C48 (1/2)

In the midst of the darkness, Zhu Yingqiong and I were dragged into the water by an unknown object, and Duan Hui was nowhere to be found. I struggled desperately in the water, and after a few mouthfuls of water, I could only feel a force grabbing onto my ankle, pulling me back with all my might.

I frantically started to kick backwards with my legs, but I couldn't kick anything at all. I could only turn around and dive into the water, wanting to see if it was a human or a Water Ghost dragging us. However, when I turned my head, I found that there seemed to be a faintly discernible green light under the water, wrapped around my ankles.

I was so angry that I didn't have a weapon in my hand and could only clench my fists and pounce on them. I saw that there were still a few figures huddled together under the green light.

Before I could think it through, I had already rushed to the location of the green light. Those figures were still motionless. I moved closer to them and stopped in my tracks. My face was filled with astonishment.

Those figures were actually all bones. They had died at the bottom of the water in a sinister manner and their postures were extremely strange, and there were also many firearms on the ground, which should have been the Sakyamuni Army from back then. Those green lights were the phosphorescence that radiated from their bones.

How could a human skeleton grab my feet?

I whirled around in the water and tried to stand up, but my ankle was still stuck in the water. I couldn't see anything, so I started to feel more and more anxious.

In the midst of my panic, I suddenly felt someone grabbing onto my back, followed by a strong burst of force. I was pulled upwards by someone, and with a splash, I charged out of the water, only to see Zhu Yingqiong gasping for breath and anxiously pulling at my clothes: ”Run!”

It turns out that she has already escaped underwater. Without saying a word, I start to run underwater.

Our flashlight and the mine light had already been extinguished, and we could see a lot of green light under the water, which should be the phosphorescence of the bones. It seemed that a lot of people had died at the bottom of this waterway, so we charged forward along the waterway and picked up our backpacks.

”There's a dark river ahead, we're at the exit!”

In the darkness, I saw a bunch of white light emitting from Zhu Yingqiong's wrist watch. It turned out to be the watch on her wrist, following the weak light, we had already arrived at the entrance of the waterway, right in front of us was a roaring dark river. The sound of the water rumbled, and we stopped by the dark river.

Feeling that there was no water under our feet and that we had stepped on solid gravel, we heaved a heavy sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground. The situation just now was too dangerous, I didn't even see what had pulled us into the water.

Breathing heavily, I took off my backpack and took out the items inside. By the faint light of my watch, I could see that a lot of things had been wet. Fortunately, we had put the important things into our waterproof bag in advance, so they weren't wet.

We turned on the flashlight again, and the light came out. The surroundings immediately became clear, and what appeared before us was a surging dark river. The sound of water roared, and it was over ten meters wide, flowing into the darkness.

On the other side of the dark river is an extremely spacious flat area. We saw many buildings, all of them extremely simple and crude, densely packed like a town, but many of the houses had already collapsed, and the most right side of the house was directly demolished. We saw more modern buildings, and it was even the Japanese's concrete and steel houses.

In my impression, the Underground City should be extremely splendid, having a castle and palace, just like the underground kingdom. However, what appeared in front of me was in pieces, just like a town, very different from what I imagined it to be.

The number of people living in this kind of place could at most be two or three thousand. Could it be that the so-called White Kingdom back then was actually a small tribe?

The White Kingdom back then was formed when Loong Liaan's veterans gathered together, there weren't many of them, and the reason why he was able to defeat the Tang Army several times was because he had the advantage in the terrain of the Wild Mountain.

How could they have the ability to build an underground kingdom? To put it bluntly, Underground City was like a tattered town moving underground.

We rested in place for a good while longer, discussing the so called Underground City with Zhu Yingqiong. I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and after looking around me for a while, I knew that something was wrong.

F * ck, Duan Hui is gone!

When Zhu Yingqiong and I met with danger in the cave, I remembered that Duan Hui was running towards the front. After that, the situation was so chaotic that we did not notice Duan Hui, and even after running out, we did not hear his voice.
