Chapter 7: The Waterfall
Qin Nanfei probably slept until the afternoon before waking up, and when he woke up, his improvement was already much better. www.biquge.info I was expecting him to rest a little longer, but he insisted on going, so we packed our light luggage and headed down the river.
Hei Fengling led the way ahead, Qin Nanfei and I followed behind him, and Baozi followed me obediently, and Long Yang broke behind. The reason for this arrangement is also so that I can take care of Qin Nanfei more conveniently, and his current physical condition really worries me.
The sound of the water was constantly in my ears, as the river became smaller, the river began to become turbulent, and the originally spacious river bank became narrower and narrower, from the width of four people walking side by side to only one person.
The black wind order leading the way in front made a gesture and stopped: "I can't go any further, there's no way!" ”
"What then?"
Hei Feng Ling looked at the turbulent river and replied, "I can only go from the river!" After speaking, he gave Long Yang a look.
Long Yang unloaded the backpack on his back, took out a neat stack of rubber boats from it, quickly inflated it and put it into the river.
When I saw this, I smiled and boasted, "I'm quite well prepared!" ”
Long Yang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and replied, "It should be." ”
When all four of us were in the kayak, the kayak began to jolt and drift downstream along the river. It's much better to have a kayak, although it's a little bumpy, but at least you don't have to sink into the water and be washed away.
The kayak went all the way forward, and it also hit a lot of places, but fortunately, Long Yang used his spiritual power to protect him, so he was not knocked out of the air. Along the way, some sections of the underground river are narrow and turbulent, while others are wide and the water is much smoother. Most of the spacious sections of the river are connected to a celestial lake.
After about half an hour, the air around me was getting colder and colder, and slowly the river froze over, and countless ice cubes hung on the roof of the cave.
"Why is it getting colder?" Qin Nanfei was very uncomfortable with the increasingly cold air, so he curled up and rubbed his hands.
I reached out and took his hand, and then surrounded him with the power of my blood to ward off the increasingly cold air around me.
"This section should be a glacier, and the top should be the 10,000-year-old glacier on the Kunlun Mountain, which is why it is so cold here. I guess there's a good chance that the whole stretch of the river will freeze ahead, and we'll have to go down and walk by then. Black Wind Commander explained.
Sure enough, as the river progressed, the exposed water surface became narrower and narrower, and the surrounding area was frozen. The four of us got out of the kayak and started walking on the ice. The temperature here should have reached more than minus 10 degrees, but because we all have aura protection, we are not afraid of these colds.
"Everybody be careful! The ice is a little slippery. "We shouldn't have to walk too long, as the river goes, it will go down more and more, and the temperature will slowly rise, and then we can float down in a kayak." ”
"Wait!" Long Yang suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" I was a little surprised, but as he looked at it, I was also surprised.
There were several corpses frozen in the ice not far away, and there seemed to be some in the ice beneath your feet. These people are in a strange posture, and not only are they in strange postures, but their eyes are all open, which at first glance looks very scary.
"Take care of yourself." Saying that, Hei Feng Ling took Long Yang and walked towards those frozen corpses.
The two of them crouched down and watched carefully for a while before walking back. "I feel like tomb robbers, and there are several batches, judging from the clothes, the times are different. ”
"Tomb robbers? How did they come here? And how did they get in? How could you die here? "I couldn't believe it.
"Kunlun Mountain has always been known as the ancestor of China's dragon vein, and the tomb robbers are not stupid, they must know that there will be a big tomb under Kunlun Mountain, and it is not a simple tomb. As long as you have some guts and are obsessed with money, you will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to make a lot of money! Long Yang said.
"Long Yang is right." Hei Feng Ling continued: "For the big tomb under Kunlun Mountain, those tomb robbers must have coveted it for a long time, and they have come batch after batch, but no one has ever succeeded. It's just that how could they have thought that the big tomb under this is the tomb of the legendary Yellow Emperor, how can it be so easy to enter. It's normal for them to die on the road, and these tomb robbers are already very capable of breaking here. ”
"I just think it's strange how they died, and it's pitiful to die here like this. Their relatives could not even find their bodies to be buried, and they had to be frozen here for thousands of years, waiting for the next group of grave robbers to arrive before they were discovered. "I'm a little emotional.
"There will be something hateful about the wretched! They have been frozen here all year round, and it is a little pitiful that they can't be buried in the ground, but their work of tomb robbery has doomed them to such an end! Qin Nanfei said.
"Yes! Sister Xiaoxiao, why do you have to pity these people. ”
"After all, this is the territory of the goddess, and it is protected by the goddess. Whoever wants to disturb the Yellow Emperor's sleep will inevitably be punished by the goddess. Black Wind Ling said, "I can already feel the magic that the goddess is using here. ”
I sighed, "It seems that it will be difficult for us to get in this time!" ”
"Probably not!" Black Wind Ling shook his head: "We have the Imperial Tomb Guardian, and we should be fine with him." ”
As we continued as we went, the ice on the lake was slowly thinning, and soon we were back in the kayak, and the spiritual power that protected us was withdrawn. The kayak drifted smoothly downstream, but the air became hotter and hotter the farther down, and the temperature of the river began to rise.
That's when I realized that we were already very deep underground, and that the temperature around us would only rise when we reached a certain depth, close to the lava.
The kayak was still drifting forward, and we didn't know how long it would be before we reached our final destination.
I sat quietly, listening to the sound of the water around me becoming more and more turbulent, and suddenly felt that the echo was a little strange: "Brother Bai Feng, why do I think this sound of water sounds a little strange?" ”
Black Wind Ling listened carefully, nodded and said, "Well, there is a waterfall ahead." ”
"Waterfalls? Did you say it wouldn't be long before we drifted up the waterfall? Listening to the words of the Black Wind Order, Qin Nanfei's whole person began to get nervous.
Hei Fengling didn't speak, just nodded at him, then turned to Long Yang and said, "Long Yang, pull the kayak first!" ”
Long Yang nodded, and immediately shot out a delicate grappling hook from his sleeve and shot into the rock on the side, and the kayak floated down a few meters before crashing into the stone wall on the side, and then stopped steadily against the stone wall.
"Now that we are approaching the Emperor's Tomb, our spiritual power has been somewhat suppressed. Wait here for a moment, I'll go ahead and investigate. After saying that, the Black Wind Commander climbed the rock wall on the side, nimbly climbing the rock wall and moving downstream, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
I squeezed Qin Nanfei's hand, comforted him not to be nervous, and then asked Long Yang, "Are we going down with the waterfall?" ”
Long Yang scratched his head and replied, "I think it should be!" Otherwise, there is no other good way, so let's wait for Big Brother Hei to come back! ”
I thought that this was all I could do, so I obediently sat on the kayak and waited for the Black Wind Order to come back.
Soon, the Black Wind Order returned, and with a light jump, he returned to the kayak. Seeing our expectant eyes, he said, "There is indeed a waterfall ahead, and it is very high, and it is completely difficult to see below. Saying that, he glanced at Qin Nanfei and continued: "The aura under the waterfall is very strong, I think the entrance is below, so we have to go down with the waterfall." ”
Qin Nanfei swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Do you really want to go down?" ”
I took his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Nanfei, don't worry, it'll be fine, I will definitely protect you, you believe me!" ”
Qin Nanfei closed his eyes and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "I believe in you!" As he spoke, he opened his eyes and looked at me with burning eyes: "Even if something really happens, it is enough to have you by your side!" ”
I didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Black Wind Ling broke the embarrassment in time: "Are you ready?" ”
I took Qin Nanfei's hand and wrapped a thick protective shield around our bodies, and then said to Long Yang: "Long Yang, the bun will be handed over to you!" ”
"Make sure it's unscathed!" Long Yang assured, and touched the head of the bun with his free hand. Poor Baozi had no idea what he was going to experience for a while, grinning stupidly, looking at me, and then at Long Yang, with a little excitement in his eyes.
Long Yang withdrew the grappling hook, and the kayak continued to follow the current, which became faster and faster, and soon we were at the upper reaches of the waterfall, and the sound of the water below was deafening.
"Protect yourselves!"
At the shouts of the Black Wind Order, we lost our center of gravity and fell down the waterfall.
Qin Nanfei closed his eyes and grabbed my hand tightly, and in his ears was the sound of the waterfall rumbling and falling into the water getting louder and louder, and the loud panicked wolf howl of the buns.
