Underground Cave

"There are still many monsters?"

Ling Tian was very surprised. The pool was so big, and the water was still very clear. If there were monsters, it could be seen clearly.

Besides, the battle just now was so fierce, and the existing monsters had already appeared, how could it not have been discovered?

"Where?"

Ling Tian asked.

Zhang Wenwen didn't answer. After sensing it carefully for a moment, she slowly said, "The place that is very deep from the bottom of the pool, in terms of distance alone, is at least 900 meters away from us!"

"900 meters? Are you sure?"

Ling Tian frowned slightly: "This pool is so big and deep, how could it be 900 meters away?"

The pool is about the size of two or three football fields, the widest point is only 300 meters, and the depth is only seven or eight meters.

900 meters?

Where did it come from such a long distance?

"I have no idea!"

Zhang Wenwen shook her head: "But my perception is not wrong. There is indeed an aura of monsters at a distance of 900 meters from us, and there should be more than one!"

Ling Tian did not speak. He believed in Zhang Wenwen's judgment. From the beginning of the team, Zhang Wenwen's judgment has never been wrong.

She said yes, so it's definitely yes!

"Which direction?"

Ling Tian asked.

"This direction!"

Zhang Wenwen pointed in one direction.

Ling Tian followed the direction she pointed and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go down and investigate!"

Zhang Wenwen was a little hesitant, she wanted to go down with Ling Tian to have a look, but if she thought about it, forget it, she would be a burden if she went.

"Brother Ling, pay attention to safety!"

"Do not worry!"

Ling Tian nodded, jumped dozens of meters high, and fell into the water.

Ling Tian followed the direction Zhang Wenwen pointed and searched at the bottom of the pool.

With such a big pool, it is impossible to emerge 900 meters away out of thin air, so… there is only one explanation.

There are tunnels or cracks at the bottom of the pool, which can lead to farther places, and the monsters stay there.

Ling Tian's body's eyesight is astonishing, even at the bottom of the water where the light is not bright, he can see clearly.

In addition, the breath-holding time was too long, Ling Tian searched all the way at the bottom of the pool, and could clearly see every grass and tree at the bottom of the pool.

"That is..."

Ling Tian squinted his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a crack at the bottom of the pool.

This crack is three or four meters wide and hundreds of meters long, like a scar, imprinted on the bottom of the turbid pool.

"My guess was right!"

Ling Tian secretly delighted, stirring his hands, he swam out of the crack, then plunged into the crack and went downstream.

The fissure was wide, but gradually narrowed as it continued to descend.

In the end, the fissure became an underground passage less than two meters in diameter.

The passage is unknown how deep, surrounded by smooth rock walls, very narrow, and it is dark inside, and I don't know where it leads.

In such a claustrophobic and dark environment, everyone would feel fear and depression, and Ling Tian is no exception.

He was so nervous that he didn't want to go forward, but he was not reconciled.

It's all down, how can I go back if I don't find the monster?

"l just need to continue to walk forward and see what monsters are there?"

The passage is crooked, sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes left...

After about five or six hundred meters, the passage began to face upwards again, and it became wider and wider.

"Is it the end?"

Ling Tian went upstream, and the narrow passage turned into a vast lake. Half a minute later, Ling Tian surfaced.

He turned around and found himself in an underground lake.

The top of the head is a cliff full of stalactites, more than ten meters above the lake, surrounded by quiet lake water.

At first glance, it looks like a huge underground cave.

The underground cave is 10 meters high, 100 meters wide, and a little long.

The bottom of the cave is naturally this vast underground lake.

A thin layer of white mist rippling on the surface of the lake, combined with the surrounding low temperature, formed a gloomy atmosphere.

It is very similar to the underground lake under the tomb of King Xian in "Yunnan Insect Valley".

"This underground lake is so big that it's easy to get lost. I have to make a mark so that I can't find my way back later!"

Ling Tian looked around, and finally jumped up in the air, breaking a stalactite protruding from the top of the cave as a marker.

Afterwards, Ling Tian searched at the bottom of the pool and swam about two or three hundred meters when a light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ling Tian's spirit was shaken, and he swam over quickly. As he continued to advance, the light became brighter and brighter. Although it could not be said to be as bright as day, it was definitely not dark.

As he kept getting closer to the light, Ling Tian saw an astonishing scene.

In front of me was no longer an underground lake, but a wetland covered with strange glowing plants.

These plants, like inlaid light bulbs, emit a soft white light that illuminates all directions.

"Glowing plants?"

Ling Tian was stunned, a plant that would emit light was unheard of.

Even today, 100 years later, all kinds of monsters are everywhere, but I have never heard of any plant that emits light.

"Could it be that because they grow underground, these plants have evolved the ability to emit light in order to adapt to the underground environment?"

Ling Tian swam over, and then went ashore. The ground was covered with large swathes of luminous plants, covering the entire underground cave, like a flowerbed.

This luminous plant does not grow tall, a bit like a common rose in the garden, but its leaves and branches are all white, and the flowers are also white.

It is the white bud that glows, and there is at most one bright white flower growing on each plant.

These white flowers are like incandescent lamps, emitting a soft white light, like works of art, flawless.

"beautiful flowers!"

Ling Tian stretched out his hand and was about to touch these luminous magical plants, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Don't touch!"

"Who?"

Ling Tian's body was instantly tense, and he entered a fighting state.

"Shh-"

A person appeared not far away, wearing a leather jacket and trousers, with a ponytail, straight legs, a slender waist and a good grip, a plump chest, a fair neck, and a creamy skin. Besides Mo Yuan, who else could it be?

"It's you?"

Ling Tian relaxed and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

This underground cave is so secretive, if Zhang Wenwen hadn't discovered that there were monsters here, Ling Tian wouldn't have been able to.

How did Mo Yuan find out?

"Chasing the monsters here!"

Mo Yuan explained lightly: "Don't touch these glowing plants, they may be highly poisonous and will kill people!"

"Very poisonous?"

Ling Tian's expression changed slightly, he even took a step back, kept away from these plants, and then asked, "Sister Mo Yuan, how do you know that these plants are highly poisonous?"

"Look by youself!"

Mo Yuan pointed to the roots of the plant.

Ling Tian heard the words and saw a pile of bones at the root of the plant.

I don't know what kind of creature's bones are accumulated in the roots of plants, some are decayed, and some are still bloodshot.

The key is more than that!

There are piles of white bones piled up at the roots of almost every glowing plant.

Dense white bones piled up all over this luminous vegetation.

"Where did so many bones come from?"

Ling Tian took a deep breath.

"There are a lot of Crystal Salamanders growing in this underground lake. If my expectations are good, these bones should be Crystal Salamanders!" Mo Yuan said softly.

"You mean that these luminous plants killed the Crystal Salamanders and fed on them?" Ling Tian said in shock.

"Yeah!"

Mo Yuan nodded slightly: "The roots of these luminous plants have many small tentacles. These small tentacles are like needles, which can absorb the flesh and blood of crystal salamanders!"

"But they are too weak to kill the Crystal Salamanders, so I guess they are poisonous!"

"Preying on monsters? This is the work of spirit plants. Could it be that all these luminous plants are spirit plants?"
