withered prosperity

The sound of the water was loud.

How can being trapped by the big water in a not-so-large secret room be the same as frolicking in the shallow water of the beach?

The waiting time was incomparably torturous, especially for Yan Hai who was afraid of water.

He clung to Yun Ji like a driftwood, buried his head on Yun Ji's neck, and trembled uncontrollably.

After Yun Ji noticed it, she hugged him even tighter.

"Don't be afraid." Yun Ji coaxed him softly in his ear, which made him feel a little comforted, but it couldn't completely eliminate the fear in his heart.

Yue Liuyi heard the sound and glanced over there, but happened to see Yun Ji's drooping face with a smug smile.

There was something really wrong with this person... She shook her head, shaking off the water splashed on her face.

Now is not the time to think about these things, the water has already filled most of the space.

"I'll go down and have a look first." She was still not at ease, and after she finished speaking, she plunged down.

When Yue Liuyi surfaced again, they were only three to four feet away from the top.

"How about it?"

Yue Liuyi wiped off the water on his face with his hands, and let out a long breath.

"There is indeed a passage underground, enough for us to pass through." She panted slightly: "But the undercurrent is too fast now, and I can't get closer to see it."

"Take care of him later." Yun Ji pushed Mu Huaijin who was in his hand over, lowered his head and said to Yan Hai who was in his arms, "Yan Hai, you don't have to think about anything, just grab me." .”

In the crimson deep water, only the pillar glowed faintly with green light.

These two colors are blended together, making everything in front of you look like a treacherous phantom that can only be seen in a dream.

Yan Hai was embraced by Yun Ji, and he dived into the deeper water along the pillar.

Except for a little light around him, everything is immersed in boundless darkness.

It's like many years ago, in that cave by the sea, he fell into the icy sea water after fighting with the strange beasts in the sea... just like this.

Falling down in the boundless darkness...

Yun Ji noticed what was wrong with Yan Hai immediately.

He stiffened in his arms, and a lot of air bubbles suddenly appeared from his mouth and nose, which should have been holding his breath.

This is just the beginning of the dive. If you consume your breath like this, you won't be able to hold on for too long.

Although Yan Hai knew that he had to hold his breath, his heart beat violently as soon as he entered the water, and he couldn't hold his breath.

He was about to reach out to hold his mouth and nose, but Yun Ji grabbed him first.

Yun Ji lowered his head and kissed him, and took a breath to come over.

The two looked at each other, and Yunji's red eyes were full of beauty in the crimson and emerald green water.

He nodded to Yun Ji, indicating that he was much better.

Yun Ji squeezed the back of his neck, turned to look at Yue Liuyi and Mu Huaijin behind him.

They had already reached the bottom of the pillar at this time, and the originally closed space had turned into a dark and deep passage, and the green glowing pillar stretched all the way down, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.

Yun Ji was the first to get in without hesitation.

This passage is not too narrow, but it is too long, as if it has no end.

Yue Liuyi didn't know how far she had swam, she only knew that Mu Huaijin couldn't hold on just now, and spat out a big mouthful of air bubbles, she could only seal his acupuncture points, and dragged him forward by the collar .

But in fact, she herself has begun to feel a little unable to hold on.

She saw that Yun Ji in front had breathed out Yue Cuiwei for the third time, and felt that she might not be able to resist rushing over to snatch the air from Yun Ji's mouth in the next moment.

No!No... She was frightened by this terrible thought of her own, and a small string of bubbles popped out of her mouth.

She held her breath desperately, and then used her internal strength to slow down.

The pillars glowing green are still going down, there is no turning point or ending... Yes, they are still going down.

I'm afraid I have to explain it here today.

Suffocated to death, then soaked in water to rot.

This picture flashed back and forth in her mind, already forcing her to think that if it was really impossible, she would cut off her own heart.

This is different from the blood poison. At any rate, from the time the blood poison appeared until now, she has thought carefully and made the best and worst plans.

Death by drowning is very close at hand, perhaps within a few breaths.

But she was still struggling.

Because Yun Ji and Yue Cuiwei are still ahead.

With the two of them around, maybe they can really survive.

Although if you keep going down, no matter how you think about it, you will definitely die...

Yun Ji took a fourth breath towards Yue Cuiwei.

Yue Liuyi felt that her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Where did he get so angry!

When Yun Ji lowered his head to breathe again, he was blocked by Yan Hai.

Yan Hai shook his head resolutely at him.

Looking at the endless passage in front of him, and looking back at Yue Liuyi who was already behind by a certain distance, Yun Ji stopped.

They float in the dark.

The road ahead is boundless, and the way back has been cut off.

Yan Hai leaned over and gently touched Yun Ji's with his lips.

It's not a breath, but a simple kiss.

He took Yun Ji's hand and pointed down again, as if signaling him to move on, but the expression on his face seemed to be saying goodbye.

Then a string of air bubbles escaped from his mouth...

Yun Ji closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, he hit the pillar beside him with his palm.

The pillar shook violently.

The water suddenly boiled... Dragging Mu Huaijin, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and Yue Liuyi, who was struggling with his will, suddenly felt this way.

Okay, this time it's not about drowning, but about being scalded to death in boiling water?

She didn't think clearly, and showed a wry smile that was uglier than crying.

Countless bubbles swayed around, and then began to spin rapidly, turning into a huge vortex.

Everyone turned involuntarily with the current.

After filling the entire passage, the vortex began to shrink gradually.

Finally, as if it appeared suddenly, it disappeared suddenly, taking all the outsiders with it.

There was a dead silence in the passage, and the silence of thousands of years was restored.

In this deserted place, in the crimson water, the green pillars glow silently.

First, starting from the position where a strange character was engraved, an extremely fine crack appeared on its body.

After a while, the tiny crack opened up again.

After that, nothing can be seen.

Because, the whole pillar no longer has light.

When getting out of the water, Yan Hai took a deep breath.

There was a sharp pain in my chest between breaths, but the crisp air made the pain seem insignificant.

There are countless ways to die in the world, but drowning is definitely the most unacceptable one for him.

He lay prone on the steps, and it took him a while to recover.

There was a sound of water breaking behind him, and another embarrassed figure fell beside him.

"Hey, hello! God bless!" The man spread his big characters, still muttering in his mouth: "I'm not dead, I'm not dead, I'm not dead, I'm really not dead!"

Annoyed by the noise, he kicked him, and finally stopped the man's chatter.

"Yue Cuiwei?" The man turned his head to see him, and said with joy or regret, "You're not dead!"

"Where are they?" He stood up and sat on the railing beside him.

"Who is it?" Yue Liuyi was still lying there, with an expression of lingering fear after the catastrophe.

Yan Hai was about to speak when he saw a floating object in the water not far ahead.

"It seems to be Mu Huaijin." He kicked Yue Liuyi again: "Go and drag him here!"

"I'm... Okay! Okay! I'll go!" Yue Liuyi returned to the water with a face of reluctance, and dragged Mu Huaijin who didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"You closed his acupoints?" Yan Hai frowned: "It's been so long, it may hurt the heart and lungs."

"If he didn't do this, he would have drowned already, okay? It's better to be crippled than dead!" Yue Liuyi kicked away the acupuncture points on Mu Huaijin's body, and then stepped on his chest.

This kick was so strong that Mu Huaijin yelled, his whole body arched, not to mention the water he ate, he even vomited out bile.
