Chapter 21 Artificial River

Whether the statue is dead or alive, or something else, when we fell into the water before, it didn't attack us, which means that we are safe for the time being, and I don't look at it anymore, for fear that this guy is really conscious, and it will not be good if I am staring at it.

What I am most curious about at the moment is the origin of this man-made river. This river channel is obviously artificially opened, the river is very deep, but the riverbed is not wide, there are obvious traces of artificial excavation nearby, I can't see the specific age of the product, but it is certain that it has flowed here for a long time, the stone walls on both sides of the river have begun to weather, plus there is air circulation, so the landform here is very different from before its birth.

I was soaked, and after standing for a while, I felt a little chill in my limbs, and although the water was very warm, we couldn't run under the water all the time, and the tunnel was connected to the outside, and from time to time there was a cold wind blowing over, and the people who moved were shivering.

"It seems that the first wolf has been to this place before, probably deliberately attracted us here, so that with the help of the power of those zongzi, they want to destroy us, the hostile forces are very cunning, I didn't expect a beast to be so insidious!" Ge Zhuang was still thinking about the wolf, gritting his teeth with hatred, eager to catch up with the wolf and chop it up.

I couldn't bother looking for the wounded wolf anymore, so I continued to look around for a while, and suddenly asked, "Will there be a hot spring here?" ”

"Hot springs?" Chen Yun was a little surprised, sniffed in the air, nodded and said, "It's really like, I asked about the smell of sulfur." ”

Ge Zhuangle said happily, "It seems that hedonism began to sprout thousands of years ago, little pumpkin, if this is really one of the ruins of the Yanyang female tribe, it can only mean that the ancients would enjoy it, and they actually dug a hot spring artificially, and they will be buried here when they die, which is a typical hedonism." ”

I didn't pay any attention to Ge Zhuang's words, I originally wanted to judge the source by observing the flow direction of the artificial river, but after looking at it for a long time, I only felt like stagnant water, so I could only choose a random direction, and at least half of the chance I could get out of here.

From the meteorological flow just now, I judged that this cold wind should be drifting from the left position, indicating that it has been following the left bank and should be able to find the direction to communicate with the outside world.

In order to save power, I asked everyone to turn off the excess flashlight and walk along the river wall, the artificial river is a little long, at least the strong flashlight can not penetrate the bottom, indicating that in this winding underground river, we still have to walk a long distance, what will happen in front of me, I can't determine for a while, I can only remind everyone to cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points.

We walked forward on the embankment, cautiously staring at the movement in the river and seeing the situation in the river all the way, clear and clear, the water was not turbulent, it flowed very quietly, but the quieter it was, the more strange I felt in my heart, what is the meaning of this artificial river?

After walking a little further, I could clearly feel that the water temperature was a few degrees higher, the closer to the source, the higher the water temperature became, and I wondered if I was going the other way, the hot spring came from the ground, and the higher the water temperature, the lower the position we were in.

Just when I was wondering if I was leading everyone to go the other way, Ge Zhuang suddenly pointed to the other side and said, "Little pumpkin, look, we seem to have gone to the end!" ”

I was overjoyed, hurriedly quickened my pace, and followed Ge Zhuang to run over, but after seeing the environment at the end clearly, my mood was a little heavy, and I couldn't imagine that the end was like this.

On the extended river, a stone wall suddenly appeared, like a sluice gate, cutting off the river of the man's division of labor, and there was no road ahead, except for the bare stone wall, there was no other way out.

Seeing this scene, everyone became a little disappointed, and their emotions were not too high.

Without waiting for this feeling of loss to spread completely, Chen Yun suddenly pointed to a pool of blood on the ground and said, "No, look at this pool of blood, it should be left by the injured wolf before, which means that it also passed through here just now, but we didn't find the exit, could it be that the exit is hidden underwater?" ”

That's right!

Chen Yun's words made me regain some confidence, the artificial river here is flowing, not a pool of stagnant water, indicating that under this river, there will inevitably be a channel through which the water flows.

Fortunately, there is a road on the side of the stone wall that extends to the left, and the first person to find this road is Lao Zhong. Since there is a corridor here, there must be a connection under the waterway, but I don't know how long this undercurrent corridor is, and whether it can be passed by people.

When we got here, the smell of sulfur in the water became stronger, and I felt that we were going the other way, maybe after passing through this stone wall, we would go deeper underground, but as soon as I proposed to go back, I was opposed by Ge Zhuang and Chen Yun.

Ge Zhuang said that we finally came here, at least we have to test and test first, what kind of scene is this underwater, maybe this dark river happens to figure out the ruins of the Yanyang female tribe?

As we looked at the next step, we found that the stone wall was not completely sealed, and several holes emerged at the end of the submerged water, some large and some small, but they were hidden by the current, so we didn't see clearly at first.

These holes, as if they were also dug by hand, are large and small, and have different diameters. Ge Zhuang first probed on the surface of the water, and was eager to enter the water, but I didn't stop him. If you want to find out the details of this underground river, which cannot be avoided when you go into the water, since the dead fat man has shown such a strong interest, I will send him to take the lead.

Ge Zhuang took off his shirt, slowly dived into the water under our gaze, collapsed to find a slightly larger hole, and dived in to confirm that this hole was still a little smaller than Ge Zhuang's size, I saw him try several times, but he didn't completely squeeze his body in, just wanted to say fatty, you come back and scream, but I saw bubbles bubbling on the water, and Ge Zhuang's body in the water twisted unnaturally, kicking his legs, as if he was struggling.

This is obviously a sign of drowning, I quickly handed over the flashlight to Chen Yun, threw off the weight on my body, and immediately jumped into the water, but I was very strange in my heart, with the water nature of this dead fat man, how could it be that he suddenly drowned, could it be something underwater?

Thinking of this, I was not calm, took a deep breath and dived into the water, and sure enough, I found that Ge Zhuang's body was tightly attached to the stone wall, and most of his head poked into the hole, but it was not like he took the initiative to reach in, his limbs were desperately beating the stone wall, his legs were slamming hard, struggling more and more, and he wanted to pull his head out several times!
