Chapter 731 The trapped beast escapes, and Xiangxiaoyu perishes!
The ripples on the water gradually stopped as the two entered the channel, leaving only the rope swaying gently on the water.
Due to time constraints, Dragon Prisoner and Po Dao cannot move slowly underwater. They need to find the exit as soon as possible, otherwise they will return in vain.
Qin Chuan frowned and stared at the water, watching the rope being lowered section by section, and time passed by second by second. Three minutes had passed before his eyes.
Even for experts like them, whose aura is much higher than that of ordinary people, three minutes is not a short time, and it is also a time that makes everyone nervous.
Suddenly, the rope shook violently, which was the signal agreed upon before: Long Prisoner and Po Dao had successfully reached the other side!
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining rope. It was about thirty meters, which meant that this waterway was almost seventy meters, which was in line with his budget.
"As expected, seventy meters is not a very long distance. It can be accomplished by ordinary people, and it is not a problem for us." Qin Chuan said to everyone, making them feel relieved.
"Isn't it a little too smooth?" Bai Lu asked suspiciously.
She didn't believe in the dragon prisoner, and now that the dragon prisoner had successfully passed through, she still didn't believe it.
"Okay, why do you, a woman, have so many doubts? If you have anything to say, go ahead and talk about it!" Gui Hai Eilai said to Bai Lu with a speechless expression.
"Okay, take a deep breath, line up and walk along the rope. I'll be in charge of the rear!" Qin Chuan said.
Everyone followed Qin Chuan's instructions and entered the underwater passage one by one, walking quickly along the rope. Qin Chuan tied the rope to a protruding stone and watched the others walking through one by one, until in the end only the
Suta.
"You go over first!" Qin Chuan signaled to Su Ta.
"I'll come with you!" Suta said.
The two people then entered the passage one after the other and walked forward along the passage.
This passage is as tall as a person. It is quite spacious and very convenient to pass through. The inner wall of the passage is covered with green seaweed. It seems that the passage is underwater most of the time.
Occasionally, some small fish would pass through the passage, but nothing else was special. Because of the rope, people walked through the passage much faster. Qin Chuan calculated the distance and it was almost there.
And Qin Chuan saw that there was more than one passage here, but many forks. However, every time a fork appeared, there would be an eye-catching arrow on it.
The ropes passed through all the forks marked with arrows. There was no doubt that Long Qian and the others followed the signs. Otherwise, there were so many forks that they would not have been able to go on the right path smoothly.
"Could it be him again?" Qin Chuan wondered in his heart.
There is no doubt that the person who can provide them with signs and guidance here is naturally the man in black from before!
But the traces of these signs are different from the previous ones. The previous ones looked new at first glance. These signs are obviously older and have been covered with green moss.
Therefore, the greater possibility is that these signs were made by someone when they were traveling through the area, and most likely when they were traveling from that area to the Phoenix Blood Palace, and this person was most likely the Dragon Prisoner.
Dragon Prisoner originally discovered this passage and walked along it to Phoenix Blood Palace, but found that this passage had many side roads, so in order to prevent him from forgetting the way back, he marked all these passages.
After walking another ten meters or so, a light spot appeared in front of me. It was very eye-catching in the darkness. There was no doubt that it was coming from someone who had already arrived.
Qin Chuan turned his head and gestured to Suta, and then saw that Suta seemed to be very insistent, and his breath was almost reaching the limit.
But it wasn't a big problem, because the distance was already very close, so Qin Chuan pulled her over to speed up her pace.
Suddenly, the rope in Qin Chuan's hand loosened, and the tight rope suddenly broke, and it broke in the direction of their target.
It is absolutely impossible to say that the dragon prisoner and the others were able to escape it, so it could only be that someone deliberately cut it off midway.
It was not a problem if the rope broke. However, Qin Chuan and Su Ta felt a tightness behind them, and the water flow rotated rapidly, forming a huge suction force.
Underwater undercurrent!
Qin Chuan was shocked. He didn't know why underwater undercurrents suddenly appeared in this kind of passage. This is in the water, and no matter how good your body is, it can't resist the terrible power of nature.
The water in the passage suddenly turned rapidly, and the suction force behind them became stronger and stronger, as if there was a huge monster in the dark passage, opening its bloody mouth to suck them into its mouth.
Qin Chuan and Su Ta were struggling to move, and their bodies were out of control. They spun with the swirling water and were about to be sucked into the rapids.
There are dense passages here, and Qin Chuan and the others are about to run out of breath. If they are swept away by this rapid current, there can only be one outcome!
Qin Chuan reacted quickly. When he lost his balance, he grabbed a piece of brick extending out of the passage with one hand and grabbed Suta's arm with the other hand. The two people's bodies were suspended in the passage.
.
But this is not a long-term solution, not to mention how long the physical strength can last. The key is that the breath is no longer enough, and the result is still swept away by the rapid current after a minute.
A bright light flashed, and it was the dragon prisoner who was swimming quickly with a rope tied to his body. As soon as the rope was broken, the people on the other side knew that something was wrong, and of course their first reaction was to come to the rescue quickly.
But Dragon Prisoner obviously underestimated the power of the underwater current, and it was extremely difficult to control his body in the water. If it weren't for the ropes, he would have been swept away by the current.
Fortunately, he tried to stabilize his body according to the characteristics of the rapid current, quickly reached Qin Chuan's side, and tied the extra rope directly to Qin Chuan's body.
Pulling the rope gave a signal to the other side, who immediately started pulling. But the rapids were too strong, and it was too difficult to pull three people.
It is not because those people are not strong enough, but because they are afraid that the rope will not be able to hold up if it continues like this for a long time. Once the rope breaks, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and even the dragon prisoner who came to rescue people will have to get in with him.
Suta reached out and grabbed Qin Chuan's hand, signaling Qin Chuan to give up on her. At this time, Suta could no longer hold on, and his breath was almost at its limit.
Qin Chuan did not obey. No matter what Suta's identity was, he was not happy for Suta to die here. If she was innocent, Qin Chuan would also find evidence to prove her innocence. If she was really the heir of Evil Chigusa,
Qin Chuan would ask Long Prisoner to kill her.
Rather than let her die here and let all this remain an unknown mystery forever.
Suta didn't seem to have the will to live. She wanted to say something to Qin Chuan, as if she was saying her final farewell, but she couldn't speak in the water.
Suddenly, Suta tightened his grip on Qin Chuan, got close to his body, put his lips on Qin Chuan's mouth, and blew all his last breath into Qin Chuan.
Then, she gave Qin Chuan a sad smile, reached out and pinched the tendons on Qin Chuan's hand, and Qin Chuan let go of Su Ta in pain.
Suta's image was fixed on that smile. The next second, the rapid current swallowed Suta's body. She was spinning and wrapped in the rapid current, and then disappeared without a trace.
