There's a dark river!

Hearing the sound of running water, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I quickly turned on the flashlight handed over by Chen Yun, stretched into the small hole that was chiseled and scanned, the miserable white light shone in the depths of the cave, we saw that there was a dark and heavy dark river flowing there, and at the edge of the dark river, we could see piles of corpses and bones, and we could actually see semi-circular arc-shaped ivory.

"Ivory again, this thing is worth a lot!" Ge Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to plunge into it, I reached out from behind, grabbed his belt buckle, and said You should stop, the dark river is more than ten meters apart, what is the difference between jumping down like this and plunging into the steel plate.

Looking back, I asked Lao Zhong to quickly take the rope, turned out all the nylon ropes we carried with us, measured the length, and found many vines in the broken temple, poked them into hemp rope strips, tied them to the nylon rope, and fixed one end on the door panel of the broken temple, tried to bear the load, and found that there was no problem, and finally decided that Ge Zhuang and I would take the lead, and the old Zhong would be in charge of the back of the palace.

The dark river channel extends in all directions, with many bifurcated tributaries, and from my point of view, there is no way to illuminate the entire structure, indicating that the space under the ground is bound to be very open, and an independent ecological space is completely formed.

I was shocked and said, "How can there be such a huge underground space structure, could this place be the tomb of King Gu Yelang?" ”

"It doesn't look like it." Chen Yun whispered on the side, "No monarch of any dynasty can build the tomb so majestic, although the ancient Yelang Empire has a high degree of civilization, after all, there is no way to compare with today's people, the space under the dark river must be naturally formed." ”

Having said that, this underground space has been sealed for many thousand years, and it is not dangerous to say whether it is dangerous, but after careful consideration, Ge Zhuang and I still put on diving suits, and then tied the rope around our waists, and the person above dragged the other end of the rope to put me in the cave first.

My body was completely suspended in the air, as the nylon rope was lowered little by little, my body gradually approached the dark river, I had a searchlight on my head, and the first task was to figure out whether the current of the dark river under our feet was turbulent.

When the body was completely hung down from the hole, I adjusted the angle of the searchlight, constantly shining around, the white light illuminated the water level of the underground dark river clearly, the water quality of the dark river is clear, the strong light can directly penetrate the bottom of the water, the riverbed has a spiral reef, similar to a reef coral, covered with blue-gray algae, can not be named, a closer look, you can also see the fish walking through the reef, only the length of a little finger, the whole body is transparent, you can see the internal organs.

"Little pumpkin, what's next?" When I looked intently at the dark river under my feet, Ge Zhuang's voice soon sounded above my head.

I looked up and shouted, "It's okay, the water in the dark river is clear, not too deep, the current is not fast, fat man, you can come down." ”

The hole in the top of my head that we had carved out was not large in diameter, and we could only lower the people one after another, and as soon as I said this, I clearly felt that the momentum of the rope falling was much faster than before.

It took about a minute and a half for the rope to fall, and my toes touched the cold dark river, the air in this hellish place was very humid, not the same as the rainforest outside the temple, perhaps because of the lack of sunlight all year round, the dark water was cold and biting, and I felt like I had fallen into an ice hole.

After I got into the water, I quickly reached the bottom with my toes, but fortunately there was a shallow beach here, and the water level of the dark river could only submerge my waist, so I tried to move my body on the soft sand and gravel, and found no abnormality, so I quickly untied the rope tied to my waist and pulled the rope hard.

There was an immediate reaction from above, the old bell pulled the other end of the rope hard, the rope quickly rose, and disappeared at the entrance of the cave in a short time, about two minutes later, another strong light sprinkled down, hit my face, and Ge Zhuang's voice came from my ears, "Little pumpkin, I'm going to come down too!" ”

I said hurry up, it's safe here for the time being, don't delay it!

The sound came far away in the open cracks, I quickly covered my mouth and stopped talking, although there was a dead silence around, but this did not mean that there were no other living creatures in the cracks, the calmer the place, the more terrifying, I want to avoid making any noise to destroy the peace here.

Ge Zhuang's falling momentum was very violent, it only took less than half a minute, it hung down to the top of my head, I reached out to answer, pulled the fat guy down, first untied the hidden button on his waist for him, when the old bell pulled the rope up, Ge Zhuang also began to observe the surrounding environment.

The place where we are should belong to the upper part of the dark river, where the air is humid, and the stone walls are constantly seeping with mountain springs, these water passes through the dark groove in the ground, and flows down the river, thinking of a curved dark river channel, extending to the end of the searchlight, and in the distance it is a deep darkness, and there is nothing to be seen.

The air is not viscous, but has a sweet smell.

Air, moisture, and temperature, these are the three essential elements that create life, and if these three necessary conditions are met, it is possible to give birth to living beings.

The third person to be hung down was Chen Yun, who refused my support after falling into the water, and was also doing the same as Ge Zhuang and me, quickly observing the environment.

Seeing that half of the team had already entered the cracks, I stopped waiting and took the lead towards the shallows around the dark river, with brown sand under my feet, and the sound of "whooshing" paddling as I walked, I tried to slow down my steps, and I could see large small fish playing around me through the clear dark river water, and I could feel them pecking at my clothes and tickling my body through the wetsuit.

I walked for about a minute, and then approached the shoal, after leaving the dark river, what appeared in front of me was a shallow paved with gravel, these stones were crystal clear, all kinds of colors, a bit like rain stones, which could be reflected in the light of the searchlight, and the colors were psychedelic.

I walked to the beach and sat down to rest, I felt as if my butt was choked by something, I quickly got up, pinned the searchlight to the top of my head, leaned over and dug a shallow pit in the sand, and threw me a whole white stone tablet, which was a meter square, embedded under the stone I don't know how deep, and the surface of the stone could faintly see the symbol mark engraved on the seal, which should belong to the words of Gu Yelang.

I don't understand the culture of Gu Yelang, and naturally I can't understand what is expressed in this text, but fortunately, the small chapter in the team has studied this, so I guarded the stone tablet and waited for the small chapter to come over and explain it in detail.

In addition to these symbolic patterns on the stele, there is also a circular groove, which must have been specially made to inlay something, but there is nothing in the groove, and I searched around the shoal, but found nothing.
