What makes me feel particularly strange is that Xiangyu did not struggle when he fell into the pool, but simply sank.
The situation seems a little bad.
Without any reason, I threw my head down and jumped into the pool with a "plop".
After jumping into the pool, I discovered that it turned out to be a salt brine pool.
The buoyancy of the pool is so great that I almost floated on the surface of the pool.
But why did Xiangyu sink straight down?
Did she discover something?
I swam towards the center of the pool with all my strength, but for some reason, as soon as I got close to the center of the pool, where the azure blue astrolabe had just been suspended, it seemed as if there was a mysterious force that kept pushing me out.
So I struggled for a long time in the middle of the pool, but couldn't get close to that place.
At this time, I realized that Xiangyu probably didn't fall, but found something while gliding and jumped off by himself.
If this was the case, it would explain why she did not struggle, but sank straight into the depths of the pool.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that since I couldn't get close to the center of the pool on the surface of the pool, why not sink down, or go to the bottom of the pool, where I would have a better chance of getting closer to the center.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and then sank.
The buoyancy of the salt brine pool is particularly strong, so when I sink, it actually takes more energy than swimming in normal water.
The depth of the pool was much greater than I thought. After sinking about ten meters, the stone borders around the pool suddenly disappeared. I was surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and it felt like I was in the deep sea.
Without the restrictions of the surrounding stone borders, I suddenly didn't know where the central area of the pool belonged.
Moreover, the incident happened suddenly, and we were not wearing any diving equipment.
So after soaking in the salt brine for a while, I already felt that the skin on my body began to ache.
What should I do? I have already dived more than ten meters, but I haven’t seen Xiangyu’s shadow yet. I don’t know where she went.
Logically speaking, my skin can no longer withstand the erosion of salt brine, so Xiangyu should also be affected.
Could it be that she has returned to the tunnel?
I thought so in my heart, and was hesitating whether to go back and take a look first.
But if Xiangyu does not return to the tunnel, then if I go back to look for her, the distance between the two of us will be even greater.
What to do?
Just when I was hesitating, there seemed to be something dancing in the water in the dark water ahead.
Is it Xiangyu?
Or the golden python.
I don't know why, but my eyes seem to be very different from those of ordinary people.
In addition to what we already knew about seeing better in the dark.
There is another feature that I just discovered, which is that even in this salt brine, without eye protection, my eyes can still be opened and I can see clearly within a certain range.
My heart skipped a beat. Is this another piece of evidence that I really have Sirian blood?
However, under the current emergency situation, I don't have much time to think about anything else. The most important thing now is to find Xiangyu first, because the concentration of this salt brine is too high, and I will stay here for a long time.
, not only the skin will be damaged, but also poisoning.
The shadow that has been floating in front of me and those movements are particularly like the symptoms after being poisoned.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated and swam forward with all my strength.
But I don’t know why, as I chased, the shadow in front of me also drifted forward.
It seems that he has always been keeping a close distance from me.
However, after following the shadow in front of me for a while, I became more and more convinced that the shadow in front of me was Xiangyu.
Moreover, she gave me the feeling that she was taking me somewhere.
After soaking in salt brine for too long, my body's "protection system" has started to activate, so those snake scales appeared on my skin from time to time.
With the protection of this layer of snake scales, the previous tingling sensation on the skin has gradually slowed down.
Also, I don’t know if it’s because of this layer of snake scale skin that I can swim more easily in this brine.
It didn't take long before I caught up with the shadow in front of me.
However, what surprised me was that the shadow in front of me was actually a white robe floating in the water, so when I looked at it from a distance, it looked like a person dancing in the water.
Where did Xiangyu go? Could it be that the center of the pool turned into a vacuum? So could she go straight down somewhere?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but regret not insisting on swimming to the center of the pool just now, and wasting my energy and time in the water.
The breath in my chest began to be insufficient, and my body's instinctive reaction made me float upwards.
The buoyancy in the salt brine is very strong, and I reached the surface of the water with almost no effort.
However, what shocked me was that what was in front of me was not the tunnel just now, but a rather spacious underground palace.
On the floor of the underground palace, there is a thick layer of black, smelly and sticky stuff.
As soon as my head came out of the water, I was suffocated by the stench emanating from that layer and I couldn't help but retch several times.
Suddenly, there was a huge shadow reflected on the wall in front of me.
That shadow was clearly a giant golden python.
The giant python is bigger than any we have seen before.
I felt that my phobia of giant objects was suddenly aroused, and my trembling body made me want to shout.
At this moment, his thin white hands covered his mouth that was about to scream.
I looked back and saw that it was Xiangyu.
There were still drops of water dripping from the wet hair.
Xiangyu shook his head towards me, signaling me not to speak.
I followed her and quietly climbed out of the pool.
Our movements were very light, and the golden python sleeping on the side of the wall was not even aware of it.
That golden python can really kill us with just one look, because its body is so big.
When I was in the water just now, I felt that the underground palace was relatively spacious. That was because most of the underground palace was already occupied by the body of this golden python.
Xiangyu and I walked carefully in the underground palace. The dark, sticky and smelly layer of stuff on the ground was extremely slippery. It felt like we would slip if we were not careful.
"The door is blocked by it." Xiangyu said almost in my ear.
"Then what should we do?" I said in a voice almost like a mosquito buzzing.
"It's sleeping right now, let's see if we can get around it," Xiangyu said.
"Go around, Xiangyu, are you kidding me? Go around it?" I said.
"If we move more gently, there shouldn't be any problem. Besides, the door is over there. If we don't go around it now, will we have to wait for it to wake up and make way for us?" Xiangyu asked in return.
Then, he took my hand without any explanation and moved towards the giant of the golden python.
Just when we were almost around the head of the golden python, I didn't know why, but my nose suddenly felt itchy.
Oops, must I be sneezing?
I thought secretly in my heart and couldn't help praying, but I must not sneeze at this juncture. If I can't control it, I have to wake up this big guy.
I really echoed those words, I was afraid of what would happen. I probably held it in for too long. When the sneeze came out of my nose, it was extremely strong.
By the way, it also made me slip.
This skidding made me rush straight towards the snoring golden python's big mouth.
Under my series of "attacks", the big guy opened his eyes instantly and stared at me with big eyes and small eyes.
