I really want to thank Li Zhuang for remembering to comfort me in such a dangerous situation.
It's just that this comfort doesn't make me feel comfortable, but makes me even more helpless.
I sighed, silently raised Shang Fang's sword, and prepared to open the way ahead.
No matter what, Cui Hao must be rescued first.
The two of us sped up and rushed forward quickly.
Every time I walked through these blades of grass, I could feel something around me caressing my body easily.
And there seemed to be something staring at me closely under the water, as if thinking about when to attack me.
But fortunately, those eyes would disappear quickly after a few minutes of falling on me. It seemed that they took the so-called mark of the king into consideration and did not dare to attack me at all.
Of course, Li Zhuang, who was staying behind me, was also contaminated by my scent, so he followed me peacefully.
"Li Zhuang, where should we look?"
I'm almost confused.
I don't know where to search next to find Cui Hao from below.
Li Zhuang pointed to the space in front of him and nodded to me gently.
"Just go this way. If you look at the marks on the ground, you should know where we are going."
I was stunned and immediately looked towards the ground.
Only then did I realize that where we passed, some water plants on the ground seemed to have signs of being crushed.
It was as if something was being dragged from this place.
I reacted quickly.
"You are saying that Cui Hao was probably dragged forward by those water plants, so there are such marks on the ground."
Li Zhuang nodded slightly, but there was still a bit of helplessness and uncertainty in his eyes.
"Of course it could be something else, like the guy who was dragged down with me."
When talking about this person, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Li Zhuang, what's going on with that figure? Logically speaking, only a few of us should have these protective suits. How could there be a figure with bruises all over his face wearing protective suits?"
I can't figure it out. Could it be that Cui Hao's protective clothing was taken away by this guy?
But I didn't expect that Li Zhuang gave me a completely different guess.
"I think the protective clothing is probably not from the same group as ours. It may be the clothes worn by Zhao Yueming's men who came down to investigate the situation before. Moreover, this person probably did not return to the shore. They died underground."
As he said that, Li Zhuang couldn't help but look in the direction we came from.
"This Zhao Yueming seems to be very friendly to us, but in fact he looks at us with a bit of calculation. Maybe you haven't noticed, but I know that this guy's purpose is not simple."
After speaking, Li Zhuang patted my shoulder lightly.
"You guys are still a little short of ability among the ten people. If you look at a few more people, maybe you can know their nature. Zhao Yue's demeanor at that time was very wrong, especially when he saw these water plants, he seemed to He knows a lot about these things. Do you really think that Zhuge Chalcedony accidentally knew the true nature of these water plants?"
When Li Zhuang said this, I realized what he was doing.
This means they have been in the water before, probably more than once.
They even lost some members of their own side when they entered the water.
It's just that Zhao Yueming didn't tell us the real situation. I don't know what his purpose was. He was afraid that we would not be willing to come down after knowing the danger, or for some other reasons.
But at least he hid some of the truth from us, which led to the misunderstanding I just had.
"What you mean is that these were the first batch of team members they came down from. They were trapped under these water plants and died underneath. That's why the scene turned out like this."
Li Zhuang nodded slightly.
"That's what I mean, but at the same time. Have you noticed that their protective clothing is a little different from ours? First of all, the weird red dots that appear are probably the original marks on these people's protective clothing. . As for the small green dot this time, it is also used to distinguish it from their red logo. At the same time, this protective suit is different from ours. "
Li Zhuang raised his arm and pointed to the end of his arm.
"I just got closer to that thing, so I can see a mark on his protective clothing, which looks like a round black background, but it's not on our clothes. I can be sure that after we get down, The clothes everyone wears are of the same specifications and scale, and there is no such so-called mark at all, so I made such guesses and speculations."
I nodded. If you put it this way, Li Zhuang's statement is probably true.
That means that we should have been tricked by Zhao Yueming.
This guy just took a fancy to our ability, and he had already known about the stone door underground, just to let me come here to unlock it.
It's a pity that we lost Cui Hao midway.
And they also knew that Cui Hao was probably taken away by these water plants, so the two of them were not willing to approach these water plants at all.
Especially preventing us from getting closer.
It's just that I'm too stubborn, and I carry Shang Fang's sword with me, so these water plants even retreated and didn't dare to attack me.
So they had no way to continue to stop me and ask me to come down to find someone.
After I figured out the cause and effect, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that we know their true colors, we will have better ways to deal with them when we face them in the future.
I immediately turned around and thanked Li Zhuang.
"Li Zhuang, thank you for your advice."
Li Zhuang turned around and didn't look at me.
"No, this is just what I did to ensure your safety. I just wanted to give the king an explanation. I am not your friend, and you don't need to act too intimately with me. I am I won’t appreciate it.”
It's just that when this guy said it, his ears turned slightly red.
It was obvious that Li Zhuang was lying.
Obviously he is gradually getting along with me and should regard me as one of his good friends.
As for the so-called "must protect my safety", it is just for the sake of the king above them, it is just the rhetoric he used.
After all, one day in the future, the two of us will inevitably turn against each other.
After all, our positions are completely different, and he will definitely be on the opposite side of me in the future, because they are loyal to their king deep in their bones.
Cutting ties with me now is the best decision.
I sighed softly.
If we weren't in different positions, I would really want to be a good friend with him.
Li Zhuang struck me as being so honest and willing to go out of his way to protect his brother.
In fact, I really want to continue dating him, but it's a pity that our positions are different, and we must fight for our own beliefs and destiny.
I stopped thinking about it and quickly shook the thoughts out of my mind.
No matter what the attitude of the two of us will be at that time, at least we are still friends now.
I winked at Li Zhuang, and then pointed ahead.
"Then let's keep walking and find Cui Hao as soon as possible. This is the key point."
Li Zhuang nodded and quickly followed me, then followed the traces of the grass blades pressing against him and moved forward.
The speed of the two of us was not slow. After passing through these blades of grass, we quickly reached the depths.
But the moment we arrived here, I couldn't help but stopped in shock.
I didn't expect to see such a terrifying and horrifying scene here.
Directly in front of me, countless water plants were floating densely.
It's just that these aquatic plants are slightly different from those outside. They are relatively slender and seem to have not grown.
But underneath these blades of grass, there was a person falling on each one.
Moreover, the blades of these water plants all grow from above the heads of these people, and slowly grow upward in the direction of the water flow.
The expressions of these people with water plants were calm, and all of them had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
But their faces were all blue from suffocation, and it was obvious at a glance that several of them had drowned in the water, or had lost oxygen for too long and were suffocated to death.
There are dozens of people wearing protective clothing here, and the sizes of their protective clothing are completely different, and the colors and markings on them are slightly different.
I also quickly saw the guy I met in the water before who attacked us.
This guy's shoulder, near his armpit, really has a round black background logo, which is completely different from the protective clothing on our bodies.
The moment I approached them, I immediately turned on my positioning device.
Immediately, densely packed signal points of various colors appeared on my mask.
Blue and yellow are available in every color.
I simply counted and found that there are about six colors. Except for the green we are currently corresponding to, there are nearly ten people in each of the other colors.
That means, before we come.
There were probably five other teams that had gone into the water, but unfortunately, most of these five teams were killed by these water plants.
And there was absolutely no chance of getting out.
I really didn't expect that Zhao Yueming would conceal such important information from us and not tell us the real situation.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
I originally thought that Zhao Yueming, unlike his younger brother, should be a good person, at least openly acting more openly than his younger brother.
I just didn’t expect that Zhao Yueming and the others were in the same boat, and they were plotting against us.
