and not make any sound.

So everyone in the team hunched their waists, carefully stepped on the huge purple royal lotus leaves one after another, and slowly walked forward. All of them were doubly careful, not even daring to gasp loudly. Echoing in the entire underground space, except for the slight sound of everyone's feet coming into contact with the leaves of the royal lotus, no other sound could be heard.

Yang Lei smiled secretly at Chen Ziyang as he walked, and gave him a thumbs up with his left hand. That means that your kid's heart is really fine, and this kind of thing can be discovered by you, and a few of us are really saved.

In this case, although the team is moving slowly, it is safe. But there is one thing that Xiao Na has not been able to let go, and that is the team member who disappeared into the water just now.

The team member was at the back of the line, and it was supposed that he was the furthest away from the object chasing the team, but for some unknown reason, the team member disappeared into the water. If the team member accidentally fell into the water, at least he would have been found in the water, and his body would have been found in the worst case, but after the team member fell into the water, all traces of him disappeared.

Could it be that there is something else in the water chasing the team other than the one blocking them at the front of the group? But this is not possible at all, because after such a long time, there have been no accidents to the others. This made Xiao Na puzzled, but now she couldn't think of a reason, so she could only make everyone in the team doubly careful.

Just when everyone thought that the team would walk out of this water safely, one of Xiao Na's team members had another accident when he stepped on a Wang Lian leaf.

At that time, this team member was walking at the front of the team, and because of the previous events, everyone in the team was paying attention to the movements of the other team members with the corner of their eyes. Almost seven or eight people saw it at the same time, and when this team member stepped on the center of the Wang Lian leaf, the Wang Lian leaf suddenly closed and wrapped the team member in the middle.

The edge of the Wang Lian leaf suddenly rolled up, as if a huge dumpling skin wrapped the dumpling filling in, the Wang Lian leaf formed a semicircle, clamping the team member tightly in the middle, just when the whole leaf was closed, the Wang Lian leaf suddenly shrank below the water surface, completely disappeared, except for a splash on the water, there was no other trace.

And just after this piece of Wang Lian leaf shrank, the other people hurriedly ran over, and used a flashlight to shine into the water, only to see that the closed Wang Lotus leaf was slowly shrinking underwater, and the two team members quickly jumped into the water, grabbed this piece of Wang Lotus leaf, and at the same time cut the stem of this leaf with a dagger in their hands.

However, the stem of this leaf is the thickness of a human forearm, and at the same time it is very tough, and the sharp dagger cut it, leaving only a shallow cut mark on it, and the two team members worked hard underwater for a long time, but they could not cut the stem of this leaf.

Seeing that this piece of Wang Lian leaf was shrinking deeper and deeper under the water, the two team members became anxious, and one of the team members saw that this kind of stem could not be cut in a short time, so he turned his target to the leaf of Wang Lian Ye, although this leaf is very thick, but it is not as tough as the stem.

After the sharp dagger was inserted, the team member used the dagger to cut a fan-shaped gap in the leaves of Wang Lian, and at the same time pulled the leaves apart, and the team member who was wrapped in Wang Lian's leaves instantly swam out of the gap, and the three of them held hands together and rose back to the surface from the bottom of the water.

Although only a dozen seconds have passed from the time this team member was wrapped in Wang Lian's leaves and pulled into the water to the time when the three people surfaced, these ten seconds seemed to be as long as a long time for Xiao Na and the others who were waiting above.

After finally seeing the three people showing their heads in the water, Xiao Na breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately there was no accident this time. The others quickly pulled the three out of the water.

"My good man, how can this kind of leaf still eat people!" Yang Lei whispered in Chen Ziyang's ear, but he found that Chen Ziyang did not hear his own words, but instead focused on the distance.

As the leaf dragged the team member underwater, the team made some noises to rescue him, loud enough to attract the thing that was chasing them before. Sure enough, just as Chen Ziyang guessed, on the originally calm water in the distance, pieces of fireflies rose again.

This time, the creatures under the water clearly didn't have the heart to play before, or because they had lost their target before, which brought them a little irritation, and this time, the arrows of the rising fireflies came straight at the side of the team.

"Run!" Although he didn't know what these things were underwater, Chen Ziyang knew that these things were definitely not good, and the sound made by the team at this time had obviously attracted him, and there was no need to hide it carefully, this was the time to test his speed.

In order to avoid this thing before, the team had already lost its way, at this time, regardless of three seven twenty-one, Chen Ziyang led the way and ran in the direction of the thing that was chasing over, Xiao Na and the others also saw the fireflies rising in the distance, and all the people did not waste time, and hurriedly ran forward in the direction of Chen Ziyang.

The crowd running on the water and the unknown creatures chasing under the water each brought a large number of fireflies, looking down from the sky, two huge yellow arrows composed of fireflies were chasing, but the arrows in front were smaller, and the arrows chasing in the back were larger, and the distance between the two arrows was getting closer and closer.
