Chapter 81: Underground River?
The situation in this world seems to be more complicated than imagined.
At the moment, it seems that the mission is directed to her to find the secrets of Animal City, which is hard not to remind her of the secret that causes people to mutate like the inhabitants of Animal City.
The division of forces is not a simple struggle between people and non-people, the struggle between people also obviously exists, and the beginning of the dispute must be driven by interests, that is to say, there is an unknown dispute of interests between the three forces, and her task is to find out the relationship between them, all of which starts from understanding the world.
Gluttony might be able to answer some of her questions, but that will have to wait until she returns from her next hunt.
In order to replenish his strength, Fang Chi slept for a while, until night fell, and after watching the girl climb over the wall and leave, he got up and took out a shovel to prepare to dig a grave.
In the graveyard of sin, the fragment of memory broke free and attacked her first, and then revealed her identity, she didn't understand why, and there was no guarantee that something that came out of this grave would attack her first.
This time, she was alone, and if she encountered any danger, she could only rely on herself, so she had to be fully mentally prepared.
At present, it seems that finding the broken memory fragment is the fastest way to improve her strength, and since there are signs, she will not miss this opportunity in vain.
Having made up her mind, she went to the grave, shoveled most of the weeds off the grave, cleared a rough area, and began to dig along the edges.
Shovel after shovel, and the expected scene did not appear for a long time, Fang Chi gradually became a little anxious.
She didn't know when the gluttony from the hunt would suddenly return, so she could only dig as fast as she could, and although the shovel was very sharp, it was still too small, and it even looked a little funny compared to the huge grave.
Could it be that this tomb also has a grave keeper like the old man? And the opening of the door needs the help of the grave keeper?
I don't know how long I dug it, but the pit in front of me is getting deeper and deeper, but except for the more and more moist soil, there is no sign of digging anything at all.
Digging graves is also manual work, not to mention relying only on a small shovel, now she already feels that her two arms are not her own, and she is very sore.
Just when she wondered if her decision was wrong, she saw an incredible scene in the pit.
I saw that the bottom of the pit more than one meter deep was gradually seeping out of the fine water flow, and as time went by, there was more and more water in the pit, but the speed of the water seeping out was extremely slow, and it would take a long, long time to fill the entire pit.
Could it be that there is a dark river underground? But the average Dark River wouldn't be so close to the ground.
The most important thing is how can a tomb be built on a dark river, whether it is from feng shui or other aspects, this should not be a suitable place to bury the dead, and after digging so deep, it is reasonable to dig up the coffin, why hasn't it appeared yet.
At this point, Fang Chi also felt that she couldn't give up so easily, this tomb was definitely weird, she had to dig something to feel at ease.
After a hasty rest, she felt her arms regain some strength, and she began to dig down the seeping pit again, and when she reached the back, she could only stand in the pit to continue digging.
At this time, the speed of water seepage in the pit seemed to speed up a lot, and after a while, it was already half of the sole, fortunately she was wearing the special combat boots, if it was the previous pair of cloth shoes, I am afraid it would have been soaked.
It's just that it's not a way to go on like this, the water level is getting higher and higher, and sooner or later it will be over her legs and body, and if she hasn't dug up before that, she will have to stop tonight.
Just as the oozing water rose to the height of her calf, the shovel in her hand suddenly unloaded, as if it had dug through something, and the soil under her feet suddenly became soft, collapsing before she realized what was happening.
Like a tightrope walker, she fell uncontrollably downward, and the current flooded her body, bringing a strong pressure to her chest.
What's the matter, did she dig through and fall into the underground river?
Just as she tried to swim back, she found that the hole that had caused her to fall was gone, and she seemed to appear in this body of water out of thin air.
This situation reminded her of the scene in the grave of sin, when the woman hugged her, and at that time she also appeared out of thin air in a pool, and she was able to breathe in the water.
To verify this, she tried to take a breath in the water, but she didn't breathe freely in the water as she had imagined.
And because of choking on a mouthful of water, a faint bitter saltiness appeared in the throat and lasted for a long time.
Idle? Only the sea is salty, did she dig through the whole island? This is also outrageous, how deep did she dig, if the land of this island is only so shallow, how can it withstand so many high-rise buildings.
Besides, there were humans living underground, and she remembered that it had been a long time since she took the elevator, and the pit she had just dug was not even enough for the elevator to fill, let alone go any further.
So why is this happening, can't the whole island be the only one that lacks a large piece of land under this courtyard......
There is less and less air left in the chest cavity, and the situation is becoming more and more critical, and if you don't find a way back to land sooner, you will sooner or later drown in the water due to lack of oxygen.
The water quality was different from the usual turbidity, even if Fang Chi's eyes were mutated and could only vaguely see the water within a few meters, whether to stay in place to save her strength and wait for death, or try her best to find hope for life, there was no doubt that she chose the latter.
At this moment, like an undersea volcano erupting, there was a sudden roar from the bottom of the water, and with the shaking of the earth and the shaking of the mountains, waves surged up from below.
It was at this moment that a familiar throbbing spread to her limbs.
There are fragments of her memories underwater!
Fang Chi swam to the deeper waters without hesitation, she wasn't sure if there would be a glimmer of life upstream, but the probability of surviving downstream would definitely be greater than upstream.
The further she went, the stronger the vibration became, and she even felt the waves that wanted to push her up, making her swim more and more strenuous, and her head getting bigger and bigger.
She was not good at swimming, let alone holding her breath, and it was already her best to be able to swim for so long, but now there were more waves pushing her upwards, as if they were deliberately preventing her from going down, and she felt that she was about to die.
