This man-eating water, along with the mud and sand, is like a galloping horse, screaming miserably in this underground hollow, shattering large swaths of discolored stone walls. This precious gem falls from the wall or ceiling like a school of fish falling down the waterfall.

The ancient astrological books once contained that the heavens and the earth were angry, and the water was angry.

The officers, prisoners, and guards standing on both sides did not dare to move forward. Yucun looked around, stood on the shore and saw that the three people who had fallen into the water were scattered by the water.

And I heard a voice from afar—

"Hold my hand! ——”

In this turbid water, my feet can't touch the bottom, and my hands can't break through the water. The bone-chilling cold will seize the body of the person who has fallen into the water, and cause him to sink deeper and deeper into the mire until he dies. The moment Gu Chuan broke through the water, he wanted to speak, so he swallowed a large mouthful of turbid water, choking and being sucked into the water at the same time. The heavy force pressed him tight.

The glowing tree's lights lit up like moonlight in the water for a moment, and then vanished. In the midst of this astonishing churning of water, a series of bubbles rose from their bodies all the time, and then disappeared in the turbulent raging waves.

I saw the furious rolling waves making repeated irregular movements that no one could predict. And the dangers and changes of impermanence form countless terrifying whirlpools that are born and disappear with each other, so that those who fall into them are dragged into the depths by the current for a while, and then raised again, but in general, it seems to be going to a certain depth.

They are fully committed to this dark tide.

His Highness had never gone into the water, because instinctively closed his eyes, and migrated with the water like an ignorant baby in this turbid water.

Gu Chuan tried his best to touch His Highness's hand, and he had already done it! As a result, the whirlpool of the water shook, and he was pushed away by the waves again.

The water had almost completely blocked his nostrils and mouth, and the stones and glass that floated in the water left wounds on his body one after another. Fortunately, he was born on the edge of a large river, and as the adults of the village went into the water many times, he slid his arm and fought fiercely against the waves with the water nature of his years, and his emotions were extremely excited, and his head was extremely calm.

When the movement of the current was suitable, he swooped forward against the waves, his legs stretched out like fish swimming in the waves, and then he grasped the girl's weak, boneless little hand with his solid young hand, and his right hand grasped the curious toeless man with open eyes on the other side.

At this time, His Highness, who had been submerged in the water, opened his eyes in surprise and nervousness.

She saw the boy in front of her who was messy with the water smiling at them.

She unconsciously hugged the adventurer's booklet in her arms, and after confirming that the booklet was still there, she stretched out her soft hand and touched the wound on Gu Chuan's face that was cut by the debris in the water.

The spilled blood flew away with the water, making it a crimson stream in the turbid waters.

And the toeless man was born with excellent water nature, he struggled in the water, kicked his feet for a while, waved his hands for a while, as if he was recalling the way of swimming, after being grabbed by Gu Chuan's hand, the three of them had each other's fulcrum and came back together.

But at this moment, a great suction force was generated at the shattered discolored stone wall below.

There are several more hidden tunnels that used to be, where the water rushes and where the water takes people tightly.

The shattered discolored stone wall above reveals the underground support of the Round Tower family that had been cemented with strange objects decades ago.

The massive hedron pillar wrapped in an iron shell flowed with an extraordinary mystery.

"What now? Public opinion officer. ”

Standing at the exit of the incense room corridor, Shen Shang couldn't laugh. Through the waterfall-like water that was still pouring, he asked Yu Cun who was standing at the entrance of the dark passage.

According to His Majesty's assignment, among the three people, the oldest Yucun is obviously the leader.

The public was silent.

No one knew what he was thinking at the time, and the only one who knew the changes in public opinion stood aside, his thoughts were chaotic, he didn't like to talk, and he didn't want to say more.

The captain of the guards was not with the three chiefs, and had already evacuated first and reported to the crown. The inmates, who did not show their true faces, returned on their own.

Shen Shang could still watch the play, but soon he realized that Yucun's face was not very good-looking, and he stood motionless at the entrance.

The sound of the water is surging, the breaches of the color-changing stone coins rush out of the waterfall, the deep water forms a whirlpool, and the light objects loom in the water, rising and falling. The sound of the water was also hidden in the sound of the water.

Yu Cun stared at this deep water for a long time.

A fishy smell kept wafting up from below, and the terrible whimper of running water filled his ears, and he no longer listened to the outside world, but only took a step towards the broken bridge.

At this time, Yu De turned his eyes, looked at Yu Cun, and asked him:

"What are you going to do, Chief?"

"I ......," he exhaled deeply, "I can't just go to see His Highness, I have to get His Highness and those two fugitives back, you don't have to worry about me...... Give me a lamp, guard. ”

As he took the lamp, he stared more and more intently at the swirling pool in front of him. This waterhole is very similar to the whirlpool in the water that he saw when he led his team in the upper reaches of the Rizhao River, the "Hanging Qu River", during the Sixth Dusk War. The Hanging River is the untouched land of Sunset City, with only a few small border villages. Because of the needs of the task, he needs to send a few water-based launches in his team to locate them. But no one answered, and he scolded everyone until they were all eggless wrecks. But in the end, a few hearty young men showed their white teeth and smiled and told him that they were coming.

"What do you want to do, Chief?"

He asked again.

After a while, he said:

"I'm responsible...... I am responsible for my majesty upwards, and I am responsible for my soldiers downwards. ”

Then he walked forward step by step, and when he came to the front, he straightened up, took off his coat, leaving only the tight lining, and, in full view of everyone, bent sharply, and plunged into the vagaries of the whirlpool.

At the same time, the captain of the guards, has reached the ground from the dungeon passage.

The rain on the ground was falling heavier and heavier, hitting the countless rooftops of the city.

Occasionally, a few dull thunderbolts startled and annoyed him.

"It's just this time of the heavy rain season!"

He hurriedly reported it. Within a moment, His Majesty had learned the news.

At that time, there was only one person in the splendid Middle Palace, except for the person who reported the news.

That's Mrs. Ogiri.

The scribe's clock was placed in a corner of the palace, and the sand table presented by Gu Chuan was placed in the center of the middle palace after some modifications made by craftsmen in line with the actual situation of the inner city.

When the messenger had finished telling the story, he was sent away by His Majesty. After he left, only Mrs. Oki was left in the middle palace.

The light refracts back and forth in the mirror, illuminating the sand table in the center. The mercury on the sand table flows slowly, like a solemn river in the warm solar terms, flowing quietly through the earth.

As soon as the door closed, Mrs. Ogiri asked:

"Your Majesty, what should you do with this momentum?"

"If you fall into the worst......" mural does not change in the slightest. The voice coming from the condensation machine also did not fluctuate, "Then let's start again from the third step of the plan." ”

Mrs. Oki opened her mouth slightly, as if taken aback. She lowered her head and said respectfully:

"As you said, but Your Majesty, I have a little problem, I don't know if I can talk about it."

"Tell me, I'll listen."

Mrs. Oki said:

"I didn't do the third step, Your Majesty. The third step was done by my ex. ”

"It's out of the way, Lordess." The voiceless voice continued, "You'll have time to look into it. If necessary, I will restart the project, re-recruit people, and start all over again. As you know, I've started to do it all over again, and I have the patience to do it a third time. ”

"That'...... That's a lot of scale. ”

Mrs. Oki first covered her mouth and feigned amazement. Then he shook his head continuously, sighed, and said:

"I just hope that His Highness can come back as soon as possible, then there is no need to start over."

The middle palace, without attendants and guards, was exceptionally quiet, and no distant sound of water could be heard. The lights are like fire, and the room is bright.

"She had to come back, even if it was to see her broken body."

The voice in the condensation machine still had no emotion.

This order was transmitted out of the Central Forbidden Palace in the next three minutes, and in the next half a day, it reached every corner of the inner city, and was also conveyed to the two chief officers who were still in the dungeon with the guards.

"Since I was a child, it seems that there is always nothing good about the rainy season. It is estimated that the new water family will have to shirk the responsibility of diving again...... Chief Officer...... Chief Officer? Are you listening? Sigh ......"

Shen Shang reluctantly smiled and said without complaint. On the other side, he didn't say a word, standing in place and waiting. He was bored, and with a feeling of apprehension, he went back to see the old man.

The water did not submerge the entire chameleon chamber, but only covered most of it, reaching the point where it was close to the entrance door.

And the big hole under the water was also submerged, and no one knew what was going on underneath, and no one dared to dive casually. The council is urgently summoning the people of the Shinsui clan to try to conduct underwater reconnaissance with the help of the Shinsui clan's strange objects.

The structure of it, not to mention Gu Chuan, His Highness and the Toeless Man, even Ta Cheng, who was once in charge of creating the dungeon, may not be clear.

I only know that the muddy water keeps penetrating, and the water splashes constantly.

Naturally, people who sink into the water do not know where and where they are swept away by the current.

Let's go back to the three of them.

I don't know how long it took for Gu Chuan to feel that his consciousness gradually returned to the world from the boundless darkness. But at that time, all his thoughts seemed to be in a state of confusion and inability to think, and they were disturbed and the world was spinning. Everything is so weird, so narrow.

The heavy eyelids were like an invisible wall, and all the outside world was in a deep drowsy, except for one place. Gu Chuan inexplicably felt that something very soft was gently licking the bleeding wet wound on his face, as if his gentle mother when she was a child gently rubbing the baby's soft skin, making the young man itchy and numb.

The subtle pain of this wound was too strange and unbelievable to him, so that an urgent and nervous sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly cried out:

"Don't ...... Don't touch me like that! I ......"

Halfway through that, that licking sensation was gone. He stepped out of the world with the walls closed in an instant, and the water in the pool was making a low wail. He opened his eyes and saw His Highness's pure and clean eyes.

He stared at His Highness in a daze, staring for a long time, and he didn't even hear the sound of the toeless man sucking water. After a long while, His Highness seemed to be being watched, blinked innocently, and turned his head sideways.

Her behavior was natural and generous, making Gu Chuan feel that her guesses were all her own dirty fantasies.

Gu Chuan raised his hand and touched the wound he felt, and found that there was still a little girl's aftertaste. And the wound has healed.

Saliva can disinfect the wound.

The girl may have done it for this reason. She may know this because she has been cared for by doctors for a long time, but will she know that men and women are not intimate?

Gu Chuan heard his own heartbeat uncontrollably, immersed in an extraordinary tension.

This nervousness made him feel extremely ashamed.

"Why are you laughing? Are you feeling better? ”

His Highness wondered.

In her opinion, this person really doesn't cherish his body! Isn't it stupid to keep your wounds there, but not to observe your own situation first? It's the same as wanting to hurt her before, but I ended up biting my lip, it's really stupid...... It's similar to those people she saw in the Prohibition Palace, kneeling for a day and a night, falling into long-term self-blame when things are messed up, and being scolded but not scolding back, but falling into depression by themselves.

Gu Chuan didn't know what the girl was thinking, but he was smiling.

Inexplicably, he felt that this was the best.

It's just that when he staggered and dragged his wet clothes to his feet, he couldn't help but shiver when the wind was chilling. So the weight of the water he felt in his body pulled him back into the unforgiving reality.

He hasn't really escaped from this horrible prison yet.

"Where are we now?"

Gu Chuan quickly entered the role and asked His Highness.

"I don't know, we're being swept here by the current."

His Royal Highness turned his head again, looked at Gu Chuan, and saw the slight flush on Gu Chuan's face, he felt cute, and smiled. But when she smiled, she couldn't help but feel that she was also a fool, and she would laugh inexplicably. She quickly stopped smiling. So Gu Chuan, who was looking around, didn't see it.

"Then we may have ended up in an underground cavern."

He said.

His Highness's lantern had been extinguished, and the entire cave was only the faint light of the glow that fell from the ceiling. For some reason, the filaments here are extremely dense, and you can see large areas of fireflies flying like wild bees.

The toeless man is swimming happily in the water. He seemed to have dive without a teacher, which made Gu Chuan secretly speechless.

The cave has depth, and if Gu Chuan wants to live, he has to explore. He called the toeless man up. The three of them slowly walked up from the cave.

"What do you mean by a cave underground?"

His Highness asked.

"It's like the underground cave we're in now, and generally the rock is a whole piece, and there will be no holes. But just like rats gnaw wood, rocks can be dissolved by water for a long time to form caves, which are called caves. ”

Gu Chuan explained:

"Maybe it used to be a waterway too, and the rock formations were dissolved by water in many parts. I now think that the underground buildings of Sunset City were also designed and built based on these caves. ”

He touched the rock wall, which was wet and seeping muddy water. The effects of the torrential rain have arrived here.

There are also bones buried in the soil on the ground, indicating that this is not a no-man's land, but someone has once arrived, which makes Gu Chuan hope of escape.

He groped his way forward by the glimmer of nature, but was stopped by the toeless man.

"What's wrong?"

"Friends! I saw something on the ground that wasn't, wasn't a corpse. ”

Toeless people have extremely strong night vision.

Gu Chuan followed the fingers of the toeless man, groped for the ground, and soon caught some unnatural creations like statues.

"It's probably left over from the previous ones."

Gu Chuan raised one of the statues high, making it more visible under the glow.

Soon, they saw that the statue was a person.

And this man's hands have no nails, carved like tentacles. Although it is worn out of shape, traces of its artificiality can be seen in the end.

"It's a ...... Statue of the Toeless Man. ”

Gu Chuan muttered.

And it's not made of any of the things that the people of Sunset City would use.
