Another Big River

Lin Qiao stopped short when she heard what Duan Juan said, and then she kept moving forward. She felt that the latter's idea wasn't entirely impossible! She did make an underground gorilla obey her and managed to communicate with it with zombie roars. But, before she could try to do that to an underground creature from this area, she had to find one.

Duan Juan and the others didn't know what Lin Qiao was thinking about. They made a few jokes with each other while following her forward.

At that moment, the ground started declining. Lin Qiao had been detecting the changes of the surrounding scents and vibes. She would stop walking and spend a short while observing if she sensed anything strange about the surrounding scents or the wind.

After the fork road, the ground had been inclining downward all the way while the meters tall tunnel was growing narrower and narrower. The slope became steeper and steeper, and the air temperature started dropping drastically.
