Chapter 191: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
I immediately took Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang and cautiously approached the position where they were standing just now, but this place was empty, and the three of them didn't know where they had fallen.
You must know that there is no wall around the position they were standing just now, and it is absolutely impossible for them to fall into the wall, it must be a problem underground.
I immediately shifted my gaze to the ground, carefully shining my flashlight on the floor tiles, checking every detail and corner.
My eyes quickly fell on one of the cracks in the floor tiles, and it was obvious that something was stuck in the joint between the tiles.
I took it out with a dagger, and there was clearly a corner of the clothes stuck in it, and I was also familiar with the fabric of this clothes, which was the black robe with gold embroidery that Zhuge chalcedony wore on his body before.
"It was Zhuge chalcedony left, it seems that they touched the mechanism and fell below."
It's just that I can't figure it out, we're standing in this place, but we haven't activated the mechanism, what the hell did they just come across?
Just when I was wondering, Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang also walked to my side, squatted down and followed me curiously to check the situation.
But in the next second, I suddenly felt that the soles of my feet were empty, and before I could react, I fell straight down.
"What's going on?"
My eyes were dark, and I only heard Cui Hao scolding angrily beside me, and Wang Wenyang yelled at us.
"Hold your head and curl up as much as you can when you fall, and form yourself into a ball, so that you can better slow down the damage."
After he shouted this, a few of us had already fallen dozens of meters.
My heart sank, and I fell down in such a way that once we landed on the ground, we would have to fall to our deaths.
I'm not one to sit still, and I can't die in this place, and I can even fulfill my grandfather's long-cherished wish.
I immediately reached into my waist, and here I also had the hook they gave us earlier, if we were not in a lot of space, maybe we could use the hook to grab the wall on the side edge, give us some resistance, and slow down our downward trend.
"What about the hook you have on you?"
I yelled at the two of them to take things out and hold on to the wall to slow down the fall.
The two of them obeyed me, and immediately took out their hooks from their waists and threw them aside.
My heart was beating like a drum, and I was holding my breath in my throat, almost out of breath. I flicked my arm hard and grabbed my hook to the side, hoping to catch something, at least not to let us fall to our deaths.
Suddenly, I felt a pull in my hand, and it was obvious that my hook had caught something. I quickly turned to the side and stumbled upon a person next to me.
"Don't move, my claws are on the wall, you hold me now, don't let go."
I shouted this, and I didn't know who was staying with me now, just thinking that I could save one by one.
Wang Wangyang's response soon came from beside me.
"Okay, I've got you."
The two of us were still falling, and I quickly tightened my hooks, which contracted and hung us in mid-air, and the two of us finally stopped falling any further.
"Cui Hao, where are you?"
I looked around and tried to get a response from Cui Hao, but Wang Wangyang took out a flashlight and irradiated it around.
At this time, we were in a deep well-like place, surrounded by a circular ring-shaped space, similar to the bottom of the well, but it was much larger than the bottom of the well, and I guess the diameter was at least six or seven meters wide.
It was also the luck of me and Wang Wangyang that my dog's paw was inadvertently thrown out and grabbed the nearest arched wall.
The drop was almost in the center, and if we hadn't happened to catch the bulge in the wall, we would have fallen by now.
"Look down, let me see the depth below."
At this time, I couldn't hear Cui Hao's response at all, so I could only urge Wang Wangyang to shine down with a flashlight to see if Cui Hao had fallen.
My heart sank, he followed me here, I didn't expect to encounter danger several times, if I really die here, I will not have a good time for the rest of my life.
Wang Wangyang immediately aimed the flashlight below, but after seeing the reflection below, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's water down there, and this place is really a well."
I saw that about ten meters under our feet, it was clearly the water surface reflecting the light, and the reason why Cui Hao didn't make a sound should have fallen under the water.
We were both in a hurry to grab the wall with our hooks, so we were all focused on the claws in our hands, and neither of us noticed the sound below.
Cui Hao may have fallen into the water below just now, and then disappeared.
"Cui Hao, can you hear my voice?"
I shouted loudly below, but there was no response from him, and it was still quiet below, except for the occasional sound of water, which would ring in our ears.
"The sound of water?"
If the water below cannot flow, then it is absolutely impossible for them to make a sound, and if there is a sound, then the water must not be stagnant.
Wang Wangyang and I glanced at each other and saw him in each other's eyes.
"Go down?"
I asked Wang Wangyang's opinion, he nodded and then let go of his hand, and his body fell straight down.
Mine slowly lowered the hook down, and gradually descended dozens of meters down to the surface of the water.
Wang Wangyang's voice rang out to my right.
"There's a very fast current down there, I don't know how it's maintained, but there's no sign of it on the surface. I was almost swept away by the water, and it was clear that a few of them had been swept away somewhere else. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief as I removed the end of the hook and secured it to the edge of the wall.
In this way, when we return to swim up the same way as we came later, we can crawl up with our hooks, and maybe we can return to the burial chamber just now.
I have to leave myself a way back, and I can't gamble on my luck.
When everything was done, I took a deep breath and jumped into the water. It's so cold under the water that I can't help but shiver.
Wang Wangyang was very good at water, and soon swam to my side, he wiped a handful of water from his face, and pointed to our feet.
"It's down there, should we go down?"
I nodded, staying in here, and it would be better to follow the current below to find an outlet and see where the few of them went.
Seeing that I agreed, Wang Wangyang asked me to take a deep breath, and then grabbed my arm and dived down quickly.
It was dark underwater, I couldn't see what was going on, our flashlights were swaying under the water, and the impact of the current was bigger than I had imagined. The splash almost slammed me against the wall, and I couldn't move directly against the rock wall.
I breathed a sigh of relief, sped up my speed and dived down, and sure enough, I soon felt a huge impact of the water, which pushed me and Wang Wangyang forward.
The two of us were powerless to resist, so we were forced to float forward with the current.
After dozens of seconds of submersion underwater, I already felt that my abdominal cavity began to lack oxygen, and even had pinprick-like pain.
But I didn't dare to speak, and if I choked on the water at this time, then I would wait to die under the water.
Wang Wangyang grabbed my arm, and his body temperature passed down the place where our skin touched, which also made me feel a little relieved.
I swallowed my saliva, relaxed as much as I could, and drifted forward with the impact of the current, until finally there was a splash around us, and then my body was hit by the splash on the riverbank.
I breathed heavily, and there was finally fresh air around me. Wang Wangyang hurriedly rushed to my side and gently patted me on the back.
"Are you alright, little prince?"
I nodded, I'm really not very good at swimming, especially holding my breath is enough, but Wang Wangyang seems to be quite good at water, so his face is not red and his heart is not beating at this time, and he obviously has a comfortable expression.
I quickly picked up the bracelet that was tightly wrapped around my arm and radiated it around me, looking around and looking at every nook and cranny.
I soon saw a figure on the other side of the river, lying on the ground in all directions, fainting.
I hurriedly rushed over and quickly shone a flashlight on this person's face, but unfortunately it was not Cui Hao I was expecting, but a person I didn't want to see.
"Zhuge chalcedony, it's you."
He was still unconscious, unable to answer my questions. And the two men beside him were also gone, and I don't know where they were hit by the splash.
My heart sank, I didn't care about Zhuge chalcedony, and hurriedly took a flashlight and turned around on this river beach.
The space here is not small, about hundreds of square meters, but at the edge of this riverbank, I have never found Cui Hao.
After searching for two rounds to no avail, I finally recognized the fact that Cui Hao was not pushed ashore by the current with us at all.
My eyes couldn't help but heat up, if so, it would prove that Cui Hao was pushed away by the turbulent water, maybe he was pushed somewhere by the water.
I almost suffocated in the water just now, and if Cui Hao continued to drift down the water for such a long time, he might have died underwater.
When I thought of Cui Hao leaving me like this, my heart was filled with guilt.
Wang Wangyang was a little calmer than me, and after following me around, he was already squatting beside Zhuge Chalcedony, helping him press his chest and perform artificial respiration.
"Ahem, ahem."
Zhuge Chalcedony let out a light cough, and he slowly opened his eyes.
