C34 (2/2)

This was because not far in front of him, there was a pitch-black cave that opened its mouth wide for him. He had never thought that this stream would actually lead to a river that led underground.

The unknown was always the thing that caused humans to feel the most fear.

In that instant, he only felt his vision turn black as he fell into a boundless darkness.

Entrance's water flow was always the most turbulent, and suddenly losing sight caused Lin Jin to suffer greatly in an instant. The rocks that were hidden in the darkness smashed him until he was confused.

Suddenly, Lin Jin activated all of the zhenqi in his body to protect himself and the pain in his body lessened. But the fear in his heart had not disappeared.

Completely darkness would always make one think of death, the countless collisions within the darkness caused his zhenqi to rapidly deplete.

Although after passing through the opening, the flow of water had slowed down by a lot and the degree of impact had decreased, this feeling of being powerless to control his own life was more painful to him than any other kind of damage.

If it were not for the three days of recovery, he reckoned that he would have become a corpse by now.

It was fortunate that the upper half of the underground river had not been completely submerged, allowing him to occasionally come out and take a breather. Otherwise, he probably would have suffocated to death just by holding his breath.

Sensing that the flow of the water had slowed down, in order to deal with the unpredictable danger ahead, Lin Jin carefully withdrew most of the protective qi and swam forward.

No matter what, he couldn't give up hope of survival! This was his belief!

He knew that in the future, he would definitely not be able to rush through the strong water flow. Only by going forward would he have a sliver of hope to survive – even though he did not know how much hope he had!

Time in the dark always felt slow.

Lin Jin didn't know how much longer he would have to stay in this darkness that made people feel despair. Every minute felt like a day, a month, or even longer.

But since he was not hungry, reason told him that he had not stayed more than five hours in this darkness.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he thought that such a day would never come to an end, the flow of water suddenly lessened, and he felt as if his feet came in contact with something hard.

”Could it be that the water flow has become lighter?” As he stepped onto the ground, Lin Jin's heart was suddenly filled with joy. As soon as he stood up, he realized that the water was only as deep as his waist.

”It has indeed become shallower!” Overjoyed, Lin Jin carefully took out the flashlight from his backpack.

Fortunately, thanks to the protection of those clothes, the flashlight had not been damaged in the previous collision. With a press of his hand, the entire underground space began to shine brightly.

He looked ahead. What was that black patch? Upon a closer look, it was actually a piece of land!

A wave of incomparable ecstasy immediately buried him. What could be more exciting than seeing a piece of land in a place full of water?
