Chapter 295: Underground River
The river is choppy, the waves are blooming, and they are flowing towards the dark and unpleasant. Approaching the river, a cold and moist breath passed through, Sha Dutian had jumped into the river for a few minutes, and he had not seen his head show for a long time, Shen Zhutian stood by the river and shouted: "Lao Sha, Lao Sha, where the hell are you dead?" ”
There were echoes from the empty caverns, and in addition to the rustling of running water, there was also restlessness overhead. After some restlessness, the bottom of the cliff fell silent, and the flower-eater stopped roaring, even the sound of heavy breathing stopped, and then there was a faint sound of footsteps. "Elder Ranfeng, there is a cave here."
Ge Yiyun whispered: "It's not good, they're coming down, what should we do?" Everyone raised their heads upwards and remained vigilant, and the four of them all extinguished the wolf tooth lamp, only to hear someone above say: "It's black and rumbling down there, you can't see anything, they must be below." "Throw a torch down."
Then, a fire fell from the sky, hovering slowly in the air, and landed quickly, and it fell to the ground in two seconds, and with a bang, the torch was not extinguished because it fell heavily on the ground, and the sparks on the torch flew in all directions like fireflies. The weak light of the torch illuminated the small area, most notably the two flower-eating beasts on the ground.
The four of them retreated into the darkness, their steps were light, and they did not make the slightest sound, and suddenly, a word came from above: "I know that you are down there, and those who know each other should be arrested, otherwise, hum." Ge Diranfeng has lost his patience, not only have a few of his subordinates been injured, but what is even more odious is that Ge Diyan and a few people actually hid.
There was no echo in the cave, let alone any sound, "Elder Ranfeng, will they run away?" When she heard this, she knew that she had observed this place since she came down, except for the direction of the river, all other places were dead ends, and even where the river flowed from was unknown.
Sure enough, Ge Ranfeng said: "Whether you escaped or not, you can see it at a glance." A few ropes hung down from the hole, and a few figures slid down the rope in a flicker. The leader was Ge Yan Feng, he only brought six people down, with his own ability, the five people of Ge Yan were not his opponents at all, so he knew such a few people.
How could the light released by the burning torch be compared to the wolf's tooth lamp, the fire was bright, occasionally crackling, and it was difficult for six torches to illuminate all the holes. It was quiet in the cave, the water was murmuring, and there was a chill, "Elder Ranfeng, there seems to be water there." Someone finally discovered the underground river, Ge Ran Feng walked straight over, and soon saw the underground river, the river was silent, flowing silently.
"You see, there are traces of water there, and they must have left them." Ge Di Ranfeng saw the water trail and snorted, "Elder Ge Di, are we chasing or not?" Ge Ranfeng's eyes tightened and said, "What do you say? ”
The underground dark river flows forward continuously, and the right side of the underground dark river is lined with rocks, although it is difficult to gain a foothold, but it is still possible to walk on it, Ge Ran Feng took a closer look at the stones, there is no trace of marks on the stones, Ge Ran Feng seems to see what clues, he snorted again.
"Did Elder Ranfeng find anything?" Ge Ranfeng said, "It's nothing. He found that there were no footprints on the rocks, and there was a puddle of water at the water's edge, it was obvious that the Ge Yan people ran away from the waterway, he walked to the river, stretched out his hand into the river, and the feeling of extreme cold hit his heart, this is already extremely deep underground, the water is biting, even the Ge Di people do not dare to go down to the river easily, he sighed slightly and said: "Ge Diyong, I remember that you are very familiar with this area, right." ”
Ge Yong said, "Elder Ranfeng, you mean... I have explored the terrain here, there is an extremely deep valley dozens of miles away from the Black Poison Valley, there is a river there, that river seems to have appeared out of thin air, and there is no source, could it be that..."Ge Ran Feng said: "It seems that it is, the river you are talking about is probably this underground dark river." ”
Ge Diyong said happily: "Elder Ranfeng is really wise, and his subordinates are willing to bow down. Ge Ranfeng said, "Okay, let's go up immediately." The seven of them quickly got out of the cave, and after reaching the bottom of the cliff, Ge Ranfeng said: "The six of you are staying here, as long as someone comes out, you will attack immediately." "Yes!"
Ge Di Ranfeng left the bottom of the cliff with the rest of the Ge Di people.
It turned out that Shen Zhutian actually brought a simple raft, the raft was very small, barely able to seat four people, and when they landed, the four of them got on the raft and left quickly along the river, so there were some traces of water left on the bank, which is why Ge Ranfeng thought of the flow of the underground dark river.
Ge Diranfeng didn't know that Ge Diyan and the others were temporarily planning to leave along the underground darkness, and he thought that Ge Diyan and the others had already prepared a way out, so he left in a hurry. If Ge Diyan and the others knew that Ge Diran Feng would leave like this, I am afraid that the few of them would not take such a big risk and go away.
The river is not turbulent, Shen Zhutian has always been worried about Sha Dutian's safety, they have not found any trace of Sha Dutian along the way, Qi Lenghan even braved the huge cold to dive under the water and did not find any trace of Sha Dutian, and finally, they came to a conclusion at the moment of emergency: "Sha Dutian is likely to be washed forward by the current." That's why they decided to slide forward on the raft.
On both sides of the dark river are all kinds of strange stalagmites, and in some places there are even gems, reflecting the colorful glow under the reflection of the wolf's tooth lamp. The further you go, the more cold the air becomes, and the underground river is like flowing into an ice cellar, and the surroundings are unusually quiet, except for the sound of running water, there is no sound, maybe it is too cold here, so no creatures survive here.
Gradually, ice floes appeared on both sides of the river, and white ice slag was frozen on the bank, but the temperature here was not the average bottom, but fortunately, the four of them were all practicing families, and they could endure such a cold, but in such a cold situation, they couldn't endure it for long.
Suddenly, there was a whirlpool in front of the river, Qi Lenghan kept looking ahead, and he said, "Everyone be careful, there is a whirlpool ahead." I saw a whirlpool with a diameter of one meter born in the middle of the dark river, the vortex seemed to be very feminine, the speed of the raft was very slow, Shen Zhutian was a little anxious, he said: "Second brother, what should we do, can't we rush over?" ”
Qi Lenghan said, "Quickly find a way to get to the shore." As soon as he finished speaking, the raft was firmly sucked in by a huge force, and the speed of the raft became faster and faster. It was too late, it was too fast, Ge Diyan had already prepared the climbing rope, she quickly made a circle and threw it towards the rocks on the shore, and the rope happened to be set on the stones impartially.
As soon as the rope was lassoed around the stone, a huge tension was generated on the rope, which showed that the suction force of the vortex was very large. The raft finally slowed down its downward trend, but the suction of the whirlpool was still strong, and if they did not get to shore in time, I am afraid they would not be able to compete with the suction of the whirlpool.
The raft was not far from the river bank, there was a distance of two meters, Ge Yanyan was the first to jump up, and Ge Yanyun followed and jumped over, followed by Shen Zhutian, Qi Leng Han Palace. As soon as Ge Diyan came ashore, he tightened the rope to ensure that the people behind him went ashore smoothly. Fortunately, many of the stones here were frozen, so it was much easier for them to settle down, and one of them didn't stop well, slipped and fell to the ground, and almost fell into the river, Shen Zhu Tiandi was very stable, and as soon as he landed, he grabbed Ge Yiyun, and Ge Yiyun stabilized his body.
At this time, the raft was already at the edge of the whirlpool, it had become an inclined trend, Qi Lenghan did not dare to move, he tried to maintain the balance of the raft, trying to prevent the raft from overturning, Shen Zhutian hurriedly said: "Second brother, come up quickly." The three of them pulled the rope hard, Qi Lenghan had been gathering strength, he drank loudly, jumped up, and finally jumped up.
At the moment when Qi Lenghan jumped over, the raft finally lost its balance and immediately flipped on its side, and the four of them looked at the small vortex, and no one dared to believe that this small vortex had such a terrifying suction. Shen Zhutian immediately thought of Sha Dutian, and he said: "We haven't seen Lao Sha after walking so far, will he..."
Ge Diyan's face was solemn, Ge Diyun's gaze was dim, and only Qi Lenghan said, "Third brother, he should still be alive." Shen Zhutian's eyes lit up and said, "Really? Second brother, but there is a whirlpool here, how did he get there? Qi Lenghan was careful, he pointed to a place ten meters away and said, "You see, there is a rag there, judging from the color and material, it should be his." ”
Including Ge Yiyan, he only saw the rag at this time, Shen Zhutian stared at the rag and said happily: "Yes, it is indeed Lao Sha's, hey, where does this road lead?" "There is an obvious path ahead of the rags. Ge Diyan said, "I'll take a look." Qi Lenghan stopped: "It's unusually cold here, the situation is complicated, we'd better not separate." Ge Diyan agreed with Qi Lenghan's point of view.
The four of them walked along the path for a few minutes, and the surrounding area became more and more cold, and in some places there was even light blue ice. At the end of the road was a hole with icicles around it, and a few pieces of broken ice had fallen from the ground, apparently from which someone had knocked it down. Shen Zhutian said: "Presumably Lao Sha must have gone inside." ”
Qi Lenghan said: "It seems that it is." ”
The four of them entered the cave one after another, and the sight before them made them hesitate for a moment, then shocked. I saw that this is an extremely empty underground world, the space is as large as a parade square, there is a circular thing in the middle of the square, which is covered with ice, and its essence cannot be seen, and it is faintly a black thing.
There seemed to be many fortifications around the round object, and Qi Lenghan, Ge Diyan, and Shen Zhutian immediately thought that this was some kind of secret military base.
