Chapter 168: Enter the Underground Cave
After getting Mcgee’s permission, the divers dived into the water without hesitation.
Then they began to search carefully. After a few minutes, the Giant Diving Crocodile poked its head out and shook its head slightly to show that it had not found the place.
Mcgee and the others, of course, did not have much imposing manner. They s.h.i.+fted their position slightly and continued to search around the canyon.
It took them more than half an hour to gradually determine the exact location of the place. Although there was a slight deviation, the range of the deviation was not very large.
As long as they confirmed the location, they were confident that they could swim into the water within ten minutes and find the right place.
If it did not work, he could just come up. There was not too much risk in trying anyway. The only thing he had to worry about was the monster in the water.
If there was no other way, he could only buy books that basically raised his underwater breathing level.
This was something he had to do.
However, Mcgee did not really want to use this method until the last moment. After all, it wasn’t worth it to buy it.
The next season was the ice and snow season. There was no need to use this ability, so he would not use it if he could.
After confirming the location, Mcgee let the water turtle and the Diving Crocodile go down with him.
In this way, when he encountered danger, he would still be able to guard against Mcgee going down. He would already be wearing the Dragon G.o.d set because he did not know how deep the water was.
Moreover, after putting on the set, with the support of this weight, he could also quickly land in the water. This would also increase his diving speed. Why not?
At this time, only a few seconds had pa.s.sed, and Mcgee had already dived dozens of meters into the water.
Even this side was already very chaotic. There was almost no light s.h.i.+ning in.
But now, he could see clearly that this part of the darkness quickly found the diving bureau and the previously confirmed place.
It was indeed a canyon, but there were many densely packed caves here. It seemed that it was impossible to determine which cave to enter.
But now he could not care so much. He only had seven minutes left. He had to find the acupuncture cla.s.smate.
Since he did not know, he would try them one by one. If there was a connection, he might be able to find a cave.
After thinking about this, Mcgee entered without hesitation. However, he did not expect it to be after entering the cave.
The water on this side actually disappeared. He did not have time to react. He almost fell, and then a fireball appeared in his hand.
He carefully looked at the situation around him. It was indeed a problem with this cave.
There seemed to be a layer of strange stones on the side of the cave, completely blocking the water outside. It was like a formation that appeared in novels.
He originally wanted to continue suffering in the water for a period of time, but he did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly on land. There was nothing more to say, so he began to search.
Mcgee brought the Water Turtle and the Diving Crocodile directly into the cave. According to Zhao Ling Er’s instructions, they also walked deeper into the cave.
Unfortunately, they did not hear any sound along the way, let alone find Zhao Ling Er.
Moreover, they also encountered many bats along the way. Fortunately, these guys were very afraid of fire. Mcgee only needed to spread the flames all over his body.
These guys did not dare to attack him at all and quickly ran away. However, the danger in the cave was not just that many.
This was only one of them. The most important thing was that the structure of the cave had undergone many changes after being submerged in water for a long time.
And now, in almost an instant, the students actually started to collapse this week.
That’s right, they had collapsed. Because the rocks here were already very soft from the water cannon, after someone stepped on them, they immediately collapsed. It was a type that could not be reversed.
Mcgee and the others were directly submerged by the rocks. Fortunately, they were stronger. Even if they were submerged by the rocks, they could not hurt them at all.
After a while, they climbed out of the cave. However, they looked at each other helplessly. They had already become clay figurines.
“Brother Mcgee, where are you now? There seems to be a bit of light on my side. I think I’m going to encounter lava. It’s so hot here. I can’t find the way out.”
“Do you have lava on your side? I’m already in the cave. Wait for me for a while. Stay where you are and don’t move. It won’t take long for me to get there.”
Mcgee comforted Zhao Ling Er and began to be on guard because there were fire elementals in the lava.
However, he did not tell Zhao Ling Er because he did not want to put too much pressure on her. Moreover, as long as he did not make any big movements at the edge of the lava, he should not disturb the fire elementals.
After all, when he had encountered such a serious situation before, it was the small amount of lava that had angered these guys. Therefore, he did not need to think about the direction at all now.
He only needed to keep moving downwards. He believed that with so many caves, there would probably not be many that could lead to the lava area.
After more than ten minutes, as they went deeper and deeper, the air inside became thinner and thinner. Moreover, it became more and more chaotic below. There was not a single bit of lava at all.
Finally, Mcgee began to worry, because he did not know how long it would take to continue searching.
He was not sure if anything would happen outside. If more things really happened, it would become very troublesome.
Actually, Mcgee had an idea. He wanted to go back to the s.h.i.+p and bring the Gold-swallowing Beast down because, in the cave, the Gold-swallowing beast was like a living map.
It was definitely a living map, even if he had never been here before.
However, he could also find the location of the lava through the heat of his body. As long as he found the lava, would he be afraid of not finding Zhao Ling Er?
However, they had no way to go back now. Even if they were to go out later, they would have to try their luck to get out. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up this idea. He did not want to waste too much time.
They did not have much of an advantage in the search, and now they were stuck in a difficult situation.
Regarding this, the Giant Diving Crocodile and the Water Wave Turtle could not be of much help. They could only rely on their luck to blindly search in the cave. Hopefully, they could directly find the entrance to their grandfather’s house.
