From seeing it

Hu Shengzhe said inwardly, "We are now at least 2,500 meters above the ground, and if we go down, we may break through 3,000 meters at any time."

Xiao Ling raised his head, looked at the darkness above, and couldn't help taking a deep breath. In the past, he couldn't even imagine that one day he would go deep into the underground world three kilometers below the Rob Desert known as the Sea of ​​Death. , and encountered such a bizarre event, witnessed the ancient strange beasts recorded in ancient books and the disappearing ancient Yu Dynasty civilization.

Everyone went down the crack of the slope and entered a huge cave. In the boundless darkness, no light was available, and they couldn't see how vast the giant cave was. They could only see it through the light beam swept by the searchlight in Sun Tao's hand. There are a large number of stalactites hanging upside down on the top. These stalactites vary in size, the small ones are about one or two meters long, and the large ones are about ten meters long, hanging down.

In the eyes of everyone, everyone was a little scared, lest these stalactites suddenly break and fall, and once hit, they would immediately turn into a ball of fleshy paste.

When everyone entered this huge cave, there was a strange plant that looked like a leek growing on the ground. Among these plants, there was a kind of blue flower blooming. Under the light, there was a kind of misty blueness rising, which made people feel faint. I feel that these flowers are a little strange.

"I didn't expect so many Zhu Yu to grow here. I don't have to worry about not having enough food now." Hu Shengzhe nodded slightly when he saw the plants and blue flowers all over the ground. Although he is not a botanist like Song Jifu, he is also good at geological research. Meet many strange plants that grow in special environments, and recognize these plants immediately.

Xiao Ling said, "Are these plants edible?" He thought it was the first time he had heard of a plant called Zhu Yu.

Hu Shengzhe nodded and said: "Yes, this Zhuyu flower is edible and has high nutritional value. If it is eaten for a long time, it can prolong life. It is a heterogeneous species that is recorded in ancient books."

Hearing what Hu Shengzhe said, Sun Tao swept the beam of the spotlight in his hand in all directions. Everyone found that this kind of plant was growing everywhere in the depths of the cave, and all kinds of blue flowers were connected into one piece, reflecting a layer of The misty blue light is very dreamy.

Wang Lei said: "We are running out of food, do you want to pick some leftover flowers for emergencies?"

Zhou Kesheng shook his head and said, "Time is getting tighter and tighter, don't waste time on this kind of thing."

Hu Shengzhe said: "This kind of plant is full of vitality. Since this Zhuyu flower has appeared here, there should be everywhere in this area. If the food is really gone, it will not be too late for us to use this flower to satisfy our hunger. And this kind of Zhuyu picking If you take it, you need to eat it immediately, and if you store it, it will lose the effect of satisfying hunger."

Seeing that both of them had said that, Wang Lei didn't mention it again.

Everyone carefully walked along these Zhuyu flower bushes, and the terrain slanted downward, which meant that everyone was still going deeper into the ground.

Hu Shengzhe's guess is correct, this kind of Zhu Yu is full of vitality, the further you go, the more Zhu Yu flowers appear, and in the end it almost forms a sea of ​​blue flowers.

"It's amazing Zhu Yuhua, how do they grow so vigorously in this darkness." Xiao Ling murmured.

The previous flood of undead mushrooms was due to the undead tree, but what is the reason for this Zhuyuhua? Could it be that there are ancient and strange plants like the undead tree deep in the ground?

Everyone walked down the sea of ​​flowers, and soon heard the sound of water coming from the depths below.

In the depths of this cave, there is an underground river.

When everyone passed through the sea of ​​flowers, they all stopped.

At the end of the front, there is some faint light, which is the reflection of phosphorescence on the rock wall, which makes it not so dark here.

Sun Tao, who was walking in front, shot forward with a searchlight, and an underground river with a width of more than 30 meters lay in front of everyone.

With the help of the spotlight in Sun Tao's hand, Xiao Ling saw mushroom-shaped rock pillars standing on the other side of the river. Behind each rock pillar there were several huge boulders with traces of artificial carvings. Following the shape of the rock, Carved into a simple and ugly form of demon god, it looks very primitive and simple.

Behind this simple and unsophisticated rock carving of the demon god, a huge stone gate can be vaguely seen, but the distance is too far, hidden in the depths of darkness, Xiao Ling can no longer see it clearly.

Zhou Kesheng let out a long breath suddenly and unfolded the map.

A team member held a camping light, turned on the light, and hurriedly approached.

Xiao Ling also squeezed over to look at the map.

With the help of the light from the camping lantern, Zhou Kesheng unfolded a new map. On this map, a horizontal river was being drawn. A huge stone gate stood on the other side of the river. On the stone gate, a yin-yang fish pattern resembling the sun was drawn.

Xiao Ling saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved, and the words "Pisces Jade Pendant" blurted out.

The eyes of the few people who came around were all brightened, and their spirits lifted.

Zhou Kesheng had already rolled up the map, squinted his eyes, and looked at the other bank of the river. His voice became deep and powerful, and he paused every word, saying: "Yes, the Pisces jade pendant is on the other side."

This scientific expedition has gone through untold hardships and sacrificed more than a dozen lives. The ultimate goal is the mysterious Pisces jade pendant in the legend. Now, it is finally in sight.

Everyone got excited and looked towards the other side of the river one after another, but they were too far away in the darkness, they could only vaguely see the Mushroom Rock and the inscriptions on the ancient Demon God Rock, but they could no longer see clearly.

After calming down from the excitement, everyone's eyes fell on the underground river in front of them.

This river doesn't know where it starts from, and it doesn't know where it ends, but what everyone needs to do now is to cross it and reach the other side.

Sun Tao shot the light of the searchlight into the darkness on both sides, and said: "This place is relatively narrow, but it is at least 30 meters wide. I don't know how deep the river is now, so we can't rush into the water. By the way, what are you doing?" Can people swim?"

Among the crowd, the team members led by Sun Tao can swim. Other than that, only Zhou Kesheng and Yu Tingting can swim. The others including Xiao Ling are landlubbers.

Sun Tao nodded and said, "It's fine if you can swim most of the time, but it's only about 30 meters away, and you can pass when the next one brings one."

Xiao Ling picked up a small stone from the ground, threw it towards the river, and muttered: "This river may not be very deep, I'm afraid it's not safe in the river."

While talking, he looked up and looked around, but luckily he didn't see the big pale hand, which indicated that this place was safe for the time being.

Sun Tao approached the river and scanned the river with the beam of the searchlight, saying: "Yes, the underground is not safe, but I don't know if there are any dangerous creatures in the river."

Zhou Kesheng frowned, waved his hands, and said, "It's useless to guess too much now, I can only go into the water and try."
