Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: The Path Underwater
 

None of them wanted to confront everything that was happening.

“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible, huh, wait, that’s not right.”

As he spoke these words, Lin Yi suddenly seemed to realize that something was indeed strange.

“What’s the matter, is there something wrong?”

“We’ve basically covered the entire cave, so why didn’t we see that so-called monkey-faced pig after entering? Where are they hiding?”

Right, everyone had been focused on making their way through and paying attention to the dangers around, yet this point had been completely overlooked.

“Exactly, could it be that this isn’t their lair? No, that doesn’t make sense, this should be their lair.”

“Then it’s strange, where are these creatures? Could it be that they can ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth?”

“Ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth? That’s unlikely, but there could be another possibility.”

The hunter seemed to have thought of something suddenly.

Following his gaze, he looked over and found that the hunter’s eyes were fixed on the river’s surface.

“Are you suggesting that they might be in the water?”

“It might not be that they live in the water, but I have a feeling that there is another way out inside this water.”

“Another way out?”

“Yes, remember what I told you earlier? We’re going in the opposite direction, and while we think we’re ascending, we’re actually descending, right?”

“That’s correct, so if we follow this logic, by entering the river, we should be going deeper, but it’s very likely that we could come out through this river.”

“Right, this river could only be another plane. If we follow it down, I believe we could find another exit beneath that will lead us out of this cave.”

“So there’s another possibility, which means that the monkey-faced pig might live in another space within this water?”

“It should be like this.”

“Well then, it looks like we just need to go into the water to find out if all of this is true.”

“But the key question remains, is there any danger in the water? And what kind of danger could there be? All of this is an unknown factor.”

“From what I know, if the monkey-faced pigs really use this place as a frequent passage, then there might not necessarily be any danger nearby. Perhaps, this part of the river is the safest.”

The hunter’s words seemed to awaken everyone.

“Big brother, let’s not talk anymore, I’m the best swimmer here, let me go down and check it out first.”

Hei Lang volunteered and stood up.

However, Lin Yi was still somewhat apprehensive. After all, he didn’t know what he might encounter below.

If it were above ground, with so many people helping to devise plans, they might be able to cleverly avert the danger.

But now, facing this situation, he felt it was a bit tricky.

“Hei Lang, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but going down there alone in this environment, I’m indeed worried.”

“Big brother, what’s there to worry about? Do you want to go down instead? Do you think you’re a better swimmer than I am?”

What Hei Lang said was the truth; Lin Yi couldn’t compare to Hei Lang in that regard.

Hei Lang had received some professional dive training, so for him, the stillness of the water, moreover being quite placid, shouldn’t pose a problem.

“But I don’t know the situation below. What if something unexpected happens? Can you handle it alone?”

“Ah, don’t worry about it. We also have communication equipment down there. If I encounter any danger, you’ll pull me back up using the rope, can’t you?”

“That’s a plan, but the key issue is…”

“Big brother, don’t hesitate anymore. Otherwise, you might as well not send me down, and we’ll just wait here for three days and nights. Then we’ll make a decision. Do you think that’s a good idea?”

Hei Lang was using reverse psychology again.

Because everyone, especially Lin Yi, was clear that waiting here endlessly wouldn’t lead to any results and might only bring endless danger and disaster to them all.

“Older brother, what do you think?”

He sought the hunter’s opinion once again.

“I think his plan is worth a try, and as of now, it’s the only one we have. He looks quite strong; he should be able to cope. Moreover, under such a calm water surface, there shouldn’t be too much danger lurking.”

“Alright, if that’s the case, Hei Lang, make preparations swiftly. Remember everyone, if you find you can’t hold on anymore, you must retreat immediately. Got it?”

“Don’t worry big brother, I know what to do.”@@novelbin@@

Hei Lang spoke while taking his professional equipment out of his pack and, lastly, tied a thick rope around his waist.

“Big brother, leave this thing here. If I encounter any danger, I’ll press the transmitter inside, and the red light will come on here. Then you just pull the rope tightly and drag me back, alright?”

“Okay, no problem.”

He nodded his head, then whispered a few more words of caution into Hei Lang’s ear. Finally, with a dive, Hei Lang plunged into the river.

“Your brother here has really helped you a lot, hasn’t he?”

After Hei Lang entered the water, the hunter turned back to Lin Yi and said.

“That’s true, he has helped me a lot, and indeed, he is a very valuable person beside me. Older brother, tell me the truth, how dangerous is it in there really?”

The reason he hadn’t discussed much with Hei Lang was that he didn’t want to burden him with too much to think about.

“Honestly, it’s fifty-fifty.”

“Older brother, what do you mean by fifty-fifty? Didn’t you just say that under such a calm surface, there shouldn’t be too much danger?”

“Well, that was just a figure of speech.”

“He’s already gone down; there’s no point in saying these things now, and among the four of us, who do you think is up to the task, you or me?”
