Evil Spirit Book

Chapter 44 Champion

The team continued to move forward, due to everyone's deliberate 'tricks' and the natural and changeable waterways, soon there were only four of the eleven bamboo rafts left. A person who doesn't have a lot of meat but is very capable, I didn't expect that he doesn't look as strong as me, but he can be so powerful.

There are still four rafts left, including last year's champion and Bada, and Doro has unfortunately been 'framed' into the water and went back in despair. The remaining one is older than us and brought a The partners, one fat and one thin, are about the same age, both in their thirties.

At this point, we have advanced very deep, and the leader is still last year's champion. First, his skills are really good, and second, he is tall and powerful, which has a natural advantage.At this moment, the water situation has gradually calmed down, but the waterway becomes narrower and narrower as it goes forward. Due to the dim light of the scenery, it is impossible to see beyond three meters, so it is unknown what terrain is ahead. The ghost Chen sat cross-legged and sat securely at the end of the bamboo raft, while Die Cai and I wobbled, and if we were careless, we would fall into the water.

The champion who leads the first place is the target of all of us chasing. Almost all eyes are on the raft. Seeing that the distance is getting bigger and bigger, I just want to encourage Chi Zhu to cheer him up, but the champion in front of me suddenly disappears. up.

This scene was witnessed by almost everyone, and there were gasps of surprise one after another in the waterway.

what happened?This scene came so suddenly that we all froze for a moment, and then Bada, who was ahead of the second place, immediately rowed towards the position before the champion, and the dim yellow wind lantern was swaying, as if it would go out at any moment.

However, when he got to where the champ had been, he held his ground and then gestured to us to come forward.The lighting was dim, and I couldn't see Bada's specific expression clearly. I only felt that his hand gestures were urgent, as if he had made some important discovery.

Our remaining two rafts hurried to catch up, and as the light of the wind lamp gathered together, the environment in front of it was gradually revealed. It was a narrow entrance, the entrance was so high that it was almost impossible to see the bottom, but It was so narrow that only one raft could pass through it, and at the moment, Bada's raft was at that entrance, keeping us all behind.He obviously discovered something, looked ahead, and remained silent.

This village has no electricity, no electrical appliances at all, not even a flashlight, and the light from the kerosene wind lamp is too dim. The two rafts behind us can hardly see what is going on in front of us.

The skinny man on the other bamboo raft asked, "What's going on?" He jumped onto Bada's raft and walked towards Bada's position as he said that. On Da's bamboo raft, the small bamboo raft suddenly seemed a little crowded.

The three of us huddled at the entrance, looking forward with the wind lanterns on our respective rafts, and I was stunned when I saw it.

I saw this narrow water mouth. For some reason, a cave with a drop of about three or four meters appeared in front of me, and Bada’s raft was stranded at this narrow entrance. If I didn’t stop in time just now, the raft would fall Fall directly into the water hole below.

It is estimated that the champion just arrived. At this moment, there is an overturned bamboo raft under the water hole, but the champion is gone.

I was stunned, and then asked: "You guys have always been on the same waterway during the competition, don't you know there is a water hole here?"

Bada frowned and shook his head, and said, "I didn't participate last year, but I passed by here when I participated a few years ago. There is no water hole in front. I guess...the water level in front has dropped."

Anyone who knows a little about water knows that in the same lake or river, if the water level is going to drop, it must drop at the same time, but our current situation is obviously abnormal.The water level at the back has not changed, but the water level in front has dropped to reveal a water hole with a drop of four or five meters. This proves that with this narrow entrance as the boundary, the water in front has dropped at least four or five meters.

This thing can be strange.

I doubt it is caused by some special environment of the water cave, but the light is so bad that it is not easy to barely see the overturned bamboo raft below.But compared to this, we are of course more concerned about the safety of the champion. Person No. [-] immediately shouted the name of the champion towards the water below. Only then did I know that the name of the champion is Sangze, which means having a heart as broad as a lake.

The water surface below was pitch black, and only the light yellow bamboo raft could be vaguely seen. Our shouts were recalled in the water hole, but there was no response from Sangze.

The skinny man was very vigilant, he immediately said: "Maybe the bamboo raft fell suddenly, Sangze was unprepared, he might have drowned."

"Ah." Die Cai panicked immediately, and said, "Then what should I do?"

At this time, Qizhu was relatively calm. He thought for a while and analyzed: "The chance of drowning should not be high. Sangze has good water quality, which is obvious to all. The water level below has dropped very strangely. There are large caves, under the movement of geothermal heat, water is flowing, and now, the water below must be very unstable, and Sangze suddenly fell, and may be involved in a large cave."

Although he is a mountain dweller, he has received modern education, and his analysis is different. His meaning is very clear. From the perspective of geography, there is only one possibility for the water level to drop so strangely, that is, there are large water holes below. The caves were not visible when they were flooded before, but if some geological movement occurs underground, these water caves will play a role, resulting in unequal water levels.

I quite agree with Qi Zhu's meaning, and said: "If this is the case, then Sangze is in danger. The bottom here was originally submerged in the water, but now it is exposed. The environment below is unknown, and no one has been there. Sangze And there is no light, if you bump into it, it may be fatal."

Everyone nodded one after another, and finally decided to go down to save people first.In order to adapt to the environment of the water cave, our bamboo rafts are designed to be relatively small. It can accommodate four people, and if a fifth person is seated, accidents are easy to happen. For two groups, throw two bamboo rafts down, and then search and rescue.

Because of the preparations, we went down relatively smoothly. There were not many changes in the personnel. The group consisted of Bada, Shouzi, and Diecai, and I, Ghost Chen, and Qizhu. The light is barely enough to see the environment clearly.

This water hole is in the shape of a water drop, relatively large, and there are obvious water marks of different shades on the surrounding stone walls. It can be seen that this water hole has been submerged under the water before.

We searched around the water caves, and as expected, there are many large water caves hidden around here, which should be hollows formed by ancient geological movements. Some are big and some are small, some are above the water, and some are still hidden in the water. The bottom is criss-crossed and winding, making it difficult to judge.

If Sangze was really drawn into one of the water holes by the current, is it the hole above the water or the hole under the water?

If it is underwater, there is almost no possibility of Sangze surviving, because at least 8 minutes have passed since he fell into the water and disappeared, and 8 minutes can completely kill a person by drowning.

But if it is a water hole, we found a total of five, three of which are only less than [-] centimeters above the horizontal line, and it is impossible for our raft to enter. There are two remaining holes, which are relatively large and exposed to the horizontal line. The hole on the top is about one person high, and they are the only two holes that we can find by rafting, but it is hard to say whether Sanze was involved.

Everyone couldn't come up with a solution for a while, and couldn't make a judgment.I waited for a minute, thinking that it would be impossible to continue like this. Saving people is like putting out a fire, and I can't delay for a second. Although I can't get in touch with Sang Ze, as the so-called parental heart of a doctor, I can't let each life go.

Finally I said: "It's not a solution for us to waste it like this. After Sangze fell into the water, if he was drawn into a certain water hole, it must be because of an undercurrent under the water. Let's find out the direction of the water flow, and find the hole it points to." For the rest, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

Although this is not pleasant to say, it is the only way at the moment. Fortunately, several people are reasonable. Qi Zhu nodded solemnly, took off his clothes, and prepared to test the water.
