Chapter 395: Into the Water
The tall, thin man slowly reached for the flower.
Shangguan Li said to Tang Zi while casually looking at the red flower half-submerged in the water.
"If you have a clue in the future, don't forget to tell me, I'm curious too......"
In the middle of her words, her voice suddenly stopped.
Tang Zi looked at her gaze for some reason, and saw that the flower that had been hanging on the side of the driftwood just now somehow broke away from the driftwood and floated straight into an undercurrent.
And the tall and thin man just now waved his hand in some panic.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it......"
Tang Zi frowned, seeing that Shangguan Li's expression was not quite right.
"The flowers are gone, you are still the first, the emperor should be ......"
"Really?"
Shangguan Li asked lightly.
The voice was not loud, as if it was just talking to itself. But to Tang Zi's ears, the voice was a little cold.
Then before he could react, Shangguan Li suddenly stood up, jumped on the round platform under his feet, and jumped straight towards the undercurrent.
"County Lord!"
Tang Zi's fright is not trivial, the undercurrent is not like the surface of the ordinary lake, and it cannot be borrowed!
Sure enough, he watched Shangguan Li's whole person fall into the water with a "plop", and he was silent all of a sudden.
Even if he is as calm and self-contained as Tang Zi, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she was the one who just talked about the power of the undercurrent, why is it that she is the one who jumps in regardless of it now?
Without thinking much about it, he immediately slapped the tower with one palm, and was about to set up the "Tower Bridge" to save people, when he suddenly felt a stagnation under his feet.
He looked down and saw that the wind and rain were very strong, and the light was dim, and he crouched down for a moment to distinguish it before he saw that it was a very thin thread.
One end was wrapped around his ankle, and the other snaked a hidden trail on the wet round platform, extending into the water in front of him.
Of course, Shangguan Li is not idle and wants to die.
After jumping into the water, she immediately adjusted her posture, turned her head inward, relaxed her body and rotated in the direction of the whirlpool.
Because of the heavy rain, the lake was so turbid that it was difficult for her to even open her eyes, let alone know where the flower was.
Fortunately, the flower had the same hands and feet she had used in the first place, and she had a small rope glued to it, otherwise it wouldn't have been so cleverly stuck on the driftwood.
So now she only needs to find the end of the rope, after all, the rope is an extremely light thing, even in the undercurrent, it must float on the top.
So Shangguan Li tried not to let himself sink as much as possible.
After looking for a while with her eyes closed, her eyes lit up.
In the very center of the whirlpool, a rope with a faint glow floats.
But Shangguan Li did not rush over.
Because around there, there was a big black mass floating. Although he couldn't see clearly, Shangguan Li knew from experience that those were aquatic plants.
It's very resilient, and it's the deadliest thing in the undercurrent.
Once entangled in the water, even she would have wasted a lot of time trying to break free. But so far, she's been in the water long enough that she's going to be suffocating any longer.
She thought for a moment and felt the autumn water from her waist.
When Tang Zi on the round platform saw the thin line, he reacted almost immediately.
"When did she stick to my leg?"
By the time this thought crossed his mind, a full half of the time had passed.
"County Lord, how is she doing with County Lord? Why don't you go and save the county lord? ”
The little fat man was very fond of Shangguan Li at this time, and when he saw Tang Zi standing in place in a daze, he couldn't help but ask.
Although he didn't think that this person was just a contestant like himself, it stands to reason that he had no obligation to save Shangguan Li.
But Tang Zi didn't express dissatisfaction with his words, he just said lightly.
"Wait for half a pillar of incense."
"What? Wait, wait so long and people will be gone? ”
"Then you go down and save her yourself."
It was the tall and thin man who spoke before, but now he didn't seem to be panicked, he lowered his head, and couldn't help but block the little fat man who talked a lot.
The little fat man is obviously a bully who is afraid of the hard, and when he saw that someone had a tougher attitude than himself, he immediately retracted his head and kept silent.
Tang Zi's expression didn't change, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Are the younger generations of Da Zhou like this now?
It's not even as good as the county lord's daughter.
But this thought was just a flash, as a person who was scarlet, they didn't need to think so much, they just needed to follow His Majesty's orders.
Tang Zi redirected his attention to his ankle.
He tried to move just now, and sure enough, there was a response. It seems that the county lord is okay at least for now.
As the minutes ticked by, the people on the shore didn't seem to understand what was going on here, and the faint commotion had completely quieted down.
For a while, only the sound of wind and rain remained on the surface of the lake.
The time for a stick of incense is fast approaching.
But there is still no movement above the lake.
Tang Zi's heart sank slightly.
It is difficult for ordinary people to hold their breath in the water for too long, and a stick of incense is still obtained by him according to his own standards.
In fact, without training, even a martial arts practitioner can hardly survive half a pillar of incense in the water.
A stick of incense...... It's already the limit.
Tang Zi no longer hesitated, bent down and planned to pull Shangguan Li out of the water directly on the thin line.
He had already tried it just now, and this kind of wire is very hard, and it is not a problem to carry the weight of a person.
Since this thread was tied by the county lord himself, then the other end must be on her.
But as soon as he exerted his strength, Tang Zi suddenly felt his heart cold by half.
It's too light!
Not at all like the weight of a person.
Could it be that it was broken by something in the water? Tang Zi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to pull the line back to inspect it.
As a result, this pull, the feeling is different again.
The line seemed to be stuck on a very heavy thing, and Tang Zi pulled it hard, except for pulling his hand painfully, he didn't let the position of the line move a bit.
What's going on?
The sound of rain gradually covered every corner of the heavens and the earth, and those undercurrents were like leeches that had sucked enough blood, and the area expanded rapidly, and the forbidden army on the shore did not dare to act rashly, so they could only watch from the middle of the lake.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was half a pillar of incense time.
During this period, Tang Zi tried to pull the thin wire more than once, but he couldn't pull it.
Just when he felt that Shangguan Li might have encountered some accident, he couldn't help but want to jump in and find out.
Suddenly, I felt a faint force coming from my ankle.
Tang Zi's heart beat heavily.
