Chapter 40 The Mysterious Boy
The man who fainted was very heavy, and his lungs were getting hotter and hotter.Su Genliang still held the young man's hand tightly.He is not greedy for the 50 taels of silver anymore.He worried that the high morale would disappear as soon as he let go of the young man's hand.

This is the most dangerous.

Just when he felt his lungs were about to explode, he finally poked his head out of the water.

Sure enough, this is a dark lake.He wiped his face, pulled the teenager under his elbow, and swam in one direction.Fortunately, they are not far from the coast.Su Genliang exhaustedly dragged the boy ashore.Although the fainted person will not struggle in the water, he is still very heavy.

He felt a slight flutter in his chest as he held the baby under his arm.He is still alive.But there is no time to rest.Su Genliang took a few breaths.He felt that the air here was not stuffy, and was overjoyed.He knelt down on one knee, put the teenager's stomach on his lap, let his head hang down naturally, and pressed his back.

With a "poof", the boy suddenly spit out a mouthful of water, and the remaining water gushed out from his mouth and nose, making him cough.

Su Genliang breathed a sigh of relief.He helped the boy up and let him lean against the wall to rest.He began to grope around the floor and walls.The air here is not suffocating, which means there is a connection to the ground, but the lake here is calm.Obviously, the exit is not anywhere near here.

There are more lakes on the surface than underground.Groundwater systems are complex.Even if an inexperienced person enters here by mistake, he will be confused by the intricate water system and find it difficult to escape.

"Cough, cough..." The boy was still coughing, "Moss...moss." Su Genliang did not enter the underground river, nor did his master teach him this experience.His behavior just now was only subconscious.At this time, he heard the boy's weak voice, so he stopped searching and returned to the boy.

"I... I can go." The boy was still a little weak. "I'll lead the way." Su Genliang was not surprised how he knew how to get to the underground river.He sat next to the boy.

He touched his arm and found that the steamed bun in his arms was somewhere. "Shall we take a break and start again?"

"Well," the boy replied listlessly.

His eyes were beginning to adjust to the darkness, but his vision was still blurry.Su Genliang rested with his eyes closed.He felt the boy rustle.He opened his eyes and found what the boy had taken from his neck.Then, a yellowish light appeared from there.

"This... what is this?" Su Genliang had never seen such a thing. "Is it the night pearl in the Dragon Palace?" This is a myth that spreads in the Great Lakes.There is a little white dragon in the Great Lake, that is the Great Lake Dragon King.The most precious treasures in the world are hidden in the Dragon Palace, where there are magic beads that glow at night.

"Well, this is a luminous bead." The boy stood up, picked up the luminous bead and shook it in front of him, "but this is not the luminous bead of Dragon Palace." The light source is very dim, but it also splits the invisible darkness.The young man took the beads and looked eastward and westward, only to discover their current situation.

This dark lake is connected to an underground river.When they landed from the lake, they could only go out along the underground river.The teenager is very cautious.He touched the moss and roots on the wall before deciding to start.

"Come on, come with me." The young man's voice was still calm and gentle, but it was as incomprehensible as the light in the dark, full of trust.Su Genliang couldn't understand, so he followed the young man along the dark river.
