Chapter 16 seems to be about to experience underground life for a while

The closer the island is to the center, the higher the terrain becomes, and the highest point is also the most central point.

"It's here!" said the young man surnamed Zhou, who was in the lead, standing beside a big rock.

There are countless stones on the island, most of them are black, the result of the constant washing of the sea and then the sun, but the stones become whiter the further you go in the middle, and in the center are two boulders that are larger than the others.

At this time, the position where the young man surnamed Zhou was standing was next to the stone lying down, this stone was irregularly oval like the stones on other islands, about 2.5 meters long, about the same height as a person, and the bottom was estimated to be twenty or thirty centimeters into the ground.

The young man surnamed Zhou glanced at the ground in his eyes, then walked two meters away, squatted down, and shouted into the gap where a few stones were stacked messily and there was a big fist in the middle: "Big brother, we're back!"

After seven or eight seconds, a voice came back from inside: "Well, it's ready, come in." It was a middle-aged man's voice, and it seemed a little cold.

As soon as his words fell, a young girl's voice sounded after him: "Third uncle, Yang Lang...... Has Yang Lang ever come back?" her voice was very clear and beautiful, but there was a hint of apprehension in her voice.

The young man surnamed Zhou smiled: "Xiaotong, don't worry, how dare he not come back, and why is he reluctant not to come back?"

The girl inside didn't reply again, presumably she was ashamed and happy at this time.

Outside, Yang Youhe's face was a little uncomfortable.

In addition to the others' apprehension, they were already very resentful of Yang Youhe, but when they heard the girl's voice, they added a little hatred, in their opinion, it was undoubtedly Yang Youhe who sold them in order to please the girl.

Among them, there are a few younger sisters in the family, and they also ask the matchmaker to propose to the Yang family, and the teeth are itching, didn't the Yang family reveal that Yang Youhe has no object when he was on Jubei Island?

It's just that no matter how much you hate, you can't do anything about Yang Youhe, the hand of the young man surnamed Zhou has already scared them out, that's a formal warrior, and it's a warrior with courage, one person is enough to slaughter them all, if you can escape separately on a big island, where can you escape on such a small island?

In addition, the young man surnamed Zhou is a warrior, and the young man surnamed Cheng must be too.

When the young man surnamed Zhou lay down to speak, the young man surnamed Cheng behind him had already walked to the right side of the boulder, and the young man surnamed Zhou also walked back and stood on the left side.

I saw the two of them take a deep breath and push the boulder together.

Such a big stone is afraid that there are no more than 10 tons, that is, more than 20,000 catties, both of them are Dawn warriors, it is estimated that it is two or three thousand catties of strength, if it is on flat ground, with the strength of two people, a single person is enough to push the boulder, but at this time it is different.

There was a part of the stone that sank into the ground, and it was much more difficult to push it up than it was on flat ground, and they pushed it to a high ground.

The boulder is uneven, and the rocks that make up the island are underneath it, and the side that is biased towards the center of the island is bulging.

So the difficulty of Zhou and Cheng to push it can be imagined, but they didn't ask others to help, obviously the two of them are enough to deal with it.

But seeing the two of them shouting softly, their faces were slightly red, and there was a creaking sound under the boulder, which gradually moved away.

A ray of light suddenly leaked out from under the boulder, and then the boulder moved away more and more, and the scene under the boulder slowly revealed.

What caught my eye was a hand holding the bottom of the boulder, and an arm-thick chain next to it.

If it weren't for the sound I heard from below just now, I would have been shocked to see this scene at this time.

The boulder kept moving up, and the hand also kept changing the position of the support, and after nearly a minute, the bottom of the boulder was finally completely out of the pit, and Zhou and Cheng respectively hooked the block with their feet, and a relatively sharp stone was cushioned at the bottom to fix the boulder.

In fact, without these two stones to cushion, the boulder will not roll back, the slope up and down on both sides of it is very low, there is no external force to move the words will not roll down, just for the sake of safety to use the stone cushion just in case, if someone is about to jump when the stone falls, accurately pressed into the flesh mud.

Underneath is a crater nearly half a meter in diameter.

"Go down one by one. The young man surnamed Cheng gasped lightly and said, and after speaking, he jumped down first.

The man holding the boulder at the bottom gave way when the boulder got out of the pit, and those who stood closer could see that it was a middle-aged man.

Then a conversation came from below:

"Big brother, the people have been brought back. This is the voice of a young man surnamed Cheng.

"It's hard work, you take them inside first. This was the cold voice of the middle-aged man before.

"Good. ”

"I've met the third uncle, good evening the third uncle!" These are the voices of two people, in addition to the girl, there is also a boy's voice.

"Hehe, good evening Xiao Tong and Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong just finished cultivating so coincidentally.

Big brother, then I'll go in first. ”

"Hmm. ”

The people on Jubei Island above did not dare to disobey, and after Qi Damin gritted his teeth, he was the first to jump down, and the others jumped down one by one, and Wen Ming was at the back.

The ground below the cave is two meters high from the entrance of the cave, and the ground is a thick layer of sand, which is obviously not the original appearance of the cave, and there will be no sand below at all, and it can be seen from the cave wall that there are layers of rock layers below.

I just don't know how thick this rock layer is, whether the entire island and the island body at the bottom of the sea are rock formations.

For Wen Ming, it doesn't matter if there is a layer of sand or not, but if it is an ordinary person, jumping from a height of two meters to a hard rock, it is very likely to hurt the ankle joint.

After jumping down, Wen Ming first looked to the side, where there were three people standing, one was a middle-aged man with an elegant face, three long beards under his chin, and a cold look in his eyes, wearing a purple robe.

Wen Ming's heart jumped slightly, this turned out to be a Chaoyang warrior! At this distance, if he suddenly made a move, his hole cards would not have time to play.

However, he was confident that the other party would not be able to do it at all.

And next to him stood a girl in a red dress and a young man in white clothes on the left and right, the girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, slightly red cheeks, and a pair of bright big eyes looking at the entrance of the cave with a look of expectation; the young man was twelve or thirteen years old, and his appearance was between cute and handsome, especially at a young age, he was calm, and the skin on his body was red, and there was a trace of heat and a smell that Wen Ming was very familiar with, which was the smell of the medicinal bath that eliminated the poison.

Wen Ming didn't look at them closely, he just swept them and walked forward, while looking at the cave.

Wen Ming's school palace set only has a few pieces of cloth left as a commemoration, so at this time he is wearing a cyan coarse cloth shirt given by Xiao Huaming, but although the clothes are similar to those people on Jubei Island, he has a tall posture, a handsome face, a pair of eyes that seem to be pitch black, and there seems to be a faint starlight flashing, no matter how you look at it, it is different from the people of Jubei Island.

The girl only looked at Wen Ming in a little surprise, so she didn't care, and continued to look at the entrance of the cave, the young man looked carefully and looked at the middle-aged man next to him, and the middle-aged man's quiet gaze was on Wen Ming, and he glanced up and down a few times, and his mouth opened to speak.

"Yang Lang!" But it was Yang Youhe, who shyly jumped behind the girl.

The middle-aged man's open mouth closed again, and he took a deep look at Wen Ming again, and then stopped paying much attention.

After his gaze aside, Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, although he wanted to come to the middle-aged man at most to ask a few words, probably about the situation of his war spirit being abolished, and there would be nothing wrong, but it was better not to deal with it at present.

Only then did he have the heart to look around, the iron chain that penetrated the boulder above fell from above to the ground, and all he saw around was indeed rock formations, in front of him was a downward inclined passage, the entrance of the cave was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the entrance was only half a meter wide, but the passage below was two meters wide, but the narrower it was the more in front, and after four or five meters, the front was only one meter wide, and the height of the passage was about two meters.

The people of Jubei Island walked in one by one, and they could hear their suppressed exclamations, and Wen Ming knew why they were amazed, because he was also a little surprised in his heart at this time.

At this time, there was a bright spar lamp hanging on the wall of the cave next to him, and he was not surprised to see this spar lamp, he knew that there was a spar lamp when he saw the bright light outside.

He was surprised that 10 meters inside, there was another spar lamp, and then inside because the passage was a little curved, he didn't see the spar lamp, but he could see that the passage was bright.

And looking at this situation, it is likely that it is a spar lamp all the way down, and this spar lamp was hung up behind the middle-aged people, or was it the original owner of this place?

The reason why he judged that there was still the original owner in this place was because it could be seen from the cave wall of the passage that there was no trace of new traces of this passage, and it was afraid that it existed at least hundreds of years or even hundreds of years ago.

Combined with what he overheard during the day, Wen Ming became more interested in what was going on down there.

Yang Youhe, who fell behind, faced the girl's call, his face changed back and forth, his mouth opened to speak, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The girl's expression was a little gloomy, but she immediately thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face.

The young man stepped forward and pulled Yang Youhe, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a few days, my little brother has itchy hands, and after Brother Yang washes away the dust, if you are not sleepy, you can talk to me for two games first." ”

Yang Youhe's face relaxed slightly, and nodded: "Okay!"

The girl was even more joyful, and her eyes smiled like a pair of crescent moons.

The middle-aged man looked at it lightly and didn't speak.

The last young man surnamed Zhou also jumped down.

"Second brother has worked hard, that ship hasn't been dealt with yet, right?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Not yet, it's time to bother the eldest brother to do it. The young man surnamed Zhou said respectfully.

Although he and the young man surnamed Cheng were able to deal with the ship, it would take quite a long time, but the middle-aged man would only need a moment of work in the past, and he could handle it more cleanly and without a trace than them.

As for them, wouldn't they be stranded on the island without a boat? This is naturally impossible, and when they want to leave, they naturally have the means to leave.

"Go in first!" said the middle-aged man, and jumped lightly on it.

The four of them did not leave, but waited in place, knowing that the middle-aged man would return soon.

The girl glanced at Yang Youhe and said to the young man surnamed Zhou: "Second uncle, tell us about your experience in the past few days~"

The young man surnamed Zhou smiled, how could he not know what the girl really wanted to hear, and immediately recounted the experience of the past few days, focusing on what he had seen and heard on Jubei Island, especially the situation of Yang You and his family.

The girl's face was red, but she listened very carefully to the words of the young man surnamed Zhou.

Yang Youhe saw this, and his eyes softened slightly.

The middle-aged man was really fast, and the young man surnamed Zhou came back before he finished speaking.

He first took the two cushioned stones away, then pulled the chain near the end of the stone and jumped down, and when his feet were still more than half a foot from the ground, his body froze, and then the boulder above shook twice, and finally rolled towards the hole.

"Boom!" there was a muffled sound, and the boulder fell back into the hole.

However, he said that Wen Ming followed the people in front of him and kept going down, and found that there was indeed a spar lamp every 10 meters or so in the passage, which illuminated the passage very brightly.

There is a slight feeling of stuffiness in the cave, but it will not have much impact on breathing, there must be a pores leading to the outside, just like the place where the young man surnamed Zhou shouted before, it must be a pora.

The road section at the entrance of the cave is a little gentle, after walking out of more than 20 meters, the slope of the ground increases sharply, and soon reaches more than 30 degrees.

The passage is still relatively straight in general, there are not many curves occasionally, and there is only one road that goes all the way down, there is no fork, so I walked like this for a moment or so, and finally encountered a fork.

The voice of the young man surnamed Cheng in front of him came: "Go to the right at the fork in the road." ”

Wen Ming paused after arriving at the fork, and then walked to the right road according to his words, none of them left a young man surnamed Cheng to guard at the fork, presumably it was useless to enter the left road, and he had to come back in the end.

And he paused, not hesitating which way to go, but heard the sound of water, which came from the right lane.

"There really is an underground spring or an undersea freshwater river here!" Wen Ming sighed secretly, from the difficulty of removing the boulder that sealed the cave, to seeing the three middle-aged people refreshed all over and the smell of medicinal baths on the young man's body, to the young man he heard just now to Yang Youhe's "wash away the dust", all of which revealed that there was a freshwater source below.

After only a little more than two minutes of walking, everyone stopped, but they finally reached their goal.

There are two more roads here, the left side is a narrow hall three meters after entering, and the right side is closed by an iron door.

At this time, everyone entered the hall on the left, which was 3 meters high, 6 meters long, and 3 meters wide.

The hall is not too spacious, but it is more than enough to accommodate 22 people, and after the last inscriptions are entered, the young man surnamed Cheng said:

"Presumably ......" (To be continued.) )
