People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 145 Magnetic Field

On the rugged underground lake, a band of light that sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses flows leisurely. Two rafts on the lake, one behind the other, are following the light band.

When the light belt composed of the alien insects reached the edge of the underground space, Chen Ziyan, who was standing on the raft in front, immediately noticed something was wrong.

I didn't realize it when I looked at it from a distance just now, but now that I'm getting closer, I suddenly realize that this is not a stone wall with nothing, but something else.

In front of the real cave wall, a semi-curved stone wall stands here, perfectly covering the mystery behind it. It looks like it is completely natural, without any flaws.

"searchlight!"

Chen Ziyan, who vaguely heard the sound of water flowing, knew that they would soon see the real Ziduan River, so he greeted the others beside him.

The underground river is no different than this lake. The water flow must be much more rapid, so the field of vision becomes extremely important. Whether it is a flashlight or a cold firework, it cannot compare with powerful lighting equipment such as a searchlight.

After hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Shirley Yang reacted the fastest and immediately took out a portable searchlight from her bag and handed it to him.

Speaking of which, this is the first time they have used this thing.

There is no way, why is the power consumption of this searchlight too high, and the battery carried cannot be used all the time, and can only be reserved for critical moments.

Navigating the underground river happens to be such a critical moment.

Chen Ziyan took the searchlight without looking back, and the next second a powerful beam of light came out of his hand, illuminating the scene in front of him as bright as day.

At this time, the raft had followed the leading light strip and crossed the screen-like stone wall, and what appeared in front of them was a waterway nearly three meters wide.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, it can be clearly seen that this is the water injection port of the underground lake.

What's more, regardless of whether they were the passengers on the raft or Hu Bayi and others in charge of punting the boat, they could clearly feel the resistance coming from the current. It was obvious that they were going against the current.

After passing through a waterway about 100 meters long, the two rafts, led by the light belt, finally entered the real Ziduan River.

The water flow in the Ziduan River is more rapid. Fortunately, their direction is downstream, so this is a good thing for them and can save a lot of effort.

"Boom——"

Not far after they left the waterway, a flash of flame suddenly appeared behind them, followed by a roar.

It was the time bomb that Chen Ziyan threw on the wall of the waterway cave when others were not paying attention and detonated.

Seeing the rocks falling continuously behind them, as if the waterway was about to collapse, everyone in the team except Chen Ziyan frowned.

This is a dead end!

Some of them could vaguely guess what was going on, while others looked blank and had no idea what was going on.

Time passed slowly like this, and two days had passed since their departure.

Deep underground in the desert, a band of light that sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses swims leisurely in the river, and behind this band of light, there are two simple rafts.

When the raft goes down the river, there is no need to expend manpower on paddling; it is enough to control the direction.

Wang Kaixuan, who was unable to move anything, flicked the burnt cigarette butt in his hand and said listlessly: "Why hasn't this arrived yet?"

His character is destined to be resistant to such a boring environment.

Especially since there weren't many fish in the underground river, it made him feel uninteresting. He couldn't find anything to do to relieve his boredom.

Hearing his words, Hu Bayi, who was resting next to him, subconsciously raised his wrist and looked at the time: "Why are you so anxious? It's only six o'clock and the third day has just started."

He was actually a little irritable, but it wasn't that he couldn't bear it, so he didn't complain like Wang Kaixuan.

They had long heard from Black Glasses that it would take at least a week to get from Xiye Ancient City to Zagrama Mountain. Even if the waterway was faster, it would take more than three days.

But the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Chen Ziyan, who was sitting in front of the raft, couldn't help but frown slightly.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that the last time Hu Bayi looked at the time, he said it was six o'clock. Why is it still six o'clock now?

This interval must be at least three hours, right?

Thinking about it, Chen Ziyan looked at his wrist, only to find that it was even more outrageous. It actually showed that it was one o'clock in the morning.

As his mind wandered, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is, is it possible that they have arrived near Zagrama Mountain?

He remembered very clearly that the artificially separated Zagrama Mountain was a magnetic mountain that could affect the nearby magnetic field.

If we really reach the vicinity of Zagrama Mountain, then the problem of the watch losing accuracy can be reasonably explained.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but stand up immediately.

Not only did he remember that Zagrama Mountain is Cishan, but he also remembered that the Ziduan River flows directly under the Jingjue City. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to stop, he will really have to swim against the current if he wants to go back.

.

While standing up, Chen Ziyan did not forget to grab the searchlight next to him. At the same time, he also greeted: "Old Hu, Fatty, we may be going somewhere, you two, be prepared!"

Hu Bayi: "Master Chen, don't worry, we are always ready."

"Okay!" After Wang Kaixuan responded, he asked with some confusion: "Mr. Chen, how did you know it was coming?"

They chatted a lot along the way, but he didn't hear a word Chen Ziyan said about this, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Although the others didn't ask, they were all prepared and secretly pricked up their ears.

Chen Ziyan didn't hide anything, and gave the answer directly: "It's all thanks to Lao Hu. When he just said six o'clock, I felt something was wrong, so I looked at the watch and found that there should be a magnetic field here."

"It is said that Zagrama Mountain is a black magnetic mountain, so I think we should have entered its range. Even if we haven't arrived yet, we should not be far away."

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the fatigue on everyone's faces was immediately wiped away, and everyone was 200% more energetic.

Hu Bayi suddenly slapped his forehead: "I'm confused. Why do I feel something is wrong? It was fucking six o'clock just now."

After being reminded by Chen Ziyan, he also thought of this.

However, Shirley Yang showed some doubts. She came to Chen Ziyan and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, you seem to be very familiar with Jingjue Ancient City?"

In fact, this was not the first time that she had felt this way, but she had never expressed it. At this time, she finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Ziyan looked at the rushing water in front of him and said calmly: "I heard this mentioned by the elders in the family."
