Lie Zikong showed great interest in adventurous things. He took off his coat, tied a rope around his waist, and jumped into the water.

A corpse lying in the water can open his eyes and see. At the bottom of the lake, which is 5 meters deep, the light is still bright. The entrance of the hole seen on the surface of the water can be seen extremely clearly at the bottom of the lake.

The entrance of the cave was about two meters high and two meters wide, and it was dark inside.

Lie Zikong was a little nervous and shrank his hands and feet.

"What could be inside the black hole?" Lying Zikong said to himself.

Lie Zikong hesitated at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and finally did not dare to enter the cave entrance. He tugged on the rope to get up, and the junior brothers on the bamboo raft pulled Lie Zikong up.

"We need lighting. It's too dark in the cave under the lake and we can't see clearly at all." Lying Zikong found an excuse.

An Linyuan received the feedback information from the treasure place.

"Ordinary people really don't dare to enter underwater caves to explore. Not only lighting, but also how to maintain breathing must be considered before venturing." An Linyuan considered.

"For lighting problems, just use luminous pearls. There are 3 luminous pearls in the cottage. Although they are a bit small, using 3 luminous pearls at the same time can still produce a little light."

"How to solve the breathing problem?" An Linyuan thought for a long time.

An Linyuan summoned the fishermen of Yuntian Village, and more than a dozen fishing families offered suggestions. One fisherman said:

"I rely on holding my breath. An ordinary person can hold his breath in the water for 2 minutes, but I can hold it for 5 minutes."

"I can only hold water for about 4 minutes, but when I need to dive for a long time, I will bring a skin bag with me. When I need to breathe underwater, I will breathe in the fresh air in the skin bag. I can usually breathe underwater.

Two breaths. You can stay underwater for about 10 minutes in total."

"If the water is not deep, I will use a hollowed-out bamboo pole so that I can stay in the water for a long time."

An Linyuan had a deeper understanding of the proverb "Three cobblers make one Zhuge Liang".

An Linyuan already has a good idea.

First, order people to make 10 whole sheep skin bags, and then send people to the village to deliver 3 luminous pearls as quickly as possible.

When the luminous pearl was delivered, the sheepskin bag was also made.

An Linyuan sent the fisherman who used the skin bag to breathe underwater to Lai Xikong. At the same time, the sheepskin bag made of whole sheepskin and the luminous pearl were also given to Lai Xikong for use.

Lie Zikong arranged for a small Five Elements Formation member to go into the water with five fishermen from Yuntian Village to explore. Two other members of the Small Five Elements Formation were on the bamboo raft.

The corpses were arranged properly, with three small Five Elements Formation members holding luminous pearls walking in the front, middle and back positions. Each person had a rope tied to a sheepskin bag tied around his waist, dragging the sheepskin bag and a bag weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

Ballast stone.

In order to prevent the air in the sheepskin bag from being sucked out and the ballast stones dragging down the team's exploration, Lie Zukong ordered everyone to consume one sheepskin bag one by one. All the exploration team members first sucked out the air in one sheepskin bag, and then sucked the next one.

.Discard the sheepskin bag that has absorbed all the air.

Li Xikong calculated: "I can maintain my breathing for about 30 minutes. I can walk into the cave for 15 minutes and then turn around and come back."

The expedition team moved slowly through the cave. The walls of the cave were smooth.

Suddenly, a sound of water came from the cave. Lying dead in the air, he was holding his breath. He was so nervous that he almost couldn't hold his breath.

"Is it a water monster?" Everyone probably thought so at this time.

As the source of the water sound approached the aperture emitted by the luminous pearl, it turned out to be several eels.

This eel is half a meter long and as thick as two thumbs. They must have been disturbed by people exploring the cave. They quickly swam away from the crowd and fled out of the cave in panic.

Everyone gave up on the false alarm and moved on.

The cave obviously extended downwards, and in 15 minutes, the corpse only walked more than 100 meters. It was still a cave passage, and there was no trace of the storage room.

The first exploration yielded nothing. The results were reported to An Linyuan.

"Remake the skin bag. Make it based on the amount of fresh air each skin bag can carry for one breath. Discard it directly after breathing."

"While making the skin bag, train the team members who go into the water. Finally, select the three people who can hold their breath underwater the longest, and each of them will take a luminous pearl and enter the cave to investigate."

A few days later, those who could hold their breath underwater for about 5 minutes were equipped with night beads and skin bags for underwater breathing and set off again.

The first hundred meters or so of the cave had already been explored, so it only took less than 5 minutes for everyone to reach the end of the first expedition.

The cave continues to extend downward. The direction of extension is still towards the center of the lake.

Suddenly the first team member started to panic and hurriedly retreated. The second expedition team member felt the danger and also hurriedly retreated. The last team member saw the two people in front of him and wanted to escape.

, didn’t see clearly what was going on, so he immediately turned around and ran back.

When the last team member was escaping, he heard what sounded like screams coming from the water. Since people cannot speak in the water, no sound can be heard, but the vibrations caused by struggling and throats can be transmitted in the form of water waves.

"That feeling is so terrifying!" The last member of the team, who was in despair, said his first words on the bamboo raft after escaping to heaven.

The second exploration failed.

An Linyuan has pacified all the original residents of Yuntian Village. People from the copycat village have begun to board Yuntian Village one after another.

The first thing An Linyuan did was to replenish the members of the Small Five Elements Formation. All reserve members were converted into official members of the Small Five Elements Formation. 60 Small Five Elements Formations were re-established.

As a large number of people came to Yuntianzhai, the supply of coins began to become tight.

"The treasure must be excavated, otherwise how can the circulation problem of tens of thousands of people's output be solved? After the base camp is developed, how will business with the outside world be carried out?"

An Linyuan formulated a barter transaction method. Rice was used as the anchor, and other items were priced in units of rice. An iron hoe was priced at 50 kilograms of rice; a bamboo basket was priced at 10 kilograms of rice;… …etc.

wait.

Li Xikong led two small members of the Five Elements Formation to start an arduous breath-holding exercise. The failure of two expeditions could not diminish Li Xikong's confidence in treasure hunting.

Finally, Lying Dead was able to hold his breath underwater for 10 minutes. The application for the third treasure hunt was sent to An Linyuan's desk where he was handling affairs in the village.

An Linyuan dug three feet into the ground inside the house of the original village owner of Yuntian Village, digging over and over several times. He wanted to find out the mystery of how the original village owner entered the treasure house.
