There is a river of darkness!

When I heard the sound of running water, my eyes suddenly lit up. I quickly unscrewed the flashlight handed over by Chen Yun, and put it into the chiseled hole to scan it. The pale light shone in the depths of the cave. We saw a dark river flowing there. At the edge of the river, we could see piles of corpses and semi-circular ivory.

"Ivory again, this thing is always valuable!" Ge Zhuang's eyes shone, and he wanted to fall into it. I reached out from behind, grabbed his belt buckle, and said, "You can calm down for a while, the gap between the underground river is more than ten meters. What's the difference between just jumping down like this and plunging into a steel plate."

Looking back, I asked Lao Zhong to quickly take the rope and search out all the nylon ropes we carried with us. After measuring the length, I found many vines in the ruined temple, poked them into hemp rope strips, tied them to the nylon rope, and fixed them to the broken temple door panel. I tried load-bearing, and found that there was no problem. Finally, I decided that Ge Zhuang and I would take the lead, and Lao Zhong was responsible for the rear of the temple.

The dark river channel is well connected and has many bifurcated tributaries. When I draw the lights from my perspective, I cannot shine the entire structure, which means that the space under the ground must be very open and an independent ecological space is formed in a complete manner.

I was shocked and said, "How could there be such a huge underground space structure? Is this place the tomb of King Gu Yelang?"

"It doesn't look like it." Chen Yun whispered, "No monarch of any dynasty can build a tomb so majestic. Although the ancient Yelang Empire has a high degree of civilization, after all, there is no way to compare with the current people. The space under the dark river must be naturally formed."

That being said, the underground space has been sealed for thousands of years, and it is not a matter of danger. If you think carefully, Ge Zhuang and I still put on a diving suit, tied the rope to our waists, and the person above pulled the other end of the rope, and first put me in the hole.

My body was completely suspended. As the nylon rope was put down little by little, my body gradually approached the river. I was wearing a searchlight on my head. The first task was to find out whether the water flow of the river under our feet was turbulent.

After my body was completely hung from the hole, I adjusted the angle of the searchlight and kept illuminating it around. The pale light shone the water level of the underground river clearly. The water quality of the river is clear, and the strong light can directly penetrate the bottom of the water. The riverbed has spiral reefs, similar to sea reef corals, covered with blue-gray algae, which is indescribable. If you look closely, you can see the fish passing through the water reef, only the length of the little finger, and the whole body is transparent, and you can see the internal organs.

"Little Pumpkin, what's going on below?" When I looked at the dark river under my feet intently, Ge Zhuang's voice quickly sounded above my head.

I looked up and shouted, "It's okay, the water quality of the underground river is clear, not too deep, and the water flow is not fast. Fatty, you can come down."

The hole we chiseled out of the top of our head was not very large in diameter, so we could only put people down one after another. As soon as we finished speaking, I obviously felt that the momentum of the rope head falling was much faster than before.

As the rope fell down, about a minute and a half, my toes touched the cold dark river water. The air in this ghost place was very humid, unlike the rainforest outside the temple. Perhaps it was because of the ancient times lacking sunlight all year round, and the dark water flowed coldly and felt like it fell into an ice hole.

After I got into the water, I quickly reached the bottom with my toes. Fortunately, there was a shallow on this side. The water level of the river could only immerse my waist. I tried to move my body on the soft sand and gravel. I didn't notice any abnormalities. I quickly untied the rope tied to my waist and pulled it hard.

The above immediately responded. Lao Zhong pulled the other end of the rope and pulled it hard. The rope quickly rose and disappeared at the hole in a short while. After about two minutes, another strong light sprinkled down and hit my face. Ge Zhuang's voice came from his ear, "Little pumpkin, I'm going to come down too!"

I said you go down quickly, this place is safe for the time being, don’t waste time!

The sound was heard far from the gap in the vast cracks. I quickly covered my mouth and stopped talking. Although there was a dead silence around me, this did not mean that there were no other living things in the cracks. The calmer the place was, the more terrifying it was. I wanted to avoid making any sound to destroy the calm here.

Ge Zhuang fell very vigorously. In less than half a minute, it hung on top of my head. I reached out to answer, pulled the fat man off, and unbuttoned the hidden button on his waist. When Lao Zhong pulled the rope up, Ge Zhuang also began to observe the surrounding environment.

The location we are at should belong to the upper part of the river. The air humidity is high in this place, and mountain springs are constantly seeping through the stone walls. These waters pass through the underground troughs and flow downstream. They think of it as a curved river channel that extends to the end of the searchlight. Further away, it is a deep darkness, and you can't see anything at all.

The air is not sticky, but has a sweet smell.

Air, moisture, and temperature are the three major elements of life. If these three necessary conditions are met, life forms may be born. I did not take it lightly because of the temporary calm in front of me, took off the searchlight, kept scanning along the river, and paid attention to possible situations at any time.

The third person who was hung down was Chen Yun. After she fell into the water, she refused my support and was quickly observing the environment like me and Ge Zhuang.

Seeing that half of the people in the team had entered the cracks, I stopped waiting and walked towards the shallows around the river. There was brown and yellow sand under my feet, and it made a "whirring" sound when I walked. I tried to slow down my steps. I passed through the clear river water and could see large areas of small fish playing around me. Through the diving suit, I could feel them pecking on my clothes, making my body itchy.

The waterway here is not spacious. I walked for about a minute and approached the shallows. After leaving the underground river, what appeared in front of me was a shallows paved with gravel. These stones were crystal clear and colorful, a bit like rain flower stones. They can reflect light under the light of the searchlight, and the colors are psychedelic.

I walked to the river beach and sat down to rest. I felt that something was slamming my butt. I quickly got up, turned the searchlight toward my head, leaned over my head, digged a shallow pit on the sand, and actually threw out a whole white stone tablet for me, which was one meter square and was embedded under the stone. I don’t know how deep it was. The symbolic marks of seal carvings could be seen on the surface of the stone, which should belong to the text of Gu Yelang.

I don’t understand the ancient Yelang culture, so I naturally can’t understand what the text says. Fortunately, Xiaozhang in the team has researched this, so I guarded the stone tablet and waited for Xiaozhang to come and explain it in detail.

In addition to these symbolic patterns on the stone tablet, there is also a round groove, which should have been specially created to inlay something, but there is no more things in the groove. I searched around this shallow, but I found nothing.
