4680. Chapter 4680 The Dugu Family’s Crisis 1
It didn't take long for him to find one end of the underground river and the other, but he gained nothing at all. He frowned secretly. Along the way, he did not find the fourth corpse, which meant that the person who came out of the cage must have escaped. If that's the case, then why can't he find a way out? After pondering for a moment, he turned his attention to the underground river in front of him. The only place I haven't searched yet is this river. However, this underground river has become stagnant water, and there is no sign of living water flowing, indicating that the bottom of the river is blocked.
"There's no other way anyway, so why not give it a try." With the thought coming together, he immediately took action. After turning on the body-protecting Qi, Leng Xuan held his breath, then jumped into the underground river. After entering the water, Leng Xuan looked around and found that the underground river was more than three meters deep, and the bottom of the river was full of silt. He swam forward, looking both ways. Not long after, he discovered a hole in the side of the river bottom. The hole was not big, only about half a meter in diameter, just enough to accommodate Leng Xuan's body. Leng Xuan swung his feet gently, urging his body to slowly swim into the cave. Not long after entering the cave, Leng Xuan felt that the river water began to gradually become colder, and the temperature of the river water outside the cave was very different.
"Sure enough, there is something weird." Leng Xuan thought to himself, then speeded up and swam forward.
After swimming forward for more than twenty meters, Leng Xuan found that the passage had reached the end, and there was a narrow hole above his head. He swung his body and came to the edge of the hole, then stuck his head out of the water and looked around the hole a few times. Seeing that there was no danger, he jumped out of the water. After walking forward in the cave for a while, a hoarse voice suddenly came to his ears: "After all these years, someone is finally here." Hearing this sudden voice, Leng Xuan was slightly startled, and immediately put his guard up and sighed. The voice said: "Who is it? Come out!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the hoarse voice continue: "You can see me if you go forward." After hearing this, Leng Xuan walked slowly forward. . Not long after, an old man appeared in his sight. I saw the old man slumped on the ground, his clothes torn, his hair disheveled, stained with filth, and carrying a strong stench. Not only that, the old man's hands and feet were all broken. Leng Xuan asked: "Who are you?" The old man said slowly: "I am Dugu Tianyang." Leng Xuan was slightly startled, a member of the Dugu family? At this time, the old man asked again: "Boy, are you a descendant of the Dugu family?"
Leng Xuan shook his head and said, "No, my name is Leng Xuan. I came to the Dugu family to ask to see the head of the Dugu family." Dugu Tianyang sighed softly: "I thought he was a descendant of the Dugu family." Hearing the disappointment in his tone, Leng Xuan asked: "Old man, since you are a member of the Dugu family, why have you fallen into this situation?" After hearing this, Dugu Tianyang did not answer directly, but asked: "Who is the head of the Dugu family now?" Leng Xuan replied: "As far as I know, it seems to be Dugu Tiancan." Dugu Tianyang's expression darkened slightly and asked: "Is the Dugu family okay now?" Leng Xuan hesitated: "Well... I'm not very good at it. Understood." Dugu Tianyang nodded, sighed bitterly, and then turned to ask: "Your name is Leng Xuan, right? Why are you looking for the head of the Dugu family?"
