"Ah, I didn't expect that the foothold from the second underground floor to the third floor is a waterhole." Zhao Bin said as he teased the water.

"The water is clear, and it's clear that it's connected to the outside, but this depth is ...... Underground river? Yang Qianyu crossed his hands and held his chin and muttered to himself.

"Well, the walls of the cave on this level have not been renovated, and it seems to be a natural underground cave." Song Fei stood on the edge of the cave wall, rubbing the cave wall and said.

"Hey! Buddies! Ruan Kunpeng waded through the water, pointed to a place and said, "There is a small boat parked in that direction, and there is a man-made stone road at the shore leading to other places. ”

"Oh? Let's get over there. Seeing this, Li Xiang hurriedly said. Having said that, it sucks in water like this. ”

"That's it."

"Let's go."

"It's hard to have watered boots."

Everyone echoed as they marched in the direction Ruan Kunpeng pointed out.

"Hey! Is it time to face up to this problem?! Han Shan, who was the last to fall into the pool, couldn't help but shout: "Together, you didn't realize that you were soaked in the water, hey?!" ”

"Ahh

"Anyway, it's good to find a way out."

"Let's go, let's go."

A group of people said with a grin.

"What. It's obviously because he fell into the water and became a soup chicken unwillingly, so he managed to pull more people into the trick, right? Right? It must be, right? Han Shan followed behind angrily, muttering and complaining. Sometimes I can't stand these guys......"

Han Shan's complaint is indeed good, this is the collective thought of all the companions who have been recruited.

When Shi Jinxin took the lead in entering the third floor, he didn't expect that the foothold of the staircase connecting the third floor underground was actually an underground cave pool, and as soon as he landed, he was immersed in a soup chicken. At first, Shi Jinxin thought that he had fallen into a trap, but he soon found out that this was just a simple waterhole, and there were no other unusual places before he put his mind at ease. It's just that he deliberately didn't remind everyone to pay attention to the foothold when he signaled his companions to come down, which led to the second Zhang Boyin who followed him also becoming a soup chicken. And in line with the principle of 'one pain is better than all pain', Zhang Boyin did not remind his follow-up partners to pay attention, and the result was that Liu Dongxu, who came down the third time, was tricked. Then there was the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...... Until Han Shan, who came down last. The entire team of thirty-two people did not escape.

As companions for more than ten years, they have been playing tricks on each other, and things like this one person getting tricked and dragging everyone into the water are naturally not less, and it is not done by one person. However, playing is playing, and everyone can still distinguish the priorities. For example, Shi Jinxin, who was exploring the way in front of his head, if he really fell into the trap, then he would definitely issue a warning as soon as possible to let the companions who followed him beware, instead of letting the latecomers fall for it.

After wading ashore, everyone stopped for a moment to pack their bags. Although the water in the pool soaked everyone's body up and down, in fact, there was no other inconvenience except for feeling uncomfortable. Everyone first lifted the battle state of wearing the Inheritance God Costume, changed back to the image of wearing home clothes, and then redressed again and returned to the battle state of wearing the Inheritance God Costume. After coming and going like this, the inheritance god costume that was originally soaked in water changed back to a dry and tidy appearance.

"I don't have to pay for a dry cleaner to dry my clothes." Yang Qianyu couldn't help but joke as he looked at his equipment that had become neat again.

"Dry cleaners across the Iber continent will hate us to death." Fu Bin complained: "If we popularize this method of dressing." ”

"Fortunately, it can't be popularized." Yang Qianyu shrugged. The companions around him immediately burst into laughter when they heard this.

After a short warm-up joke, the group regrouped into an exploration formation and searched along the stone path.

The road on the third basement level was very dark, and everyone had to light the torches again, and walk one foot deep and one foot shallow. After zigzag and stumbling for a distance of more than 100 meters, another hall appeared in front of everyone.

"Huh?" Fu Bin looked at the map showing the surface, and then at the road map drawn along the way, and after calculating the length of the distance, he let out a soft exclamation in dismay. "I'm afraid we're in a position away from the castle of Bathory on the ground."

"What?!" Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and Li Xiang hurriedly asked, "Then where are we now?" ”

Fu Bin pointed to the map and replied: "According to the calculation, the depth of our current position should be about one hundred and twenty meters underground, and the coordinates are located on the north-west side of the castle, and the distance is between one hundred and thirty meters and one hundred and fifty meters......

"Wait a minute!" Yang Qianyu suddenly remembered something, and interrupted in astonishment: "In this way, wouldn't this area on the ground where we are located ......?"

"Exactly." Without waiting for Yang Qianyu to finish speaking, Fu Bin nodded and responded affirmatively: "We are under the lake on the north side of the castle. ”

"What!"

"Won't it?"

"How is this possible?"

The crowd was amazed.

It is surprising that with the level of architecture of the world of Iber, it is difficult to describe the difficulty of excavating a secret chamber as large as the Batholi Castle in an area with a dense water source such as a lake. It was impossible for the Duchy of Batoli to have the financial resources and time to build it at that time, and it is even more impossible for the current Kingdom of Tristram to build such an underground complex in the rear of the kingdom's territory (according to the full map of the territory of the Kingdom of Tristram, the southern counties occupied by the former Duchy of Batoli did belong to the rear).

There is only one explanation that makes sense.

Relics of an ancient civilization.

At that time, the castle of Batholi was built on the remains of an ancient civilization.

The establishment of the Duchy of Bathory also started with the remnants found in the ruins it occupied as capital, and eventually became a state-level power that had been divided for three hundred years.

If it weren't for the bad luck of running into the more powerful Tristram Kingdom, maybe the Duchy of Batoli would have been able to continue to be inherited.

However, now is not the time to discuss this issue in detail, and after learning that the group is now located in the underground palace at the bottom of the lake, they are acting more and more cautiously. God knows if any of the organs of the dungeon are related to the lake above, in case the lake water is poured into the dungeon, then everyone will only have the only ending of drowning here.

However, everyone's worries seem to be unnecessary. I don't know if there is no such mechanism designed in the dungeon, or if there was this dungeon first, and then Hu Bo appeared because of the changes in the surface. In short, until everyone entered the main hall on the third floor, the situation of the water flooding the underground palace that they were worried about did not happen.
