Xia Chujian continued, "But after comparing the mineral compositions in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the stream, we discovered a strange phenomenon."
"There seems to be a sudden upwelling of groundwater in the middle reaches of that creek, causing the content of certain underground minerals in the middle reaches of the creek to be much higher than in the lower reaches."
"And upstream, there's no trace of this mineral at all."
"But there's nothing wrong with it from the surface of the creek."
Huo Yushen pondered deeply and said, "...When you were prospecting for mineral deposits, why did you choose that creek specifically for measurement?"
Xia Chujian thought to himself, an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.
Isn't that the point?
Xia Chujian said, "...it's about the conflict with Shan Jingsheng last time and the matter of tracking down those Lu Shus."
At that time, they had argued on the public channel and everyone knew what happened.
Xia Chujian added, "It's just that Shan Jingsheng didn't find the deer, and I couldn't find the herd either. I just followed their hoof prints and came to the creek..."
"It's like they disappeared out of thin air. Now that I think about it, it's very similar to the disappearance of our students."
Huo Yushen frowned and said, "Where is that stream? Do you remember?"
Xia Chujian said, "I have marked the coordinates on the mecha's radar."
Actually, it was Qilu who remembered it for her...
To round it off, that means the mecha's radar is for her to remember.
Huo Yushen looked at the sky outside the aircraft window.
The sun has set, the dusk is heavy, and dark clouds cover the bright moon in the night sky, so it is not a bright night sky.
Huo Yushen said, "Give me the coordinates. I'll go check it out by myself. It's already dark outside. Don't go out."
Xia Chujian was also worried about Huo Yushen going out alone, so she refused and said, "If you don't let me go, then no one else can go."
Huo Yushen said: "At night here, people without spiritual power cannot go out."
Xia Chujian said, "To be honest, I went out early in the evening on the small island of Dark Village where we used to camp, and I even killed a demon."
Huo Yushen: "..."
I should have known this girl wouldn't be so obedient.
If you ask her not to go out at night, she will just agree verbally, but she will go out when it is time.
Huo Yushen had a headache, but he finally compromised and said, "Then you have to stay by my side. You can't run out of my sight alone."
Xia Chujian nodded and said seriously, "Same to you."
"I think I have an advantage here. So bringing me along is definitely a big help, not a hindrance."
Huo Yushen also felt this way vaguely, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
He stopped talking, released the Great Sima's Flowing Golden Mecha, and entered stealth mode.
Xia Chujian gave a few instructions to the exploration robot Xiaofei, and then also entered stealth mode.
The two left the aircraft together.
Now, in her aircraft, there were only the seven teammates whose mental strength was severely damaged.
They are all still in a coma.
So they left quietly.
The two men drove the mecha and quickly landed on the bank of the stream.
Xia Chujian pointed to a spot in the stream and said, "It's right here. At that time, we thought that the groundwater was coming up from here."
Huo Yushen stretched out his mechanical arm, and the front end switched to a drill bit, digging along the coordinate position indicated by Xia Chujian.
After digging for an unknown distance, Huo Yushen suddenly said, "We've reached a void below."
Xia Chujian was surprised: "Is there really another world down there?"
Huo Yushen said, "I don't know. Let me send a micro drone to see."
As he spoke, Huo Yushen retracted the mechanical arm that had switched to a drill at the top, and placed a small dragonfly-sized drone down the groove he had dug.
The diameter of the groove is as big as an egg, but I don't know how deep it is.
After the drone took off, Huo Yushen shared the drone footage with Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian projected the video directly onto the eyepiece display screen of his helmet.
I saw that below the stream, after an unknown number of meters, the camera suddenly opened up.
It was a cave that was not sure whether it was formed naturally or dug out artificially.
It looks quite spacious.
The cave was gloomy and filled with balls of pale green gas.
Xia Chujian was very nervous and said, "Could it be that Getos's lair is right here?!"
Huo Yushen said: "No, this is not Getos's lair."
"The pale green mist below is just mist. There is no clone of Gertos hidden in it."
Xia Chujian said hesitantly, "...Does Gertos look like two eyes and a mouth in the mist, and the eyes and mouth are the clock face of a clock?"
Huo Yushen said, "Yes, that's exactly what happened. Did you see it all? Didn't you feel uncomfortable? Or was your mind greatly polluted?"
Xia Chujian said: "Yes, my eyes are extremely polluted, I am dirty."
Huo Yushen: "...Speak properly."
Xia Chujian said: "I'm telling the truth. It's so ugly. Not only disgusting, but also quite scary."
Huo Yushen glanced at her and thought, you don't look scary at all, but you are definitely disgusting.
The deep disgust in Xia Chujian's tone was almost bursting out.
Huo Yushen was silent for a while before he said, "You know, if it wasn't you who saw the image of Gertos, but anyone else, including me, we would have had a mental breakdown by now."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "...So powerful? Is it because it's so ugly that you can't stand it?"
