Looking at his watch, there were still 8 hours until dawn, and Durin wanted to use this time to explore the upper reaches of the underground river. It just so happens that Jiang Meng'e is now controlling He Wenwen's (shēn) body, and compared to He Wenwen's own figure, Du Lin feels that Jiang Meng'e, who is still familiar with the situation in the sinkhole (qíng), is more reliable.

I don't know how long it will take to come back, Du Lin is afraid that when he comes back, Jiang Meng'e has already returned to the bronze mirror.

When He Wenwen woke up, she would not see Du Lin, so she would be in a hurry, so she left a note explaining the situation (qíng) and all the food.

He also entrusted Jiang Meng'e to take care of He Wenwen's body as much as possible when she was attached to her.

Afterwards, Durin put the entourage items into a large sealed plastic bag, tied a rope to his waist, and jumped into the underground river.

The water of the underground dark river is cold and biting, and Du Lin personally measured that it is about 10 degrees above zero at most, that is, relying on Du Lin's special physique, otherwise even if he changes to a good winter swimmer, it is estimated that he will freeze out of the water.

Durin spotted the direction of the upstream and swam forward against the current.

The course of the underground river is so dark that you can't really see your fingers, and even if Doerin has super eyesight, he can only see as far as a meter or two in front of him.

For safety reasons, Du Lin used his five senses to the extreme, in addition to seeing the surrounding conditions with his eyes (qíng), he also used his ears to carefully distinguish every small sound around him, and used his body (shēn) to feel the changes in the water flow around him.

After swimming for about ten minutes, Durin suddenly felt that a large object had just passed under his feet, and from the speed and shape, it was speculated that it might be a big fish, a big big fish.

This made Durin nervous for a moment, and Durin knew that it was impossible to say that there were no aquatic animals in such a wide underground river.

Knowing that he had no advantage in the water, Durin hurriedly changed direction and swam towards the shore.

It is said that it is the shore, but in fact, there is no flat land where you can settle down. We can think of this underground river as a huge water pipe, and all Doolin has to do now is to get as close to the wall of this pipe as possible, in case the big fish has bad intentions, Doolin

can reduce the area where you are attacked.

As soon as Doolin's hand touched the smooth wall of the tube, he felt a huge wave rush in.

Durin hurriedly turned back, only to see a huge black shadow rushing towards him, about to crash into himself (shēn).

Du Lin didn't have time to make any other moves, and subconsciously crossed his arms in front of (shēn), only to feel a huge force attack, slamming Du Lin against the stone wall by the river.

The injured body (shēn) that had just been injured the day before vomited blood again, and a mouthful of immortal blood sprayed into the river.

Only then did Du Lin see that it was a huge catfish that attacked him, and the big flat head in front of him was more than a meter wide, and the tentacles on the side of the mouth were so long that there was no end in sight, and it was impossible to see how long the (shēn) child was, but within two meters of his sight, he could only see the (xiōng) part of the fish, and according to this ratio, this fish was at least four meters long!

The giant catfish opened its bloody mouth full of fine fangs and bit down on Durin, and if it did, half of it would be gone.

Du Lin grabbed the stone wall with his hand, and with a flash (shēn) to the side, the giant catfish bit into the air, and only drank a mouthful of river water in his mouth.

Du Lin thought to himself, Lao Tzu has lived for more than 1,400 years, and it would be too embarrassing to die in the mouth of a hairless beast like you.

After thinking about it, it was a heavy punch to the big flat head of the giant catfish, and under the blow of Du Lin's super strength, the huge head of the giant catfish was crooked to the side, and even the tentacles as thick as children's arms on the side of the mouth were broken.

The giant catfish shook its skull, swam away into the distance, and swam back after a circle, but this time it was not as menacing as before, but slowly and leisurely, swimming gently to Durin's side.

Du Lin just wanted to punch a few more punches, but he couldn't feel any malice from the giant catfish's movements, so he put away his fist and waited to see what happened.

I saw the giant catfish stop at the side of Durin (shēn) and gently sweep it on Durin (shēn) with its long tentacles, and there was a hint of intimacy.

Du Lin immediately understood, when the giant catfish bit down just now, he didn't bite himself, but drank a mouthful of river water, and there was just a mouthful of immortal blood spit out by Du Lin in that river water, and the giant catfish tasted the benefits after drinking the immortal blood, and also had a "blood effect" on Du Lin!

The consanguinity effect also has an effect on animals, which is more than 1,400

years of new discoveries.

Durin tentatively reached out and touched the head of the giant catfish, and the giant catfish also swam closer very cooperatively, so that Durin could touch its head more easily.

Durin was overjoyed, and it seemed that he didn't have to swim hard.

A few minutes later, if there were people in the underground river, he would see such a spectacle: a man, standing firmly on the water, not seeing the movement of his legs and feet, but moving quickly, holding a long white tentacle in his hand, and looking down along the tentacle, it turned out that a giant catfish four or five meters long was carrying the man upstream......

After swimming for about an hour, Dührin saw a bright light coming out of one side of the river, and when the giant catfish swam closer, it turned out to be a hole, and the light came from the hole.

Durin gently pulled the tentacles in his hand back, and the giant catfish slowly stopped very tacitly, and Durin pulled the tentacles in the direction of the cave entrance, and the giant catfish swam towards the cave entrance.

Near the entrance of the cave was a shoal, and Durin waded through the water to reach the entrance of the cave, and Durin crouched down and patted the big head of the giant catfish, telling it to wait for him here, and I don't know if it could understand it.

This cave is different from the one in the sinkhole, which is vertically oriented up and down, while this one is the horizontal cave that people generally remember.

The cave was very short, and after only a few steps, it suddenly opened up, and on one side of the cave was a huge karst cave, so huge that Duhrin thought that it was a large mountain that had been hollowed out.

The cave is likely to have been around for tens of thousands of years, and the cave is full of stalagmites on the ground, and the top of the cave is a long rǔ stone, some of which have been connected up and down to form stone pillars.

I don't know what kind of mineral composition is contained in it, whether it is stalagmites, stone pillars or bell (rǔ) stones, all emit white fluorescence, like fluorescent lights, although each fluorescent is not very bright, but these lights come together, and the entire karst cave is reflected as if it is day.

The cave was so large that Doolin couldn't see the end in sight. He quickly walked towards the depths of the cave. Soon he saw traces of human life in the cave - a pile of burning charcoal.

After all, at present, only humans can use fire.
