Chapter 22: Underground Rivers

"I'm not going to be so unlucky, am I?" Lin Xi was stunned and looked at the huge canyon in front of him like a moat.

He had made sufficient preparations before setting off, and there were two natural hazards in the Sunset Valley in addition to the Falling God Stream, and one of them was the Sunset Gorge here.

It's just that he didn't care where he should run when he was in a hurry, and there was no sun in the sky, so he didn't have any reference area to distinguish the direction, and then he was completely lost.

And now, in front of him was a cliff wall more than a kilometer long, and the other side of the cliff was already out of the range of Sunset Valley. Without any tools, it would have been impossible for him to fly over this canyon nearly 100 meters wide, let alone climb a thousand-meter-high cliff.

He glanced back, and the huge movement coming from the Falling God Stream had disappeared for nearly ten minutes, and most of the mutated creatures had regained their integrity and returned to their habitat, and there were less than ten mutated creatures that continued to chase behind him.

It's just that the weakest of these ten mutant creatures are all third-order, not to mention that he doesn't even have the strength to run now, where does he have the strength to resist?

"Am I really going to die in this place today?" Lin Xi sighed, are his dreams and hopes really going to come to an end today?

Lin Xi is not afraid of death, if he is afraid of death, he will not repeatedly enter the dangerous field training ground. But what he was afraid of was that one day his parents and sisters would see his cold corpse, or not even see the corpse......

"No, I can't die!" He never wanted to see more gray hairs on his parents' heads, and he didn't allow his sister to cry anymore.

"Huh? There is the sound of water? Lin Xi suddenly heard a faint movement from the depths of the Sunset Gorge, the voice was very soft, but in his experience, there was probably an underground river underneath!

He quickly weighed the risks in his heart, if he continued here, he would definitely die when those few mutated creatures caught up, and although it was still extremely dangerous to jump, he didn't even know if there would be any more terrifying creatures at the bottom of the valley.

Obviously, he has no choice, he will die if he stays, and there is still a glimmer of life when he jumps.

"If there really is a god in this world, then please bless me from death!" Lin Xi prayed silently, and then jumped down without hesitation.

In just a dozen seconds, the mutated creatures rushed to the edge of the cliff, they looked at the bottomless valley bottom, wandered around for a moment to make sure that no one was there, so they shook their heads and scattered the area.

The bottom of the valley was filled with boundless darkness, silent as if it was about to swallow people, Lin Xi had fallen at a speed of more than five hundred meters per second, and a strong air current passed through his ears as if it was about to take his entire head away.

"Why is this valley so deep?" Lin Xi felt that he had been down for more than a minute, but he still hadn't reached the end.

But he didn't have any way to slow himself down, his sword was long gone, otherwise he might have been able to rely on the uneven cliff face to slow down his fall.

"Poof!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Xi finally plunged headlong into the icy water, even though the resistance of the water helped him slow down, he had already sunk to a deep place before he stopped falling.

A large gulp of water poured into his mouth and nose, and a cone pain swept towards his head, but Lin Xi knew that he must not pass out, if he passed out, he was afraid that he would drown here.

He bit the tip of his tongue and tried to sober himself up, and waved his arms vigorously, and his legs, which were as heavy as a piece of lead, burst out with force again.

"Whew!"

After a long time, a head finally poked out of the water, Lin Xi breathed in the fresh air around him, and his brain gradually recovered from that state of lack of oxygen.

"This seems to be an underground river at the bottom of the valley?" Lin Xi felt that his body had been moving with the turbulent water.

With the improvement of human fitness, he also has a certain ability to adapt to the dark environment, and after a few minutes, Lin Xi gradually saw the situation at the bottom clearly.

The cliffs on both sides are not wide, only a dozen meters, and it seems that there are no mutated creatures at the bottom of this valley. But Lin Xi had completely lost his sense of direction, he didn't know in what direction this river was flowing, and what would be waiting for him at the end of the river.

Lin Xi grabbed a floating log, his tired body finally got a chance to rest, and the double overdraft of his body and spirit made him fall asleep in an instant.

......

In the No. 7 High School in Suzhou and Hangzhou Base City, Xu Zinuo and Xie Heng stood in Lin Xi's room, they looked at each other facing Lin Xi's communicator, and no one had the courage to dial the number of Lin Xi's family.

"Forget it, I'll do it." Xu Zinuo finally pressed the call button.

Soon, the face of a delicate girl appeared on the screen.

"Brother, aren't you ......" Lin Ling happily connected the communicator, she thought that the training was over early, but there were two unfamiliar faces on the screen, "You are?" ”

"Hello, you're Lin Xi's sister, right? We are his friends, my name is Xu Zinuo, and his name is Xie Heng. Xu Zinuo introduced himself while thinking about how to tell them the bad news.

"Oh, Sister Zinuo, Brother Xie Heng, I heard my brother talk about you, and he said that you are his two best friends." Lin Ling said innocently, she didn't realize that she was going to get a piece of news like the sky was falling apart.

"By the way, Sister Zinuo, where is my brother?" Lin Ling asked, this communicator is obviously Lin Xi's, why didn't he appear himself.

Xu Zinuo couldn't hold back any longer, she quickly handed the communicator to Xie Heng, covered her face and sobbed.

Lin Ling was shocked, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Brother Xie Heng, my brother...... Is something wrong? Lin Ling asked in a trembling voice.

"Lin Ling, I'm sorry, we didn't take good care of him, we had some accidents when we were training in Sunset Valley, and Lin Xi fell into the mutant group of creatures in order to protect us." Xie Heng lowered his head, he felt that he had no face to meet Lin Xi's family.

"Smack!"

The communicator in Lin Ling's hand fell to the ground, and just now, countless possibilities flashed in her mind, maybe her brother was sick, maybe he was injured, maybe he was in trouble at school, but she didn't expect it to be such bad news.

The communicator in Xie Heng's hand was pitch black, and he could only hear bursts of sobbing coming from the other end......

"Xiao Ling, come and open the door, and see what we bought today!" In the evening, Lin Haijun and his wife came back from the company.

However, there was no noise in the house, and as usual, Lin Ling should have jumped to open the door for them.

When the couple opened the door, they were stunned, the communicator on the ground was broken, Lin Ling was lying on the sofa sobbing, and before he knew it, even his eyes became red.

"Dad! Mother! Lin Ling seemed to have finally found a trace of comfort, and his tears continued to flow down like a flood that burst the embankment.

"Xiao Ling, don't worry, what's going on, you say it slowly!" Wang Rong hugged her daughter's head tightly in her arms and stroked it gently.

"Woo woo, Mom and Dad, something happened to my brother." Lin Xi said with a hoarse and vague accent.

Boom!

The things that the couple were carrying in their hands suddenly fell, as if the whole person had received an electric shock.

......

The underground of Sunset Valley is an underground river that extends in all directions, Lin Xi lies on the log and drifts with the waves, the stone walls on both sides become narrower and narrower, almost only accommodating a small boat to pass through.

Following these channels, it runs from west to east throughout Sunset Valley, and finally rests on a shoal. No one knows that all rivers have only one end point in the end, that is, the Falling God Stream, which is said to be the god of war and has no return, because everyone who knows it is dead.
