Lin Yi turned around, slowly approached the lake, and shined a flashlight into the lake.
The lake water has slowly settled down and returned to its previous clear state.
When the light is turned on, it looks like a piece of sapphire glass.
The reflected light is very dazzling.
After my eyes adjusted, I looked down and saw that the "big fish" just now was gone.
The water area of more than 200 square meters cannot hide such a behemoth.
This is not common sense at all!
Lin Yi lay down by the lake and observed carefully before he realized that the lake didn't look big, but in fact it was surprisingly large.
The position they are currently in is just at the mouth of the lake. The position under their feet is suspended above the lake. In fact, the lake is already under their feet.
"Old Lin, what's going on?"
Lin Yi stood up with his hands on the ground and patted the gravel on his hands.
"This place is an urn mouth. It doesn't look big, but the area of water underneath is amazing."
"That thing must have been attracted by the smell of blood on their bodies!"
Wang Qiang asserted.
"Okay now, let's lure this thing out. Seeing that there are so many live baits here, I must go back and ask people to prepare for a dinner party here."
"Afraid of the eggs? Come on, I'll kill them one by one and make them grilled fish."
Huzi argued not to be outdone.
"You? Go and stay where you are to cool off. When you go into the water, you don't know who will take care of whom? Besides, can you swim?"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Ma Wenhai laughed and clapped:
"Okay, okay, internal strife, right? Great!"
"What's the matter with you? Why is there internal strife? I never said I was with them, stop talking nonsense."
"you!!!"
"What am I?"
"Everyone, everyone, please say a few words. Now that we are blocked, we should work together to find a solution. Continuing internal friction will not help.
Boss Lin, and this gentleman who I don’t know what to call him, both of you are masters. You have to show everyone a clear way out. Otherwise, if we call the sky now, the sky will not respond, and we call the earth, the earth will not work. There is something like this waiting for you under the water. We have to find a way to get out of here. "
It was Lao Feng who came forward in time to stop the dispute.
Wang Qiang pulled Lin Yi aside, and several people gathered around to discuss countermeasures.
"What to do now?"
"I think we should stick to the old method. I'll go up to the wall and drill nails, and we'll walk from the top, avoiding the water. We don't even know if this thing under the water is one or a nest. We can't help it when it goes down to the water. Well, it’s safer to go up there!”
"I think what the elder brother said makes sense. The underwater situation is complicated. We also saw the size of that thing just now. That big-mouthed guy would lose half of my body in one bite. It's too dangerous and not worth the risk. risk.
Lulu, what do you think? "
Bai Lu is the best swimmer among them. She is good at swimming and diving.
But this time I came out without any equipment, mainly because no one could have imagined that I would actually have to go into the water in the northwest.
Besides, the origin of this giant beast in the water is still unclear.
"Third brother is right. To be on the safe side, let's go on the road. Brother Qiang, what do you think?"
"Me? I don't have a problem with it, there are just people waiting to take advantage of us."
Wang Qiang glanced sideways at the man in sunglasses, Ma Wenhai and others next to him.
"It's too small, man, it's too small!"
Lao Feng didn't know when he appeared behind them.
"What's too small?"
"The layout is too small. Think about it. If your plan succeeds, can the cannon nails on this wall be pried out again?"
Speaking of this, Lao Feng lowered his voice:
"There are plenty of opportunities to rectify them, but not now. You are now in a very subtle three-legged relationship. When this relationship is really about to be broken, it is the time to really break up and see the real deal."
"It's all about this, the three pillars are all here."
Just as Wang Qiang was about to yell, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to hold him down.
"Uncle Feng is right. With the current situation, it is indeed not the best time to make a move. We must remain calm before Sunglasses shows his trump card."
After that, he reached out and took out a loop of paracord from his backpack and hung it on his body.
When I came to the mountain wall, I estimated the distance and length, and a "scorpion climbing the wall upside down" jumped and stuck to the wall.
Everyone present was caught off guard by this kung fu show.
Huzi had a "fight" with Lin Yi, but it was only a contest of strength.
The move he showed just now was absolutely amazing.
These people who had never seen the world couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss Lin, what a handsome man!"
Even Lao Feng sincerely praised it.
Lin Yi found a foothold on the wall, fixed his body, and when he took out the tools, he found that he seemed to have simplified the problem.
This rock is so fragile that you can break off a piece with your bare hands without using any equipment.
Moreover, the cross-section of the rock is very smooth and smooth, and the edges seem to have been polished, thin and sharp.
Rock mass like this is not suitable for cannon nails at all.
Even if it is driven in, the entire rock wall will collapse with a little force, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing Lin Yi jump down from above again, everyone gathered around him.
"What's going on? You came down here without doing anything?"
Lin Yi handed them the rock he broke off with his bare hands.
"Why are the rock masses here like this?"
Bai Lu took the stone in her hand, looked at it, and said:
“This is called sheet peeling phenomenon, and there are many reasons for its formation, but judging from the conditions here, it should be the large temperature difference between day and night that forms this unique mountain structure.
Under this structure, stability cannot be provided at all, so we have to find another way. "
I thought it was the safest way, but unexpectedly, it couldn't be realized.
"Is it possible that we can only go and have a try in the water? How is that different from feeding fish?"
Lin Yi put the equipment back in his backpack and glanced at the man in sunglasses by the lake.
This guy has been standing by the lake from the beginning to the end, staring at the lake, not knowing what he is thinking.
"We've been making trouble together for a long time, but it still doesn't work?"
Seeing that they had returned without success, Ma Wenhai began to mock again.
"You can do it? Come on then!"
"Me? I am self-aware. If I can't do it, I won't speak up. Unlike some people who know that they can't do it but still insist on standing out."
"Yes, if you don't want to stand out, you will only be a tortoise. One, two, three, there is still one missing. It's a pity. If you can get four, you will be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and your heads will glow green."
With Wang Qiang's mouth, he has never been afraid of anyone in a quarrel.
Ma Wenhai's choice to quarrel with him was definitely not a wise choice.
Lin Yi had no time to care about them at the moment, so he moved closer to the lake and looked for other ways out.
The sapphire-like lake in front of them was quiet and beautiful. No one could have imagined that there was a murderous intention hidden in the lake.
Until now, they didn't even know what was under the water.
At this moment, he and the man in sunglasses next to him seemed to be deep in thought.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin!"
Bai Lu's voice sounded, pulling Lin Yi back from his thoughts.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Look at this!"
Bai Lu picked up a stone in her hand and handed it to Lin Yi.
He held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but didn't seem to see any problems.
"Didn't you realize that this stone is not the same kind of stone as the stone you peeled off the rock wall just now?"
After Bai Lu's reminder, Lin Yi suddenly realized this problem.
The rock in your hand has a relatively hard texture, similar to that of pebbles.
The stones on the wall are softer in texture and are completely different.
"Based on the formation characteristics of the geological structure under our feet, I think the water level here may rise and fall."
These words gave Lin Yi great inspiration.
"Are you saying that there is a high possibility that the lake will overflow?"
Bai Lu nodded.
"I personally feel that this may not be an exception, but a norm."
“If there is flooding at the water level, there must be subsidence.”
Lin Yi turned around and came to the base of the wall in this area. The slight dampness didn't seem to explain much.
Just when he was about to go back the same way he came to see if there were any signs of water level subsidence around the "herringbone" channel, the man in sunglasses took action.
He took out a small black bottle from his arms, opened the cap, and placed it on the ground.
A colorful beetle the size of a pinky fingernail crawled out of the bottle.
As he muttered something, the beetle crawled along the passage they came from and towards the cave where the thangka was hung.
"Hey, Sunglasses, do you still have this habit of raising dung beetles? I didn't notice it!"
Wang Qiang made a sarcastic comment, but the man in sunglasses didn't take it seriously.
Just when everyone was wondering what the purpose of his actions was, there were bursts of "stinging and pulling" sounds in the previous passage.
Lin Yi immediately dodged aside, and after waiting for a moment, he suddenly saw a bloody body crawling out of the hole, dragging a large ball of internal organs.
It turned out to be Zhao Wu, who was killed by Hu Zi's knife before.
"Ah! This is Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu is alive! He's here to claim his life!"
Ma Wenhai, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave to see the excitement, saw the scene in front of him and almost frightened him to death. He stumbled to the ground and ran away frantically using his hands and feet.
A Biao desperately supported him behind him.
"Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu, brother, it's me, Guo Wenbin, I didn't harm you, don't come looking for me, brother Zhao Wu!"
Seeing this, Guo Wenbin was so frightened that he stepped back and kept replying.
“Damn it, you’re like this and you can still move? No,
Zhao Wu's broken body, which had been eaten by the big pig-faced bat and various ants, seemed not to be aware of their existence at all. He climbed out of the passage and crawled towards the lake little by little.
The man in sunglasses had his hands curled up in his sleeves, and he didn't know what he was doing. He kept mumbling something, as if he was reciting a curse.
"The art of exorcising corpses! This is the secret of the 'Guanshan Taibao', the 'art of exorcising corpses'!"
Lin Yi saw the clue. (End of chapter)
