Chapter 1167 Missing (II)

"It should be okay? Brother Zhuang has a lot of lung capacity. His diving record is several minutes higher than the world record. Nothing should happen..."

After Zhuang Rui returned home from Pirate Island, he once showed off in the swimming pool of the manor, so Peng Fei knew about this.

However, looking at the calm lake, Peng Fei felt very up and down. After all, this is not a diving competition. There is no need to hold himself in such a hard time. If you breathe out and dive in, you won’t delay anything.

"Then wait..."

Dr. Ren said with a worried look, and had no intention of caring about the old turtle that had been peeled off in his hand. He stood by the lake with Timur and others, looking forward to Zhuang Rui showing the lake.

Ten minutes passed, and except for the occasional fish jumped out of the water, the lake was still silent.

"Nothing will happen to Zhuang Rui, right? It's been more than ten minutes..." Dr. Ren's voice sounded again, and it seemed so harsh in this quiet place.

"It won't be wrong, there will definitely be no problem..." Peng Fei seemed to be answering Dr. Ren's words, and more like muttering to himself, his face a little pale.

Twenty minutes passed, and everyone on the shore had changed their faces. Peng Fei had taken off his clothes and was about to go into the water, but he was dragged down by Bartel, Dr. Ren and others.

"Lao Ba, I promised my godmother to protect Brother Zhuang. If he leaves here, I will have no shame to go back..."

Peng Fei, who was hugged by Bartel in the waist, seemed very excited. If it weren't for his less strength than Bartel, Peng Fei would have put Bartel on the ground.

"Feizi, calm down. Zhuang Rui is also our good brother, and he is also Timur's Anda. How can we not worry?"

Bartel's thunderous voice rang in Peng Fei's ears. Seeing that Peng Fei's struggled movements were relieved a little, Bartel continued: "It's not that you won't let you go into the water, but you have to tie a rope down..."

No one knows what the underwater situation is, but Zhuang Rui never returns. Everyone lists this lake as an extremely dangerous place. Bartel knows the relationship between Peng Fei and Zhuang Rui, but he can't watch Peng Fei go to die, right?

Peng Fei took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, bring the rope..."

"Qiqige, bring the rope..."

Seeing Peng Fei calm down, Bartel was overjoyed. The rope was ready-made and had a live buckle. Just tie the rope cover to Peng Fei's waist and tighten it.

"Feizi, don't be stubborn. When you see something wrong below, pull the rope quickly..."

Although Bartel was willing to accompany Peng Fei, the people who live on the grassland were very average in nature, and he knew that if he went down, he would probably become a burden to Peng Fei.

"Peng Fei, if you find Zhuang Rui, you must pull him up quickly..."

Dr. Ren, who was on the side, was extremely weak in his ability to save people. He looked at Peng Fei and said, "He can only hope that Peng Fei can find Zhuang Rui under the water, because if the drowning time is short, it is still very likely that he will be rescued."

"I know..."

Peng Fei nodded, then flipped his wrist and a three-inch crescent-shaped knife appeared in the palm of his hand. After biting the knife in his mouth, Peng Fei jumped into the lake.

This Swan Lake was formed due to changes in the earth's crust. It was not as shallow as ordinary lakes, but was waist-deep as soon as the water was as deep as it was. After two more steps in, Peng Fei immediately felt that his feet were in the air and the lake water had already flooded his head.

The lake water is very clear. Peng Fei who entered the water could clearly see the situation within ten meters around him. After floating on the water surface, he took a deep breath, Peng Fei swam to the place where Zhuang Rui had exposed the water for the last time.

"It's not very deep here?"

Peng Fei found that the place was only a little over two meters. After a careful search, Peng Fei breathed a sigh of relief because he did not find Zhuang Rui's "body".

Peng Fei's diving ability is far less than that of Zhuang Rui. Every three or four minutes, he has to float to the water surface for ventilation. After nearly an hour of tossing, Peng Fei has searched the surrounding waters of thirty or forty meters, but he still has not found any trace of Zhuang Rui.

Seeing Peng Fei lying on the grass as tired as a little dead dog, Bartel said, "Feizi, you have a rest, why don't you wait for me to go down..."

Peng Fei waved his hand and said weakly: "Lao Ba, you can't do it. The water flow at the bottom of the lake is a bit fast. You can't stabilize it when you go down. There are also many water plants underneath. If you are not careful, you will be entangled..."

Peng Fei was telling the truth, because at this moment, his body, which was wearing only a pair of underwear, was surrounded by green water plants everywhere, and even a bunch of water plants were placed on his hair. At first glance, he looked like a legendary water ghost.

Unlike Zhuang Rui who used brute force to pull the aquatic plants off, Peng Fei used that extremely sharp knife to cut the aquatic plants off the first time it wrapped around him.

If this is replaced by Bater, who is less powerful than Zhuang Rui and is less capable than Peng Fei, he may be left at the bottom of the lake and become a wronged soul.

"There is no Brother Zhuang at the bottom of the water, it doesn't seem to be entangled by water plants. I just looked at the hole on the bottom of the water. I took a break and then looked at the direction of the water flow..."

After searching at the bottom of the lake, Peng Fei's mood calmed down a little, because the bottom of the lake covered with water plants could be seen clearly under the direct sunlight at noon, and there was no trace of Zhuang Rui at all, which ruled out the possibility that Zhuang Rui would die by being entangled by water plants.

Although the water flow at the bottom of this lake is a bit turbulent, even Peng Fei can break free, let alone Zhuang Rui, who has more water quality, has several advantages.

In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, Zhuang Rui entered the underwater cave entrance that Peng Fei saw just now. Although life and death are still unknown, it is much better than finding Zhuang Rui's corpse at the bottom of the lake.

If he had just discovered that Zhuang Rui had been killed at the bottom of the lake, then Peng Fei really didn't know how he would deal with himself. He didn't know what face he had to return to Beijing to face Zhuang Rui's relatives.

As for the current situation, if we use the professional terms of adventure, it can only fall into the category of disappearance and cannot be determined as death.

Peng Fei gasped heavily and took the air-dried meat handed over by Bater and started eating. He now needs to replenish his energy before he can get close to the cave entrance at the bottom of the lake for exploration.

...

"Haha, don't waste your quarrels now. Go back and drag Brother Ren in. He will definitely believe that there is an imperial tomb buried here..."

At this time, Zhuang Rui was in a cave more than 30 meters below Bater and others, smiling happily. There was a small pool behind him, and splashing water from time to time, where the entrance and exit connecting the lake outside were connected.

Zhuang Rui's body was like Peng Fei outside, full of green water plants, but Zhuang Rui didn't care about this at all, because after entering the underground river, Zhuang Rui found that this place was better than he thought.

Not to mention anything else, first of all, the existence of air below makes Zhuang Rui feel inexplicably happy, which is something that Zhuang Rui was very worried about before.

After all, the underground river is hidden deep underground and there is no outlet exposed on the ground. If it appears in a vacuum form, it will cause great adverse factors to the subsequent excavation work.

The second thing that made Zhuang Rui happy was that he originally thought that in this underground river, there would be a dark piece of black that could not be seen with his fingers, but when he entered, he found that there was a stone emitting faint fluorescent and covered with moss on the wet rock walls on both sides of the river.

Although the light emitted by this stone is very limited, it can also meet the vision needs of ordinary people. With this faint light, Zhuang Rui did not use spiritual energy, but directly used his eyes to observe the situation at the entrance of the underground river.

This observation made Zhuang Rui more happy because he discovered a situation he had not noticed before, that is... there were obvious traces of human excavation on the rock wall at the entrance and exit of the underground river.

This means that those who dig the secret passage connecting Genghis Khan's Mausoleum in the depths of the underground river did not dig the tunnels that were irritated by the doctors, but were carefully surveyed.

When using spiritual energy to survey outside, Zhuang Rui focused his attention at the exit of the river, but when he first came in, in order to avoid some unknown dangers, he carefully observed the exit.

This made Zhuang Rui discover many valuable things, and the discoveries above are not the most important. The reason why Zhuang Rui forgot the situation outside and the worries of Peng Fei and others was because he found an iron box four or five meters underground from the pool.

The iron box was not buried very deeply, only twenty or thirty centimeters. Due to the humid underground air, the outer skin of the iron box had already rotted and rotted when touched, but the things inside were preserved very well.

This is a box of gold, not the kind of gold bricks, but a flattened golden cake. There are more than 30 pieces in total, each of which is the size of a palm. The words "Borjijin" are printed on it. Obviously... this is specially used by the Mongolian royal family.

With these golden cakes and artificial traces at the exit, Zhuang Rui believed that Dr. Ren would never ask him to return to Beijing again. Compared with any tomb of a Mongolian emperor, the influence brought by Dunhuang documents is negligible.

"These golden cakes must have been reserved by the craftsmen who excavated secret passages. These people were not greedy. They didn't expect to rob Genghis Khan's treasures and actually took such a little gold..." Zhuang Rui could easily guess the origin of these golden cakes.

Golden cakes are easier to carry than gold bricks, and the golden cakes are thinner and can easily melt after being taken out. These skilled craftsmen are not so stupid that they spend money on gold with the word "Borjijin".
