Zhou Zhou and Ge Ji were still in the middle of the team. After losing Wang Ce and Youyou, the entire team was still moving forward in a right triangle formation.
"Professor Yuan Zhenhua, can you hear me?"
"Hey, Professor Yuan Zhenhua, can you hear me?"
Han Fei held a satellite phone in his hand and tried to communicate with Yuan Zhenhua, but inside the cave, it seemed that the signal source was completely blocked, and there was no response at all.
At this moment, the cave was very dark, illuminated entirely by the searchlights on everyone's foreheads.
"It's strange, I don't feel the air flow here, but there is plenty of oxygen here!"
As Yunzhu walked, he felt something was wrong, because there were no branching roads here at all, and everyone almost kept walking along the cave.
But after walking for so long, there was no trace of a large group of people passing by.
"Yes! Platoon leader Han Fei, why don't we withdraw first? Then Professor Yuan Zhenhua can't possibly run faster than us, right?"
Waiting had already begun to think about quitting. Before coming in, he even trapped Wang Ce and the little girl outside the cave in order to compete for the distribution of profits.
I originally thought that this was the cave of Gonggong, the water god, and it should be a place of inheritance, with many treasures hidden in it.
But now it's better. After walking for a long time, I didn't find anything. Not to mention, I even lost the mission target, Professor Yuan Zhenhua!
I felt a little regretful while waiting for the flight. I had known that I wouldn't have bothered with the profit distribution yesterday. If I had come down earlier, at least the mission objective would have been accomplished.
"We've come this far, just hold on!"
"When I talked to Professor Yuan Zhenhua before, he only said that this was a huge cave, and did not say that there was a long and narrow tunnel here."
"In other words, the corridor we are walking on now only appeared during the last phone call with Professor Yuan Zhenhua!"
"We have already broken through the mutant silverbait swarm, there is no reason to back down at this time."
Platoon leader Han Fei was mobilizing. For soldiers, military orders are greater than the sky.
The mission he received was to rescue Professor Yuan Zhenhua. Even though he knew that this corridor seemed a bit weird, he could only rush forward bravely.
"Platoon Commander Han Fei, the material of this tunnel is not stone, but wood!"
Zhou Zhou, who was lagging behind, suddenly spoke, which also caused quite a commotion.
Everyone has always thought that this is a cave at the bottom of a lake, and the material is naturally hard rock.
But Zhou Zhou's words woke everyone up. It turned out that the corridor they had walked for so long was actually made of wood.
"Look! This is a broken watch. It seems that Professor Yuan Zhenhua and the others should have passed by here!"
Zhou Banshan picked up a golden watch in a corner. The strap was broken.
This was the only time everyone saw traces along the way.
"They shouldn't be far away, catch up quickly!"
Han Fei took the lead, and everyone's pace quickened again.
Just after everyone left, the originally silent corridor suddenly changed.
The way back was actually blocked, and then a new corridor was extended.
Here, Wang Ce couldn't help but be a little stunned after seeing the situation outside from inside the four-legged bronze square tripod.
Youyou said that turbot will excrete feces in the treasure area. This is their habit.
Unexpectedly, there is a huge underground river in the deepest part of the lake.
But at the entrance of the underground river, an extremely strange ancient tree grows.
This ancient tree takes root at the entrance of the underground river and controls the water source of the entire lake.
The reason why this ancient tree is very strange is that except for a straight trunk, the ancient tree does not even have a branch or a leaf!
If it weren't for the texture on it, Wang Ce might not be able to recognize it as a tree.
At this moment, this strange tree was blocking the entrance of the underground river, going in and out, constantly rising and falling.
The water source of the entire lake comes from this hole.
The entrance of the cave is connected to the underground river and presents an oval shape.
At this moment, the thick trunk of this ancient tree is twitching continuously at the junction of the oval underground river, and the speed and frequency are very fast!
Every time it twitches, a large amount of living water will gush out.
This living water is different from the clearness of the lake. The living water brought out by the twitching of the tree trunks has some milky white color, and it actually contains spiritual power.
And those treasure-hunting fish were sucking crazily at the milky white liquid that escaped.
Every time the tree trunk twitches, the treasure-hunting fish suck part of it and never tire of it.
Moreover, these treasure hunter fish are very disciplined. After the treasure hunter fish inside takes a sip, they will automatically run outside to queue up.
This cycle goes back and forth.
And the treasure-hunting fish king kept sucking the milky white liquid.
In fact, because it is so strong, it can even cling to a thick tree trunk and constantly rub against the fish's body.
Seeing this strange scene, Wang Ce was so shocked that he was speechless.
Obviously, the reason why this school of turbot fish dominates the entire lake is probably related to sucking these milky white liquids.
"I'm afraid this tree trunk is a treasure!"
"Hey, let's see if we can find an opportunity to steal this and the tree trunk - no, take it away!"
Wang Ce originally wanted to say steal, but abruptly changed it to take. He couldn't lead the children into bad ways.
Soon, the turbot fish had eaten and drank enough and left the area one after another.
And those milky white liquids are still being produced, gradually spreading as the lake flows.
"It seems that other species have also evolved due to sucking the milky white liquid!"
This also explains why the creatures in the lake can coexist peacefully. Everyone has no shortage of cultivation resources, so there is no need to fight to the death.
The reason why the mutated silverbait swarms attack everyone is probably because they think these humans want to covet their treasures.
From this point of view, everyone was completely wronged.
"Well!"
When Wang Ce and Youyou came out, they were covered in treasure hunter fish feces.
The feces of the treasure hunter fish were in the form of hard particles. If they were scattered, the two of them would probably be sickened to death.
After cleaning up his body in the lake, Wang Ce waved his hand while the mutated whitebait group was away, and Youyou also understood it.
Directly collect all the silverbait's feces into the space of the four-legged bronze square tripod.
Use it as fertilizer for mutated mango trees and Chinese cabbage.
Chinese cabbage grows very fast, and in a few days, it will probably be ready for picking. As for the mango tree, it is also growing like crazy to the naked eye.
In just a few days, it has already reached a height of four or five meters.
With this wave of fertilization, I'm afraid the mutated mango tree will soon bear fruit!
"Brother Wang Ce, look!"
Youyou pulled Wang Ce and motioned Wang Ce to look down. Wang Ce's eyes widened in shock before he could look down.
What shocked him was that Yoyo could actually talk in the water?
Following Youyou's fleshy little hand, Wang Ce looked down, and saw that underneath the bare tree trunk were intricate tree roots.
These tree roots are densely packed and seem to be extremely flexible, constantly swaying.
And those milky white liquids are the product of tree roots swinging!
At this moment, the tree trunk seemed to enter an extremely excited state, and the twitching speed suddenly accelerated, forming a vortex with extremely strong suction!
