Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints

Chapter 571 - Under The Abyss

And where did this terrifying scream come from?

As time passed, Klein and Gray both smelled a burnt aroma.

The octopus was indeed very delicious seafood. Although the monster in front of them had leveled up and looked very scary, it was still delicious after being roasted...

But it was still delicious after being roasted...

Klein and Gray were indeed not in the mood to have a good meal. They kicked the burnt octopus down.

After a long while, they heard a loud thud. It was obvious that there was still some distance between this place and the bottom of the sound source.

Klein frowned slightly and began to worry about James' safety again.

Gray reached out and patted Klein's shoulder. "Don't worry. There's always a blessing in disguise. I believe that James will definitely be fine. If we really can't find him in the fog, I feel that his location is very likely under the abyss..."

But James might not have fallen. He might have been caught by the octopus.

This gave Klein great hope.

But there was a very serious problem at the moment. In front of the two of them, the bottomless abyss was bottomless. How could they go down to save him?

In fact, the two of them weren't sure if James was down there. Even without the octopus's help, they couldn't go down at all. Recently, they seem to have fallen into an endless cycle. Should they save him or not?

The octopus originally lived in the water, so its climbing ability was very strong. It could freely come and go from such a deep abyss.

However, it was different for humans. All of their organs had completely degraded.

Other than having a highly developed mind, nothing else could be compared to animals. These things were born with an indescribable spirituality.

Klein's eyes lit up when he thought of this. 'That's right, the octopus lives in the water!'

Although the thump just now was very soft, it didn't seem like it had fallen to the ground. It seemed like it had fallen into the water!

Klein reached out and grabbed Gray's shoulder.

"There should be a pool of water down there. They live in the water. If that's the case, even if James fell, the chances of him being alive are very high. No matter what, the two of us have to go down and save him!"

Gray blinked his eyes. He felt that Klein had already made up his mind. Naturally, he would risk his life to accompany a gentleman.

"Then, how are the two of us going to go down?"

"It's very simple. We'll just jump down!"

Upon hearing Klein's words, Gray's eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect that this fellow would put his life on the line.

Indeed, the bottomless abyss was imaginable in length. Even if he had something or other useful tools, it was impossible to reach such a deep place.

Moreover, this place was barren. Other than the thick fog, there was nothing else. Even if the soil was loose, one would not be able to use it.

Under such circumstances, one could not use any tools. The only feasible method was to jump!

"But I know that this would be very dangerous, so I will try to jump first. If there are no problems, then I will say hello. If you hear no movement for a long time, then you must not go down again. Quickly find the exit and leave this place. This place is really dangerous..."

Although he felt sorry for his mother, there was nothing he could do under such extreme circumstances.

Gray's eyes widened. "How can I let you take the risk alone? Since the two of us came together. Let's act together. I'll go down with you!"

He didn't expect Gray to be so loyal. This made Klein feel very touched, but under such circumstances, it was best for someone to go down and probe first.

Having made up his mind that he couldn't change his mind, Klein came to the front of the abyss. The feeling of not being able to see the end of the abyss was too terrible.

Klein could even imagine that he had just exited a white fog when he suddenly entered a pitch-black passageway.

Klein suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Fortunately, the true fire in his hand could still be used to illuminate. After making sufficient preparations, Klein took a deep breath and jumped down!

He felt that his body was weightless during the process of falling.

As the resistance increased, Klein felt his body falling slower and slower. He even felt that he was floating in mid-air before finally falling into a bone-chilling pool of water.

He felt that his entire body was in unbearable pain from the impact of the water's surface.

This was a common-sense problem. Even if he fell from a high altitude and entered the water's surface, the toughness of the water's surface was considerable.

The moment he fell into the water, Klein felt the sweet and fishy water rush into his throat. He wanted to spit it out, but it was too late.

The taste was difficult to describe in a few words. Klein even wanted to find a place to throw up after coming ashore to relieve his extreme nausea.

The moment he fell into the water, his body rapidly sank down. Following that, he slowly rose up due to the buoyancy of the water.

As the lake water was relatively high in salt, it had a high buoyancy, and Klein was instantly pulled up.

The moment his head left the water's surface, he began gasping for air.

It was indeed a bit risky to do so. Klein sighed softly, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally at ease.

Reality proved that there wasn't much danger in directly jumping down. If he was a better swimmer, he could even do a fancy jump.

However, there was one thing. The air beneath the abyss seemed to be very thin, and there was even a lack of oxygen.

Klein had to maintain his breathing so that he wouldn't feel suffocated anymore.

After coming out of the water, Klein wrung the water on his clothes and realized that not only were many things on his clothes soaked, they seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the lake with the impact.

At that moment, he realized that the situation around him was much better than he had imagined.

Although it was indeed dark from above, the visibility below was still decent.

Even without using any special tools, he could still see clearly.

And the reason for this situation was that there was a magical stone inlaid on the wall of the space below.

The stone could actually emit light.

Klein could tell at a glance that it was the legendary zircon.

It was said that stones were one of the mainstream gemstones of the era. Although they didn't have all sorts of attributes and skills like other gemstones, they could even be inlaid on weapons.

However, this type of zircon was different. It had only one use, and that was to illuminate.

It was like a night pearl from the South China Sea, which could normally shine in the dark.

Since it had its own lighting tools, it meant that this place was probably inhabited.

Because zircon couldn't grow naturally in stone walls, it was a very rare mineral that could only be obtained by manual mining.
