"Yes, in this underground world, there are giant mechanisms everywhere. Of course, they must be driven by power...
Mo Lian sighed: "These waterwheels are the source of power here. Without such a large force, how could it be possible to push such a huge stone ball in Longkou Cave?"
"oh....
Jiang Zhonglou nodded, and then he understood the function of these waterwheels. He thought about it and said: "Since this waterwheel has been driven by the flowing water of the waterfall, there must be a channel for water to flow out under the lake. Why don't we go down and have a look?
!”
"Okay, how long can you hold your breath while diving?" Mo Lian asked.
"I have about twenty minutes, how about you?"
"Me? Of course there is no time limit. You can dive as long as you want."
"Um...are you really a robot? Don't you need to breathe?" Jiang Zhonglou asked curiously.
"of course not..."
As Mo Lian spoke, he pressed a button somewhere and saw a transparent helmet suddenly protruding from his collar, covering Mo Lian's head.
Just like an astronaut's helmet.
"Uh...okay..."
Only then did Jiang Zhonglou understand what Mo Lian meant.
She actually wore a sealed helmet on her clothes, which must have the function of supplying oxygen. Of course, Mo Lian could dive in the water for as long as she wanted...
Mo Lian didn't know where to press the button switch, and the flame on her mechanical foot went out. She took Jiang Zhonglou with her and fell into the lake with a "plop".
Then, her mechanical foot began to deform and soon turned into a propeller.
"Buzz!"
The propeller rotated rapidly, pushing Mo Lian and Jiang Zhonglou towards the lake.
Another strong light appeared on Mo Lian's diving helmet, illuminating the turbid and dark bottom of the lake brightly.
Jiang Zhonglou was being held by Mo Lian, he only needed to hold his breath, there was nothing else to do...
He couldn't help but feel depressed.
After all, he is also a master with unparalleled magical skills, but in front of Mo Lian, he is just like a weak baby, useless at all...
Jiang Zhonglou lowered his head and found that his black jade locks had lit up again, emitting a faint blue light.
Seems brighter than ever...
However, the light above Mo Lian's head was too strong, and she couldn't see the light on Jiang Zhonglou's Mo Jade lock at all...
Jiang Zhonglou ignored Mo Yusuo's blue light. When he opened his eyes underwater, he saw groups of fish and shrimps at the bottom of the lake.
The big fish is more than one meter long and leisurely...
There are also huge schools of millions of small fish...
There are also giant lobsters that are one meter long, turtles as big as round tables...
When the fish and shrimps in the lake saw Mo Lian and Jiang Zhonglou swimming rapidly in the water, they were so frightened that they fled away.
Mo Lian took Jiang Zhonglou and quickly dived to the bottom of a lake beside the mountain wall.
I saw that the parts of the waterwheels submerged at the bottom of the lake were countless huge gears and other components, which were also slowly rotating...
The ends of these components either extend into the mountain wall or into the bottom of the lake. Obviously, they are really providing powerful power to some kind of mechanism...
At the bottom of the lake, there are countless holes, large and small, and the water in the circular lake flows out of these holes...
Many small fish and shrimps swim in and out of these water holes...
The bottom of the entire circular lake is like a huge sieve, and the water injected here flows out through those water holes.
After swimming at the bottom of the lake for a while, Mo Lian took Jiang Zhonglou and swam straight up for about twenty minutes.
"Pola!"
The two of them jumped out of the water like dolphins.
Jiang Zhonglou took a deep breath, wiped some water from his face, and saw that Mo Lian's mechanical legs had been replaced by fire-breathing propellers, and he was suspended in mid-air.
"Those holes at the bottom of the lake, do you think it is possible for them to lead to the Ningjiang River outside?" Jiang Zhonglou asked.
"It must lead to the Ningjiang River outside, otherwise where would so much water go?"
Mo Lian said: "Didn't that old man also say that there is a passage to Ningjiang River under Chao Shen's Longkou Cave?"
"Then can we get out through the passage at the bottom of the lake?" Jiang Zhonglou frowned.
"It shouldn't be possible...
Mo Lian thought: "If I guessed correctly, these water holes in the lake eventually converged into a huge underground river and poured into the Ningjiang River...
More than ten kilometers upstream of the Ningjiang River, there is an underground river that pours water into the Ningjiang River all year round. It should be the water here...
Even if I had a diving suit, I wouldn't be able to swim ten kilometers in the intricate underground river, let alone the five of you, who don't have any diving equipment!"
"Then how do we get out?" Jiang Zhonglou was stunned.
"We still have to find a way out from where we came. Let's go and take a look at the nostrils of the one-horned dragon. That's where the pair of wild birds came out just now."
As Mo Lian spoke, she took Jiang Zhonglou up quickly and flew back to the nose of the one-horned dragon statue at the top.
I saw that the nostrils of the one-horned dragon statue were big enough to fit a person through.
"Go in and take a look."
Mo Lian hugged Jiang Zhonglou and sent him into the nostril of a one-horned dragon.
Jiang Zhonglou used his hands and feet to climb up.
A flashlight appeared on Mo Lian's robotic arm, lighting up Jiang Zhonglou from behind.
Unexpectedly, after climbing the tower for a while, Jiang Zhong found that there was no way to climb forward.
Because the nostrils of this giant dragon are getting narrower and narrower.
By the light of Mo Lian's flashlight, Jiang Zhonglou saw that although the back of the nostril was getting narrower and narrower, it was bottomless...
In other words, although Jiang Chonglou cannot climb into this nostril, those two wild birds can!
They are only slightly larger than mallard ducks...
Jiang Zhonglou retreated, sat on the edge of the nostrils, and said to Mo Lian, who was floating in the air: "No, it's getting narrower and narrower inside, and people can't climb in at all. Only the pair of wild birds can climb in...
This giant dragon's nostril is likely to lead to the Dragon's Mouth Cave outside...
Your guess seems to be very reasonable. The pair of wild birds probably sensed that Ningjiang River was about to have a huge tide that had never happened in a century, so they drilled the dragon's mouth hole from the nostrils of this giant dragon...
While they were drilling, they somehow triggered some mechanism and opened the huge stone ball valve at Longkou...
When the tide returned, the pair of wild birds returned here through the water, and we discovered them again."
"Hmm...the analysis is not bad...
Mo Lian thought: "But why do these pair of wild birds go out? Are they specifically going to report news to people? Or... something is inspiring them?"
"Inspiration...
After hearing Mo Lian's words, Jiang Zhonglou's mind suddenly flashed with lightning!
He was stunned for a moment, took out the black jade lock from his neck, and murmured: "My black jade lock is engraved with a pair of wild and wild birds. Could it be that... it was the pair of wild and wild birds that were engraved on it?"
