Chapter 147: Exploring the Cave and Meeting the Netherworld River Again (2)

The torch swept left and right. A silver dragon-like waterfall above poured down and landed in the middle of the pool. The roar was deafening.

However, the water surface of the pool did not increase at all. It seemed that there was a deeper channel under it. All the water gathered here and was silently devoured by it.

A hint of shock appeared in his eyes. Who would have thought that there would be a silver waterfall that flew down 3,000 feet in such a deep underground world?

Suddenly.

Lin Yan frowned.

He slowly approached the pool and carefully shone the torch on it.

In the depths of the dark water, there was actually a huge black shadow lying quietly!

It looked like some kind of fish, but it was about the size of two adults. It lay quietly in the deep water and did not move.

Lin Yan held his breath and picked up a stone from the ground. He exerted strength in his wrist and threw it into the water!

BANG!

A dull sound was heard.

The water immediately became chaotic, as if a creature was rolling and moving under it.

When the water surface calmed down again, Lin Yan took out his torch to take a look. The black shadow had already disappeared!

Only the dark and deep water layer was left.

“It’s really alive! There’s actually such a huge fish in this underground pool?”

This pool clearly could not support such a huge fish. It seemed that this pool led to a larger and deeper river.

Oh? What is this?

On the water surface, a black shadow the size of half a palm floated up. It was floating on the water and spinning along with the water.

Lin Yan lowered the torch and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was another fish!

No, half of it. It looked very fierce, like a carnivorous species. However, its entire body seemed to have been soaked in acid. Most of it had been corroded, leaving only half of its body.

These teeth look very strange…”

Its teeth protruded. There were two on each side of its upper and lower jaw, but they were all curved hooks. The tips were stuck together, but the center could not be closed. It was like a ring. If a person’s finger was placed in it, it could not bite it no matter how hard it bit.

Suddenly!

Lin Yan’s wrist tightened slightly. This strange fish’s eyes moved!

Its only ferocious fish eye seemed to have sensed the fire and actually stared at it!

“You’re still alive?

The strange fish suddenly opened its upper and lower jaws at a strange angle of 180 degrees. It swung its tail with all its might and crazily opened and closed its jaws, swimming towards Lin Yan’s fire!

“This vitality is too tenacious! With this ferocious temperament, it is definitely a piranha!”

The strange fish’s body was originally incomplete. With a huge movement, liquid and internal organs could be seen seeping out of its body with the naked eye. However, it actually relied on its incomplete body to swim to the edge of the pool and…

It flopped between the jagged cobblestones and was on the verge of death. It did not move and killed itself.

Lin Yan shone the torch over, and its eyes darkened. It was really dead this time.

However, the strange thing was that its blood was actually green, similar to the Corpse Buddha Cockroach’s green pus.

“Are the creatures in the underground water also so strange…”

With a stomp, his strength erupted, directly crushing the corpse of the strange fish. Only then did Lin Yan turn around and continue exploring.

The color of the rock wall behind the pool was clearly different. Black and yellow interwove like spiderwebs. It was a rock formation that could only be seen in extremely deep layers.

“There are actually oil lamps nailed to the rock wall. There’s only a little rust on the oil lamp, and the oil inside hasn’t completely evaporated. This means that it hasn’t been long. It seems that someone has already been here before me.”

Lin Yan raised his torch and lit up the oil lamps on the rock walls along the way. The entire dark tunnel immediately became much brighter.

“I didn’t see it just now. There are actually footprints and drag marks in the mud on the ground. It looks a little blurry. This means that someone was working here before and dragging something.”

Lin Yan continued to walk along the tunnel, but after walking around, he realized that it was a blind path and a dead end.

“That’s impossible. There can’t be no tool rope left behind after all the dragging, right?”

Lin Yan turned around and searched carefully inch by inch along the way.

“Here!

In a corner near the center of the blind alley, a pile of huge black and yellow rocks was piled up on the ground.

“These rocks are not natural. They were piled up later.”

If not for Lin Yan’s careful observation, he would not have realized that there was a hole under the pile of boulders.

The mountain rocks were huge. Lin Yan moved a few small ones around, but the huge one in the middle was terrifyingly heavy. It was probably dozens of tons. Even he couldn’t move it.

Helpless, he circulated his strength and grabbed the stone with both hands like he was grabbing dough.

He could naturally shatter it with a punch, but in this way, the shattered pieces might fall into the cave below and block the entrance.

The fire flickered, illuminating the shadow of him digging stones hard.

Soon, there were many rocks scattered around him. This huge rock was only left with a thin layer of about a thousand kilograms. He raised his hands and flipped it to the side.

Hmm? This is…

Lin Yan’s gaze froze. The lower part of the stone was actually covered in bloody scratches that crisscrossed. He could even see the human nails embedded in the stone. It was enough to show its owner’s despair!

“Was anyone trapped down there?”

Looking down, there was actually a vertical abyss crack below the cave. The entrance was only the size of a person, and the crack below was extremely narrow and bottomless.

Lin Yan was secretly vigilant as he climbed down the rock wall along the entrance of the abyss crack.

The crack was extremely narrow, only enough for one person to climb down. His chest and back were pressed against the rock wall, which saved him some effort.

There were many iron nails nailed to the rock wall and many ropes hanging there. It was obvious that someone had climbed up.

He thought of the scratches just now. Was there really someone below?

Compared to the top, the rock wall here was clearly much rougher. Moreover, the cracks were obvious. The time it had cracked was definitely not more than half a year.

After descending another 30 to 40 meters, the surrounding space suddenly widened.

Moreover, a thin layer of blue light appeared from somewhere, coating the surrounding rock layers with a mysterious light.

“This is… the light of the Netherworld River!”

However, with the depth of his descent now, he had long exceeded the depth of the underground black market in Ding’an City. In other words, the height of the Netherworld River should be at least two to three hundred meters above him!

Why was it here?

Lin Yan grabbed the rock wall and quickly climbed down.

The surrounding space became larger and larger, like an inverted funnel. The lower he went, the wider the space became.

Finally, the rock wall in front and behind suddenly opened up. Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. A dark blue and mysterious underground river emitted a dense dark light as it flowed through the underground cavity below!

This cavity was huge. It was surrounded by greenish-gray rock walls that were craggy and twisted. There was also a huge empty space by the river, filled with huge craggy rocks.

Stepping on the stones, Lin Yan slowed down his breathing slightly. It was really the Netherworld River!

What secrets were hidden in the underground space of this world?

What was going on with the Netherworld River?

It appeared and disappeared like ghosts. It actually appeared at different heights?!

With enough light, Lin Yan’s vision became wider.

He walked to a flat empty space by the Netherworld River. The stones here had been moved away to form an empty area. In the middle, there were several tents, pots, pans, and other traces of humans.

On the left side of the camp, there were a few baskets neatly placed. There were some grayish-black stone materials inside. Lin Yan walked over and picked them up to take a look. They were just ordinary fragments and nothing special.

However, there was no one around.

Lin Yan originally thought that someone was trapped under this crack and wanted to push away the boulders blocking the passageway, but they couldn’t get out, so they left behind crisscrossing blood marks.

Many miserable scenes of a group of people trapped in the dark underground without food appeared in his mind. In the end, they could only compete with each other and feed on each other…

However, when he checked his surroundings, everything was very intact. There were no signs of fighting, struggle, or blood.

Everything was peaceful, except that there was no one around.

Did these people go somewhere else?

Lin Yan turned around and looked at the other end of the river. It was like a horizontal tunnel that led to an unknown place.

However, if there was another way out, why would there be such despairing scratches beneath the huge rock?

Lin Yan couldn’t figure it out for a moment. He raised his torch and walked up the river..
