C35 (2/2)

Excited, he looked at the cave wall again. When he first thought that the cave passage was created by the corrosion of the water, he did not pay it any attention. When he looked around the cave wall, he realized that the lines of the cave wall were a little straight. Just like the traces of manmade work.

A doubt rose in his mind. Could it be that this passage was a secret passage constructed by the ancient cultivators? Since there were people passing by, then …

He faintly felt a sliver of hope to escape.

Carrying this excitement and suspicion, Lin Jin took out his flashlight and walked deeper into the cave.

After about 200 meters, the tunnel suddenly changed and slanted upwards.

Was it going to the ground? Lin Jin was immediately overjoyed as he quickened his pace.

After walking for a short distance, he noticed that a rough staircase appeared in front of him under the direct illumination of the lamp. His heart immediately calmed down as if he had eaten a tranquil pill. There was no doubt that this passage was built by the ancients. He just did not know why they would create such a passage in this kind of place.

Was it used to hide some treasure?

Fantasy is human nature! Although he was still in a hopeless situation, Lin Jin's heart immediately associated him with the most mysterious treasure described in the novels.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly thumped in his chest as his breathing became heavier. However, just as this excited him, the light from his flashlight suddenly dimmed.

Under extreme shock, Lin Jin immediately extinguished the flashlight, and stopped thinking about things. If he lost the light from the flashlight, even if he had too much hope, it wouldn't come true.

When his eyes adjusted to the darkness once again, he looked towards the end of the passage. However, he suddenly discovered that not far away, a white light had appeared!

Everyone knew what this meant! Overjoyed, Lin Jin could not care to save energy as he turned on the flashlight and stumbled towards the light.

Who knew how many times he had tripped over the stones on the ground. After some rolling and struggling, Lin Jin finally reached the end of the path.

That little bit of light was indeed the sky that he had long bid farewell to. When he saw the light of day again, the feeling of entering human society immediately swept away all the haze around him that he was swept up into this underground river.

However, the moment he stepped out of this passage, the scene in front of him caused him to feel incomparable shock and fear!

In front of him was a deep pool with a circumference of five to six hundred meters, surrounded by an irregular circular cliff.

On the side where Lin Jin came out of the cave, there was a small path that could only allow three people to walk side by side, encircling the deep pool for half a circle, but there was no exit.

Opposite him on the pond wall, there were dozens of black chains as thick as an arm hanging randomly into the water. It was unknown what they were used for.

Moreover, the other end of these chains had sunk deep into the holes on the walls, emitting a mysterious and solemn aura.

However, this was not the source of his shock. What shocked him the most was the gigantic claw prints that covered the walls of the pond in an awe-inspiring manner!

At first glance, there were at least several hundred paw prints, divided into five fingers, four long and one short. Each of the paw prints was over half a meter wide and two long. On the walls of the pool, two twenty-meter-long, semicircular marks were deeply imprinted, and inside those marks, a few scales could be vaguely seen.

What kind of monster could have such huge claws and such terrifying power?

Looking at the dark green pool water, Lin Jin felt a chill in his bones.
