Chapter 222: Crossing the Underground River

A dark and damp underworld. Microwave rippling underground river. The flickering points of light are like ghostly fires on the Netherworld Yellow Spring. Swaying. But it seems to be moving closer to us.

I frowned. glanced at the cold moon next to him. But I saw that he had no intention of leaving. He stood there motionless like a sculpture. Just calmly staring at the light.

As the light gets closer and closer. I found that the light turned into a beam. It moves sideways from time to time on the surface of the river. Sometimes it moves vertically. Occasionally it also illuminates where we are. It makes me a little uneasy. The frown did not let go for a long time.

Suddenly. I heard a beep ...... sound coming from that side. The rhythm is steady. It sounds a bit like the sound of a motor.

And the pillar of light that is becoming more and more obvious. It seems to be ...... Searchlight.

Don't. Leng Yue had already arranged for this. These are the ones who came here to receive him.

I looked at the cold moon next to me. Suddenly I felt that this person was terrifying. Inevitably, he will be wary again. Uncontrollably, he took half a step back.

Suddenly. There was a chaotic sound. A large splash erupted on the surface of the river. The splash wet my shoes and trouser legs.

Glance to the side. I just noticed. It was the giant octopus-shaped monster that was dragged into the water by the giant rats.

Shen Dali also walked over at this time. Stand next to me. Look at the ships that are getting closer and closer. whispered to me, "Fifth brother." It looks like someone is coming. ”

Of course I could tell someone was coming. I just don't know. What is the identity of the person who came? Whether it is friend or foe.

I just hope now. These people who came had nothing to do with Mr. Cui. Otherwise, we may be in danger again.

As the "beep" sound gets louder and louder. The light is getting brighter and brighter. I realized. The people on board have noticed us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been shining a searchlight on our side.

I raised my hand to block out the light. Squint and look ahead. Notice a man standing at the bow of the ship at the front. The figure is somewhat familiar.

Finally. Several ships docked. Someone on board went ashore.

A familiar voice suddenly appeared: "Wu Yishu." Shen Dali. Cold Moon. How could the three of you be in this place. ”

I thought the searchlights were too dazzling. I couldn't make out the person who was speaking. But I can be sure of the voice and the content of the words. That person was Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi seems to have noticed this. Hurriedly asked someone to turn the searchlight on the ship at an angle.

I can finally open my eyes. Looking at Zhang Yi, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here." ”

Zhang Yi frowned. Walk briskly. He grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. He lowered his voice and said to me, "We found that there seems to be a special substance with radiation in this underground river. Searching and salvage. Some people say they see people here. Let's find out. But I never thought it would be you. Speaking of which. How did you three end up here. How did you get here. ”

I pointed to the passage where I came and said, "Crawl from there." ”

Zhang Yi followed my direction. Saw the hidden passage entrance. His brows furrowed even tighter: "That's a thief hole." ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know very well either. If it's a cave thief. It's the longest heave I've ever seen. Over there in the cave. It's a tomb that's bigger than this. Maybe. You can take someone to see it. ”

Zhang Yi frowned and asked me, "How dangerous is it?" ”

"It's several times more dangerous than the underground labyrinth in Longshou Mountain. Mr. Cui's people are still over there. But I don't know if it's dead or alive now. ”

Zhang Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment. Look at me again. Vigilantly asked, "You still haven't answered my question." How did you end up here. ”

I don't know how to answer his question. After all, I don't want to tell him about the embossed balls.

It seems that I don't want to tell the truth. Zhang Yi didn't continue to ask me. Instead, he patted me on the shoulder. In a reassuring tone, he said, "Forget it." Let's talk about it when we have something to do. ”

And then. He turned back to the crowd and said, "Xiao Wang." You help take them out. ”

A young man who looked very energetic answered with a "yes". Began to greet us on board.

The semi-solid, half-inflatable kayak they ride. The tail unit has a motor. A small searchlight was attached to it. It seems to be to save power. They turned off their searchlights when they came ashore. Switched to a flashlight.

We were about to get on the boat. suddenly heard Zhang Yi shouting, "Wait a minute." ”

I thought Zhang Yi had something else to explain to me. But when I saw him, he didn't look at me. Walked quickly to the side of Cold Moon. Frowning, staring at the half of the relief ball in Leng Yue's hand.

Leng Yue vigilantly stuffed the embossed ball into her clothes. A pair of green eyes stared at Zhang Yi. The voice was cold, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yi withdrew his gaze from the relief ball. After staring at the cold moon for a moment. Said lightly: "It's okay." ”

And then. He pulled out his pistol. Almost at the same time. Leng Yue clenched the pair of iron chopsticks in her hand.

The iron chopsticks were covered with turbidity at this time. There is cinnabar. There is dirt. There are bodily fluids of giant toads...... Its supposed icy luster is obscured. But it is even more murderous.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly. Carrying a gun, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave where Shen Dali and I came. As he walked, beckoned the others to follow him.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I was really worried that the two of them would have a conflict just now.

After all, there are many people in Zhang Yi here. If it really starts. Take the current state of the cold month. I'm afraid it's hard to deal with.

Xiao Wang had already started the motor of an inflatable kayak at this time. The sound of "toot toot" is a bit harsh.

"Click". He lit the searchlight again. Then he stood on the boat and waved at us. Beckoning us to hurry up and get on board.

I took Leng Yue and Shen Dali on the boat. Remind Zhang Yi to be careful. Then he was carried away by Xiao Wang in a boat.

This underground river is very wide. The water flow is gentle. The bow of the ship breaks through the waves. Smooth travel.

Xiao Wang is more extroverted. One moment he asked if we were from the archaeological team. After a while, I asked Leng Yue if she was wearing luminous contact lenses.

Leng Yue was silent. Just sit on the side of the boat and look down at the water; Shen Dali may be afraid that if you say too much, you will lose. After all, we don't know the identities of Xiao Wang. So he didn't talk much.

To prevent an awkward atmosphere. I had a joke to answer Xiao Wang's question. And then the conversation was full of unnutritious topics.

The boat traveled in the dark for almost half an hour. I borrowed the searchlight. From afar, I saw a huge building ship floating and sinking in the distance.

About ten minutes passed. We arrived at the shore.

It's full of people at this time. Both on and off board. There is no shortage of busy figures.

After Xiao Wang sent us ashore. Placed us on one of his colleagues. He turned the boat around. Go back to Zhang Yi.

Xiao Wang's colleague didn't know who we were. Thought we were a rescue team. It's polite to speak. Took us near the entrance.

At this time. Lifts have been installed here. But it can only be used for one person at a time.

I asked Shen Dali and Leng Yue to go up one after another. I was the last one to go back to the ground.
