What is hidden under the sand can only be seen with clairvoyance.
I scanned the water surface with several flashlights, but still found nothing.
Strangely enough, the thin layer of mist on the water surface didn't look very dense, but it made it impossible to see anything beneath the water surface.
After a while, someone finally had the courage to say, "Why don't you try going into the water?"
"But we didn't bring diving protection equipment this time, and I don't know if the fog and things underwater are poisonous."
Not bringing diving protection equipment is not a mistake. After all, this time we came to the desert. Who would have thought that we could encounter a river underground.
"We've been by the river for a while, and I haven't felt any discomfort. There should be no problem. I am good at water and can hold my breath for a long time. I can..."
Before the team member could say the word "go down", Hu Zi, who had been silently at the end of the team and responsible for breaking up the rear, suddenly said: "Be careful!"
This caution was addressed to the person closest to the river.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand suddenly and pulled the person back.
The man was dragged back several steps, still a little confused.
But when he saw a small wet handprint on the place where he originally stood, he suddenly started to sweat all over his body.
If he hadn't been pulled back just now, the handprint would probably not have been on the ground, but on his ankle.
It is not impossible to be suddenly pulled into the water without warning.
There is a difference between knowing how to swim and being suddenly dragged into the water.
The former is prepared and will be able to do so naturally in the water.
But if you are dragged into the water unprepared, your first reaction when you get into the water is to struggle. If there is something nearby that causes trouble, it is not impossible to drown like this.
"Brother, thank you so much!"
Huzi waved his hand in response to the gratitude on his face, "You're welcome."
"Did you discover anything just now?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were staring at the water and the small handprint that appeared on the shore, and they couldn't help but look at Huzi.
"That thing moved too fast." Huzi met Jiang Lingxi's gaze and shook his head in shame, "From the moment I noticed the movement in the water to when I pulled the person back, I didn't see the shadow of the thing at all. However, , there seemed to be two green lights.”
Jiang Lingxi felt her heart skip a beat, "Green light? Are you sure it's green light?"
Huzi was silent for a moment, but nodded, "Yes, those two green lights..." He said when he saw the night vision binoculars on one of the team members, and stretched out his hand, "When I shined my flashlight over it, That’s pretty much it.”
Jiang Lingxi first glanced at the night vision telescope pointed at him, and then returned to the water, her expression becoming more and more serious.
"Actually, I made another discovery last night, but I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure about it. I wonder if you still remember the first inn we entered. At that time, behind the screen, I also saw a pair of fleeting green eyes. The eyes are quite fast. But Huzi also saw it just now, so it must not be my illusion."
As soon as these words were said, everyone suddenly felt that the temperature around them suddenly dropped a lot.
Green eyes, could they be human?
Besides, it’s impossible for anyone to live in this place!
No, to be precise, this kind of place is not suitable for both animals and plants.
After all, animals need food and plants need sunlight.
There is nothing in this land.
But what was the creature with green eyes that I saw twice?
One person may be dazzled, but two people cannot be dazzled.
This is simply inconsistent!
Yunyi: "Is it possible that that thing is a guardian beast?"
Changning: "Guardian beast?"
"Didn't we speculate before that this was a large tomb? I read in the book that some large tombs will raise some guardian beasts to prevent outsiders from intruding."
"What book did you read?"
""Tomb Robber's Diary", a book."
Changning: "..."
The speechlessness on Chang Ning's face was not concealed, and Yun Yi reluctantly muttered: "Art comes from reality."
This time Chang Ningli ignored her.
Because she saw Jiang Lingxi squatting down and about to reach out to touch the still wet little handprint.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Xi!"
Just when Jiang Lingxi's hand was only a few millimeters away from the small handprint, a small hand that was so pale that there was no trace of blood suddenly shot out from under the mist-filled water like lightning, aiming directly at Jiang Lingxi's wrist.
But this time Jiang Lingxi was well prepared. At the moment when the little hand was about to be grasped, he turned his wrist and held the little hand with his gloved hand.
There was a sudden intake of breath from behind.
Jiang Lingxi originally thought about pulling the thing out of the water, but she underestimated how slippery the little thing was.
The soft little palm in her hand suddenly seemed to have no bones, and when she tried to pull it up, it slipped out.
It disappeared completely under the water without even splashing.
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
Is this a loach?
However, her attack this time was not without gain.
Opening her palms, in addition to the water stains on her gloves from her previous movements, there was now a vermilion braided rope in her palms, with a small bead strung on the rope.
This was taken off the little hand she just had.
There is nothing special about the braided rope. The braiding method is very common. The beads on it look like ordinary beads. But if you turn it over, you will see a 'swastika' mark engraved on the other side.
This made her think of Wujue instantly.
Moreover, this braided rope looks very new at first glance, and does not look like it is old at all.
"Chang Ning, come here."
Changning hurriedly approached, "Are you okay, Sister Xi?"
"It's okay." Jiang Lingxi showed her the red string, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Chang Ning looked at the wet red rope in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened, "I, of course I know him. This is my teacher... This is unconscious. This is a little habit of his. Sister Xi, look at this bead. The 'swastika' seal engraved on it is a symbol of good luck, but to him it also means harmlessness. This shows..."
At this point, she got stuck, took another deep breath, and then continued: "This shows that the thing just now is harmless and may even help us."
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
Everyone was listening attentively: "..."
Yun Yi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wujue, are you sure you are not tied wrongly?"
Then he was glared at by Chang Ning.
"Although it is his habit to tie red rope, he is not able to tie it to everyone."
"Now, go into the water and find that little guy? Maybe you can lead the way for us?"
Jiang Lingxi handed the red rope in her hand to Chang Ning and tightened her cuffs at the same time, "Get into the water!"
Since we are going around on land, why not explore the way in the water.
