After passing through the burial pit, everyone came to the underground river.
The underground river is very wide, there is no place to stay on both sides, and there is no end as far as the eye can see.
If you want to go deeper, you have to walk in the water.
Peacock: "Ah, here, we don't have a raft anymore, how can we get there?"
Shirley Yang gritted her teeth and said, "In any case, we are determined to go on this trip!"
Ji Yi glanced at the river and said, "The water here is not shallow, at least two meters. It's not practical to wade across the river. It's better to prepare for trouble."
Then Ji Yi took out the underwater equipment prepared by Shirley Yang from the space ring.
Wet suits, elbow and knee pads, diving goggles, refillable oxygen bottles, and waterproof bags to hold some commonly used items.
For example, flashlights, candles, gas masks, etc.
The fat man was big and his wetsuit didn't fit him well. He shouted, "No, I won't wear it anymore. This thing is too strenuous."
Lao Hu joked, "It's fine if you don't wear any clothes. Anyway, you are a stupid boy sleeping on a cool bed, and you only rely on your strong firepower."
Shirley Yang said, "You can't do it without wearing clothes. You don't know how cold the water in Zhelong Mountain is. If you stay here for a long time, you will easily suffer from hypothermia. If that doesn't work, just stay here with Peacock and wait for us to come back!"
"
Ji Yi smiled, who is the fat man?
It was owned by the Black Turtle bloodline, so this little quarrel was nothing to worry about.
Hypothermia or something like that is impossible.
However, it is indeed not a good idea not to pass on the diving suit.
"Fat man, if you want to get wet all over, then don't wear it."
Lin Yi passed on the diving suit for the same reason.
I don't want to get my clothes wet.
The fat man snorted twice and said, "No matter what I say, Fatty, I can't let you take risks alone! Can't I wear it?"
Afterwards, everyone returned to the mountain temple and changed into diving suits.
With the help of Ji Yi and Lao Hu, the fat man was stuffed into the diving suit.
After finishing dressing up, the group of five people returned to the underground passage again.
The tunnel at the entrance of the secret passage was obviously artificially built. Both sides were lined with large green-striped stones, and the seams between the stones were sealed with red paint. The large square bricks on the ground were very smooth, rather like a corridor in an ancient tomb.
.
On both sides of the tunnel, there are neatly stacked whole elephant bones, which are the entire elephant skeletons. They were obviously slaughtered and transported outside.
The purpose of placing whole elephant bones or ivory in the burial pit is to capture the homophonic word "xiang" for elephant.
As early as the Shang and Tang Dynasties, elephant bones and tusks were used as burial objects, and a large number of ivory tusks were unearthed in the Yin Ruins.
When we reach the end of the tunnel, we are already about tens of meters above the ground. From here on, it is no longer a manually excavated tunnel, but a natural cave underground. There is no way to follow. I want to continue to the tunnel from here.
Before that, you must go into the water to swim.
There are several ancient wooden boats lined up on the water's edge. People who went to Minglou to pay respects to the king's tomb may have taken these boats.
But over time, these wooden boats have become so rotten that only their frames are left, making them difficult to use anymore.
Lin Yi unzipped the air bag tied to the large backpack, filled it with air, and floated on the water. Weapons such as submachine guns were placed on top so that they could be taken out and used at any time.
Others also put away their wolf-eye flashlights, turned on the tactical spotlights on their helmets, and then followed them into the water, holding on to the large bags on their backpacks and wading through the water.
After walking more than ten meters into the water, my feet could no longer reach the ground, and the freezing cold underground water became deeper and deeper.
There are many huge natural stone pillars in the water, like corals on the seabed, with thousands of branches and branches. Due to the darkness in the cave, it is not clear how these strange stone pillars were formed.
The roof of the cave is very low from the water, making it look particularly depressing. There are also many huge roots/stems of plants growing from above, some even extending directly into the water, forming a rare plant cave roof.
The terrain gradually became lower, and the distance between the water surface and the cave roof gradually increased. Breathing became much smoother than before, while the plant roots/stems hanging above the head and those weird stone corals became increasingly dense.
Lin Yi's eyes fell on the stone coral and found that it was not coral at all, but the fossil of an ancient tree.
Fossils are ancient relics buried in the ground, formed by millions of years of sediment burial. The most common ones are animal fossils, because animal bones and teeth have less organic matter and more inorganic matter. After being buried by sand, they decay
The degree will slow down.
Then it is washed away by the slowly flowing groundwater in the gaps in the sand, precipitating the excess minerals and forming crystals. If the crystals of these minerals can completely replace the organic matter before the bones completely decay, they will form real fossils.
But plant fossils are much rarer because plants decay much faster than animal bones.
As we advance, our field of vision becomes wider. Looking up, the mountain looks like a huge upside-down gourd.
At this time, Lin Yi also checked in silently.
"System, I want to clock in."
"Ding, it has been detected that the host is in the Gourd World. You can check in. The reward is: 10,000 tomb robbing points."
Just as the sound of clocking in stopped, the sound of the system came up again.
"Ding, the fourth check-in location has been refreshed. In order to kill Huo's undead insect, the reward is: Yang Five Thunder Technique!"
Ouch!
I just complained not long ago that I only gave myself the general outline of the Thunder Method, but today I rewarded myself with the Five Yang Thunder Methods.
Not bad.
It is said that the Yang Five Thunder Method can only be practiced with a child's body, otherwise the meridians will be reversed and you will not die well.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin, I have strong self-control. Although there are so many beauties around me, I have always kept myself safe and cherished my feathers.
This is the day I have been waiting for!
Then again, sleeping with a ghost shouldn't count as sleeping, right?
The rewards are great, but the difficulty is also high.
You need to kill Huo's undead insects.
What is Huo's undead insect?
Mountain god.
I don’t know how many thousands of years it has been here.
If it were really that easy to die, I would have burped a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, I just wanted to kill Zongzi, but today I would go and kill a god.
To be honest, Lin Yi himself is really not sure.
There was darkness around them, with only the spotlights above their heads emitting a faint light in the dark space.
It was as if there were only the five of them left in the whole world, and that sense of loneliness and loss lingered in their hearts and could not go away.
In this moment between light and death, Lao Hu and Fatty both trembled, their breathing became rapid, and they felt inexplicably panic in their hearts.
"Old Lin, something is wrong with this place."
Lao Hu looked serious, and when he spoke, his voice was filled with nervousness.
Fatty, Shirley Yang, Peacock and others also nodded and looked at Ji Yi.
It was obvious that they also felt that this place was unusual.
Ji Yi had long been aware of this strange feeling, and now it was becoming more and more obvious.
