Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 34 Water

According to legend, there are innumerable gold and silver treasures in the ancient city of Jingjue, and gold is everywhere, but now everyone has carefully looked at the entire palace.

While excited, he felt full of regret, because apart from the throne and the floor of the main hall being made of jade, the lamp chains on the ceiling had rotted and broken and fell to the ground.

There are even a few gerbils crawling around in the corners. The air is circulating here. Except for some jade products, pottery, wood, iron, copper, silk and other objects have been severely damaged by air erosion.

In addition, at some point, gerbils came into the underground palace. These guys usually feed on the roots of desert plants and insects underground in the desert. They like to grind their teeth with hard objects, so many things in the underground palace are Be eaten away by them.

Only the jade throne is the best preserved in the main hall. There is a red jade eye engraved on the top of the jade throne. The whole body of the seat is inlaid with gold and silver. Jade as white as goat's milk.

Needless to say the value of this throne, it's a pity that it's too big, don't even think about playing with it, if Feng Sijiu has a space ring.

Maybe I'll try to see if I can get it away, just the throne of the Queen of Absoluteness, and I can wash my hands in a golden basin when I go back...

Then everyone moved to the side halls on both sides. After seeing the extremely simple inside, they turned to the apse. This is the rest and living place of the members of the royal family. There are only a few fountains with jade fences, but they have already dried up.

As soon as Feng Sijiu entered the apse, he heard the clear sound of running water in his ears, so he said to everyone:

"There is a sound of water flowing, it seems that there is really groundwater here."

Hearing what he said, everyone raised their ears to listen carefully, and sure enough, they only heard the sound of water gurgling not far away, and the direction should be behind the bedroom.

At that moment, everyone quickened their pace and found the sound of water, and soon came to a cave behind the hall.

I saw that the terrain of this cave was extremely low, and after going down very deep, I came to a natural stone cave the size of a stadium. Although it was natural, it was obviously artificially repaired, and the ground was very flat.

I saw a small underground lake in the cave, a raised land in the lake, like a small island in the center of the lake, only ten square meters in size, the flat lake is like a mirror, surrounding it.

Since they did not carry a lot of water, the group had been drinking only the minimum standard ration of water for a week, which could not quench their thirst at all.

Not to mention Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo who are two old people, even Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, two tough guys, seeing the cool groundwater at this time, can't wait to plunge their heads into it and drink.

Seeing Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan yelling anxiously, Shirley Yang hurriedly stopped in front and said whether the underground water is safe or not, and whether it can be drunk is not yet known, and she needs to be careful.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, everyone felt that it made sense. Hu Bayi, who rushed to the front, held back his impatience. He walked to the lake and looked in, only to see several colorful little tails in the lake. Fish swim.

He couldn't help turning around and laughing:
"Miss Yang, you have filtered too much. There are fish in this lake, and there must be springs in the depths. It is running water and will not be poisonous."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Wang Kaixuan beside him had already bent down, his whole face had been pressed into the lake, and he had already started to drink in big gulps.

Seeing this situation, Hu Bayi had no time to look at him anymore, and immediately followed suit. For a moment, there seemed to be two animals drinking water with their heads down by the lake.

Seeing this, Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng couldn't bear it any longer, and ran to the lake to drink water as soon as they opened their legs.

But at this time, he saw another person blocking the way ahead.

Feng Sijiu looked meaningfully at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who were drinking water, and reached out to hold Professor Chen and others behind them.

"Professor, wait a little longer, the water is not clean."

Hearing what Feng Sijiu said, Professor Chen knew that he was doing it for everyone's benefit, so he pursed his chapped lips and smiled:

"Xiao Feng, you've heard it all. There are fish in the lake, so the water should be drinkable."

Seeing that several people misunderstood his meaning, Feng Sijiu continued to add:
"If you can drink it, you can drink it, but it's not very clean. You can see it there."

Seeing that Feng Sijiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the raised land in the lake after speaking, everyone hurriedly cast their eyes there in doubt.

I saw that in the moment when Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan drank the water, the raised flat ground in the lake was already covered with a dense layer of blue thorax.

There were tens of thousands of them, their bodies gradually turned grayish white, and they crawled out of their shells one by one.

There seems to be a lot of fluorescent light on the molted insect body, which is shining at the moment, as bright as the stars in the sky, and many of them have already flown up at the moment.

No one thought that there could be so many glowing insects in this lake. When they saw this scene, they felt like they were in a dream.

However, before everyone recovered, at this moment, countless big mice suddenly jumped into the cave from all directions. These mice were not afraid of humans at all, and turned a blind eye to the people standing by the lake.

One by one jumped into the lake without hesitation, went to the water, scrambling to climb up the raised ground in the center of the lake, you scrambled, grabbed the insects that had just shed their shells, and kept sending them to their mouths to eat them. I ate everything.

Seeing this scene, Professor Chen, Shirley Yang and the others finally realized what happened to the unclean lake that Feng Sijiu had been emphasizing all along.

Now that many big mice are swimming in the lake, they must often have dinner here, otherwise they would not be so proficient in their movements.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were drinking vigorously, how could they have imagined that so many rats would appear all at once, swimming around in this lake.

Seeing this, the two of them opened their mouths and vomited loudly, almost vomiting out the lake water they drank just now.

The group of rats came and went quickly, and each of them was full, so they swam back to the shore one after another and ran away in all directions.

Wang Kaixuan was so angry that he picked up the butt of his gun and smashed several rats. Seeing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him from exterminating rats.

Even talking about the rules passed down from his grandfather's generation, the members of Lao Hu's family are not allowed to hurt mice. Anyway, these mice didn't hurt you, so just let them go.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan spat and cursed:

"Old Hu, you bastard, this is called appeasement. It turns out that this water is where the rats bathe and eat, but they're disgusting to me. I drank so hard just now, I don't know how much rat feces and rat hair they drank."

Hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, not to mention Hu Bayi, even Shirley Yang, Professor Chen and others who hadn't had a little drink all felt a churn in their stomachs.

Everyone hurriedly left the place where the mice bathed and ate, and walked along the road. The further they went, the more moisture they felt.

I saw that the surrounding walls began to become more and more damp, and continued to walk hundreds of meters away, and finally saw a fast-flowing dark river lying across the entrance of the cave.

This is the Zidu Dark River that has flowed under the sea of ​​sand for thousands of years and has never dried up. The river is not only large in flow, but also very deep.

There is another large cave on the other side of the river, which is connected by a black stone bridge in the middle. The bridge body is also made of black stone from Mount Zagrama, and it is just like this.

Seeing that we have arrived here, we should take a short rest first, replenish our strength and then discuss the next journey.

Seeing the flowing river water at this moment, everyone was completely relieved and drank vigorously, only Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan already felt a little disgusted by the water, and just stood aside and watched.

Due to Ye Yixin's dehydration, she couldn't drink a lot of water directly, so Shirley Yang used salt and a pot of water, and gave her the medicine little by little.
