Should we go down or follow the top of the wall? What do you think? Gong Yun asked and picked up something like a brick and threw it down. As for what the thing was, he didn't look carefully. He just felt that it was much heavier than a brick of the same size.
Walk around on it and see if there is an end. Sato Sato carefully inspected the inner slope of the wall before responding.
Did you see anything? What's going on down here? Gong Yun asked.
I'm not sure what they are doing. I can only conclude that there are often golden monkeys in this place, and there are many traces on the ground. Sasato explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of an object falling into the water from below.
The two people looked at each other suspiciously. Several minutes had passed since Gong Yun dropped the thing. They also thought how deep it was under the wall. The sound doesn't sound very deep now.
In order to confirm the source of the sound, Gong Yun once again violently grabbed a piece of the building from the wall and threw it down. It's different from last time. The last time he rolled the brick-like thing down the slope of the wall.
The reason why it took so long for the sound to come up was probably due to the delay caused by the brick getting stuck somewhere and then sliding down again.
Sure enough, a moment later the sound of something falling into the water was heard again.
This place is the water collection place for this underground world? Is this a reservoir? Gong Yun muttered to himself in confusion.
Because this is very illogical. You must know that this underground space should have been built deep underground. It is very easy to collect water. Not only is it very easy, in theory, there must be strong drainage facilities to protect this underground space. The space is not flooded. Why build a reservoir?
But this is not something they should explore now, just treat it as a reservoir. Their main responsibility is to detect whether there is a big danger. Of course, while detecting whether there is a big danger, they also have the purpose of looking for possible big benefits.
As to whether this place is a reservoir or some other facility, this is not within the scope of their investigation. All they need to do is confirm whether the place is a water storage facility.
Since there is the sound of water, this place shouldn't be too deep. The two people discussed it and decided to go down and check it out. If they confirmed that there was no danger or that there was nothing to take, they could go to other places with peace of mind.
Walking down the steep slope, the two people discovered that it seemed that they could not reach the water's edge at all. Because in this humid environment, the further you go down, the slipperier your feet become. It seems that there is a layer of sticky and slippery things attached to the steep slope. If you make a mistake, you will lose control and slide down directly.
Although Gong Yun could cross the water, he couldn't tell whether it was water or not. Naturally, I won't just slide down stupidly. If it were a liquid like sulfuric acid, wouldn't it mean that there would be no bones left?
However, judging from the attachments on the slope at the foot, the possibility of liquid such as sulfuric acid can be basically ruled out, but it definitely should not be water. Because if there is water below, there shouldn't be anything like this attached to it.
Therefore, whether to continue or not has become the question to be decided now. According to Gong Yun, now that we are here, we need to go down and see what happens.
Zuo Zuotou thought it was unnecessary, and explained very straightforwardly that there couldn't be anything Gong Yun thought was valuable down there.
These words made Gong Yun very speechless. This meant that he would not leave if he didn't get something.
However, he still insisted on going down to see what was going on, because from this position, under the illumination of the flashlight, he could already vaguely see the reflected light below.
Zuo Zuoteng just made a suggestion, Gong Yun insisted, and naturally he would not have a disagreement with Gong Yun over such a small matter. There happened to be a pile not far from them. It looked like the end of a pipe protruding from the wall.
Zuo Zuotou went over and knocked it with the back of his short knife, and the pipe made a unique metal vibrating sound. After confirming the firmness, the rope was fixed on top, and the two people pulled the rope and continued downward.
After descending another thirty meters, the two people finally reached the bottom of the wall, where the sticky and slippery attachments were gone.
Not only is there no liquid like water under your feet, it is actually very stiff, giving you a very solid feeling when walking on it.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, there was reflected light about twenty meters away from them, and the two people walked quickly over looking for the light.
This was indeed a pool, and the water was very dirty. Zuo Saotou squatted down and checked it.
This is silt. Gong Yun squatted beside Zuo Zuoteng, scooped up some mud, checked it and made sure. But why is there silt in this place? It's still fresh?
To say that the silt is fresh is not to say how good its texture is. How could the silt be so fresh? To say it is fresh is based on the environment here. This is an underground hole that has existed for hundreds of years. If these sediments are from hundreds of years ago, they are completely different from the open-air silt of running water. Sediments in closed environments smell. The mud at the bottom of lakes or rivers has a strong smell of aquatic plants and fish.
Go over there and have a look. Zuo Zuotou stood up, grabbed a handful of relatively dry soil and wiped the mud off his hands.
The bottom area of this suspected reservoir is not very large. Standing in the middle, a flashlight can barely illuminate the edges at both ends. Behind them is the place where they just came down, so now unless they want to go back, there is only one direction to go.
Although the ground here is made of dirt, it is generally relatively flat, and the two people walked very quickly. After walking for about ten minutes, Zuo Zuoteng suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Gong Yun.
A slightly whitish shadow stood in front of them. The flashlight's illumination distance was not enough to clearly distinguish what it was. But based on the outline, it looks like a strangely positioned creature standing there.
The reason why there is an outline. It's because this thing is not black, it is white, and it seems to have a fluorescent effect. After being illuminated by a flashlight, a faint fluorescent light is vaguely reflected.
It shouldn't be a living thing. Gong Yun stared at the trace for a moment and made a judgment. It's very simple. If this thing is a living creature, there is no way that two people can't move at all when they are so close. From the opponent's standpoint, they are intruders. How could they stay there and wait for them to come?
Yes, Zuo Saotou agreed, pointed the flashlight at the object and slowly moved forward.
Gong Yun looked at Zuo Zuoteng's posture and made a sound of contempt. If the thing was alive, being so cautious wouldn't have any effect at all, and if the thing wasn't alive, it would be even more unnecessary.
