These few days, the cold fireworks penetrated the thick layer of fog, finally making the world around them much brighter.
In the darkness, the flashlight could be vaguely seen reflected on the water surface, and a lake pond like a reservoir appeared before everyone's eyes!
The entire lake was extremely quiet, with no wind or waves, and only the sound of waves coming from where the water was pouring in the distance.
However, the more the lake is without waves, the heavier the heart feels!
Because this kind of water is often very deep, once you slip and fall into the water, no one knows what will happen.
"What a big deal! Look, if I'm not mistaken, this should have been a reservoir to supply water to the city's residents. I can now confirm that the city did not reach its current height due to the subsidence of the earth's crust. It was not destroyed by a volcanic eruption, but by someone else. The city was built under the underground river and was originally at this height."
Old man Jiang Hai made his own judgment. Everyone looked at the stone pillars in the distance that looked like a dam, but were actually extending from the mountain to form a separate underground and basin outlet. Their expressions changed.
Just as Jiang Hai said, this city was not originally built on the ground, but was built underground from the beginning.
The person who built the city was also an expert. After all, the changes in the underground river basin are very diverse. However, after who knows how many years since the city was built, the reservoir is still full of water, which is enough to prove that the underground river has never dried up. As long as the reservoir exists, all residents in the city can enjoy this convenience. It is really a miracle that such a huge building could be built in that era.
"Mr. Jiang Hai, look up quickly, there seems to be a bridge on the lake!"
The Taoist Zi Jin, who was walking in the front, stopped, with a little surprise on his face, and turned to shout to everyone.
"That shouldn't be the case... A place like this is a forbidden place for living people! Why build a bridge?"
Old Master Jiang Hai had a puzzled look on his face. After looking at Zhang Fan, he came to the position of Taoist Zi Jin.
At this moment, everyone's flashlights penetrated the fog, and they saw that there was indeed a suspended floating bridge on the lake, passing through the center of the lake and leading to the other side.
Although it was foggy and difficult to see what was at the end of the bridge, one could vaguely see the outline of a huge building, which was very similar to the ancestral hall building that everyone had seen before.
"This is the Palace of Eternal Life! Wade through the water and reach the sky. It turns out that this lake represents the Celestial River. All the secrets of this city must be placed here!"
Jiang Hai suddenly became excited, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
After passing the Tianhe River, you will reach the Palace of Eternal Life, where all the secrets of this city must be kept! When they get here, everyone can finally see the final answer.
"The Qiong Snake's dojo is most likely here! Everyone, it looks like we are finally going to find the truth."
Mr. Jiang Hai was getting more and more excited, his fists clenched tightly, the final success was about to tick! He couldn't hide his excitement.
"Then I'll go explore the way!"
Taoist Zi Jin stepped onto the bridge without saying a word.
This floating bridge was actually also carved out of stone, but there was a loose chain linking it in the middle, which was exactly the same as the silver chain that everyone had seen by the bridge when they passed the Yin Yang Lake before. This chain was tougher than expected, and time could not leave any traces on it.
So it can be ensured that the bridge is very stable, at least there will be no problems with the stone bridge surface where everyone's feet rest.
"It's safe here! These bridges have not been damaged! If we move quickly, we can rush over quickly!"
Taoist Zi Jin gave an answer based on his own experience!
Old man Jiang Hai stepped forward immediately and said, "Then don't just stand there. Everyone, hurry up. Don't forget that an accident happened here before. Don't look back until something happens. Just rush forward first."
After he shouted, he had already crossed the place where the chains were connected and sprinted forward at a rapid speed.
Zhang Fan followed closely behind, and Taoist Zi Jin brought Nangong Manyun and Brother Chongzi with him, and did not dare to delay at all.
However, as he ran, Zhang Fan's brows furrowed more and more.
The feeling of being watched became more and more serious.
And the direction from which that prying gaze came was under the water at the edge of the stone bridge.
It was as if there was something underwater, closely watching their actions, waiting for them to come to it.
Even Taoist Zi Jin felt it, and he shouted loudly!
"Master, be very careful! My dagger has become very hot. Apparently there is something fishy going on here!"
The ghost that Zi Jin Taoist mentioned does not mean that this place is weird!
But there really is a ghost!
The Taotie Fangs were the two front teeth of the fierce beast Taotie. They were extremely sharp. Once in the hands of a righteous master, the fierceness on them was forcibly weakened! It became a magical weapon with a particularly righteous aura.
Therefore, when encountering ghosts or monsters, it will immediately become hot to remind the owner not to take it lightly!
Therefore, the reminder from Taoist Zi Jin made Jiang Hai in front of him change his expression suddenly.
He was more alert and was shouting out hellos.
"No matter what's under the water, we can't take a step back now! Go faster."
Zhang Fan and Taoist Zi Jin did not answer. They both increased their speed to the limit and ran swiftly across the stone bridge.
However, just as everyone passed the middle of the stone bridge and passed the center line of the lake, old man Jiang Hai, who was walking in front, heard a slight sound of water breaking.
He subconsciously tilted his head, and then an indescribable cold feeling instantly swept over him.
His body stiffened, and the hair on his body stood up! This strong sense of crisis and the oppression of death made Mr. Jiang Hai roar suddenly! He turned around and chopped the knife in his hand to the right!
With a swish sound!
A cold light flashed, and then there was a ding sound. Jiang Hai could see clearly that on the railing on his right, there was a black venomous snake with its tail wrapped around the railing and its head raised high to hold the blade. It was staring at his face with a pair of upright red pupils.
"This is the Ghost Leader! Jiang Hai, retreat quickly!"
Taoist Zi Jin roared, and the Taotie Fang in his hand shot out!
The blade flashed with cold light, tearing a meteor-like light in the air, and covered the snake with a snap! In an instant, it split into two and fell back into the water with a plop.
Jiang Hai subconsciously lowered his head to look at the water surface, and saw that the place where the snake fell was dyed with black and red light, and the blood shadows were like ink, spreading on the water surface! And then, he saw a pair of blank and lifeless eyes under the water, staring at him intently! ?
