Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 403 Underground Passage 6
Ling Chuanye dragged a boa constrictor with an arm thick enough to be eight meters long.

The snake's eyes have degenerated due to being underground for a long time, and the skin on its body has also turned pale.

But it is non-toxic and edible.

Seeing that Zhao Hao and the others had already caught the gophers and ate them, Ling Chuanye put the big snake aside and said, "There is an underground river ahead, I will take this snake over and deal with it later, I see, there are quite a few of these snakes down here. "

Xie Jue and Zhao Hao raised their eyebrows at the same time.

There is water and food, at least it means that eating and drinking along the way is not a problem.

After receiving the cooked meat (hamster) handed over by Tang Bing, Ling Chuanye took a bite and continued: "This crack is wider than the previous one, but there are also a lot of broken stones on the ground, and there are many snakes. Wait a minute." I will go ahead and drive those snakes away with the North Underworld Dragon Snake, but the distance those snakes retreat will not be too far, you have to follow closely, light a torch when you go to the back, the snakes in these caves are afraid of light, Where there is light they don't come down."

Zhao Hao and Xie Jue nodded at the same time.

Ling Chuanye said again: "The crack in the ground is not long, about a mile away. After walking out, there is a dark hole. The dark hole is a bit long. I guess it will be a few miles away, and then you can reach the dark river. I poked my head first, and the river was clean and drinkable, but the way is to the river, and if we want to continue walking, we have to wade through the dark river."

"Walking?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Well, the river shouldn't be deep." Ling Chuanye paused and said, "However, the river is a bit wide. I didn't cross it. Maybe the depth of the water in the middle is uncertain."

Zhao Hao's face was a little dark.

His subordinates are all from the north, few of them know how to swim, and it is this kind of underground river, who knows what's in it...

"My people can swim over first." Xie Jue said softly, "Go and tear down the vine, and then swim over with the vine, using the vine as a traction."

There is a Beiming Dragon Snake in Lingchuan, which is a sacred object. Even if there is anything in the river, as long as it is a living thing, it will be scared away by the Beiming Dragon Snake.

Therefore, as long as they hold a rope, they can cross the river.

Ling Chuanye grinned: "That's what I was going to say, well, if you have had enough rest, then go, after a while, the water should be the shallowest."

When Ling Chuanye said it, Zhao Hao and the others didn't understand what it meant, but they understood it when they reached the dark river.

The dark cave was not wide, but after going out, it suddenly became clear. It was a huge cave in the middle of the mountain, and even three torches lit at the same time could not illuminate all the space.

Where the light shines, you can see that after the dark hole exits, there is a gravel field about a thousand square meters wide.

The ground is full of pebbles the size of a fist.

Some of those pebbles are as smooth as jade without any traces, while others are covered with moss that shines with orchid light under the firelight.

The further you go down, the thicker the moss on the cobblestones.

Xie Jue asked the guards to stand in a line holding the torches. Under the light of the fire, they could clearly see the mossy cobblestones formed a few obvious line marks.

That should be the trace left by the ups and downs of the dark river.

And when they arrived, the water level was at the last line of moss.

Xie Jue's two guards took off their coats and prepared to go down with only their underwear on while holding the vines.

"Wait." Xie Jue called out, and smiled at Ling Chuanye: "I have to trouble you, I'm afraid there are troublesome things in this river."

Ling Chuanye smiled, winked at Su Yue, took off the leather jacket on his body and handed it to Su Yue, "Help me hold it."

Su Yue took the clothes and said nervously, "Then, what's in the river?"

If Xie Jue said troublesome things, he must not be an ordinary guy!

Ling Chuanye waved his arms and said, "It's just some fish that have no eyes and will come up whenever they smell blood."

"A piranha?" Su Yue's teeth chattered a little.

In her previous life, she had watched a documentary about a small fish in the Amazon River, which was not big in size but had extremely sharp teeth. A cow was besieged by a group of fish, and it only took a few minutes to become a skeleton.

Why is this kind of fish also found underground in the north?

Thinking about it this way, Su Yue unconsciously pulled Ling Chuanye back and said, "You..."

Don't go down, you are definitely not enough for those fish with your small body!
Ling Chuanye said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I put the North Underworld Dragon Snake on the vine, and the fish would not dare to approach it. Besides, I don't smell blood on me."

The ones who smell blood are the two around you, as well as the injured guards and personal guards.

Xie Jue snorted at him twice, took Su Yue's hand off without showing any signs of expression, and said to the guards: "You and Mr. Ye pass this way, you, put this snake over there, you guys, go over there Wash the wound, and then cut a few times on the snake."

As Xie Jue said, the guards who were pointing their fingers started to move, and the two dragged the snake to a place 300 meters away from where Ling Chuanye and the others crossed the river. Several of the guards with more wounds followed and took off their clothes. To take a bath.

When the wound entered the water, the blood stains that had condensed on it melted into the water.

After cleaning up a few places, the guards quickly went ashore and opened a few holes in the snake by the way.

Under the light of the torch, one could see that the water surface in that place seemed to be boiling, and countless water flowers were rushing up, and from time to time, fish the size of a palm jumped out of the water.

"Let's go!" Ling Chuanye yelled, pulling the vines and getting into the water.

Xie Jue's two guards also hurriedly followed.

Looking at the dark river from this side, it was not clear how wide it was due to the light of the fire. It was only after Ling Chuanye and the guards swam to the other side with torches that the river was actually not wide, only a dozen meters.

Of course, it's also because the water level is now the shallowest. If you look at the first line of moss, the river is at least [-] meters wide.

If they crossed the river at that time, unless they were carrying the Northern Dark Dragon Snake on their body like Ling Chuanye, otherwise they would have a big snake as bait, and those who crossed the river would not be able to escape the attack of those fish.

Ling Chuanye and the two guards led the way, and Xie Jue's guards followed one after another.

Most of Xie Jue's bodyguards followed him through Baghdad (the second time), and they ran down the sea for more than a year, even if the water quality is not good.

Two people were protecting the vines, and a few people were exploring the depth of the water.

Then he raised his head and shouted: "You can come over and walk with the vines."

"Go!" Zhao Hao ordered, and his personal guards also took off their coats one after another, put the clothes on their heads with one hand, and supported the vines with the other to cross the river.

"Tang Bing, can you drive Yue'er?" Seeing those people crossing the river, Xie Jue frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

Looking at the depth of the water, it was not up to the necks of the guards, but it would definitely cover Su Yue's head, and Su Yue had already suffered from the cold, so soaking in such frozen water would not be good for her health.

"Yes!" Tang Bing responded with one word, and squatted down in front of Su Yue.

"Xiao Tang, your hand." Su Yue hesitated.

"It's nothing, as long as the girl doesn't move around." Tang Bing replied in a deep voice with her head lowered.

"Hurry up! The snake is going to be eaten!"

The guard who had been staring at the big snake by the river shouted.

Without any further hesitation, Su Yue climbed onto Tang Bing's shoulder.

And another guard also carried Xie Jue on his back.
