"In this case, Situ and I will go down the well, and the three of you will pay attention to the surroundings to see if there is any movement." Ning Qingyan made a quick decision.
That’s okay! The four of them nodded.
Situ Bu and Ning Qingyan chose different wells to jump down, while the three people who stayed above, Xue Ya and Ming Xiu, each stayed outside the two wells, while Bai Xuan paid attention to the movements in the village.
…
As soon as Ning Qingyan entered the well, the fairy energy automatically formed a transparent water-proof cover around her.
The concentrated immortal energy in her eyes has not dissipated, allowing her to see at the bottom of the well.
The well was very deep. Ning Qingyan sank into it for a long time and still had not reached the bottom. The well water was cold all around, and the black air in the water seemed to be heavier.
"Seven wells for a small village are too many." Zhao Yun sent a message to Ning Qingyan.
Ning Qingyan nodded, she also felt it was too much.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhao Yun called out to Ning Qingyan who was sinking.
Ning Qingyan immediately kept her body sinking and still. Zhao Yun could only see through the jade pendant she wore around her neck, so he must have discovered something in front of her.
"Ayun, what did you see?" Ning Qingyan also looked forward and saw nothing else after exiting the well wall.
"The scratches on the well wall seem to be caused deliberately." Zhao Yun said.
scratches!
Following Zhao Yun's reminder, Ning Qingyan also noticed the scratches on the well wall.
In fact, she also noticed these scratches while sinking, but she thought they were caused unintentionally while digging the well and did not pay much attention to them.
She followed the scratches up, and they seemed to be all over the well wall.
Zhao Yun said nothing, and Ning Qingyan did not urge him.
In this way, after she hovered still in the well for a while, she waited for Zhao Yun's voice: "Okay, let's continue going down."
Ning Qingyan then controlled the water shield and continued to sink. "Have you written it all down?"
"Yes." Zhao Yun, who was wearing a jade pendant, nodded, with a confident curve at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Zhao Yun's response, Ning Qingyan's lips also raised.
With the previous discovery, Ning Qingyan's sinking speed slowed down, and Zhao Yun would ask her to stop from time to time to observe the scratches.
After several times in a row, Ning Qingyan also discovered that these scratches were almost identical, which undoubtedly confirmed Zhao Yun's guess that these scratches were carved deliberately.
Finally, Ning Qingyan sank to the bottom of the well.
As soon as she arrived, she heard movement in the water coming from far away.
Buzz!
Ning Qingyan held the edgeless sword in her hand and stared at the place where the movement came from.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the water in front of her, and a figure appeared in front of her, and the other person obviously noticed her.
"Situ?" Ning Qingyan called out the person's name.
"Captain!" Situ Bu was also surprised.
He actually met Ning Qingyan in the well?
When they went down into the well before, the well they chose was some distance away.
Situ Bu quickly approached, and after confirming that the person in front of him was really Ning Qingyan, he exclaimed: "Could it be that the bottom of these wells are all connected to each other?"
"That's about it." Ning Qingyan nodded.
She asked Situ Bu: "Did you find anything when you came?"
Situ Bu shook his head, "There is nothing except water."
Ning Qingyan thought for a while, then directly made a few scratches with the edgeless sword.
The sword energy swung has a faint golden color, which appears in the water.
"When you came down, did you find any scratches like this on the well wall?" Ning Qingyan asked.
"Is there something weird about this scratch?" Situ Bu asked subconsciously.
Without waiting for Ning Qingyan to answer, he nodded affirmatively: "I've seen it before! However, I thought it was an ordinary scratch caused when drilling a well, so I didn't look too carefully, but it does look like this."
"That's really weird." Ning Qingyan smiled softly.
The two did not expect to meet in the water, so they walked together and continued to explore in the water.
However, the light at the bottom of the well is even worse, and it is blocked by water. The most important thing is that there seems to be black smoke in the water, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Ning Qingyan was okay, but after Situ Bu endured it, veins popped up on his body, "Captain, I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel like I'm about to go crazy."
"Go back first!" Ning Qingyan noticed that Situ Bu's eyes were filled with scarlet red, and he was trying his best to restrain himself.
"What about you, captain?" Situ Bu asked worriedly.
"I……"
"Yan'er, go back first."
Zhao Yun's words made Ning Qingyan pause for a moment and then changed her words, "Of course I will go back together."
Situ Bu nodded, and the two of them returned along the original route.
However, since we know that the bottoms of the wells are connected, there is no need to separate the well heads.
When Ning Qingyan and Situ Bu emerged from the bottom of the well one after another, Mingxiu, who was guarding the mouth of the well, was startled.
"Captain? Situ, why did you two come out of here together?"
Situ Bu was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. As soon as he got out of the well, he walked directly to the open space beside him and sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
Mingxiu saw this and asked Ning Qingyan: "Captain, what's wrong with Situ?"
"There seems to be something at the bottom of the well that can make people's immortal energy float wildly, and Situ was somewhat affected." Ning Qingyan said.
As soon as she came up, she sent a message to Xue Ya and Bai Xuan, and after they came to meet up, she told the three of them what was going on.
"The bottoms of the wells are actually connected to each other? This is so strange! If this is the case, why did this village build seven wells?" Bai Xuan exclaimed in disbelief.
