119, Exploration of the Dragon's Lair [4/10]

This seemingly incomparably fierce black Jiao was lying in the deep pool of corpses under the combined attack of Wang Zheng and Chunli.

The legionnaires who watched the battle from afar, as well as the workers in the quarry, immediately cheered loudly, and all looked at Wang Zheng and Chunli with awe.

When feeling the invincibility of the "Legion Commander", a strong sense of security also rose in people's hearts - even the mythical and legendary "Jiaolong" can be killed alive and ...... It's not that scary.

"I don't have any experience! Is this black Jiao really a local monster? Even if you eat people and kill them, you have no experience when you kill them? ”

Wang Zheng muttered to himself, looked back and waved his hand at the cheering soldiers and workers, in exchange for more enthusiastic cheers.

He smiled, looked back at the cave where the black dragon had jumped out, and said, "I suspect there is something strange in this cave. If the predecessor of this black Jiao was just an ordinary black snake, then judging from the degree of evolution of General Tie, the growth speed of this black Jiao was inevitably too fast. How many days has it been? It's grown into such a behemoth. ”

Chunli said: "Then what if it's a Jiao in the first place?" ”

Wang Zheng said: "It's unlikely. After all, Jiao, a legendary creature, must be inseparable from water and aura. The Jade Dragon Pond has been dry for decades, and there is no water to raise Jiao. And the aura only began to revive after the outbreak of the plague of living corpses. With the natural environment before the disaster, it is impossible to raise a dragon in the dry Jade Dragon Pond. It must be that after the revival of the aura, there was some kind of change in the depths of the source of the Jade Dragon Pond. ”

Chunli said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Gotta go in and take a look."

Wang Zheng said: "We must find out what happened inside." If you leave it alone, maybe in a few days, a man-eating evil dragon will pop out of it. ”

Chunli said: "Then I'll accompany you in to investigate." ”

Wang Zheng nodded, "Let's scoop up the corpse first." ”

After that, he jumped into the pool, hugged the tail of the Jiao, and dragged the corpse weighing more than ten tons out.

After a little effort, with the help of Chunli, the corpse was finally dragged out of the deep pool.

At this time, the soldiers and workers slowly surrounded them, and looked at the huge corpse that was still fierce after the death, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed for a while, and exclaimed repeatedly. Looking at Wang Zheng's eyes, he became more and more awe-inspired.

Wang Zheng first arranged a team of quarrymen to send the wounded soldiers back to the base, and then asked Liu Shuyao to take the soldiers to guard the corpses, while he and Chunli leaped to the mouth of the cave opposite the deep pool, and stepped into the cave against the flow of water to explore the source of the Jade Dragon Pond.

The water in the cave is waist-deep and full of momentum. Under the washing of hundreds of years of water, the bottom of the cave and the two walls have already become as slippery as jade, and it is impossible for ordinary people to stand still under the washing of the water.

But for Wang Zheng and Chunli, it's not a problem.

Standing waist-deep in the water, they walked steadily on the slippery ground, against the oncoming current, towards the depths of the cave. After walking more than 20 meters, the cave was already pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In this almost completely lightless environment, even with Wang Zheng and Chunli's eyes, they could not see how far away, and could only judge the direction and grope forward by hearing and the surging air.

After walking forward for a while, they turned two corners, and in front of them, a faint light suddenly came, and it was no longer as dark as before.

The two of them lifted their spirits, accelerated their speed, and walked forward a little further, and suddenly a huge hole the size of a large stadium suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

The cavity was in the shape of a dome, and the bottom of the cave was waist-deep in water. There are also countless strange crystals submerged in the clear and pure water, shining with beautiful glow, shining this hollow sparkling, like a fairyland.

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at those strange spars that were blue or purple, blue or white, like stars in the sky, shining under the water, Chunli couldn't help but let out an exclamation, revealing a bit of girlish feelings.

"That black Jiao, it used to live here?"

Wang Zheng looked around, nodded and said, "The environment here is quite a bit of a fantasy, and it really looks like a place to raise Jiao. But I remember that in the depths of the source of the Jade Dragon Pond, it didn't seem to be like this originally? ”

After the water of the Jade Dragon Pond dried up, this source cave naturally often had people come in to explore.

There are even some mystics who come to explore the cave according to the ancient legend of "Jade Dragon Flying to the Sky", hoping to find clues of the "real dragon".

However, in the cave of the source, there is no beauty worth looking forward to, and there is no trace of a dragon.

It is said that in the depths of this cave, there is a small grotto, and there is not even a single beautiful stalagmite or stalactite.

The floor of the grotto is full of long, narrow, bottomless cracks. From the topography, it is speculated that before the water in the Jade Dragon Pond dried up, the water gushing out of the cave was the groundwater that emerged from those cracks.

The original appearance of Jade Dragon Pond is so disappointing.

However, today, when Wang Zheng and Chunli went deep into the source, they saw a strange beauty that the previous explorers had never seen.

From a "small grotto" to a huge cavity the size of a large stadium; From an ordinary grotto with no stalactites, it has become a fantasy place under the water, full of strange crystals as beautiful as stars, gorgeous like a fairyland......

Such earth-shaking changes have exceeded imagination.

Wang Zheng touched his chin and muttered, "The space has become a little larger, and it can barely be explained by the changes caused by geological movements...... But when the space becomes so large, how much geological movement must have taken place? In that case, the valleys, caves, and deep pools outside would have been badly deformed, or even ceased to exist......

"And these hedrons...... If it's all natural growth, how many years does it have to take to have this scale? None of this can be explained by normal logic......"

At this time, Chunli suddenly said: "Wang Zheng, you say, the appearance of that black Jiao, will it be related to these crystals?" Will these hedros at the bottom of the water emit some kind of radiation that promotes the growth and mutation of the black jiao? ”

When Wang Zheng heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "If you can't explain it with normal logic, then contact the legend...... Reasoning in a 'mythical' way! ”

He rubbed the stubble on his chin with his index finger and said slowly:

"If the legend of the Jade Dragon's ascension to heaven hundreds of years ago is true, then we might as well regard this cave as the lair of a jade dragon - perhaps, this is also the last place on the land of China, where there are remnants of spiritual energy, so there will be a jade dragon nesting here. The cave we see at this moment may be the original appearance of the Jade Dragon's lair.

"And hundreds of years ago, after the Jade Dragon ascended to heaven and the Dragon's Nest was vacant, for some reason that we can't understand - maybe it's a seal? Maybe it's an illusion? Maybe it's the formation? In short, the dragon's nest was hidden from its original appearance, and it was transformed into an ordinary grotto that the explorers saw, without any surprises.

"Hundreds of years later, the heavens and the earth changed, the aura recovered, and under the impact of the aura, the unknown reason that covered the original face of the dragon's nest failed, and the dragon's nest showed its original face. At this moment, a black snake swam into the cave and luckily came to the dragon's lair, infected by the remnants of the jade dragon's 'dragon qi', and affected by these ...... under the water."
