Chapter 21: The Yin and Yang Fish

  "Yes, it's me," Jing Sheng saw Su You was also very happy, but he was more worried about Su You's safety issues, so he was a bit impatient, "Be careful, look carefully at the road before landing!"

  Su You pulled his foot back, one hand grasping the root of the stone tree, and half of his head poked out. Only then did he discover that what he thought was a continuous road after the stone forest was actually not—

  He is now at the end of the road, with a shallow pool of water in front of him, where some fish are swimming. The surface of the water is wide and open, and there seems to be a curved wall in the distance. Eight stone caves are evenly spaced around the edge, and he is standing in one of them.

  Looking up again, a whole piece of gray semi-circular vault, the night pearls are like the stars in the sky. If he said that this material had already been seen all the way, then the stone column hanging down from the middle, like a stalactite, with a height of more than ten floors, was simply a miracle.

  It hung down more and more, directly opposite the small island on the water surface. It's probably not an island either, because based on what they've seen and heard along the way, there are obvious signs of human presence, so it's more likely to be a man-made platform than a natural one.

  "What's that thing?" Su You asked directly, staring at the center of the water.

  "I don't know." said the man on his left, who was standing by the door. "All I know is that if you had taken one more step forward just now, you would have been a dead man."

  "What?!" Su You received a huge shock. He quickly lowered his head, confirming that the water depth was at most only up to his knees. "Are you kidding me?"

  Jing Sheng rolled his eyes. "Of course not drowned." He pointed with one hand, "Do you see the fish inside?"

  "Just now, a group swam by in the distance, but I didn't see clearly," said Su You.

  This place is actually very large, conservatively estimated to be at least the size of two standard playgrounds. Jing Sheng and he are about 70 or 80 meters apart, but perhaps due to structural reasons, the sound seems to be right next to his ear.

  "If only I could get a hold of the structural design drawings for this place." Su You casually sighed.

  "Brother, your occupational disease has relapsed." Jiang Siqi fell behind a few steps and had just slowly walked over when he heard this, immediately making a sarcastic comment.

  "Ah!" Jing Sheng was actually thinking of asking others, but now Jiang Siqi had come out on his own, saving him the trouble.

  However, Su You was shirtless, while Jiang Siqi was wrapped in Su You's clothes. He couldn't help but glance back and forth between the two of them several times. He could recall what it felt like before he lost consciousness. If Su You and Jiang Siqi had fallen for the same trick, wouldn't that be... exactly what Jiang Siqi had intended?

  "Wow, I've never seen a man as handsome as you!" Jiang Siqi couldn't help but shoot his mouth off when he saw Jing Sheng.

  Jing Sheng narrowed his eyes. Thanks to his strong glasses, he could still tell whether Jiang Siqi's face was white or red at this time. In that situation, it was impossible not to leave any marks, but there was nothing unusual about the two people's bodies and expressions. Jiang Siqi being able to pretend was one thing, but Su Youke didn't seem like someone who could hide such a thing.

  He heaved a sigh of relief and mouthed across the water to Jiang Siqi, "A calamity that will last for a thousand years."

  Jiang Siqi saw from afar that Jing Sheng's mouth moved slightly, guessing it wasn't a good thing, and since he couldn't see clearly, he simply rolled his eyes.

  "Are you alone?" During their exchange, Su You's attention had already shifted. "Is there anyone else?"

  Jing Sheng briefly told Shi Song and himself about the Doumu sisters. Just as Su You was about to tell Jing Sheng that he had let Du Ying go back, he suddenly saw that person who shouldn't be here appear behind Jing Sheng's head. "You... didn't you go back?"

  "I... " Du Ying didn't want Su You to think that he wasn't trustworthy, but at the same time, he couldn't not show up, which made him somewhat embarrassed: "I'm worried about you guys."

  "Have you been behind me all along?" Compared to Su You, Jing Sheng was the one who got a big fright. "How did I not know?"

  "It shouldn't be, I just turned from a crossroads." Du Ying knew the other party would suspect, and hurriedly clarified.

  "Really?" Jing Sheng still didn't quite believe it, although the last intersection was indeed a crossroads. His gaze naturally fell on Du Ying's body and found that he was perfectly fine, without any withered wood.

  Su You was unaware of Du Ying and Jing Sheng's subtle thoughts, only feeling that Du Ying had come down, the rhythm of defeat was a complete rout. "Well, it's no use saying anything now, let's think about how to get out." He looked at his watch again, it was already around eight o'clock. His stomach was growling with hunger, and his spirit was also reaching its limit.

  Even if Jing Sheng had more things to verify, he knew it wasn't the right time. "If you ask me, the exit of the maze is probably around here." He pointed to the eight stone caves on the side, "These are all exits, the difference is just which one to come out from."

  "I think so too." Du Ying nodded, "The key is in the fish eye." He looked up at the inverted stone bamboo, "It's very likely to be that place."

  Jing Sheng had already estimated the distance between the two sides, and at this time he couldn't help but retort. "We are about 100 meters away from there, and Su You is probably around 150 meters, so we must dive in!"

  "Your meaning is that we can't touch the water?" Jiang Siqi vaguely heard Jin Sheng's previous warning to Su You, and couldn't help but glance at the water surface, realizing that if Su You had just taken a step forward, he would have definitely stepped into the water. "Fish eating people?" He put forward the most likely, most scientific conjecture. Otherwise, what other danger could there be in such a shallow pool?

  "It's not just eating people." Jing Sheng's face sank, "I just threw a piece of cloth in there, and it disappeared before I could even see clearly."

  Upon hearing this, Du Ying glanced down at his pant legs and indeed found that they were a bit short.

  Su You still didn't see any fish. "There aren't many of them anyway," he said, offering his opinion. "Maybe if we hurry up, we can get out of here before they swim over?"

  Jing Sheng sneered at this naive idea. "You can try if you want."

  Su You turned his head and glanced at Jiang Siqi, who nodded to him. He then took off the still damp vest from his waist, balled it up and threw it out. For safety and to ensure a clear view, he threw it neither too far nor too close, about 7 or 8 meters away from the shore into the water.

  "Three points, beautiful!" Jiang Siqi loved watching Su You play basketball and blurted it out without thinking.

  But before he could finish his sentence, a strange change occurred ——

  The fish that were not visible just a moment ago gathered almost instantly, forming a black and white cluster. Some even jumped out of the water and bit onto my back in an instant.

  "I... grass..."

  Su You couldn't help but admit that Jin Sheng's description was too polite, because the back of his heart hadn't even fully sunk into the water yet and it had already completely disappeared! Moreover, he finally saw clearly those strange fish——

  They are roughly the size of a palm, round in shape. That's not all - one side is black with white eyes, and the other side is white with black eyes!

  "What's all this nonsense... Yin and Yang fish?"
