Going to immortality inexplicably

After such a long downhill journey, Fan Xiaoxiao estimated that he might have reached the bottom of the mountain now, or maybe even below the bottom of the mountain.

There was no end in sight for the long underground river, so she decided to swim upstream to see if she could find the source of the underground river and then find the exit.

The river flows down from above, and after only walking for more than 1000 meters, the road is blocked.

A stone wall penetrates straight into the bottom of the river and is connected with the mountain without any gaps.

There are no cracks or skylight here, and it has become a dark world again.

She took off her net bag and prepared to take a look at the bottom of the water.

With a sudden plunge, he dived more than ten meters, but he still hadn't reached the bottom of the river.

She was secretly surprised. When she first saw the underground river, the water was crystal clear and the bottom seemed to be only a few meters deep.

But now that I'm underwater, I realize that this underground river is far from what it seems on the surface.

After diving for another ten meters, we finally reached the bottom of the river. As expected, the stone wall was connected to the bottom of the river without a single gap.

The river water seemed to seep in from the stone wall, indicating that there must be small cracks in the stone wall, but it was too dark here for her to see those small cracks clearly.

In fact, even if she could see the slit, there was nothing she could do, because she didn't have Sun Wukong's 72 transformations, so she couldn't turn into a little insect and get out of the slit.

After swimming around in the water, I found that the river was more than 100 meters wide, and there was a mountain on the other side, making it impossible to pass.

She had no choice but to return to the shore, pick up her net bag, turn around, and continue walking downhill.

The river also flows downward, so she can only follow the direction of the river to see where this underground river leads in the end.

When we reached a place, the river suddenly made a sharp turn of nearly [-] degrees, and the rushing river water hit the mountain with a loud noise.

The road turned to the other side, going against the underground river.

The water in this sharp bend is not ordinary, and the downward slope has suddenly increased a lot. It is impossible for ordinary people to stabilize their body in the water, let alone control the direction, and can only drift with the current.

If you are hit by the water and hit the mountain, or bumped against the rocks in the river, you may lose several lives.

And judging from the sound, this steep slope is very long, at least several hundred meters long.

As for where it leads below and whether there is an exit, it is unknown.

Because the river flows so fast, a huge whirlpool is formed at the bend. The huge roar of the flowing water drowns out all other sounds.

If she wanted to follow the river, she would have to jump into the water and be immediately sucked into the whirlpool.

Although she would not die in the whirlpool, she could not stay in the water if she was kept trapped by the river water and unable to get ashore.

There was no water spirit power to use, and she couldn't get out the water-avoiding beads. She didn't dare to jump down like that.

Even if the water is clear, it is difficult to see clearly what is going on at the bottom of the river in such a splashing place.

After all, it's too dark here to see anything clearly.

The other road is still downhill, but the slope is obviously not as steep as the river.

Whether the road and the river eventually lead in the same direction is currently unclear.

However, if the road and the river lead in the same direction, that place must be an extremely vast place, maybe the exit.

She stood by the river and listened carefully for a while, and seemed to hear a faint roar that was different from the sound of water coming from below, but the sound of water was too loud to hear clearly.

After hesitating for a while, she decided to abandon the water route and walked towards the dirt road.

As she got further and further away from the river, the sound of water flow gradually disappeared, and she returned to a quiet world again.

The gradient of the descent became steeper, the road became narrower, and the surface became uneven.

She held her breath and listened to the various subtle sounds around her. The earthy smell in the air became heavier and heavier, and it became more and more humid. It must have reached the bottom of the mountain.A new hole appeared in front of it. She looked down and saw nothing.

She lit the torch again and found that there were layers of steps under the cave entrance, winding down with no end in sight.

She found three twigs and tied them together, lit them and threw them down.

The fire fell on the steps and was extinguished in less than a minute.

She frowned. There was no wind below. It was only because of the thin air that the branches could not continue to burn.

Logically speaking, this hole is not closed, and there is no problem of air being unable to circulate. It only means that the air below is getting thinner and thinner, which is why this situation occurs.

She wasn't worried about lack of oxygen now, but she didn't know how deep it was down here, and if the air continued to decay, she didn't know how long she could hold on.

So, she put out the torch, sat down on the spot, and prepared to adjust her body to the best condition.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt that all the fatigue was gone and her body was back to its best condition.

In her current condition, she can walk in a cave with thin air for about two hours. Of course, she cannot use consuming exercises such as Qinggong, otherwise she may suffer from hypoxia.

She lit the torch again and walked into the cave without hesitation.

Anyway, we have arrived here, and there is no way to go. It is impossible not to go down and take a look.

Step by step, she went down slowly.

After walking only a dozen meters, I could clearly feel that the air was starting to get dry.

The steps were only a meter wide, and they were just curved. There was a turn within one or two meters, so it was impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

After walking for more than fifty meters, a hand suddenly stretched out from the cave wall on the left and grabbed her left shoulder just as she turned around to leave.

She has been on the battlefield for a long time, and now she is on high alert, not daring to relax at all. Moreover, her hearing is amazing, and she suddenly heard the sound of the hand breaking through the wall.

In fact, the sound is extremely subtle. If you are in a relaxed state, you cannot hear it at all.

She reacted quickly and jumped forward two steps to avoid the attack of the hand.

But just as she stood still, two hands stretched out from both sides of the cave wall where she stood, grabbing her shoulders.

The hand was grabbed from behind just now, so she couldn't see what it looked like. Now that two hands were coming from the side, she finally saw what it looked like.

The arms of the two hands were slender and white, only as thick as her fingers. The open palms only had two fingers, which were also extremely slender.

But judging from the momentum, those two fingers were extremely powerful. As long as they were caught, they would definitely penetrate directly into her flesh.

There was no weapon in her hand, only a torch, so she turned the torch toward one of her hands, and that hand quickly retracted back to the cave wall. It seemed that it was also afraid of fire.

She quickly followed the same example and forced her other hand back to the cave wall.

At this time, she no longer cared about the danger of hypoxia, and quickly quickened her pace, just wanting to leave this long staircase as soon as possible.

However, no matter how she ran, those slender hands would always appear suddenly from the cave wall.

The appearance of those hands was erratic and silent. If it weren't for her amazing hearing, which made it impossible to predict in advance, she might have been caught long ago.

She could only fly the torch up and down, left and right, and force all those hands back.

But her waving accelerated the burning speed of the torch, and those hands appeared more and more frequently. If the torch in her hand burned out, she would not even have the chance to relight a new one.

There was no end in sight to the steps ahead, and she didn't know where she could hold on.

Suddenly, she felt her back sink. She felt something bad in her heart, and one hand firmly grasped the net bag behind her back.

The force was so strong that it actually pulled her towards the cave wall.
