Continuing forward, another huge space appeared in front of Li Xiao and Zhou Qing.
There is no road ahead, only a cliff across the road.
Under the cliff, there is a deep pool with vast water and bottomless depth.
The only way to go next is by water.
Then with the light in the cave, Li Xiao saw two waterways in the distance of the pool leading deeper into the cave.
Li Xiao, who is familiar with the game, knows that these two waterways can lead to the location of the artifact.
However, these two waterways are very long, and you need to swim a long distance to reach the location of the artifact. There is actually another real shortcut.
That is, there is a secret passage in the water below the deep pool, which leads directly to the location of the artifact.
The problem is that if you take this route, you have to dive again. Li Xiao looked back at Zhou Qing and gave up this route without hesitation.
Just stay as far away as possible, at least swimming in the water is much safer than diving.
Taking off his heavy carapace armor, Li Xiao moved his body and jumped into the water first.
There are some luminous plants under the water, and you can barely see the scene in the water. If you look closely, you will find that the pool is so deep that you can't even see the bottom.
The further down you go, the darker the light becomes, and the originally wide water area seems to have turned into a bottomless well at such a depth.
Under the deep and dark giant well, there seemed to be some kind of abyssal beast that would rush up and swallow Li Xiao up at some point.
Fear of deep water!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Li Xiao emerged from the water and saw a black shadow hitting him!
Two soft objects hit Li Xiao's face directly, and his forehead collided with Zhou Qing's chin.
The body crashed straight into Li Xiao's arms, and Li Xiao, who had just emerged from the water, was thrown back into the water again.
Real human depth bomb!
The sudden change also made Zhou Qing a little confused. She never expected that she would collide with Li Xiao when she jumped out of such a large water surface.
Obviously the place where she jumped was not the same as where Li Xiao jumped!
Two soft objects were attached to his face, and the elastic body was in his arms. Li Xiao hugged them instinctively, but his hands touched another soft and elastic place.
Li Xiao, sensing something was wrong, quickly let go of his hand, but took a sip of water.
Seeing that Li Xiao seemed to be drowning, Zhou Qing quickly reached out and hugged him. This time, her breasts were closer to Li Xiao's face.
Ten seconds later, both of them surfaced from the water.
Li Xiao rubbed his forehead, which hurt, and Zhou Qing rubbed his chin, which hurt. They looked at each other and both blushed.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the embarrassment underwater.
"Go this way!" Li Xiao took the lead and swam along a waterway.
After leaving the deep pool, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing came to the passage again.
It is said to be a passage, but the lower half of the passage has been submerged in water. Li Xiao and the two still have to walk through the water.
The water in the channel was not clear, it was so turbid that it was impossible to see clearly what was going on in the water.
Fortunately, the water level was not high, and the deepest part could only submerge Li Xiao's neck. Li Xiao held a metal spear and probed forward little by little.
"Be careful! There are piranhas!"
Li Xiao's expression changed and he thrust the spear in his hand into the water!
When he raised the spear again, on the tip of the spear was a struggling piranha the size of a washbasin!
The piranha's constantly opening and closing mouth, densely packed with sharp teeth, looks very dangerous.
There was not just one piranha. Looking closely, the surrounding water was rippled, and more and more piranhas were approaching the two of them.
"Hurry up to that platform and put on your armor!" Li Xiao pointed to a stone exposed out of the water in the passage and hurriedly urged Zhou Qingdao.
Zhou Qing didn't waste any time and swam up the stone.
The stone was not big and could only accommodate one person on it. Li Xiao stood under the stone, always alert to the water in front of him.
Click!
However, he really couldn't see clearly what was going on in the water, and his body hurt as a piranha bit him on the thigh.
Li Xiao thrust his spear down again and once again picked up a piranha from the water.
The piranha corpse was thrown into the water far away. The place where it fell into the water instantly started to churn and blood filled the air. The piranha corpse was immediately devoured by its companions.
This scene fell into Li Xiao's eyes, making his heart sink again.
Piranha, too many!
More and more piranhas were approaching Li Xiao. Li Xiao leaned against a stone and stirred the water with his spear desperately to drive away the piranhas.
The wound on his thigh was constantly leaking blood. For these piranhas, the smell of blood was definitely the best thing to inspire their ferocity.
All of a sudden, more and more piranhas came following Li Xiao.
thump!
Zhou Qing jumped down from the stone, and wearing carapace armor, she stood in front of Li Xiao.
Although the piranha's teeth are sharp, they can't bite through the armor.
Li Xiao quickly climbed up the stone, and when he came out of the water, he saw that a deep wound had been bitten by a piranha on his right calf.
Just as he was about to take out medicine and sprinkle it on the wound, Li Xiao stopped.
It's time to go into the water again soon, so spraying pesticides is a waste.
He wrapped the wound with a strip of cloth and quickly put on the carapace armor.
Jumping back into the water, Li Xiao, Zhou Qing and others used their spears to clean up the piranhas around them as they moved forward.
The passage was very long, which Li Xiao had already expected.
Fortunately, apart from piranhas, there are no other dangerous creatures in these shallow waters.
After nearly three kilometers of winding passages, Li Xiao and Li Xiao would go out to take a break when encountering higher terrain.
For a distance of three to four kilometers, Li Xiao and the two walked through the water for two hours.
When they came to a high ground for repairs again, the armors of Li Xiao and Zhou Qing were already covered with piranha teeth marks.
Li Xiao looked a little bad because his legs were in great pain.
After taking off his armor and pants, the wound where he was originally bitten by the piranha was pale in color.
This injury was not serious, but after being soaked in the dirty water for more than two hours, the small wound turned into a big problem.
"We need to speed up, otherwise your wound will definitely get infected if we delay it any longer!"
Zhou Qing's face became solemn when he saw the injury on Li Xiao's calf.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Needless to say, I'm afraid the wound has been infected now. The water here is really unclean!"
It's right to think about it. The water in this underground cave is stagnant water, and since it doesn't see sunlight all year round, the water here is probably full of bacteria and viruses.
Li Xiao didn't speak anymore, just put on his armor again and limped back into the water.
At the end of the passage, the scene in front of us suddenly became clear.
It is another huge space. Below the space is a deep pool, and above it is a high hollow.
In the center of the pool, there is a large island in the lake.
The island is circular in shape, with a glowing purple treasure chest on the east and west sides.
In the center, although there was no artifact visible, fluctuating energy waves came from the center of the island, causing the air in the cave to change color.
