Chapter 136 Entering the Water
But Hu Ming has never been a person who talks nonsense. Since he said it, Hu Bayi and Fatty took them with them to be prepared.
However, Hu Bayi had almost forgotten about this matter before that, and he didn't expect that he would actually meet him again.
“Damn it, Mingzi, thank you that we trusted you and prepared a diving suit, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome!” Hu Bayi said to Hu Ming while changing clothes, he thought to himself No matter what Hu Ming asked him to prepare next time, he would just do it.
Soon, after several people put on wetsuits, they felt even more comfortable in the water.
However, Hu Bayi soon discovered that the temperature of the groundwater was really scary. It was as cold as the water they had under the cave before, even colder than that.
Hu Bayi didn't swim for long when he felt like he was soaked in ice water and started to tremble a little.
Fat Man and Yang Shirley soon couldn't stand it either.
"Holy crap! Why is this water so cold!"
At this moment, Yang Shirley felt even colder and her movements became slower and slower; although Hu Bayi was also cold, but like this He could only endure the situation and pray silently to get ashore quickly. Hu Ming moved forward along the river. There were heavy traces of artificial excavation on both sides of the river.
Hu Ming thought secretly. It seemed that the underground river was not formed naturally but was introduced intentionally by King Xian. This was a big project.
On both sides of the river were small pits one after another. Hu Ming took a look and found that they were filled with white human bones.
At this time, Hu Bayi was closest to Hu Ming, and he quickly noticed it, looking at the bones on both sides with some vigilance.
Hu Bayi unconsciously thought of the white Gu worms they encountered under the cave, and a chill filled his heart.
At this moment, Hu Bayi said worriedly: "...Isn't it also a Gu!"
After hearing this, Hu Ming calmly shook his head and rejected Hu Bayi's idea, "Don't worry, this should not be the case. It should be some burial pits containing not only human bones but also some animal bones."
< br>After Hu Ming finished speaking, Hu Bayi glanced at the pit on the side and looked carefully. It was true that some of the bones inside were very big. They were not human at first glance.
This is the first time Hu Bayi has seen such a burial pit with such a layout! Of course, it’s not just him, even Hu Ming is like this.
Hu Ba breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no Gu insects and said, "That's good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man shouted.
"There is a boat! There is a boat! Look!"
The fat man pointed excitedly at a small wooden boat floating on the river not far ahead and shouted.
“I saw it! Can you please keep your voice down!”
“If another python is attracted to you later, I’ll see what you will do!”
Listening to Hu Bayi's words, Fatty couldn't care less.
He felt that he would freeze to death if he continued to swim. Now that he had a boat, he no longer had to soak in the ice water!
Soon, he swam forward seven or eight meters in one breath, Hu Bayi didn't even have time to stop him.
I saw the fat man immediately grabbing the edge of the boat and trying to get on.
But the dream soon came to nothing, because the wooden boat simply couldn't bear the fat man. When he grabbed it like this, the entire plank fell off and fell apart.
At this moment, the fat man looked at the soft boat plank in his hand and was a little startled, looking at everyone.
At this time, Hu Bayi smiled from behind and watched.
"Fat man, you are too happy too early!"
"Damn! What is this!" The fat man threw the boat plank separated from his hand into the water in anger. At this time, Hu Ming had also noticed that the boat had been left here for so long and soaked in the water, and it had already become rotten.
“Okay, Fatty, let’s go!”
"No! Akiko, how long do we have to stay in this cold water?", the fat man complained a little.
Now, they are all in the water, and it is not convenient to look at the human skin map. At this moment, Hu Ming also raised his head and looked at the front and said: "It's not far, just hold on for a while, fat man!"
Hu Bayi hadn't laughed for long when he felt as if he had stepped on something. He suddenly slipped and fell into the water.
"Holy shit! Old Hu is drowning!", Fatty was the quickest to realize that something was wrong with Old Hu. He saw him splashing in the water but never saw anyone else.
Hu Ming was closest to Hu Bayi. He turned around and swam a few meters back to pull him up, and then looked at Hu Bayi in front of him.
"Damn it, what's going on with you!"
"I remember that you have always been good at water, and the water is not deep. Why did you suddenly drown?"
Being Hu Bayi, who was fished out of the water, kept coughing and said. He waved his hand and said, "I don't know what happened. It just felt like I stepped on something. I slipped under my feet and drowned!"
The fat man seemed to understand something instantly and said immediately.
“It can’t be that...there are water ghosts in this river!”
Hu Ming frowned. He didn't remember any water ghosts here. He shined a searchlight into the water and saw a group of black things floating in the river where Lao Hu just drowned.
Soon, Hu Ming reached down and grabbed the waterweed wrapped around the thing. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a big red toad with a ball of waterweed wrapped around its body.
The toad inside had already died. It was probably the one that was unfortunately crushed by Hu Bayi just now.
“Oh, it’s a toad! It’s okay!”
“No need to make a fuss, fat man!”
Seeing this, Shirley Yang smiled and said.
Hu Bayi was startled, looking at Hu Ming's hand, confused.
“Toad?”
“But, just now I clearly felt that my feet were cramped, and I couldn’t exert any strength at all!”
“Yes, yes. A red-backed toad! It should be poisonous on the toad’s back, which can temporarily paralyze it!”
As soon as Fatty heard that Hu Bayi was fine, he immediately returned to his original appearance.
And Shirley Yang carefully observed Hu Bayi and found that she was really fine. She couldn't help but loosen a dollar. It seemed that it was a false alarm.
"Okay, what's the point of this ink stain? Just swim out quickly! If I soak for a while longer, even if I don't encounter a water ghost, I'm afraid I'm going to freeze to death in the water!"
Half an hour later, they finally landed. The fat man took off his diving suit as soon as he came up and put on his thickest clothes. Shirley Yang was also shivering from the cold.
Hu Bayi casually wiped his wet hair with his clothes, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a white figure in the lake.
