Chapter 103: Falling into the abyss

Liang Houzai's expression was very nervous at that time. When I saw cold sweat on his forehead, he reached out to pull me, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them grabbed my wrist, I smiled at Liang Houzai: "I'm fine, but unfortunately I let the prisoner run away."

As I spoke, they had pulled my entire upper body out of the water, but at this moment, the undercurrent under the river suddenly became extremely turbulent.

I felt a very strong force clamping my legs and pulling me to the bottom of the river.

Liang Houzai and Liangzi also felt this power. I saw Liangzi pulling me with one hand and reaching out to a small tree next to the river channel with the other hand. But the power under the river came too suddenly. Before Liangzi could spread his arm, he heard two muffled sounds of "puzzle, plop". He and Liang Houzai fell into the water almost at the same time.

At that time, Senior Brother Zhuang was next to Liangzi. He stretched out his hand to hold Liangzi, but Liangzi's destiny was too strong, Senior Brother Zhuang could not hold him back.

The undercurrent surging, and the three of us were swept to the bottom of the river at the same time. In the face of such a turbulent undercurrent, the three of us were unable to rush up to the river even if we had all our strength.

But as the undercurrent suddenly became more rapid, the water under the river unexpectedly became clearer than before. I could see a hole two meters away, which was pitch black inside. There were several rope hooks hanging near the hole, with very thick ropes attached to it.

You don’t have to think about it, this cave is the entrance to the Dragon King’s Tomb.

If my master doesn’t let me in, there must be a reason for me. But as far as the situation at that time, if I don’t go in, I will definitely be drowned in the river channel of Erlong Bay.

I quickly pulled Liang Houzai up, pulled Liangzi and swam towards the entrance of the cave.

The more I entered the entrance of the cave, the more rapid the undercurrent became. I originally wanted to grab a rope and slowly penetrate the entrance of the cave, but when I was still three or four steps away from the entrance of the cave, the suction force from the undercurrent made me unable to control my body. I was sucked into the cave in just a blink of an eye.

After that, my eyes were pitch black, and I sank in the water. When I entered the entrance of the cave, my left hand hit the wall of the cave. The severe pain made me loose my fingers. Liangzi's wrist slid out of my palm. Now my right hand is still holding Liang Houzai tightly.

I couldn't tell how long the sinking process lasted. I only knew that when I was about to be unable to hold my breath, the water flow around me suddenly disappeared, and then I felt like my whole body was losing weight. My hair and clothes all floated upwards. Slowly, my five internal organs seemed to be pushing to my chest, trying to squeeze out from my mouth.

My stomach was turbulent and my mind was dizzy. At first, I didn't react to what happened. It was not until I looked at my feet that I saw a faint light far away from me. With these lights, I saw huge stone stalactites sweeping quickly around me.

Only then did I realize that I was falling rapidly, and the faint lights at the bottom of the abyss were my end!

After realizing this, my first reaction was to scream: "Ah—"

After that, Liang Houzai's scream suddenly rang behind me.

Under the circumstances at that time, my mind was really blank and I couldn't control my screams.

A moment later, a splash of water splashed in my ears, and Liang Houzai and I fell into the water again.

A large mouthful of water poured into my mouth. The water was very astringent and salty. I don’t know what the ingredients of this water were. It felt a little sticky and had a great buoyancy. As soon as I felt that I was no longer sinking, I quickly swung my hands and feet and swam to the water.

After I got ashore, my heart kept trembling. To be honest, if there was not such a deep pool of water under the abyss, if I didn’t drill into the water vertically when I fell into the water, but slapped the water in a lying position... Thinking of this, a scene of flesh and blood flying appeared in my mind.

At this time, Liang Houzai also climbed up and lay beside me, with a look of panic on his face.

I looked at the dark hole, my mind was messy, and I couldn't come back to my senses after a long time.

This is the Dragon King’s Tomb? I just came in like this? I wasn’t dead? How should I get out?

These questions were intertwined in my mind at the same time. They appeared repeatedly and intertwined repeatedly. Each word was intertwined randomly. At that time, I only knew that my mind was messy, but I didn't know what I was thinking.

Until Liang Houzai slowly got up, he asked me timidly: "Brother Dao, what should we do now?"

After he asked this, I came back to my senses, but I didn't respond to his words. It was not that I didn't want to respond, but that my lips were trembling at that time and I couldn't say a word.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked around before I could see what it looked like.

The faint lights I saw before came from the pool in front of us. It was not that something was shining under the pool, but that the entire pool was filled with a faint blue light.

Liang Houzai and I were covered with this kind of water, so that we were now glowing with blue light.

Around the pool is a circle of tall stalactites. These stalactites are shining with the luster in the water, giving off a very greasy and sticky luster.

In addition, behind Liang Houzai and I, there is a very deep tunnel. Although it is pitch black inside, I can only see one hole. But when I stand on the shore, I can feel a cool breeze blowing out at the entrance of the cave, and I can also vaguely hear the very long roar of the wind. So I know that the tunnel is connected to this hole.

At this time, Liang Houzai asked me again: "Why didn't Liangzi come down? I remember he should have gone into the water with me before?"

I calmed down before saying to Liang Houzai: "It dispersed when I entered the cave. I don't know if he came in."

Just like when I met the sealed gate formation in the Taoist temple, I tried to maintain a calm tone when I spoke. However, that time I was worried that Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang would collapse nervously, so I deliberately pretended, and half of the calmness now should be real.

Over the years, the experience of missing life and death has made me, who is nearly fourteen years old, more calm in my mind than when I first entered the industry.

After saying this, I looked around again. Apart from the tunnel behind us, there seemed to be no other way to go.

But I still plan to wait.

Actually, I really hope that Liang Zi will come down too. He has rich combat experience and has a gun in his hand. If he can be with us, I will feel more at ease.

At the same time, I was also worried that if Liangzi was not sucked into the hole by the undercurrent, once he was trapped at the bottom of Erlong Bay, it would be a disaster now.

A moment later, Liangzi's steel helmet fell into the pool, stirring up a large handful of water. But after a long time, Liangzi still did not appear.

It seems that Liangzi really couldn't get into the cave, and I don't know how he is now. I hope he is not trapped at the bottom of Erlong Bay, but is brought to the shore by Senior Brother Zhuang and the others.

I scanned the stalactite forest around the pool for a long time, but I couldn't see the traces of the ropes. The ropes hanging at the entrance of the Dragon King's tomb did not seem to have enough length to reach such a deep place.

After that, I looked carefully at the place where Liang Houzai and I were standing. The water dripping from Liang Houzai and I emitted a blue light on the ground, but apart from that, there were no other water stains on the shore. Except for the two of us, no one had ever been here, neither the mercenaries nor my master had ever been here.

I guess that besides the tunnel behind us, there should be other entrances on the rock wall above us. But the vertical rock wall is like a mirror, with the light from the pool on it, and it looks really smooth, without even a protruding stone. Liang Houzai and I don’t have any tools in our hands. We can’t climb up such a rock wall no matter what.

Liang Houzai scanned the surrounding environment like me. I saw his face getting worse and worse. After a while, he asked me nervously: "Brother Dao, what should we do now?"

When he was talking, he deliberately did not look at the tunnel not far away, but I could see that although his gaze was facing me, Yu Guang kept paying attention to the tunnel.

Liang Houzai didn't want to enter that tunnel. While he wanted me to make an idea, he must not want me to take him into the tunnel. But for now, the tunnel is indeed our only way.

To be honest, the wind blowing from that tunnel always gives me a very bad feeling. Although I am far away, I can still smell the slight stinking of corpses in the gust of wind. I don’t want to enter the tunnel, there must be evil corpses inside.

I breathed a lot and said to Liang Houzai: "Now we have to go to find my master first. I think since the master can come in, there must be a way to go out. In addition to this path, we can also wait for rescue here. However, the yin energy here is too heavy, so we two are the Taoist practices. If we do not replenish the yang energy in time, we can last for a few hours at most. When the yin energy consumes the yang energy in our body, either I will go crazy or you will go crazy. Or I will kill you, you will definitely kill me. So I think we should still go to find my master now."

I deliberately spoke longer and made my tone calmer. I hope Liang Houzai could think I was very calm so that he could calm down too.

Liang Houzai was silent for a while before nodding vigorously: "Yes, we should go to find Grandpa Chai first. But where can we find him?"

I didn't say anything, and pointed to the tunnel behind Liang Houzai, but Liang Houzai didn't look back, and his expression suddenly became nervous again.

In fact, Liang Houzai and I have experienced a lot of things together in the past two years. He has always been relatively calm, and even more calmer than me in many cases, but now he shows a nervous mood that is not very consistent with his personality.
