Chapter 256 The Underground River
I wonder why there is such an immortal existence in such a dry cave that can even dry corpses.

This thing, together with the previously discovered carp monster and full blood leech, constitute a phenomenon that we do not understand very much.

These things should not appear on these animals, and should not even appear in Guizhou, but why do they grow here?If the first time was accidental and the second time was a coincidence, then the third time can only be regarded as a deliberate arrangement.

There should be some amazing connection between the three.Or in other words, within the entire Heilan Bocheng, there is an ecosystem that is completely different from my usual cognition.

Because of the existence of this unknown system, many impossible phenomena appeared, and it became more and more ridiculous and dangerous...

Next, what do we have to face?

With the experience of golden python, pangolin and this mummified corpse, I told Wang Hou: "Be careful with everything this time, this Ganoderma lucidum has mutated, and the movement of the corpse caused by it just now must be the result of smelling alive. Some kind of reaction after human breath, it can parasitize on the dead, maybe it can also..."

I didn't go on, but everyone understands what I mean. The previous golden python and pangolin also proved that hypothesis.

That is these things, I am afraid that they can also parasitize living people.

The conclusion is astonishing, the effect is horrifying, but after thinking about it, people still need to be rescued, just be careful, be careful, be careful.

In this way, the three of us continued to move forward along the flat and wide gaps in the cave, and followed the blood stains on the ground to find Lin Shaosong with increasing anxiety.

I don't know how long after we walked out, the gap in front of us gradually widened, and the moisture in the air also increased. Most importantly, I saw the "iron lock" extending crookedly from the entrance of the blood well .

Because of the moisture, the iron chains exposed on the surface were more rusted than the chains at the entrance of the blood well, and even many parts of the chains had disappeared, leaving only a light reddish-brown trace between the ground and the stalactites.

Although there are only remnants, I can still see the direction in which the chain extends.And it just so happened that the chain extended in the same direction as Lin Shaosong, Batulu and the others' bloodstains.

At this time, the humidity in the cave gradually increased, and even the stone walls of the cave were covered with sweat-like dewdrops. After walking a certain distance, the rusted iron chains in front of us disappeared into the ground again, replaced by the gurgling wind in front of us. The sound of stream water.

Listening to the sound of the stream, Xian Hongye frowned and said, "There is an underground river ahead. This cave system is just like what we guessed earlier. It was formed naturally and excavated later."

According to Xian Hongye's judgment, the water flow of Furong River will infiltrate into the ground to form underground rivers during the dry season. The tunnel is such a crevice river bed, and the current underground river is the same.

While Xian Hongye was speaking, we followed the traces of dragging underground and quickly came to the vicinity of the dark river.

It was an ankle-deep stream.

The stream is not wide, and the three of us can wade across it. On the other side of the stream, we took photos with flashlights, but there were no traces of the so-called dragging or blood.

This makes us feel very confused.

The bloodstains and scratches were gone, and we became blind. In the dark cave, it was difficult to find Lin Shaosong and the others, and as we traveled deeper, we gradually discovered that the cave system was astonishingly large. Looking at the stream from a distance Over there, there is an unknowingly vast and complex space.

Facing the extremely confusing situation, Xian Hongye murmured, "Do you still want to go there? I feel that the risk is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe the gain will not be worth the loss."

Xian Hongye's words are very frustrating. Although I know that she is making suggestions from the standpoint of her usual cool thinking and overall situation, I can't accept it.

So I shook my head and said, "Let's do it! At this point, I can't bear to see Ba ​​Tulu and the others turn into the same mummies as the one just now. Let's take a walk and talk after crossing the river."

As I spoke, I prepared to cross the stream first to explore the way.

Seeing that my opinion was firm, Xian Hongye didn't want to say anything, but she, who was always cautious, stopped me and asked me to see if there was any harmful thing in the water first, and it would not be too late to go through the water.

Xian Hongye's words sound a little bit like grass and trees, but it's always good to be cautious. After all, after so much experience, if Xian Hongye hadn't been careful, I'm afraid someone would have died long ago.

As a result, I stopped moving forward, illuminated with a flashlight, and carefully searched for the water in the underground river, trying to see if there was anything fatal in it.

In fact, according to common sense, this kind of underground river water is often lacking in nutrients, so it is impossible to have any large predators. If there is any threat, it must be small insects such as leeches, water mosquitoes, and schistosomiasis.

But after shaking the flashlight a few times, the last bit of doubt was dispelled by me.

The stream water of the underground river is extremely clear, and when I shine it with a flashlight, it immediately reflects colorful halos. Those halos are really beautiful reflected on the stone walls of the cave, and they seem to declare its safety and cleanliness to me.

I put down the flashlight, and said to Xian Hongye, "I can go over this time..."

Xian Hongye didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and suddenly interrupted me eagerly: "Old Tian! You're lighting the stream once! Hurry up!"

I looked at Xian Hongye's anxious look, and asked in puzzlement, "Still lighting up? What did you see in the water?"

Xian Hongye replied: "Blood! The stream...is full of blood!"

I scratched my head slightly, turned on the flashlight and said at the same time: "Impossible, everyone saw it just now, there is nothing in the water! How could there be blood?"

While speaking, I pointed the flashlight at the clear stream again, and then showed Xian Hongye the almost transparent water.

"It's completely clean!" Wang Hou said at the same time.

Strangely, Xian Hongye did not look down at the water, but raised her head, pointed to the top of the cave wall and said, "Look!"

Following the direction that Xian Hongye pointed, we looked up.

Afterwards, everyone was shocked!
At the top of the cave, there are reflections showing off the transparent light. Those lights are the image of the flashlight reflected in the stream, which shows us the appearance and shape of the original transparent water flow.

In the reflection above the head, because of the diminishing luminosity, the stream water appears softer and clearer, and against the milky white cave walls, the stream presents a faint red undertone.

Blood!

I got it right away!The stream dilutes some creature's blood!It causes itself to show a reddish color, but because of the contrast and scattering, we can't see it directly.But the reflection of the flashlight's halo on the wall of the cave shows this truth to Xian Hongye.

Seeing the blood, we dared not neglect, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​crossing the river, and turned to search for the source of the stream.

At the same time, Wang Hou took out a dynamite from his bag, and with a serious look on his face, he once again assumed the posture of being ready to do his best!
