Chapter 51: The Underground River
When night fell, except for Zhan Haochu, everyone else was sleepy, and if that cry didn't sound again, they would have to go back!
It's still a bit dangerous to spend the night in the mountains.
And at this moment, Professor Yang suddenly said, "There is a voice." As he spoke, he closed his eyes and listened.
After about two minutes, Professor Yang hurriedly opened his eyes, and walked up with everyone, after a day of repair, Zhengtian's legs had no problem with the basic movement, and the flesh and blood had grown, but he couldn't do strenuous exercises, and his muscles hadn't grown yet.
According to Professor Yang, the direction of the sound was still on the top of the mountain, and it was not obvious from time to time, so he also walked for a while and stopped for a while, trying to distinguish it.
After five minutes, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at his feet with strange eyes...
"Underground?" Changge said when he saw this.
He nodded helplessly, underground... What can I do...
Yan Peng also said at this moment, "I can't see it underground, there is some spiritual power around here, but it is very small, and there are no large creatures. ā
Changge directly commanded, "Huang Qiaoyu, Tan Feiyu, follow me to the vicinity to find caves, underground caves, and roads that can lead to the underground." Keep an eye out for the grass, most creatures like to hide their burrows!"
"Good!"
The rest of the people are on standby, and now the two of them are generally responsible for the reconnaissance work, and Changge is mainly teaching them this time.
Huang Qiaoyu has grown up very quickly, her decisiveness, and her reaction speed in the face of various scenes have reached a point beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is hard to imagine that this little girl was a student before.
Zhan Haochu had nothing to do, and asked if Zhengtian and the others could participate in the war if there was an accident, and after getting a positive answer, he was also very speechless, and if he asked more, Zhengtian would definitely answer that he could fight.
In Zhengtian's dictionary, there is no word 'cowardice' at all, and the tiger head and tiger brain are the most correct to describe him, and there is a little silly in his bravery.
Time passed slowly, and after a long time, they didn't see Changge and them come back, Zhan Haochu frowned slightly, and asked Yan Peng, "Can you see their spiritual power?"
Yan Peng also frowned and replied, "No, the last time it appeared was in the north, and it disappeared after that." ā
"Let's go!"
...
On the other side, Changge led the two of them to search, but at first they found nothing, and after walking a long distance, they found a crack, which looked new, there were no weeds on both sides, the fracture surface was smooth and neat, and it was not clear what caused it.
It was three meters above the ground, but it was getting deeper and deeper, and the winding was not as straight as a normal crack.
Changge saw that there were no traces of creatures inside, so he didn't hesitate and walked in.
What he didn't know was that there was a rare ore here, a variety of ore that had not even been found in the world, this kind of ore could shield mental power and signals, and it was extremely hard, but it was a little early to say it now.
As time passed, the three of them continued to go deeper, until they came to a place that resembled a cave, a small dark hole, which had to be bent down to enter, and the crack ended here, above which was a normal mountain, at least twenty-five meters away from the surface of the mountain.
Changge threw a stone inside, making a non-stop echo, which meant that it was empty and long.
"Qiaoyu went back to pick up the others, and we waited where we were. Changge commanded.
Huang Qiaoyu turned into a slip and ran back.
Zhan Haochu and a few people also walked to the crack position, Changge was very smart, and left a mark along the way that only they could understand, which was also convenient for Zhan Haochu to find him, and then saw Huang Qiaoyu running out, after briefly explaining the situation, everyone went down together and found Changge and Tan Feiyu.
"To go in or not to go in. Changge asked lightly.
Zhan Haochu also hesitated, this hole is too narrow, if there are any creatures in it to sneak attack, there is nowhere to hide, but if they don't enter, won't they come in vain?
"Come in, it's all here. Zhan Haochu said hesitantly.
He hesitated and others didn't know, and when he heard the words, he began to drill into it.
Zhan Hao immediately stopped when he saw the situation, and said, "Don't, I'm the first, Huang Qiaoyu's palace! ā
"Oh..."
Then the crowd went in turn.
Wet, shady, that's the first feeling, the rock is constantly oozing water droplets, making the rock extremely smooth, and this cave is very narrow, Zhan Haochu in it feels like a loach, not crawling forward, but sliding forward...
'Poof~~'
"Chen Zhengtian, don't fart!" came Huang Qiaoyu's scolding behind him...
"I can't help it! I don't want people to let go if there is a fart!"
ā....ā
This passage is extremely long and narrow, turning left and right, and not all the way forward, after a simple estimate, it just went in the direction from before, which means that this passage is indeed leading to the habitat of that creature, and everyone is not wrong.
The confined space is a little uncomfortable, and the more anxious the person, the more unable to bear this feeling, Zhengtian can't help but complain.
After about ten minutes, just when everyone was about to take it back, there was a sudden sound of a stream in front of them, and they immediately accelerated and slid forward.
After another five minutes, everyone finally saw the other scenery, an open area, and there was an underground river in front of it!
The river was smooth, wide and long, and they were on a sandy beach, with two cliffs at the top, almost five meters at the top.
And this beach is at least eight meters wide, so you can imagine how wide this underground river is.
Then everyone climbed out.
"Captain, there's a monument here!" Zhengtian said suddenly.
Zhan Haochu ran over to take a look, and sure enough, this was a boundary monument, just like the one that normally marked the land boundary.
It's just that this stele has obvious traces of corrosion over time, giving people a feeling of ancient vicissitudes, and there are many small characters densely engraved on it.
"Yan Peng, come here and translate!" Zhan Haochu shouted.
Yan Peng is a language expert in their team, proficient in many languages, and he also looked serious when he heard the words, and said after a while, "This should be a kind of hieroglyphs, I can't translate it, it's too old, very, very old, and it's not even introduced in any written books... But the last paragraph is telling us to leave. You see... The creature is running, and there's a beast chasing after it..."
"No! I can't go!" Professor Yang suddenly shouted excitedly, and ran over to take Zhan Haochu's hand as he shouted.
Everyone was stunned, why did Professor Yang suddenly be so abnormal, and changed his usual gentle and elegant image.
He shouted at Zhan Haochu, "You can't go! It's a great place to study!"
Zhan Haochu also saw that something was wrong, when they faced the plants, Professor Yang begged them not to give up, and now he was suddenly so excited, he asked with a cold face, "What kind of place is this?!"
ā... Iā" Professor Yang was speechless for a long time, and he also realized his gaffe.
Everyone gathered around at this moment, and almost understood what was going on, that is, they were tricked, from the beginning to the present, everyone has not seen the creature that Professor Yang said, it is likely that it is all fictional, and his purpose must be asked.
Zhan Haochu was extremely angry, took out a pistol and put it against his head and said, "Say it quickly!"
He was really angry, what he cherished most was the lives of his teammates, but he was born and died for such a person, and in the end he found out that it was all a scam, and now he really wants to destroy this person with one shot, and then they return the same way, anyway, human life in this world is not worth anything.
"I called him. A voice rang out in the darkness.
Zhan Haochu didn't hesitate, he took out his pistol and shot it over! Then Zhan Haochu wanted to continue shooting, in this kind of place, there are human beings, it's too weird.
But Changge put his hand on the muzzle of the gun, stopped him, shook his head, and then looked in that direction together.
"It hurts..."From the darkness, a figure slowly walked out, saying that it was a person, it was not accurate, only the outline of the person could be seen, but the body was all branches and planks, just like some tree people in science fiction movies.
"Don't be so violent, I didn't call him to hurt you, I don't even know you. The figure continued to murmur.
As he approached, everyone could see his appearance clearly, there were even some green leaves on the branches, and the place where he was hit by Zhan Haochu's bullet just now gradually festered, fell to the ground, and was then covered by other branches...
