Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 339 Deep Water Diving
I looked at it and my eyes suddenly froze: After the footprints circled around in this area, they disappeared by the lake...

I grumbled, "He... went down."

"Go down, where are you going?" Liu Hanqiu didn't seem to understand what I said, and asked repeatedly.

I nodded and said that Yazai entered the lake.

Liu Hanqiu's face darkened in an instant: "Are you kidding me? Such a large lake, what is he going down there for? Is it possible that the Nine-story Pagoda can still be underwater?"

"I want to know, just go down and have a look." I took off the general's coat and fastened the waterproof backpack. Although my gun and dagger were confiscated, there are still many good things in the bag.

Liu Hanqiu grabbed me: "Don't try to deceive me, you are planning to take the opportunity to escape, right?"

"You don't have confidence in your poison?" I sneered, shook off his hand, and jumped down along the place where the boy disappeared.

I don't care about the nine-storey pagoda, I just want to confirm the safety of Yazai. Although he may have come ashore from other places, normally he is more likely to be underwater.

Because of the size of the lake, if he went ashore elsewhere, he might run into us just in time. After all, we are not much slower than him in terms of speed.

As soon as I got out of the water, I shivered. The icy lake water penetrated through every pore of my body, as if it was going to freeze me into an ice lump.

I stood by the water to adjust to the temperature, rubbed my hands and feet to warm them up, and then plunged down.

As I went further downstream, the water gradually became warmer. I slowly opened my eyes in the water, and my eyes were completely clear.

But I didn't see anything. This lake is no different from other places, except that it is so deep that you can't see the bottom.

I stared at the bottom of the water without knowing how deep it was, and then went through the picture of the Buddha statue in my mind, and I felt faintly that this must be the location of the nine-story pagoda!

Holding my breath to the bottom, I poked my head out and saw Liu Hanqiu and the others by the lake like ants on a hot pot.I wiped my face and put it on the shore, took out a simple scuba suit from the backpack behind me, and then said: "This lake is abnormally deep. According to my judgment, the nine-story pagoda may really be buried under it. Do you want to follow?"

Liu Hanqiu obviously hesitated, the water is no better than the land, and their restraint on me will be completely useless.

"Don't moan, I don't have time to wait for you." I said anxiously.

Liu Hanqiu glanced at Chang Kong, who nodded at me: "Yes, but if you dare to play tricks in the water, don't blame us for being rude."

I just sneered, put the oxygen supply tube on the scuba into my mouth, and plunged into the water again without saying a word.

I wear goggles on the scuba, and I can see more clearly after going into the water this time. Only then did I realize that the lake is not deep everywhere.

I swam forward for about ten meters and found that the water was much shallower.I swam around the shallow place and found that the deepest place was only within a radius of ten meters.

My eyes lit up. If it is said that the lakes are all the same depth, I would be a little skeptical, but in such a place, I would not believe that there are no tricksters!
I came back after swimming around, and suddenly there was a ripple in the water. Looking back, I realized that Liu Hanqiu and the others had also entered the water with their scuba lungs.

I sneered, I am not afraid that they will not come, they just want me to be a pioneer.

Anyway, I don't expect them to help, it's a good thing to follow behind!

I made an understandable gesture to them and swam deeper.

Because I didn't know the way ahead, I deliberately slowed down and looked around vigilantly while swimming. If the nine-story pagoda was at the bottom of the water, it would definitely not be as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Liu Hanqiu and the others didn't follow far or close. If they found out, they could follow up immediately, and if they were in danger, they could immediately retreat. I was swimming ahead like a bright target.

Such a rat who is afraid of death still wants to take over 701, it really makes people laugh!
The more I got in touch with Liu Hanqiu, the more I realized that what happened more than ten years ago was due to his good luck. If it weren't for his internal support, he would never have succeeded with the Bai team's ability.

Fortunately, the white team has returned. We will settle this account sooner or later.

I went through these things in my mind, and felt more and more that I seemed to be possessed these days. I was less vigilant towards Liu Hanqiu, but I doubted Lao Yan.

When did it all start?
At the bottom of this white water, when the road ahead was still uncertain, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered a scene: Ever since the 'corpse' in the mass grave appeared, I became more and more suspicious of Lao Yan. Heavy.

By the way, what about the 'corpse'?

It can be said that we chased the 'corpse' all the way here, and even Kumbu's Shadow Gu tracked it all the way by smelling it, but all of us seemed to have forgotten it...

I felt chills in my heart, and always felt that all our impermanence started from that time.

But we actually forgot about this 'corpse' in the following actions. If it wasn't for the cold touch of the lake at this moment, my mind was jolted, I am afraid that the impression of this 'corpse' in my mind would be erased.

This is absolutely abnormal, no one of us can make such a low-level mistake, there must be something wrong!
I took a deep breath, this matter was like a big rock weighing on my heart, suppressing all the excitement I had just had because I was about to find the Nine-story Pagoda.

At this moment, I felt someone touch my shoulder, I kicked my legs reflexively, and rolled to the side, but it was the butcher who patted my shoulder.

Because one hand was hurt, he gestured awkwardly and asked me what happened?
I shook my head, suppressed the turbulent waves in my heart, and then regrouped and dived deeper.

The bottom of the water is quiet and there is no sound, which makes me feel a little queasy. There must be a lot of fish and shrimp in this kind of lake in the forest. When I just entered the water, there was a fish passing by my feet.But since entering this water area, all living things have disappeared, not even a single aquatic plant...

I closed my eyes and looked back at the Buddha statue in my mind. If the Buddha statue corresponds to this lake, then the ten-meter square bottomless pool is the eyes of the Buddha statue.

These eyes are compassionate and have a trace of chill, which is in line with the teachings of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva - I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!

The silence at the bottom of the water seems to have stopped time. I don't know how long I have been diving, but I can only estimate that it is about seven or eight meters, because the pressure felt in the chest is getting bigger and bigger.

I glanced at the oxygen pump of the scuba, and my heart skipped a beat: the oxygen pump has gone almost halfway, and I have to go back after diving three meters at most, otherwise I may not be able to go back!

Liu Hanqiu and the others obviously noticed this too, Changkong rushed over to hold me back, and made several gestures at me, urging me to return to the voyage.

I also know that this is not a joke. Once the oxygen pump is gone, there is no way for us to swim up such deep water by ourselves.So he quickly signed in sign language and told him to stick to the last three meters. Once the three meters were reached, if he didn't find it again, he would return immediately.

Changkong obviously also went through precise calculations, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement with my idea.

I looked down through the goggles, but the lower I went, the darker the place I could see, let alone three meters, I couldn't see anything even one meter away.

Fight!

I cheered myself up and rushed down in one go.

boom!
With this rush, I rushed out more than one meter, and when I was about to make persistent efforts, I bumped my head against a stone. The muffled sound came from the bottom of the water, only bringing out waves of ripples.

I rubbed my head, and was about to go around this stone, when I suddenly noticed something was wrong—is there such a sharp stone that looks like it has been carved by hand?
I stared carefully at this stone covered with algae, and the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.

It has been touched by people, and this is not a stone, it is clearly the spire!
