The two of us looked at each other, and then looked at the river in front of us again. No one had any intention of going down.
Cui Hao hesitated for a long time and then looked at me.
"How about we go out first and discuss it later? It's very weird down there. I have a feeling that if we continue like this, we will all fall down there."
I sighed and shook my head.
"If we keep hiding for safety, when will we find the shroud? The danger underground means that we are more likely to find it."
I looked up at Cui Hao and threw the scalp aside.
"If you are worried, then you should wait for me on the shore and be ready to provide support at any time. I will go down by myself. I must find out what is down here."
There are also stone doors in those caves, there must be something inside.
And judging from the way the stone door is carved and the level of detail, everything inside is definitely a treasure.
The shroud might be inside.
Cui Hao's face suddenly turned cold, and he reached out and patted my shoulder.
"Am I the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Then I will go down and you will wait for me on the shore."
Cui Hao grabbed the rope and tied it to his waist. He held a dagger tightly, put a buckle on his waist, and grabbed several of my hidden weapons.
"I'll use it. If there's something inside, I'll have another way out."
I nodded and threw the hidden weapon to him.
Then I took out the data cable and imported all the photos from the camera to the phone.
After doing everything well, I handed the camera to Cui Hao.
"I just took some photos down there. I haven't had time to look at them yet. I'll give you the camera and I've already guided the photos."
Cui Hao nodded, held his breath and walked to the river bank. He hesitated for a long time before jumping in.
I immediately took out my phone and started timing, and set a countdown alarm.
After setting the alarm clock, I always looked directly at the shot.
Because I was in a hurry and was not holding the camera very steadily, the photos I took were blurry and blurry.
But you can roughly see what was shot inside.
I also took a long shot.
I looked through all the photos that Fatty had taken before from beginning to end.
Fatty's hands-on ability is better than mine, and the photos he took are very stable.
I could clearly see the appearance of the several grottoes before and after. I saw them from beginning to end, and tried to use software to put these pictures together and make a long picture.
Finally, I can see clearly the overall macro-state below.
The grotto below can be said to be extremely shocking. Judging from the length in your picture, the grotto below should extend to hundreds of meters.
The grottoes range from large to small, and there are actually patterns carved on the stone walls.
Having previously only observed the appearance of Jingjing and part of the grotto, I did not regard these raised notches on the walls as traces of carvings.
I thought these were naturally formed stones, and the unevenness naturally had its own growth pattern.
But now look at it carefully.
Only then did I discover that the uneven stone marks on the wall actually had carved carvings.
Especially when all these stones are put together, it looks like a flying dragon crossing the river.
The carving is extremely aggressive, and some details are extremely blurry, but there is a different kind of beauty to it.
"Is this a dragon?"
The flying dragon ascended to the sky, its huge claws stretched across the river bank.
A flying dragon is a hundred meters long, raising its head and flying straight into the sky.
I didn't expect it to be a whole piece.
"No wonder there are so many stone caves and gates down here. They seem to be specially designed for people to enter and exit."
I thought for a while, took out my brush and drew a circle on the cave where the flashlight was shining.
"There is a stone gate here. Let's mark it temporarily."
I made a cross at the hole next to him.
"I have just entered this place. It is a dead end. There is no need to delve deeper into it."
I carefully observed every hole.
The next action goal is determined.
"When the fat man comes up later, the two of us can divide these holes, and then go into these holes to explore the bottom first."
I decided to go through each cave and mark the caves first.
After discovering the caves in Shimen, you can slowly and carefully study them.
Now we have to determine which are dead ends and we must not make the same mistake again.
If that face comes over again, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to bear it.
While I was studying the pictures carefully.
I scrolled through the pictures and vaguely saw a blurry image.
This is a photo I took while I was swimming down and the camera was pointed above my head unintentionally.
At that time, I was in the clear water layer, and the photos I took were of the turbid layer.
The water was so turbid that it was impossible to see what was in it.
I shook my head and prepared to click delete.
But at the moment before deletion, I suddenly saw a vague figure of a living person in the dim river water.
The figure was swimming close to the river, and the figure's eyes were staring at me intently.
But at that time, all my attention was on these caves, and I didn't even notice what was going on in the turbid muddy water.
"What the hell is this?"
I was shocked and quickly zoomed in on the photo to examine it carefully.
Only then did I realize it.
There was clearly more than one figure in the muddy water above.
Although the muddy water is turbid, you can vaguely see several figures buried in it.
Their figures were faintly hidden in the soil, and they seemed to be turning their heads to look in my direction.
"There are so many figures down here, what on earth are these?"
I looked at the calm river water, and suddenly I had a hunch that Cui Hao was in danger.
I pulled the rope hard, preparing to pull Cui Hao up from below.
There was obviously a huge pulling force coming from below.
If Cui Hao had received my notice, I would never have used such great strength to resist my dragging.
I was getting more and more worried.
I pulled the rope hard and pulled it up as fast as I could.
The force coming from the rope below Cui Hao is getting stronger and stronger.
"Fat man, what on earth are you doing?"
I looked at the rushing water and increased my strength.
I struggled with what was on the other end of the rope.
At this time, the phone rang, and the four minutes had expired.
If Cui Hao is not pulled up, he will definitely die of lack of oxygen.
I thought about it and simply straightened the rope and tied it to the rocks nearby.
I held the dagger, groped for the rope, and plunged head-on.
When crossing turbid river water.
I opened my eyes and looked around.
As expected.
There were many vague figures floating around me in the soil layer, extremely inconspicuously surrounding me.
Every time I get close to these figures, they will deliberately swim backward to distance themselves from me.
I am certain that these things definitely have their own consciousness and thoughts.
They were even able to avoid my approach, so there was definitely something wrong.
I was extremely worried.
Cui Hao must have been in danger down there, as he was never able to get up from this station.
I tightened the rope and groped forward, quickly searching for Cui Hao's position.
finally.
I saw a little light ahead.
That's the light from the flashlight.
The water splashed in front of me, and Cui Hao's shadow appeared in front of me.
except him.
Cui Hao was followed by an extremely strange figure.
This man was about two meters tall, with thin arms and legs embedded in his extremely tall and muscular body.
The expression of this thing is extremely terrifying, and its bulging eyes are like two huge copper bells.
besides.
There is still a piece missing above the scalp of this thing, which is obviously the monster I just shot.
At this time, the rope on Cui Hao's body was tightly held in the monster's hand, and he could not break free at all.
Cui Hao's face turned purple with suffocation, and he was obviously about to breathe.
I know that time cannot be delayed any longer.
I swam forward quickly and swam to the fat man's side. I picked up the dagger and stabbed the monster fiercely.
There was a pop, and the dagger penetrated the flesh.
The monster opened its mouth and let out a sharp roar, suddenly stretched out its claws, and slapped me in the face.
His claws are extremely sharp, with nails nearly ten centimeters long growing in front.
The extremely sharp nails scratched against my arm, instantly scratching my clothes and skin.
Cui Hao's body sank downwards and his eyes rolled back. It was obvious that he could no longer hold on any longer.
I don't have time to fight with this guy.
I immediately grabbed Cui Hao's arm and floated upward.
At the same time, he slashed at the monster's arm with a knife, forcefully forcing him to loosen his grip on our rope.
I tightened the rope and dragged Cui Hao, and threw a hidden weapon directly at the monster.
The poison on the hidden weapon instantly drove the monster away. He stared at me with wide eyes, but he never dared to come near the two of us again.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Quickly dragging Cui Hao upwards, he quickly swam more than ten meters and submerged into the turbid river water again.
I grabbed the camera from the fat man's hand, pointed it at the surrounding turbid river water, kept pressing the door, and took one photo after another.
Finally swam to the river bank.
I immediately spread the fat man flat on the ground and quickly helped him press his chest to resume breathing.
The fat man coughed up a mouthful of water and finally opened his eyes.
I was relieved to see the fat man alive.
"Fat man, you scared me to death just now. How did you encounter the monster underground? Do you know that you were almost killed by this ghost?"
The fat man was weak and looked up at me with a sad smile.
"I don't know. When I swam under the water, this guy suddenly came out. I felt something was wrong at that time, so I planned to swim back."
But I didn't expect that this thing grabbed my rope and pulled me down a few inches.
The fat man said with a helpless smile.
"I fought with this thing and tried to pull the rope out, but it never worked. In addition, the oxygen was getting less and less, and my body was gradually starting to weaken."
