Chapter 489: unconscious red rope
What is hidden under the sand can only be seen with clairvoyance.
Several flashlight beams were scanned across the water, but nothing was found.
Oddly enough, the thin layer of mist on the water surface does not look very dense, but it makes it impossible to see anything under the water.
After a while, someone finally had the courage to say, "How about you try to get into the water?"
“But we didn’t bring any protective equipment for diving this time, and I don’t know if the mist and things underwater are poisonous.”
It is not a mistake not to bring diving protection equipment. After all, this time we came to the desert. Who would have thought that we could encounter a river underground.
“We have been at the river for a while, and I don’t feel any discomfort. There should be no problem. I am good at water and can hold my breath for a long time. I can...”
Before the team member had time to say the word "go down", Huzi, who had been silently at the end of the team and responsible for breaking up the rear, suddenly said: "Be careful!"
This caution was addressed to the person closest to the river.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person back.
The man was dragged back several steps and was still a little confused.
Just when he saw a small wet handprint appearing where he originally stood, he suddenly became covered in white hair and sweat.
If he hadn't been pulled back just now, then the fingerprint might not have been on the ground, but on his ankle.
It is not impossible to be suddenly pulled into the water without warning.
There is a difference between knowing how to swim and being suddenly dragged into the water.
The former is prepared and will be able to handle themselves in the water naturally.
But if you are dragged into the water unprepared, your first reaction after entering the water is to struggle. If there is something nearby that causes trouble, it is not impossible to drown like this.
“Brother, thank you very much!”
Huzi waved his hand in response to the gratitude on his face, "You're welcome."
“Did you discover anything just now?”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were staring at the water and the small handprint that appeared on the shore, and they couldn’t help but look at Huzi.
"That thing moved too fast." Huzi met Jiang Lingxi's gaze and shook his head in shame, "From the time I noticed the movement in the water to when I pulled the person back, I didn't see the shadow of the thing at all. But , there seemed to be two green lights.”
Jiang Lingxi felt her heart skip a beat, "Green light? Are you sure it's green light?"
Huzi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, those two green lights..." He said when he saw the night vision binoculars on one of the team members, and stretched out his hand, "When I shined my flashlight over it, it was like Pretty much the same.”
Jiang Lingxi first glanced at the night vision telescope pointed at him, and then returned to the water, her expression becoming more and more serious.
"Actually, I made another discovery last night, but I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure about it. I wonder if you still remember the first inn we entered. At that time, behind the screen, I also saw a pair of fleeting green The eyes are quite fast, but Hu Zi also saw it just now, so it must not be my imagination."
As soon as these words were said, everyone suddenly felt that the temperature around them suddenly dropped a lot.
Green eyes, could they be human?
Besides, it’s impossible for anyone to live in this place!
No, to be precise, this kind of place is not suitable for both animals and plants.
After all, animals need food, and plants also need sunlight.
There is nothing in this land.
What is the creature with green eyes that can be seen twice?
One person may be dazzled, but two people cannot be dazzled.
This is simply inconsistent!
Yunyi: "Is it possible that that thing is a guardian beast?"
Changning: "Guardian beast?"
"Didn't we guess before that this was a large tomb? I read in a book that some large tombs will keep some guardian beasts to prevent outsiders from breaking in." "What book did you read?"
“Diary of a Grave Robber, a novel.”
Channing: “…”
Changning’s speechless expression was not concealed. Yunyi reluctantly muttered: “Art comes from reality.”
This time Chang Ningli ignored her.
Because she saw Jiang Lingxi squatting down and about to reach out to touch the still wet handprint.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Xi!"
Just when Jiang Lingxi's hand was only a few millimeters away from the small handprint, a small hand that was so pale that there was no trace of blood suddenly shot out from under the mist-filled water like lightning, aiming directly at Jiang Lingxi's wrist.
But this time Jiang Lingxi was well prepared. Just when the little hand was about to be grasped, he turned his wrist and held the little hand with his gloved hand.
There was a sound of inhalation suddenly coming from behind.
Jiang Lingxi originally wanted to pull the thing out of the water directly, but she underestimated how slippery the little thing was.
The soft little palm in her hand suddenly seemed to have no bones, and when she tried to pull it up, it slipped out.
Without even a splash, it completely disappeared under the water.
Jiang Lingxi: “…”
Is this a loach?
However, her attack this time was not without gain.
Spreading her palms, apart from the water stains on her gloves from her previous movements, there was now a vermilion braided rope in her palms, with a small bead strung on the rope.
This is what she picked off from the little hand just now.
There is nothing special about the braided rope. The braiding method is very common. The beads on it look like ordinary beads. But if you turn it over, you will see a 'swastika' mark engraved on the other side.
This made her think of Wujue instantly.
Moreover, this braided rope looks very new at first glance, and does not look like it is old at all.
“Changning, come here.”
Changning quickly came over and asked, "Are you okay, Sister Xi?"
“It’s okay.” Jiang Lingxi showed her the red string, “Do you recognize this thing?”
Chang Ning looked at the wet red rope in front of him, and his eyes widened immediately, "I, of course I know him. This is my master... This is unconscious. This is a little habit of his. Sister Xi, look at the beads. The engraved 'swastika' is a symbol of good luck, but to him it also means harmlessness..."
At this point, she got stuck, took another deep breath, and then continued: "This means that the thing just now is harmless, and may even help us."
Jiang Lingxi: “…”
Everyone who is listening attentively: “…”
Yun Yi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wujue, are you sure you are not tied wrongly?"
Then he was glared at by Chang Ning.
“Although it is his habit to tie red rope, he is not able to tie it to everyone.”
“Now, go into the water and retrieve the little guy? Maybe you can lead the way for us?”
Jiang Lingxi handed the red rope in her hand to Chang Ning, and at the same time tightened her cuffs, "Get in the water!"
Since we are going around on land, why not explore the way in the water.
