Chapter Ninety-Five: The First Discovery of the Treasure
The island in the middle of the lake, where the lake is located, is said to be an island, but it is only two feet square, and it is only two feet above the water. But for hundreds of years, the lake has never flooded the small hole in the center of the island, regardless of weather or flood.
This hole is more like a well. The diameter of the cave wall is only three feet, and it is a little difficult for adults to go down. Bai Ye got off the dinghy a few steps and walked to the cave, hesitated for a long time before grabbing the edge of the stone cave and looking tentatively inside.
To his surprise, the cave did not go straight down, but diagonally into the depths of the lake.
To his surprise, the water inside the cave was level with the lake outside. The dark water reflected his face, and there was always a mysterious suction that wanted to pull him down.
"Full?"
Long Wuji saw that his face was embarrassed, so he simply pulled him up and pressed him to the ground next to the cave.
"Afraid of water?"
"I ...... Can't swim. Not to mention diving. ”
Drilling a hole is such a thing, Bai Ye is not scared. The old town itself was built on the backs of a volcano that had been extinguished for many years, and there were countless dark holes that he loved to drill in and out of as a child.
But he didn't jump over the well. It is also a well connected to the sea.
"Is there really no other way?"
"Nope. Two hundred years have passed, and my Jiang family has tried many methods, and diving in is the only way. ”
Long Wuji blinked: "There are some things that have to be made clear to you in advance." The previous six generations of family heads tried a total of five times, but nothing came of it. Three of them should have been close, but for some reason, when they were pulled back by the rope wrapped around their waists, the people who went down to the lake had already been sucked dry, and the family judged that they had encountered this chaotic spiritual power similar to that in your body. The last two were tandem dives...... Both were deflated. ”
Xiao Langjun stroked his wet curly hair, sat leisurely next to the entrance of the cave and rested, listening to Long Wuji say such strange words as "both of them are deflated", and laughed out loud: "I don't blame you for this." Even the people on the island may not dare to go directly into such deep water. ”
Bai Ye's face did not improve because of Lang Jun's comfort, and he didn't even dare to look at the entrance of the cave.
Looking around, there is water all around. I don't know when the fog on the lake started, and the friends who were anxiously waiting on the shore couldn't see clearly.
"Lord Dragon. How far away have you ever been in the previous attempts?"
"The rope was released three hundred feet long and then stopped, and then pulled rapidly for a moment, indicating that it was close to the target. At least it's close to danger."
Bai Ye was completely stupid. Three hundred feet......
Xiao Langjun also looked at Long Wuji suspiciously for a long time.
If you go down before, will you be able to use the secret art of the water system?
The water system secret art is the rarest sect in the Eastern Continent, whether it is a pure-blooded descendant of the Western Continent or a half-blood group, almost no water spirit has ever appeared. Basically, only the remnants of the water elders who stayed in the island islands back then could truly fit the water spirit and control this kind of secret technique.
Water is the softest, but it is also the toughest. The further down the dive, the stronger the pressure will only be, at a depth of three hundred feet, what kind of pressure will people bear, even Xiao Langjun is a little unimaginable.
Bai Ye is not accustomed to water at all, and the things in his heart are naturally very different from Xiao Langjun. Don't say three hundred feet, three feet of water can drown yourself. But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a way to escape.
Even if he took 10,000 steps back, he didn't want others to go into the water for him and take treasure to continue his life. According to the emperor, unless this cave is a chaotic spirit, anyone who goes down will have no return.
"How long can you hold your breath?" Xiao Langjun blinked helplessly, "Try it now, I'll do the math." ”
Long Wuji immediately waved his hand: "If he needs to hold his breath, it will already be a failure." We have another way. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of equipment from the boat tied to the shore of the island, like a heavy coat.
Bai Ye recklessly reached out to take it, but almost flashed his waist. The inconspicuous-looking gray rucksack weighs the weight of an adult.
"Wear this, or you won't be able to dive at all. ”
What kind of identity is Long Wuji, in the limited few contacts, Bai Ye almost didn't dare to face his face. Now, the sonic boom Donglu's "Golden-Faced Killing God" actually helped him wear equipment without any shelf, and Xiao Ye was in a trance.
The heavy backpack took a lot of effort to put on, and it was easy to put it in order. Long Wuji dragged Bai Ye around twice, nodded with satisfaction, and gently patted a mechanism on his chest.
Kashiraya was startled by the soft white light that suddenly appeared. Uncle Dare opened the spiritual power wall on the backpack.
"The amplification circle inlaid with the crystal nucleus of the Heavenly Gull can avoid water. You kid care, don't suck the spiritual power of this circle. ”
Bai Ye's whole person was covered in a milky white halo, and he couldn't even see the outside scene clearly. The buoyancy he felt under his feet shocked him.
The tension emanating from this circle was too strong. The mask squeezed downward to make the stony ground rattle, and his whole body was almost pulled off the ground by his rucksack. What is rare is that even if the spiritual power emitted by the magic circle is so strong, the cover wall can still remain oval, and the range is firmly controlled about a foot above him, which is just slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole.
"Hey, this can be done!" Xiao Langjun stroked his hand and sighed, "The Heavenly Gull can indeed plunge into the sea water hundreds of feet deep to hunt with its ability. If you can think of this method, you can be considered talented. ”
Long Wuji coiled the rope with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "It's not us, this magic circle was made by the old elder fifty years ago. The Tianji Gull is far away from the depths of the ocean, and our Jiang family can't catch it. ”
Xiao Langjun laughed out loud: "No wonder, no wonder." Laughing and smiling, he was a little embarrassed, "Old Elder, this treasure is good." In comparison, the magic weapon I prepared for this kid is a little out of my hands. ”
Long Wuji ignored him, easily reached into the milky white light mask, and closed the magic circle on Bai Ye's chest. His right hand pressed on the shoulder of the young man who was rubbing his eyes: "In fifty years, this circle has been opened twice. The first two people who used it died. Hopefully, it's not more than three. ”
Wish?
Bai Ye seemed to have eaten a mouthful of flies, and he was a little out of breath.
"These little boxes on the rucksack contain algae powder. Gently press down on the lid and a special gas will be released. Try not to move too much underwater, don't be nervous, and breathe slowly. I feel like I'm really holding my breath, so I'll press here again. The air emitted will be in the spiritual power cover wall, and it can't be dispersed, but you can't breathe too many times. Got it?"
The more Uncle Long chattered, the more Bai Ye understood that this killing god was actually suppressing his nervousness.
Gorou-kun watched from the side for a long time, and finally became a little impatient. Staggered over and hung a necklace made of black round shells around Kashiraya's neck.
"My anti-stress magic weapon is not as good as the old elder's, so I won't sacrifice ugliness. This one is up to you. Every 100 counts...... Uh, no, every fifty counts, you can bite one, and your own compressed air comes out. Pinch out the twenty shells, and then use the small box of Lord Dragon. But you have to calculate the time of the return trip, so you can only stay longer, so don't waste it too much. ”
Bai Ye hesitantly touched the necklace, and Long Wuji beside him smiled slightly: "Wulangjun gave you all your own things, but you have to think of him well." ”
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, Gorou-kun quickly stroked his hair, and turned his head pretending to be chic: "It's not a rare object, everyone on my island has it." ”
"Remember to spit out shells. ”
After the last battle on the school field, Gorou-kun's impression of Kashiraya has changed. Knowing that Bai Ye and they would also go down to Quanzhou with the Lan State Navy of His Royal Highness to defend against the enemy, he agreed more.
Although there was still a trace of unconvince and resentment in his heart, the old elder had made it clear that Bai Ye was the main one. On this expedition, Xiao Langjun should actually be regarded as Bai Ye's rule.
Now this kid is going to take such a risk, if there is any accident, he will not forgive himself without being punished by the elders.
But this thought, Gorou-kun will not show on his face no matter what. Seeing that he was almost ready, he began to urge.
Bai Ye can't water, and people who stand at the entrance of the cave are stiff. Long Wuji was ruthless and stuffed him headfirst into the hole with his own hands.
Watching Xiao Ye slowly sink wrapped in a milky white light mask, Long Wuji and Gorou-kun tacitly put the rope, and their hearts sank.
The hole is straight and deep.
As soon as the head entered the water, the whole body was not in decline, and Bai Ye's whole body was naturally pinched together. It took him a while to get used to it.
Unlike the previous times he had fallen into the water, his body and face were dry.
That's good.
The spiritual power cover wall can really avoid water. Even if Bai Ye's palm occasionally poked out the range of the halo to pick at the cave wall to borrow strength, there would be no lake water seeping into the range of spiritual power.
The white light emitted by the cover wall is also a good lighting source, and Bai Ye can clearly see that the stone cave wall is full of burn marks, like charred black glass.
There weren't many places to grasp on the smooth stone walls, and Kashiraya kept Uncle Long's words in mind, trying to restrain his movements and glide down as smoothly as possible. It is estimated that I walked down more than fifty feet diagonally, and I have already adapted a little.
But the further down you "go", the dimmer the light becomes. Gradually, he felt that something was wrong. It took another half a day to react, and it was the halo that darkened the wall. And the milky white halo has shrunk a lot, and it is only half a foot away from his skin.
An indescribable strangeness enveloped Kashiami. He began to feel tightness in his chest, his breathing was a little difficult, and he even felt more and more pressure all over his body.
The further down he went, the more intense the pressure became, and slowly he felt very sticky even when he stretched out his hand, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in a thick mud.
Bai Ye forced himself to calm down, stopped all movements, and let himself sink with the weight,
The thin white halo was already attached to his face. Every inch of skin was squeezed into shape. The spiritual power in Bai Ye's body naturally became active, resisting the external pressure. Every pore seems to be burning like a pinprick.
If this continues, I'm afraid that before it ends, people will be squeezed to death. Bai Ye was really scared.
What went wrong?
Didn't Uncle Long say that this thing can withstand pressure...... How far is this, and the wall is deflated?
It's hard to breathe, everything is not at your disposal, and it's not a good sign that your physical strength is quickly depleted. Bai Ye gritted his teeth, and with great difficulty, he pulled the rope tied to his waist and pulled it three times in a row. Counted ten, then pulled three more.
This is the agreed way. He's going back.
After that, there was a long wait. He didn't know how long it would take for the movement on the rope to reach Uncle Long and Gorou-kun.
He could only wait quietly.
In the dark,
The whole body waited stiffly.
Circle,
It's already extinguished.
