Seeing that neither of us spoke, Zhuge Chalcedony took the lead in expressing his thoughts.
"Judging from the hexagrams, the risk of walking under the water is very low, but after all, our ability to move in the water is limited, and my water quality is not good, so I still want to walk on the shore."
Zhuge Chalcedony looked at us with an extremely obvious attitude. No matter what the two of us chose, he decided not to leave on the shore.
I sighed and looked back at Wang Wangyang. He walked along the river bank and wanted to leave under the water.
I couldn't help but take a breath. I also wanted to find a way to retreat on the shore, but if Cui Hao was washed away by someone, I also hoped to go into the water to find him.
Two choices were placed in front of me, and I didn't know which path to choose for a while.
In the end, I decided to go underwater and take a gamble with Wang Wangyang. Although the road ahead was unknown, I might be able to find Cui Hao.
I quickly walked to the river bank and expressed my attitude. Zhuge Chalcedony nodded and did not stop us. He just returned to the rock wall silently and continued to search for the exit.
I saw Wang Wangyang. He motioned for me to take a deep breath, then grabbed my arm and jumped into the water.
The cold water enveloped us again, and my whole body felt cold. Once again, I couldn't breathe and made my whole body tense.
Wang Wangyang, however, kept holding on to my arm during this process, and even stretched out his other hand to gently pat my shoulder to reassure me.
Under his comfort, I finally calmed down a lot. As the water continued to move forward, my chest gradually hurt like a drum, and I gradually couldn't breathe.
The pain in my chest made me move my hands and feet wildly, and I instinctively hugged Wang Wangyang's body.
Wang Wangyang was startled by me, but soon realized that my situation was not good, and hurriedly hugged my body and continued to pat my back gently.
My body became weak and I could hardly exert any strength. I could only instinctively hug Wang Wangyang tightly and close my eyes.
I didn't know if I would have a chance to see the sky again. Everything went black in front of my eyes, and I didn't know where we were drifting to in my daze.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear Wang Wangyang’s gentle shouting in my ears.
"Little prince, can you hear me? Wake up, wake up. We have landed."
I frowned at the shouting, and then I was slapped so hard that I sat up and couldn't help but look to my side.
I saw Wang Wangyang sitting next to me at this time, looking at me curiously. After I opened my eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You finally woke up."
I looked around and realized that I was back on the river bank, and there was more than one person beside me at this time.
"It's you."
Unexpectedly, I saw Cui Hao and Zhuge Chalcedony's two men, who were standing beside me now.
When Cui Hao saw me opening my eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little prince, you scared me to death. I almost thought you were drowned by the water just now. Fortunately, Wang Wangyang kept dragging you, otherwise you would have been washed away in the river."
I thanked Wang Wangyang and looked around to check the surrounding situation.
"What the hell is this place?"
I looked at a few of them and asked where we were. Several people shook their heads and just pointed to an empty square stone door in front of them.
"Someone should have been to this place before, and the stone door here has also been opened. We just looked around at the exit and didn't see anything strange. We haven't decided whether to go in, but we found you guys coming over. .”
Cui Hao stretched out his hand and pulled me up from the ground, then took me to the front of the cave entrance and asked for my opinion.
"You are an expert in this field. None of us in the survey organization is better than you. Do you want to come and see if this place can be entered?"
I came to the entrance of the stone wall and took a look. It was quiet inside the entrance. I took my flashlight and shined it into the cave. It was also bright dozens of meters away, and I didn't see any danger.
"It doesn't seem to be anything dangerous. I think we can go in and check out the situation. There is no other way here anyway."
After saying that, I was ready to step into the cave entrance.
But the moment I took action, a roar suddenly came from the entrance of the cave. This sound obviously did not sound like a human being.
I was frightened by the sound and took half a step back, not daring to enter the cave entrance again.
"What's going on here?"
They shook their heads, with a look of fear on their faces.
"When we got close just now, we also made such a sound, so we didn't decide whether to go in and see the situation."
Several people sighed and pointed at the surrounding environment.
"By staying here, at least we can stay alive for the time being, but if we enter this cave, we might be attacked by the monsters hidden inside."
If the Northeast is there, we can use mechanical vehicles to help us find the way forward, but now we can only rely on ourselves to decide whether to enter the cave entrance to check the situation.
I looked at them and decided in my heart that it was useless to stay in this place. I had to explore the way forward to find a way out.
"I think we still have to go in and take a look. There is no use staying in this place. We can only be trapped and die here."
And now this place actually has a door, which means we can get out from here. Zhuge Chalcedony is still next to the previous river beach, and he may encounter any dangers alone.
And if he is there, he can also use his compass to divine for us whether the road ahead is smooth.
And I really couldn't bear for him to stay alone on the river beach in front. If something happened to him, he might not be able to come back alive.
I looked at Zhuge Chalcedony's two men in front of me and reported Zhuge Chalcedony's current whereabouts.
"My water ability is not very good. If your water ability is good, would you like to bring Zhuge Chalcedony over? We all have ropes on us. You can tie them to your bodies and let you swim back."
After listening to my words, the two people's faces immediately showed a look of surprise, and they nodded quickly to express their willingness to go back.
At the same time, one of them immediately reached out and grabbed my rope, buckled it directly on his waist, and planned to dive.
My rope is a retractable steel wire that can be stretched hundreds of meters, so there is no need to worry about them getting lost underwater.
If we encounter danger and realize something is wrong, we can bring them back in time.
The man with the wire wrapped around him jumped directly into the water and quickly disappeared in front of us. The other one stood beside us fearfully, without making a decision whether to go or not.
I didn't urge him, I just stared at the water silently, waiting for the news from the other side.
This wire rope is tied around my waist. If there is any movement on the other side, I will be able to clearly sense the movement of the other side.
But as time passed by, one minute passed, and it was not known whether the person who entered the water successfully reached the other side.
But while I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a huge force coming from my waist. I grabbed the rope and pulled it forward with all my strength.
My rope was pulled to the bottom in an instant, but before it stopped, the wire rope was still shrinking forward violently, quickly pulling me away from the shore.
Before I had time to react, I stumbled and fell into the water below. I struggled twice and choked on my saliva, and the huge force dragged me under the water.
"help me!"
I only had time to shout out this sentence before my whole body submerged into the water and was dragged deeply under the water by the huge force.
I couldn't see clearly what was around me, but the force was so huge that no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free.
I reluctantly took out the dagger and slid the steel wire rope hanging around my waist vigorously. However, this steel wire rope was a soft steel wire with extremely high toughness. I tried for a long time without being able to cut it.
If this continues, I will drown.
I could only grit my teeth and slide the lock buckle with the blade of the knife. After this thing fell into the water, it was extremely difficult to cut off. It took me a long time to try to get the slide buckle to loosen a little.
While I was busy, I vaguely felt that a black shadow seemed to appear in front of me, and this shadow was constantly approaching in my direction.
The thing was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, it had already jumped in front of me.
The next second, I saw this guy's face clearly. I stared at the face in front of me in disbelief. This was clearly the subordinate of Zhuge Chalcedony who had just dived underwater.
But at this time, his face was pale, and fine white fluff was floating on the surface of his body. These fluffs were swinging up and down, urging his body to swim forward continuously.
At this time, one end of the wire rope was tightly wrapped around his waist. It was his sudden force that pulled me under the water.
I couldn't speak underwater, but I didn't dare to touch the man in front of me. The white hair on his body began to grow gradually, and it was already nearly half a meter long.
His face turned pale, his pupils began to dilate, and he was obviously a dead man.
I didn't dare to waste time, so I quickly turned around and swam upwards. However, his speed was faster than mine. He had already jumped behind me in the blink of an eye and was about to attack me in the next second.
A sense of sadness arose in my heart. I didn't expect that even though I ran here, I still couldn't avoid death. But even if I die here today, I will never let the thing behind me have an easy time.
I immediately turned my head, grabbed the dagger, faced the pale hand that was stretched out from me, and stabbed it hard.
