"Come quickly, there doesn't seem to be any danger here!"
As 629's voice faded, one by one, the crowd peered through the small hole.
Fortunately, when 629 was digging the tunnel, he took the height of the people into full consideration, so that they only needed to squat down to pass through.
"There's such a big river here?"
Zhao Yunting looked at the huge and wide river in front of him with surprise.
He never imagined that a river would exist in such a sealed underground world.
"This is an underground river."
"Judging from its appearance, it must have existed for a very, very long time!"
"Tongzi, go check if the water quality here is usable, and also check if there are any fish in it!"
Lin Xue arrived at the riverbank and looked at the dark river water. Because there was no light underground, their flashlights could barely illuminate the bottom of the river.
This also shows that the river must be very deep, and the bank where they could stand was not wide.
The riverbank is only about 1.2 to 1.3 meters wide, enough for a person to stay in.
Some parts are narrower, while others are wider.
The group found a relatively spacious spot and decided to rest there for a while.
629 has already reached the riverbank and begun testing the river.
"Apprentices, we've been working hard all day. It's safer now, so let's get something to eat!"
The two disciples were fine; having cultivated themselves, they didn't feel particularly hungry.
Lin Xue was already hungry shortly after entering the cave.
If she hadn't had a bad feeling while in the corridor, she probably would have stopped eating long ago.
Now that we've left the tunnel and entered the underground river, that unpleasant feeling has disappeared.
That's why I was in the mood to invite the two of them to cook.
"Finally, we can eat! I've been starving!"
Although Li Zichen didn't feel very hungry, he could tell that his master was really tired.
They quickly brought out a reclining chair for their master to rest, while he and his senior brother quickly took out pots and pans and started cooking.
He knew he had to consider his master's feelings, and as an apprentice, he was aware of that.
"Master, what would you like to eat?"
After Zhao Yunting finished tidying up the area, he turned to look at Lin Xue, who was watching them work.
Let's cook a pot of rice!
"The head steward has plenty of ingredients. Let's stew some ribs and then stir-fry some meat dishes!"
I've eaten barbecue outside several times before, and even the most delicious food loses some of its fun if you eat it too often.
All Lin Xue wanted to do right now was to enjoy a delicious meal with a steaming bowl of rice and some spicy stir-fried pork.
"Alright, today I'll personally cook two of my signature dishes for my master!"
Since arriving at the Yunhai Sect of Fangcun Mountain, Zhao Yunting has come to know many vegetables that he had never seen before.
For example, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, and potatoes—I had never even heard of these vegetables before.
It was only after he became Lin Xue's disciple that the head steward took him to the vegetable garden to identify the sect's crops one by one.
The variety of dishes far surpassed that of their city lord's mansion.
The chef wanted rice, so he braised some pork ribs and stir-fried some spicy pork.
I smashed two cucumbers, mixed them with garlic and chili peppers, drizzled them with soy sauce and vinegar, and finally added two drops of sesame oil.
The master likes cilantro, and although Zhao Yunting himself doesn't particularly like the taste, he still washed two sprigs and mixed them in.
After the food was ready, Li Zichen was already squatting nearby, his mouth watering.
The master and his disciples called back the fox chief steward, who was scouting by the river.
The three people and one spirit beast then began a lively and bustling food-grabbing game.
It wasn't that there wasn't enough food, but rather that everyone enjoyed the atmosphere.
Perhaps only in this way can the food taste exceptionally delicious.
After finishing the meal, tidy up all the things.
Lin Xue and her group set off again.
As reminded by 629, the lower reaches of this underground river lead to a huge waterfall.
The waterfall was extremely steep, making it difficult for anyone to leave. Even those with spiritual power would likely be swept away by the massive current to the bottom of the waterfall.
The upstream section is much gentler, and there is an exit about 400 to 500 meters away from here, which allows you to leave the underground river and return to the surface.
After some discussion, they decided to go directly upstream, since there were no rare treasures or ferocious beasts downstream of the underground river.
There's no need to waste any more energy investigating.
We walked all the way to the exit.
Zhao Yunting and Li Zichen were still hoping to find something good in the underground river, but they found nothing when they arrived at the exit.
They even picked up and examined the stones along the way, and it turned out that they were all ordinary stones, and there was no way they had misjudged them.
"Let's go outside!"
The group searched the underground river with great enthusiasm, but ultimately returned disappointed.
After crawling out of the hidden passage, you will find yourself in a vast forest.
The place they were in now was a particularly prominent rocky slope in the forest.
There are many huge rocks here, as well as many small pebbles of various shapes.
Normally, when cultivators pass by, they will at most glance at it.
No one would notice that there is actually a passage leading to an underground river hidden underneath.
The three people and the fox quickly left the place and entered the forest.
This time, unlike when they first arrived, they no longer encountered treasures wherever they went.
