Free Web NovelChapter 2161: Chapter 2198: The Mechanized Ancient Passage
Now the most critical problem is that all four teams have entered, food has suddenly become scarce, and there may be fights over food. Lin Zixuan and Tian Qianlian’s teams have been trapped for many days, and there’s a lot of resentment in their hearts. It’s possible that a chaotic fight could break out.
Herr Ningshuang called for everyone to keep a low profile, not to provoke members of the other teams, and not to start a war.
Herr Ningshuang’s worries quickly became reality. Five or six hours later, Lin Zixuan’s team woke up after a nap and started frantically searching for animals in the valley. These animals were hunted and brought back to Lin Zixuan, who placed them into the space ring.
This angered the young masters of Tianmu Sea. Now, the only enjoyment for the young masters and misses of Tianmu Sea is barbecue twice a day. With all these animals hunted down, what would they eat afterward?
Herr Liyan immediately took people to negotiate, but Lin Zixuan’s people simply ignored them and continued hunting, not caring about what the young master of Tianmu Sea said, treating it as nonsense.
A conflict broke out, Lin Zixuan did not make a move, but two mid-level third-level Divine Realm people from Divine Heaven Country did, easily injuring Herr Liyan and the Shen family brothers. In the end, it was Herr Ningshuang and her sister who intervened to stop them.
Lin Zixuan stepped forward, said a few casual words as an apology, chided the people from Divine Heaven Country, and took them back.
Herr Ningshuang suppressed her people. Herr Liyan and others were only slightly injured, and no lives were at risk. Herr Ningshuang didn’t want to escalate the matter.
When Ding Fan woke up from cultivation, he came out to inquire about the matter, regretting not having ordered people to store food earlier. Now those small animals are being hunted, and the food supply is evidently insufficient.
"Fishing!" Ding Fan quickly noticed and said, "Send someone to fish and first stock up on some food."
Herr Ningshuang hesitated for a moment. If they went fishing, it might trigger competition among the four teams for food, and could possibly lead to a larger conflict, which would be troublesome.
"Fishing?" Ding Fan suddenly asked with a feeling, "Did you send anyone to search below the pool?"
Herr Ningshuang was a bit surprised, then realized and said, "Shen Yue, go to the pool to investigate immediately; perhaps the exit is at the bottom of the pool."
"Don’t rush!"
Ding Fan waved his hand and said, "Young Master Shen Yue, let us prepare in the dark. Later you pretend to take a bath; if you find the exit, signal us. If the passage is there, we’ll seize this opportunity." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The entire valley had been searched, but no one thought of the pool bottom. People had a fixed mindset, believing the exit was through those doors, and were searching for the mechanism to open the door. Who would have thought about the pool bottom?
The pool bottom was full of mud, noticed by many during bathing, and because the pool was not deep, no one thought it was submerged.
This pool was living water, flowing from a spring at a corner of the valley into the pool.
At this moment, Ding Fan just figured out a question. This pool water keeps coming in but doesn’t flow out? The pool maintains its level, indicating there must be an underground river at the bottom, taking the water away. With an underground river, and the water being able to flow out of the valley, it suggests a passage out of the valley, maybe an exit.
Herr Ningshuang gathered people to secretly prepare. Shen Yue, with two others, went to the swimming pool, swaggered, took off their clothes, and took a bath, making the young miss in the distance angry yet unable to say anything.
Finding an opportunity, Shen Yue quietly submerged into the water, exploring the pool bottom. Unfortunately, there was a lot of mud below, and after searching twice, Shen Yue did not find anything.
Ding Heng dove into the pool for the third time and suddenly noticed the water near a large rock at the pool bottom seemed to have some movement. He dove in and pushed the rock, which shimmered but did not move.
"There’s a prohibition, the exit should be here."
Shen Yue took out the battle axe behind him, swung it out, and the rock suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing a dark hole.
"Here it is!"
Shen Yue was delighted, without hesitation, he moved towards the hole. It was indeed an underground river, Shen Yue submerged into the hole and soon discovered a massive underground river. There was a dark gate shining on the riverbank.
Shen Yue pushed vigorously against the big gate, and it easily opened, revealing a dark passage with no trace of water inside.
"Finally found it!" Shen Yue’s eyes shone like a wolf’s in the dark, holding the talisman which he suddenly crushed.
"Go!"
Meanwhile, the talisman in Herr Ningshuang’s hand also shattered. She nodded, lightly waving her jade hand to give orders. Her team had already packed up, and a group of people shot into the pool like a sword, charging into the lake one after another.
"Wow, wow~"
A group of people rushed into the pool, like boulders crashing into the water, immediately alerting the others. Hearing this, Lin Zixuan and Zhao Xiner quickly led their people out to see.
"Exit!"
Lin Zixuan and Zhao Xiner instantly realized and hurriedly urged their team members to gather. Unfortunately, many of their young misses were dawdling, and quite some time passed yet they still hadn’t arrived.
"Tell them, come over immediately or we’ll leave them behind!"
Lin Zixuan was very angry, with alluring eyes revealing coldness. As soon as his words spread, the young misses from Divine Heaven Country dared not to dawdle any longer and scrambled to come over.
"Go!"
Lin Zixuan led the way down into the pool, his team followed behind, then disappeared into the water, followed by Zhao Longer’s team, and then Tian Qianlian’s team pursued them.
