With a splash, the eleven people dived into the pool and dived underwater for a while. When they surfaced, they entered the rushing dark river.
The Qiu brothers couldn't help but cheer. Although they were still under the Frozen Gorge, they had not actually escaped very far, but the presence of a river meant there must be an exit. They successfully embarked on the road to escape, and the Frozen Gorge above had already Belonging to two worlds.
Song Laoliu took out the flint he had collected, and Yao Laoqi pulled out a stick of wood from the baggage. The stick was smeared with thick grease and was very easy to ignite. When a few sparks hit it, flames immediately burst into flames. It was obvious that they were The gang had actually made various escape preparations for a long time, and they all came in handy today.
Under the light of the fire, Yao Laoqi distributed the skins in the baggage to everyone one by one. Everyone got one, and they all played it, holding it in their arms to increase their buoyancy.
The three extra skin bags were tied with ropes to the big bag Wu Sheng sealed, making it much easier to drag. No need to ask too much, just float downstream along the underground river. Most of the direction the river flows is towards the exit.
The water in the underground river is calm and quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel panicked. It is also very cold, making people shiver constantly. The speed of the water is not very fast, about ten miles per hour, but this speed is quite satisfactory. Compared with walking in the ice and snow outside, here
It's simply a wonderland.
On both sides and above the river bank, there are beautiful stalactites everywhere, and some places are even covered with icicles and ice bamboo shoots, which look crystal clear under the firelight.
Everyone admired the unique scenery of the underground river, recalled the miserable days in the past, and their hearts were filled with good expectations for their future careers.
Wu Shiyi suddenly asked: "Up above, it should be dawn, right?"
Yao Laoqi said: "It's less than an hour. The torch made by Yao can burn for an hour, and it's not finished yet."
Wu Shiyi sighed: "It feels like... time passes so slowly..."
Song Laoliu held up a torch and asked, "Eleven, have you been here for almost three years?"
Wu Shiyi said slowly: "Every day is like a year."
Song Laoliu said: "I have been here for nine years. It has been nine years, and I am not in a hurry at this moment."
Everyone fell silent again. I don't know how long it took. The torch in Song Laoliu's school gradually went out. Yao Laoqi took out another stick from the bag and was about to hand it to Song Laoliu. Wu Sheng stopped him: "Don't waste it. Just keep it first."
So everyone continued to drift in the dark river, while Wu Sheng counted in his mind. Every time he counted three hundred times, he asked everyone to report one by one to show that there was nothing abnormal about him.
When he counted to three thousand six hundred, he announced to everyone: "We have traveled another five miles. We are fifteen miles away from the Frozen Gorge. There may still be an hour before dawn. When Yin Lingluo discovers that we are not here, We should be twenty-five miles away from her."
The crowd cheered, and in the midst of the cheers, Boss Tian suddenly shouted: "No, light the torch!"
Song Laoliu immediately lit the torch and discovered that the underground river branched here, one to the left and the other to the right, forming a whirlpool at the branch.
Everyone turned their attention to Wu Sheng and asked him to choose.
Wu Sheng looked at the two underground rivers on the left and right and pondered for a moment, then pointed to the left and said: "Go here, the river here is wide, it should be the main river channel."
The reason was legitimate and no one raised any objection, so everyone floated down to the left.
This reason was not the real reason why Wu Sheng chose the river on the left. The real reason was that he felt that there was something vaguely calling him in the river on the left. It was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Floating forward along the river, some lights suddenly appeared on the top of the rock in front, like crystals or ice edges reflecting some kind of brilliance. After walking for several dozen feet, there was more and more light above the top of the rock, which looked like twinkling stars in the night sky. The Qiu brothers couldn't help it anymore. The elder brother lifted up his younger brother, reached up to touch the light, and then took it off.
"It's a crystal!" Qiu Fatty shouted, throwing the crystal to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng took it and saw that it was a crystal the size of a fingernail. It contained spiritual power and flowed gracefully, so it glowed. Wu Sheng opened his mouth and looked left and right. If he hadn't been surrounded by Xuan Mingzi, Wan Baochang, and Brother Qiu,
My brother and others almost thought they were back to a certain day in the past.
While in a trance, Wei Laojiu suddenly said: "Is there something under the water?"
Song Laoliu next to him lit the torch again. As soon as the fire was lit, a short black shadow jumped out from the bottom of the water and rushed towards Song Laoliu. Song Laoliu was horrified and pointed the torch at the black shadow. The black shadow bit the torch, bit it off, twisted his body and fell into the water again.
In the short moment just now, under the firelight, the black shadow revealed its original appearance. It was a strange fish about a foot long. When the strange fish opened its mouth to bite the torch, it revealed two rows of sharp teeth, which were very fierce. Song Lao Liu almost died.
"There is also...ah! Arm!" A scream came from Fatty Qiu, and a piece of meat was bitten off his arm by a strange fish.
Tian Da shouted: "Swim over quickly, rush over, don't stop..."
Wu Sheng immediately stopped him: "Swim back, swim back, you can't go any further!"
Long Er said: "Fellow Daoist Wu, let's just rush along with the current. Turning back is against the current!"
Wu Sheng said angrily: "Listen to me, swim back, quickly! Hold the shore and swim back! This fish won't catch up!"
Wu Sheng had a clear judgment on what he would encounter ahead, and 90% of the time he would encounter a large number of strange fish. None of the people present have recovered their cultivations, and they are no different from ordinary people. After rushing over, they will definitely be chewed by the strange fish until no bones are left. In fact, even he himself was not completely sure that he could rush over. Although they were made of copper skin and iron bones, the sharpness of the fangs of these strange fishes was quite frightening.
The most important thing is that there may be a big fish ahead. If he accidentally falls into an unknown place, as long as he delays for a few days, the world of heaven and earth will really not be able to save him.
Long Er still wanted to argue, but Tian Da stopped him: "Listen to him!"
Everyone swam hard to both sides of the underground river, pulling on the rock walls on the river bank to swim back. They moved slowly, but they left the area one foot at a time.
Just as Wu Sheng said, the strange fish did not catch up and allowed them to escape from the dangerous waters.
Tian Da swam to Wu Sheng and asked, "Wu Daoyou has seen this kind of fish?"
Wu Sheng nodded and said: "This kind of fish lives in groups, not just one, but hundreds or even thousands. This road is blocked. Let's go back and go to the other side."
Tian Da asked: "What if the same is true on the other side?"
Wu Sheng pointed to the cave above and said, "Then dig up and dig all the way out."
Everyone looked back with lingering fear. The crystals over there were still shining on the top of the underground river. The scenery was beautiful. But when they thought of the swarms of strange fish below, everyone shuddered. If they really rushed over, I'm afraid it will be torn into pieces immediately.
So everyone followed Wu Sheng and swam to another river.
