The little Taoist priest was now covered in wounds, and it took a lot of effort to get him here.
Especially since this kid not only injured his ribs, but also his legs.
Just less than ten meters away, I was already sweating profusely.
"This is the first time I realize why you are so heavy?"
After getting the little Taoist priest over, I collapsed on the ground and said angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense, take a rest, and hurry in to see what's going on. If we are both lucky enough, we might be able to go up there and have a barbecue tonight!"
Looking at the blue light shining in the distance, the little Taoist priest suddenly became energetic. Looking at his eagerness to try, I simply ignored the fact that he was lame.
After breathing for a while, I finally felt much better. I handed the bead to the little Taoist priest and carried it directly on his back.
Following the path I had walked before, I once again carried the little Taoist priest all the way to the side of the big river.
Looking at the vast underground river, the little Taoist priest was only excited for less than a minute before his face turned into a sad look.
If it's on land, I can barely cope with it if I carry him on my back, but if it's really in the river, swimming alone and swimming with someone are not the same thing!
Especially in places like underground rivers, where things may look calm on the surface, there are turbulent currents underneath the water.
Even one person may not be able to ensure that he reaches the other side safely, let alone two people. One of them is injured. At this time, having him next to me is a complete burden.
"How about I wait for you here while you go to the other side of the river to see what's going on?"
The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Stop talking nonsense, we are already here. If we go there together! There is water here so there will be no shortage of food. I think the two of us will rest here for a while! Anyway, the conditions may not be much better than here after we go out.
You might as well just recuperate here!"
After all, this guy is still a man of cultivation. As long as there is enough time, he can reconnect his broken bones.
Even if you can't fight with others, you should still be able to move around without any problem.
"Aren't you afraid of something else in this cave? Such a big underground river, and it's in such an inaccessible place..."
"Can you shut your fucking mouth!"
Before he finished speaking, I was so angry that I interrupted him.
I'm really afraid of this guy's crow's mouth. The two of us have reached this point now. If we let him say anything again, I'm afraid our lives will be decided here.
"Okay, let's take a good wash first. I'm so sticky and it's been really uncomfortable for me these past few days!"
Seeing me insisting so much, the little Taoist priest didn't continue to talk nonsense.
"That's right! You wait for me by the river for a while, and I'll go into the water to see if there's anything to eat!"
As I was talking, I took off my backpack and placed it next to the little Taoist priest. Then I held the golden coffin nail in my hand and went straight into the water.
With the sharpness of this thing, even if there is something in the water, I can still make a few holes in him.
After walking forward for about seven or eight meters, the river seemed to suddenly become deeper.
The water surface that was originally just around my waist suddenly reached my neck.
If I hadn't been prepared in advance, I would have choked on several mouthfuls of cold water.
But what makes me feel strange is that the closer I get to the center of the river, the hotter the water seems to get.
I didn't feel anything good when I was on the river bank, but once I actually got into the water, this feeling suddenly became clear.
Especially when we get to the deep water area, we can clearly feel that the position of our body and feet are different by five to six degrees in water temperature.
It's just that although I feel strange in my heart, I still have to fill my stomach first before talking about other things.
I originally thought that there should be no shortage of fish in such a river, but I don't know why. I swam back and forth in the river three or five times, but I couldn't see a single fish.
I'm really anxious now. Is there really something big in this river that has eaten up all the fish...
But if you think about it carefully, if there really was any big guy, he would probably have starved to death long ago!
After all, there have been more than two thousand years between the Great Qin and the present.
If that big guy had really eaten all the fish in the river, it would have starved to death long ago.
"Did you find anything?"
Seeing my head emerging from the water from a distance, the little Taoist priest rushed to me and shouted at me.
"I just took a shower and didn't look carefully. Please wait a moment!"
Although the little Taoist priest didn't say it, I knew in my heart that his physical strength was almost reaching its limit.
We two urgently need meat, we urgently need to make a fire and eat something hot.
I didn't believe in evil, so I took a deep breath and touched the bottom of the water again.
Looking at the direction of the water flow, I estimated that this river should be the same underground vein as the river where I caught white fish before.
Logically speaking, there are fish over there, but there can't be nothing here!
Moreover, both the water temperature and the quality of the water here are much better than there!
It makes no sense that those white fish can survive in such a harsh environment, but they won't be able to survive here.
As I dive deeper and deeper into the water, I feel that the temperature of the water below seems to be getting higher and higher.
Could it be that there is a natural hot spring nearby?
But there is no smell of sulfur either in the water or in the air. If it is a natural hot spring, how could there be no smell of sulfur?
I continued to dive down with some disbelief. After about six or seven meters, I already felt as if my hand had touched the river bed.
But until now, I still haven't found anything.
Not to mention a ten-pound white fish, not even a finger-long fry was seen.
There is really nothing in such a huge river. I really feel like I have seen a ghost.
Is it reasonable that such a big river doesn’t have a damn fish?
But no matter how depressed I am, when the time comes to take a breath, I have to float up and take a breath before talking.
Just when I was feeling confused, I suddenly felt that a stone under the water seemed to move!
