Hearing the sound of water flowing behind him, Fang Zheng suddenly turned around, but found nothing.
Fangzheng's body was tense, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance even a bit. He floated on the bottom of the water holding the iron cage with his ape arms, and continued to remain silent, observing the surrounding situation quietly.
One minute…
two minutes...
No exception was ever found.
Fangzheng's eyes sank, and without further delay, he immediately decided to leave the pool as soon as possible.
result! !
call!
Fangzheng had just swam out for a while, and he felt the sound of violent water rushing under his feet. He suddenly looked down at his feet, but there was a deeper black bottom under his feet, and he still didn't find anything.
Fangzheng hastened his movements, intending to leave this place as soon as possible.
But for the next dive, Fangzheng always had a sense of foreboding. Something was following him closely, making the hairs on his back stand on end, and he felt threatened.
It's just that every time he looks for it, he finds nothing.
The mystery of the underwater, the unknown danger, faintly forced a sense of urgency, which made Fang Zheng speed up his diving movements a little more.
Boom! !
There was movement behind the water. It was the sound of the iron cage being hit by something vigorously. Fangzheng turned his head and saw an iron cage behind him, shaking at a distance under the water, and the nearby water was turbulent.
But still nothing unusual was seen.
In this situation, it seems that there is something mysterious, swimming quickly under the water, and slammed into the underwater iron cage.
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
Fangzheng no longer paid attention to the movement behind him, and continued to speed up his diving movements, leaving this weird underwater first.
But as Fangzheng's diving movements accelerated, the underwater thing that had been following him began to move more and more frequently, and the water flow became more and more turbulent.
call! !
This time the noise of the water flow came from the water above the head.
Fangzheng looked up, and there was a huge black shadow that was very fast, flashing across the water above his head.
"Sure enough, something has been following me!"
Fangzheng's heart sank.
He looked at the surrounding underwater terrain, and silently calculated the distance from the stone steps to the starting point.
Now, he will have to swim underwater for about ten minutes before he can go back. Ten minutes is too long. I'm afraid that huge black shadow won't give him so much time...
Fangzheng swam out for another four or five minutes, and the huge black shadow became more and more impatient, getting closer and closer to Fangzheng, and the number of times Fangzheng caught the huge black shadow began to increase.
call! !
There is a turbulent current under the feet, from bottom to top, it rushes towards Fangzheng like a shark pouncing on its food. Fangzheng sensed something different, swiped his hands under the water, rolled sideways under the water, successfully hid behind an iron cage, and then lowered his head Look at the water beneath your feet.
As a result, Fangzheng only had time to see a mass of jet-black woman's long hair that was seven or eight meters wide and disappeared from the spot very quickly.
The difference was only a few meters, if Fangzheng hadn't hid behind the iron cage in time, he would have been entangled by this black ball of woman's hair!
"Women's hair? A water ghost who died in vain?"
"I just don't know if this water ghost is a dead prisoner in this water prison, or was it raised artificially to prevent the prisoners in the water prison from escaping?"
It's strange to say that after escaping that attack, during the following journey until Fangzheng successfully landed, he was never attacked again, and he didn't feel the threat of being followed all the time.
Crash!
The water dripped down the ape's fur and fell to the ground. Fangzheng shook the ape's fur, and the water on his body was quickly wiped off, except that the thick ape's hair was sticking to his body, which was a little uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Fangzheng picked up a sharp stone, and began to draw a map of the water on the ground according to his memory.
Gradually, a detailed thumbnail gradually appeared in front of Fangzheng.
In addition to the abstract painting skills, the iron cage is drawn like a twisted matchbox, the stone pillars are drawn like chicken feet, and the cave is drawn as if it is round or not. The map is very detailed, and all important places are drawn.
It also hurt Fang Zheng's memory.
Why! !
Looking at the abstract paintings on the ground, Fangzheng was also depressed. No matter what he was practicing, he was fast at learning everything. He was the king in martial arts, but how could he become a black iron in painting
Putting aside this depression, Fangzheng studied the map again to see if there were any omissions. Just like that, about an hour has passed since the landing time.
Even if the underwater thing followed him all the way to the stone steps, it has been an hour now, and it must have left by now. Fangzheng plans to explore the pool again.
This time in a different direction.
Not long after, Fangzheng followed the stone steps and carefully descended into the pool again.
This time, he purposely probed near the pool for about ten minutes, acting cautiously. Seeing that the woman's hair hadn't appeared before, he quietly sneaked into the distance.
Before I dived far, I began to encounter a lot of debris floating objects along the way, broken stone pillars, smashed and deformed iron cages, etc. began to appear along the way.
It's exactly the same as the direction I explored for the first time.
wrong! !
After Fangzheng swam out for a few more minutes, he found a new change here.
Ancient buildings, submerged houses, single rooms, courtyard houses, and six-height courtyards floated still in the water, and merged with those stone pillars and iron cages to form a strange painting style, which appeared in front of Fang Zheng's eyes.
Seeing these static and floating courtyards under the water, and then thinking of the imperial examination rooms on the first floor of the dungeon, it seems that the weird fusion of the two places also happened underwater.
It's just houses floating in the water and not moving. This picture is a bit weird.
Fangzheng didn't swim to those buildings rashly for the time being, he started to check the iron cages along the way, these iron cages were just like the ones he found before, they were vacant and locked, and no prisoners were held.
At the same time, Fangzheng also discovered another situation.
As he dived farther, he saw more and more buildings standing still floating in the water along the way, more and more frequently, there were more and more buildings above his head, under his feet, and around him, and these buildings stretched all the way to The bottom of the dark abyss where the bottom cannot be seen is deeper.
Like a floating dead city submerged in water.
Seeing that there was nothing new in those iron cages, Fangzheng swayed his hands and feet lightly, floating in place in the water, pondered in place for a few seconds, swung his arms, stabbed sharply, and began to swim towards one of the ancient Liuheyuan. architecture.
When swimming to the top of the Liuheyuan, the breath sinks, a heavy weight falls, and the person lands steadily, offsetting the buoyancy from the water.
When Fangzheng was floating above the Liuheyuan, he had already checked clearly that there was no one outside the Liuheyuan, so he planned to investigate those houses.
Fangzheng had memorized the topographic map of Liuheyuan in his mind, and he began to search house by house...
