With the hole plugged, the water inside finally returned to calm.
Lu Yuan turned on the headlamp on his diving suit and all the lights on his body, instantly illuminating the cave entrance.
He first observed the area near the cave entrance to make sure there were no sharp objects, and then immediately swam forward.
Lu Yuan carried three oxygen tanks with him this time, because if he wanted to enter the dimensional space, his dimensional crystal necklace might be washed away.
Therefore, to prevent any accidents, Lu Yuan had to tie the oxygen cylinder and the dimensional crystal necklace together, making it easier for the team members outside to spot them.
Moving forward little by little, Lu Yuan felt that the location of the pit was constantly rising. The path he came from was now completely under his feet. The higher he went, the greater the angle of the pit entrance became, until it eventually reached a ninety-degree angle.
Lu Yuan is currently about fifty meters away from the cave entrance. He keeps swinging his flippers and swimming upwards. The higher he goes, the wider the cave entrance becomes.
Finally, Lu Yuan looked up and shone his light. Suddenly, he felt a fluctuation in the water temperature above him. His heart skipped a beat because this phenomenon meant that the water surface was probably just a few dozen meters above.
So Lu Yuan quickly swam upwards, his flippers swaying rapidly. Suddenly, he sensed a dangerous aura approaching.
He shone his powerful flashlight around the underwater area and saw that the dark bottom was calm, but he had a feeling that a dangerous creature was lurking nearby, watching him.
Lu Yuan dared not be careless and swam upwards along the edge of the cave entrance. Suddenly, he felt a ripple in the water nearby, and he quickly looked in the direction of the ripple.
However, at that moment, a larger current of water suddenly surged out from a distance, and Lu Yuan's body was swept to the side and flew several meters away. Then he saw a huge fish appear at the bottom of the water.
This enormous fish is over ten meters long, with a gaping maw filled with chilling teeth that send shivers down your spine.
It was completely black, without any scales, except for its two huge eyes that gleamed coldly under the light. As soon as it charged at him, Lu Yuan immediately began to swim upwards.
However, the giant fish was too fast, and Lu Yuan was unable to swim too fast at all. In addition, the eddies in the groundwater were very strong at the moment. In desperation, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the diving suit he had designed, which had an automatic inflation device.
Once the inflation device is turned on, a swimming ring-like object will pop out immediately, allowing him to quickly leave the water.
Without a second thought, Lu Yuan pulled the cord around his waist. Then, with a chemical reaction, the chemicals in the airbags mixed together and immediately produced countless gases, filling all the airbags on his body.
The next second, Lu Yuan shot straight up towards the surface of the water like a rocket.
The giant fish was moving too fast and couldn't react in time, crashing into the rock wall. Lu Yuan felt as if the earth was shaking and rocks were falling from above.
Lu Yuan has no control over his speed at all; he can only let the airbags carry him to the surface of the water.
Finally, after Lu Yuan's body floated to the surface of the water, he could see clearly that it was a huge cave. The edges of the cave were covered with all kinds of colorful stalactites, while the place where he was was a pool of water hundreds of meters in diameter.
At this moment, the giant fish below seemed to have spotted Lu Yuan's location. It quickly adjusted its body and charged towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan dared not be careless. He quickly shifted his feet and lunged towards the shore.
However, Lu Yuan's speed was no match for the giant fish. He tried his best to swing his legs, but he still couldn't escape quickly enough.
As the giant fish grew faster and faster, Lu Yuan's heart sank. The next second, his consciousness appeared on the surface of the sea in the dimensional space. Then, with a thought, a giant beast hundreds of meters long suddenly appeared in the water.
The behemoth sensed that the giant fish was attacking Lu Yuan, and immediately opened its blood-red maw. Before the giant fish could react, it had already become the behemoth's food.
Lu Yuan finally calmed down. He gasped for breath, then reached out and patted the giant beast's head before slowing down and swimming towards the shore.
Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed a flame flickering in the cave entrance. Upon seeing the light, Lu Yuan instinctively assumed it was Xiwen.
So he quickly shouted loudly towards the cave entrance, "Xiwen, is that you?"
Lu Yuan's voice was loud and carried back and forth in the enclosed cave. After a short while, a faint voice seemed to come from afar.
The other person's voice was tinged with surprise. Before Lu Yuan could hear any other voice, he saw the firelight in the distance being partially obscured by a figure. Then, a man dressed in tattered clothes walked barefoot to the edge of the pool.
Lu Yuan adjusted his headlamp and shone it in the other person's direction.
The man's hair was very messy, haphazardly draped over his shoulders, and his beard was also very long. He was quite clean all over, but his clothes were basically worn out.
The other person lifted their hair, revealing a face that, while delicate, was etched with the marks of time.
"Xiwen, holy crap, it really is you!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but swear, while Xi Wen rushed over like a child, jumped into the water, and frantically swung his legs to reach Lu Yuan.
