Thinking of this, Chu Tian glanced at Xu Duoduo subtly.
But he didn't say anything, and followed the Night Li Cat out of the house.
By this time, the sky was already a little dim.
Chu Tian checked the time, it was already past four in the morning.
He didn't expect to have stayed in the mountain for so long.
He remembered it was only a little past one when he first entered.
The group followed the Li Cat to the entrance of the village.
At this moment, the sun had just shown a corner, and a ray of sunlight shone down.
"Owooooo..."
The Night Li Cat let out a scream and covered its eyes with its paws.
Its eyes seemed to be particularly afraid of the sun's rays.
Seeing it retreat two steps quickly, it hid in the shade under the house.
Then it raised its paw and pointed to the unfinished ancient well.
"You want us to go down the well?" Chu Tian asked.
The Night Li Cat nodded and turned to run into the village. Chu Tian knew it must be going back into the mountain.
Looking at its running posture, Chu Tian guessed: the sunlight outside was about to rise, and its eyes should not be adapted to such strong light.
Because the originally swift Night Li Cat was now like a headless fly, crashing into a wooden stake.
The crowd came to the well and could only see that it was full of accumulated water below, and they didn't know how deep it was.
"You three go down! Ye Ling is too weak, I'll stay with her and rest up here!"
"Alright!" Chu Tian stared into the well, not looking up, and replied.
The well opening was not very large, and it became thicker as it went down, forming a slanted surface.
If one were to go down without a rope, it would probably be difficult to come up.
Zhao Lei, at this moment, tied a stone to a rope and threw it down.
When he felt the stone had reached the bottom, he pulled it up and looked at the water stains on the rope.
He said, "The water is over three meters deep!"
"I'll go down and take a look first!" Jing Kaiyu had already taken off his shirt and tied a rope around himself.
When Zhao Lei reached out to take it, Jing Kaiyu dodged his extended hand and handed the other end of the rope to Gao Kai.
"Damn it... what do you mean?" Zhao Lei said.
"You are not reliable!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
It was a creature with an exoskeleton, and what surprised them was not anything else.
It was the shape of a ghost's head on the creature's back.
Exactly the same as the one on Ye Ling's back.
It was about the size of two coins in total.
It had countless claws on its abdomen, a bit like a mantis shrimp.
But it had more claws than a mantis shrimp.
"There are many corpses of this thing below, and it's very cold!" Jing Kaiyu said, shivering as he wiped his body.
Ye Ling walked over at some point and looked at the thing, saying, "This should be the thing inside me."
Her expression was not good. Anyone would be uncomfortable if they had such a disgusting thing inside them.
Jing Kaiyu had already changed into a diving suit at this time.
The high-density thermal diving suit made him stop shivering. He said, "There is an outlet below that can allow a person to pass through.
It should be the spring eye drilled by the drilling machine. I originally planned to go down and take a look when I found this thing in the mud.
And there are quite a few of them. I don't know how they died. It's too cold down there. I'll change clothes and go down again to explore where that spring eye leads."
As he spoke, he was about to tie on the safety rope.
Chu Tian grabbed him, "It's not safe for you to go down alone, let's go together!"
As he spoke, he took out a diving suit and a very small oxygen tank from his backpack.
"How long can this thing last?" Chu Tian asked.
"You can use it for about 15 minutes! I can use it for half an hour!" Jing Kaiyu said.
Chu Tian nodded and said, "When we go down later, no matter if the spring eye has reached the end or not, we have to return when the oxygen is half used. Don't push yourself."
He said this while looking at Jing Kaiyu.
Jing Kaiyu smiled and nodded.
Everyone prepared to change their clothes, and Ye Ling returned to the village entrance.
Xu Duoduo stayed in the shade of the house, watching them.
After a few days, they knew that she was not afraid of the sun, just disliked it a little.
Chu Tian, carrying his backpack, sat on a wooden log closest to the well to change into his diving suit.
However, he quietly threw the set of ropes in his bag into the well.
