Chapter 599: An Unexpected Darkness

"Whoop——!

"Hoo ——!"

After jumping into the bottomless pit, Zuo Yang's hearing was soon occupied by the roaring sound of water and the howling wind, not only in his ears, but also in his head.

However, Zuo Yang still tried his best to maintain enough sobriety and concentration, and kept an eye on the situation below.

"Whoop ——!"

The sound of the water suddenly became much louder, Zuo Yang knew that this situation was very abnormal, unless the bottomless pit had reached the bottom, the sound of the water should definitely not change high and low, and now it has only been long since he jumped into the bottomless pit, it is impossible to go to the end so quickly, not to mention that under the sound of the water that suddenly became intense, there was also the sound of some water continuing to collapse downward.

"Click!"

Zuo Yang subconsciously transformed what he had been holding in his hand into a "flying claw" state, ready to save himself at any time.

The next moment.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa——!"

The sound of the water became louder, almost deafening.

At the same time, Zuo Yang finally saw the situation under his body clearly, just a dozen meters below, the dark water flow that was originally vertically downward had turned into many splashes of white water.

"Damn, there's an obstacle!"

Now Zuo Yang's descent speed has been very fast, the distance of more than ten meters is simply a matter of blink of an eye, Zuo Yang found out about this situation after not having time to think about it at all, so he immediately shot the "flying claw" to the other side of the rock wall, trying to slow down the falling speed and change the direction of the fall, so as to avoid the obstacles below.

In this case, any light skill has lost its effect, and only such an external force can play a role, after all, this is a martial arts game, and it is not a fairy that everyone can soar into the clouds.

And once you hit an obstacle at such a speed......

Although Zuo Yang hadn't tried it before, even if he didn't try, he knew that it would be more than lucky, after all, there are countless players in this game who fall to death every day...... At the beginning of the game, when he was chased by Li Weiyong, a master of the Rootless Gate, and was forced to jump off the cliff, although he finally fell into the water and picked up a life, and also got a so-called loose move, but even if he fell into the water, he also suffered a lot of damage.

"Boom!"

The "Flying Claw" form was as powerful as ever, and the moment it shot out, it firmly grasped the rock wall on the other side, and then the chain connecting the tail of the "Flying Claw" suddenly contracted, and the figure of Zuo Yang descended for a moment, and then it swung to the other side like Tarzan of the Apes to avoid the large white splash below.

"Hey!"

The two almost opposite forces of descent and "flying claw" contraction instantly acted on Zuo Yang's arm, almost tearing off his arm, and even there was already damage, although he didn't feel pain in the game, but Zuo Yang still didn't dare to hold on too much, just changed the direction of the fall, and quickly let the "flying claw" loosen, and then fell dangerously from the side of the big white splash.

It was also the moment when the big white splash passed sideways, and Zuo Yang finally saw it clearly.

It was a huge stalagmite that extended from the side of the rock wall, and the water that fell vertically hit the huge stalagmite, and it was the water that made such a big splash.

And if he hadn't used the "Flying Claw" in time to avoid it, and accidentally crashed into this huge stalagmite, he would have been crushed and his bones would have fallen short.

"Hoo ——!"

With a long breath, Zuo Yang secretly rejoiced, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

In this way, he continued to land rapidly, and several huge stalagmites stood in the way, but with the previous experience, Zuo Yang could already judge the situation below based on the sound of the water, and the large white splashes that appeared when the water flow was blocked were very obvious, and he was no longer as busy as this time before.

Finally.

"Bang!"

With a sound like a cannonball, Zuo Yang plunged straight into a blue pool, the huge impact made Zuo Yang's head a little dizzy, the experience just now was too exciting, I don't know how many times more exciting than the real bungee jumping...... Although Zuo Yang has never jumped to the pole, it is completely conceivable.

And at this moment, although Zuo Yang did not hit those huge stalagmites, he also suffered some unavoidable injuries, especially at the moment when he fell into the water, even if he pierced vertically, the damage he suffered was not low, and the direct damage reached 4 figures!

But he didn't die, and that wasn't enough to kill him.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

After plunging into the water, Zuo Yang's body was still sprinting uncontrollably under the water, so the bubbles kept gurgling, which felt like diving.

In this way, it looked like it was stabbed dozens of meters underwater, and finally stopped the inertia of the downward rush.

At present, Zuo Yang has not yet appeared in a state of "suffocation", so he is not in a hurry to use the "secret of holding his breath", but holds his breath and swims frantically to the water.

"It's good to survive, it's enough to prove that this path can be taken......"

While swimming, Zuo Yang's heart has settled down a lot, and at this point, the task goal of helping Qiao Beiming's "golden cicada get out of its shell" is half completed.

A moment later.

"Whoop——!

Zuo Yang finally rushed out of the water, raised his hand to wipe his face, and took a big breath of fresh air.

Wiping off the water on his face, Zuo Yang's eyesight also recovered, and as far as the eye could see, this was indeed a dark river underground, and this dark river was quite large, just the width was almost 50 meters...... The river is in a huge underground channel, with water and air occupying the general passage.

If this were not the case, Zuo Yang would have to go through the situation he had encountered in the living tomb before, using the "Secret of Holding Breath" to forcibly swim under the water until he completely swam out of this huge passage, or finally did not swim out, and waited until the "Secret of Holding Breath" was effective and suffocated in the water.

"Another step towards success."

As long as there is air, Zuo Yang will not die, and as long as there is a water surface, Zuo Yang does not have to worry about the physical strength required to swim in the water, because he still has such a unique water light skill to use, and because of the assistance, even when treading water, he does not even need to consume internal force.

As his heart became more and more settled, Zuo Yang opened his unique world map and took a look.

He was at the beginning of this underground current, some distance from the location of the sailboat marked on the map.

Of course, Zuo Yang didn't expect to see sailboats there.

Because in his consciousness, the people of the Laoshan faction may have fled overseas on that sailboat, so it is naturally impossible for the sailboat to remain in that place.

What he is looking for is the outlet of this underground undercurrent, as long as the outlet to the sea on the world map is still there, he can take Qiao Beiming to complete the plan of "golden cicada shelling".

Thereupon.

"Whoa——! Uproar——! ”

Zuo Yang slightly judged the direction of the current, then jumped up from the water and walked along the direction of the current.

The journey was very smooth, and after about half an hour, Zuo Yang finally saw something different......

About a few dozen meters in front of it, there is a shallow beach formed by fine sand and reefs, which is about the size of a football field, without any vegetation on it, and can only be seen as yellow and black as the eye can see.

On the side of the shoal, there is a huge sailing ship that has run aground, but the mast of this sailing ship has been broken into several pieces, crooked across the shoal, the hull structure is also damaged in many places, and even the position of the right bilge has an irregular hole larger than the ordinary door, which is completely the wreck of a sailing ship, and it is impossible to use it to sail out to sea.

"This ...... The wreck of this sailboat is exactly the same as the one seen in the design drawing in the secret passage. ”

Although the sailboat is wrecked, the general outline is still there, and it is still possible to judge what it looked like when it was in good condition.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Yang's heart was full of doubts, according to the previous information in the Laoshan secret passage, Zuo Yang always thought that the people of the Laoshan faction were likely to have fled overseas, but now seeing the wreckage of this sailboat, he had some not very good premonitions in his heart.

Could it be that the people of the Laoshan faction did not make it in the end?

With such doubts, Zuo Yang boarded the shallows, and then ...... I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

On this beach the size of a football field, there are dozens of corpses on display, these corpses are wearing the same robes as the two Taoist corpses in the secret passage, but perhaps because of the different environment, the degree of corruption of the corpses here is obviously different, most of the corpses have only dry bones left, and even the Taoist robes on their bodies have been eroded very badly, and it is rare to see a complete piece of clothing.

If you look closely at these dry bones, you will also find that these bones start from the neck position, there are very obvious black marks extending downward, which is a symptom of poisoning, that is, most of these people are poisoned, and the poison should be in food or water.

Zuoyang passed through the dry bones.

Soon he found a different corpse, this corpse did not fall, but died cross-legged and in a fixed posture like some enlightened monks, and until now I don't know how many years have passed, it still maintains this posture...... In addition, the robes he wore were also different, and the materials and workmanship were better, and these details indicated that his identity might be extraordinary.

"These should all be people from the Laoshan faction, but what happened to make them who have already come here fall short and suffer this catastrophe?"

Zuo Yang felt strange in his heart, but he still didn't let go of this corpse with an obviously different identity, and honestly and unceremoniously groped for it up and down.

However, nothing useful was found.

It was at this time.

"Huh? There are words! ”

His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the relatively flat black reef behind the corpse, which was engraved with words, but because of the color, it was easy to ignore the lines of small characters on it if you didn't look closely.

With this discovery, Zuo Yang hurriedly leaned closer to check:

"Laoshan sent a traitor!"

"The deception of the teacher and the ancestor is the elder Sun Yan, the old man should have thought that this thief has repeatedly persuaded the old man to cooperate with the Jin people in order to seek peace, but the old man has never allowed it, and now the Great Song Dynasty is about to go, the old man and the Laoshan disciples fled overseas only to seek a purity, how did this thief have already fornicated with the Jin people, in exchange for glory and wealth, he was ruthlessly poisoned, and cruelly killed people who did not want to follow him."

"Nearly half of the disciples died, and the old man was also seriously poisoned, and his life was short."

"If someone comes here in the future and sees this book, it is a person who is destined for the Laoshan faction, and the old man does not dare to ask for revenge, but only asks the person who is destined to put the dust belt hidden in the main hall of the Shangqing Palace and the dark compartment behind the golden body of the Emperor Xuantian Zhenwu and the corpse of the old man together, and the old man is grateful."

That's all for the content, and it has been very clear what happened.

However, this guy is very rational to "dare not ask for revenge", after all, this underground river is so hidden, God knows when someone will find this place and find his body...... Just like Zuo Yang, according to what Qiao Beiming said before, it is obviously hundreds of years later, even if there is really such a traitor, I am afraid that he has turned into dust, where can I find him for revenge?

However, at the end of this last word, there is a very hidden hidden grid, which is located at the back of the head of the Xuantian Zhenwu Emperor......

This is quite magical, to say that Zuo Yang, the main hall of the Shangqing Palace, has entered several times, and he really hasn't paid attention to this location, let alone used to investigate, if it wasn't specifically mentioned in this last word, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to that place in his life, right?

"Okay, even if I promise you."

Facing the corpse's last words, Zuo Yang nodded slightly and muttered to himself.

This is not because of sympathy for the Laoshan faction, but the normal reaction of a gamer, in a sense, this should also be regarded as an adventure mission, but it is completely difficult to say whether you can get a reward, after all, the person who released the mission and delivered the task this time is a dead man.

So he searched the shoals again, and also entered the dilapidated sailing ship to search, but found nothing......

In this regard, Zuo Yangdao was not too disappointed, after all, the purpose of his trip was to explore the way, not to hunt for treasure, and it was the biggest gain to be sure that this underground river could escape from the ascension to heaven at the moment.

And that's exactly what happened.

Now standing on this shallow beach, looking ahead along the flow of the underground river, you can already faintly see the white moonlight reflected on the water surface, and you can even smell the peculiar wet and salty smell of the sea breeze......

The outlet of the underground river, right there!
