Chapter 103: Underground River
Lin Ye can't swim, and it is very difficult to dive to the bottom of the fountain pool more than ten meters deep, unless he will never be able to get up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he tied a rope to Jason beforehand.
Thanks to Jason's amazing strength, after he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, he successfully dived to the bottom of the pool, and found the water outlet and got in.
With the feeling of falling weightless, the two fell into an underground river from the hole with a diameter of about 2 meters.
"Are you alright?" Jason dragged Lin Ye ashore and untied the rope.
Lin Ye spit out two mouthfuls of water and shook his head.
"After a few days of drifting on the sea, this level is still fine. Lin Ye smiled reluctantly.
He looked around, a passage that resembled a sewer, with obvious signs of artificial chiseling around it.
Judging by the degree of corrosion of the walls, it has been excavated for some years.
He had seen drawings of Undercurrent's key facilities, including the underground structure of Fountain Square.
There is indeed a dark river on the drawing, but it is the one above.
That is, under the dark river, there is also a river, like a mezzanine.
Of course, this is not documented on the drawings.
Lin Ye can probably guess that the river above is artificially drained to hide people's eyes and ears, and the lower one is a natural dark river.
"Undercurrent City, the undercurrent hidden under the city, is that what it means?" Lin Ye took out two night pearls from his arms.
This is prepared before coming down, after all, there is no light underground, which can play a certain illuminating role.
"The terrain here seems to be sloping downward, so let's go quickly. Jason pulled Lin Ye.
It's almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and there is just over an hour left until 8 o'clock.
And they don't know exactly where the Governor DuPont is talking about.
Lin Ye nodded, and the two of them walked along the underground river for about 20 minutes.
Soon the road turned, and they turned into a passage.
The sound of the rushing water grew farther and farther away, and the hole began to dry out.
There were torches on the wall, and Lin Ye took out the flint wrapped in oiled paper in advance and lit the torches.
This is much more effective than the Night Pearl.
There are many murals on both sides of the passage, Lin Ye glanced at them, and the content of the murals is the ancient fishing and hunting life.
The only thing he was curious about was that according to the content of the mural, it should not be island life.
It's life on land.
"Is there a place like this in the underneath of Undercurrents?" Jason frowned.
He'd never heard of such a big space underground.
The further down you go, the more open the space becomes.
And the air is getting hotter and hotter.
"If you know, it's not a secret. Lin Ye held the torch and continued to move forward.
Soon a door appeared in front of him.
A door blocked their way.
There was an ancient totem on the door, which Jason immediately recognized, as a sign of the Aries dynasty.
But in addition to the totem, there is also a lock on the door.
A lock that is so complex that it cannot be broken by brute force or opened by skill.
Unless you have the keys in your hand.
"Damn, we can't seem to get by. Jason patted the heavy iron door.
I don't know who designed such a door in such a place when.
Lin Ye also frowned, but when he walked to the door, he took out a key from his pocket.
He inserted the key in, twisted it a few times, clicked, and the lock opened.
"How do you have the key?" said Jason, surprised.
This boy must be the same as him, this is the first time to come to such a place, but how can he hold the key to open the ancient iron door?
Could it be ......
Jason has a bad guess.
"It was Yuffie who gave it to me, just when the Bolton family showed up. Lin Ye pushed the door open, but his strength was too small.
"Still not coming over to help?" he looked at Jason, asking for help.
Jason suddenly realized, and erased the dangerous speculation.
He pushed hard, and the iron door opened little by little.
A stream of blazing heat hit me.
"And so it was. The moment Lin Ye pushed the door open, his face became a little unpleasant.
"What's like that?" asked Jason curiously.
This kid felt a little weird from the start.
"Underground here, it's a volcano, and if I'm not mistaken, it's an active volcano. Lin Ye's expression became more and more serious.
Ever since he had just stepped into Undercurrents, he had had this kind of speculation.
Because at that time he was paving the ground on the road into the city, and found basalt.
It is a volcanic rock that occurs only where there are volcanoes.
The next dark river and hot springs gradually confirmed his guess.
After coming here, he can be completely sure.
The thing that DuPont asked him to pick up is definitely inseparable from the underground volcano in Undercurrent City!
UndercurrentUndercurrent, the reason for the name of Undercurrent City is not an underground river, but a torrent of lava.
That is, magma!
"Is the volcano the wrath of the gods?" asked Jason with a frown.
In this day and age, the word "volcano" naturally does not exist.
Disasters such as volcanic eruptions and lava have been described as "the wrath of the gods."
"That's pretty much it, I just hope it doesn't get to the worst. Lin Ye clenched his fists.
His body shuddered slightly.
This made Jason more and more inexplicable.
It's just that he didn't ask much, and the two of them continued to move forward.
The further you went, the hotter it became, and the walls began to glow red.
About 10 minutes later, a cavern appeared in front of me.
"Jason, you have to be mentally prepared. Lin Ye suddenly said something that made Jason scratch his head.
But when he saw something in front of him with the help of the red light, his face suddenly turned pale.
He ran like crazy and threw the torch aside.
In the cave, a mighty and sturdy middle-aged man sits on a stone chair carved out of stone.
He was so serene, so calm, with a gentle smile on his lips.
It seems that he is having a sweet dream, perhaps dreaming of his wife and children at home thousands of miles away.
That's the only thing that makes him seem so calm, right?
Lin Ye stopped with a torch and found people deep underground, which was really a very dangerous thing.
After all, it's hard to tell friend from foe.
But at the moment, he didn't have the slightest worry, only deep pity.
Because it was a dead man sitting on the chair.
Due to the high temperature and dryness of the cave, his body did not decompose.
It still retains the same appearance as before.
Although he is in his fifties, what the years have left on his face is not wrinkles, not aging, not haggard.
It's as tough as steel.
He's like a tall spear!
If he could be twenty or thirty years younger, he must be a powerful man.
It's like Jason.
And Jason's eyebrows are seven or eight points similar to him.
Lin Ye took off his helmet and paid his highest respect to this man.
And Jason was already holding his corpse, crying silently.
