As soon as I stretched out my hand, the man in the shawl standing behind me exclaimed, "Oh, you're going to die. The water is very hot. Do you want to turn into scalded pig skin like me?!"
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
The reason why I say this is not that I am trying to show off, but when the sky is completely dark, I have already found that the heat around me has weakened a lot, and the temperature is not as hot as it was during the day. This explains one point, the hot springs The water inside has cooled down.
In full view of everyone, I slowly extended my hand into the hot spring. In fact, I didn't feel anything, but because everyone else was looking at me nervously, I also felt a little bit nervous.
Fortunately, just as I expected, the water temperature is no longer as hot as during the day. Now it is only a little higher than body temperature. And it seems that as the night gets deeper and deeper, the water temperature will drop more and more. Low.
The hot spring is very small compared to other hot springs, but it is also very large. What appears in front of me is an irregular circular hot spring pool with a diameter of about two meters.
This is the first time in my life that I have had close contact with a natural hot spring in the wild. In the past, the most I could do was take a dip in the pool of a certain hot spring hotel.
So in my opinion, the hot spring in front of me was not too deep, so I rolled up my sleeves and put all my arms into the hot spring water.
But what surprised me was that my arms, which were at least eight or nine hundred centimeters long, did not touch the bottom of the water. Under the moonlight, the water was obviously so clear, but the bottom could not be seen at all.
"Dongzi, how are you?" Liu Baye asked me.
I pulled my arm out of the hot spring water, shook my head at Master Liu, and said that the water was cooling down, but it seemed very deep.
The balding old man finished watching the stars and walked over with his hands behind his back. He glanced at the hot spring pool and then said with a smile: "The pulse eye is unmistakable under this puddle. All I need to do now is find someone to go down and have a look." road."
Diving, for northerners, is undoubtedly a duck to water. Among these people, Goatee is the only one who knows how to swim. It is said that he has achieved excellent results in the winter swimming competition in Heihe River.
Even so, Goatee said that he was too old and couldn't stand the trouble, so he hurriedly abdicated and let Xian step aside.
Not to mention the others, when they crossed the one-meter-deep river before, they were intimidated. If there wasn't the monster Xing Tian chasing after me, I'm afraid they wouldn't follow me across the river even if I beat them to death.
As for Goatee's timidity, I don't think he is timid and afraid of death. To say the least, he is already so old, and all the functions of his body have already deteriorated. Most of the time, his heart cannot withstand water more than one meter deep. Pressure, if it was folded inside with a sudden force, that would not be the case.
Now there are only two people left, Liu Baye and me. Fortunately, we both have good water skills. When we were young, we often swam in the Yellow River.
Originally, for things like this, I could just go by myself, but Master Liu was probably worried about my safety and insisted on going with me no matter what. I couldn't get him to go with him, so I had to agree to go with him in the end.
This time we went into the mountains, and no one expected to go into the water, so we didn’t have any diving equipment at all. This gave me and Liu Baye very little time. I just hope that the hot spring water is not deep. It's better to be so exaggerated.
Goatee asked Aqiang to take out two bundles of ropes from his backpack. Each rope was at least fifty meters long. I thought it should be enough.
One end of the rope was fixed on the waists of me and Liu Baye respectively, and the other end was left on the shore. We agreed on a time limit of two minutes. If any of us did not return to the water within the stipulated time, they would The rope needed to be pulled immediately to drag us back.
Two old guys walked up to me and Mr. Liu, and told us to be careful and come back alive.
It seemed like a word of concern, but in my opinion it was so hypocritical, especially that goatee. If he hadn't begged me and Mr. Liu right now, he would have wished that we both died down there. Well, even if he is not dead, this old guy will help cut the rope.
"Well, we'll be careful."
In response, Liu Baye turned around and looked at me, signaling that we could start.
So we took a deep breath and jumped backwards into the hot spring water.
We don’t have any diving equipment, nor do we have headlamps, but fortunately, both of us have a strong flashlight in our hands, so that we won’t be blinded when we get into the water.
As soon as I entered the water, I felt my body sinking continuously, and it also made me feel like there was a bottomless pit under this huge hot spring pool.
The space is almost the same width as the surface, but it is surprisingly deep, bottomless.
I just allowed my body to sink continuously. Finally, after about ten seconds, my feet finally hit the bottom.
When I was above, I stretched out my hand to test the water temperature. It was only a little higher than body temperature. But as I continued to sink, I began to notice that the temperature of the surrounding water was dropping sharply. Now that I was at the bottom, I actually felt a little warmer. Slightly biting.
At this time, Mr. Liu patted my shoulder and made a gesture of looking. I nodded and went to his side to look at one place.
Looking at it, I actually saw a stone door on a limestone wall at the bottom of the water. The door was not very big. It was not so much a door as a hole with a door embedded in it.
After just one glance, I felt that there was something special about that door, because under the illumination of a strong flashlight, it was obviously a stone door, but it actually reflected the light from the flashlight back.
Out of curiosity, I reached out and touched the door, and unexpectedly I found that there was a thin layer of floating ice on the door. My hands felt numb from the cold when I touched them.
It seemed that he stayed at the bottom of the water for almost more than a minute. Except for the door, he unexpectedly found nothing else. From this, it can be concluded that this door is the door to the dragon vein.
The oxygen in my lungs was almost exhausted, and I happened to feel the signs of being pulled on the rope around my waist, so Liu Baye and I followed the upward pulling force of the rope and swam up. After a while, we were Both of them raised their heads above the water.
Back on the ground, Mr. Liu told the two old guys about the door he found while sleeping. After hearing what Mr. Liu saw, the two old guys looked excited. Jumping and jumping, like two children looking forward to the New Year.
But apart from the joy, huge problems also came one after another, that is, no one here can enter the door below.
Although Mr. Liu and I can dive, no one knows how long there is to go beyond that door. If it is too long, Mr. Liu and I will definitely go there and never come back.
If Mr. Xiao and Xiao Hong were here at this time, with her amazing ability, she would naturally be able to enter the door alone to find out what was going on. But obviously this is impossible. Xiao Hong is probably still lying in the hospital bed at this time. She is being taken care of by the first sister and the second treasure.
Thinking of this question, his goatee-bearded face straightened down, as if he was beyond love.
The balding old man also frowned, but soon relaxed again, "Now it seems that the only thing we can do is notify people outside and ask them to bring diving equipment in."
When Goatee heard this, his hopeless expression immediately dissipated, and his eyes flashed as he said, "This is the best, but this rice bowl is easy to get in and difficult to get out of, but how can we notify the people outside?"
Goatee's worry is correct. If this dry rice bowl could be entered and exited at will, then the unknown layman would not be trapped here for decades.
Although the balding old man's method is good, in my opinion the success rate is simply zero.
What's more, who would risk their lives to walk through that weird jungle, knowing that the monster Xing Tian is still hiding somewhere.
