Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Sand Diving Plan
Mo Qi's first reaction when she woke up was to grab the water that Nie Jianfeng had placed beside her in advance, and drank it in a big gulp, still out of breath, and looked shocked.
"I'm scared to death, so many cats, it's really ......" she wiped her lips and said to Nie Jianfeng, "There is indeed a dungeon below, but if you want to go down, you have to prepare an oxygen tank." ”
"Little chess ......," Wang Shuo, who had not been noticed at all, shouted embarrassedly.
Mo Qi found out that Wang Shuo and Tan Ju had come, and his eyes glanced at the silver whistle on Wang Shuo's chest, which was a birthday gift she gave him, and it was still hanging in this GSG that could not carry personal belongings, it seemed that he had done some work, especially he cared so much, there was a trace of joy in his eyes, but his tone was as calm as he had expected, "You guys are here, just right, let's think about how to get to the end together." ”
Seeing that she didn't want to complain to them at all, it seemed that she hadn't been wronged at all, as if she had gone out for a while, and now they came to pick her up, Wang Shuo's heart was completely relieved.
Nie Jianfeng asked, "What do you mean when you say you want to prepare an oxygen tank?"
"Underneath this large area of quicksand are underground rivers that lead to these quicksand terrains, and through the rivers there is a hole at the bottom that leads to an underground palace. The indication on the map is the location of the palace. To get there, you need to have an oxygen tank. ”
Hakumashi looked at Tranquility in amazement, "I didn't expect there to be a palace under this desert. ”
Tranquility shrugged, "I'm still thinking that the school is so stingy this time, it only covers a desert, and it looks like the funds are all used for the final destination, and it seems that this end is the finale." ”
Mo Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If you have seen the things in the dungeon, you will understand how wonderful this finale is." ”
Even Nie Jianfeng was a little panicked: "What is there down here?"
Bai Maxiao interjected, "Is it a lot of cat faces?"
Mo Qi blushed and said embarrassedly, "Of course it won't be something of this magnitude......"
Bai Maxiao asked inexplicably, "But didn't you wake up yelling 'a lot of cat faces'?
Mo Qi's face turned even redder and scolded, "It's just for me! It's far more terrifying for you than just these cats!"
"So you're afraid of cats?" Bai Maxiao still couldn't believe that such a woman would be afraid of cats.
Tranquility seemed to understand something, and asked tentatively, "Is it because of the legend of the 'Cat's Nine Lives'?"
Mo Qi lowered her head, not knowing what to say, after all, this was her weakness.
Nie Jianfeng said, "That's not a legend. Cats do have this strange spirituality. They are born to see the soul, and when they see the soul, they will chase, once they are pounced on by it, they will be forcibly occupied, and coexist with the cat's soul, every time the cat dies, the soul occupied by it will dissipate and reincarnate, thus blocking the cat's death. That's why it's said that cats have nine lives. ”
Hakumashi was already surprised and asked, "What about the legends about cats......"
"I'm afraid that most of them are true, those souls occupied by cats in addition to the death of cats, when cats coincidentally cross over the corpse, they can also borrow corpses to resurrect their souls and escape, but they still retain some of the habits of cats, becoming half-human and half-cat. Some of the reincarnation of cats comes from this. So it's understandable that a spirit master like Mo Qi is afraid of cats, and once the soul is seen by a cat, it is equivalent to facing the risk of imprisonment, and perhaps worse. ”
"I see, next time you offend me, I'll let the cat bite you!" Bai Ma Xiaomao suddenly opened, as if he had caught Mo Qi's sore feet.
Mo Qi's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "I can strangle you without using spiritual arts, and then bury you and your cat together." ”
"Oh, you're really, the cat is so cute, how can you do it. Hakuma enjoyed the process of teasing her.
"Without further ado, we need to know how to go down. Nie Jianfeng glared at him, his hand had already begun to touch the sword, so frightened that Bai Maxiao quickly covered his mouth and flashed to the side.
Mo Qi looked at Ning Jing and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that this time it will depend on us girls." ”
Tranquility didn't know why, but quickly knew what she meant, "You mean, Psicos?"
Mo Qi nodded and made a bi
Go's gesture, "Now it is an obstacle for us to get underground, except for the underground river, which is this quicksand. If we dig down, the quicksand around us will soon fill in again, and we won't be able to dig a hole for ten years, so we have to 'drill' into it. ”
Wang Shuo also understood what she meant, "You mean to find someone to take the lead in digging the hole, and the people behind will use the spirit silk technique to pull it in?"
Mo Qi gave a thumbs up, "Yes, it's like driving a train." Senior Tan Ju, can you do it?"
Tan Ju hugged his arms and said without raising his head, "If it's just you and Lao Wang, I'll have no problem." ”
The implication was that he was unwilling to cooperate, although Mo Qi and Wang Shuo both agreed to cooperate with the seventh group, but for Tan Ju, who had been hostile from the beginning, since Mo Qi had returned, there was no need to cooperate with them.
Without waiting for the seventh group to speak, Wang Shuo first said in a heartfelt voice, "Now we must cooperate with them, not for them, but also for ourselves." Unlike in the past, this time we're not just about winning for honor, it's about surviving, isn't it?"
Tan Ju didn't expect Wang Shuo to say this, his tone was full of confusion, "How can you be senior...... Is it possible to give up honor in order to survive?"
Wang Shuo smiled and said: "Giving up your honor for the life of your companion is the greatest honor, isn't it?"
Tan Ju understood what he meant, even if he was not for himself, he had to be a senior, for a small chess, now he is no longer an independent individual, but a community with the people he cares about.
"I don't know if it's going to work, but I can give it a try. ”
Seeing that he had let go of his estrangement, everyone smiled, as if he had not yet dived into the sea of sand, but had already passed a great difficulty.
"In order to maximize my strength, my plan is this. Mo Qi pointed at them and said, "First of all, tie me to Senior Tan Ju's back, Tranquility to Brother Shuo's back, and the little white horse to the back of the belly black sword." I used a ribbon to pull Brother Shuo in the front, Tranquility and Brother Shuo in the middle, Tranquility used a ribbon to pull the belly black sword, and the belly black sword and the little white horse at the end, so that there was strength between the three groups. ”
Such a bundle distribution seems to be the most reasonable, but there are still some ignorant people who have doubts.
Bai Maxiao's question was, why not tie all five people together and let the two ribbons of Tranquility and Mo Qi go to hold Tan Ju.
But he was soon scolded as an idiot, because the force area of five people tied together is too large, which is undoubtedly a lot more difficult for people who dig holes underground to drive trains, and the smallest scheme with similar volume from beginning to end is a two-by-two group, and six people are divided into three groups.
But he still had questions, "Wouldn't it be nice if all six of them were tied together?" ”
"In this way, the focus of the output is all on one person, which is not advisable in terms of physical exertion and travel speed. ”
And the question of tranquility is, can you change the human tie......
Everyone's faces were covered with black lines, especially Nie Jianfeng, who covered his face in embarrassment and was speechless for a while.
It was concluded that a rookie like Bai Ma Xiao must be the queen of the palace, and it just so happened that Nie Jianfeng and he could be tied together to take care of him, and Tranquility was the second output point, which was the best in the middle, and it was difficult to change this position.
Tranquility said, "Wouldn't it be good to let Wang Shuo take care of the white horse?"
She really still wanted to be tied to Nie Jianfeng.
Looking at everyone looking at him like nymphomaniacs, Tranquility knew that his mind was seen through, and his face was flushed.
Although it is indeed a bit unreasonable for the members of her own family to ask people from other groups to take care of her, in view of Tranquility's personality and her special status in the "train", and Wang Shuo also said that men and women do not kiss, so she still let her and Nie Jianfeng tie together, Wang Shuo and Bai Maxiao at the end.
The problem of grouping is solved, and the next question is the time to hold your breath.
Mo Qi said, "Dig about twenty or thirty meters down from the sand to enter the underground river, and after more than a hundred meters, you can enter the cave and find the underground palace." ”
Tan Ju thought for a while, "That is to say, I have to dig a hole for thirty meters, and I have to dive for a hundred meters, counting my maximum strength and the weight of the five of you, although there is a spirit silk technique that can be reduced, but it will take at least ten minutes." ”
Ten minutes is already beyond the limits of normal human beings for this kind of work, but it is still too long from the perspective of breath-holding, and it is almost impossible to be exact.
Nie Jianfeng thought for a moment and said, "The sleeping bag can be used." ”
Bai Maxiao looked at Mo Qi's sleeping bag on the ground and nodded, "Although this sleeping bag is not waterproof, it can prevent sand, and the quality is also good." ”
Nie Jianfeng said, "This kind of sleeping bag can be sealed, although I don't know if it can be waterproof, but it can fight for a little oxygen for us." ”
Wang Shuo frowned, "This sleeping bag can only play some auxiliary role in the quicksand, and when you get to the water, you can only rely on yourself." ”
Tan Ju didn't care, he was ready to dig the pit, "The quicksand is the most troublesome, at least seven of the ten minutes are in the quicksand, don't underestimate my water nature." ”
When Bai Ma Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but have a bitter face, "Three minutes of breath-holding is enough!"
Tranquility had already begun to prepare the sleeping bag, and when she heard him say this, she didn't look back, and said very normally: "If you die, we will remember your contribution, after all, we helped us carry the supplies here." Besides, it's not a shame to die at the end, I'll apply for your spiritual seat to be placed in Valhalla. ”
Bai Maxiao's face is full of black lines, but he can't have a seizure, after all, he is completely a lying to win in this game, and in retrospect, he didn't help him along the way, that is, he helped carry supplies, and he didn't have as much as a camel, so he really didn't even have a camel.
Everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and always feels that the biggest enemy has not yet appeared, and the sea of sand in front of them is like an endless road to the Yellow Spring.
