Everyone couldn't help but cheer when they heard Bai Lu's voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie and the news she brought.

"Finally found an exit! Xiaobai is really good! ”

"Thanks to Advisor Lin, who kept a hand at the critical moment, we had a chance to let that little guy help us get out of here!"

"It's just a miracle Advisor Lin, Old Lu, you chose to let him be this consultant in the first place, it was really, really really a wise choice!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Advisor Lin, we wouldn't know how many times we'd died along the way! But what did Bai Lu's last few words mean? Is there something evil under this water? ”

This sentence once again made everyone put away their short-term joy.

"Don't think about it so much, if there is something really going on, she can still talk to us now? Everyone, pay attention! Get out of this place! ”

Li Li patted them lightly behind them.

Everyone picked up their luggage and walked down the stone steps.

Due to the rise and fall of the underground undercurrent, many of the contents of the relief in this distance have been washed away by the river and stones.

Professor Yu and Xiao Song's research had to be terminated.

As for the doubts in Lin Yi's heart: what is the real history of the Exquisite Kingdom, where did it really come from as the descendants of the Queen Mother of the West, and where did they disappear in the end?

Where are the ruins of the Exquisite Ancient City?

And the "Liangzhou Ding" that suddenly appeared, is it really one of the "Nine Dings"? Where did it go?

None of that matters anymore.

All the unsolved mysteries are left to those professional archaeologists to study.

Now, Lin Yi and the others have only one idea, that is, to get out of here quickly.

When the group reached the lowest staircase, there was still a turbulent underground undercurrent in front of them.

"Bai Lu Bai Lu, we have reached the lowest level, can you please tell me how to go underwater?"

Among the rest of the people, Li Li has the best wateriness, and he has already sulked two mouthfuls of two thunders, his body is hot, and he is ready to go into the water.

"Received Captain Li, after going into the water along the stone pillar, you can see a cave, at the top of the cave, there is an iron chain, you grab the iron chain, move into the cave, remember, you must look up, the top of the cave has not been completely submerged, it can be used for you to breathe!"

"Roger!"

Li Li handed the walkie-talkie to Lin Yi and tied a dead knot on himself with a paracord, and each of the rest hung a safety buckle on his body, and the rope passed through the middle to ensure that everyone would not be washed away by the turbulent river.

"Everyone heard what Bai Lu said just now, I'll go into the water first to see how long it takes to get to the cave, and then everyone will go into the water one by one in the predetermined order."

"Go ahead, stay safe!"

Lin Yi stepped forward and patted Li Li on the shoulder.

"Hmm!"

Li Li took a deep breath, and a fierce man plunged into the icy river water, and everyone above held flashlights, always paying attention to his movements.

This stone staircase is not far from the cave, only about 20 meters away, which is the length of the standard swimming pool.

But the water flow around the stone pillar was very turbulent, and Li Li's height was not as dexterous as Bai Lu's.

Fortunately, he entered the cave without any danger.

A glow stick that shimmers brightly, dangling above the entrance of the cave, directs the way for those behind it.

Wang Qiang went into the water for the second time, he was heavy and stable, as long as he entered the cave, it was equivalent to taking root in the cave.

Between him and Xiao Song was Lu Lao.

Xiao Song's water nature is acceptable, he can plane so many times, and he is followed by Professor Yu, and he can take care of it before and after.

Li Li has already tied the paracord firmly to the chain in the hole, and for those who go into the water behind, as long as they hold their breath and drag the paracord under the water to swim forward.

A few minutes later, the glow sticks at the entrance of the cave shook four times, indicating that all four of them had arrived safely in the cave.

Next are Lin Yi, Abdu, Academician Zhou and his assistants, as well as Lan Yun's team member Gangzi.

Academician Zhou's assistant, following Li Li's previous example, tied Academician Zhou to himself and went into the water first.

Gangzi is the best watery in the second team, he is in the middle, followed by Abdu, and Lin Yi is in the formation.

This team of landlubbers has the most, and before everyone went into the water, they all encouraged each other and did psychological construction for each other, and then they went into the water.

When Lin Yi went down into the icy river water and opened his eyes, he finally realized what Bai Lu meant by what he said before.

Where the flashlight beam on his body shines, it can be seen that there is a thick layer of white bones piled up at the bottom of the river.

The bones were large and small, many of them were decapitated, and many of them wore heavy chains on their necks, wrists, and ankles.

These should all be slaves who died in the original construction of the "ladder".

They work day after day in the belly of this dark mountain, some of them may stumble and fall into the abyss, and some may die of exhaustion on the spot.

Others may be killed by the overseer just because of a small mistake or mistake, and kicked under this abyss.

Many of these bones have been carried away by the Dark River, and these nameless bones that have settled under the water may be buried here forever.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones!

Lin Yi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, just grabbed the rope and moved forward, holding his breath until his head was clouded, and he was finally carried out of the water.

They finally swam into the cave, which had a curved bulge at the top for them to breathe.

Everyone should have seen the white bones in the river, so their hearts were extremely heavy, and they did not have the joy of the rest of their lives, and they were all silent.

Just like that, he grabbed the iron rope on the top all the way, desperately tilted his head, and grabbed the rope with the other hand, and moved in the water towards the cave.

Finally, Lin Yi felt a huge traction from the safety buckle on his waist, dragging him forward and moving quickly.

It turned out that the people in front of the rope had already gone ashore and were pulling the parachute rope with all their might.

It wasn't until he saw a flashlight beam flashing at the entrance of the cave in front of him that he knew that everyone had escaped alive and reached safety.

Lin Yi was the last to be helped up from the water by everyone.

The group finally escaped from this desperate tomb.

At the other end of the cave, the ground is higher, and the river does not flood here until it is fully rising.

As Bai Lu said, this is a glacial cave, and it is also the place where the workers rested and piled up materials.

The walls and top of the cave were driven into a lot of large iron vertebrae, as well as the iron chain that helped them get out of trouble.

At the other end of the cave, natural light can be faintly seen.

"We're finally out!"

"yes, we came out alive!"

"Think about those dry bones under the water, it's really not easy for us to come out of here alive!"

The depressed mood of everyone was finally released at this moment.

Bai Lu's voice came from the other end of the intercom again.

It turned out that the human-faced marmoset took her all the way to the end of the cave.

After coming out, I found that this karst cave was in the middle of a valley, and there was a huge mountain rock blocking the entrance of the cave, which was quite hidden.

The key is that the entrance to this cave is still open at the southern foothills, the terrain is not high, and there is a lot of vegetation cover, and there are signs of human activity as far as the eye can see.

Hearing the news, everyone couldn't care about the cold of their bodies anymore, although they were all shivering from the cold, but the blood was surging in their bodies, supporting each other miserably, just wanting to say goodbye to this ghost place as soon as possible.
