Chapter 491
“Big Brother, let me take a look!”
Da Huang didn’t transform into The Lion King. He was short, so he had to walk to the edge of the pool and look down. When he looked at the bottom of the pool, his black eyes turned golden. They were exactly the same as when he transformed into The Lion King.
After observing for a brief moment, Big Yellow’s eyes turned black again. It looked up at Xiao Chen and asked him through voice transmission, “Big Brother, I didn’t see a single river monster in the pool. Did they flow down to the big river?
There is a huge crack at the bottom of the pool. It’s about three hundred feet long and ten feet wide, and water is constantly coming out of it. ”
“Not a single river monster?”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was very surprised. He thought there must be countless river monsters in the pool. If the river monsters really came out from the crack at the bottom of the pool, then the river monsters must have swum from the lower part of the pool to the stream to look for food, or they must have found someone approaching the pool and hid in the crack.
Da Niu saw that Xiao Chen was silent. After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Mister Xiao, what’s the situation?
Are there many river monsters in the pool? ”
“Not a single one,” Xiao Chen said bluntly.
“What?
Not a single one?
How is that possible? ”
Da Niu and Er Hound said at the same time. Their expressions were full of disbelief. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They couldn’t accept this situation.
“That’s the situation.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently. He didn’t say anything else and started to think about what to do next. Should he leave now?
Or should he go down and explore the pool?
If he was brave enough, he could try to enter the crack at the bottom of the pool. However, he didn’t know how dangerous it was. After he entered, he might not be able to come out.
Da Niu and Er Hound saw that Xiao Chen was thinking alone again. They knew they couldn’t help Xiao Chen, so they sat on the grass to rest. Maybe something would happen in the pool later. They needed the strength to escape if they wanted to live. Xiao Chen couldn’t protect them all the time.
Da Huang understood Xiao Chen’s complicated feelings, so he volunteered, “Big Brother, why don’t I go down and explore?
A few water monsters can’t hurt me! ”
“Err … Okay, if you feel danger, don’t force yourself. Run away immediately, okay?”
Xiao Chen had wanted to go down and investigate on his own, but now that Goldy had volunteered, he hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
Xiao Chen didn’t plan to go down with Da Huang, because Dongfang Qingwu was a weak girl. She needed either him or Da Huang to protect her. He didn’t feel safe leaving Dongfang Qingwu in the hands of two uncles he wasn’t familiar with. If something went wrong, it would be too late to regret.
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m not an idiot!
Quack!
I’m going down! ”
Da Huang gave Xiao Chen a reassuring look. He didn’t transform into The Lion King. Instead, he jumped into the water and quickly dove to the bottom of the pool.
“So urgent?”
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. He sent a message to Da Huang, “Da Huang, don’t be careless. You’d better transform into The Lion King.”
“Got it, Big Brother. I’ll transform if there’s a situation. Now I’m going to do some secret scouting. It’s not easy to be discovered by unknown beings if I’m small.” Da Huang replied and didn’t say anything else. He sped up and swam to the big crack at the bottom of the pool.
Although Da Huang wasn’t good at swimming, he was strong enough to hold his breath for two hours. In addition, with his strength, he could absorb some oxygen from the water. Therefore, it was impossible to drown Da Huang.
A depth of a hundred feet was horribly deep for mortals, but for Da Huang, it was a depth that could be easily reached. In less than half an incense stick of time, Da Huang had reached the edge of the big crack in the pool of the valley. He sensed for a while and didn’t feel any danger, so he dove into the big crack.
Xiao Chen was actually a little worried about Da Huang’s safety. Therefore, when Da Huang dove into the big crack, he couldn’t help but send a message to Da Huang, “Da Huang, where are you now?
Did you find anything special? ”
“Big Brother, I’m fine. There’s only an underground river under the big crack. I haven’t found any river monsters yet. I’m swimming upstream because I suddenly have a strange feeling that there’s something strange in front of me.” Da Huang responded to Xiao Chen’s message.
“Something strange?”
Xiao Chen was relieved when he heard Da Huang’s message. However, when he heard Da Huang say that he felt something strange, he became worried again. He immediately sent a serious message to Da Huang, “Da Huang, listen to Big Brother. Once you feel danger, retreat immediately!
Got it?
“Rest in peace!
Big Brother, wait for my good news!
Who knows, we might even obtain a peerless treasure this time, hehe! “Big Yellow responded at the end, then it stopped transmitting its voice to the young fellow.
“Peerless treasure?
It’s not that easy to get. ”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned when he heard Da Huang’s last message. He then muttered disapprovingly. He couldn’t go down, so he could only stand there and wait.
Dongfang Qing Wu heard Xiao Chen’s muttering. She knew that Xiao Chen and Da Huang were communicating, so she didn’t say anything to interrupt them. When she saw Xiao Chen looking at her, she pulled Xiao Chen’s left hand and asked worriedly, “Big Brother Xiao, what’s the situation down there?
Is Da Huang in danger? ”
“I don’t know. Let’s wait and see. Da Huang has entered the big crack. I hope he can come back safely.” Xiao Chen rubbed Dongfang Qing Wu’s soft hair with his right hand and answered worriedly.
Er Gou was shocked when he heard that Da Huang had entered the big crack in the pool. He said with admiration, “Da Huang has entered the big crack. How brave he is!”
“Da Huang is not only brave but also powerful. You’re also brave. Why don’t you try going into the water? You don’t have the guts, do you?
Da Huang is the powerful The Lion King. The powerful river monster in our eyes is just a chicken in his eyes … “Da Niu seemed to like bickering with Er Gou.
Da Niu seemed to enjoy bickering with Er Gou. He had seen Da Niu’s true form before, so he naturally had the right to show off. However, when he saw the worry in Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu’s eyes, he immediately shut up, for fear of upsetting Xiao Chen.
The scene became quiet for a while, and there was a slight sense of depression. Obviously, everyone was worried about Da Huang’s safety. Although Da Huang was powerful, there might be unknown dangers in the big crack. The unknown always made people feel an inexplicable fear. This was a human weakness and unavoidable.
Time crawled like a snail. Xiao Chen and the others waited for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. It felt like they had waited for a whole day. The worry in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
Xiao Chen tried to communicate with Da Huang through telepathy, but it didn’t work. Obviously, the distance between them was more than one kilometer. Xiao Chen was extremely worried that Da Huang had swum such a long distance. Xiao Chen had decided to wait for an hour. If he still couldn’t contact Da Huang, he would go down to look for Da Huang.
An hour passed, but Da Huang hadn’t come back, nor could he contact Da Huang. Xiao Chen had a bad feeling. He couldn’t wait any longer, so he said to Dongfang Qing Wu, “Qingwu, something might have happened to Da Huang. I have to go down to look for him. Wait for me up there!”
“Brother Xiao … be careful!
Promise Qingwu that you will come back, and you must find Da Huang! ”
Dongfang Qing Wu knew that Xiao Chen would definitely go to look for Da Huang. If she were in his shoes, she would do the same. Therefore, she didn’t stop Xiao Chen. She just told Xiao Chen to be careful like a wife.
