Chapter 232 Underground Dark River (06)

What the woodcutter is holding in his hand is a black iron chain, about the thickness of an adult's arm, black and shiny, without any rust. It stands to reason that this kind of body soaked in water should have been rusted already, but this one seems to be The one just put in the water is as bright as new, and the iron chain is fastened to the stone under the water and extends all the way into the waterfall.

"There is such a thing in this kind of place?" Stan was the closest to that side. He pulled the iron chain and pulled it hard, only to find that it was firmly fixed.

"This should be a..." Lin Feng thought for a while, "The tow rope for crossing the waterfall to prevent people from being washed away by the rapids of the waterfall. That's right, they came from the other side of the waterfall."

His meaning is not difficult to understand, and everyone understands it. They feel strange, why would someone come to this place through the waterfall in this way?What is the opposite place?There must be a last resort reason to venture across the waterfall, which is impossible to judge based on what they know now.

"I don't believe that such a rapid waterfall can be crossed with just an iron chain?" Zhang Shoucheng shook his head, skeptical, "Even if he is not killed by the current, he will be rushed to somewhere?"

"Can you tell what other uses this iron chain has?" Lin Feng grabbed the iron chain and pulled it hard twice before going down

"Wait first." Li Siming stopped him, "I'm not in a hurry for a moment. We can think of other ways to find it. If it doesn't work, take risks. This kind of torrent is indeed not something that people can resist."

For a while, the opinions of the people could not be completely unified, and they argued with each other. At this moment, the woodcutter kept silent and suddenly pointed at them and pointed at the waterfall: "Look, the waterfall has become smaller."

It was only then that everyone noticed that maybe it was their illusion, the water flow of the waterfall actually decreased, and the sound of rumbling water was not as loud as before, and the water flow slowly decreased to less than half of the original level. , the waterfall seems to be thinner and more transparent than before.

"My darling, God takes care of us? Is this eye-opening?" Stan opened his mouth wide.

"Strange." Si Xuanyi was also stunned.

Although it seems that the waterfall is much smaller, it should be because the water volume has decreased, but the area of ​​the waterfall has not changed much, and it still seals the entire cave where they are, but the water flow has slowed down, and it is not as violent as before.

"This river belt is panting? Why is it so slow?" Guo Zhongxiao was also confused.

"Go over first." Lin Feng plunged into the water without waiting for the others to react. Li Siming had no time to stop him, so he could only watch helplessly as he disappeared in the water.

"Aren't you dreaming? The water flow has indeed decreased." Zhang Shoucheng tried to reach out and fall down the waterfall. Although the force of the water flow was still strong, the flow had indeed decreased a lot, and it was not as majestic as before.

Li Siming squatted down and looked at the iron chain that was still shaking under the water, which showed that Lin Feng was holding on to the chain and continued to move forward. He was a little worried about this guy's safety, and everyone else came over, hoping to find out about Lin Feng. Did they really go through it? If the opposite is also a small cave, it would be troublesome. In that case, they really entered a dead end.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the water flow of the waterfall suddenly increased again, and soon it returned to the way they came before, with a majestic flow of hundreds of millions of tons, and everyone began to worry about Lin Feng's situation again. It's just that right now they can't do anything but worry.

"Why does this waterfall look like pee? One by one?" Stan didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Do you still remember what we experienced when we were in the cave at the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom on Savage Mountain?" Si Xuanyi asked Li Siming, who seemed to have thought of something.

"Hmm..." Li Siming nodded, "I thought about it too, it should be like that."

"What kind of charades are you playing, can you just tell me what you have to say?" Guo Zhongxiao said a little unhappy.

Before Si Xuanyi and Li Simin opened their mouths, the woodcutter said first, "This should be an underground intermittent river. Due to the change of upstream pressure, the water flow fluctuates from time to time. That's why this waterfall is sometimes big and sometimes small."

Li Siming nodded, and this is what he wanted to talk about, which was exactly the same as their previous experience in the wild.

When he said this, most people understood, but Guo Zhongxiao and Shi Dan didn't understand. They had never heard of this kind of thing, so it was difficult to understand what the woodcutter meant.

"This also explains why those people appeared here." Si Xuanyi squatted down and stared at the iron chain under the water, "They pulled the iron chain here when the waterfall was getting smaller."

"Then why didn't they choose this place as the starting point for digging the passage?" Zhao Chenggong thought this approach was stupid, wouldn't it be good to just find a place?Why not take the risk of coming from the waterfall.

"They must have their own reasons, but we don't know it yet." Li Siming watched the time and calculated the interval of the waterfall change. After repeated several times, they finally found the pattern. The waterfall will decrease every 10 minutes. It will increase again in less than 20 seconds, that is to say, they must pass through this waterfall to the opposite side within 20 seconds, otherwise they will be washed away by the torrent falling from the sky, and they don’t know where they will rush. Even if the light is good outside, it will not be too dangerous to be washed away, but once it is washed away in this kind of place, if there is no lighting equipment, it will only wait for death.

"We did it in batches. I'll go there first. If it's safe, I'll shoot this side." Si Xuanyi said while packing his things.

"Please, don't shoot indiscriminately. This place is not very big. Bullets flying around will hurt people." Zhang Shoucheng reminded him.

"All of you gather to one side, and I will shoot three bullets at this angle." Si Xuanyi pointed to the other side of the hole, "This place is relatively open, even if there is a ricochet, it will not hurt you."

"That's hard to say." Zhang Shoucheng muttered and didn't say anything more.

"I'll go first." Si Xuanyi greeted the woodcutter and Li Siming.

"Boy, be careful." The woodcutter reminded him rarely.

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi nodded, fixed the impulsive things on his body again, grabbed the iron chain and went down into the water, waiting for the water volume of the waterfall to decrease again.

"I don't know how Lin Feng is doing; the reduced water volume will make it easier for us to move around and for those monsters, so be careful." Li Siming knelt down to remind him.

"I know." Si Xuanyi patted a broad-bladed dagger in his waist, "This thing is more useful than a gun underwater, but if you really encounter that thing... let's not talk about it, just let fate!"

Li Siming knew what he meant. In fact, he didn't know what to do, but at this time he had to take a risk.

"Okay! See you later." Si Xuanyi, seeing that the amount of water had started to decrease, plunged into the water.

"Can you help me for a while?" Zhang Dachuan approached Li Siming very politely.

"Oh?" Li Siming looked at him in surprise.

"If you really want to swim over, my brother..." Zhang Dachuan was a little embarrassed, he seemed embarrassed to speak, "He is unconscious, I may..."

"I understand..." Li Siming patted Zhang Dachuan on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't worry, I will help."
