Chapter 1008: Learned_1
A gust of cold wind blew over. The wind was not strong, but when it hit people, it brought a bone-piercing cold feeling. It made the man who was wiping the water droplets on his body shiver. His breath became weaker. He could not help but wrap his arms around himself and sit down with a ‘whoosh’, using the bowstring of the cabin to block the wind.
Song qingxiao also felt a chill on her back, but the yin Qi in the water was washed away by her spiritual power before it could enter her body. In addition, she was a cultivator and her spiritual power was of the ice element, so the chill did not affect her at all.
However, there was something wrong with this place.
The five trial-takers were separated, and she sneaked onto a ship headed for the nine Dragon cave to visit the so-called sacrificial ceremony.
She looked out from the corner of her eye and saw that the boat was sailing on a slender River. On both sides of the river were towering Green Mountains, which surrounded the long river in the middle. The reflections on both sides covered all the sunlight above, making the sky dark as if it was almost night.
The shadow of the mountain was reflected in the water, causing the color of the river to appear dark, giving off an eerie feeling.
Because they had not seen the sun for a long time, the yin energy here was extremely heavy and the temperature was also quite low. Several young men without any spiritual power were slightly unable to bear it.
“Sacrificial ceremony?” Song qingxiao looked at the young man who was trembling with his arms crossed and asked, “”What’s that?”
When the young man, whose face was pale from the cold, heard this, his hands that were rubbing his arms suddenly stopped. He was in disbelief.
“Don’t you already know?”
“I’m not too sure.” She replied, and the young man’s expression became even more surprised.
“If you don’t know, then why are you here?” He sneaked a glance at the inner cabin of the ship and said in a low voice, “”I even spent a lot of money on it.”
“I just heard about it from someone and was curious, so I came to take a look.”
“Curious?” The young man looked at her as if he was looking at a lunatic. The corner of his mouth twitched.”It’s very dangerous.”
“Tell me how dangerous it was.” Hearing this, song qingxiao knew that he should have a general understanding of the nine Dragon cave that they were going to. She immediately sat down in front of him with her legs crossed.
From the fact that this person was willing to remind her and even reached out to pull her at the critical moment, it proved that he wasn’t a bad person. After knowing that she didn’t know anything about the place she was going, he should be willing to tell her.
When the young man heard her question, he revealed some hesitation.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the one-eyed old man. He seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end, he seemed to have figured out something. He gritted his teeth and said,
“This place is called the black water River, and it’s the only way to the nine Dragon cave.”
The so-called nine Dragon cave was actually an underground river at the bottom of the mountain range.
The locals didn’t know where the river came from, but legend had it that it came from the sky and flowed into the nine Dragon cave.
The nine Dragon cave was located within the mountain range. There were many submerged reefs, rapid water currents, and complicated terrain. Ordinary people did not dare to enter it easily.
when the tourism industry was being developed, the local people in charge wanted to use the advantage of the legend as a development project to make this place a major local tourist attraction. Unfortunately, this place is very strange …
The young man couldn’t help but look in the direction where the one-eyed old man had appeared. He lowered his voice even more,
“Once the ship enters the nine Dragon cave, it can’t move anymore.”
No matter whether it was new or old, once they entered the nine Dragon cave, the engine would stop working, and they would have to row manually.
However, the terrain inside was complex, like nine long Dragons coiling around each other. If one was not an experienced boatman, they would not be able to leave this place.
There were many scary legends circulating here. When they tried to develop the tourism industry, the local people tried to dissuade them. Unfortunately, the person in charge of the project did not believe in heresy, so he forcibly organized a group of people to enter.
But as soon as the ship arrived, the fire was extinguished before it could even enter the nine Dragon cave.
When the local guide saw this scene, he felt that something was wrong. There were many legends about the nine Dragon cave here, and the local people had been warned by their elders not to enter it easily.
No matter how the person in charge threatened or bribed him, he refused to take another step in.
The person in charge of the tourism development project didn’t believe in ghosts and gods. He thought it was all nonsense.
Rumors about the nine Dragon cave had been circulating in the area for hundreds of years. If this road could be opened up, coupled with the local rumors, it could be imagined that once this place was developed, there would be more people coming to explore and visit.
