287 underwater
Zheng Lei laughed self-deprecatingly, stretched out his hand to grab the frightened fish, knowing that he couldn't catch it, he still had to grab it, in order to relax his nervous mood.
On the top of the mountain, Liu Mei stood on the edge of the cliff, quietly looking at the waterhole below, where she had been waiting for a whole day, like a stone, motionless, not even blinking an eye.
She was waiting for Zheng Lei to get out of the water, and the long ribbon in her hand had been tightly clutched, just waiting for Zheng Lei to come out of the water, she would throw out the ribbon in her hand as soon as possible.
At this moment, Zheng Lei is groping under the water with hope, the situation on the water, he doesn't know at all that at the location where he fell into the water, there has been a search and rescue team that has put relevant equipment into the water, and has been salvaged three times and has not found the person who fell into the water, many tourists can't bear to continue to look at it, and slowly disperse.
Walking underwater, Zheng Lei is actually still very worried, I don't know how deep this is in the pool, and I don't know if there will be legendary water monsters or the like, even if there is not, it will be miserable if a behemoth suppresses him, such as the king of ten thousand years.
Because it was the bottom of the pool, Zheng Lei did not feel the flow of water during walking, and he walked relatively steadily, and after walking for a while, Zheng Lei suddenly felt that the water seemed to be flowing towards a certain place.
Feeling the flow of water, Zheng Lei was a little happy, closed his eyes and carefully felt the direction of the water flow, and then walked along the flow.
Under this dark pool, there is no sense of direction, Zheng Lei can only walk like a blind man, and the appearance of this water flow, undoubtedly a compass, pointed out a direction for Zheng Lei, no matter where the water flow goes, at least he has a fixed direction in the water, and will not go around in circles because he has lost his sense of direction.
I don't know why, the flower bone in his hand has become as big as a little finger, and it is tightly attached to his palm, if it weren't for that, he would have lost this thing from the fight just now.
After arriving at the bottom of the pool, Zheng Lei wanted to restore the lotus flower to its original size several times, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
As the flow of water became more and more obvious, Zheng Lei felt that the lotus bone in the palm of his hand was also regaining its size, as if all this was a sign to Zheng Lei, but in an extraordinary environment, he didn't have so much to think about.
Suddenly, Zheng Lei felt that he stepped on something under his feet, squatted down and took a look at the light emitted by the long sword in his hand, it was actually a piece of bone, judging from the shape of the bone, it should be a human arm bone.
Although he wasn't too afraid, Zheng Lei subconsciously took a step back.
"Your sister! How many people's names have been ruined in this pool? I guess these fish should have become sperm and eaten so much human flesh. Zheng Lei muttered quietly, and then continued to walk forward.
After walking a few steps, Zheng Lei stopped, and there was a doubt in his mind: Something is wrong, from the moment he felt the current, there were no more fish around him, even if there was a human corpse here, there shouldn't be only a piece of arm bone left, right? And this arm bone doesn't look like it's been soaked in water for a long time.
With doubts, Zheng Lei returned to the arm bone, picked up the arm bone and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Being underwater, the light was dim, and Zheng Lei couldn't see it very clearly, but his arms were relatively slender, not like a man's arm bones.
Looking at the arm bones, Zheng Lei suddenly remembered Nie Yuan, and couldn't help but say in his heart: This can't be Nie Yuan's arm bones, right?
He put the arm bone in the storage bag and continued to walk along the water flow, I don't know if this arm bone is Nie Yuan's, but just in case, it is better to keep it, it is really Nie Yuan's when the time comes, and he will have to come back to find it again.
The current is becoming more and more obvious, Zheng Lei feels that he is about to get out of this pool, but this exit should not be on the shore, it is very likely to lead to a strange place, because the temperature of this water flow is getting lower and lower.
As the speed of the water became faster and faster, Zheng Lei's speed of progress began to be affected, Leng Buding's eyes turned white, Zheng Lei hurriedly raised his hand to greet it, but grabbed a round thing, and put it in front of him to see that it was actually a skull.
"I'm rubbing! It's a human head, what am I doing here? Why do you keep meeting this thing along the way?
He didn't dare to throw this skull, he was not a forensic doctor, let alone a doctor, nor an archaeologist, he didn't have any research on human bones, just with such a skull, he couldn't tell whether it was a man's or a woman's skull, but this trip was to find Nie Yuan's corpse, and Lin Xi hadn't said to what extent Nie Yuan's corpse had been corrupted before, so he could only try his luck just in case.
At this moment, Zheng Lei has been walking underwater for nearly three days, and Liu Mei also feels that there is no hope for him to continue to wait, so he left here with full of disappointment, and the operation to capture Zheng Lei once again ended in failure.
It's just that the people who covet Zheng Lei are not only the people on Liu Mei's side, the current Shaohua Mountain, there are still a lot of cultivators, although there are people from the Huashan faction of the Quanzhen Sect who are here to contain the forces of all parties, but after all, it is only one faction, and it is impossible for the people of this faction to be dispatched because Zheng Lei alone is full of strength, so it is impossible to form a strong situation at all, if it is fought, Zheng Lei is still in a weak position.
Now Shaohua Mountain looks light on the surface, but secretly it is already tense, just waiting for Zheng Lei to appear as the fuse, it will fall into a chaotic situation.
There are many ordinary tourists who also feel that something is wrong and quietly leave.
In this undercurrent, there is once again a strange scene in people's field of vision, and the appearance of this strange scene makes all the tourists who are ready to leave full of curiosity, and they choose to stay in Shaohua Mountain again.
In the past two days, the small traders who do business in Shaohua Mountain are very happy, and the longer the tourists stay here, the more they can gain.
Underwater, Zheng Lei's speed is close to turtle speed, the more he goes inside, the greater the power of the current, Zheng Lei, who walks against the water, is struggling, if it weren't for the long sword in his hand, Zheng Lei would have been washed away by this water flow without a trace.
However, the more difficult it became, the more excited Zheng Lei's heart became, because it meant that the time for him to leave the bottom of this pool was getting closer and closer.
In addition to the surging undercurrent of Shaohua Mountain, in the forest sea outside, Lin Xi and Hu Xiaowan were also hurriedly shuttling through the woods, less than five hundred meters away from them, and several people were quietly following the two of them, these stalkers, Lin Xi and Hu Xiaowan had already found out, but they still pretended to be casual, on Lin Xi's side, there was another person, strictly speaking, "he" was not a person, but a charm, a stand-in for Zheng Lei.
