Chapter 1018: Entering the cave (2)
“It’s so cold,”
The temperature inside the mountain was even colder than when they were in the Black River. The chill went through the pores of the body, as if it wanted to drill into the limbs and bones. It was so cold that it reached the heart and froze the blood.
He felt that the hand he used to hold the syrup with was not listening to him anymore. It was so cold that his bones were aching.
As soon as he said that, the voice passed through the low cliff and reverberated in the long river.
“Cold … Cold … So cold …”
When one heard it, they couldn’t help but feel a creepy feeling.
The young man who spoke was also scared. He had heard the rumors about the nine Dragon cave since he was a child, and he was already afraid of this place. When he heard the resentful shout of ‘cold’, his whole body trembled.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a woman on the ship and he was afraid of uncle Xiang, the young man would have screamed the moment he heard the Echo.
However, although he forcefully suppressed his fear, he didn’t dare to make any more noise. He even restrained his movements as much as possible in an attempt to not make a loud noise.
However, few people came to the black water River, so it was very quiet. At this time, the nine Dragon cave was even quieter than before. The narrow River was like a natural loudspeaker, amplifying the slightest sound by dozens of times.
Even if someone lifted their elbow and rubbed it against their clothes, the rustling sound would be clearly transmitted into everyone’s ears.
The two sides of the mountain wall were not completely closed together, but the further one went in, the tighter it became.
Time passed through the narrow mountain wall, so the river was not so dark that one could not see their own fingers. After a long time, their eyes had gotten used to the brightness, and they could still vaguely see things.
This section of the stone wall was low, and the water level in the river had already risen to the middle. If a person stood, their head would probably hit the top of the wall, so they could only sit cross-legged in the cabin.
The river wall was densely packed with water droplets, and through the refraction of the light, they looked like small insects.
The water droplets gathered into a big drop and fell into the water, making a splash.
Other than song qingxiao and uncle Xiang, the other three young men didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. They only waved their arms carefully.
Under such circumstances, the few of them did not dare to say that they were tired. They could only shake the oars as much as they could in an attempt to get out of this overly oppressive environment and quickly reach the legendary Yu Lun immortal realm to meet the people living inside.
For a moment, other than the sound of the water flowing down and the sound of the boat going against the current, there was only the sound of their breathing when they could not hold it in.
The boat occasionally hit the protruding reef and made a loud ‘bang’, which frightened the young people.
After walking like this for a long time, there seemed to be no end in sight. The young man who had been chatting with song qingxiao earlier suppressed his fear and looked back at the road they had come from.
The boat had been in the nine Dragon cave for a long time. The mountain walls were getting closer and closer, the river was narrower than before, and the light on both sides of the mountain was dimmer than before. They didn’t know how long they had been walking, or whether it was day or night.
“Uncle Xiang …”
A young man who had been gritting his teeth for a long time finally couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke first, “”We really can’t hold on any longer,”
As he spoke, his teeth trembled, making a ‘GE GE’ sound.
“Can I rest for a while?”
A strange silence responded to the young man. The person sitting at the bow could no longer be seen clearly. He could only vaguely see a shadow, like a machine paddling the oars, one beat after another, as if it did not know fatigue.
After a long time, when the young man thought that uncle Xiang would ignore his words, the paddling man finally stopped.
His original movements were the most rhythmic, and once he stopped, it was very obvious.
As soon as the sound of splashing water stopped, the boat’s speed slowed down and was pushed back by the washing water. With a ‘Dong’ sound, it hit a large reef. The boat was stuck and kept shaking.
The resources on top of it moved slightly, making a ‘magnetic’ sound. After being magnified by the natural geographical environment of the river, the few of them could even hear blood gurgling out of the sackcloth bag.
“Young man, you’re really useless.” Uncle Xiang said slowly. After he finished, he added,
“Let’s rest for a while, we still have a long way to go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few young men who originally wanted to ask how far the Yu Lun void realm was were immediately disappointed and let out suppressed wails one after another.
“Is the road still very far?” In the dark, song Qing’s cold voice rang out.
Her voice sounded like pearls and Jade falling on a plate in the dark. It was clear and crisp, like a cool breeze blowing slowly. Suddenly, the young men’s tense heartstrings relaxed a little.
Uncle Xiang turned his head around. His single eye, in the darkness, was unscrupulously sizing up the young girl sitting cross-legged in the cabin.
Ever since they entered the nine Dragon cave, she had not made a sound. However, when the men were so cold that their teeth were chattering, her expression was calm, as if she was not affected by the yin Qi. She was still the same as when she was on the Black River, unafraid of the environment and not feeling the cold, which was a bit strange.
He frowned, but before he could say anything, he felt song qingxiao’s gaze in the darkness. The moment he looked over, she accurately caught his eyes.
Uncle Xiang was shocked. He even vaguely felt that song qingxiao’s eyes made his heart palpitate more than before. She seemed to be able to see in the dark and see his every move.
“Far away.” Uncle Xiang suppressed the fear in his heart and swallowed his saliva. Under this invisible pressure, he instinctively turned his head away.
“It’s still far away.”
“Can we rest for a while, uncle Xiang?” The young man called pinluo, who had been chatting with song qingxiao, finally couldn’t help but speak up timidly.
take a break, take a break. It’s still early. There’s more to come.
