Chapter 8 The Underground World

The few of us were completely stunned by the sight in front of us. No one thought that such a mysterious and strange place was hidden in the huge underground crack.

These things obviously cannot be formed naturally. Especially the huge copper chains that are intertwined with each other and the traces of artificial forging have shown us that the underground world we have entered may be far beyond our imagination.

We couldn't help but be curious about what would be inside this huge bronze coffin. We looked at each other. Except for Lang Qing, all three of us had the urge to climb up and have a look.

In that special era, all we thought about was serving the people and getting rid of all ghosts and ghosts, so we lacked a sense of awe for this unimaginable miracle.

But even so, we still have an instinctive fear towards this unimaginably huge bronze coffin, as if approaching it will bring some unimaginable consequences.

So although we are full of curiosity about the bronze coffin, deep down we have the idea of ​​staying away from it as much as possible.

Moreover, in our current situation, we really don't have the extra energy to find out. What we are most concerned about is actually how to get out. Otherwise, if we stay up for more than ten hours, we may collapse.

At the moment, the direction in which the bronze chain extends is the only road here, which saves us a lot of time to make a decision, so we all kept up our spirits and continued to march along the bronze chain.

By the time we got here, the width of the underground crack had exceeded our imagination. It was over fifty meters wide, completely beyond the limit of what a flashlight could illuminate.

If it weren't for this huge bronze chain as a guide, we would probably get lost in the darkness here and keep walking in a zigzag route.

After walking for another hour, the bronze chain still has no end in sight. Moreover, the traces of artificial repair here are more obvious, blending with the natural rocks, giving it a natural feeling.

Although the atmosphere here was mysterious and strange, there were always no dangers along the way. Our guard gradually relaxed, and various thoughts began to pop up in my mind uncontrollably.

We changed from above-ground prospectors to underground marchers just because we discovered the glacier female corpse. Is this just a coincidence?

And I still clearly remember how excited Wang Gong was when he saw the glacier female corpse, as if his long-cherished wish had come true, and it didn't look like an accidental discovery at all.

Our nominal geological exploration mission this time may not be as simple as imagined. Although countless thoughts are running through my mind, in the army, many things cannot be asked, and we can only obey unconditionally.

Looking at Lao Hei walking in front of me, I thought of Lao Hei's behavior in the ice crevasse. He didn't seem surprised at all. Thinking of this, I suddenly had the idea of ​​whether he knew something hidden below the surface.

.

Just when I was overwhelmed by all kinds of thoughts, there was suddenly a crashing sound in my ears.

This is obviously the sound of water flowing. Ever since we entered the ice crevice, we ate some compressed biscuits on the way, but no one dared to touch the pot of water. Now when we suddenly heard the sound of water, our hearts suddenly

There was a burst of ecstasy.

Apparently the other three people also felt the sound of water flow, and their hurried pace couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Soon the sound of trickling water turned into the roar of water hitting the rocks of the mountain.

Ten minutes later, an underground river twenty meters wide blocked our way.

This underground river runs through the stone wall and penetrates into the stone wall, like a black brocade, lying in front of us.

The bronze chain crossed the river and continued into the darkness on the other side.

The water flow here cannot be said to be very fast, and the loud sound is caused by the large height difference when the river water enters and exits the stone wall.

If we want to continue moving forward, we must swim across this river. But this river is too wide, and we have no way of knowing its depth. No one can guarantee whether there will be rapids under the gentle water surface.

I glanced at them, and the other three looked the same as me, obviously they didn't have any better ideas.

Lao Hei seemed to feel the pressure brought by the silence. After a long time, he finally spoke: "It's been a whole day. It's only right to drink some water first."

He is right, the most important thing for us to do now is to have a good drink.

Lang Qing, on the other hand, stopped the three of us before we were about to drink water: "I'll drink it first, and you can drink it when it's okay."

The three of us were stunned for a moment, but then we agreed with his statement. The situation here is unknown. Although it is running water, who can guarantee that there will be no problem. Langqing's approach is probably the wisest thing to do at the moment.

Lang Qing scooped up the water with his hands and drank it in large gulps, and a pleasant feeling soon appeared on his face. During our walk along the way, we only ate some compressed biscuits, which made our throat dry.

Now that I have water to drink, I am of course extremely happy.

After a while, I saw that Lang Qing was okay, so I said to Lao Hei: "Squad leader, I'll try too."

After saying that, he walked towards the river.

I glanced at Lang Qing halfway, and he raised his eyebrows at me. The provocation was very obvious: Boy, you can only be considered second.

I thought to myself, you are really a stick, how can you still be so competitive.

Lang Qing has experience and courage, and even his thoughts are more delicate than ordinary people, but there is one thing that is out of tune.

I was about to say something to retort, but under the dim flashlight light, I saw a long, thin, blood-red thing wrapped towards Lang Qing.

This incident occurred so quickly that I had no time to react. I only had time to shout two words: Lang Qing——

Before he could say the next words, the snake-like thing had already wrapped itself around his leg and circled it several times in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the thing had been tied tightly to Lang Qing's leg.

At this time, Lang Qing's attention was focused on my shouting, and he had no idea what was happening. It wasn't until he felt his legs tightening that he looked down in shock.

But the bright red thing didn't give him time to react. After it was tied tightly around his legs, it retracted like a spring.

Lang Qing didn't even have time to shout for help as he was knocked to the ground with a thud.

The bright red thing then shrank toward the water like an arrow, and Lang Qing was dragged into the water like a dog being dragged to death.
