Volume 5 Ascending to the Heavenly Realm_Chapter 172 Underground River Adventure

The rising sun illuminates the frozen Far North, and under a mountain stream, there is a flowing stream, and the snow on the cliffs on both sides also falls into the stream from time to time. The stream that flows through the mountain stream has an open section of the river, and the stream slows down when it reaches this place, so the water here is exceptionally clear. Looking down at the stream from the air, it is only this open place where you can directly see the bottom of the water, which used to be mostly glistening with golden sand, but today it seems that the bottom of the water has sunk some dirt and black. After a while, the black shadow under the water actually moved, and slowly got up from the water, and it turned out to be a person. Of course, this person is Sima Xuan who jumped down from the mountain stream, but fortunately, his strength has recovered, otherwise he is afraid that he will fall into a puddle of flesh.

Walking from the icy stream to the shore, Sima Xuan felt the coldness of his wet clothes. His water-soaked hair was scattered, obscuring his face, and he couldn't see the expression on his face. He found a large bluestone and sat on it. The meridians that had not been running for a long time were a little dry, and when Sima Xuan drew out the yin and yang qi from the dantian, the two true qi filled his meridians like wild horses, and the tearing pain continued to impact the nerves of his brain. At the same time, the clothes on his body that were soaked by the stream water were constantly being dried by the scorching true qi emanating from his body.

An hour later, Sima Xuan seemed to be reborn, his originally wet long hair was now scattered behind him, and the wet clothes on his body had already become dry, he walked down from the bluestone and came to the edge of the stream, and then the reflection in the water looked at his current appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After the catastrophe, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Thinking of Su Wu, Sima Xuan raised his head, looked at the sky in the mountain stream, and said lightly: "Senior, wait for me, you must live, I must rescue you!"

Looking at the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream, although it was easy for him to climb up after recovering his strength, he still decided to go around from under the mountain stream, maybe there would be other gains.

Sima Xuan chose a direction along the stream and walked down. Out of the open water where he came out before, the river behind him was extremely narrow, and at last there was no river channel, and the stream was broken when it flowed to a narrow mountain crevice. This made Sima Xuan feel very strange, before coming here, the flow of the stream was still very sufficient, and it was impossible to completely disappear out of thin air, that is to say, there must be an underground river here, and all the stream water on the ground flowed into the underground river.

Sima Xuan walked to the vicinity of the mountain crevice, observed the terrain here, and affirmed his thoughts. At that moment, he turned around, turned his back to the crack in the mountain, lifted his strength, and raised his hand to slash several palms at the ground in front of him. "Boom!", the stream hidden in the ground broke through the ground due to the pressure, and soon a puddle formed on the ground.

Sima Xuan looked at the puddle, and without thinking about it, he jumped directly into the hole formed when the stream water sprayed out of the ground before. At the location where the groundwater was spewed, the water level was very high, and Sima Xuan fell directly into the water. In the water, there was no light, and it was pitch black all around, which reminded him of the space spirit, when he was under the thunder pool before, the lighting function of the space spirit was of great use. At that moment, he summoned the space spirit body, and when the space spirit heard Sima Xuan summon him, he appeared in a swoop and said, "Master, what have you been doing all this time? Why did I cut off contact with the master as soon as the master came out of the thunder pool?"

When Sima Xuan heard this, he was shocked, but then he understood the reason. It must be because he was in a barbarian tribe at that time, and because of the loss of his skills, even the connection with the space spirit could not be maintained.

Sima Xuan replied: "Let's not talk about this for now, you first light up this place and see what the surrounding situation is." ”

Hearing this, the space spirit readily agreed, and casually threw out a few balls of light, and the scattered points of light soon illuminated the underwater environment.

The water here is full of stone stalactites, and if Sima Xuan walks with his senses, he is afraid that he will have to bump his head all the way. The space spirit asked with some confusion, "Master, what kind of place is this, why is it so strange?"

"Strange?" said Sima Xuan, "This is just an underground river, what's so strange there? You mean stone stalactites?"

"It's not a stone stalactite!" the spatial spirit said, "I feel that there seems to be a spirit not far from here!"

"What did you say?" Sima Xuan said in surprise, "Is there a spirit being?"

The space spirit was also a little uncertain and said: "I'm not very sure, but the same spirit body still has some mutual induction." ”

Hearing the space spirit say this, Sima Xuan was also a little tempted, that is, he said: "Let's go and find out!" With the help of the surrounding light points, Sima Xuan dodged the stalactite forest in the water and swam in the direction of the space spirit body.

At first, whenever he came to a heart of water, Sima Xuan had to let the spatial spirit body re-emit a ball of light to illuminate the underwater environment. However, this time, when the space spirit was about to send out a ball of light again to illuminate the underwater environment, it was stopped by Sima Xuan. The space spirit knew that something was wrong here, so it said through psychic communication, "Master, is there anything wrong here?"

Sima Xuan said, "I sensed signs of biological activity here. ”

"Creature?" the space spirit wondered in his heart and asked, "What is there to be afraid of creature?" Master, ......

The space spirit body was about to say how powerful Sima Xuan was, but he interrupted: "The creatures here are different from other places, and they seem to have extraordinary abilities......" Sima Xuan said this, because he was worried that the creatures here had the ability to resemble barbarians, and they could suppress their own skills, if they really had such abilities, they would regret it at that time.

However, not being able to see the situation around them clearly is very bad for them. Sima Xuan caused the spatial spirit to throw a ball of light towards a distant position. In the waters where the ball of light passed, there were several huge, dark, eyeless, fish-like creatures, because they lived in a lightless underground river all year round, so they did not react to the ball of light passing by them. When Sima Xuan saw this, he let the spatial spirit body emit a few more balls of light, illuminating this body of water.

When this body of water was illuminated, Sima Xuan couldn't help but gasp and said, "How can there be so many!"

Three feet in front of Sima Xuan, there were actually patches of eyeless black fish, and they seemed to have discovered the invasion, lined up, blocking the way in front of Sima Xuan.
