Chapter 170: The Waterhole
With full anticipation, Liang Hu slowly dived into the unfathomable tunnel, and the strong light from the flashlight could only barely find a few meters in front of him, reflecting all kinds of strange shadows on the rock wall around him. The front is unfathomable, the underwater silence is silent, so that Liang Hu vaguely feels like he is in a horror movie shooting scene, in order to make the fetal breathing technique last for some more time, Liang Hu has no way to release his spiritual sense, so he has to use the most primitive method to observe the surrounding environment, his feet swing vigorously to push himself towards the oblique down, from time to time and the raised rocks around him pass by, and his heart is silently looking forward to meeting more surprises.
"Ahh Liang Hu was not surprised, he held back the pain and slowly reached over, and when he got close to Yingyu's body, he suddenly used his strength to hold it tightly in his palm. Yingyu struggled desperately, but there was no way to escape from Liang Hu's grasp, and he was finally put into the storage space of the silk belt and died.
Liang Hu put away the loot and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, there is only a long and winding passage here, where did this Yingyu come from? Liang Hu did not find any clues in the part of the Yongdao in front of him, he wanted to turn around but was limited by the narrow length of the Yongdao, so he used his hands to support the rock walls on both sides as if reversing and squirmed backwards, and it took a lot of effort to retreat back six or seven meters, and finally found the hiding place of this Yingyu, which was a gap in the rock wall that was blocked from the outside.
Looking at the past from Liang Hu's position, the gap was blocked by a raised rock, and he couldn't see the situation inside, just now Liang Hu was still propping his palm on the raised rock, using his strength to let his body swim forward, how did he know that his move would lure out the Yingyu hidden in the nest and launch a surprise attack on himself. When Liang Hu carefully checked and searched repeatedly, he found that there was a hole inside because he changed the angle, but unfortunately Liang Hu was tall and couldn't get into it at all, so he began to pull the rocks around the gap to see if he could dig out the space by himself.
Liang Hu quickly gave up this move, his strength advantage is difficult to exert under the water, only fifty percent of his strength is left, plus it is difficult to exert force with his bare hands, Liang Hu spent a lot of effort to pry a few raised rocks, if you want to completely chisel this gap about dozens of meters deep, it is estimated that it is impossible to do it in ten days and half a month. Not to mention that there are Yi Xinzhu and his party waiting for him outside, even if Liang Hu can devote himself to this thing without considering other effects, his fetal breath technique will not last for such a long time, since the harvest here has far exceeded expectations, it is better not to be too greedy, continue to look for the main target of this adventure.
The deeper he went, the narrower the space became, and several raised rocks were already blocking Liang Hu's path, forcing him to stop and remove the obstacles. After stumbling like this for about an hour, Liang Hu suddenly felt that the calm water around him suddenly began to accelerate and flow outward, as if he was forcibly sucked out by something, he knew that he was not far from the exit, so he clasped the rock crevices on both sides with both hands and stopped to rest for a while, in order to speed up the energy consumed, Liang Hu also blessed himself with a cool talisman, the effect of the water system talisman under the water was very obvious, so that Liang Hu's slightly tired spirit was lifted.
When his body came to the exit, a turbulent water suddenly enveloped Liang Hu, desperately dragging him into the whirlpool below, Liang Hu's fingers were already inserted in the rock, and when the body was attacked, he immediately used his fingers to exert force, firmly fixed himself on the stone wall, and fought against this extremely strong suction. After waiting for more than ten seconds, Liang Hu had adapted to this change from static to dynamic, and then he clasped his fingers around the gap little by little, and climbed out with his body close to the rock at the exit of the corridor.
Compared with the suffocated and narrow corridor, the space outside is unusually huge, and Liang Hu's first feeling is that he has run into some well-known big lake. Feeling the strong suction around him, Liang Hu shone a flashlight under him with a mouth, and found nothing, he thought about it and fixed his body with one arm, and stretched out his other hand to take out a glow stick from his arms.
Liang Hu's fingers made the glowstick glow softly, and then he let go of his fingers and let the glowstick be carried away by the turbulent water, quickly swept into the whirlpool below. Liang Hu concentrated his eyes on the glimmer of light and gradually moved away from the depths of the water, and after a few minutes, the light of the glow stick had completely disappeared. Liang Hu pondered slightly for a few seconds, he had already deduced the depth of the sinking of the glow stick according to the speed of the water flow around him, he was surprised to find that the lake he was in was bigger and deeper than expected, before the light emitted by the light stick disappeared from Liang Hu's field of vision, it had almost sunk to a kilometer or two away, but it had not yet touched the bottom of the water, how deep is this water source, is it already as legend has gone straight to the sea?
Liang Hu tightened his fingers inserted into the rock with this question, and began to slowly climb upward, the current environment is quite unfavorable for Liang Hu, once he is caught in that big whirlpool, even if there are no strange creatures below, as long as the whirlpool sucks Liang Hu and makes him unable to get out, when the fetal breathing technique fails, it is also when Liang Hu is dying.
Due to the continuous erosion of the water day and night, Liang Hu is now on the rock is very smooth, not even moss and other microorganisms, the only thing he can borrow is to put his fingers into the rock, and then climb up little by little like rock climbing. The enemy of rock climbing enthusiasts is gravity, and Liang Hu's opponent is the completely irregular turbulent water in the water, he struggled to climb dozens of meters, and found that the speed of the water around him showed signs of slowing down, so Liang Hu, who was very happy, accelerated the movements of his hands and feet, and finally came to a nearly static water world after almost twenty minutes.
Liang Hu, who was out of danger, breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let go of his fingers that were clasped in the rock, he quickly punched out a cool talisman to restore most of his body, and at the same time he was glad in his heart that he chose the forging method as the natal law decision after being reborn, otherwise, even if he was full of all kinds of powerful talismans, it would be difficult for his body to persist in such a harsh environment until now.
A few minutes later, the calm water above his head was broken by Liang Hu's upward movement, and he finally returned to the normal environment of human existence. Liang Hu stepped on the water and swam towards the shore, while his eyes looked around to observe the situation here, I don't know why he always felt that there was something wrong with the environment here, this doubt was not until Liang Hu looked up at the rock wall above his head before he suddenly realized, the faint moonlight shone down from the gap in the rock wall overhead, even Liang Hu turned off the flashlight can barely see the situation in this spacious cave, he started from entering the dark bat cave, almost stayed in the endless darkness for several hours, he has long been used to the feeling of darkness around him, no wonder he is not used to it when he just surfaced。
Liang Hu had just climbed onto the shore, and his eyes were immediately attracted by a cluster of umbrella-shaped mushroom creatures not far away, no matter from the appearance, color or faintly exuded water aura, these ru white "mushrooms" were the Yin Yuan mushrooms that Liang Hu was looking for on this trip. This discovery made Liang Hu ecstatic, he didn't care about the fatigue of his body, and hurriedly walked over to take a closer look, and made sure that this thing in front of him was indeed Yin Yuan mushroom, but the age was slightly worse, only fifteen or sixteen years.
Liang Hu took a cursory look at every corner around the waterhole, and he found that there were more than a dozen Yinyuan mushrooms growing here and there, and the closer to the northwest the Yinyuan mushrooms were, the longer the lifespan of the Yinyuan mushrooms, but the longest one was no more than twenty years, which indicated that the gold-based spiritual object that Liang Hu was looking for should be in this direction. The Yin Yuan mushroom closest to the waterhole has been uprooted, and it is believed that it was the person who fell here. Thinking of this, Liang Hu raised his head and looked at the rock crevice above his head, several hours had passed since he entered the bat cave, and it was time to quickly find his way out from here to send a signal.
Because Liang Hu once agreed with Yi Xinzhu that all the Yin Yuan Mushrooms here belong to the latter, and the golden spiritual objects that gave birth to Yin Yuan Mushrooms belong to Liang Hu, because he did not touch any of the Yin Yuan Mushrooms here, in addition to keeping his promise, but also because the maximum age of these Yin Yuan Mushrooms has not exceeded twenty years. The potency of the Yin Yuan Mushroom will only increase significantly every other century, that is, every twelve years, so there is no difference between the twelve-year-old Yin Yuan Mushroom and the twenty-three-year-old Yin Yuan Mushroom, even if Liang Hu is allowed to use these Yin Yuan Mushrooms that are less than two years old to refine the elixir, at best, it is just so that ordinary people can prolong their lives, and there is no need for him to tear up his promise for such a small profit.
After a short rest, Liang Hu began to look for the traces of the traveler in high spirits, this matter is much easier than going into the bat cave alone, exploring the deep water pool or something, it didn't take long for Liang Hu to find signs of someone climbing on a not steep mountain wall, he easily drilled out of the crack overhead along the route of the traveler's escape that day. Liang Hu, who was standing in the moonlight, was indescribably relaxed, he took out the signal flare from his arms and launched it, watching the red ball of light cut through the sky and fell into the distance, Liang Hu sat leisurely on the arm-thick branch, enjoying the cool night breeze on his face.
