readx;? Looking at the swarthy wellhead, Ian took a deep breath and grabbed the rope and slowly slid down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This well is not large, and the wall of the well is very dry, so it is quite convenient to hold it by hand, and it is not easy to fall directly. It's just that the smell in it is really unpleasant, like the stench of rotten flesh, which makes him frown and force him to breathe through his mouth.

It slid down for a while, and it was some distance from the wellhead. At this time, it can almost be said that he could not see his five fingers, and when he raised his head, he could barely see the fire at the mouth of the well, and when he lowered his head, it was still endless darkness. The more lonely people feel at times like this, Ian can easily hear his own heartbeat like the beating of a hammer.

He seems to be the only one in the world.

Ian took a deep breath and forced himself to cheer up. He knew that he had to pay attention at this time, in case he was not careful, he fell directly, and he didn't know what it would be, after all, he didn't see the bottom now.

Ian's palms slowly overflowed with sweat, and he had to increase his strength so that he wouldn't let go because of the slippage. So he maintained a high degree of tension and a certain amount of strength, and slowly slipped for nearly five minutes before finally seeing the fire coming from under his feet.

A minute later, his feet finally touched the ground. The feeling of powerlessness in the air dissipated, and Ian felt a lot of relief from the support from the earth. He turned his head to see that the crew had already lit a bonfire, and the warmth of the candle dispelled some of the chill here.

The first mate was sitting by the campfire with a pale face, naked and naked, with a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his chest, and the blood stained part of the gauze red. Vincent was sitting next to him, bandaging him, and the long dark golden knife was sheathed and placed aside.

Ian walked over to the two of them, stopping after a few steps as he saw the corpse of a sea monkey. The sea monkey's head had been blasted open, and dark green blood was spilled all over the ground. Ian thought it was the work of the musket, and at close range, the wound caused by the musket was indeed like this. So it's not difficult to guess what happened before, the first mate was attacked by a sea monkey below, and was injured, but fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, even if he shot the sea monkey down.

Otherwise, even Vincent wouldn't have been able to save him.

A crew member came out of the darkness with a torch and said to Vincent, "Nothing else has been found." ”

Vincent nodded, looked at the first mate and said, "Luck is not bad, if there are two, you will be here." ”

The first mate smiled reluctantly: "It's not you after all, if I had your skills, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." ”

Vincent shook his head and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the people below had to wait for the people above to come down, and Ian had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to wander around without torches. Vincent saw Ian and invited him to sit by the fire, but Ian did not refuse and sat down across from him.

"Do you know where we are?" asked Vincent.

"Where? isn't it in the mountains?" Ian thought for a moment, "I guess it's in the mountains." ”

"That's right. ”

"A little half?" Ian was stunned.

Vincent took an unlit match from the fire and gestured it on the ground. A triangle was drawn, and a horizontal line was drawn under the triangle, and then he pointed to the triangle and said, "This is the mountain." ”

Pointing to the horizontal line, he said, "This is sea level." ”

Then he pointed below the horizontal line: "This is where we are." ”

Ian froze, and it took him a few seconds to react, "You mean, we're below sea level, that is, in the ocean?"

"You can't go wrong. Vincent said, "I was just on the mountain, and before I entered the cave, I noticed that the cave was about sixty to seventy meters above the ground. And the climbing rope we are equipped with, one person is 45 meters, and we have two full of two, that is, a length of 90 meters, just enough to get here. ”

Ian understood what Vincent meant, ninety meters, seventy meters, a full twenty meters away. That is, they are twenty meters underground, and most likely even below sea level.

"And it's not a small place. Vincent spread his hands, "We have just taken a look at it, and the place where we are sitting now is not very large, but we have found three passages. Each passage has no end in sight, and it is not known where it leads. ”

Vincent paused and said softly, "Perhaps, this is the real island of legends." ”

Below sea level, three passages leading to nowhere. It's hard for Ian not to think of a year ago, when he and the Messiah were in the snowy mountains, there were also four passages under the roots of the World Tree. Something different in each passage, they found dragon eggs, incomprehensible murals, and priceless night pearls in one passage. Then in another passage, the passage from which they left, where the first Crusaders were buried.

"I read danger in your eyes. Vincent looked Ian in the eye and said, "Is this a hunter's instinct?"

Ian shook his head and said he didn't know.

"To be honest, I also think it's dangerous. Vincent whispered, "We've had enough strange things we've encountered since we landed on this island. God knows what will happen at the end of that passage, maybe we'll find the treasure like Lord Sophia, but it's also possible"

"To be left here forever. Ian burst out and took what Vincent was going to say, "It's like someone from that village." ”

Vincent looked into Ian's eyes and nodded silently.

The atmosphere was instantly suppressed, perhaps because of the psychological effect, Ian felt that his breathing was a lot more difficult, as if he was suffocated in a small airtight room.

At that moment, a scream pierced the silence of the chamber. Before Ian could react, the next moment, there was another sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, and he turned around to see a dark figure struggling on the ground.

"Oh my God! I'm going to die!" Tim didn't seem to realize that he had landed, and waved his limbs desperately with his eyes closed, like a dog in water, "Help! I don't want to die yet, Daddy, Daddy save me!!"

The corners of Ian's mouth twitched, thinking that no matter how serious the occasion, this living treasure would always come out at a critical moment to stir up the situation. Looking at Tim's embarrassed appearance, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and glanced back at Vincent, and found that Vincent was also looking at Tim with a strange expression.

At this moment, he felt that his mood was not as depressed as before.
