I immediately took Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang and cautiously approached the place where they were standing just now, but there was nothing here, and the three of them didn't know where they fell.
You must know that where they were standing just now, there was no wall around them. It was absolutely impossible for them to fall into the wall. It must be a problem underground.
I immediately turned my attention to the ground and carefully shined the flashlight on the floor tiles, checking every detail and corner.
My eyes quickly fell on one of the gaps in the floor tiles. It was obvious that something was stuck in the connection between the floor tiles.
I dug it out with a dagger, and there was clearly a piece of clothing stuck inside, and I was familiar with the fabric of the clothing. It was exactly the black robe with gold embroidery that Zhuge Chalcedony wore before.
"It's what Zhuge Chalcedony left behind. It seems they touched the mechanism and fell below."
It's just that I can't figure it out. We are obviously standing in this place, but the mechanism has not been activated. What on earth did they just encounter?
Just when I was wondering, Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang also came to my side, squatted down and followed me curiously to check the situation.
But the next second, I suddenly felt that the soles of my feet were empty, and I fell straight down before I could react.
"what happened?"
My vision went dark, and I heard Cui Hao yelling angrily next to me, and Wang Wenyang yelling at us.
"Hold your head, curl up as much as possible when you fall, and roll yourself into a ball, so you can better slow down the damage."
After he shouted this, the rest of us had already fallen dozens of meters.
My heart sank. With this trend of falling downward, once we hit the ground, we would be thrown to death.
I am not the type to sit still and wait for death, and I definitely cannot die in this place. I can even fulfill my grandpa’s long-cherished wish.
I immediately reached for my waist, which still contained the hooks they had given us in the Northeast. If the space we were in was not large, we might be able to use the hooks to grab the side walls to provide us with some resistance and slow down the process. We have a downward trend.
"Where's the hook you're carrying?"
I shouted to the two of them and asked them to take out their things and hold on to the wall to slow down their fall.
The two of them listened to my words and immediately took out the hooks from their waists and threw them to the side.
My heart was beating like a drum, my breath was held in my throat, and I almost couldn't breathe. I shook my arm hard and grabbed the hook to the side, hoping to catch something, at least not to let us fall to death here.
Suddenly I felt a pulling force on my hand. It was obvious that my hook had caught something. I quickly turned to my side and accidentally dragged someone next to me.
"Don't move, my claws are stuck on the wall. Please hug me now and don't let go."
I shouted this, not knowing who was staying next to me now, I just thought I could save one by one.
Wang Wangyang's response soon came from beside me.
"Okay, I've got you."
The two of us were still falling. I quickly tightened the hook, and the claws contracted to hang us in the air. The two of us finally stopped and stopped falling.
"Cui Hao, where are you?"
I lowered my head and looked around, trying to get a response from Cui Hao. Wang Wangyang took out his flashlight and shined a circle around him.
At this time, we were actually in a place like a deep well, surrounded by a circular annular space, similar to the bottom of a well, but it was much larger than the bottom of the well. I guessed it was at least six or seven meters wide in diameter.
It was also Wang Wangyang and I's good luck. My dog's paw accidentally flung out and caught the arched wall closest to me.
The falling position was almost in the center. If we hadn't happened to catch the bump on the wall, we would have fallen right now.
"Look down, let me see how deep it is down there."
At this time, I couldn't hear Cui Hao's response at all. I could only urge Wang Wangyang to shine the flashlight down to see if Cui Hao had fallen.
My heart sank. He followed me here. I didn't expect to encounter danger several times. If I really die here, I will not be easy for the rest of my life.
Wang Wangyang immediately pointed the flashlight below, but after seeing the reflection below, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is water below. This place is really a well."
About ten meters below our feet, we saw the water surface that was clearly reflecting light. The reason why Cui Hao didn't make any sound was that he probably fell under the water.
We were both in a hurry to grab the wall with our hooks just now, so we were all focused on the claws in our hands, and no one noticed the sound below.
Cui Hao may have fallen into the water below just now and disappeared.
"Cui Hao, can you hear my voice?"
I shouted loudly below, but I didn't get a response from him. It was still quiet below, with only the occasional sound of water ringing in our ears.
"The sound of water?"
If the water below cannot flow, then it is absolutely impossible for them to make a sound. Since there is a sound, the water must not be stagnant water.
Wang Wangyang and I looked at each other and saw him in each other's eyes.
"Go down?"
I asked Wang Wangyang for his opinion. He nodded and then let go of his hand, and his body fell directly.
Mine slowly lowered the hook, and gradually descended dozens of meters, before reaching the surface of the water.
Wang Wangyang's voice sounded to my right.
"There is a very rapid flow of water below. I don't know how it is maintained here, but there is no sign of any flow on the surface. I was almost washed away by the water just now. It is obvious that all of them must have been swept away by the water. Went somewhere else."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time took off the end of the hook and fixed it on the edge of the wall.
In this way, when we return to the original path and swim up, we can grab the hook and crawl up, and maybe we can return to the tomb chamber just now.
I have to leave myself a way out and can't gamble on luck.
After everything was done, I took a deep breath and jumped into the water. The water was so cold that I couldn't help but shiver a few times.
Wang Wangyang was good at swimming and quickly swam to my side. He wiped the water from his face and pointed at our feet.
"It's right down there, do we want to go down?"
I nodded and stayed here for use. It would be best to follow the water below to find the exit and see where they went.
Seeing that I agreed, Wang Wangyang asked me to take a deep breath, then grabbed my arm and dived quickly.
It was so dark under the water that it was hard to see what was there. Our flashlights were swinging around under the water. The impact of the water flow was greater than I imagined. The violent splash of water almost knocked me against the wall, and I was pressed directly against the rock wall unable to move.
I breathed a sigh of relief and speeded up my dive. Sure enough, I soon felt the impact of a huge current, which pushed Wang Wangyang and I forward.
The two of us were unable to resist at all, so we were forced to follow the current and float forward.
Even after diving underwater for tens of seconds, I already felt that my abdominal cavity was starting to lack oxygen, and I even felt pain like pinpricks.
But I didn't dare to speak. If I choked on the water at this time, I would just wait to die under the water.
Wang Wangyang held my arm tightly, and his body temperature spread along the place where our skin touched, which also made me feel at ease.
I swallowed my saliva, relaxed my body as much as possible, and drifted forward along with the impact of the current. Finally, there was a sound of water exploding around us, and then my body was hit by the water and hit the river bank.
I took a big breath, and finally there was fresh air around me. Wang Wangyang rushed to my side and gently patted my back.
"Are you okay, young prince?"
I nodded. It’s true that I’m not very good at swimming, especially holding my breath is very difficult. However, Wang Wangyang seems to be quite good at water, so his face is not red at the moment, and his heart is not beating, and he clearly looks at ease.
I quickly picked up the bracelet tightly wrapped around my arm again and shined a light around it, observing every corner.
I soon saw a figure on the other side of the river beach. At this time, he was lying on the ground with his arms wide open, and he had obviously fainted.
I rushed over and quickly shined the flashlight on this person's face, but unfortunately it was not the Cui Hao I expected, but someone I didn't want to see.
"Zhuge Chalcedony, it's you."
He was still in a coma and couldn't answer my questions. And the two men beside him also disappeared, and they were hit by the water splash and were knocked to unknown places.
My heart sank, I ignored Zhuge Chalcedony, and hurriedly walked around the river beach again with the flashlight.
The space here is not small, probably hundreds of square meters, but I have never found Cui Hao on the edge of the river bank.
After two fruitless searches, I finally realized the fact that Cui Hao was not pushed ashore with us at all.
My eyes couldn't help but heat up. If this was the case, it would prove that Cui Hao was pushed away by the turbulent water. Maybe he was pushed somewhere by the water.
I almost suffocated to death in the water just now. If Cui Hao continued to float down the current for such a long time, he might have died underwater.
When I think of Cui Hao leaving me like this, my heart is filled with guilt.
Wang Wangyang was a little calmer than me. After searching around with me, he was already squatting next to Zhuge Chalcedony, helping him press his chest and perform artificial respiration.
"Cough cough cough."
Zhuge Chalcedony coughed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
