Chapter 101: Underwater Caves
The mute muttered to himself in the middle of the night, and it made me feel like an opportunity.
But after all, I'm not really his accomplice, and I don't speak the local language. I want him to believe in me. And it's very difficult to provide me with information. So I just quietly followed him to see what he was going to do.
After walking along the path for a while, the mute man. Walk directly from the bushes to the edge of the island.
Strange, what did he run to the beach for?
I'm afraid he'll hear someone following him and run away.
Then I missed the opportunity, so I hid behind a tree and didn't dare to move.
The mute didn't notice anyone being followed, and he went down to the scattered reef by the sea, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Did the dumb man jump into the sea?" although there was a little moonlight in the sky. But after all, my field of vision is limited, and I can't see the real situation below. Therefore, he did not care about concealing himself, and hurried through the miscellaneous trees on the shore. Jump on the shore too.
At this time, although there is no wind, there is a rhythmic sound of crashing on the shore. to a certain extent to cover up my movements, but at the same time. It also made me lose the trace of dumbness.
"Where can he go!" people instinctively struggle when they are drowning. I looked out to sea for a while, but there was no splash, and I couldn't help but wonder.
That's when it happened. Suddenly, I noticed a glimmer of light coming out of the sea.
"How can there be candlelight in the sea? Then look around the light. I want to find a way to get a light source.
This led me to discover a hidden cave.
The cave is located below the island near the surface of the sea, like a mussel shell opening its mouth and a large slit. If the tide is high, the flat hole will be flooded by the sea.
It's time for the tide to fall, so the hole is revealed.
And it was from the cave that the light reflected off the surface of the sea. I found out.
"The dumb man must have gone into the cave!" I understood.
"Has he been hiding in this cave for the past two days? But as soon as the sea rises and the cave is submerged, how does he live?"
I thought to myself. He tiptoed towards the edge of the cave.
When I leaned down and looked into the low cave, I was amazed and delighted by what was going on inside.
The cave was not as I had imagined, but a simple part of the reef jutting out into the sea, with a large bulging dome inside. The cave protrudes more than ten meters into the interior of the island, forming a small underground lake. At the edge of the lake, near the base of the island, there is a large pile of rocks that form a steep slope, and there seems to be a platform high above sea level, so that even if the sea tide floods the cave entrance, there is a lot of room in the cave to leave the water.
What I didn't expect was that I saw a wooden dinghy in the cave.
This discovery for me is no less than Sun Wukong's discovery of the Water Curtain Cave.
But I immediately became vigilant.
Who is living on this island?
Why is there a small boat hidden in such a hidden place?
Thinking of the mute man with his tongue cut out, and the rifle in Cui Mingren's hand, I had a hint of foreboding in my heart.
"Could it be that this island is a stronghold of the gang?"
