Chapter 272: Quicksand and Water
I quickly stabilized the force of the fall, and quickly grabbed the arm of the iron bull, and accidentally fell down, and looked at the top of my head, which was not a trap. There was a lot of space below, about a few feet high, and I released the fire lighting and found that it was a confined space, and there was no exit in sight from the place where we had just fallen, only sand falling from above.
Quicksand, is this an ancient tomb, I have seen countless tomb robbery classics, and it is very similar to our current situation. When Tie Niu fell, I removed part of the strength of the fall, so there was nothing wrong with it, Tie Niu asked me: "Yunfei, oh no, Seventh Brother, what now?" Listening to his voice, he was obviously trembling.
I smiled bitterly, if you come, you will be safe, I told Tie Niu: "Go inside first, look for other exits." "Iron Bull is also very cooperative at this time to follow me inside, into the depths, a piece of blue on the top of the cave attracted my attention, and then walk in a little, take a closer look, it turns out to be just some glowing stones, the inside of the stone at first glance looks like the Milky Way, since there is no research value, I motioned to Iron Bull to follow, and walked forward. At this time, my feet were empty again, the iron bull had fallen, and half of my body was outside, supporting myself with the ability to resist the wind to prevent myself from falling, but there seemed to be a suction force pulling me below, and I was surrounded by fine sand, and sure enough, it was quicksand.
After struggling for a while, the force below was too great, and the range of quicksand around me gradually expanded, and without borrowing any strength, I fell down suddenly. The height below was only a few feet, and the quicksand above had now stopped flowing, and the Iron Bull had fainted to the ground. It's a small space, and you can see the end at a glance, about the size of a farmhouse, and strangely enough, there is a light here, and the light source comes from the middle of the ground. When I stepped forward, I saw that it was a pool, and the light source came from the pool, and the water in the whole pool was pale blue, which looked very strange.
I woke up the Iron Bull, who was still dazed, and fell from such a height, although he did not suffer any internal injuries, but there were external injuries, and I didn't care about his aching teeth, and walked to the edge of the pool by myself. The light came from the bottom of the water, a wheel-sized stone, blue and translucent, quietly located in the center of the pool.
I called Tie Niu over, there must be something wrong with this stone, I want to ask Tie Niu's opinion, after all, he grew up in the Tianming Continent, and he may be able to know a little bit about it. But Tie Niu said that he had never seen this kind of stone, either there was a problem with the stone or there was a problem with this pool, in short, no one would dig a pit in the ground, and then design quicksand, and then fill a pool of water, and make a shining stone to put at the bottom of the water, so it is pointless.
I walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down to pick up the water with my hands, which was not cold in my hand, but warm, and did not stick to the water at all. I couldn't help frowning, there is indeed something wrong with this water, it seems to be a liquid, but in fact it is solid, but it can penetrate, what kind of water can it be! Tie Niu also staggered over at this time, and saw that the water I picked up flowed back into the pool like mercury, Tie Niu also squatted down to observe, a little, Tie Niu said to me: "I think there is something wrong with that stone, I'll go down and take a look." ”
I tried to stop him, but after thinking about it, I still forgot it, although the water was problematic, it was not like a corrosive liquid, and there was no danger in thinking about it. The Iron Bull jumped down with a plop, looking at the shore, the water level is not deep, and it is very clear, I can see the bottom of the water at a glance, I can see clearly after the Iron Bull jumped in, it turns out that the water level is not shallow, it is estimated that it is at least three to five meters.
The Iron Bull plunged into it, and dived, but the surface of the water only fluctuated slightly, and then it was back to normal, and under the water, the Iron Bull was trying to move the stone slab, and it seemed that his strength was not enough to shake it, so I jumped down too. As soon as you enter the water, a warm feeling surrounds your body, and the constant temperature is about 25 degrees, just like being in an air-conditioned room. I took out the spark of the yin and yang fire from the space ring, and wanted to see what difference the water was, but something strange really happened, the spark of the yin and yang fire was not ignited.
Now I don't have time to think about this at this time, let's get rid of the slate at the bottom of the water as soon as possible, I quickly dived underwater, at this time the iron bull has already seen me, obviously he is not very good at water, his face has been suffocated ugly, I grabbed his clothes, threw it hard, and the iron bull surfaced.
I moved the stone with all my might, and it seemed to be one with the stone at the bottom of the water, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not move it at all. There was resistance in the water, and I pounded it with my fists, but I couldn't exert much force, and suddenly I had an idea, and maybe the explosive bullet could blow it up. I took a few steps back, took out my revolver, and fired a shot at the stone slab, and a ball of fire appeared under the water, and after a few moments, when the water was calm again, there were already a few cracks in the stone slab.
Sure enough, there is a mystery, and it will be easy to do now, maybe there is something like a mechanism under this stone slab. I threw my fist down, and the slate shattered, and sure enough, there was space underneath, and it was a shaft-like passageway, and in it was still that pale blue solid water. It turned out that this was a passage, and then look at the edge of the shaft, there is a protruding iron, just now this iron tool is stuck in the inside of the stone slab, so it cannot be moved, and then look at the broken stone slab, there is a depression on the side of the stone slab, just to get stuck on the edge of the shaft The protruding iron. This discovery was beyond my expectations, it was clearly a door, and this sudden iron object was a lock.
I quickly surfaced and beckoned the Iron Ox to come down, when the sand began to fall down above the water, I hurriedly stopped the Iron Bull, don't come down, I wanted to fly out of the wind against the wind, but I couldn't resist the wind in this solid water, although this water was not sticky, but he blocked the flexibility of the body. The quicksand on the roof of the cave began to fall in large quantities, and after a while, the water had become turbid, and the quicksand stopped.
I was covered with only my head exposed, and I couldn't move from the bottom of my head, and the quicksand fell into the pool, mixed with the solid water, and solidified, and I felt like I was frozen now. I told Iron Bull to be vigilant, and my intuition told me that this was no accident, and as soon as Iron Bull answered, he heard a thud, and a large rat of the kind I had seen outside fell from above.
