Chapter 112 The Abyss at the Bottom of the Lake
Xu Xin's crossbow arrow did not kill the piranha, but it died under his own fish's mouth.
These piranhas were probably in this situation because they had just mutated and were very hungry. Silver King also ate a whole deer just after the mutation was completed, and he was still a little unsatisfied.
This made Xu Xin even more determined to kill them all. After the Silver King had a feast, he grew a whole circle the next day. These fish could not continue to grow bigger!
It was convenient for Xu Xin that these piranhas were so hungry to attack the same kind. He also felt that to kill a large mutated piranha, at least several crossbow bolts would be needed, although he picked them up in vain on the underground trap road. There are quite a few crossbow bolts, but you should save them if you can.
Another crossbow bolt was fired, and the same situation happened again. The other three fish immediately started to bite the injured and bleeding fish crazily.
Within ten seconds, only a fish skeleton was left of the second fish. Even the meat of the previous fish in its belly was eaten by the other three fish, leaving nothing at all.
"It's so easy." Xu Xin was happy. Although it was a pity that he couldn't obtain piranha materials, he didn't dare to enter this range. If he was eaten, he would be eaten.
After finishing off another piranha, Xu Xin fired a crossbow at each of the remaining two, letting the two injured fish eat each other. In the end, the two piranhas were eaten by each other until their naked bodies were exposed. Falling into the abyss.
At this point, the piranha in the middle of the lake has been completely eliminated.
Xu Xin felt relieved physically and mentally after resolving a thorn in his heart that had been stuck in the beast's mind since he woke up.
Next, he was going to take a look at the huge cave at the bottom of the lake.
He did not dare to swim directly downward, but swam back to the shallow water first. After all, the piranha's activity range is in the center of the lake, directly above the huge abyss hole. Looking directly down from the center of the lake, the bottomless black abyss is really scary. He is always worried that some giant beast will come directly. It swam up from the abyss with its mouth wide open and ate him in one bite.
When he came to the cave wall that suddenly became deeper, he slowly dived down.
Xu Xin has dived before. When he went to play on the southernmost island of the motherland, he once experienced diving. A professional diving instructor took him to a depth of about ten meters. Before diving, I also received about half an hour of basic training. In addition, I also checked some information, and I was well aware of the harm of water pressure to the human body.
The water pressure in deep water is very scary and can pose a threat to various organs of the body.
During the dive, Xu Xin began to judge the impact of water pressure on him. When he first experienced diving, his ears began to feel uncomfortable when he dived to a depth of three or four meters, and he needed to equalize the ear pressure. But this time, Xu Xin had to dive about seven or eight meters before she started to feel that way.
He used the method he had learned, pinching his nose and blowing it, and his ears felt better.
Xu Xin began to calculate in his heart. When he experienced diving before, he began to feel uncomfortable at a depth of three or four meters, but now, he did not start to feel this way until about seven or eight meters. In other words, the impact of water pressure on him was also weakened by this scale armor. The depth he can dive into has doubled.
Without diving equipment, ordinary people can dive to a depth of ten meters at most. Trained professional divers can reach a depth of more than fifteen meters, but that's it. Seventy-eight meters is almost the limit for most professional divers. The ultimate in diving without equipment.
Of course, the world record set by a top adventurer is much higher, but a complete layman like him cannot compare with a professional diver, let alone a world record.
He is just an ordinary person who has experienced diving. He knows that he has no diving experience. Without a suit, even if he can breathe in the water, the depth of more than ten meters is about the same. With a suit, He can try to explore to a depth of about twenty meters.
Twenty meters is not considered shallow, and the height of a seven-story building is only twenty meters.
No matter how deep the area is, he will not go. Deep water is a very dangerous area, and this huge hole is even more dangerous. Not to mention the monsters that may appear in the water, the water pressure alone may directly kill him. If he dives too deep, even if he can come up, the consequences will be extremely serious.
He cherishes his life and does not want to die.
However, the blue-level resources on the cave walls are probably about 20 meters deep, and he can try to pick them.
When he dived about fifteen meters, Xu Xin finally saw the blue-level resources. They were strips of water plants growing on the cave wall. Three dark green water plants were floating with the slowly rotating undercurrent in the cave. .
It seemed like... he had just eaten a blue-level waterweed! Unexpectedly, this kind of waterweed actually grows on the cave wall in twenty meters of water.
Slowly swimming downstream, Xu Xin finally came to the blue-level water plants.
That's right, it's the aquatic plant (blue), which can provide the ability to breathe underwater. The aquatic plant (blue) he bought from Qin Yunlong!
"This aquatic plant most likely only grows at this depth. Unexpectedly, the Qin Yunlong brothers can actually dive to a depth of twenty meters. They are worthy of being professional diving instructors." Xu Xin did not think that they could have the same purple level as him. suit, they should be able to dive solely by their own abilities.
...or they have some special underwater ability.
After picking the water plants on the cave wall and putting them in his backpack, Xu Xin began to rotate along the cave wall at this depth. There are some blue-level aquatic plants growing on the cave wall. He wants to pick them all. These are strategic resources.
Swimming along the cave wall, Xu Xin looked deeper into the cave. He always had a creepy feeling when he looked directly into the depths of this huge cave. It made him deeply understand the feeling that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.
He always felt that something was staring at him from the depths of the huge cave.
Could it be the giant anaconda, or something else? Maybe it was his illusion.
Because he had already dived twenty meters, Xu Xin was much closer to the things that were much larger than him and swimming back and forth in the depths of the huge cave, and he could already roughly see their appearance.
It was a kind of fish, three to four meters long, with a very sharp mouth, protruding eyes, but a very flat body, which looked a bit strange. The color of this kind of fish is similar to that of the surrounding cave walls. If they don't swim like they do now, but stick to the cave walls, Xu Xin may not be able to spot them.
Fortunately, the appearance of the fish was not very weird, and it did not look like a monster, which made Xu Xin slightly relieved.
He could see about four or five of these fish within his line of sight, all in waters below sixty meters. They were far away from him, so he didn't have to worry about them attacking him.
After walking around the cave wall, he found a total of eleven water plants within his depth range. Apart from aquatic plants, he found no other blue-level resources.
Although there is still some blue light in the deeper waters, Xu Xin will not continue diving. Those resources are basically at a depth of about thirty meters, which is not a depth he can dive into at all. If he really reaches that depth, if something happens, he may have to stay in this abyss forever.
However, at a depth of sixty meters, within the range of those strange fish, there were some stones on the cave wall that attracted his attention. The stones protruding from the cave walls emitted a green light, and several others emitted a blue light.
"Ore?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, trying to see the stones clearly.
The color of those stones is different from that of the cave wall. The overall color is green. They are scattered on the cave wall at a depth of 60 meters. There are really many of them.
"Green ore, what ore is green? Copper ore?" Xu Xin didn't know much about this aspect, so she was a little confused. Maybe it's a stone that didn't exist in the original world, just like the black gold Li Wenxi discovered.
The most important thing is that it is impossible for him to dive into such a deep depth at present, and there is no point in thinking about it. Even if there is copper mine that can make electrical appliances, he can't get it.
Xu Xin decided to dive slowly a little further to see how deep he would feel discomfort.
About four or five meters down, Xu Xin began to feel obvious discomfort, so he began to stop diving and slowly surfaced.
The depth of twenty-five or six meters? Not counting the influence of the scale armor, the depth he can dive is about twelve or thirteen meters, which is not yet at the limit of ordinary people, let alone a person who has been strengthened many times and can still breathe underwater. , if he undergoes special training, Xu Xin feels that he should be able to dive to about 40 meters.
It seems that I am going to ask the two brothers Qin Yunlong for their diving experience.
There were no other resources around, so Xu Xin also planned to go up. The effects of the water plants he ate were about to wear off, and he needed to get back to the water as soon as possible.
Xu Xin did not swim up quickly. If the water pressure changes too fast, it can range from decompression sickness to death due to lung explosion. Of course, Xu Xin's depth shouldn't be that serious, but he may still injure his eardrums. He doesn't want to become deaf.
Floating upward slowly, Xu Xin finally poked his head out of the water and returned to the shallow water area. When his feet touched the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the underwater world made him feel novel, he felt very bad in the huge cave. The strong water pressure made him dare not go deep or rise quickly. His movements were restricted, as if he was in a huge and deep cave. It's like being in a deep prison.
Fortunately, this trip was not without success. At least he gained eleven more aquatic plants, which greatly increased the time he could spend underwater. If the heavy rain season really causes floods, with this scale armor and these water plants, he will not have any problem even if he is sucked into the flood.
Xu Xin dug some lotus roots in the shallow water area.
Fish may mutate, but these mature lotus roots should not, right? The kitchen is ready. Let's go back and squeeze some oil from the beast meat to make fried lotus root and eat it.
Walking onto the ground from the lake, I looked back at this seemingly beautiful but dangerous lake. There were no longer those wandering piranhas in the center of the lake. The lake seemed to be back to the way it was when he first came to the lake, peaceful, peaceful and beautiful. (End of chapter)
