I quickly said no, there are zongzi under the water, and there are no stone sculptures below. They are all terracotta figurines made of living people. None of them contain a zongzi inside, so I almost couldn't come back!

It was probably because I had held my breath for too long. At this time, my internal injury occurred faintly. I lowered my lowered and coughed twice. A mouthful of saliva spurted out with blood. I took several breaths before I felt a little more comfortable.

With my physical condition, it is not suitable for working hard anymore. Chen Yun could see it, just say, what did you see below? If there were really rice dumplings, why didn’t it come up?

When Chen Yun first heard the word "zongzi", she was still a little scared, but she didn't see the zongzi floating on the water, so she naturally no longer was so scared and was busy asking about the situation under the water.

I roughly told Chen Yun about my discovery. Chen Yun's eyes lit up after hearing this, saying that you really found someone from Rand Company below? I nodded and said yes, but that guy should have drowned now and was caught by so many zongzi at the same time, so he couldn't float up at all. Let's go quickly, if the zongzi underwater really catches up, we will be bad!

Chen Yun said that it shouldn't be. These corpses may be the guards of the new recruits during the lifetime of Gongzi, so they would be buried with them after their death. They kept them all in such a cruel way and continued to act as guards of the Gongzi tomb. The reason why they were stuck in their feet was to prevent their personal soldiers from escaping.

I smiled bitterly and said, "This theory is really interesting. People have been sealed into the pottery figurines and are suffocated to death. How can I escape?" Chen Yun said of course that she wanted to lock their ghosts together. The ancients were sometimes very ignorant. Perhaps the Gongren believed that using this method could leave behind the souls of their personal guards and always stand guard for themselves.

I said what about the kind of crystal that can shine in the water that I saw? That thing is like a night pearl, and it can shine without light. If it weren't for the accumulation of a layer of mud and dirt under the dark river, we would probably not need a cold light stick to swim here.

Chen Yun said she didn't know, but when we came back, we could go into the water to take a look. What I am more concerned about now is the main tomb of the Gongzi. Since these personal guards have been found by us, it means that the main tomb is close!

I said that I saw the beard under the water, which means that the two remaining people in Rand's company should be in front of me. Chen Yun said it doesn't matter, didn't Aguman go in too? Who do you think we have him here?

I think about it, I have seen how great Brother Zi is, and even those two guys are holding guns, I'm afraid they may not be able to threaten him.

I quickly accelerated the paddling speed with Chen Yun. Two minutes later, the river came to an end. What appeared in front of us was a bumpy stone wall with moss everywhere. Chen Yun hit it with the hilt of the knife twice and found that it was solid, so he had to turn around and say to me.

"It seems that we can only dive to have the opportunity to climb up. I don't know how long the waterway below is."

I said I should be fine. The beard just now should have been washed out along the waterway below. When I first saw him, the person was not dead, which proved that the underwater secret passage was not long.

Chen Yun nodded and said, "With that being said, the waterway is tilted upwards. It will definitely take more time for us to go upstream."

I put the remaining breathing mask onto the oxygen tank and handed it to Chen Yun, and fastened the breathing mask for her. Such a small oxygen tank probably only stored the breathing volume for fifteen minutes, but the time should be about the same.

Chen Yun asked me through the mask, "Is it really okay to not have to breathe a mask?" I reassured her that the limit of holding my breath under the water is two minutes and fifteen seconds. Of course, if you do that, you may faint, but the problem of maintaining it for two minutes will not be too big.

After getting my affirmation, Chen Yun no longer hesitated and immediately dived down.

I was afraid of something unexpected, so I quickly took a breath and plunged into the water. Soon after, I saw countless white arms shaking under the water. The rice dumplings were confined to a very small area and could not reach their hands further, so Chen Yun and I were still safe.

Dive down along the stone wall that was infiltrated into the water. After about ten meters, Chen Yun took the lead in finding the "water outlet". Fortunately, the cave was wide enough, about one meter in diameter, so Chen Yun quickly got into the cave. I held my breath under the water and turned around, took a look at the bearded corpse, and then followed Chen Yun into it.

The waterway was narrow and long, but fortunately there were not many turning points. Chen Yun and I both had cold light sticks on our waists, so we could see clearly between each other. Both sides were swimming one after another, less than half a meter away. Sometimes my hand would touch Chen Yun's calves. Seeing that she was swimming too slowly, I tried to push her forward.

After about one and a half minutes, I felt a little stuffy in my chest. The main reason was that I was injured when I fell from the sand pit. I kept holding my breath for a long time, which may have caused the wound. After realizing that my movements had slowed down, Chen Yun, who was swimming in front, hurriedly turned around, took off her breathing mask, and handed it to me.

Now is not the time to show off. I grabbed the breathing mask and sucked a lot of itchy mouthful. After my breathing was smoother, I continued to hold my breath and quickly returned the breathing mask to Chen Yun.

The water outlet was longer than I expected. Fortunately, Chen Yun and I took turns to breathing with the oxygen tank, which was not too difficult. It was difficult to judge the time underwater. In short, when the oxygen tank was consumed about one-third, I saw a bright spot emitted from my head, which was much brighter than my cold light rod. I suddenly lit up in front of me, and I swam upwards with Chen Yun. After persisting for more than ten seconds, I finally got out of the underwater secret passage.

My head rushed out of the water and I took a deep breath. Chen Yun was not as reckless as me because she was carrying an oxygen tank. She was very slow upstream, about ten seconds later than me. When I reached the water surface, I said to her, "Put off the breathing mask to save some oxygen. I should use it when I turn around and leave."

Chen Yun took off her mask, put two-thirds of the oxygen tank left in her backpack, and paddled with me to the edge of the Jishui Pond.

There is a bluestone staircase on the edge, extending to the bottom of the water. The water in the underworld seeps out along other tomb passages. The real location of the main tomb chamber is too high, just avoiding the water flow. I have to admire the ancients who even considered the possibility of water accumulation in the tombs when they built the tombs a thousand three hundred years ago.

Chen Yun looked at the dim dark river and said that this place should have belonged to part of the main tomb chamber, but there was too much snow on the top of the mountain, and most of the tomb passages should have been destroyed. Fortunately, the tomb was built very firmly, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

I said this is not a good thing. The water flow in the underworld erodes the tomb passage and can destroy the mechanisms set up in the ancient tomb. If there were no such undercurrents, we might not be able to get close to the main tomb so easily.
