After seeing the cave in front of them, Allen and the others showed hesitation on their faces. Even John, who had a bad temper, slowed down and turned his head to look at the others.
Allen and others lack social experience, but it does not mean that they are stupid. The caves on the edge of such lakes are usually the entrances to underground rivers, and the suspicious behavior of the fjord sea monster makes it even more convincing.
Although the above ground part of this kind of cave is as high as three meters, in fact, if you wade a little farther, the underwater part can no longer stand, and the water depth in the cave is even bottomless. If they continue to chase in, it will be tantamount to fighting the fjord sea monster in the water.
No matter how much Alan and the others relied on Qin Lun and Donald, they would not naively think that they could still cover everyone under such circumstances.
"You stay here, Donald and I will go and have a look!" Qin Lun greeted them, and strode after Fatty.
Hearing Qin Lun's words, while Alan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a look of guilt appeared on their faces.
"Be careful!" Natasha ran a few steps and shouted at Qin Lun.
Sure enough, untrained human beings will reveal their selfish instincts in the face of danger and the choice of companions. All the ethical principles formed in human society are only based on the survival and reproduction needs of human beings themselves.
Even if it is called intelligent and civilized, it still cannot get rid of its selfish nature. Human nature is evil, and it should be so! A sneer flashed in Qin Lun's eyes.
Allen and others may think that they are a burden, and it will not be of much use to chase after them. However, this is just an excuse, no matter how small the power is, it will not be useless. Sometimes the turning point of the battle lies in the addition of this little power.
They finally went down the steps given by Qin Lun and did not chase after them. It was nothing but the result of weighing interests. I used various reasons to convince myself that in the balance of my own life and the lives of my companions, one side overwhelmed the other, that's all.
Qin Lun did not despise them for this, in his eyes, this is the nature of human beings. And someone like him or Hill is abnormal. Their paranoia and values are a twisted pathology and the main reason why the world sees them as inhuman.
The analysis of Ai Lun and others only stayed in Qin Lun's mind for a moment, and then he focused on the fat man in front, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Several fjord sea monsters quickly approached the cave, and when the water was knee-deep, they immediately fell into the water, and their speed increased several times. Most of their bodies are hidden in the water, and the spikes on their backs and long tails with scales draw S-shaped ripples on the water.
Fanny and Statham were carried on their backs by two sea monsters, with their snouts sticking out of the water, and their slightly heaving chests from time to time showed that they were still alive. The sea monsters seem to have consciously kept their lives alive, if not to store fresh ingredients, then the intention is quite sinister.
"Bait?" Qin Lun thought with a flash of interest.
Donald chased very quickly. With his obese body, he was not pulled down by the sea monster in swimming style, and even got a little closer. However, when he and Qin Lun chased to the vicinity of the cave, they were surprised to find that there were several small sampans at the entrance of the cave.
These small sampans are very old, not like props placed here by travel agencies for cave sightseeing, but rather like things that were abandoned here before. They were tied to the reef at the entrance of the cave. Although there was a lot of water in the boat, it seemed that the bottom of the boat was not leaking, and it was still floating tenaciously on the water.
"Chris, hurry up!" Donald didn't jump directly into the sampan full of lake water, but pulled the side of the sampan and shook it vigorously.
At this time, the fat man showed a huge strength that was different from ordinary people, causing the sampan to stand almost horizontally, and most of the lake water inside was poured out, and the remaining little bit had no effect.
However, Qin Lun behind him showed an extremely hesitant attitude at this time, as if he didn't really want to follow Donald into the cave. After the fat man saw it, his eyes dimmed, he stopped waiting for him, and chased after him alone with the sampan, and disappeared into the dark cave in a short while.
It wasn't until Donald's figure disappeared that Qin Lun sped up his movements, paddling a sampan to chase after him like a fat man.
This cave close to the Cadillac mountain wall is very deep, there is no crack in the roof, and the sunlight cannot be projected. After entering the cave for a hundred meters, the light becomes as dim as night.
There is no sunlight here, and the temperature is several degrees lower than the outside world. Because of the temperature difference, there is a layer of mist in the cave, which makes people feel cold.
Qin Lun's left eye slowly showed a yin-yang fish pattern, and with the investigation of the staring halo, he can basically control the situation within 50 meters around him. Of course, compared to other mission worlds, these two apostle abilities have obviously been weakened to varying degrees.
Donald's sampan had gone to nowhere, and the surroundings were completely silent, only the sound of water dripping from the cave roof and the sound of paddles being paddled. After traveling another two to three hundred meters, Qin Lun finally made a new discovery.
The cave was at the end, and the front was firmly blocked by a mountain wall. Neither the sea monster from the fjord that came in nor Donald disappeared, leaving only the fat man's sampan rippling on the edge of the cave wall.
Qin Lun's eyes flickered. The cave here is already quite low, with the top less than two meters high. Using the pupil technique to see through the water, it can be found that the water depth has exceeded 50 meters, and the cave wall blocking the way ahead is gone at a depth of more than 30 meters underwater, revealing the entrance of the underground river.
The Fiordland Sea Monster and Donald should have entered the dark river. Qin Lun could vaguely guess that the length of the dark river at the drowning part would not be too long, or the Fiordland Sea Monster had a way to guarantee the survival of the hostages, otherwise the two hostages would have to die now undoubtedly.
Although this guess is very unreasonable, the fjord sea monster lures the two of them here, so they can no longer worry about the survival rate of the bait, but from the perspective of the plot, it is possible.
You must know that although the plot line of the Wilson team has been changed due to Qin Lun's participation, and the candidates for death are no longer the same, the plot line in the later stage has not been greatly damaged. Fanny and Statham, the two original plot characters It shouldn't be that easy to die.
"According to this logical reasoning, Donald may have fought against the fjord sea monster..." Qin covered his face with one hand, and a sneer appeared on Lun's mouth, "Excluding the very small probability that the fat man is a high-level powerhouse, he can only be a reincarnation, and Not an apostle!"
Thinking of this, Qin Lun suddenly felt that he had no interest in the next development, and sighed heavily: "Really, the fat man is too anxious, should you step in? This is too obvious, no sense of art. No!"
"Forget it, it's better to meet the return conditions first. If this place is too boring, you can always return to the Broken Starry Sky immediately." Qin Lun shrugged and jumped into the lake.
After arriving here, Qin Lun basically solved the riddle on Donald, and felt that the correct rate should be very high.
This fat man is not an apostle, but a courageous reincarnation elite. He did not choose the identity of a federal agent or reporter like others, and participated in the plot sideways. Instead, he boarded the plane that had exploded and directly came into contact with the main plot characters such as Allen.
Fatty's schemes have been very successful as far as Acadia National Park. However, the development of things is often independent of human will. After meeting Qin Lun, he found that his plan was greatly hindered.
The first is the Wilson team of the second plot line. On the night of the fjord sea monster attack, the secondary characters of the two teams, Susan and John, did not meet, resulting in the death of the main plot characters of the other team, Wilson and Luke. There was also the unknown factor of Qin Lun.
The disabled Wilson's team will definitely affect the completion of the reincarnated person's mission, and Qin Lun inadvertently destroyed Fatty's original plan. However, at this time Fatty is still not sure whether Qin Lun is a reincarnation of the hostile plot line.
When Qin Lun killed a fjord sea monster before and showed his intention not to pursue the fjord sea monster again, Fatty probably identified him as an enemy at that time. After all, in the current situation where the losses of the two plot teams are huge, if Fanny and Statham are allowed to die, their mission may face collapse.
Once it was established that Donald was on the reincarnated side, the rest of the puzzle was solved.
Fatty shouldn't be alone, he must have several companions secretly helping him. At this point in the plot line, following the direction of the fjord sea monster's escape, it is not difficult for Fatty's companions to find this cave in advance, and then lie in ambush in the cave in front of the drowning part of the dark river.
This can explain why Donald chased the fjord sea monster into the hole without hesitation. With the help of other reincarnations, he didn't have to be afraid of a few fjord sea monsters. His companions hadn't been on that plane, so they wouldn't be affected Grim Reaper's attention.
The only weakness of Donald was that he acted too anxiously, which easily aroused Qin Lun's suspicion. However, he has no choice but to avoid the sight of Ai Lun and others, and have a "infighting among reincarnators" with Qin Lun, there is probably no more suitable venue than here.
Of course, in addition to this, there is an extremely small possibility that Donald is a high-level reincarnator, and he is confident that he can resist the law of cause and effect in the game of death and rescue Fanny and Statham.
This probability is obviously close to none, even if he wants to dig deeper into the world plot line, there is no need to take such a risk.
At this time, just as the dark river in the cave bypassed the nearly 100-meter drowning section, a large cave reappeared here, and a half-moon-shaped open space appeared on the right side of the dark river.
Four people were sitting or standing in this clearing, and one of them was a fat man sitting on a rock with a big horse and a golden knife, which was Donald!
It's just that at this time the fat man's face is full of ferociousness, his eyes are cold, he doesn't have the stupid appearance before.
He stepped on a huge headless corpse with his right foot, which was the largest of the remaining fjord sea monsters. And the other three small sea monsters were obviously all turned into corpses, the half-moon-shaped beach was covered with blood, and there were sea monster wreckage everywhere.
