There is light inside the small holes that reflects itself without the need for lighting, illuminating everything inside and also illuminating my eyes.
All this was so incredible, the light even eclipsed the emergency light in my hand. I saw it was a hexagon with a raised stone in the middle, crystal clear like the most beautiful diamond.
But I promise that’s not the case, because diamonds don’t shine on their own!
I carefully stretched out my fingers again, and with the slight movement of my fingers, the stone had left the hole a little bit, and completely fell into my palm. I pinched it with two fingers, and suddenly there was a shaking under my feet.
It was like a sudden earthquake, causing my body to tilt and almost lose my balance!
After the shock dissipated, Lang Hongyi above his head asked loudly, "Sanman, is everything okay down there?"
I took one last look at the tarnished stone, carefully put it away, and then responded loudly, "It's okay, I'll be right up when the matter is done!"
At present, only Lang Hongyi and I know about the turtle treasure. After climbing to the top, I showed the stone to Lang Hongyi, but he didn't find it strange. He just frowned and said, "This is like a transparent stone."
Very good zircon.”
What zircon is is really not in my dictionary. The only beautiful and shiny stone I know is the one that is always mentioned on TV and will last forever...
"Let's go back and take a look first. If we delay for a while, we should be going down there soon."
We walked back just in time. Apart from those who kept their hands, there were only Xiao Zhao and two students of Professor Chen waiting to go down. When he saw me coming back, Xiao Zhao came over and asked, "Captain just now."
Without waiting for you, he told you to come back and tell you to stop. He had already gone down first. Did you feel a small earthquake here just now?"
At this time, I couldn't figure out whether this earthquake, which only shook for a moment, had no direct relationship with me getting the turtle treasure. I could only nod my head, "I felt it. There was no accident here."
Xiao Zhao, who was familiar with us, shrugged and said with a smile, "The people above were shocked, and the people below are probably the worst, but we can't see it, so prepare yourself, we'll go down first!"
There has been violent shaking from the other side of the rope. This is a signal from below. The other side has arrived and the top can prepare.
The remaining students saw that Lang Hongyi and I were the only two people present besides them, and they actually came over and apologized to me, "I'm sorry we were on the boat before. Some students didn't speak very nicely, so please don't mind."
Looking at the gentle girl wearing glasses in front of me, I didn't care too much. After all, they just spoke from their own standpoint and it didn't hurt me anyway.
"It's okay. This place is no better than anywhere else. You've seen what I've experienced before. My advice is that you should most likely not separate. If there is any emergency, it's safer to go back to the dock. After all, there are houses there and there are supplies that I haven't brought over. It's relatively safe.
It will be safe.”
This student girl must have listened to my suggestion. She nodded slightly and walked back to her classmates.
To be honest, it was quite difficult to come out this time for these flowers of the motherland who have never experienced suffering. After all, no one expected that they would encounter so many things.
I can be a good person, but I can forget about being a bad person, or repaying evil with kindness, because I am not that material.
We didn’t say anything else after that. Lang Hongyi and I stood at the edge of the cave entrance with a steep slope in front, almost like a cliff below, paying attention to the movement below, wondering whether Miaomiao had joined everyone else. There was such a big water below.
, where should these people land and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.
The rope shook violently again, and I knew it was time for us to go down. After one last glance at the few people who had left their hands, Lang Hong and I resolutely slid into the darkness.
My speed is not slow, but Lang Hongyi is even more steady, and his movements are smooth and unrestrained. At first glance, he looks like a person who has received professional rock climbing and downhill training. After my body feels the increasingly dense water vapor around me, I know that at this time
It’s not far from the water below!
Above our heads, during the time when we were setting down, the sun of a new day had already ushered in. I believe that those who stayed behind would have a relatively better time in the future, but the sunlight was only limited light for us.
There was still deathly silence below, surrounded by a thick darkness that could not be driven away.
Lang Hongyi stopped and shined his emergency light downwards. He saw in the distance a bamboo raft waiting for us on the water more than ten meters below. There was only a thin figure on it, and that was undoubtedly Uncle Yan.
Lang Hongyi was still carrying the Penny on his back. After we continued to slide down a certain distance, Uncle Yan reached out directly and pulled one end of the Penny. Lang Hongyi shouted to the people below, "Uncle Yan, I'll let go of the rope."
, grab your pennies!"
The handover went smoothly, and we finally stepped onto the bamboo raft from the suspended state. As our weight increased, the bamboo raft swayed on the water and the water became deeper!
"Have you seen Miaomiao?"
What I was most concerned about was Miaomiao, who was left alone down there. I felt a little guilty, for fear that something unexpected would happen to her!
Uncle Yan nodded, "Don't worry, we are with Captain Liao and the others. The place down here is no longer what you described before. There is water everywhere, and the land can no longer be seen. Everyone is in the stalactite cave."
, you still have to walk underwater for a distance before entering."
"Go underwater?" I was a little confused when Uncle Yan said it. I didn't understand what he meant until the bamboo rafts quickly slid across the water like sharp arrows and reached the entrance of the cave where we needed ropes to climb up before!
The stalactite hole that opened diagonally downward was completely submerged. Uncle Yan skillfully picked up a piece of rope floating on the water, tied it to a bamboo raft, and threw two handfuls of wood pulp to Lang Hongyi and me.
"Please help me bring these two things. They are my life. Besides, there is no way ahead, so we have to swim in. Fortunately, Miaomiao left us a mark and a rope, otherwise we would not have found the place so smoothly."
Good guy, I have a full load on my back now. I have tied everything inside tightly to the innermost part. Then I have tied up the life that Uncle Yan delivered to me. Finally, there is the supply backpack, and I am still on the leather buckle of the belt.
The short sword weighs at least a hundred kilograms less, but it is not easy.
Lang Hongyi also has one less inner world than me, and his things are almost the same.
Seeing Uncle Yan actually twisting his hands, not knowing where to start, he actually divided the bamboo pole into seven or eight sections, carefully tied them neatly, and tied them to his chest.
At this time, I looked helpless and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yan, can we dive down with so many buoyant things on us?"
Uncle Yan looked at me angrily, "Take a breath and feel along the rope inward. Why are you diving down? Are you looking for treasures?"
Okay, okay, my fault, my naivety, my stupidity...
After three sounds of entering the water, the last three of us jumped off the bamboo raft, took a deep breath along the rope, and touched under the stone. The outside world returned to silence, with only the bamboo raft still spinning on the water.
