"There's a hanger here, you can go down!"

Soon, Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun looked separately, and they found that Bai Yujing took a look, it was a place on the other side, a hanger built of wood, which could put people and materials down together, but after so long, they were all rotten, Bai Yujing could only find a fixed point with Zhou Jun and the two of them, and climbed down from here with a rope.

Below is the gap between the two layers of rock walls, the bottom is only one or two meters wide, standing below you can see the platform and the cave above, the bonfire that Bai Yujing just lit above is still lit, no one thought that there is a deep ditch here.

The water under the deep ditch flowed endlessly, as if it was gathering from above little by little, but the water flow was not large, only knee-deep, Bai Yujing and the two walked down, followed the water flow, and gradually went deep into a waterway, and the water flowed down under their feet, and the road became difficult to walk.

Zhou Jun asked: "This place is so difficult to walk, and it was so difficult for Wang Quanyi of the Ming Dynasty to open up the road, so how did this king build his royal tomb? Why did he build it in such a place?"

Bai Yujing took a searchlight to shine left and right, and as he walked, he checked the road in front of him: "Thousands of years have passed, and it is difficult to verify the events of that year, maybe there was a road that led directly to the underground dark river, and the king used the dark river to use a large number of slaves and ships to build his own royal tomb!"

"As for why it was built in such a place? Who knows? Maybe it was for concealment, or maybe it was because the king saw a mysterious place after passing through the dark river, so he wanted to build his tomb there, and in ancient times, all kinds of beliefs and myths about heaven and earth may have contributed to this reason. ”

Along the water flow all the way down, Bai Yujing can see that the traces of artificial excavation are getting heavier and heavier, a large number of wooden shelves, stone rubble, and debris left by people appear here, and the road ahead is gradually opening up, and two people don't have to pass through the water, they can stand on the road next to them and go down.

"This place is definitely not the original road, at least not the road used by the king when he built the royal tomb, I estimate that the original road down was blocked because of some natural disaster or earthquake, and at that time in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Quanyi had no choice but to recruit a large number of craftsmen and farmers, and explored such a waterway here, and carved out such a downward road, how many people would have to die to open such a road?"

Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun even found a large number of bones, bone racks and clothes scattered all over the ground, and they were still on the side of the road, Bai Yujing took a look: "These people must not have died when they dug this road, they died here when they finally evacuated here, were they killed by Liu Quanyi? Or is it for some other reason, no, this corpse is not quite right?"

Zhou Jun also took a flashlight and looked at it: "It's not right, even if it's dead, the skin and flesh should still be there, this is gnawed clean, what kind of animal did it?"

At this time, Bai Yujing suddenly stopped, looked left and right, Zhou Jun immediately lifted his spirits, and at this time, a figure suddenly came out of the water, Bai Yujing immediately kicked out, and after this thing flew out, he immediately turned around and turned in circles towards Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun.

"What is this?"

"Is this a rat?"

The two of them were prepared for the danger and any animals that would appear underground, but at this time they saw that it was indeed a mouse, but this mouse, which was a little too large, looked like the size of a hunting dog.

The mouse's eyes were red, sharp and full of beast aggression**, but Bai Yujing didn't bother to talk nonsense with it, he pounced directly, pulled out a Type 65 military dagger from his waist, and rushed directly to this guy, and was so excited by Bai Yujing, the aggression of the giant rat was also stimulated at once, and he bit Bai Yujing head-on.

The two of them rushed to each other, the sound of footsteps and water were staggered, and the splash of water rushed to both sides, Bai Yujing was the fastest, and suddenly pressed the monster to the ground, pressing the giant rat with one hand, so that it could not move.

"Squeak squeak!"

The giant rat's sharp cry and the constantly struggling figure writhed, and the huge mouth kept biting, but Bai Yujing inserted a dagger into its eye socket, and stirred it hard, and the giant rat was silent.

Zhou Jun stepped over and took a look: "How can there be such a big rat here?"

The searchlight on Bai Yujing's head looked at the mouse, the rat's fur was dry, dry and thin, and it looked hungry for a while: "Water rats, commonly known as water rats, there are such things in South America, the largest can grow to 1.5 meters, weighing one or two hundred catties, this one is small, but it is rare on our side, and there is basically no such a big variety, I didn't expect to see such a big one here!"

Zhou Jun looked at it in surprise: "Good guy, this mouse, what is it to eat, you look at the teeth, such a big one, if you want to climb out from here, everyone can eat it, ordinary people are empty-handed, where is the opponent of such a big monster!"

Bai Yujing nodded: "So this place is very dangerous, and this kind of rat is generally in groups, no wonder no one dares to come in here, there is this kind of thing, how many people come in will eat you cleanly!"

Zhou Jun looked left and right: "You mean there are still a large group of these things in this place?"

Bai Yujing nodded: "Be careful, this thing is born from the water, there is nothing to eat underground, they should eat the fish in the underground river for a living, these who ran up, they should be lost, I don't know how many days I haven't eaten, I went crazy when I saw the sound of the two of us walking!"

The two of them walked down, and sure enough, as Bai Yujing said, on the next road, Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun encountered several of these giant rats one after another, and a single one was as difficult to deal with as a fierce dog, in this darkness, this giant rat was even more aggressive, and when he encountered two or three of them pounced on him at one time, Bai Yujing also felt a little troublesome and tricky.

Zhou Jun squatted on the ground, retreated a giant rat whose head had been cut off in half, and wiped the blood on his face: "It's disgusting, why is this thing going down more and more?"

Bai Yujing pulled Zhou Jun up, took out the underground water vein map, took out a compass and cut the direction, and made a mark on the water vein map: "When you meet these monsters, it means that we are on the right track, and these things are coming from the underground dark river." ”

Bai Yujing is not going to put any terrain detection robots, just look at the geological water vein map, and then determine the direction is enough, as long as he walks down this artificially dug road.

This waterway is not very smooth, many places are still very steep, originally the ladder and the wooden frame were connected to each other, and some of the wooden frames could barely borrow strength, but the ladder was completely rotten, and Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun could only find another way to go down.

Some of the cliffs are seven or eight meters high, and there is no problem for two people to take the handle, and some are more than ten meters deep, and Bai Yujing and the two can only use ropes or other methods.
