The group remained silent and mourned for a while, only to hear Huang Mingming's loud cry.

However, Master Qiu held back first, persuaded Huang Mingliang a few words, and then said to the others: "We can't forget the purpose of this trip, so everyone can hold back their tears for the time being and take a look...... How can I place this disciple of mine, just move on!"

Although Bai Yang was still uncomfortable, he could only stand up and look at the surrounding scenery.

He found that the width of the cave was still more than thirty meters, and not far away there was a dark river at least six to seven meters wide.

The river flowed along the rock wall on the right, drew a large arc in the clearing, and disappeared under the rock wall on the left, and it was evident that there was a large cavern flooded with water under the rock wall on the left and right sides.

Dozens of meters on the opposite side of the dark river, the rocks on both sides narrowed rapidly, forming an angle at the very top, and there seemed to be a fairly large gap in the corner.

Between the corner and the dark river, there is a flat clearing.

Bai Yang stomped on the ground with his foot, making sure that there were all rocks underneath, then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the river, and said: "Look, Master Qiu, it seems to be a sandy land on the other side of the dark river, and we can bury Wu Daochang on the sand on the other side of the river." ”

Master Qiu took a closer look, nodded first, but quickly said: "According to the record in "Immortal Cave Travel", you can find a passage to continue after crossing this river!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the triangle at the end, and said, "You see there is a big slit in front of you, which should be the passage to continue going, but the problem is that the fierce strange fish recorded in the "Travelogue" should be in this river!"

As he spoke, he approached the river to take a closer look.

Poplar followed him closer to the dark river and found that the water was clear, but it seemed to be extremely deep. So much so that you can only see the bottom of the river bank, but you can't see the situation in the middle of the river.

In the river, there are large and small swimming fish, and the color of the fish is basically milky white and close to transparent, which is very different from the shape of the swimming fish in the external environment.

"It seems that a set of ecosystems that are different from the external environment have been formed in this dark river, but I wonder if these translucent swimming fish are the fierce strange fish recorded in the "Travelogue"?" Bai Yang said.

"I'm not sure about this, I have to try it to find out!" said Master Qiu.

"I don't think this kind of swimming fish will be the fierce strange fish recorded in the "Travelogue"!" said Xiang Aiguo.

Poplar and Master Qiu immediately looked back at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Xiang Aiguo stretched out his hand to the river and pointed to the river, saying: "There is no sunlight in this river, so there are no aquatic plants or anything, and in order to stabilize the ecosystem, it is necessary for big fish to eat small fish, and fierce fish to eat weak fish! Therefore, the number of big fish and fierce fish must not be too large, otherwise once these small and weak fish are eaten, the big fish and the fierce fish themselves will starve to death!"

Bai Yang and Qiu Zhangmen both felt that Xiang Aiguo was reasonable, and they were nodding again and again, Tie Niu and Dong Daoren walked over with Huang Mingming, who was still gloomy, and listened to Bai Yang and the others discuss, Tie Niu suddenly said: "Not necessarily, right? You see, there are a few colored fish there!"

Several people immediately looked in the direction of Tie Niu's fingers, and sure enough, there were a few big black and yellow fish swimming out from under the rock wall on the right, and swam along the slowly flowing river, shaking their heads and tails to the rock wall on the left.

"It seems that this dark river is indeed connected to the outside world, and these colored fish should swim in from a place where there is sunlight, but these transparent fish do not attack them, it seems that they ......"

Poplar's words could not be finished, because suddenly the water rippled, and there was a translucent shadow, which shook in the water.

The colored fish fled in terror at once, but as the translucent shadows swam rapidly in the water, a splash surged up.

Immediately after a piece of bright red fish blood was rendered in the water, the translucent large and small swimming fish that were swimming peacefully before immediately rushed towards the blood water, and soon sucked the blood water clean.

The water was calm again, and the big colored fish disappeared, as did the translucent shadow.

Only the clear river flowed steadily, and the translucent fish in the water were still swimming peacefully, as if everything was an illusion and nothing had actually happened.

Everyone was stunned, and after a long time, Tie Niu exclaimed, "What was that just now?

No one could see clearly, and the shadow was also translucent, and the refraction of water waves made it impossible to distinguish even the head and tail of the shadow.

"It seems that this monster fish usually sleeps at the bottom of the water to save energy, and when an outside fish swims in by mistake, it will suddenly come out with a delicious meal! The reason why the ecosystem here has been able to last for hundreds of thousands of years is precisely because this dark river is very closely connected with the outside world!" Bai Yang said.

"In this way, we can at least be sure that we can swim out smoothly through this dark river!" said Tie Niu. He is optimistic by nature and always thinks about the bright side first when he encounters things.

Xiang Aiguo shook his head and said: "But since there is this strange fish in this water, let alone diving out, it will be very difficult for us to even wade across this river to the other side! And even if this strange fish is scarce in number, it will not be just this one, it must at least have a male and a female if it has to reproduce and survive from hundreds of years ago to the present!"

"What Xiang Xiao'er said is reasonable!" Master Qiu nodded again and again, "This strange fish is so fierce and translucent, as long as it is in the water, it will be difficult for us to get rid of it! Not to mention that there is probably more than one strange fish of this kind, it is really difficult for us to cross this river!"

Poplar secretly pondered in his heart, seeing that the river was so wide, and it was next to the stone forest, there was not enough space to run, even with his ability, it was not easy to cross over, and it was even more impossible for others.

I could only turn around and ask Master Qiu: "I don't know how this dark river is described in "Travels to the Immortal Cave", does it say how he crossed this river?"

The author doesn't have much to say about this dark river, after all, there are not many words in the whole "Journey to the Fairy Cave", he only says that he swam across the river, and suddenly an unusually fierce and strange strange fish appeared in the water, which almost killed him in the belly of the fish, and a sword he carried with him also fell into the river. Qiu Zhangmen said.

"And how did he cross the river when he returned?" asked Poplar again.

"He didn't mention this at all!" Master Qiu shook his head, "I guess this author himself wants to create a mysterious atmosphere, so he left a lot of confusing questions unanswered in this "Journey to the Immortal Cave"!"

Bai Yang couldn't help frowning, but Tie Niu said, "If that's the case, at least you can be sure that this water is safe!"

Bai Yang knew why he suddenly mentioned this, after all, the stream in front of the Biyou Goddess Palace in Xiangxi Miao Village before, the slightest touch would make it difficult for people to rot their skin and flesh and survive again.

So Poplar glanced at the Iron Bull and said, "It must be safe! This water is not stagnant, but flows in from the outside, and then flows to the outside, as the few ordinary colored fish just now have proved this." ”

"Then let's try it and see if we can lure out that strange fish!" Iron Bull said, turning his head and smiling at Huang Mingming, "Mingming, I use the iron rod to shake hard in the water, you help me look at the water, if that translucent strange fish suddenly pops up, you immediately shoot at it!"

Huang Mingliang knew that Tie Niu was diverting his attention, and he was naturally grateful to Tie Niu in his heart, so he nodded, drew his two guns and stood beside Tie Niu.

"Be careful!" Poplar instructed Iron Bull.

Iron Bull nodded and smiled, and stood as close to the water's edge as possible, thrashing back and forth with the iron rod reaching into the water.

With the sound of the water surging and surging, the translucent big fish and small fish in the water were shocked to avoid it far away.

Bai Yang was afraid that the translucent strange fish would suddenly jump out of the water, and the attacking iron bull would be caught off guard, and he also drew his black sword to stare at the water.

But the strange fish was so calm that a few people only saw the splashes of water stirred up by the iron rods, but there was no other movement.

"I don't believe it yet!"

Tie Niu hated a word, and simply raised his foot and stepped into the river.

The river is only six or seven meters wide, but there is no bottom in the deepest part of the middle, so you can imagine that the slope of the bottom must be very steep.

However, the refraction of water light, when you look into the water from the shore, you can't see this slope at all, but you will feel that the bottom of the water near the shore is clear and not too deep.

Because of this, Tie Niu's step was a little bigger, and Bai Yang just shouted "Be careful", Tie Niu stepped on the air, busy trying to stabilize his body, but his feet slipped, and suddenly his whole body fell into the river.

Poplar was shocked, and his eyes were even more fixed on the bottom of the water.

Everyone else hurriedly pulled the iron bull, especially Huang Mingming, who was closest to the iron bull, put away his pistol and hugged the back of the iron bull.

Only the poplar could faintly see that a huge translucent object seemed to rise from the bottom of the water. It's just that the iron bull's feet fluttered out patches of water, and the poplar didn't see it very clearly.

But Poplar cared far more about the Iron Bull than others, and at this time he didn't have time to think about it at all, so Poplar let out a casual shout, and threw himself into the water with the black sword in his hand.

The translucent object was rising, how could you have expected the aspen to jump into the water?

What's more, its size is huge, and it is difficult to turn in an instant, and it was immediately stabbed by Poplar's sword.

There was no red blood coming out of the bottom of the water, but a pale blue color spread along the blade of the black sword.

Immediately after him, Poplar only felt an undercurrent surging down, driving his body to flip rapidly in the water.

In the exclamation of everyone on the shore, they saw a translucent strange fish suddenly jump out of the water, and then smash into the water with a "bang". smashed into the waves of the water, drenching everyone on the shore into chickens.

Although it was only for a moment, everyone could clearly see that the strange fish was more than two meters long, with a huge head and a frighteningly large mouth. And in its mouth, there are milky white sharp teeth.

Xiang Aiguo reacted first and immediately fired a series of crossbow arrows.

It's a pity that the strange fish fell back into the water in a flash, and the power of the crossbow arrow into the water was greatly reduced, although a crossbow arrow seemed to be shot on the back of the strange fish, but as soon as the water rushed, the crossbow arrow fell off and sank.
