Chapter 179: Doubt

"In the past hundreds of years, the Yellow River has broken off more than once, and the reasons are different, and after this inference, I asked all the people in the vicinity who were begging for a living on the water, and finally got the news that on that day, the water level of the Yellow River next to it dropped by three or four meters." The old man said slowly.

"The water level of the Yellow River is dropping?" Hearing the old man's words, I nodded thoughtfully.

Before I went to the basin that the old man said, many conclusions could not be easily made, but at least from the current point of view, there is nothing suspicious about what the old man said, but I don't know why, I always have a faint uneasiness in my heart.

"Is there a dark river there?" Liu Xingyu couldn't help but say.

"Yes, after searching, we found more than one dark river there, but because of so many years of crustal changes, only one of them only collapsed in half, so driven by curiosity and **, we took the first step towards death." When the old man said this, there was still a deep remorse in his eyes.

"What's in the Dark River Passage?" Zhao Xinting hurriedly asked.

"Layer by layer of dry bones spread out inside, according to the identification, it should be the bones of those devils who disappeared back then, but ......"

"But what?"

"But none of those bones are intact, all of them have been destroyed by some unknown thing, countless skeletons are lined up together, miserable and white, if we could have sensed the bad and quit at that time, there would have been no tragedy in the future, but the bad thing is that I picked up a few gold ingots in the corner." The old man closed his eyes painfully when he said this, as if he was feeling guilty, perhaps in his opinion, if he didn't pick up the gold ingots, they wouldn't have gone deeper, and what happened next wouldn't have happened.

It's a pity that the wealth is moving, and in that case, even if he doesn't pick up those gold ingots, they won't quit.

I know very well what they were thinking at that time, ** the general courtyard is the worst enemy of humanity itself, but it is also the best motivation.

"We went deeper along that passage and finally found a huge cavern in the ground, with a high platform in the middle, which I didn't know was an altar until later."

"But before we could get to the altar, countless black beetles poured out from all around, densely packed, covering all the ground, and those beetles looked like the fingernails of the thumb, and they surrounded us in an instant, and then I saw with my own eyes that my good brothers were crawling all over these beetles, because I was close to the dark river next to me, and accidentally fell into it, and those beetles seemed to be afraid of water, so I got away with it, But I saw with my own eyes that my best brothers were reduced to a pile of bones in an instant, and they didn't even have time to scream. ”

"Later, I drifted along the dark river, and finally was swept into a whirlpool, and when I woke up, I was in the Yellow River, or was rescued by a kind person, so I knew that I finally escaped from the devil's cave, but my brothers stayed there forever, I have not eaten and slept well for so many years, just want to one day find their bones, and avenge them, but unfortunately my own ability is not the opponent of those beetles at all, and I don't want to harm others, this matter has been entrusted to the present." The old man patted his thigh, his eyes moistened.

"Old man, do you have children?" I suddenly looked at him and asked.

"No, I don't want to drag people down, so I've been alone for so many years." The old man shook his head and said.

"By the way, old man, do you remember that passage?" Liu Xingyu hurriedly asked the old man, but my mind turned elsewhere.

There are beetles that may have formed such a terrifying group there for special reasons, and after so many years, it is still a question whether they can exist.

What caught my attention was the altar in the old man's mouth, it is not an ordinary thing to have an altar in such a place, and who built this altar, what is the purpose of staying there, are those beetles raised by people or reproduce by themselves, and what is the reason for the backflow of the water of the Yellow River?

"As I remember, I've been there a few times, but I've never had the courage to go back in. Young man, do you still want to go now? The old man looked directly at me and said, after so long, if he no longer saw that I was the one who made the decision, it would be better to die headlong.

"Go." I nodded heavily, even if it was just for Xiaoyi, I had to go in, not to mention that even I was very curious about it.

"Well, I hope you don't regret it." The old man finally nodded.

According to the old man's words, the location of the passage is very hidden, otherwise it would not have been undiscovered for so long.

"Old man, thank you for telling us the truth, as long as we can find the dry bones of your friends, we will definitely help you bring them back." I finally shook the old man's hand before leaving with the two of them.

This time I came here to definitely make a lot of money, not only with important clues, but also to understand a mystery that I have not been able to explain so far.

The only thing I regret is that I still haven't found any information about the stone, as if it really appeared out of thin air, and there was only that one.

Fortunately, Xiaoyi can hold on for a while, giving me more time to think of a way.

And I'll have to go down and take a look this time, maybe there's news about the stone inside.

In the end, I left with the two of us, because it was noon, so we first found a place to have a meal before heading back to Dayi Mountain.

"Liu Yang, do you think what the old man said deceived us or concealed it?" On the way, Liu Xingyu suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Not really, right? I think what the old man said is true. Zhao Xinting couldn't help but defend the old man.

"We'll find out if we'll really wait until we get there." Seeing that the two of them looked at me, I said helplessly.

Following the route the old man had told, we finally found the basin he was talking about.

To be precise, it's a flat place with a wide enough view, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road leading inside.

I first circled around the bottom, and my mind kept simulating the scene of spraying water out of huge dark tunnels and quickly burying thousands of devils.

However, there is still a problem there, that is, how to ensure that the last side does not leak water, otherwise no matter how big the water is in the underflow of the Yellow River, it will not be able to retain water.
