Otherworldly Merchant

“Okay!" Lina answered, hurrying to slow down the submarine and adjusting the outer scope to slowly move back and forth.

Except for Liang Mingli, who was still unconscious, the full compartment stared closely at the screen.

The lens was pitch black and suddenly a sharp stone flashed through.

“Stop! This is it.” Jiang Daqi shouted.

Pike and Fan Chung bowed up slightly, and I stared at the screen.

Behind that stone, there was something hidden, fluctuating, moving up and down.

It's just that that thing is also black, completely integrated with the surrounding river water, and it's extremely difficult for people who don't have particularly good eyes to spot it.

Although the speed of the submarine just now was not fast, the lens was swept away, but it was caught by Jiang Dayi. I have to say, the old man's eyesight is a real thief.

After Lina stopped the submarine, she turned on the machine, and a tubular telescopic robotic arm burst out.

As the robot gets closer, the feedback from the scope gradually becomes clearer!

But seeing a piece of rope hanging on that stone, something tied at the bottom of the rope, as the waves kept rising and falling, and drifting and wandering, it looked like a breaking balloon that had already exploded.

Lina manipulated the clamping robot to lean over, stuck the rope, pulled hard, and pulled out a long one.

The rope hangs on only a small piece of pointy stone, the front and rear ends of which are terribly long, except that most of them are buried by silt gravel, which tumbles beneath, making the already dark surface even more cloudy.

The other end of the rope didn't know what was holding it down. The robot dragged it forcibly for several times and didn't pull it. On the other end, it dragged out more than 20 meters, but it still didn't seem to end...

The rope is extremely thick, about the same diameter as an egg, all dark and bright, with a shattered piece of pieces tethered at close intervals.

It looks very strange.

“It's a water gourd.” Van Chung recognized it first.

I'm not a stranger to the name of water gourd, I just haven't seen the real thing.

This is a grave-theft tool, more precisely, a necessity for the theft of underwater monuments, which is no worse than a Luoyang shovel in terms of importance.

For tomb thieves in the water, it doesn't make much difference whether there is a Luoyang shovel, but whether there is a water gourd is a difference in the sky.

In the past, oxygen was the most common and serious problem in trying to touch gold underwater.

Even if the water quality is better, it has to be drilled out often for ventilation. This kind of entry and exit seem despicable, but it takes a lot of kung fu. And the deeper the water, the more this futility goes. Your full strength is basically used to breathe up and down. What else is left to do?

And then I didn't know who the tall guy was, and I came up with this thing —— a little rope made of oil-soaked hemp, a couple of little ropes made of coarse rope, and then painted it with waterproof black paint. A small airbag wrapped in sheepskin wrapped around the lungs every other distance.

The person who goes into the water wraps one end of the rope around his waist and can always pull the airbag to replenish several breaths of oxygen, avoiding the hassle of having to toss back and forth, as well as many extra effects. For example, people on the water can use ropes to deliver tools and messages, and people under the water can hang small pieces on top of each other.

Grave thieves and shady traders look very different, but some places are penetrating and understanding each other.

The utility of water gourd has long been clear to me, but with the development of technology, the popularity of diving suits and oxygen cylinders, this thing has gradually been eliminated from the historical stage, it has never been seen before.

Van Chong and Jiang Da Fish are all famous water masters, and they are naturally more familiar with this stuff, but Corinna and Pike are a little overwhelmed.

Van Chung turned his head and glanced at Lena without waiting for her to ask. A simple explanation: "This is for underwater grave theft. ”

Jiang Daqi remained silent and stared at the screen with two small eyes.

As the robot continued to pull back, the longer the gourd rope was pulled, only that the airbag was all broken, piecemeal as a rotten cloth, and the other side was still intact.

Soon, one of the gourd ropes was completely pulled out, and a copper-rusted beast loop was attached to it.

This is the one that stays on the shore, and the brass rings are used to tie stone trees, or simply nail them to the ground.

The robot continues to push and pull the other side.

The rope collapsed tightly, slanting down like a wire, straight into the sludge.

The other side seemed extra heavy, and Lina had pushed the lever to the top and still couldn't move a penny.

“Girl, stop it! ”

Jiang Daqi waved: “Stop dragging, we'll go down from here. ”

Lina turned around and looked at Jiang Daqi, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, there are still more than 30 meters from the first white bone we saw on the video. Are you sure you want to go down from here? ”

Jiang Daqi nodded: “It doesn't matter how far away you are. Someone has been here before, and you are still a pedestrian. Otherwise, you will not be able to break the ban at the entrance to run here. ”

“The water gourd is all underwater, which means that he didn't go out at all, but died here, and we need to figure out how he died. Otherwise, we'd be in trouble if we didn't rush through. Get ready to leave the cabin in five minutes. ”

He turned his head and looked at me. “Is Brother Zhang okay? ”

I nodded, “It's okay.” Though I have recovered and am far stronger than I was before I went into the water, I have lowered my voice and breathed a very weak tone.

“That's good.” Jiang Da's yellow little eyes spinned twice fast and said silently.

When the equipment was checked, equipped, and everyone was ready, Liang Mingli woke up without anyone screaming, holding two small hands and reaching for a lazy waist, carrying a large backpack first opened the hatch door and drilled out, Parker followed closely, then me and Jiang Da Fish.

Lina set the submarine in silence and drilled out with Van Chong.

As soon as Liang Mingli left the cabin, an atmospheric bubble appeared in his backpack, wrapped around him, as if he had been set in a crystal ball that had been stripped alive.

Everyone else waved their feet and moved all over. He was the only one who sat comfortably, closed his eyes and couldn't move, as if he were asleep again. That bubble rolls itself forward, easier than anyone else.

“Don't rush in, gather at the gourd rope and find out the exact cause of his death.” Jiang Daqi commanded.
