"Damn it, there really is an underground lake." Tang Feng cursed while standing by the lake.

Tang Feng looked helplessly at the underground lake in front of him. The surface of the lake was about ten meters wide and long... with no end in sight. The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror. "This underground lake is so beautiful, like a piece of green emerald." Liang Yuan exclaimed.

"I understand why the hall just now formed a magnificent stone waterfall. In ancient times, flowing water flowed from the hole above the hall and fell into the hall. It accumulated for thousands of years and continued to wash away, finally forming a spectacular stone waterfall. And the flowing water fell into the hall, then flowed into this oblate tunnel, and flowed all the way to this lake, finally forming this underground lake." Tang Feng explained.

Han Jiang had no interest in this, and said angrily: "What's the use of talking about it now, think about what we should do!"

"It seems that we have to fight to the death." Makarov actually knows the idiom "fight to the death".

Tang Feng didn't speak. He looked straight at the end of the underground lake with the light of the flashlight. How long is the underground lake?Is it possible to go ashore again after swimming to the other end?The air circulation here is still good, there should be a road at the other end of the lake, and the lake water is not very deep.Tang Feng made up his mind - to swim across the underground lake.

When he expressed his thoughts, everyone was surprised, even Han Jiang was quite surprised.Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan: "Can you swim?" Liang Yuan nodded, "I'm good at swimming, but I've never swam in such an underground lake. There won't be any water monsters in it, right?"

"Don't worry, there aren't even fish in it! That is to say, everyone can swim, so swim over. I guess the lake won't be too long." Tang Feng said firmly.

Makarov tried the temperature of the water. It was freezing cold. He frowned and said, "The water is very cold. Everyone must persevere and take care of each other. I will go down first." He dug out a few pieces of military tactical goggles and handed them to everyone.Han Jiang was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Makarov suspiciously for a while before he took the goggles and put them on.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were in front, and Han Jiang and Makarov were in the back. The four took off their coats, put them in bags, put on goggles, and jumped into the icy underground lake one after another.After they swam forward for more than ten meters, the pursuers also arrived on the shore.Seeing this, the man in black immediately raised his gun and shot wildly into the water.

The men in black on the shore saw that the shooting in the water was ineffective. Immediately, two men in black opened their backpacks, took out two sets of diving equipment and put them on. Holding P11 underwater pistols, they jumped into the underground lake.

The underground lake is crystal clear, and the visibility in the water is extremely high. After swimming 20 meters, Tang Feng was surprised to find that there are many huge white stalagmites growing on the bottom of the underground lake. The giant stalagmite is five or six meters high, and the top is close to the lake, which is very spectacular.It is like an underwater forest under the lake.

Tang Feng turned around and looked at Han Jiang and Makarov who followed closely behind.Needless to say, the water quality of the Hanjiang River is excellent.Although Makarov was over seventy years old and was injured, he still swam unhindered in this cold underground lake.He had to admire Makarov's skill.Looking at Liang Yuan beside her, her movements were unusually slow. Obviously, she still couldn't adapt to the icy lake water...not good!Liang Yuan's left leg twitched suddenly, and she struggled painfully in the water.Seeing this, Tang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support Liang Yuan.But Tang Feng's strength alone was obviously not enough, Han Jiang quickly swam up, and together with Tang Feng, dragged Liang Yuan out of the water.Immediately afterwards, Tang Feng and Han Jiang also got out of the water. "Liang Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Tang Feng asked with concern.

Liang Yuan's face was livid, panting heavily, Han Jiang answered for her: "I have cramp. The water temperature is too low."

"Then what should I do? There is no way to go ashore to rest now."

"What should I do? If you don't want to die, just stick to it!" Han Jiang gritted his teeth and said.Tang Feng turned his head and could already see the two "black shadows" following behind.Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan anxiously: "Liang Yuan, are you okay?"

Liang Yuan nodded vigorously and dived into the water again.Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang, didn't say anything, swam to Liang Yuan's side again, and swam forward another ten meters.But Liang Yuan swam too slowly, and Tang Feng became more and more anxious. Why didn't he swim to the edge of this small underground lake? If he couldn't get rid of the pursuers behind him, the consequences would be disastrous!

Tang Feng was anxious, so he speeded up unknowingly, swimming in the front alone, he wanted to see how far ahead he was before he could go ashore.But he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the water flow around him. He opened his eyes wide in the water, and found that there was darkness in front of him, and the green underground lake disappeared.How is this going?

Tang Feng surfaced, he couldn't see the front clearly, but he heard the sound of running water "Wow! Wow——", the water around him was no longer calm, and the current suddenly became turbulent.Tang Feng's brain was running rapidly, judging what was ahead.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a judgment passed through his mind like an arrow-there is a waterfall in front of him!The real waterfall, not the stone waterfall in the Stone Waterfall Hall.He began to understand that the bottom here is the same as the Stone Waterfall Hall, the water flows down from the hole, and a new stone waterfall rushes out, but the stone waterfall in the Stone Waterfall Hall has not flowed through it for many years, and here, the water flow is very fast...

A rush of water irreversibly pushed Tang Feng forward. Tang Feng was startled and swam back with all his might.He stopped Liang Yuan who was still struggling to swim forward, and gestured to Han Jiang and Makarov.The four of them surfaced, Tang Feng pointed to the front, and whispered: "Waterfall!" Several people understood, and panic was written on everyone's face.There is a waterfall in front, and there are pursuers behind. Falling from the waterfall will surely kill you, but the pursuers catch up... Now is the time to make a decision.

Anxious Tang Feng dived into the water again, and he saw dense stalagmites at the bottom of the lake.Suddenly, he discovered that not far away, at the bottom of the lake near the cave wall, there were two giant stalagmites—one was slightly larger, with a height of four or five meters; Around the giant stalagmites, there are other small stalagmites growing. These large and small white stalagmites form a group of stalagmite forests.Seeing this, Tang Feng had an idea in his mind.

He surfaced and signaled everyone to dive into the water, then pointed to the two giant stalagmites, and led everyone to swim towards the stalagmite forest.The crowd swam to the edge of the stalagmite forest and resurfaced.Han Jiang asked impatiently: "You must have an idea?"

Tang Feng hugged the biggest stalagmite, panting, and replied: "Yes! Have you seen these two giant stalagmites? When those two guys swim over later, we will hug these two stalagmites Diving into the water, with the cover of this stalagmite forest, we should be able to escape, if not, then we have to risk our lives."

Hearing Tang Feng's idea, Makarov smiled slyly, "I see, it kills two birds with one stone, saving our life and getting rid of those two guys."

"You Russian old man, how come you know so many Chinese idioms, but you are wrong, this time you are borrowing a knife to kill someone!" Tang Feng looked behind, and the two guys had already caught up...

Han Jiang checked the terrain and completely agreed with Tang Feng's idea. He finally said: "This is the most severe test for us. Everyone should hold this breath. After entering the water, you can't take another breath. I will count to three, one , two, three!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he and Makarov took a deep breath and dived into the water with the largest stalagmite in their arms.Tang Feng and Liang Yuan swam to the smaller stalagmite, and Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan, "Are you ready?"

Liang Yuan nodded, "Ready." The two followed Han Jiang's example, took a deep breath, dived into the water, and hugged the giant stalagmite face to face.

Tang Feng still tried his best to open his eyes and observe the movement in the lake.Time passed by second by second, Tang Feng felt that every second was so long and so important to them at this moment, he didn't know how long he could last.He looked at Han Jiang and Makarov, and then at Liang Yuan, "Liang Yuan, you must hold on!" Tang Feng prayed secretly in his heart, he was afraid that Liang Yuan would not be able to hold on and would expose everyone.

But fortunately, everything is still normal.But as time passed, he felt that his body temperature was dropping sharply, his ears and eyes obviously began to feel uncomfortable, and his lungs were under unbearable pressure.Tang Feng persisted, if it was so difficult even for himself, what would happen to Liang Yuan?Tang Feng didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and he didn't dare to look at Liang Yuan anymore...

Finally, those two guys also appeared in the water, and Tang Feng clearly saw what they were holding in their hands - it was a P117.62mm underwater pistol made in Germany.Tang Feng was amazed, and a little fortunate, that the men in black were so advanced and comprehensive in equipment, even equipped with underwater pistols; fortunately, they did not go back to fight with these two guys. Recklessly.

Those two guys obviously didn't notice them, they never thought that there could be a few big living people hidden in this stalagmite forest, they only knew how to chase forward, and they swam through this stalagmite forest in no time...

Tang Feng watched all this, and the most critical moment has come. Just hold on for more than ten seconds, and when those two guys fall down the waterfall, they can surface and take a big breath of fresh air.Suddenly, Tang Feng found that the guy swimming in front was struggling desperately in the water.It seemed that he had discovered the waterfall below, but it was too late.The guy didn't make any sound, and was engulfed by the rushing water and fell down the waterfall.There were no screams, no calls for help, and even the sound of the guy falling was not heard. He just disappeared without a sound—could the waterfall in front of him be bottomless?

Looking at the guy swimming behind, he found that his companion had fallen, knowing that something was wrong, and desperately wanted to swim back, but the more he wanted to swim back, the more the rushing water pushed him down.However, none of these men in black were weak, and this guy was also amazingly strong. After a lot of struggle, he managed to get out of the rushing water and swim back!
Tang Feng secretly thought that it was not good. He originally thought that these two guys would fall, so they could come up to the surface and have a good breath, but he didn't expect this guy to swim back.Tang Feng felt that his body had reached its limit, and he knew that he couldn't last much longer.

Just when Tang Feng was in extreme pain, a splash of water rose up around him, and Liang Yuan got out of the water. She couldn't hold on any longer... Seeing this, Tang Feng also came out of the water. He was breathing heavily. In the air, look at Liang Yuan's nose bleeding, unconscious.

Now that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan have been exposed, there is no need for Makarov and Han Jiang to persist anymore. The two surfaced one after the other.The noise they made made the guy in the water quickly discover them, but before he could react, Han Jiang decisively pulled out a military three-edged dagger captured in the Qiang village, and rushed towards him.That guy had consumed too much physical strength just now, and he didn't expect that Han Jiang would take the initiative to attack. He was in a hurry, but he failed to fire a shot, and watched Han Jiang rushing forward.

Tang Feng anxiously called Liang Yuan's name, but Liang Yuan didn't respond.He was also worried about Han Jiang who was fighting in the water. He saw Han Jiang grabbing the man with his left arm from behind and pressing the man into the water.Immediately afterwards, Han Jiang swiped hard with the dagger in his right hand, cutting off the guy's oxygen tube.A burst of bubbles rolled up in the water, and the guy suddenly felt difficult to breathe, his eyes widened in horror, and he struggled desperately in the water, and the gun in his hand was already out of his hand.He tried his best to get out of the water, but Han Jiang refused to let him surface.Han Jiang exerted all his strength, and a violent force dragged him deeper into the water...

Tang Feng and Makarov watched this scene in surprise, but they couldn't see the underwater world clearly.Makarov drew his dagger and wanted to go up to help.But at this moment, the lake returned to calm, and the originally clear lake surface was glowing red.Blood!Human blood!The bloody smell quickly permeated the lake.Whose blood is this?Is it that guy's blood, or did something happen to Han Jiang?

Just when Tang Feng and Makarov hesitated, a black object surfaced, and the black object floated forward with the current.Ahead, the water flow became turbulent, and the black thing quickly disappeared on the turbulent water.Tang Feng and Makarov knew that that guy was killed by Han Jiang.But Han Jiang didn't come out of the water for a long time, and the hearts of the two couldn't help sinking again!
Finally, in the bloody water, Han Jiang surfaced and slowly swam towards them, Tang Feng and Makarov felt relieved.When Han Jiangyou came back, he found that Liang Yuan was still unconscious. No matter how Tang Feng called and pinched him, Liang Yuan didn't respond.Han Jiang looked at it, and said to Tang Feng: "Don't pinch, it's useless, hurry up and do artificial respiration."

"What? You want me to give Liang Yuan artificial respiration?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang back.

"Nonsense, it's not you, let me do it! One of your tasks is to protect Liang Yuan."

"Didn't you say artificial respiration?"

"Come on, don't get cheap and act like a good boy, hurry up!"

Makarov came over and patted his shoulder: "Young man, don't be shy!" After speaking, Makarov and Han Jiang swam away to find another way out.Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan in his arms, his face pale.In this grotesque cave, Tang Feng had no time to look at him at this time, he took a deep breath, and slowly approached Liang Yuan's lips.Liang Yuan's lips were so cold, as if there was no trace of warmth, Tang Feng's heart tightened, he had never been so worried about Liang Yuan like now.He hugged Liang Yuan even tighter, trying to warm her with his body... Liang Yuan finally woke up slowly, and found herself in Tang Feng's arms, receiving Tang Feng's "artificial respiration", with a pale face Unconsciously, there was a blush.Tang Feng saw Liang Yuan wake up, and just wanted to let go, but Liang Yuan hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.In this way, the two have been leaning against the rock wall, never separated for a long time, as if in this deep underground, there are only the two of them...

"It's okay, it's okay, this is not a place for intimacy. I was coy just now, but now I can't bear to separate!" At some point, Han Jiang and Makarov returned to them.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan reluctantly parted, and Han Jiang said to them: "Just now, while you were making out, Lao Ma and I went to explore the road, only to find out that it is not far from this stalagmite forest. In the place, there is a two-meter-square opening on the wall of the underwater cave. I swam in and took a look, and there was a very narrow white passage.”

"You mean to let us swim out of the passage?" Tang Feng asked.

Han Jiang nodded, "There is no other way."

"But how long is this passage? Where does it lead? We don't know, and, look at Liang Yuan, she..." Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan with pity.

"Tang Feng, I gave someone an 'artificial respiration', and that's all I care about Liang Yuan."

"Protect Liang Yuan, this is the task you gave me! You said so."

"Don't be poor with me!" Han Jiang turned and asked Liang Yuan, "I roughly estimated that the passage may be more than 20 meters long. I don't know where it is. ?"

With the support of the power of love, Liang Yuan's spirit was much better than before. She nodded firmly at Han Jiang and replied, "I can still hold on!"

"Okay! The little girl is very energetic." After Han Jiang encouraged Liang Yuan, he jumped into the water first. Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan and dived into the water. Soon, they came to the narrow white passage.There are no giant stalagmites like those in the underground lake, only some rudiments of stalagmites that have just emerged, indicating that the formation here is relatively late, and such huge stalagmites have not yet been born.The white passage was shorter than expected, not more than 20 meters long. After swimming about 15 meters, everyone came to another underground lake.This underground lake is not big, the water is not deep, and there are no white stalagmites. It is just a small completely enclosed lake.After we swam for a few more minutes, we finally saw the land!
