Fairy Ocean Fireworks

"Tick, tick..."

Because the team members are all veterans of outdoor activities, the speed and rhythm of the team's progress are well controlled, and they have been exploring the depths of the cave unhurriedly.

In front of the team, the Moru moth silently flapped its wings to explore the way forward, always keeping a distance of five or six meters from the team.

In the river, Junzi and Squirtle's swimming movements are very small, and they basically rely on the current to move.

The only sounds in the entire space were the slight footsteps of the team members and the sound of water drops dripping from the many stalactites on the roof of the cave.

"Whoa!"

A horned goldfish suddenly jumped out of the water and swam quickly out of the cave from the river section in front of the team. Seeing that it made no other movements, Junzi watched it swim away.

The team moved on.

"Big-mouthed bat."

Xinyi noticed the sudden change in the owl's movements. It flew behind a forest of stone pillars. Several large-mouthed bats were startled, and then the owl's eyes immediately released hypnotic light waves.

Under the influence of this mild hypnosis, these big-mouthed bats flew out of the cave in a daze.

"Goooo."

The owl flew back and chirped at Chengxia and Xinyi.

"The owl must have detected the detection sound wave of the big-mouthed bat just now." Cheng Xia explained to everyone.

"Well, let's move on."

Lisa waved her hand and motioned for everyone to continue walking.

Ten minutes later, a group of people came to a fork in the road, and two dark, several-meter-square cave entrances appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, the cave was no longer as spacious as it was at the beginning. It became narrower and narrower, and the river turned into a small ditch.

"Sister Sha, which way should we go first?" A tall team member walked up to Lisa and asked.

"Both sides will lead to a main cave. The one on the left is only connected to a small branch. Huohe said that we would let them explore it in the afternoon. We can just go to the right. This side is connected to more than five branch caves."

Lisa spoke in more detail, mainly because there were many new members in the team today as well as Shinyi and the other five.

So, the team entered the cave entrance on the right, and Morucho was still the first to explore the way.

After passing through a narrow cave passage that was tens of meters long, everyone entered a large cave hall. Xinyi used a searchlight to shine above and found that the top was more than 20 meters above the ground, with a large number of stalactites hanging downward.

"Well, what a big pool."

Xinyi turned his head and whispered to Cheng Xia beside him. His hands and lights pointed forward, and a pool with a water surface of nearly 30 meters wide appeared in front of everyone.

This pool is definitely not big outside, but it is rare in cave environments.

"thump."

At Xinyi's signal, Junzi, who had already been walking ashore because the current had become smaller, jumped into the pool, while Squirtle stood by the water and prepared to help.

A few seconds later, Junzi emerged from the water and waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem.

"It seems that there are no other water elves coming from the underground river." Lisa said something to herself.

On the way up the mountain, she told the team members that infrared cameras were installed in the caves that had been explored. However, due to the complex cave environment, they could not cover all areas, but there was no monitoring in the water.

This is because the water flow in the cave water system changes frequently, and the common hornfish and king carp among them have the habit of destroying unusual objects in the territory. If you spend a lot of money to install a camera with good performance and a firm fixation, it may break the next day. .

The monitoring device is for one-time use, and their company is not that generous.

"Continue to go."

The team bypassed the pool and followed a small river flowing out of the pool to explore the depths of the cave. Junzai and Squirtle were once again guarding them in the water.

"There is less inflow and more outflow. How strange is this pool?"

"This pool should be replenished by other underground water flows, so the water volume has not dropped." Xinyi and Chengxia chatted softly for a few words, and soon fell silent again.

The floor of the cave hall was relatively flat and easy to walk on. One minute later, everyone arrived at the end of the cave hall. The river flowed deeper into the mountain along a small hole, and the river water filled most of the small hole.

"In the future, we can install a metal door here and send two powerful elves to guard it. It's best to have one each of water type and grass type."

A man wearing glasses said to Lisa that Xinyi seemed to have heard others calling him Wang Gong on the road outside, and he should be an engineer.

"Everyone just take a rest and prepare all the equipment you need. We will go to that cave later. This is probably the largest branch of the cave system in this exploration."

Lisa shined the searchlight more than ten meters away, and a hole appeared that she had not noticed just now. Everyone took out water and dry food, sat on the surrounding stones or the ground and began to rest and replenish their strength.

"Everyone, come over and have some snacks."

Cheng Xia took out the elf snacks she had prepared yesterday and called the four elves to come over to eat. After the nearest big-mouthed kid grabbed his share with his big mouth, he picked up another one and greeted the ones flying down. Owl.

"Cool." (Brother, come and eat.)

"Goooo~" (Thank you, sister~)

The owl happily ate a piece of candy cake fed by the big-mouthed baby.

Junzai and Squirtle also climbed out of the water, took two snacks from Chengxia, and sat on the ground together, enjoying the delicious food.

After resting for about 15 minutes, the team set off again. The exploration team members had prepared various equipment. During this period, Gu Gu released a rice spoon snake, hoping that it would take over from the previously released Heiluga.

But she was quickly stopped by Lisa, because the Radha clan is very sensitive to the smell of snake elves like rice spoon snakes.

After they feel the scent of the rice spoon snake, they are likely to hide their traces, which will affect the detection effect to a certain extent.

"Let's go, everyone."

Everyone entered the cave one after another.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Xinyi clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in the team, which was a little weird.

His perception, which has become sharper since he started practicing superpowers, told him that the source was the team members who had participated in the exploration of this cave system earlier, including Lisa.

……

It has been an hour. After entering the branch cave, the team often encountered some difficult places to pass through, but most of them passed safely with the help of the telekinesis of the owl and the Moru Moth.

Only some places that are really impassable will choose to give up the exploration, and continue to explore after marking the location on the continuously drawn map.

Every time the team walks through a section of the road, it will stop, and then a team member will put down the small metal box in his hand and start operating the machine.

This is a small ultrasonic detector. After the detected data is imported into a customized computer system, a three-dimensional map of the detection range will be automatically drawn.

"It's another place. There are quite a few Ladas here."

Ahu pointed to a rock at his feet and said. This rock was covered with gnawing marks of a kind of rodent, which was done by the Lada clan.

The teeth of the Lada tribe continue to grow throughout their lives, and they often use hard objects such as rocks and wood to grind their teeth.

Since the team entered the branch cave, they have discovered a large number of traces of the Lada clan's activities, most of which were bite marks and some feces.

The gopher clan only found a few small mounds they drilled out.

This is also a rather strange phenomenon. It stands to reason that in the underground environment, there should be more elves like gophers that are fully adapted to underground life than species like Lada that are widely adapted.

And along the way, no one discovered that the food that the Lada clan usually eats when they live on the ground can only be eaten by digging up plant roots like gophers. They are no match for gophers.

"It seems the situation is going to be complicated."

While waiting for the team member to use the detector to draw a map, Lisa walked to a corner alone, looked at the small hole in front of her, and whispered something in a voice that only she could hear, followed by a sigh.
