We went downstream along the already flooded Dragon River, which split into several tributaries and merged into different rivers. The water gradually became clearer and looked exceptionally clean! We walked down one of the tributaries for three days before we found a huge pothole. On the banks of the river, the water flows down from here, but most of it flows down the riverbed!

"Is this it?" I looked at the shopkeeper and asked softly.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded very firmly: "It must be here, I will never forget this place in my life!" You don't know, it's really the first time I've encountered such a strange thing. Brother Ye, you must help me find a way. I don't want to die yet, and I don't want to live better than die! You've smashed me with a coffin, and it's better than that, isn't it? ”

I glanced left and right, and then said to Liang Wansheng: "Go find a rope, I'll go down and take a look, you are here to accompany the king to the shopkeeper." ”

"Good!" Liang Wansheng nodded, and then hurried to find the rope.

It didn't take long for a rope to be found last night. I slowly descended the rope into the cave. It's a deep place, about a dozen meters away. Strangely, however, there was a constant stream of water flowing down from above, but here there was only a puddle of water in the very middle of the pool, and there was no sign of submersion in the rest of the place.

At all the speeds of the water, this should have become a huge waterhole, and there was no cave in sight.

It is also relatively far from the villages, and there is a wasteland nearby, and almost no one lives here, so no one has found this pothole until now. I took a look at it at once, and found that the surroundings of this place are not very spacious, and the surrounding walls are as the shopkeeper Wang said, there are holes one by one, constantly spreading upwards, and it seems that the shopkeeper Wang is making it here.

I sensed something was wrong and pulled a piece of dirt off the wall.

Then he put it to his mouth and sniffed it gently, frowned slightly, and said, "Why does this soil smell of rotting corpses?" ”

"Brother Ye, have you found anything?" At this time, Liang Wansheng shouted above, and then said, "Why don't we two go down too?" Anyway, there is a rope here, so it's easier for us to come up! ”

I thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Oh, then be careful!" ”

After hearing that I had promised to come down, Liang Wansheng and Wang Changgui also went down the rope to the cave.

"Did you find anything?" Liang Wansheng looked at me and asked hurriedly.

I patted him on the head: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

"Curious!" Liang Wansheng smiled, and then nodded apologetically at Shopkeeper Wang: "To be honest, I've been following Brother Ye for so long, I've seen all kinds of things, what zombies, what undead, it can be said that there are countless of them, but this kind of thing is really the first time I've seen it!" It's a bit of a novelty! ”

I sighed, "Not much has been found, but there is something strange about the soil here, and there is a smell of rotting corpses in the soil." And it's very heavy, but it doesn't look like a sign of a dead man! ”

"How deep is this puddle?" I looked at the shopkeeper next to me and asked softly.

The shopkeeper came over and stepped on the pond, the water gently touched his knees, and then the shopkeeper looked at me: "It's so deep! ”

I shook my head slightly, my brows furrowed, and after a long time I continued: "That's a little wrong, logically speaking, although there is not much water left above, it is more than enough to fill this hole." But after staying for so long, it only fills this pool! ”

"That's right!" The two nights seemed to have a sudden realization, and hurriedly clapped their hands and said, "Are there other passages around here?" ”

"Where is it...... shopkeeper Wang was a little helpless, and sighed: "If there is, I would have found it a long time ago." I dug so many holes in the walls and I didn't see anything different! ”

I jumped into the pool, and then touched the bottom of my hands and groped softly!

However, the strange discovery seemed to be a faint suction force sucking into my palm. It was a strange feeling that I wanted to pick up a piece of soil from the bottom of the water, but I found that the bottom was unusually smooth, as if it had been burned with porcelain. There is not the slightest pressure to step on it!

"Find a way to scoop the water out of this pool!" As if I had discovered something, I hurriedly said to Liang Wansheng.

Liang Wansheng's face suddenly became bitter, as if he was very helpless: "Little Brother Ye, such a big puddle of water, and it is still flowing on it, where do you say I will get it for you?" I can't drink it all, can I? ”

Hearing Liang Wansheng's complaint, I felt a little embarrassed, but it was true!

I tapped my hand lightly in the water, feeling the force underneath.

"It should be empty underneath, if I'm right. It's really a cave here! I came out of the pool, closed my eyes gently, and put my hand on the ground. The energy of the leylines moved, and my mind seemed to be integrated into the leylines, and the pulse of the earth slowly passed forward. I want to know what the hell is down here.

But something strange happened the moment I perceived it!

It was as if there was a strange force that blasted me away. It was so intense that I could even feel a sudden pain in my heart. I hurriedly withdrew my hand, my face a little pale.

Liang Wansheng was also a little stunned when he saw this scene, hurriedly walked over, helped me up and said, "What's wrong with your little brother?" ”

I shook my head slightly: "The leylines around here are a little weird, as if they are stopping my exploration, I have never encountered this kind of thing!" It's not going to be easy. ”

"......" Liang Wansheng glanced at me, seeming to be a little nervous: "Otherwise, let's stop staying here, let's leave quickly!" ”

I shook my head, "No, we can't leave, we have to figure out what's going on here." Otherwise, the matter of the king's shopkeeper may also happen to other people, and once this kind of thing spreads, it will be very troublesome! ”

"But Brother Ye, even your investigation has been stopped, how powerful that person is, we can't afford to provoke him at all!" Liang Wansheng said helplessly.

I pondered for a moment, thinking back to how I felt, and then I shook my head: "I'm not being stopped, it's like an energy barrier. I think it has something to do with the soil around here. Ten meters, you're waiting for me here......"

As I spoke, I slowly followed the rope upwards, and every few meters, I pulled a piece of soil from the wall.

Sure enough, the higher you go, the less the smell of rotting corpses becomes. In other words, the higher up you go, the less you will be affected, or even none at all.

I thought about it carefully and looked at Liang Wansheng in front of me: "You better hurry up, you are down here, it will be very dangerous!" The shopkeeper will accompany me down here! ”

"That won't work!" Liang Wansheng shook his head: "I have to be here!" Besides, if we really find something wrong, we can retreat in time! ”

Hearing Liang Wansheng's statement, I couldn't refute it, knowing that she was also worried about me, so I nodded and agreed.

I stood there quietly, thinking carefully about the feeling just now, and then tapped the ground again with my hand: "We still have to find a way to get the water out here, otherwise, I don't know what secrets are hidden under this pool!" ”

"I'll figure it out!" Seeing this, Liang Wansheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Let's go up and block the water on it first, and then find a way to clear this place, what do you think?" ”

"Good!" I heard Liang Wansheng's suggestion and nodded hurriedly.
