Jianjian immediately agreed: "That's right! I don't think that boy Bai Xiaowu is that bold. He will risk being attacked by monsters and dive in from the water? Unless he doesn't know that there are monsters in the pool at all, or is like my brother
That said, he found another entrance into the cave."
After what we said, Seabeard also felt that it was reasonable. He said, "Since that's the case, let's look around to see if there are other entrances."
As soon as everyone stood up, Wen Qingshan stopped everyone. He stared at the seven-eight-meter-wide waterfall and said, "There's no need to look for it. I think Bai Xiaowu swam into the ** rock from the water."
"No, isn't he afraid of monsters in the water?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan pointed his hand towards the waterfall and said, "That's because he used the waterfall as a cover!"
"Use the waterfall as cover? What kind of cover?" I was completely confused.
Wen Qingshan said: "Due to poor visibility underwater, most predators in the water determine the location of their prey based on the vibrations of the water patterns. The huge impact caused by the waterfall will affect their ability to sense the vibrations of the water patterns.
Moreover, the water flow below the waterfall is rapid and the undercurrent is surging, so generally speaking, predators in the water will not attack their prey directly below the waterfall."
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, Huang Yixian was slightly startled and said, "Boss Wen, do you mean that we can enter the water directly from the waterfall and then dive into the ** rock?"
Wen Qingshan nodded.
His analysis sounds reasonable, but everyone is still worried. After all, we still can't figure out what is hidden in the water, and we don't know whether it is reasonable to use common sense to infer. What's more, it is difficult to get into the water from the waterfall.
It is not an easy task. Even though this waterfall is only a few meters high, the impact it creates is definitely not small. Even for people who are not strong enough to swim, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. Huang Yixian expressed his worries.
After thinking for a while, Seabeard raised his head and said, "Well, let me go down and take a look first!"
"Brother Hai, are you planning to go into the water from the waterfall? It's too dangerous!" Huang Yixian said worriedly.
Seabeard said: "Don't worry, I have received professional training in this area! Later, I will tie a rope to my body. If I successfully enter the cave, I will pull the rope a few times and then fix the rope. You guys can
Sneak in along the rope. By the way, your backpack can be fastened to the rope with a slide buckle and pushed underwater, which will make it much easier."
After hearing this, Wen Qingshan nodded immediately: "This is a good idea!"
"What if we encounter a water monster?" Jianjian blurted out.
Seabeard took out a pistol with a strange shape and a large caliber from his backpack, held it in his hand and raised it, saying: "I still have this thing. If I really encounter a water monster, I will fight it!"
I asked curiously: "What kind of gun is this?"
Seabeard replied: "This is a flare gun. It can also shoot underwater. And don't underestimate its power. It can kill a wild boar at close range!"
Wen Qingshan looked at the signal gun in Hai Beard's hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, I don't feel comfortable letting you go in alone, Brother Hai. So, let me go in with you so that you can be taken care of."
"Boss Wen, have you also received professional training in this area?" Huang Yixian asked.
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little bit."
Now I finally understand. When he said "he knows a little bit", he basically meant he was quite proficient.
That's how it was decided. We packed up our equipment and walked around from the pool to the waterfall.
Seabeard opened his backpack and took out a bundle of professional climbing ropes made of nylon fiber. He quickly tied one end to his waist and the other end to a thick tree trunk next to the pool, and then
He and Wen Qingshan put on their diving suits and oxygen masks, and the two of them carefully dived into the pool from the waterfall.
As time passed by, there was no movement from the water. I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, worried that they might have encountered a terrifying man-eating water monster in the water.
After a few minutes, the rope tied to Seabeard's body was suddenly straightened, and a force could be felt pulling three times.
This is the signal we agreed on, indicating that they have successfully entered the ** rock.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was indeed a way to avoid the water monster.
Huang Yixian immediately ordered: "They have arrived, let's go into the water too."
The rest of us quickly got to work. We fastened the waterproof backpack on the straightened rope with a slide buckle, then put on our diving suits and oxygen masks, and prepared to go into the water. Unexpectedly, Fatty Niu was there at this time.
Said on the side: "Boss... boss, I... my water quality is not... not very good, I... I am a little scared..."
Hearing what he said, I suddenly thought, this guy is not good at swimming, he can't swim at all! I used to take Jianjian secretly to swim in the river, and every time this guy went with us, he would always swim.
The person who helps us look at our clothes seems to be no exception this time.
I said helplessly: "Fat Niu, I think you should wait for us outside!"
"What! I...I'm waiting for you outside alone?" Fatty Niu looked around and couldn't help but shudder.
This kid is born with cowardice. Now that he is left alone in this barren mountain, he will inevitably feel scared. But there is nothing we can do. Who said he can't swim? It would be better if it is a calm pool. The key is that this is a waterfall.
.
I had to comfort him and say: "Don't be afraid, it's broad daylight, nothing will happen!"
"Then...then you come out early."
I nodded, suddenly thought of something again, and told him: "By the way, don't get too close to this pool, stay away."
Fatty Niu naturally understood what I meant, and was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back. There happened to be a big tree with a crooked neck next to him, so he simply climbed onto the thick trunk and lay down.
Seeing this, Jianjian smiled and teased: "Don't fall asleep again, kid. It would be terrible if you fall from the tree and fall directly into the pool."
Fatty Niu's face turned red for a while, and he stammered: "I...I won't sleep! You...you go, remember...you must come out early."
I looked up and saw that the tree trunk that Fatty Niu was lying on was four to five meters above the ground. If he really fell, he would probably be half dead even if he didn't fall into the pool. The key is that this guy can sleep anywhere.
I felt a little uneasy and was about to ask him to come down. But Huang Yixian said: "It is said that there are wild boars and other wild animals in this mountain. It would be good to stay on the tree trunk! However, you'd better use a rope to fix your body.
.”
When Fatty Niu heard this, he laughed naively and said: "Haha, still... Master Huang has a way!" He immediately took out a bundle of climbing ropes from his backpack, and after a while, he firmly fixed his body to the tree trunk.
.
Looking at this, Fatty Niu should be very safe. Jianjian and I told him a few more words like "pay attention to safety", and then under the leadership of Huang Yixian, we dragged one of them from the position where Wen Qingshan and Haibeard just entered the water.
He took his backpack and dived into the pool.
Since I had no experience entering the water from the waterfall, the moment I entered the water, I immediately felt a strong downward impact and my body almost sank. Fortunately, I kept holding the rope firmly with my hand.
There was no accident. I didn't dare to be lazy and hurriedly swam along the rope to the inside of the waterfall. Unexpectedly, I immediately felt an upward buoyancy.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that there was a downward sinking force directly below the waterfall due to the impact of the water flow, and an upward buoyancy force was formed on both sides of the waterfall due to the rising water flow. I really didn't expect that.
, the situation under the waterfall was so complicated, I couldn't help but secretly thought: "Fortunately, Fatty Niu didn't go into the water with him."
I held on to the rope tightly and swam down with difficulty until I swam into a water hole about three meters in diameter, and the water flow finally eased a lot.
I used the waterproof miner's lamp on my head to look forward. The water was a little turbid and I couldn't see too far. I could only see a pair of feet paddling rhythmically two or three meters in front of me.
From time to time, there was a strange "gurgling" sound in the water, which seemed to be the sound of bubbles popping up from the bottom of the water, which made me feel a little scared. I turned my head to look from time to time, for fear that something was following us.
Sometimes, fear can infinitely amplify our imagination of unknown things. Knowing that there might be some kind of ferocious water monster in this pool, a terrifying scene appeared in my mind involuntarily: a picture suddenly appeared next to it.
The bloody mouth swallowed me up instantly.
The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became.
It was already very cold underwater, and my nerves were always tense. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my left calf muscle.
I couldn't help being shocked: "No, it's a cramp!"
Leg cramps while swimming are a very dangerous thing. It is said that up to 70% of people who are familiar with water drowning while swimming are caused by leg cramps.
I couldn't help but panic. I instinctively pushed hard and swam forward, hoping to swim out of the water as soon as possible. However, the leg cramps became more serious. I could hardly move my left calf. As long as I moved a little, it would be fine.
A sharp pain.
There was no way to continue like this. I took a few deep breaths of oxygen to ease my nervousness a little. Then I grabbed the rope tightly with one hand and stopped in the water. I used the other hand to gently knead the cramped part of my left calf.
