Monkey Lao San carried Monkey Lao Si on his back and jumped down from a tree at the outermost part of the jungle.
The monkey boss shouted at it: "Third brother, that ugly man is chasing you! You can't enter the spiritual spring now, he will find the entrance!"
Monkey Lao San turned around and glared at Lu Dong fiercely.
Lu Dong felt the anger in its eyes and couldn't help but stop.
"I can detoxify it!"
He tried to communicate with the monkeys.
Unfortunately, although he could understand the monkey's speech, the monkey could not understand him.
The third monkey yelled at the monkey boss: "I can't control that much anymore! If I delay it any longer, the fourth child will really die! This ugly man seems to be scared by me, so I carry the fourth child on my back and go in first. Humans are so stupid.
It should be impossible to know that the entrance to the spiritual spring is underwater!"
After Monkey Lao San finished speaking, he turned around and ran quickly towards the Dragon Breath Stone.
Lu Dong's eyes were half closed.
Spiritual Spring? The entrance is under the water?
I saw Monkey Lao San go to the outermost part of the Dragon's Breath Stone, turn over, jump, and climb down directly.
Lu Dong finally saw a pair of wise eyes glaring at him, and then the entire monkey disappeared outside the Dragon's Breath Stone.
Monkey Boss and Monkey Laoer also ran up.
Zhuang Xiaoman wanted to catch up, but Lu Dong stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Let them go first, I probably know where they will go!"
Lu Dong smiled.
Looking at the location where the macaque disappeared, he immediately connected the spiritual spring and the crypt.
It seems that the crypt does exist, and the entrance to Lingquan is also the entrance to the crypt!
A few minutes later…
Zhuang Xiaoman lay on the edge of the Dragon's Breath Stone, stuck his head out and looked down. The four macaques just jumped from this position.
The wind and waves carried a lot of water vapor, causing her bangs to swing from side to side like the windshield wipers of a car.
But all I could see was that the rapids below were surging, and the rocks hitting the rocks kept making explosive sounds. There was no trace of the macaques at all!
"Oops, those four macaques must have been forced into the water by us and washed away, right?"
Zhuang Xiaoman turned around worriedly, only to find Lu Dong squatting on the edge of the dragon's breath stone on the back side of the water.
On that side, the rapids formed a backwater bay.
Lu Dong is studying this backwater bay.
If the so-called spiritual spring entrance mentioned by the macaques is really under the water, the only possibility is this backwater bay.
The water flow in other locations is too fast. Even if there is an entrance, the monkeys will be washed away immediately after entering the water, making it impossible to enter.
Those macaques actually got clever and deliberately went down on the side that was not the entrance, and then sneaked around underneath!
Lu Dong showed a playful smile.
"Those monkeys must have sneaked under this inlet."
He said to Zhuang Xiaoman who came to him.
"No way? They can actually make trouble in the east and west, are they so smart?"
Zhuang Xiaoman looked down and saw that the water flow in the backwater bay was indeed very gentle, but he did not see any entrance.
"I want to go into the water to find out."
Lu Dong put down the medicine basket he was carrying. There were not many herbs in it. The most precious one was the Panax notoginseng that he dug up at the beginning.
"I'm very good at water, let me go too!"
Zhuang Xiaoman immediately recommended himself.
Lu Dong raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Okay."
The dragon's breath stone is more than 20 meters away from the water. Fortunately, the outside of the dragon's breath stone is not smooth. With the abilities of Lu Dong and Zhuang Xiaoman, it is not particularly difficult to climb down.
Lu Dong went first, and Zhuang Xiaoman followed him.
After going down to about 10 meters, the focus point is not so easy to find.
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Dong raised his head and shouted to Zhuang Xiaoman.
Finally, when he raised his head, his eyes were right on Zhuang Xiaoman's round buttocks.
A pair of long legs were spread apart to the left and right, standing on a protruding stone, with his hands in the cracks of the stone.
The whole thing is like a beautiful octopus, clinging to the boulder, with an outstanding figure and a charming posture.
"What's wrong?"
Zhuang Xiaoman turned his head slightly to the side, lowered his head and asked.
"Ahem... I'll make a strong point first, otherwise you won't be able to get off!"
After Lu Dong finished speaking, he gathered profound energy in his hands and dug out two small pits on the stone.
Zhuang Xiaoman watched Lu Dong easily dig out two small holes on the hard rock with his bare hands, and couldn't help but admire him even more.
These fingers are so amazing!
Not long after, they arrived below.
There were several rocks that were barely enough to stand on, and the two of them stood on two larger rocks.
When he arrived here, Lu Dong felt a little confused.
You can see a lot of rocks at the bottom of the water. The few protruding rocks are just the tip of the iceberg.
To find the crypt, you must dive into the water, find the path to the crypt between the cracks in the rocks, and then dive up again when you reach the crypt.
Although the current here is not fast, it is bottomless. If you accidentally swim out of the backwater bay, you will be washed away by the rapids immediately!
In such an unknown underwater exploration, the strength of the warrior does not mean much, and one cannot just smash things under the water.
"Brother Xiaodong, let me go down and take a look first. I am small and good at water!"
Zhuang Xiaoman volunteered and said.
Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "Okay, be careful, don't force it, come out first if you can't find it, and try a few more times!"
If Zhuang Xiaoman was really washed away by the water, he should be able to rescue her in time.
"I know!"
Seeing that Lu Dong cared so much about her, Zhuang Xiaoman responded with a sweet smile and jumped into the water without hesitation.
She dived into the water in an instant, and Lu Dong could no longer see her figure.
30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes...
Lu Dong couldn't help but become a little nervous.
He always paid attention to the rapids outside and listened carefully to the sound of rushing water to see if there was any abnormal noise.
Finally, a full 3 minutes later!
Lu Dong saw a graceful figure swimming up quickly from the water.
It’s Zhuang Xiaoman!
"Crash!"
She dived out of the water, and the water continued to flow from her hair.
Zhuang Xiaoman's feet kept flapping in the water to keep herself floating in the water.
She stretched out her hand, wiped the water on her face, and while breathing heavily, she happily said to Lu Dong: "I found it! It can indeed lead to a cave! Phew——"
"Have you seen those four macaques?" Lu Dong asked.
Zhuang Xiaoman was startled, "No... the cave is probably quite big. I just poked my head out to take a look, and then came back quickly... How about I go and confirm it again?"
Lu Dong said: "That's not necessary. I'll just go with you this time. Do you want to come up and rest for a while?"
Zhuang Xiaoman shook his wet head and said: "No need, I am ready now and can dive again at any time!"
"That's good!"
Lu Dong jumped into the water.
"Then let's set off. The closer we get to the cave, the higher the water temperature will be. Just swim in the direction with the higher water temperature!"
Zhuang Xiaoman told Lu Dong the most critical point and dived into the water.
Lu Dong also dived in.
There are clusters of strange rocks at the bottom of the water, and the huge dragon's breath stone extends downwards, with no roots visible.
Lu Dong followed Zhuang Xiaoman through the strange rocks...
