Beast

The Xumi gourd was filled with a layer, and Yang Qing cut off the useful materials from the hook snake and python, washed the blood on his hands in the underground river, and stared at the underground river in a daze.

Yang Qing secretly thought, "This underground river will definitely lead to the waterfall where Yang Qing stayed for more than six months."

The water in the waterfall is abnormally cold because the stream flowing with stalactites merges into the underground river, and the underground river rises to the ground to form a waterfall.

At this time, Yang Qing wanted to go back to the Han Iron Mining Area. During this period of time, he lived in isolation and lived with monsters, so much so that he felt that he was about to turn into a monster.

There is no one around me to talk to, and I feel quite lonely.

Nowadays, I am in desperate situation, my heart is ups and downs, and I want to find someone to talk to.

If he wanted to get to the cold iron mining area, he had to return to the waterfall first. Yang Qing was chased by thirteen people. During the escape process, he was in a panic and didn't choose which direction he ran in. He didn't pay attention to which direction he ran or how far he ran.

The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. If you want to return from the land, it is difficult to identify the direction. Taking the wrong path will only waste time and increase the danger.

This underground river is a shortcut, I am sure, but I am still a little nervous. This underground river is very fast, and when my body hits the rock wall, it will either turn black or my head will be bruised and bloody.

Under the dual influence of the temptation of this shortcut and curiosity, Yang Qing tightened his robe, tucked the Xumi gourd, scratched his left arm, and touched his bald head.

"Plop"

He jumped into the underground river with a stainless steel rod. This underground river was about ten feet deep. After jumping in, he did not go over his head. The cold river water did not make Yang Qing feel uncomfortable, but the rapidity of the water made him unable to control his body shape.

Yang Qing held her breath and entered the fetal breath, without using her hands or kicking her feet, her body moved forward naturally along with the surging water.

After practicing in the pool for half a year, Yang Qing has not learned how to swim, but he has gotten rid of his fear of water. He relaxes his body and lets his consciousness go out. Yang Qing is like a swimming fish, moving forward along the river.

The cave was a hundred feet long and wide. After a while, Yang Qing was taken out of the cave by the underground river and walked through the rock wall.

Entering the underground mountain, the river channel becomes narrower and the river becomes more rapid. Yang Qing swings with the water flow, ups and downs, and his consciousness is released. He can avoid the edges, corners and bends in time, without any danger.

The fine steel rod whipped him from time to time, and he dodged dexterously. Yang Qing felt that his idea was very wise. Without any effort, the river took him more than a mile away, and the river water washed his body, making him feel comfortable in a different way.

There are so many strange things in this underground place, and you are completely lost. There is nothing around you to refer to, and you have no way of knowing where you are at this time.

The water flow slows down, layers are piled up, the water level rises, and the rushing river water behind it creates waves several feet high in front of it.

Ahead, the river narrowed again, allowing only three people to pass side by side while squatting. Yang Qing observed this situation with his consciousness, concentrated on it, and responded in advance.

Put your legs together, slow down your body, and close the steel rod to your body.

"Bang, bang..."

The stainless steel rod whipped the narrow hole, and the river water entered the narrow channel, and the flow rate increased sharply. Yang Qing relied on the counter-shock force of the stainless steel rod to maintain his body shape in the middle of the current.

"suck…"

Yang Qing stuck his head out and took a long breath. The narrow river channel was half a mile away. The fine steel rod was constantly beating, and it was difficult to maintain the fetal breath.

After this period, the river widens, the river slows down, the water level drops, and it becomes difficult for the body to float in the river.

Yang Qing stood up. The water in the river was waist-deep and the channel was very low. Yang Qing had to brave his waist to move forward. The water in the river was slightly turbid. He didn't see a single fish in the river for so long. Maybe it was because the water was too cold.

After walking for two or three miles, the underground river passed through a cave again, but this cave was much smaller than the previous one.

Yang Qing observed in the cave. There were about a hundred water flows in the cave that merged into the underground river. Those hundreds of water flows also had an extremely light blue-white milky color. If Yang Qing hadn't carefully distinguished it, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

.

That layer of thick, rich stalactite essence took thousands of years to form. Yang Qing realized that he had obtained a rare treasure and couldn't help but squeeze the Xumi gourd tightly over and over again.

Moving forward along the underground river again, when the terrain became low, Yang Qing lay in the water and moved forward with the current. When the terrain was high, he sometimes stood and walked, sometimes crawled forward.

The river widened and spread four to five feet. Yang Qing stood there and encountered a problem.

Not far ahead, the river branched in three places and flowed in three different directions. Yang Qing was dumbfounded when he looked at these three cave entrances.

If the sun, moon and stars could be seen at this time, Yang Qing would be able to identify the direction, and at least be able to find a branch flowing to the periphery. Once he reaches the periphery of the Dongju Mountains, it would not be difficult to find the way back to the Hantie Mining Area.

At this time, when north and south are unclear, and east and west are unclear, how do you make a choice when faced with a choice?

If the road ends in darkness, Yang Qing will recognize it and have no choice but to move forward.

Yang Qing looked at the three branches in front of him and finally realized his recklessness. Qi Xiaohu and others had said this to him, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Go back?" Yang Qing said to himself doubtfully, turning his body to look ahead and then behind him.

"Walk!"

The fine steel rod hit the river water, and white water splashed up into Lao Gao's body, running towards the three branches, and he walked through the middle one.

"What's coming? What's next?" Yang Qing thought to himself.

When you walk into the middle branch, the water volume decreases, so you can't rely on the river water to float, so you can only walk on foot.

After stumbling for about an hour and a half, the river spread and entered a cave, which was about the same size as the cave Yang Qing fell into.

Inside this cave, it is dark and humid, with no stalactites, only sharp protrusions of rocks. The underground river converges to form a pool, covering the bottom of the cave, and then flows out of the cave.

Where the river flows out, there is a faint yellow light shining through.

"Exit!" Yang Qing said in surprise. After walking for so long, everything around him was the same. He suspected that this branch would have no end.

Yang Qing walked in the waist-deep water pool, and the water in the pool made a "swishing" sound as he carried him.

"Gulu"

Bubbles appeared in the water pool at the bottom of the cave, and a skeleton of an animal floated up. Yang Qing looked closely and saw that there were more than a dozen animal skeletons floating in the pool.

These bones have been soaked in water for a long time and have all turned black.

Just then!

Something suddenly jumped out of the pond next to Yang Qing. It turned into a black shadow at an extremely fast speed and headed straight for Yang Qing.

Yang Qing stared at the beast skeleton intently, and was startled by the movement beside him. Before he could look at it, the stainless steel rod came out from the side.

"puff…"

The fine steel rod hit the black shadow, smashing it into pieces and scattering the flesh and blood.

The feeling that the fine steel rod conveyed to Yang Qing was that it was soft and smooth. If the force were lighter, it would only be able to knock it away.

With the sound of 'pop', dense black shadows emerged from the pool water, and even a group of black shadows poured down from the top of the cave.

"Zhizhi..."

Above the head, below the feet, and in all directions, there are all black shadows, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

The cave was dark, and the shadows were so fast that Yang Qing's eyes couldn't catch them. His consciousness spread out and shrouded it.

Yang Qing was immediately frightened by what he saw. What emerged from the water was a foot-long black fish with wings. The fish's head was hideous, covered with horny spikes, and its mouth was full of crooked and protruding fangs.

Pressed down from the top of the cave is a black bat that is larger than a pigeon. Its round eyes are flashing with bloodthirsty light, its fangs are exposed, and its claws are sharp.

Yang Qing didn't have time to take a closer look. The steel rods were dancing, the wind was strong, the pool water was splashing, and a black screen appeared in front of Yang Qing.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The sound of broken flesh and blood was heard endlessly, and with this dense sound, clouds of blood mist exploded in the cave.

The humid air was filled with the strong smell of blood, and it was as if a bucket of red ink had been poured into the waist-deep water.

There are so many strange fish with wings that the black screen can only block one side, and strange fish are also emerging from behind Yang Qing.

"squeak…"

A shrill scream sounded above the head, the sound was layered, and the distant pool water rippled.

The huge bat, with its sharp claw hook, hooked onto the soft body of the strange fish, flapped its webbed wings, and flew towards the top of the cave.

At this time, there was chaos in the cave, with strange fish attacking Yang Qing, and the densely packed bats took the opportunity to catch the strange fish.

"puff"

The strange fish attacked Yang Qing from the water. Although Yang Qing did not look down, he knew it. He raised his foot and stepped on it. The strange fish shattered into pieces, leaving only the ferocious, hard fish head and palm-sized fins floating on the surface of the water.

Yang Qing looked forward, behind, and at his feet, but he didn't care about the black bats above his head. Their eyes were shining with blood. They crowded and collided with each other. Some bats couldn't control their bodies and hit Yang Qing's head.

The bat fell down in a daze, and before it fell into the water, it was bitten by the strange fish in the air and dragged into the water.

Stormy waves!

Yang Qing found an opening and raised the fine steel rod high, and ten stick shadows appeared instantly.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Peng, Peng, Peng..."

The rising strange fish couldn't block the shadow of the stick at all. The strange fish and bats turned into blood mist, and the pool water exploded, splashing up several feet into the air, wrapped in balls of blood and minced meat, and fell back into the pool.

The pieces of meat that fell into the pool were eaten wildly by strange fish, and even bats put their claws deep into the water.

The strange fish behind him saw that Yang Qing's back was wide open, and they all swarmed up, their sharp and twisted teeth clashing with each other.

If a strange fish is bitten by teeth like this, it cannot be removed without tearing off a piece of flesh.

Yang Qing knew the crisis behind him. Taking advantage of the brief calm in front of him, he suddenly rushed forward and swung the steel rod back to beat the black fish.

"Pfft, pfft,"

There is no need to control the angle of the swing, just hit it and it will be a piece.

The pool of water was cut open by Yang Qing's extremely fast figure, and he headed straight towards the light in front of him.

Stormy waves! Sprint forward again!

This strange fish had been hungry for too long and was frantically scrambling for the scraps of meat in the pond. The scene was brutal, but it left Yang Qing with room to spare.

The dim yellow light was getting closer and closer. When it arrived, Yang Qing climbed out of the cave entrance at a height of 10 people and finally left the underground river.

"Where the hell is this place?"

Yang Qing looked at the strange fish hanging on his legs and waist and said with a grimace.;
