Lantes looked up at Lu Yuchen, his lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and fiddled with the crackling fire with disinterest.The fat man raised his legs, leaned against the rock wall behind him, and hummed an unknown tune with great enjoyment.Yao started to giggle inexplicably and closed his eyes. He squeezed Lu Yuchen's palm, and Captain Lu gave him a sideways look and shook off his hand.

Throughout the second half of the night, no one fell asleep after being made such a fuss by the fat man.I don’t know how long it took before Alice finally woke up under the waiting of everyone——as a spirit-bound person, Alisa originally belonged to a part of her soul, and her release caused a state of missing soul. The pressure caused by the body also increased. This time Alisa left for about ten hours. After Alice woke up, it took her a long time to return to normal.

Lantes didn't know where to find out a pack of milk powder and gave it to Alice. Thinking about the white sugar that the fat man sneaked into his bag, Lu and Chen instantly had the illusion that they were actually here for an autumn outing.

"The further you go down, the wider the river becomes. The whole river is funnel-shaped, narrow in the middle and wide on both sides. When it reaches the widest point, it is a dead end. The water surface is calm but very deep, about [-] meters deep. Deep, the surroundings are very dark, and the bottom cannot be seen." Alice brushed the broken hair covering her eyes, and said wearily, "It takes time to walk down, and in the out-of-spirit state, my moving speed is twice as fast as usual. , It took four hours to get to the end just like this, unfortunately, we chose the wrong direction at the beginning."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuchen asked, "Do you have to cross the river?"

"Yes, if you want to move on, you have to cross the river." Alice smiled wryly, "Over the deep pool, there are other creatures under the water, large fish or schools of fish, anyway, I saw a huge fuzzy shadow in the water. Slowly moving underwater, it's just creepy - that's why I think we should cross the river about 300 meters upstream from where we are now, where the current is strong but moderately wide, the entire length of the river In the middle, the rapid current can also reduce the potential threat to us from aquatic life."

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to cross the river.

300 meters upstream is the narrowest part of the entire river in Alice's mouth, but there is also a straight-line distance of about 15 meters there, and there are huge rocks in the river that can be used as a place to rest in the middle of the river-in fact, this distance is for the wind element It's a piece of cake for supernatural beings, they can fly over easily through the gathering of wind elements under their feet, and they don't even need to get wet on the soles of their shoes.

It's a pity Krystal wasn't there.

Now there is only Yao, a half-hearted elemental power user left.

"You can't ask me to be proficient in everything. I'm a human being, not a god." Faced with Lu Yuchen's contemptuous gaze, the man shrugged shamelessly, obviously thick-skinned to the extreme.At the beginning, Captain Lu’s idea was very naive. Yao could fly back and forth four or five times, take them over one by one, and then equip them. For the supernatural beings who are not wind elements themselves, gathering wind elements is a very tiring task.

And he, His Excellency Yao Mandela, refused to tire himself out like a mule.

Therefore, the most suitable way to cross the river is for each person to carry their own belongings, and then cross the river from the top of the river by climbing a simple line bridge made of two climbing ropes.Yao patted the shoulder of the former accompanying officer, and said dryly: "Don't be depressed, at least I can help you fix the rope on the other side."

Lu Yuchen smiled coolly: "You can cut corners, and when we all fall into the river, your Fergolie will be saved."

Yao turned his face away to express his disdain for this statement. He believed that Lu Yuchen was completely judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.After Alice recovered a little and ate some dry food, they immediately took action.Yao took one end of the rope and an improvised fire to reach the opposite bank first, and lit the fire to drive away most creatures—this was what Yao insisted on. In his memory, most creatures in Fergolie were afraid of the primitive flames , such as the human-faced fox is one of them.

After the fire ignited and lit up the surrounding space, it was a huge natural stone platform. Going further inside, it seemed that there was a natural hole to enter—except for the previous nightmare, Lu and Chendi Once, he saw the scene on the other side of the river, but the fact is that the scene on the other side of the river was very consistent with his dream, almost exactly the same.Thinking of that dream, Lu Yuchen subconsciously glanced at Fatty, who was squatting by the river, concentrating on trying to see what magical species could be in the river.After Yao made the bonfire, he jumped up again, and finally landed firmly beside Lu Yuchen on the other side of the river.

Captain Lu turned his face and swept him around: "I don't think you look tired."

Yao smiled slightly and said without guilt: "But I don't want to fly again."

The order of crossing the river is decided by Lu and Chen.The sequence is in the order of Alice - Lantes - Lu Yuchen - Fatty - Yao.Because Alice has not fully recovered her physical strength, most of her equipment was shared by others, and she only brought a simple life-saving air bag. She stepped on a rope that was only as thick as the index finger and middle finger combined, and the other was slightly higher. Where it is used as a handrail, the rope will vibrate violently every time you move a step.

Alice had an accident when she walked to the middle.

A slender shadow suddenly appeared on the turbulent water surface and was getting closer and closer to the water surface. Once the black back was exposed, it quickly dived and disappeared. The shape looked very similar to the shark in the sea.

It seems to be completely unaffected by the current, spinning in circles in the flowing water, and there is a possibility of splashing water at any time.

Lu Yuchen hurriedly reminded Alice to speed up, there was something in the water.

"Maybe it's a jiaoyu." The fat man frowned slightly, and before Lu Yuchen could stop him, he pulled the safety bolt and fired a shot into the water.Fatty's marksmanship is pretty good, even better than Lu Yuchen's. His shot immediately had an effect, the sound of the bullet hitting the body was obvious, and the shadow in the water trembled suddenly and then made a sound similar to a baby crying. The sound, the light of the water, electricity, and lights, saw a trace of black blood emerging from the dark water surface, and the unknown creature sank to the bottom of the water suddenly without a trace.

At this critical moment, Lu Yuchen thought of a sentence: Anything that sounds like a baby crying is not a good thing.

Alice took advantage of this blank period to reach the other side smoothly.

Lu Yuchen began to feel uneasy, with a strong premonition that something bad was about to happen.

It happened very suddenly. When the fat man was slowly explaining that the jiaoyu is a special species of sea snake and fish mixed in Fergolie, there was a huge noise on the water surface, and the water splashed all over the body. The baby screamed The sound of crying sounded as if right next to his ears. Before Lu Yuchen could react to what had happened, a black and blue scaled creature with a long tail jumped out of the water. There was an obvious Viscous blood is flowing out of the hole of the gun hole. Its head is like a catfish, and its mouth has fangs that belong to large carnivorous cats on land. The whole fish flaps its wings and makes a weak vibration sound. Lantes, who was nearest to the side, pulled suddenly, and even the fish and the man fell back into the water.

Huge water splashed, as if someone had thrown a thunder in the water.In the confusion, someone's flashlight flickered, and Lu Yuchen only saw traces of bright red blood floating on the water.

He drew out his dagger and took two steps forward, and then jumped into the water before Yao could react and grab him.

Yao only had time to swear and then jumped into the water.

With a dagger in his mouth, he threw the bag on his back onto the shore, and shouted at the fat man standing on the shore, "You go first!"

The fat man's movements are also nimble. Without saying a word, he stepped on the rope with his bag on his back. His weight pressed the whole rope close to the water surface, but his speed was very fast. When Lu Yuchen grabbed the barb-covered When the fishtail surfaced again, he was in the middle of the rope bridge.

Although the dagger was sharp, it lost momentum under the buffer of the water, and when it stabbed down suddenly, it could only hurt the skin scales, which were sticky and sticky, and had an unusual stench.Lu Yuchen stabbed down a few times, and the deepest one only pierced the dagger halfway. A large piece of cut scales floated on the water surface, and the fishy smell was so strong that it was almost suffocating, but the monster named Jiaoyu was still dead. He refused to let go of his mouth, and just grabbed Lantes in his mouth and swam quickly to the bottom of the water.

It was only then that Lu Yuchen realized that this underground river was very deep, almost bottomless like a chasm, and narrowed as it went down. Yao was holding the fish's head in front of him, and was dragged down for a while. Unable to free his hands to do other actions, Lu Yuchen managed to see the underwater environment clearly with the dim light of the beacon flashlight around his waist. After going down a few meters to a very narrow environment, he looked around and suddenly Lifting his feet quickly, stuck himself between the rock walls on both sides, spit out some water splashes, and he began to be a little out of breath.

Yao over there felt the tendency of the fish to swim, and turned his head suddenly to see that it was Lu Yuchen holding the fish tail and lying in the crack to prevent the strange fish from diving, but he was holding the thick fish tail. It looks like a koala hugging a big tree, and it looks quite cute.

Grinning and showing his white teeth, Yao grabbed the fish head and turned around abruptly to rub against Lu Yuchen. Before the man could react, he clamped the fish head under his armpit, stretched out a hand to stop his head and Leaned up to kiss him.

After all, it was underwater, Yao didn't dare to play tricks, and pretended to transfer some oxygen to Lu Yuchen. After the tip of his tongue slid across the man's cold lips ambiguously, he retracted his head and ended the kiss.

At this moment, due to blood loss and lack of oxygen, Lantes was completely unconscious.

Yao gestured to Lu Yuchen, then grabbed the wide-open mouth of the strange fish with both hands, and tore it open from the jaw with Lu Yuchen's dumbfounded gaze.The fish began to roll over violently, and the tail flicked Lu Yuchen completely overturned. During this period, the barbed tail slammed his stomach fiercely, his eyes turned black and his throat felt fishy, ​​Lu Yuchen almost To be drawn to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Choking into a mouthful of cold river water, a huge shadow passed him by. Lu Yuchen subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, only to realize that he was grabbing Lantes' sleeve.

There was not much air left in his lungs, and soon he felt his whole body becoming heavy. With the last of his strength, he plunged the curled dagger into the soft rift wall next to him to stabilize his body. At the same time, his waist tightened. , Yao, who had already dealt with the strange fish, turned back, put his arms around Lu Yuchen's waist, kicked his legs, and swam towards the surface of the water quickly.

On the surface of the water, the light of Fatty's flashlight guided them in their direction. When the three of them emerged from the water, Lu Yuchen's eyes turned black one after another. He felt his lungs hurt like they were about to explode, and his mouth was indistinguishable. With the smell of blood and fish, a piece of fish scale accidentally swallowed spit out from the tip of his tongue with a bah, and Lu Yuchen felt that he didn't want to eat fish anymore in his life.

Swimming to the shore wearily, the fat man reached out to pick up the unconscious Lantes, and the square was far away from the shore.

Beside Lantes was Alice who lost consciousness again inexplicably.

Lu Yuchen frowned, but didn't have time to ask questions, and stayed silently watching the fat man deal with Lantes urgently.Lantes' abdomen was bitten off a gash, which was not deep but left a lot of blood. It may be that a certain blood vessel was torn, and the wound was turned white from the blisters, which turned out to be a little hideous.Under the pressure of the fat man, he spit out a mouthful of water and resumed his breathing.

Lu Yuchen felt relieved and leaned against a rock that was closest to the bonfire that had been lit earlier.

Yao seemed quite energetic, and regardless of being drenched like a water ghost, he went to the unconscious Alice, knelt down and pinched her chin to look at her, and then gave a suspicious "hmm".

Lu Yuchen wiped his face, and suddenly yelled out of nowhere——

"Hey, Fatty."

"Why?" Wang Aiguo, who was rummaging through the bag for trauma medicine, answered without raising his head.

Lu Yuchen frowned: "The first-aid trauma medicine is in my bag, are you messing around in your bag?"

"...Your bag is full of river water, I'll see if there is any spare in my bag."

"Oh."

"Why did you call me just now?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly want to eat candy."

The fat man stopped rummaging, and raised his head to look at Lu Yuchen for no apparent reason.Yao was still squatting beside Alice, dripping water all over his body, and said "oh" meaningfully, curling up the corners of his lips.

"Eat. I still have to feed you." The fat man said lightly, and turned his head to deal with Lantes' wound.

"Last time, you said, what brand of toffee did they give you in the snow mountain?"

"..." The fat man thought for a while, and then said with a smile, "Big White Rabbit." Lu Yuchen turned to Yao expressionlessly, and the latter smiled brightly.

He raised his jaw in the fat man's direction, and Lu Yuchen said, "Fake, fuck him."
