The torch in the black bull's hand crackled, and the tiger girl told him to hold the torch shorter, he was too tall, and the rushing flames almost ignited the branches above his head several times.

The two white-robed men carried me to the side of the stone face, and the closer I got to the stone face, the more turbulent the water became, which was obviously not the natural flow speed they should have, and then the light of the torch looked underwater, the underwater part of the stone face was entwined with the redundant rhizomes of several banyan trees, and was covered with swirling rotten leaves, and the stone face itself was already covered with moss and moss, which made it look particularly ugly and weird, especially when I got close to it, I couldn't see what it was;

I groped for a long time before I came to the conclusion that this stone face was completely carved and ground from a whole boulder, without any gaps, and what was even more strange was that at the junction of the stone face and the water surface, you could faintly see a water temperature spiral around the stone face, forming a small whirlpool, and the center of the whirlpool was the bottom of the stone face sinking into the water.

I pushed the boulder face, but it didn't move, and the tiger girl noticed the strange shape of the whirlpool, and the torch in the black bull's hand was simply attached to the water so that I could see clearly;

"Shanna, come and see, is there a hole under the water?" , Hu Ya pointed directly below the stone face;

The water surface is very clear, looking in the direction of the tiger girl's finger, there is indeed a vague black shadow there, the black bear is like a heartless gesture to stretch out his feet to test the black shadow, but he is dragged by the tiger girl:

"Don't take any chances, everyone step back," Huya whispered, and the white-robed men had already taken five or six steps back as they spoke;

I felt the rotten leaves in the water, and sprinkled them directly above the black shadow, and in a few moments the rotten leaves were sucked into the black shadow with the turbulence;

"There's a way to the ground under this stone face...", I pouted to the tiger;

"I don't think it's for people, Shanna, you see, this water hole is a separate one, and it is not pressed by the stone face, and the hole is so small, how can people get in?" , Huya shook her head and said;

I nodded lightly and didn't say anything;

"Could it be that someone deliberately drained this water into the ground?" , Huya put her head on the water, looked at the water hole and said;

I suddenly remembered the place where I had just been splashed with water, and said with a whim: "It is also possible that those huge blisters when we waded in the water just now are probably caused by the drainage outlet that was blocked before by us suddenly stepping on, if you want to solve this mystery, let's go back and see if there is a water hole in the place where the water bubbles just appeared."

And the truth was exactly as I expected, almost every hundred steps, there would be a hole in the water, and that was exactly where the blisters had just appeared.

"It's a huge drainage system, made by a master of this size," I said, shaking the transparent stone in my hand and tossing it in front of the tiger;

"Will this water go to those pools? Maybe we'll be able to get back into the hole and get back to the waterhole! She looked at me with a wrung brow;

This is also what I was thinking, although Huya didn't understand what the drainage system was, but what she said was also a possibility, if this is really a drainage hole, then there must be a very polished drainage channel underground;

Since there is a drainage channel, its exit must be a large river or a direct entry into the sea, and I suddenly remembered the big steaming river under the cliff that the bald man had said before, and the water could not lead there;

But herein lies the problem! According to what Huya and the bald man said before, the water source here cannot be drunk, and if you drink it, you will die. In other words, the living water resources here are extremely precious, but why do those people willingly discharge such precious things into the ground?

In addition, such a luxurious drainage system obviously cannot be built by one person, that is to say, the people who lived here before were by no means alone, and to build a drainage system, even in a mechanized and advanced city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it also requires hundreds of people to use tools to lay it.

There used to be so many people living here... I looked at the transparent stone in my hand, and thought to myself that the words written on this stone may not be to guide future generations, but to mark between them.

"Sanna, if the water is really going to the pools, are they trying to store it?" Seeing that I didn't speak, the tiger girl asked again;

Dig deep holes and accumulate grain? I suddenly came up with such a word in my head, this is also a possibility, those waterholes may really be able to drink, we have passed through so many waterholes, those waters must have been intentionally or unintentionally poured into our stomachs a few mouthfuls, at least I am still alive, that means that the water in the waterhole is not poisonous;

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that I still didn't speak, the tiger girl asked coldly;

"I... I wonder if they are trying to drain all the safe water that outsiders can see on the ground and store it in a place where no one can find it, leaving only the poisonous water for outsiders to drink? Unexpectedly, we found the waterhole for water storage first, and reversed all the way to here......";

The more I talked about it, the more I felt that this judgment was the most likely thing to happen.

"But if those waterholes are destroyed, then the people who make them will not die of thirst?" , the hook leaned over and looked at me and asked;

"That's why there are those big white flesh bugs, and they are guarding the waterhole with these white flesh bugs, and anyone who comes close... If it weren't for them, they wouldn't be able to get out of the mudflats by the waterhole," I said firmly;

......

"Shanna, you mean there's no way they're going to let us find our way back, are you?" , Huya asked;

"Theoretically, yes, they won't give outsiders a chance to get close to those waterholes, and they won't build a road to lead us through," I said;

It's a one-way line that goes back and forth!

"Didn't you also say that you searched for more than ten days when I was unconscious, and you couldn't find the exit under the pool?" , I asked Huya;

Huya narrowed her eyes, nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "In this case, let's dig these drainage holes and swim back to the waterhole along the drainage channel." ”；

"Auntie, you must dispel this thought, you are not a fish! The waterway below must be very complicated, and even if it is a fish, it may not be able to find an exit, let alone if any part of it is only as thin as the waist of a hook......";

I glanced at the hook's small waist, and said to the tiger girl seriously, a few words instantly caused the hook to giggle, and the hand unconsciously stretched out to my hand, but suddenly saw the tiger girl with a blue face staring at her waist, and retracted it in a blink of an eye;

"You're so troublesome, I can't see if I dig these holes?" , The black bull, who had been silent beside Huya, suddenly said quietly;

"No! Don't cut off the water veins in the pool, we don't know the consequences, it's best not to get into trouble! I immediately stopped;

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden clicking sound in the dense forest behind us, which was very similar to the sound of a broken branch, and at the same time, the canopy above our heads and the tops of the surrounding trees were also trembling, and the clicking sound was endless, and countless fallen leaves fell into the water with the sound;

Since Yue Yu advanced to this ghost place, saw the stone monument, went deep into the waterhole and then here, we haven't heard the sound in the forest for a long time, and now this kind of anomaly suddenly appeared, and more than a dozen people were instantly startled, and turned their heads to look behind them;

There were many trees, there was nothing behind us, nothing changed except for the fallen leaves in the air and the slightly trembling canopy, the stone face still stood quietly, and gradually, the sound gradually quieted down, and the dense forest returned to that suffocating tranquility again.
