"Sorry." Gu Li laughed at his irrationality, he is really a jerk.

Compared to his embarrassment, Iris looked calm, but turned his face away and frowned slightly.

Because of his recklessness and aggrievedness, he kept feeling guilty.So much so that the only remaining suspicion of Iris' deliberate seduction gradually faded away in this atmosphere.

The temperature of the palm holding his lower back rose, and it was even more restless than teasing even though it was not teased.

"I'm fine, I can go to the next ventilation point."

Iris waited for him to take a deep breath, and then quickly sank into the water with his hands on his waist.

This time, he was not allowed to lie on his back, but to sneak underwater with one hand in his arms.But this face-to-face hugging and swimming posture is not much better than lying on his back, and even makes him more uncomfortable than lying on his back.

The hugged waist bent back, trying to keep his lower body away from Iris.But immediately after, Iris, who thought he was going to let go, lifted him up, and after his arms were tightened, he became unavoidable.

The hand that didn't know where to put it, was also pinched by Iris's wrist and changed direction, letting him hang his shoulders and grab the clothes.

Mermaids can also breathe underwater, but the breathing rate is different from that on land, it will become extremely slow and steady, and even the heartbeat will slow down accordingly.

Gu Li turned his head to avoid Iris' exhalation, but when the damn air bubbles brushed against his ears, he still couldn't help trembling.

He estimated the distance to the second ventilation point in the channel in his memory, but when he counted silently to eighty seconds in his mind, he still didn't see the cave.

His water skills are really not good, especially when the heart rate is high.Even though he tried his best to relax his body, he was about to suffocate when he held it for 2 minutes.

Under the rapidity of Iris, the entire corridor is estimated to be able to swim in 3 minutes.In addition to the previous section of the road, even if the second ventilation cave is not found, it should have reached the end.

Could it be that there is a fork in the passage and Iris lost his way?

The hand on Iris' shoulder was changed to hug his neck, and his eyes were sore after opening his eyes underwater for a long time.He had to close his eyes to relieve, all relying on his trust in Iris.

Maybe it was the pain of suffocation that made him tense, and even the speed of the countdown unconsciously accelerated.At two minutes and 40 seconds, he uncomfortably tightened the fabric on Iris' back.

Suddenly, the material bag on his back was entangled by vines at the bottom of the water, so Iris, who was holding him, had to stop to help pull it.

The fear of gradually suffocating made his cheeks flushed, the veins in his neck bulged, and he would soon fall into a coma due to suffocation.

Iris pinched his chin, lowered her head and kissed his pale lips, pried open the white teeth with her tongue, and breathed into his mouth suddenly.

As if the rain was coming after a long drought, he hurriedly hugged Iris tightly, exhaled the air in his mouth, and took two more breaths.

Breathing under the water is difficult for the two of them for the first time, especially for Gu Li who was almost suffocated to death.When the breath reaches the lungs, there is only half of it left, and Iris has no time to breathe, so he covers his lips and ingests it again.

Iris looked at Gu Li who frowned and closed his eyes and kissed him, with a smile in his eyes, and slowly pulled off the vines that hooked Gu Li's supply bag.When he calmed down, he hugged Gu Li tightly again and swam to the finish line.

Gu Li, who came out of the water, took several mouthfuls of fresh air, and even felt dizzy for a short time due to overbreathing.

"Why don't you stop at the ventilation point?" After gradually recovering his sanity, he climbed out of the pool and asked.

But when he saw Iris who was holding on to the rock wall by the pool and was also short of breath, he felt that his tone was a bit too much.

Mermaids can indeed breathe underwater, but like whales, they are creatures that store part of the air and dive underwater, and come ashore for a certain period of time to breathe.It's just that he didn't know the duration, and he didn't know whether the mermaid can last for a few minutes or a few hours underwater.

As far as he was taking air from Iris's mouth so frequently and quickly, even an oxygen bag must have been inhaled by him.

"Sorry." He put away the questioning tone just now, and seeing Iris panting with his back turned to him, his guilt suddenly rose several degrees.

Iris coughed for a while, and re-buttoned the clothes that Gu Li had torn off in the tension, and was ready to go into the water again when his breathing became stable.

"Iris." Gu Li called.

Iris looked back at him.

He lowered his eyebrows and said hesitantly, "They didn't hold their breath for as long as I did. Don't use the method of breathing for me just now." Thinking of the touch of Iris' lips and teeth when breathing underwater, the two of them Clinging to her body, she couldn't help but look ugly and said, "Anyway, don't bring me here."

Iris looked puzzled, as if asking him why.

He pretended to look around, and replied casually, "They don't have my peace."

The water splashed, and when he finished speaking, he turned back, and there was no sign of Iris in the pool.

He wiped the water on his face irritably, and only after using up the dry magnetic field did he seriously observe the surrounding environment.

There is not much difference between the cave at the exit of the passage and the cave at the starting point. The only difference is the size and the number of cracks on both sides, as well as the overgrown vegetation that has not been cleaned.

The water pool at the end has no steps from the starting point, it looks like a small coast, with a slope from deep to shallow.The top of the cave is about ten meters from the ground, and the amount of vegetation attached to it is more than three times that of the starting point.

Those hanging mutated vines blocked the range of crystal mine lighting like a curtain, so that the viewing distance became smaller.

However, the number of cave creatures is less than that seen when breathing in the underwater passage.And the body is small, the biggest is no more than his palm.

The only headaches are those slime molds that are easy to slip, covering almost all the ground and rock walls that can be walked, and even use the hanging vines as parasites to absorb nutrients.

Looking closer, the vines that have been drained of nutrients are also like slime mold, almost translucent, with a smooth surface.

Not only that, when he cut off the nearby vegetation with a magnetic field, he discovered that there were more than a dozen translucent and translucent cocoons hidden behind the heavy vines.

Like the stomach pouch that slime molds use to store food, the inside is full of mucus, and it is actually covered with the corpses of various creatures.And these creatures are like vines, after all the nutrients are absorbed, only a soft and translucent shell remains.

Under the illumination of the light, when the mucus digested the dead body, a few slow bubbles that occasionally floated up, as well as the human utensils floating at the bottom of the cocoon could be clearly seen.

The military boots stepped on a piece, and the slime mold under the feet made an unpleasant water-stained sound after being squeezed by the weight.It seems to be easily destroyed, but after he lifts his feet, it re-covers and grows, returning to a fresh and plump appearance.

And the soles of his military boots are like insect legs stained with nectar.Wherever it goes, the mucus sticks there, and then takes root and grows at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He should really be thankful that these slime molds don't live on his military boots, as long as they don't touch the skin, they won't cause too much harm to the human body.

As you get closer to the cocoon, the things wrapped inside can be seen more clearly.

In fact, the so-called cocoons are overall slime molds in spite of their appearance.Like a water sac, the skin is net-like and very thin, as if it can be punctured with a light touch.

There are about thirteen slime molds of this shape, and they grow around this center, from large to small, dense enough to make the scalp tingle.And in these slime molds all over the place, there are a lot of human things.There are weapons, there are processed plastics that cannot be broken down by mucus, and there are many used medical injections.

From the perspective of quantity, it should not be the only researcher who was discovered before. It seems that there was a huge team that lived here for a period of time, and it appeared earlier than that researcher.

He went through the thirteen biggest slime mold packs.Except for the used utensils, no human bones or remains have been found.

It is possible that the bones have been digested by mucus, or it is possible that these slime molds mutated and grew after the migrating humans left.

But the most troublesome thing for him now is that he can't find any trace of going out.

Slime mold covers almost all human traces, including those that have been excavated.If you want to find a way out, you must remove all the slime mold.But in this way, the time they wasted in this cave will be extended, two days, one week or longer.

There was a lot of movement from the direction of the pool, and Mimir was the first to be brought here. After getting out of the water, he lay on his stomach in the shallow water, panting heavily, his eyes dim and his face ugly.

The way Iris brought Mimir was not very gentle, as if he was carrying Mimir's collar with a cloth bag.Along the way, you can imagine how uncomfortable it is without asking.

Afterwards, Dao Porling was even worse, he didn't even grab the collar, and directly dragged the person by the shoulder strap on the supply bag.

The two people who were taken seemed to have run for more than ten kilometers, and they were exhausted and limp in the shallow water area, complaining for a long time with water jets in their mouths.

Gu Li hurried forward to check, and after making sure that the two of them were all right, he smiled and said, "Three ventilation ports, a route of up to 1 minute at a time, can't be so suffocated?"

"Change a fart!" Dao Porling sat up with difficulty, stirred the water on his robe and said angrily: "Ask this broken fish, he is definitely taking revenge! From entering the water to coming out, he dragged me here in one breath, I almost I didn't suffocate to death at the bottom of the water!"

Gu Li frowned, and passed through the underwater passage in one breath?But the speed of the two of them coming here was less than 2 minutes, faster than he estimated from Iris's mental magnetic field.

Mimier tremblingly held up an index finger, not knowing where to point it, and said weakly: "I almost thought I was going to die just now, thanks to Iris' quick reaction."

He raised his hand to wipe his lips, sat up with his hands on the ground, his eyes wandered for a while, and finally locked on Iris who was slowly walking towards him from the deep water area.

Blushing, he said, "He actually!"

Gu Li remained calm, but his tone sank, "What's wrong with him?"
