Chapter 25: Dark River Rafting

Before leaving, Tang Chen did not forget to loot the Absolute Valley and the Cave Mansion.

Twelve Night Pearls were obtained in the Yongdao and Dongfu halls; the black beetle shell is fire-resistant, light and hard, and is a good refining material, and all the unused insect shells are packed and taken away; the jade tableware on the stone platform is a high-end product, and it is not to be missed...... Due to the limited capacity of the Qiankun bag, which also contained a large number of gourds, spare rattan ropes, and food, Tang Chen had to abandon some less important kitchen utensils and bottles and jars.

Tang Chen didn't feel any pain when he lost something.

Today is different from the past, as long as you can get out, a night pearl is enough to make up for all losses.

The kitten dressed in the worm beetle jumped into the sealed box.

Tang Chen closed the door of the box, jumped into the pool, pressed the sealed box with his body, and dived to the water outlet.

Tang Chen has traveled back and forth many times in this dark river, and he can come and go freely without relying on the rattan rope tied in advance, and successfully reach the forefront of the control area. This is a hollow area, where the dark river bends, and a long section of the river in front of it runs through the belly of the mountain, and there is no ventilation point, and the real test has arrived.

Sitting on a rock, Tang Chen opened the sealed box, and the kitten jumped out with a whoosh.

"I haven't walked the road ahead, and it's hard to predict how it will turn out. Tom, remember what I told you, no matter what happens, don't panic!"

"Meow!"

The kitten whispered in response, staring around with wide eyes, visibly uneasy.

Tang Chen stood up, took off the rattan robe on his body, and then took out a brand new rattan robe from the Qiankun bag and wrapped it around the insect beetle. The new rattan coat has two cloth bags, which are his most recent improvements, and each contains a night pearl, which provides limited light, but it is not without a small supplement, and it does not occupy both hands. He didn't throw away the old rattan clothes immediately, but took back the Qiankun bag in case of emergency.

He took out a short rattan and tied it to the rattan coat and the rattan of the sealed box, and tied it in a dead knot.

After doing all this, he sent the kitten a smile.

"Look, we're not going to be apart. ”

"Meow!"

The kitten jumped back into the sealed box lightly, but did not squat down honestly, put its front legs on the top of the box, and looked at Tang Chen silently, as if he would never see Tang Chen again in the future.

Tang Chen's heart warmed, touched the kitten's head, and said softly: "Don't worry!

"Meow!"

The kitten gently licked Tang Chen's hand with her little tongue, and then squatted down obediently, and the box was locked again.

Tang Chen carried the box and walked down the dark river.

Walking to the entrance, he stopped and looked behind him, and it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything clearly, which made his already nervous mood even more nervous. Although he had made a lot of preparations, he was not too sure about the road ahead, and if he had no other choice, he would not have taken his life.

There is no choice!

A fierce flash flashed in Tang Chen's eyes, he took a deep breath and dived into the water violently.

The adventure begins!

The turbulent water pushed him into the closed river, and it was dark in front of him, and in such an environment, the night pearl in the cloth bag seemed to be frightened to lose its face, and gathered its brilliance, shivering in the darkness. There was only the cacophony of water, the tyrannical waters of the river, and they rushed against the reef, washing away anything that dared to stand in their way, just as it is now. They were enjoying themselves in the river, pushing Tang Chen to the rocks that could be seen everywhere again and again, concocting collisions again and again, and they never got tired of it.

The impact was violent, but under the protection of the rattan clothes and insect beetles, Tang Chen was not physically injured.

Tang Chen tried to maintain his balance at first, but his repeated efforts were ruthlessly crushed by the river. So he stopped struggling, he cherished every ounce of physical strength like a miser who cherished wealth, and his consciousness was concentrated in the surrounding area. Tang Chen let the current push forward, secretly estimating how far he had advanced in the current.

One hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

Tang Chen's heart was awe-inspiring, this closed river course really didn't look like words.

A feeling of irritability begins to appear in the chest, indicating that the oxygen consumption in the body has reached a dangerous level. Tang Chen didn't realize it, his ability to hold his breath had increased recently, and he could hold on for a while, even if there was still no open river channel before the limit arrived, and there were hundreds of gourds in the Qiankun bag, which was enough for him to survive underwater for a long time.

Tang Chen groped around his waist, the vine connected to the sealed box was still there, and it was straight, and he was relieved.

Three hundred and fifty meters!

Just as Tang Chen was about to take out a gourd, his body suddenly lightened, and a strong force pushed him onto the water.

This long closed river channel is finally over!

Tang Chen lay on his back on the water, breathing the air greedily, and before he could catch his breath, he was swept into the dark river by the current, entering the next section of the closed waterway. Before entering the water, Tang Chen heard the sound of the gourd and the rock colliding one after another, and the huge energy generated by the series of impacts was heavily weakened, and it was transmitted to the body that was soaked in water, and it was still faintly painful, as if it had been directly hit by a wooden stick.

"Fortunately, there are insect beetles!" Tang Chen secretly rejoiced.

Sometimes he was lifted to the surface, sometimes he was swept to the bottom, just like that, Tang Chen floated and sank in the dark river, and quickly went away. Although he had not been seriously injured under the protection of the rattan beetle, and the little gourd had only used a few, the process was not wonderful, and after a head impact with a rock, he fainted, albeit briefly...... In addition, hypothermia after soaking in water for a long time was also a problem that could not be ignored, Tang Chen began to feel dizzy and wanted to close his eyes and sleep for a while.

The situation of the kitten also made Tang Chen worried.

After the drifting began, the connection between him and the kitten was broken, after such a long impact, has the sealed box been broken? Even if it is not broken, the air of the sealed box can only allow the kitten to support half a pillar of incense, but Tang Chen, who was dizzy by the collision, could not accurately estimate how long it had been......

Gotta find a way to stop!

Right away!

Tang Chen no longer spared his physical strength.

He took out a rattan rope, and there was a looper at one end of the rattan rope, which was a deceleration rope he had prepared in advance, and if the rope hit the target, it would be tightly entangled. Tang Chen wrapped the other end around his arm a few times, but he didn't act immediately, he was like a cheetah, silently waiting for the opportunity,

He finally waited for another current to rise.

Now is the time!

As soon as he surfaced, Tang Chen waved his hand and threw out the rattan rope looper, while grabbing the other end with both hands!

Two seconds later, nothing happened, and the current was swept underwater again, continuing to carry him forward at a rapid pace. Tang Chen was a little disappointed, and silently pulled the rattan rope back, waiting for the next opportunity.

The second time, the rattan rope still didn't reach the rock!

Tang Chen began to get anxious, if it exceeded half a pillar of incense......

The water turned sideways with his body, and there was a bend in the river here, and Tang Chen threw the rattan rope for the third time.

Fail!

Tang Chen was not swept to the bottom of the river, which means that this open river channel is long enough, and there is still a chance!

Fourth, fail!

For the fifth time, there was a sudden strong force in the arm!

The rattan rope quickly contracted and tightened, his arm was almost torn off, and there was a huge pain, but Tang Chen was overjoyed. He desperately clung to the rattan rope, kicked his legs on the reef at the bottom of the river, and felt his way to the shore step by step.

Before he could get ashore, he opened the box first, and shouted angrily, "Tom!"

"Meow!" the kitten replied as she curled up in the box and screamed weakly.

"Haha! brother knows you're okay!"

Tang Chen's body pressed against the box, his face leaned against the mouth of the box, and he laughed heartlessly.

After a while, Tang Chen moved his body to a large rock with difficulty, looking at the surrounding environment.

He froze.

Everywhere, however, there was a flood of light, which was particularly faint in the darkness. This brilliance gave Tang Chen a sense of familiarity, as if he had returned to Yongdao.

He reacted quickly, the pearl of the night?

A moment later, he was standing in front of a stone cave.

A secret house hidden in the belly of a mountain!
