Chapter 565 Underground River

Chapter 565 Underground River

The passage of the cave is extremely dark.

There is no contact with the outside world here, and no light shines in. In addition, before this kind of weather, the inside is dark and humid. Walking down, you can smell a puff of water vapor.

Even though it was dark and he couldn't see his fingers, it didn't affect Tang Feng's vision at all. Everything was clear in his eyes.

But Ji Ning can't do this. As a martial artist, through practice, his physical and sensory abilities are several times better than ordinary people, but it's only better than ordinary people, and he can't produce some things that humans don't have out of thin air. ability.

The reason why the eyes can see things is that objects reflect light and form images on the retina of the eyes. Ji Ning's eyes can see things under weak light conditions. This is what surpasses ordinary people.

But within this channel, there is no light at all, and naturally there is no reflection, even martial arts can't see anything.

Tang Feng saw that Ji Ning had turned on the bright flashlight, so he handed him a Bright Eyes Pill, and said, "Take it, it will be effective within twelve hours."

"Thank you sir." Ji Ning took it and put it in his mouth without asking what kind of elixir it was.

He only felt a breath rushing toward his eyes, and then he felt an incomparable coolness in his eyes. He closed them, and when he opened them again, everything in front of him became extremely clear.

"Close it, so as not to overwhelm the snake." Tang Feng said in a low voice, and then continued to walk forward.

Ji Ning turned off the flashlight, but within his line of sight, he was not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, he felt that he could see more clearly. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickened his pace to catch up with Tang Feng. It has become much lighter.

At the beginning, the passage was a very gentle slope, extending forward. Tang Feng looked around with extremely vigilant eyes while walking.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage are very smooth, with traces of artificial excavation.

Tang Feng didn't feel strange about this point. After all, it was impossible for such a purely natural passage to appear in this mountainside. When he entered, he already guessed that this passage must be man-made.

Although in this kind of place, digging such a deep and long passage is not in line with common sense, and it is extremely consuming manpower and material resources, how did those people do it when they dug it?

Ji Ning touched the stone wall with his hand, and whispered: "Mr. Tang, it seems that the inside of this passage is too humid. It doesn't seem to be caused by the outside climate. We have never encountered such a situation in the cave before. .”

Although his voice was very low, there was still a buzzing echo behind this channel.

Tang Feng took a look, and could see tiny drops of water on the stone wall. Although small, they were very dense, and it could be seen that there was a lot of moisture in them.

"This is really unusual," Tang Feng nodded, "be careful."

The two walked along the passage for about two kilometers, and the slope began to become steeper, and the downward slope became more and more obvious. At first, it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, but at this time, they could already feel it under their feet.

Ji Ning said: "There is no turning during this journey. It seems that this passage is extremely long. Although the Kunlun Mountains are so vast, even if the passage is tens of thousands of meters long, it is possible. But if it runs through the entire I'm afraid that the mountain range will not be able to go to the end for a while, but it is strange, why someone dug a passage in this mountain? Is it really the entrance of a certain sect as Zixuan said?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. If it is a sect, there are a lot of ways to deceive people. There is no need to use such methods."

For a sect to be able to form a climate, it must have its own housekeeping skills, and it is impossible to fail to do this.

While speaking, the slope under their feet became steeper and steeper. The two of them were almost trotting forward. They both noticed that the ground under their feet was very smooth, as if it had been polished.

Ji Ning tried his best to stabilize his footsteps, and said to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, do you feel that no one has been in this passage for a long time? But why do I feel that there seems to be something strange?"

"Don't move." Tang Feng stood still abruptly, stretched out his hand, and stopped Ji Ning.

At the same time, Ji Ning abruptly stopped his steps. He also saw that the passage was cut in two from the middle, and there was a gap more than 20 meters long. The bottom was also black.

"There is the sound of water below." Ji Ning listened for a while, and there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes.

He heard the very slight sound of water flowing, which came from under his feet.

"Underground river, it's not surprising." Tang Feng stood at the fracture and looked down. He could see the ground about ten meters below, gray-white rocks covered with water marks.

Whether it is more than ten meters downwards or more than twenty meters ahead, it is not difficult for Tang Feng, he can reach it easily, but at this moment, he is thinking about which way to go .

Ji Ning also looked down, sniffled, and said, "There seems to be a fishy smell."

There was indeed a faint stench in the air, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Tang Feng had already confirmed that this smell was also coming up from below, to be precise, it was coming up from the water below.

"Go down and see what's in the water." Tang Feng jumped down while talking.

Ji Ning also followed closely, and the two of them landed on the ground below very easily. In front of them, a dark stream of water appeared.

The water surface is about ten meters wide, very calm, the flow speed is very slow, and there is only a very slight sound of water.

"It really is an underground river. No wonder there is so much moisture in this channel. The original source is here." Ji Ning looked in the direction of the water flow, but he couldn't see the end at a glance, "There doesn't seem to be much life in this water. How can there be such a smell?"

According to common sense, the water quality of the underground river is quite good because it is not polluted. In the Kunlun Mountains, far away from human industry, it should be clear and sweet. Why is there a stench?

Tang Feng stood on the edge of the river, looked into the water, and said calmly, "Come and see this way."

Ji Ning walked over as he said, with some doubts in his eyes, he looked into the water, and his eyes widened immediately after only one glance. He opened his mouth and let out a soft "ah".
