Chapter 106 Progress
At the same time, she could sense the others sizing her up, as if assessing her abilities. These three were roughly Luo Qing's age, around eighteen or nineteen. The girl had a gentle appearance, a round face, almond-shaped eyes, and a rather kind expression. The other two were: one chubby, about 1.7 meters tall, and the other thin, with an ordinary, unremarkable face.
"These are my three teammates, Tan Fei, Li Liang, and Zhao Xue."
Luo Qing introduced her and said to the others, "This is Yu Mu."
"Hello, I've heard a lot about you."
Yu Mu didn't expect that although some of them seemed to have a gap with her, they were all very polite. After the introduction, everyone quickly entered the canyon, discussing things and Yu Mu's speculations as they walked.
"I hope your guess is true."
Li Liang smiled.
Yu Mu nodded without saying anything, and soon they entered the cave. The fluorescence here was even stronger. Ordinary people or psychics below level three would have their bodies directly corroded by the fluorescence if they entered here. However, now that several of them were psychics above level four, their own energy shields could isolate them from the erosion of fluorescence.
The deeper you go, the stronger the fluorescence becomes.
When they entered the cave, they found a lot of dry bones. These bones were piled up like a hill and would dissipate like the wind with the slightest touch, as if they had been there for thousands of years.
I remember that these dry bones were not there when I came here last time.
It's only been a few days, even if a wild animal died here, it wouldn't suddenly turn into dry bones!
Yu Mu felt more and more that something was wrong. At the same time, the fat boy named Tan Fei picked up a piece of dry bone and stopped with a heavy face. He said, "Wait a moment. I suggest everyone stop and listen to me."
"Oh, what?"
Zhao Xue asked.
The others also stopped with serious expressions, obviously everyone noticed something was wrong.
"Seeing this scene, I'm reminded of the famous Wunan Wound five hundred years ago. The description in history books is exactly the same as it is now. Do you remember? Overnight, a large number of dried bones of marine creatures appeared by the water. They fell apart when people touched them, just like the rotten bones from the previous year..."
Tan Fei recounted the description in the book.
"Yes! I was just about to say that."
Li Liang nodded in agreement, "These coincidences are too similar, but perhaps no one has ever come to this cave, and these bones are really thousands or even hundreds of years old?"
After saying that, he looked at Yu Mu. Yu Mu had just said that she had been here before, so she must be very familiar with this place.
"No, there weren't these bones here before."
Yu Mu explained.
Hearing this, their expressions became even more gloomy.
"There's definitely a problem. I'll record the video and send it to my superiors. Everyone, please proceed forward and be careful."
Zhao Xue flew up as she spoke, with a miniature camera tied to her forehead, which could clearly capture the scene here and upload it to the Internet for storage in real time to prevent the data from being lost if the camera disappeared.
Everyone started to take action again.
But this time the speed is much slower than before.
Yu Mu quietly asked Luo Qing: "What happened to Wu Nan's injury?"
Luo Qing explained simply, "Wunan is a coastal city. Five hundred years ago, the seawater was still safe to use. But one day, a large amount of pollutants suddenly appeared in the sea. Suddenly, fish, shrimp, and seawater became inedible. People actively tried to clean up the pollution, but to no avail. The water quality deteriorated further and further, until one night, the entire sea turned black, and humans could no longer touch it."
"Did people figure out what happened later?" Yu Mu asked curiously.
"No, there are many reasons, and there are many different theories. Since then, the pollution has become even worse. Some people speculate that a country may be secretly releasing toxins into the sea. However, this toxin has never been seen before, and since we have no evidence, there is no way to investigate!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Yu Mu sighed: "If that's the case, the Earth hasn't been polluted for that long!"
Yu Mu nodded, and saw Zhao Xue approach her while recording the video and asked her with a smile: "I see that you are not very old but already at the fourth level. Your ability level is very high. I haven't seen you before, so aren't you from our Jinshan College?"
"No, I didn't go to school."
"Wow, you're actually self-taught? That's amazing!"
Zhao Xue sighed.
"You are so talented, why don't you go to school?"
Li Liang asked curiously.
Yu Mu replied helplessly: "Because my talent is not up to standard..."
"Impossible!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xue exclaimed and looked at her in surprise. At the same time, Tan Fei and Li Liang also showed amazed expressions.
It is true that Yu Mu is not very old and his talent is not high, but he is already at the fourth level, which is similar to them. However, they are the best in Jinshan College and are outstanding. Otherwise, the college would not let them out to do tasks. But there are still many unlucky people in the college who cannot graduate. It is really amazing that Yu Mu has made rapid progress even though his talent is not as good as theirs.
Yu Mu looked at them with amusement, thinking to himself, was the "I've admired you for a long time" he said to her just when they met just a polite remark?
She actually thought that Luo Qing had introduced himself to them before and let them know something about himself!
As they were talking, suddenly a red light flashed in the cave ahead. The red light mixed with the heat wave brought a gust of wind, which made the hair and clothes of several people flutter. The hot wind contained a bloody smell. Yu Mu shuddered at the mere smell of it. She couldn't help but quicken her pace. She didn't know why she had a very bad feeling, as if it would be too late if she went too late.
Run, run, run.
Yu Mu rushed inside at the fastest speed, leaving the remaining four people a little confused. The other three were still hesitant about what was going on. Luo Qing shouted in a low voice, "Something happened. Follow us as fast as you can."
As he said that, he sped up and followed Yu Mu.
"Well, let's go. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen inside!"
Tan Fei muttered something and the three of them ran to catch up. They were all high-level psychics with a strong sense of danger. The dangerous aura coming from inside made everyone tremble in their hearts, but at the same time they had to bite the bullet and go forward.
"boom……"
As soon as Yu Mu arrived, he saw the underground river rolling and roaring like an angry dragon, with wave after wave hitting the gravel on the river bank. But the strange thing was that the waves could not splash onto the river bank. There were more than a dozen people standing in the corner of the river bank. They were emitting fluorescent light all over their bodies, facing the river, and were detained. Among these people, Yu Mu saw Taina. She was dressed in black and wearing a crown. She stood out among the group of embarrassed people. At this time, she was whipping the first person with a long whip.
The man was beaten by her so hard that a lot of fluorescent liquid came out and flowed all over the ground, flowing into the river along the groove by the river.
What's that fluorescent color? Why does the river churn even more violently after the injection, as if in pain?
