After drinking the last mouthful of instant noodle soup, Wuxie looked at the fat man and said, "Fat man, tell me, what's going on?"
The fat man raised his hand and wiped his mouth: "Wuxie, I told you not to be angry. In fact, it was your third uncle who hired us to explore the way. We came in a little earlier than you."
"What?! Third uncle, Lao Deng is looking for you instead of me? I am his eldest nephew!" The innocent Qiqiao was filled with smoke.
He came here just to find clues about his third uncle, but he didn't expect that guy to be living happily outside!
The fat man put in a good word for his employer: "Although what Third Master did is unethical, didn't he hire us to help you eliminate hidden dangers?"
Tian Xie looked at the fat man suspiciously: "Why did you start calling your third uncle 'third master'? Didn't you always call me 'that old man' behind you before?"
Wu Xie did not doubt that the three of them were pretending to be others. After all, Lin Yi's hearing aids were quite difficult to copy.
When the fat man heard what Wuxie said, he immediately laughed: "Hahahaha... wasn't this because I was ignorant before? We are the five good young people in society who respect the old and love the young!"
Seeing the fat man's glib look, Wu Xie turned around and asked Menyou Ping and Dr. Lin: "Brother, Dr. Lin, did the fat man take advantage of my third uncle?"
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, and Lin Yi raised his hand and compared two figures: "Commission and the money for collecting the aphrodisiac stone."
The fat man looked doomed: "Dr. Lin, do you know that sometimes white lies can save lives?"
Lin Yi looked at him doubtfully: "Won't Wuxie threaten your life?"
One is the mission target, and the other is a teammate. If they fight, he will not help either of them. In the end, the winner will go with him.
Wu Xie stared at Lin Yi and became unconvinced: "Dr. Lin, you mean I'm too weak to beat a fat man!?"
After comparing the data of Wuxie and Fatty, Lin Yi solemnly concluded: "Your current skills are difficult."
The innocent eyes narrowed and turned into beady eyes: "Dr. Lin, I think the fat man is right."
Lin Yi shook his head: "No matter what the reason is, lying is incorrect."
Due to program restrictions, Ximagiya is not allowed to lie, so when he encounters something he doesn't want to say, Lin Yi imitates Zhang Qiling and pretends to be stupid and doesn't say anything.
The fat man choked for breath. It was wrong to lie together, and it was natural to kill people and dump their bodies, right?
Wu Xie shook his head and got down to business: "The entrance to the underground palace is probably behind the waterfall. We can only risk going in to explore."
It is possible for Zhang Qiling and himself to go up the cliff, but it is absolutely impossible for Fatty and Wu Xie. And underground caves can stretch for thousands of miles in the mountains, and it is impossible to get out of the caves.
After roughly calculating the possibilities, Lin Yi stood up from the campfire: "I'll go over from the water pool to have a look."
Zhang Qiling stood up and said, "If there is an agency, I will go."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the water pool. There must be a trap at the entrance to the underground palace. Lin Yi couldn't solve the trap, so it was more appropriate for him to go down.
Thinking of Zhang Qiling's feat of breaking the mechanism by pulling bricks with his bare hands, Lin Yi didn't argue with him. If the mechanism was triggered, they might all end up here.
Zhang Qiling sneaked into the pool with the ancient black gold sword on his back. Lin Yi, Wuxie and Fatty squatted in a row by the pool, waiting for someone to come back.
After a while, Zhang Qiling emerged from the pool. He looked up at the three people squatting by the water: "There is a passage behind the waterfall, and there are all human-headed figurines under the pool."
Zhang Qiling warned the three of them in advance about the terrifying scene under the water, so as not to be frightened when they suddenly saw a field of white skeletons.
The fat man put his arm around Wuxie's shoulders: "Did you hear me? I'm reminding you not to be afraid!"
Dr. Lin was not worried. Fatty was worried that Wuxie would be so frightened that he could not hold his breath and drown in the pool.
Wu Xie shook off the fat man's hand and said calmly: "I saw the human-headed figurines when I was in the burial pit. What's there to be afraid of..."
The fat man raised his eyes and looked at everyone one by one: "As long as you're not afraid, how about just walking with a few brothers?"
After putting out the bonfire, several people followed Zhang Qiling and dived into the pool.
Wu Xie shivered as soon as he took the water. The water was too damn cold. If he hadn't taken a warm mouthful just now to replenish his calories, he would have been frozen to death.
[Bionic program/OFF]
Lin Yi skillfully turned off the bionic mode and dived into the water to follow Zhang Qiling.
After Wuxie dived into the water, he found that there were indeed many human-headed figurines at the bottom of the water. Some of Bai Sensen's skulls had fallen off from the stone figurines. It was still a little scary to be stared at by the black eye sockets of the skulls.
He accelerated his paddling speed to catch up with the fat man, and was unintentionally attracted by the blurry light spots at the bottom of the water.
Wuxie guessed that it was the bright flashlight he had thrown away when he fell from the waterfall. Thinking that the more light sources in the bucket, the better, he swam toward the light source to pick up the flashlight.
Lin, who was swimming at the back, saw Wu Xie leaving the team and quickly caught up to Wu Xie and grabbed Wu Xie's arm, shaking his head to signal him not to go.
Wuxie had no choice but to give up the idea of picking up the flashlight, nodded to indicate that he would not pass, and swam forward obediently with the fat man.
Lin Yi lurked in the water and watched Wu Xie swim forward. When he was about to follow, he suddenly heard the sound of paddling behind him.
He immediately became vigilant, pulled out his black gold dagger and used thermal imaging to search the surrounding water environment. The water here was also very cold, and there might be some Jerome Salmon that he met last time...
Soon Lin Yi caught a human figure in the water. He turned back to confirm that Zhang Qiling and the other three were behind him, and then quietly sneaked towards the figure.
After rushing through the area where the waterfall was, Zhang Qiling and the others entered a cave. The fat man pulled Wuxie up the ladder that appeared from the bottom of the water.
"Huh~huh~" Wuxie opened his mouth and breathed heavily as soon as he came out of the water: "If the distance is any longer, I will suffocate to death!"
The fat man patted Wu Xie's back and helped him slow down: "I can hold you back like this at such a short distance. You can't do that, Tian Xie~"
Wu Xie curled up into a ball and hugged herself tightly: "Fuck you, it's not that I can't do it, it's just too cold in the water."
The fat man happily patted his fleshy belly: "This is where the fat man's power comes into play. It's full of heat and not cold at all!"
Zhang Qiling came ashore after them. Seeing Wu Xie shivering from the cold, he took out a small bottle of liquor from his backpack and handed it to Wu Xie.
Wuxie took it and took a sip. Feeling her body warm up, she started to care about other issues: "Doctor Lin is following us. Why hasn't he come up yet?"
The fat man also became confused: "That shouldn't be the case. Dr. Lin is not good at water. He can fight fish underwater. How can he swim for so long in pure swimming?"
Zhang Qiling stared at the rippling pool and counted silently in his mind. He decided to go into the water to look for someone if there was no movement for another two minutes.
When Wuxie and Fatty saw Zhang Qiling calmly staring at the water, they also calmed down. The sense of security brought by the little brother was enough.
After the countdown ended, Zhang Qiling moved and was about to enter the water, but suddenly heard the sound of paddling. He stood up again and waited for something in the water to emerge.
[Bionic program/ON]
After Lin Yi turned on the bionic program and resumed breathing, a thin humanoid creature emerged from the water dragging his hand.
Wu Xie subconsciously looked towards the humanoid creature, his pale face looked very familiar: "I'll go, itchy!"
After recognizing who Lin Yi was holding in his hand, Wu Xie stood up immediately and said, "My face is so white, how can I get rid of my old itch?" ?
Lin's face turned pale when he saw Wuxie, and while dragging Lao Chu forward, he explained: "He's not dead, he just fainted from choking on the water."
After dragging the person ashore from the steps, Lin Yi let go and Wu Xie quickly came up to give Lao Itchi cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Zhang Qiling's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a red mark on Lao Itch's neck, which was obviously scratched by a sharp weapon. He was relieved that the child was obedient and did not kill anyone casually.
Lin Yi sat aside and watched coldly as Wuxie gave Lao Chi first aid. When he was in the pool, he originally planned to wipe Lao Chi's neck, but he was really curious about the secret of the intermittent hot water fountain, so he let go of the dagger and took him with him.
Of course, I didn’t care about Lao Itch’s diving state during the whole process. I asked him questions if he didn’t choke to death. If he choked to death, it would save trouble.
Just when Wuxie was mentally building up and wanted to go up to Lao Itch to give artificial respiration, Lao Itch coughed out a mouthful of water and woke up.
Lao Itch looked at Wu Xie with tears in his eyes: "Lao Wu, you were also caught by the water ghost, right? It was my buddy who got you involved this time. I didn't expect that we could still get together in the underworld..."
Wuxie punched Lao Itch on the shoulder: "Bah, bah, bah, what the hell, you're still alive and well, why are you saying something unfavorable!"
Lao Chi felt the pain in his shoulder and was a little confused: "Are we not dead? I clearly saw the water ghost with glowing eyes just now...?"
Wuxie looked at Lin Yi: "Did you see the aperture on Dr. Lin's hearing aid? The circular aperture can easily be seen as eyes."
"But what I saw was blue light, not orange-red light?" Lao Itch was still confused.
Wuxie still explained according to science: "You fainted in the water and had an illusion?"
Seeing that Wu Xie didn't believe his words, Lao Itch stopped mentioning the topic of water ghosts.
