Kuroki shook his head and said: "I don't know the exact location. According to the dictation of my ancestors, I only know that the entrance is under the stone bridge, about two feet deep under the water, and the passage is about more than ten feet deep, in the middle of the passage.
, there is an iron fence blocking it."
Wen Qingshan suddenly realized: "No wonder the dragon's roar sounded so powerful just now. It turned out that it was only separated by an iron fence."
Kuroki said: "Don't underestimate that iron fence. It is said to be made of fine iron and is very strong. The reason why my ancestors could not escape from that passage was because they were afraid of the demon dragon in the water prison.
Besides, the main reason is actually that I can’t pry open the iron fence.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guo said from the side: "This is not a problem, we can use high explosives to blow open the iron fence."
"What are high explosives?" Kuroki asked doubtfully. He was born and raised here, and when his ancestors were kidnapped and brought here, there were no explosives in the world, so naturally he had never heard of explosives.
Li Guo didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment, so he could only say: "High explosives are a very powerful weapon that can break mountains and break rocks."
"There are such powerful weapons?" Kuroki was very surprised.
But upon hearing that Li Guo wanted to use explosives, Wen Qingshan immediately expressed his opposition. He said: "No explosives!"
"Why?" Li Guo asked.
Wen Qingshan explained: "If explosives are used, there will be a lot of noise, which will alert the evil spirits."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old ghost beside him said: "Don't worry, even if there is a big noise, the evil spirits won't take it seriously."
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled: "Senior Old Ghost, what do you mean by this?"
The old ghost said meaningfully: "Because earthquakes are common in this ghost place. The evil spirits have long been used to it."
Hearing what he said, I immediately understood what he meant. There is an extremely large three-headed dragon beast in this Yin Lake, and its activities may cause earthquakes. Wen Qingshan naturally understood it.
, said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that the existence of the giant monster is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it can paralyze the evil spirit."
"In this case, without further ado, let's go to the lake now!" Li Guo was already a little impatient.
Wen Qingshan nodded, walked slowly to the cliff, and looked down. I also walked up and took a look below. Wearing night vision goggles, in fact, I couldn't see clearly what was going on below.
I don’t know how high it is exactly, but it feels like the cliff is very steep. If you want to go down from here, you have to use a rope.
Wen Qingshan took out a bundle of climbing ropes from his backpack. He fixed one end of the rope on a sharp stone, threw the other end off the cliff, and then climbed down along the rope, followed by others.
Later.
The lakeside is close to the cliff and there is no place to stay, so after we went down, we could only go straight into the water. What I didn't expect was that the moment I took my hand, I felt like my body was being poured.
It was like lead, and it sank directly. I quickly reached out and grabbed a protruding stone on the cliff wall, and then stabilized my body.
I was shocked at first, but then I realized that the protective suit I was wearing was too heavy. This protective suit had a built-in mechanical skeleton with a steel frame, weighing forty or fifty kilograms. Although I didn’t feel it when I walked,
But once we fell into the water, it became a complete burden. Although each of us still
I'm carrying a big backpack, but the backpack is okay. It's made of waterproof material, and there is air inside, so it has a certain buoyancy, but the protective clothing on my body is not. If you swim in such an outfit, even if you can
If you hold on for a while and a half, you probably won't be able to swim very far.
Wen Qingshan and Li Guo were in the same situation as me. Wen Qingshan was also wearing protective clothing. Wen Qingshan held the cliff with one hand and turned to Li Guo and asked: "Captain Li, why is this outfit so heavy? It's not the so-called super soldier equipment.
? Have you never considered encountering this situation? "
Li Guo said angrily: "These guys only know how to hide in the research institute and talk about war on paper. I guess they have never considered amphibious warfare capabilities at all! After I go back this time, I must report it to the superiors!"
The old ghost on the side laughed happily and said: "Hey, I say you three should take off these bastard shells quickly and dress like a bastard, but don't feed yourselves to the bastard in this lake!"
Although the old ghost's words are harsh, they are not unreasonable. Although the protective performance of this equipment is very superior, and the mechanical skeleton is also very useful, it has become a burden now. We have no choice but to take off the protective clothing.
came down, but continued to wear the helmet because the night vision goggles were connected to the helmet.
And the moment I took off the protective clothing, I suddenly felt a biting coldness. This yin lake is located deep underground and has never been exposed to sunlight for thousands of years. The temperature in this cave is originally low, and the lake water is naturally cold.
It was extremely cold, probably only a few degrees at most. I couldn't help shivering. In order to prevent the danger of hypothermia, I quickly circulated the inner energy in my body to resist the invasion of the cold air.
Wen Qingshan turned to Kuromu and asked: "Brother Kuromu, which direction should we swim now?"
Kuroki waved his hand and said, "Come with me! Everyone, please move as gently as possible, so as not to disturb the evil spirits above." After he finished speaking, he swam in one direction, and the others hurriedly followed.
The water in the lake was so cold that I felt as if my hands and feet were freezing. In this case, cramps in the legs and feet are very easy to occur. In order to prevent someone from having an accident, everyone tried to stay as close together as possible so that they could take care of each other.
The group of people swam forward for about a hundred meters and finally touched the stone wall again.
Everyone was exhausted, and everyone was out of breath. Kuroki took a moment to calm down, then raised his finger and pointed to the top of the steep stone wall, gasping and saying: "This... this is the gate of Sirius Castle."
After hearing what he said, I raised my head and took a look, but because I was wearing night vision goggles, I couldn't see very clearly. And looking up from this angle, I couldn't tell what the legendary Sirius Castle was.
appearance, but you can still feel its majestic momentum.
Wen Qingshan asked Kuroki: "Is the entrance to the secret passage just down here?"
Kuroki nodded and said, "It's just two feet below the surface of the water, but I'm not sure exactly where it is. Please wait a moment, and I'll go down to explore."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and was about to dive into the water. Looking at his appearance, I was really afraid that he would never be able to get back out after diving, so I quickly reached out to catch him and said:
"Brother Kuroki, leave this job to me!"
Unexpectedly, Kuroki said, "Let me do it. It's even colder under the water. I'm afraid it's hard for you to adapt."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can ask Senior Wuchenzi for help. He has an evil body, and no matter how cold the water is, it won't hurt him at all."
After saying that, I summoned Wuchenzi again from the stone tablet.
Wuchenzi did some research and determined the location of the entrance to the secret passage. Just as Kuroki said, the entrance was about two feet deep below the lake surface, and in the middle of the passage, there was really an iron fence blocking it.
After listening to what Wuchenzi said, we decided to go into the water to have a look, but everyone is very tired now, and the iron fence has not been opened. If we all go into the water, we are afraid of danger. After some discussion, we decided that Long Jian and I would be the ones to take the plunge.
Go down first and install the high explosives to blow open the iron fence.
In fact, when it comes to installing explosives, Long Jiansheng and I are both laymen, and Li Guocai is an expert. The reason why such a professional task is given to us is because it takes a long time to install explosives underwater, and ordinary people cannot do it underwater.
The time for holding one's breath is quite limited. Even if Li Guo has been trained in this area, he can only hold it for three to five minutes at most.
When he is so tired, it is probably good to be able to hold it in for a minute or two. If he is asked to install the explosives, I am afraid that he will have to surface for air before the installation is completed. As for Long Jiansheng and I
We both have practiced fetal breathing techniques, and it doesn't matter even if we don't breathe for a long time underwater, so this drudgery naturally fell on us.
Li Guo took out high explosives from his backpack, handed them to us, and explained to us the specific installation method of the explosives. We then took the explosives and swam underwater.
What I didn't expect was that the night vision device was completely ineffective in the water. My eyes were completely black and I couldn't see anything. I had no choice but to explore the stone wall with my hands and slowly swim down.
After swimming for a while, I finally found an arc-shaped entrance. I immediately got in and groped inside for a while. Sure enough, I found a row of iron railings. These iron railings were not ordinary thick and were thick enough for an adult.
With an iron railing as thick as an arm, it's no wonder that the ancestors of the Hei family couldn't pry it open.
Now that I have penetrated into the passage, I am not afraid of being discovered by the evil spirits on the stone bridge when I turn on the light, so I turned on the search light of my helmet, but just in case, I adjusted the brightness of the light to the lowest level.
With the help of the dim light, I finally saw the situation in front of me clearly. The diameter of this passage was about one meter, and in the center was an iron fence. The fence was covered with dark green moss, but it was still very strong.
I took out the high explosives that Li Guo gave me and installed them with Long Jiansheng. We worked hard for a while before finally installing the explosives. But whether we could blow up the iron fence, I was wondering.
No bottom.
The two of us exited the passage and swam aside for a short distance. After making sure that we would not be accidentally injured by the explosives, I pressed the start button in my hand. With a muffled "bang" sound, I felt the stone wall suddenly shake.
