Helan Linzhang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, there was a row of dark markings on both sides of the stone wall, presumably it was a hole.

If you climb up the rock wall with a pole and a rope, insert the pole into the hole to tie the boat, then fix the rope and jump back to the bone boat. The people at the bow and stern pull the rope at the same time, and the bone boat can leave the river and rise to the top of the boat. Go in mid-air.

It's just not easy to actually do it.

For one thing, when people jumped up and climbed up, the bone boat was still walking on the river. Even if the people on board slowed down the speed of the bone boat with poles, they could not be slower than the climbers. People have to be fast, and when they climb to the hole, they have to keep moving forward until they are at the same level as the bone boat, and then they can pull the rope and jump down, and tie the rope to the rope of the bone boat.

Second, there must be two people climbing the rock wall, and these two people must advance and retreat together, the same up and down.

Finally, the knot is strong, and the person pulling the rope must be strong, fast and steady.

If they were right about the underground river, there would be no tides upstream.

Even if the river flows backwards, given the slope and position upstream, as long as the bone boat does not capsize, there will be no risk of being submerged.

Then why are there holes in the stone walls on both sides of these river sections?
He Lan Linzhang hugged Luo Xiyao's arm tightly, "We have to try."

"How to try?"

"Can you do it alone? I'm going to the front to find Xiao Ke."

Luo Xiyao nodded and said, "Go!"

The stone walls in the underground channels absorb not only light but also sound.

Even though the bone boat was about the same length as the bamboo raft, Helan Linzhang sitting at the tail broke his throat, and Xiao Ke sitting in the front couldn't hear it.

Fortunately, they sat one person every three or four feet. He Lan Linzhang just bumped the fat man in front with his pole, and said loudly: "Tell the people in front, I'll go talk to Xiao Ke."

The fat man was startled and shivered, thinking that something flew out to bite him, the pole in his hand hit him with a backhand, and narrowly stopped him, "I'll tell the thin man right now."

"Looking for Master?" Pingan tilted his shiny head curiously, and before he got an answer, Helan Linzhang had already flown over his head.

The fat man rubbed Ping An's head, "Shall we discuss things? Hey, let alone, with your little bald head, our place is three points brighter than other places!"

"Huh?" Ping'an's eyes were round and round, he raised his small hand to touch the top of his head, and then shook it left and right, "Really? Hehehe, good light, master said bad guys are afraid of bright light! Uncle Da Jin Do you want to shave your hair too?"

Jin Qiri shook his head hastily, "Even if I shave right now, it's too late!"

"That's right!" Ping An looked regretful, "If everyone is bald, maybe they will be able to go out soon!"

Jin Qiri was stunned for a moment, couldn't help looking at Helan Linzhang who was sitting behind Xiao Ke in front of Feiqu, and glanced furtively at Luo Xiyao, he suddenly shuddered, "I don't dare Think about it, but don’t dare to think about it.”

Luo Xiyao raised the pole and hit the fat man's shoulder with a "slap", "What are you muttering about? I can't hear your voice or see your mouth move? Tell the people in front to use the long pole to prop up the fat man's shoulder." Punt the boat, slow the boneship."

"Yes, yes." The fat man nodded repeatedly, imitating Luo Xiyao's example, and slapped the thin man's shoulder heavily...

Xiao Ke pulled the rope across the bone ship and said, "Try?"

"Yes." He Lan Linzhang nodded and said, "The No. 15 and No. 16 steep slope sections are the lowest points of the entire river. Once the tide comes and the river backflows, the entire river may be filled with water. Then the upper reaches These river sections are not in danger of being filled with water, so why are there rows of holes? I guess, it is for the tacit understanding of those who enter the river to participate in the trial."

Helan Linzhang intends to tell Xiao Ke, "Jiu Niang is very strong, but she can't do light work, and she will definitely not be able to climb the rock wall. Even if she is asked to pull the rope to pull the bone boat up, someone must cooperate with her. Otherwise, once Tilt the bone boat, and people will fall into the river."

"It does take multiple attempts. Taking advantage of the smooth upstream river and no big fish in the river, we will try more, and it doesn't matter if we fail."

They had gone over the steep slope, the boneship hadn't capsized, and they hadn't fallen overboard.

However, when the bone boat was pitching, some fish landed on the bone boat with the splashing water. They were all fish they had never seen before. Fortunately, these fish were not poisonous and had no teeth.

I don't know if the big guy in the river didn't show up, or not at all.

In short, before entering the lowest point of the river, they must master the method of hoisting the bone ship.

"You want to try with me first?" Xiao Ke asked.

"That's right. Let's fix the tie-down post. With the rope coming down, the fat man and the thin man can tug the boat together to balance Jiu Niang's strength."

Xiao Ke was startled, "Is she so strong?"

He Lan Linzhang nodded, "We're going down the steep slope soon, and it's too late for this section of the river, so we can only wait for the next section. After the bone boat stabilizes, you stand up and watch my gestures, and I won't be able to make it."

"it is good."

It was a steep slope again, this time the thin man slipped his hands, and the pole brushed against the edge of the reef. Due to the excessive force, his legs slipped out of the rope, and his upper body slipped into the river.

The fat man anxiously wanted to stretch out his hand, but there was still peace in his arms. If he passed by, Ping An would definitely fall off the boat.

Fortunately, Ding Zhen wrapped his calf tightly around the rope, flew over and hugged the thin man's leg, and only after the bone boat left the steep slope did he hurriedly drag the thin man up.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The thin man said with a pale face and trembling, "In the river... there are big guys in the river! I saw fleeting markings, like water snakes."

Everyone on the boat became alert, and even Ping An was holding on to the pole to protect his chest.

"Don't." The thin man wiped his face and said, "It didn't come up."

"What's going on? Can you stop hesitating?" The fat man was so anxious that he wanted to go up and pinch the thin man's shoulders and shake him a few times.

The thin man cleared his throat, and said, "It's about as thick as our bone boat." Then, he stretched his arms for comparison, "What I saw should be the tail, it should be sleeping on the bottom of the river, maybe our bone boat rushed The movement of going down the steep slope disturbed it, so it... turned over and moved its tail..."

"Stop!" The fat man closed his eyes, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Ding Zhendao: "It's actually not surprising. We have all entered such a magical underground palace, and a thick water snake like a python is nothing. Isn't there a gatekeeper dragon in the cold spring? Although I have never seen a gatekeeper dragon, it can be called a dragon." The snake must be very unusual. In order to avoid the water snake, Brother Ke specially let us enter the water when the cold spring of Zishi was full, which shows the danger of the dragon guarding the gate."

"It's just guarding the entrance under the spring, and it doesn't go deep into the underground palace, but here..." Ding Zhen looked at the dark river, "The underground river almost traverses the entire underground palace. What about snakes? They can live for so long, so what’s wrong with bigger ones? It’s scary to speak human words!”
