Dragon's Origin

As Elder Lingxu said, you really can't see anything looking at it this way. Besides a dark hole, there's nothing else. At most, you can see a little bit of the edge of the opening with the help of the bright giant candles, but inside it's absolutely just a dark abyss.

Not to mention this dozens of meters deep cave, which has no light around it. When Wang Sheng was training on Earth, a wooden box with the inner wall completely painted white, very shallow, with a small hole the size of a ping-pong ball on it, would appear completely dark when looking into it from the outside. That's because the light diffuses inside and can't escape, so you can't see anything.

That was just a shallow wooden box. This cave is at least seventy meters deep, so it would be strange to be able to see anything.

"There's water below, it should be a tributary of the river," It wasn't just Wang Sheng who heard the sound of water, the old Taoist also heard it and said quickly.

"Not necessarily," Wang Sheng shook his head: "It may not be a tributary of that river. This place is still a certain distance away from the river, but there must be some connection."

"Does that river have a tributary?" The Grand Master couldn't help but ask, listening to the conversation between Wang Sheng and the old Taoist.

The Grand Master knew that Wang Sheng and the old Taoist went to survey the terrain. The Grand Master also knew that there was a big river on the other side of the mountain, but he didn't know that the river had a tributary.

"It's a branch in the riverbed, it should be considered an underground river," Elder Lingxu responded, but he didn't explain how they knew there was an underground river in the riverbed.

Elder Lingxu had seen many things Wang Sheng had, but he knew that he couldn't just tell outsiders. How to get into the water, how to walk freely underwater, he couldn't say.

The Grand Master didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He knew very well that with Elder Lingxu's cultivation, not to mention the big river on the other side of the mountain that wasn't even a rapid, even if it was a deeper and faster river, Elder Lingxu could easily come and go.

"What do we do now?" The straightforward Sect Leader asked again. Another gate to the land of inheritance has been opened, what should we do next?

"Now that the gate is open, of course we'll go down and take a look," Wang Sheng smiled and replied, looking at the black hole, he reminded: "Prepare the rope!"

Such a deep hole, of course you need to prepare a rope. Wang Sheng didn't think about jumping down headfirst. Who knows how deep the water below is?

The old Taoists were very efficient, and in no time, they had set up a winch on the well platform. The rope was long enough, and as long as people grabbed the rope, the Taoists above could shake the winch and easily lower people down.

"I'll go down first!" Elder Lingxu sighed and volunteered to take the lead.

This is the territory of the capital, and there are no powerful monsters around. However, nothing is absolute, so let Elder Lingxu, the one with the strongest cultivation, go down first. If there is any danger, the old Taoist can protect himself.

"Let's go together!" Wang Sheng and the old Taoist cooperated tacitly and took the initiative to partner with the old Taoist.

The others had no objection, everyone watched Wang Sheng and the old Taoist each take a torch, and then stand on the wooden board tied under the rope, grabbing the rope with one hand, and let the others slowly send them down.

Watching the light of the torches in their hands getting lower and lower, and the rope being lowered more than twenty zhang, when the torches were only the size of beans in everyone's eyes, a signal finally came from below, stop.

Wang Sheng still miscalculated, the water below is very deep, even if you jump directly from above, you will not reach the bottom. However, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist stood on the wooden board below the rope, less than three inches away from the water surface, and the torches illuminated all directions, but they did not find anything else.

It seems that it is impossible to find any clues without entering the water.

The old Taoist easily made two holes in the well wall and inserted the torches they were holding into them, then turned to look at Wang Sheng.

"Same as usual?" The old Taoist asked calmly.

The water is very deep, but it's dark and you can't see anything clearly. If you want to know what's below, you may have to go down. However, it shouldn't be too dangerous, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist didn't notice any fierce monster aura.

As for whether there will be powerful traps or anything, Wang Sheng is not worried at all when he is in the water. Even if it is a heavy sniper crossbow as powerful as Wang Sheng's, how powerful can it be in the water? At most a range of a dozen meters, and the power will be greatly reduced. With strong protective clothing, there is no need to worry about anything.

"Let's go!" Wang Sheng and the old Taoist put on their goggles and hard masks, Wang Sheng even tied the individual combat terminal to his cuff, and then greeted the old Taoist, and the two stepped forward together and entered the water.

Entering the water, Wang Sheng turned on the flashlight on the individual combat terminal, and a beam of light penetrated the bottom of the water, illuminating most of the water area brightly. This is a military terminal, and waterproofing is the most basic requirement.

The old Taoist didn't seem surprised that Wang Sheng could even come up with something that could fly, and he wasn't surprised at all that the thing in his hand could glow. He just looked at the bottom of the water around the light.

Under the water, the most conspicuous thing is a large pile of gravel. Needless to say, this is the gravel that fell after the statue of the Supreme Lord Lao shattered, along with the seventy-meter-deep well wall.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist discovered when they were descending that the entire seventy-meter, twenty-odd-zhang well wall was originally one piece. Unless the entire well wall is shattered using a formation using the principle of resonance, it would probably take chiseling through this twenty-odd-zhang of stone.

Under normal circumstances, chiseling one or two zhang, three or four zhang, or even five or six zhang, can be considered patient, but beyond ten zhang, no one will believe that there is a passage below. The land of inheritance is well protected in this regard, and it is impossible to easily open the passage without understanding the key.

The underwater thruster began to search little by little along the edge with the two of them. The water is very clear and you can see very far, far from the low visibility of the river water outside. Moreover, the water is still water, this is an underground lake, not a river channel. But the water is not the kind of stagnant dead water, it should have a source and an outlet, but the flow rate is very slow.

The underground lake is very large, with a radius of two or three miles. Except for the part where the passage comes down where you can see the water surface, most of it is under the stone mountain. If you want to get air, you can only return to the area near the passage that is less than ten zhang in radius.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist can stay underwater for a long time and don't care at all. They searched little by little along the edge of the underground lake. After turning more than half a circle, Wang Sheng finally found a passage more than one person tall underwater, dark and unknown where it leads.

After pointing it to the old Taoist, Wang Sheng controlled the underwater thruster and took the two of them into the passage.

Less than ten zhang after entering, there is a little bit of light above. After drilling out of the water, I realized that it was just a natural small hole for ventilation, only two or three square meters in radius. Above is the stone wall and a narrow small hole that can only reveal a little bit of light, providing the two with fresh air.
