The cave is quiet, along the slippery path, and there is nothing here, except for the delicious catfish and eels that swim in the underground river from time to time.

In his last life, Charles spent two years working in the karst region of northwestern Guangxi, where he could catch fish washed out of the underground river after heavy rains. His favorite is the catfish tofu stew pot, where fresh catfish is slaughtered and simmered in a casserole with fried tofu, and the taste is superb.

Along the way, the river overflows the shore from time to time, but you can wade through the water, and after walking for about ten kilometers, the passage comes to an end.

It is a large waterhole, and the gushing groundwater is the source of that section of the underground river.

When the lights shine through, you can see a blind fish with white and pink in the waterhole, and there are several white blind shrimp at the bottom of the water.

Now Charles is in trouble, he has an in-depth understanding of the karst landscape, and knows that this underground river system extends in all directions, and if he rushes down, he will be trapped in it.

But after thinking about it for a while, he was not afraid, and it was a big deal to run back with teleportation.

So he took off his clothes, took a bottle of "Wind of Clear Water" from the storage ring and took a sip of it, so that he could breathe in the water for a few hours.

He was curious about the potion and wondered how it allowed water to break down into oxygen and hydrogen after entering the body.

Diana sometimes researched this, and this simple method of splitting water to obtain hydrogen would later work.

Although the weather outside is starting to get cold, the groundwater is often kept at around 20 degrees Celsius, and there is no fear of being taken away by the low temperature to take away too much body heat.

Charles sneaked some distance in the water when he noticed a fork in the road to the right of the main river ahead.

He raised the lamp and took a closer look around, and noticed that there was a faint arrow sign pointing forward at the top of the main river, which was almost impossible to see by the current.

After walking the sign and naturally following the swim, he continued to swim forward.

After swimming in the crooked river for almost an hour, I saw four or five similar forks, but there were signs to keep going.

There were no more forks in the river for the next few kilometers, and it was slowly rising, and he finally came to a bright pool.

Charles climbed out of the waterhole and looked around to find himself under a sinkhole.

He is no stranger to the sinkhole, and in his previous life, he had traveled to the Dashiwei sinkhole.

This sinkhole is about 500 meters long and 300 meters wide, and the surrounding cliffs are three or four hundred meters high, and there is a waterfall in the distance, and the water flows into the pool behind it.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, there are lush plants, unknown trees that two or three people can't hold can be seen everywhere, birds chirp endlessly, and many insects can be seen flying.

Charles changed into dry clothes, took out a large knife, and searched carefully.

It was surrounded by vines and weeds, many of the rocks were covered with moss, and there were signs of snakes crawling on the ground.

It wasn't long before he finally found half of a hand-carved slab buried in the soil by the waterhole.

He used his mental power to probe the surrounding underneath and found a stone path buried in the dirt.

So a few rugby zombies cleared the way, knocked through the vines, scared away the poisonous snakes in the grass, and walked along the stone path.

Along the way, Charles spotted a number of low stone walls, boxy, much like carved fields, except that wild plants had covered them.

Judging from the size and quantity of these fields, it does not look like a vegetable growing field, but a medicinal field for growing medicinal herbs.

Eventually, he found a dozen stone houses crawling with vines in the middle of the sinkhole, one of which was enclosed by the roots of a huge banyan tree.

The dozen or so stone houses are arranged in a circle, with a larger stone house in the center, which should be an important building.

Charles didn't rush over, but first explored the surrounding houses, but there was nothing special in them except for a large number of fragments of clay pots and vases, and there were tools such as stone grinders, stone mortars, and stone pestles in several rooms.

Combined with the farmland outside, this may be a place to grow medicines.

Finally he came to the large stone house, which looked like a laboratory, with two long stone tables covered with dust, and in the dusty dirt were some fragments of glassware.

At the other end of the stone house stood a stone cabinet, one of which contained four sealed glass bottles containing an emerald green liquid.

Charles probed carefully with his mental strength, and found that each grid was engraved with a row of elven words - shampoo, conditioner, skin care lotion, mouthwash.

(?? _??)

????????????????

?? l?? l??

Isn't this a human being?

Charles sat on the steps outside, depressed and puffed up his first cigarette in the world.

I thought that after walking such a long way, there was something good waiting for me, but it turned out that this was a whitening product workshop opened by a group of elves many years ago.

He decided to go back and use the power of the royal family, and let the relevant departments check which elf opened it here, and then put small shoes on them or their descendants!

It was already the sun shining, and it was noon, so he decided to eat something and go back.

The surrounding cliffs couldn't bother him, and he climbed a few times to get there.

A snake that is not far away is unlucky, the angler will never be in the air, and the same is true for expeditions, if you don't find a treasure, catch a snake and eat it before leaving.

Before coming out this time, Charles thought that he might sleep in the open, so he went to the Aixi Restaurant to get some things to take with him.

The unlucky snake was slaughtered, washed, chopped into several centimeter long pieces, then put in a pressure cooker, covered with water, and cooked for 15 minutes until cooked. Then put the snake meat in a bowl and mix it with salt, wine, green onion, ginger, and dry starch to marinate. Too lazy to wait for more washing, then pour the water from the pressure cooker directly, put the oil to boil until it is 70% hot, then put in the snake meat and fry it and then take it out, wait for the oil temperature to rise to 90% hot and then put the snake meat into the outside to fry the crispy, take it out, drain the oil, and then sprinkle some pepper and salt.

Fried food is fried over low heat first, and then fried over high heat, so that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This snake didn't know what kind of monster it was, but not only did it taste delicious, but the trace of experience points he got when he killed it made Charles finally rise to level 51.

Just as he was sitting on the steps eating the salt-and-pepper snake segments, someone came.

Charles wasn't surprised that the group behind him would follow him.

The person who came was a four-person team composed of a handsome male swordsman, a cute Lori shield warrior, a beautiful archer girl and an intellectual magician big sister.

The strength of these four people is not weak, that swordsman has Charles seventy percent handsome, and his strength is a little less than Mordred, and the shield warrior looks like the kind of strange power Lori with dwarf blood, and the archer's bow is a strong bow that is difficult for adult men to control, and the "slime" of the mage's big sister can be said to be about to come out.

Charles glanced at them, and it seemed that they were the brave men who had been entertained in the castle next to the town last night.

The handsome swordsman saluted Charles and said, "Hello Your Excellency, did you kill those vampire bats just now?"

Charles was depressed, so he nodded, didn't speak, and concentrated on eating the snake.

The handsome swordsman immediately asked, "May I ask if you can join us......

Charles naturally didn't want to pay attention to this dragon team that didn't even bother to name the author, and he immediately replied: "How much is the salary, is there assistance for overtime, how to set the disability pension standard, and is it assigned a partner?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the four people changed, the face of the handsome swordsman was a little dark, but the other three girls ...... As if shy.

So he said, "You can do whatever you like, I don't like to be disturbed when I eat." ”

Intimidated by the strength Charles had just shown, the four of them didn't dare to talk nonsense, so the handsome swordsman glanced at the other three and walked into the big stone house together.

Charles didn't care, continued to chew on the snake meat, and was about to go back after eating it to see how the curly was doing.

Meeting is fate, no matter whether the girl is taking away or not, the old "help if you can".

Not long after the four men entered the room, there was a burst of exclamations, as if they had found the glass bottles.

Then there was a low-volume argument, and Charles vaguely heard words like "potions" and "getting stronger".

The argument inside the room lasted for a minute, and finally ended with a "coo-coo" sound.

Charles pinched his brows, could anyone be stupid?? Drink the shampoo that has expired for I don't know how many years?
