Chapter 90: The Underground Lake

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

This passage, meandering, no more than two meters wide, three meters high, although there is no lack of traces of artificial excavation and paving along the way, but I don't know whether it is in disrepair or often washed by groundwater, many places have been littered with stones. Cha Wenbin is okay to go, but he suffers from the three-legged toad, if it weren't for this guy's rough skin and thick flesh, I'm afraid he would have been scratched all over his body.

Cha Wenbin had to stop and wait for it often, or help move some gravel, the process was much slower than before, and his feet had been soaked in water, and his calves gradually became a little numb, but now he had to grit his teeth and insist on walking in. Judging from the topography, they have been going up, and the power provided by the spotlights has become dim again, telling him that the time to hold on is running out, patting the two sets of batteries left in the bag, Cha Wenbin estimated that he had to walk for another while before he could reach the end, so he could only turn back.

This way, similar to the bronze tree in front, five more were found one after another, and there were more or less corpse remains under each tree, and no new trees had appeared after walking more than three miles at this time. Cha Wenbin thought that since it was a sacrificial venue, the place where the blood was collected should not be far from the altar, otherwise this basin of blood would have to be coagulated, which was a great disrespect to the gods in the blood sacrifice. The ghost thing didn't find anything along the way, except for the echo of his own footsteps.

He also tried his best to choose from some of the rocks that were exposed to the water, so that he could save a lot of physical strength, and the consumption of heat energy for the human body was huge when he traveled at low temperatures, except for the occasional one or two small baby fish passing by in this passage, it was a small fish without eyes. Cha Wenbin thought that if he was really hungry and couldn't stand it, he could only catch some small fish to pad his hunger, but he didn't pay so much attention to it in this wilderness, his main purpose now was to survive, get out of this area safely, and then join Chaozi and take Lao Wang and them to the hospital.

After walking for a while, he heard the sound of water flowing in his ears, Cha Wenbin didn't feel that he quickened the pace of his feet, and after passing through several piles of rocks, he finally saw a huge underground lake again.

Taking advantage of the rest time, I prepared the group of batteries, and I was not willing to throw away the old ones, but I just put them in my bag, and before the new batteries were put in, I only heard a "plop" sound. There was a splash of water on the face. Hurriedly turned on the spotlight again, and after a closer look, the three-legged toad next to him was gone.

I was looking up carefully, a ripple in the water crossed, and a yellow figure floated up, good guy, who is this not a three-legged toad, the feeling is that I haven't been in the water for a long time, seeing such a big lake, can I not be excited to go into the water? After paddling in the lake a few times, some swam towards the shore, Cha Wenbin was about to pat the tip of its nose, but looked down and saw the scene he didn't want to see the most: the bones were so thin that they covered the entire bottom of the water to form a road, overlapping each other and spreading into the distance, and there was a white swaying piece as far as the eye could see, which was the same as the white bone cold pool under the ancient well.

Cha Wenbin squatted down and took a closer look, and the slight difference from the waterhole in front of him was that the bones here were much larger and thicker, basically all of them were animals, especially those horns and horns were very obvious, because the water surface was not purely static, so he couldn't tell how many animals there were here.

Although he could be sure that this was not human, he also looked very dazzling, thinking of the bronze trees used to collect blood outside, Cha Wenbin guessed that this was almost the altar. It seems that most of these animals were used as tributes to the gods back then, and looking at the white bones, you can imagine how huge the scene of sacrifice here was.

The three-legged toad jumped out of the water and squatted beside Cha Wenbin, and the body that had been re-moistened by the water regained its previous vigor, and its eyes were brighter. provoked Cha Wenbin and said, "Man, let me come in just to take you to take a bath?" ”

The toad obviously disdained the thoughts of a villain like him, and with a "croak", he jumped into the water again, pouring Cha Wenbin with a cold heart. When it came out of the water again, it just floated quietly on the surface of the water through Cha Wenbin, and seeing that Cha Wenbin didn't move halfway, the toad swam forward for a short while, swam back to him again, and turned around.

Although Cha Wenbin didn't understand the toad language, he still cooperated a little tacit understanding along the way, looking at the three-legged toad's behavior, Cha Wenbin asked: "Man, are you going to let me sit on your back?" ”

The three-legged toad kicked its hind legs in the water and shouted, "Quack." ”

Cha Wenbin had cold sweat on his forehead, he had seen riding a buffalo in the river, riding a toad......

There's no one here anyway, so let's try it if it's really here to carry itself? Even if it wasn't, he took a bath, and after seeing that the three-legged toad hadn't moved for a long time, Cha Wenbin jumped down and happened to jump on his neck. The three-legged toad's body is quite sturdy, but it's a little slippery, but fortunately, it reacts quickly, and it doesn't let itself fall off by holding his neck.

After struggling a few times, he was finally able to sit firmly, and the three-legged toad kicked on three legs, and it really carried him slowly towards the center of the lake. The more you go to the middle, the depth of the water is getting shallower and shallower, which is completely out of Cha Wenbin's expectations, because of the relationship between the water flow, the middle is always the deepest, and it is good to pour here, this shallowest place Cha Wenbin estimated that it was his neck.

Finally, they came to what seemed to be the middle place, and there was a strange thing in the center that there were no bones anymore, and Cha Wenbin looked around, and there were a total of five such bone passages that stretched out from here in five directions. One of them leads to the place where they came, and the remaining four should also be on their own edges.

The five bone passages were all kept at a distance of about five meters from the middle, leaving a small circular body of water to be vacated.

One thing that makes Cha Wenbin puzzled is where is the source of the water here? Because there was no sign of water flowing around, there were bare stone walls all around, and the top of the head was relatively high and black, and I didn't see a hole in it, and if I couldn't find the source, it meant that I might have gone to the end.

Just thinking about it, because of the numb calf that had been soaked in the water for a while, there was a little warm feeling, and the feeling became stronger and stronger, as if someone was gently stroking, very comfortable, and when his nerves began to recover, he noticed that little abnormality. It wasn't anyone's touch, it was from the current!

Bent down and tried it with his hands, sure enough, the water temperature here was a few degrees higher than outside, and it was bubbling up, Cha Wenbin carefully watched the changes in the water lines under his feet, and some impurities were surging upward. He reacted immediately, this is an underground fountain! And it's also a hot spring, but because there is no light here all year round, and the indoor temperature is too low, so the heat has cooled before it reaches the edge, and you can't feel it until you are in the middle.

"Man, can you take me for a walk around the perimeter." Cha Wenbin stuck to the head of the three-legged toad and said softly.

As soon as his body moved, the three-legged toad carried Cha Wenbin to the opposite side, the change in the temperature of the water under his feet confirmed his guess, and when he reached the edge, it was the biting cold, and the three-legged toad carried him around the lake the size of two football fields, and returned to the center of the lake again without waiting for Cha Wenbin's command.

This circle has given Cha Wenbin a general understanding of here. Centered on where he was standing, a fountain of warm water was spewing upwards and spreading out in all directions, providing water for the entire lake. The lake is close to a relatively regular circle, which seems to be a natural formation, and there are five white lines piled up of animal bones that extend to the middle, but each of them stops at a distance of five meters from the center.

Cha Wenbin's smartest thing lies in his mental image processing ability, just closing his eyes, the plan of the entire lake has appeared in his mind.

Slowly, he took out something from the gossip bag and looked at it for a long time and refused to leave......
