At this time, it was nearly Si Shi, and the water level had risen and had already overflowed Yu Ze's waist. If it took another hour, the water would completely overflow Yu Ze's head. The road has been reopened.

The four of them drenched in the water and arrived near the sluice very smoothly.

However, this is not the best time to open the gate and release the water.

The water level is not high enough now, if the floodgates are opened hastily to release the water, the rushing water will definitely throw everyone tottering.

The need is that when the water level is about to fill the dark channel, it is the best time to release the water and open the gate.

Chu Liuxiang tore off the hem of his clothes and tied the four of them together. After a pause, he couldn't help asking: "Are you all good at swimming?"

Although he was asking the people in front of him, his eyes glanced at Yu Ze from time to time.

Li Yanru glanced at Li Weixi.

"I'm not as good at swimming as my younger brother, but my breath-holding skills are pretty good."

Yu Ze: "Alright."

Chu Liuxiang became anxious when she heard this.

How can this be done?

Although he knew that Yu Ze had been staying in the water-scarce Western Regions all year round, and he was prepared for his water skills, Yu Ze's vague answer still made him flustered.

So he asked Yu Ze again, from the age when he first touched the water, the number of times he drowned, to the turbulence of the river.

It's no small matter.

Yu Ze was annoyed by the direct question.

"Now that we have come to this point, no matter whether there is water or not, we can only go out from here. We don't know how deep and long this dark river is, and we don't know where it is connected. Everything is unknown. It is better to be calm. It is life. It's death, it all depends on this time."

At this time, Yu Ze was quite calm. He looked at the sluice in front of him with a strangely calm expression.

He didn't ask Chu Liuxiang what he wanted to say to him, and he didn't tell him the thoughts that came from the words "forever united" in his heart.

This place is too deep, too dark and too dirty to talk about such romance.

He waited to go out, find a place with magnificent scenery, and then talk about it with Chu Liuxiang in detail.

Thinking of this, Yu Ze couldn't help pursing his lips and secretly laughing.

Although he said "resign to fate", but after careful study, he didn't have the idea that he would die here.

It can't be said whether it's the trust in Gu Xichao or the confidence in his own strength.

Or maybe it's because as long as they have this thought in their hearts, they can always swim to the shore.

Yu Ze thought so.

Take it for granted

——This time, I still won't lose.

Seeing Yu Ze's calm expression, Chu Liuxiang miraculously calmed down a little bit of uneasiness in her heart.

Yu Ze is a contradictory combination of fanaticism and calmness. His desire to kill is abnormally strong, but under this desire, he pulls a thread for himself extremely calmly.

This line is lower than that of normal people, but it is far from the level of insanity.

Day after day, he trained an incomparably powerful heart in countless moments of life and death.

He knows that he is resigned to his fate and that he is poor, but he will not let it be.

The closer you are to death, the calmer you will be.

This is true in the great desert, and it is also true in the water prison.

Knowing that it is death.

Still going to fight.

Whether you survive after working hard or not is up to fate.

But God seems to favor him especially, he struggled again and again, forced a way out in the darkness, and stumbled to the present.

So this gave him a strange arrogance and self-confidence.

Chu Liuxiang looked at the person in front of her, her heart beating violently.

Irrelevant.

It is a kind of fearlessness and pride in the face of great challenges.

He tightened the ropes around their waists, stared at the gradually rising water level, and said with a smile, "Let's start."

In another quarter of an hour, the water level will reach Yu Ze's chin.

Yu Ze and Li Yanru looked at each other.

Two holes were drilled in the wall.

At that time, Yu Ze and Li Yanru will destroy the sluice gate, while Li Weixi and Chu Liuxiang will hold the two holes respectively to prevent the four of them from being swept away by the turbulent current. They will not go out until the water fills the dungeon and stabilizes.

Time passed minute by minute.

Wait until the water level is about to overflow Yu Ze's chin.

A knife and a sword streaked across the air.

After a few sounds of wood cracking, the sluice was flushed open by the water.

The shattered sawdust turned into sharp blades, engulfed by the turbulent influx, and cut wounds on the four people.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly thanked him for playing in the sea on a windy day without fear of death when he was young, at least he now has the experience to stabilize his body in this turbulent current.

But fortunately, because the water level in the water prison was high enough before, it was quickly filled with water.

The four looked at each other, let go of their hands, and swam towards the dark river.

At this time, the sun should be at its brightest, but looking up from the water, it was dark.

Without the illumination of the night pearl, they couldn't even see the people in front of them clearly, let alone judge the depth of the river.

What's more, the current in the dark river is so fast that I tried my best to go upstream a few feet, but when I was washed by the current, I could only bend my body and rush down the current.

Fortunately, while stumbling, Chu Liuxiang touched a raised rock, which seemed to be part of the mountain.

He held on tightly, and with great effort hung the ropes around the waists of the four of them on the protrusions of the rocks.

Then, fixed by the rope, climbed up step by step, and finally climbed up to the shore when the oxygen was about to run out.

It's not necessarily the river bank, it's just a small platform, but even so, it's enough for four people to settle down.

"Cough! Cough!"

Yu Ze, who choked on a lot of water, suddenly coughed violently.

Among the four, he was the weakest in water. He felt the burning sensation in his nasal cavity, and felt for the first time that he should make up for this shortcoming.

Chu Liuxiang patted his back repeatedly.

That movement was so gentle, even if he couldn't see Yu Ze, he could clearly feel his concern and distress.

——I couldn't help but make Yu Ze want to cough a little longer.

Forget it.

Turning around, Yu Ze vetoed this idea.

There are outsiders here.

I can't afford to lose this face.

"I'm all right."

He sniffed, only to feel that the nasal cavity and the brain were burning hot, and he was indescribably uncomfortable.

He glanced at his mouth, relying on the fact that others couldn't see clearly in the dark, his handsome face suddenly wrinkled like a bun.

Chu Liuxiang: It's cute, since you can't see it, let's pinch it secretly.

Pirate handsome is pirate handsome.

Relying on the excellent eyesight trained by day and night all year round, and the wonderful technique trained by being a gentleman on the beam, he attacked steadily and ruthlessly——

Then he was firmly stopped by another night owl who was also nocturnal.

Yu Ze narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a long while, silently glanced at the two people beside them with a tacit understanding, and then relying on them not being able to see, leaned closer

Score at the touch of a button.

"It looks like a cave here."

Li Yanru pulled Li Weixi up and said.

"Ah."

The two who had just done "bad things" stood up with normal expressions.

They glanced around, only to find that there were some luminescent plants growing on the corners of the rocks, like moss, gathered in small clusters.

The light emitted is extremely weak, but it is particularly conspicuous in the dark, like a road sign, spreading all the way to the distance.

Yu Ze pulled out a cluster at random, and picked up a leaf from the water with the help of its faint light.

The leaves are wet and soft, but it can still be seen from the shape,

——It’s a maple leaf.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. There are no trees in this cave. Since there are maple leaves in the water, it means that it is connected with the outside world.

In this way, as long as you follow the direction of the water flow, you can go out sooner or later.

Yu Ze thought about the nearby terrain, and suddenly realized that they should have walked to the north of the mountain. The terrain in the north is lower than that in the south. The river is now hidden inside the mountain, but if it flows down according to the terrain, it will soon be exposed on the surface. .

The only tricky thing now is the steep rock wall.

Although it is a cave, the further you go, the less places you can stay.

——It was luck that Chu Liuxiang was able to find that protruding rock.

But the turbulent current rushed over, and these cliffs were naturally nothing.

Everyone climbed the rock wall and walked forward for a while, and finally saw a faint light.

It's an exit!

Yu Ze's eyes lit up, he glanced unconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

On the rock not far away, there is a piece of moss glowing faintly, but there are obvious traces of being trampled on.

The moss was about ten feet away from them, so it was impossible for the four of them to step on it.

So who will be trampled on?

Alarm bells rang in Yu Ze's heart.

Raise your head sharply.

But he found a gun pointing at him faintly.
