Chapter 17: It's like being cooked
"Uh....... Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Zhen felt in a trance, Liu Zhen shook his head while planning to sit up, his previous memory stayed on the wine table with the owner of the fried skewer shop, and he couldn't remember the content of the rest clearly, Liu Zhen knew that he should have "drunk fragments".
Liu Zhen didn't sit up when he moved, and Liu Zhen knew what was going on with the weight passed from his body. "Lin Duo! Did I say don't do this again?!" Liu Zhen opened his eyes and saw Lin Duo looking at him with aggrieved eyes, "Good! Go down...... You're getting heavier and heavier....... ”
Liu ...... Liu Zhen! Wake up...... Wake up?!" The Smurf Brady was not far away, and when he heard Liu Zhen's movement, he immediately swam over.
"Hey, Brady, I'm not here these days, are you okay?" asked Liu Zhen, moving his arms and legs.
"Both...... It's all still ...... It's fine!"
Liu Zhen looked around, "We're still on the fourth floor, right?" where did the Second Elder and Brinham go?"
"Go...... Go...... Find your way. ”
"Find a way, you can move freely?!" Liu Zhen really didn't expect that before he returned to the human world, the Smurfs were still learning how to adapt to moving within the fish skin!
"Hmm!" Brady nodded a little excitedly, and then she gave a general account of Liu Zhen's absence for the past three days. Originally, before Liu Zhen left, they really hadn't adapted to using fish skin for activities. However, just yesterday, the Second Elder finally figured out the trick, or more precisely, found an easy way.
Previously, in order to ensure that there was enough water to keep warm, they used to fill the transparent fish skin with water as much as possible. However, this also caused their entire body to form a state of "four non-reliance" in the skin of the fish, and it was quite laborious to move. The method that the second elder came up with was to inject a minimum amount of water, although it was not tightly attached to the body like a straitjacket, but it could also allow them to grasp the fish skin and make various movements conveniently.
"Jiang is still old and spicy!" Liu Zhen listened to Brady's stumbling explanation and nodded incessantly.
It didn't take long for the Second Elder and Brinnham to return to the passage. Liu Zhen saw the way the Smurfs swam in the fish skin, and he admired the second elder even more.
"Second Elder, your brain is spinning so fast! Admire and admire!" Liu Zhen gave a thumbs up to the Second Elder, "Your butterfly swimming method is very suitable for moving in the fish skin!"
"Butterfly swimming, what is that?" the second elder didn't know what Liu Zhen meant, "I just think I can swim faster this way." ”
"Butterfly stroke is our human name for a swimming style, so let's not talk about it. Tell us about your explorations, shall we?"
"Nothing to discover at the moment. The Second Elder shook his head, "We barely got used to it yesterday, and now the area we explore is not big. ”
In fact, Liu Zhen had already explored a large area in the process of searching for transparent fish skins before, but after all, the area of the fourth layer was huge, and it was not so easy to find the entrance to the next layer.
In the following period, Liu Zhen and the others were all looking for an exit non-stop except for normal eating and resting.
Liu ...... Liu Zhen, eat ...... Let's eat something!" Liu Zhen returned to the passage after another exploration, and Brady saw it and immediately handed over the food. Brady is weak in combat and athletic, so he has been staying in the passage to provide them with logistical support.
"Thank you. Liu Zhen reached out and took a piece of fish meat, chewing weakly. After such a long time, they still haven't found any exit, which is one of the reasons why Liu Zhen is weak.
Another reason is the food. Liu Zhen now wants to vomit when he sees the fish, if it weren't for the sake of ensuring his physical strength, he wouldn't want to eat a bite. It doesn't matter if the meat is raw, it doesn't taste bad yet! This made Liu Zhen depressed.
"I envy your good appetite. Liu Zhen looked at Lin Duo, the little white hairball next to him who was eating straight, and showed a wry smile. According to Liu Zhen's own calculations, he still has a third of his time at most, and then he will return to the human world again.
"It seems that there is no way to join them this time, am I really going to die of old age in this Haiyuan Secret Realm?" Liu Zhen thought weakly. During this time, he had been trying his best to find a way to leave the secret realm of Haiyuan, but in each floor, except for the passage that connected the upper and lower levels, there was no place like an exit. Liu Zhen searched carefully, but he didn't even find a crack that was too big. However, he was not reconciled, and at each level he tried to use "lightning and cross slash" against some seemingly weak stone walls, but unfortunately every time it was a disappointing result.
Liu Zhen didn't have much time to rest when he returned to the elven world this time, and he felt extremely tired at this time. The physical fatigue can be overcome by gritting his teeth, but the mental fatigue makes him a little unbearable.
"Brady, I'll rest for a while. Liu Zhen said hello to Brady, and then half leaned on the cave wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, probably too tired, Liu Zhen only felt that he didn't know anything as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen!"
Liu Zhen only heard another person calling himself, a spirit, and suddenly sobered up. It was discovered that it was the second elder of the Smurfs who called him.
"Are you back?" Liu Zhen rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up slowly, "How is it?"
The second elder frowned slightly, and instead of answering Liu Zhen for the first time, he asked a question, "Liu Zhen, have you explored all the areas assigned to you before?"
"I've explored it all, but I haven't found anything. What's wrong?"
"We've searched everywhere else and found no exit. The Second Elder sighed.
"That means the entire fourth layer has been searched?"
"Yes. ”
"Either we're missing something, or the passage is blocked. Liu Zhen thought for a moment and said.
"I think so too. Brinnham and I thought about it, and in the two areas we were responsible for searching, there were probably three places where the rocks were congregated, and it was possible that there were passages. ”
"There seem to be a few places in the area I'm responsible for. I don't remember exactly, though, so I'll have to check it out again. Although Liu Zhen couldn't remember the specific location, he was not worried, because he had a flesh locator - the little white hairball Linduo. "Without further ado, I'll go now!" Liu Zhen took Lindo to the fourth layer again, while the second elder and Brynnam also set off at the same time, both at the same time.
Under the guidance of Lin Duo, Liu Zhen successively searched for five places where there might be passages. The stones that could be turned were all turned to the side, and if they were too huge to move, Liu Zhen used the wolf soul to chop them all, stirring the originally very clear bottom of the water, and there was a miasma of black smoke.
"Lin Duo, is there any such place?" Liu Zhen floated in the water, a little panting, this destruction is also a hard work, it really can't be done casually.
Lindo blinked his big eyes and shook his head.
"Then is there anything we haven't checked?"
Lindo shook his head again.
"Come on, go back to the passageway, and see if the second elder can find out." ”
Liu Zhen and Lin Duo had just swam back to the entrance of the passage, and happened to meet the second elder and Brynham, and before Liu Zhen could speak, the second elder had already swam over excitedly, "Liu Zhen!
Now that you've found the passage, you're all set. Next, Liu Zhen and the others returned to the passage to have a good rest, and when everyone was ready, they packed up and set off for the connecting passage between the fourth and fifth floors.
It's no wonder that the Second Elder and Brinham didn't find the passage before, Liu Zhen came here to take a look and realized that there was a big stone blocking the passage mouth before, and at the same time, there was still a living area for a group of small swimming fish nearby. At this time, the big stone had already shattered to the ground, and Liu Zhen estimated that the second elder had done it with his fist.
"It's the last layer!" the second elder's face was full of joy! his task was finally almost complete.
"The last layer is ....... Liu Zhen looked helpless. If he can't find a way out, he'll be doomed.
This passage is a little different from the other connecting passages, and the space is not large, at most it is only enough for one person to pass through. Liu Zhen and the others had to enter in turn.
After more than an hour of downstream along the passage, the elves were almost sticking out their tongues one by one, feeling that they had broken away from the cold fourth layer, and they took off their transparent fish skins one after another.
Then they swam for another half an hour, "What...... Still...... Still is...... Where's the heat?" the Smurf Brady couldn't hold on, and had a feeling that he was about to collapse.
Liu Zhen had been following Brady, and when he saw her body shaking, he went up and grabbed her shoulder, "Hey, Second Elder, let's take a rest!"
"What's wrong?" The second elder took the lead and was always at the front, and when he heard Liu Zhen speak, he turned around and asked, his face was a little blue and red (after all, it was a Smurf).
"Brady is not feeling well. Second Elder, why do you have such a strange face?" asked Liu Zhen.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little stuffy. The second elder smiled, "We've been walking for quite a long time, so it's good for everyone to take a rest." ”
Liu Zhen looked at the state of the second elder, as if he had run ten kilometers of cross-country, and he had been panting. Although Liu Zhen also felt hot, he could barely bear it.
"Second Elder, do you think there will be hot water down there?" Liu Zhen turned his mind and immediately thought of something.
"What do you mean?" the Second Elder asked.
"The fourth layer of water is bitterly cold. The fifth layer can't be scorching, right?" Liu Zhen said.
"I think it's possible!" Brinham interjected.
Liu Zhen didn't pay attention just now, and only then did he look at him when he heard Brinham say, "I'll go! Why do you look like you've been cooked?!"
