Chapter 2318 Underground

At the same time as Liu Lang spoke, the black shadow in the well water flashed away.

"Fish?" Xiaoqiang frowned and said subconsciously. He also saw the swimming black shadow, but with his knowledge, he couldn't think of anything too bizarre.

"It can't be a fish."

Liu Lang shook his head.

The speed of that black shadow was really too fast, with his eyesight of refining Qi, he couldn't catch it, how could it be an ordinary swimming fish.

"It's not a fish, so what could it be?" Xiaoqiang looked blank.

"Go down to the well and have a look. You'll know. You wait here." Liu Lang raised his eyebrows, and his intuition told him that the poison the villagers suffered must have something to do with the dark shadows in the well.

"I'll go down with you. I'm good at swimming." Compared with Liu Lang, Xiaoqiang's desire to save others is more urgent. After all, he has survived to this day relying on the charity of the villagers. Those poisoned villagers are his relatives.

"Also."

Liu Lang nodded. Xiaoqiang is a cultivator at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. Even if he can't swim, he can't drown. What's more, his defense is amazing, and he might be able to help him at critical moments.

The next moment, Liu Lang jumped straight into the well.

Xiaoqiang followed closely behind.

"Why is the water so cold?" Liu Lang has a dragon ball on his body. However, the dragon ball belongs to the Three Realms. When he arrived in Chengtian Continent, the function of avoiding water was greatly weakened.

It was inevitable that Liu Lang would have close contact with the well water.

And even though he was in the Qi Refining Realm, he felt a bone-chilling chill.

"According to the old people, when the village was established here, it was because of this ancient well, but for some reason, since more than 20 years ago, the water in the well has become colder and colder. It takes a day or two before you can drink it."

Xiaoqiang introduced.

The peak of the Body Tempering Realm has mastered the method of exchanging breath, and it does not affect communication in the water.

"Twenty years ago..."

Liu Lang looked Xiaoqiang up and down, "20 years specifically?"

"Twenty-four years." Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and added, "It was the year I was born."

"The year I was born." Liu Lang was thoughtful. The reason why he asked, specifically twenty years, was because Xiaoqiang was also in his twenties. Is it a coincidence that Xiaoqiang was born and the well water changed, or is there some kind of strangeness? Known relationship?

Obviously, it is impossible to get an answer to this kind of thing by pure speculation.

"Let's go down." Liu Lang took a deep breath and said to Xiaoqiang.

The black shadow before must have gone down to the bottom of the well and floated on the water, and there was no clue at all.

The two slowly dived underwater.

At the beginning, the water in the well was clear, and the vision was not bad, but the further you went down, the more blurred your vision became. Moreover, even after diving dozens of meters into such a seemingly ordinary well, it failed to reach the bottom.

At this time, I can't see my fingers.

"How about we go up?" The darkness breeds fear, Xiao Qiang tugged Liu Lang's arm and said.

"You don't want to save those villagers anymore?" Liu Lang asked back.

"Save, of course I'll be saved." Xiaoqiang stabilized his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue, I won't believe it to the end."

Originally, he didn't think there was a dark shadow in the well, what was abnormal, it wasn't a fish, maybe it could be a frog, a snake, after all? There were all kinds of possibilities, but as the well went deeper and deeper, the well water became darker and darker. , Xiaoqiang finally realized that there was something wrong with this well.

"Hold on to me."

Liu Lang told Xiaoqiang to continue diving.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

Liu Lang silently calculated the depth. When he dived to about 500 meters, the temperature of the well water had dropped to a level that even he, a Qi Refining practitioner, could not bear.

Liu Lang could clearly feel his body slowly becoming stiff.

"Can you still persist?" Liu Lang asked Xiaoqiang in the dark.

"Yes." Xiaoqiang replied concisely.

However, Xiaoqiang's hand has been tugging on Liu Lang's arm. Judging from the touch, Xiaoqiang is already at the end of his strength.

"Then let's try again,

If you can't hold on, just talk. "They are saving people, not sacrificing themselves to save others. Under the premise that everything is safe, they can't put themselves in it.

Still unable to touch the bottom of the well, and unable to feel the dark shadow that disappeared before, Liu Lang felt withdrawn.

"Understood." Xiaoqiang nodded. Just as he nodded, Xiaoqiang just looked at his feet.

"There is light below!" After being startled for a while, Xiaoqiang exclaimed in surprise.

"Is there light?" Liu Lang looked down, and sure enough, not far from his feet, there was a faint light flickering in the well water. The long-lost light lifted Liu Lang's spirit.

And with the appearance of that ray of light, the temperature of the well water seemed to start to rise.

Liu Lang and Xiaoqiang accelerated to swim towards the light.

The closer the distance to the bright place, the higher the water temperature, and the stiff bodies of the two quickly returned to normal.

Finally, after diving about 50 meters again, the two of them came to the light.

"this……"

At first they thought it was infinitely bright, but when they really got close, they realized that it was just a flame the size of a finger belly. Above the flame, there was a pitch-black patch, and under the flame, there was an equally pitch-black patch.

"Can fire still be in water?"

With the help of the faint firelight, Xiaoqiang looked at Liu Lang and asked suspiciously.

This is completely beyond his cognition.

But Liu Lang was not surprised.

"Ordinary fire is definitely not enough, but some unusual fires can be done." Liu Lang murmured, staring at the flame floating in the water.

There are many kinds of fire in the world. As a magician, Liu Lang is familiar with all kinds of different fires. Obviously, the fire in front of him is not an ordinary fire, but what is the meaning of standing in the depths of the ancient well?

Liu Lang subconsciously reached out and touched the flame.

There is no high temperature as imagined, the only thing that can be felt is a sense of warmth.

"boom……"

But the moment Liu Lang's fingertips touched the flame, the dim flame suddenly flickered, and in an instant, it evolved into a huge red vortex.

Before Liu Lang and Xiaoqiang could react, they were sucked into the vortex.

The two figures quickly disappeared, and the huge vortex gradually quieted down, turning smaller and smaller, and finally, it turned back into that inconspicuous little flame, hanging quietly in the icy cold deep well. Among them, the warmth that belongs to him is exuded.

"Plop, plop..."

After a whirlwind, Liu Lang and Xiaoqiang's bodies fell heavily to the ground.

It took a long time for Liu Lang to regain consciousness and struggled to get up, but Xiaoqiang, who had threatened that he would not be injured, had a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and was still in a coma.

"Wake up, wake up!" Liu Lang walked over and patted Xiaoqiang's face.

"It hurts me to death." Xiaoqiang shuddered, grinning and opened his eyes.

"It's fine." Liu Lang let out a long breath before he had time to observe the surrounding situation.
