Chapter 2362: The End of the Valley
The four of them quickened their pace and walked quickly towards the valley.
But the further we walked, the thicker the miasma became.
The numerous bones of animals on the ground became numerous again.
If we keep going like this, we don't know when it will end.
But the four of them knew that they could not reach the end of the "Valley of a Hundred Corpses" before dark. It would be even more dangerous to stay in the valley at night.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the miasma in the air finally became thinner.
In front of me, a big mountain appeared.
There is a spectacular waterfall on the mountain, pouring down.
But apart from the waterfall, I didn't see the legendary "Dongtian Paradise" at all.
After the water from the waterfall flowed down, a huge deep pool was formed below.
The water in the pool is very green, and it is very deep at first glance.
As the saying goes: clear water means shallow water, green water means deep water, and dark water means deep water.
Except for this super large waterfall, there is no road ahead.
Zhu Linlin said: "Isn't this the end of the Valley of Corpses?"
Professor Liu nodded and said, "It should be right here!"
"But legend has it that the end of the Valley of Hundred Corpses isn't the Moon-Wangxi Stream? But apart from this pool and waterfall, where is the Moon-Wangxi Stream?"
Without saying a word, Zhao Xu walked to the edge of the pond and took a look.
Seeing the deep green of the pool, I didn't know how deep it was.
However, fortunately, we finally walked out of the "Valley of Hundred Corpses" before dark. However, I was a little disappointed because I didn't see the legendary "Cave Heaven Paradise".
After seeing the waterfall and pond, Zhao Xu looked around again to see if there were any special herbs.
But after searching around, I couldn't find any special herbs.
Zhao Xu walked back to Professor Liu and said, "Professor Liu, it seems that the legend is false. There is no Cave Paradise and Wangyue Creek here, there is only one waterfall."
Professor Liu frowned and said, "Let's find a place to spend the night first! Then we'll look around nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu's expression changed drastically and he made a "Shh!" gesture to the four of them.
After greeting Professor Liu, Su Rou and Zhu Linlin, the three of them hid under a huge rock under the waterfall.
The water in the pool began to bubble, and not long after, two people emerged from the water.
Both of them were dressed in ancient costumes, which made Zhao Xu and Professor Liu stunned.
After the two came ashore, one of them said: "The leader asked us to pick up people. We may not be able to participate in tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony!"
"Yes! Tomorrow, those three guys will light up sky lanterns to worship the gods. This is the most solemn event in our Tianji Palace."
"The key is that the saint will also be burned alive. It's a pity to think about it!"
"What's a pity? Those modern people will definitely attack us if they know that we exist. Now, it's so good for us to live in isolation from the outside world."
"Let's go quickly! I hope I can pick up someone and be back in time."
The two people talked and quickly left the scene.
After the two people left, Zhao Xu and four others walked out from behind the boulder.
The water splashed from the waterfall wetted the clothes of the four people.
The temperature in the valley was so cold that Zhu Linlin shrank her body and sneezed!
Su Rou exclaimed: "Why is there anyone in this pool of water?"
Professor Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
He was also puzzled.
Zhao Xu suddenly had an idea and said, "Isn't the Wangyue Creek under the pond?"
Apart from this explanation, it is really impossible to explain how those two people came out of such a deep pool.
Professor Liu frowned and said, "But the water doesn't have the conditions for human survival either!"
Su Judao: "Those two people just said that Tianji Palace is going to hold a sacrifice. Three people are also going to light sky lanterns. Who will those three people be?"
Professor Liu's expression changed drastically, he slapped his thigh and said, "No! It could be the big countries."
The whereabouts of Lu Daguo, Zhang Xiong and Qu Haoming remain unknown.
At Tianji Palace, three people were going to light the sky lanterns, and the three of them, Lu Daguo, were just right in terms of numbers. Therefore, Professor Liu immediately thought of the three missing scientific expedition team members.
Zhu Linlin exclaimed: "No way! Could it be that Brother Daguo and the others were caught?"
"It's very possible! Look at those two people just now, they can freely enter and exit the Valley of Hundred Corpses. Maybe they can really capture the three people from the Great Power."
"Then what should we do? Do we have to dive into the water?" Su Rou asked.
She had never encountered such a thing before. She looked at Zhao Xu!
Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Since they can get out of the water, there may be some mechanism hidden in the water. Let's do this! You guys wait on the shore, and I'll go in and take a look first."
"Okay!" Professor Liu nodded and said, "That's all we can do!"
Zhao Xu took off his backpack and handed it to Su Rou.
His clothes had been soaked through by the water from the waterfall.
Jump into the pool and swim with the water.
But the deeper you dive, the greater the water pressure becomes!
Zhao Xu's body could not withstand the huge pressure of the water pressure and he quickly floated up.
After landing, Professor Liu asked Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, have you found anything?"
Zhao Xu shook his head and said he found nothing.
Moreover, the water at the falling point of the waterfall is very fast. The water pressure below is so strong that it is impossible to dive to the bottom, and I don’t know how deep the water is.
For a moment, the four of them didn’t know what to do!
Professor Liu said: "Since those two people came out of the water, there must be some mechanism in the water. We have been walking for a day and our bodies are already tired. We are not in a hurry. We will wait until we have a rest!"
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Okay!"
The four of them left the pool and found a cave nearby that could accommodate four people.
After entering the cave, the four of them did not dare to light a fire for fear of attracting the attention of the people from the "Tianji Palace".
After eating some dried meat, my body gradually warmed up.
At the bottom of the valley, the temperature was low, and all four of them were soaked.
Zhao Xu was worried that Su Rou, Zhu Linlin and Professor Liu could not bear it, so he asked the three of them to take turns to change into dry clothes.
After the three of them changed into dry clothes, they felt much better.
However, when I thought about going to the water to explore the secrets and the clothes on my body would get wet again, I couldn't be happier.
Professor Liu said: "Those two people are from Tianji Palace, which means there must be opportunities in the water. Let's rest for a while and go to the water to explore again at night."
Zhao Xu said: "Okay!"
We are already here. If we cannot solve the secret of "Valley of Hundred Corpses", it will be the biggest regret for both Zhao Xu and Professor Liu.
At night, a bright moon hung in the sky.
Zhao Xu had nothing to do and strolled to the edge of the pond alone.
When he came to the edge of the pool, he saw the bright moon shining into the pool.
Suddenly I found that the moon seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the water.
Huh?
Zhao Xu picked up a small piece of stone and threw it towards the moon in the water. After ripples were made, the moon was still shining on the bottom of the water.
Chapter completed!
