Chapter 238: Bizarre Voice (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before he turned around and continued searching!

No matter what, he could not give up. The fact that the Platypus Salamander appeared in the Dragon Absorbing Water Pond meant that there was definitely a passageway to the outside world in this underground cave that was enough for one person to pass through!

He swam to the next place. The same Poison-Toothed Trouts attacked, the same towering jade pillar, and the same straight cave!

Lin Yan finally confirmed that this was not a coincidence. It was indeed man-made!

Although the reason was unknown, it was enough to make Lin Yan excited and heavy-hearted.

The excitement was that his goal in coming here was to find the ruins of Ancient Fan Nation. Now that he had finally found traces of human activity and such a complicated and huge project, it was definitely related to Ancient Fan Nation.

However, he was further certain that this cave was also big on the top and small at the bottom. It was impossible to pass through normally!

He had visited three places. They were all the same caves. They were the same size and were also impassable.

Lin Yan even tried to forcefully dig down and embedded the rocks he dug into the cave wall, trying his best to dig a path that could be passed through.

However, the rock would not disappear into thin air. While digging out a space, it also meant that another space was blocked.

This made Lin Yan think of a science fiction novel he had read in his previous life, “Mountain”.

It described a civilization sealed in the underground world that wanted to dig out the ground and enter the outside world.

However, every time they dug out a space, it meant that a portion of the original living space would be occupied by the rocks dug out. Only by sacrificing the living space at all costs could they finally break through the seal of the rock layer and come to the vast space outside.

However, before digging out the rocks, without knowing the thickness of the rock stratum, who knew how long it would take? Or could it be dug through?

This was the predicament Lin Yan was facing.

If he had to dig down, he could do it too.

But who knew how far he would have to dig?

Dozens of meters? A hundred meters?

Or even a thousand meters?

Perhaps in the end, he would be stuck halfway and would not be able to dig out a path that could accommodate him.

“Sigh, if 1 can become smaller, 1 can easily dive into the water…

“Wait, smaller?!”

Lin Yan’s body trembled as he floated in the water and suddenly slapped his head.

“How stupid! I almost forgot that I still have clones. I can completely send a clone to explore the depths!”

The threat of the Chaotic Fog was so close that he unknowingly lost his composure.

Of course, his clones did not know the Mixed Water Technique yet. He needed to train them to learn it first.

Lin Yan did not get out of the water. In the water, he chose a portion of the original Savage Flame clones and trained them to master the Mixed Water Technique.

Then, he dug out a small piece of rock the size of a finger from the rock wall at the bottom of the lake and let the clones lie on one each. Then, he returned to a cave he had just been in and threw ten clones into it, causing them to sink along the cave.

The clones were small and weak. If they really swam down, it would take a lot of effort. He would directly tie a rock to make it easier for them to sink quickly.

“I hope that the bottom of this cave is not very deep. Otherwise, the water pressure is too great. I’m afraid they won’t be able to last long with the power weakened countless times…”

Lin Yan counted silently as he sensed. The clones that were lying on the rock fell very quickly and kept sinking. The deeper they went, the greater the pressure he felt.

In just three counts, Lin Yan sensed that the pressure his clones were under was almost at their limit. They had to circulate their strength to barely block it.

He counted five more times.

“Hmm? The clones have stopped descending. Are they at the end?”

However, in Lin Yan’s perception, the clones didn’t seem to have landed on solid ground. They were still submerged in the water, but they had indeed stopped.

“Pfft!”

In the next moment, the clones could not withstand the pressure and were crushed by the water.

However, Lin Yan didn’t let all ten clones sink to the bottom. Instead, he let one clone swim to the rock wall at every count and grab it.

Although the clones that were too deep were quickly crushed, a few of the clones above temporarily survived and barely helped Lin Yan detect part of the cave’s structure.

“The long section below is very narrow. There’s no room…”

It was so narrow that it would take a lot of effort to dig through.

Lin Yan could only change another cave and try all the caves according to what he did.

Lin Yan realized that in about eight seconds, the clones would reach the bottom of every cave.

The bottom was not a solid ground. It was still liquid, but they could not sink.

Lin Yan’s physics was not bad in his previous life. In eight seconds, if the density of the stone was twice that of water, the decrease in acceleration would become half of the gravity acceleration. Then, multiplied by half and by the square of time, he would be able to calculate the distance of the descent, which was about 150 meters.

Every underground well was about 150 meters deep. It was possible that the bottom of these caves was connected.

Unfortunately, the caves he found were too narrow. It was easy to block them when they were dug up and it was not easy to sneak in.

“The good news is that 150 meters is still acceptable. As long as 1 find a suitable cave, I can still dig down.

“The bad news is that I still have to search the caves one by one!”

However, using the clones for exploration was much more efficient than before.

There were at most a few hundred jade pillars below. Perhaps there was a similar cave near each jade pillar.

He planned to throw a few clones into each cave to take a look. There would always be one that had a suitable path.

With this plan in mind, he immediately increased his speed and swam to the next jade pillar.

After reaching a few jade pillars, there was indeed a cave under each jade pillar.

Except…

“This group of Poison-Toothed Trouts is too annoying. Aren’t they afraid of death at all?”

Every time he approached a jade pillar, a large group of Poison-Toothed Trouts would surge over. There were huge numbers. Although they were not a threat to him, it was extremely troublesome to kill them. It would take a lot of effort.

If he killed so many Poison-Toothed Trouts every time he passed by a jade pillar, who knew when he would be able to finish these hundreds of jade pillars.

Lin Yan actually didn’t want to kill so many Poison-Toothed Trouts. They were the natural enemies of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. Killing too many was equivalent to increasing the number of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches. It was probably troublesome to deal with them.

However, if he did not kill them, using the Jade Pagoda’s defense would consume a lot of strength, and it would not be worth it.

Just like that, a few jade pillars were explored, making Lin Yan even more frustrated.

Suddenly, the water around Lin Yan rippled as if there was a faint vibration. It followed the deep lake water and swept past his body.

Then, it was the second and third time…

It was as if something was vibrating somewhere at the bottom of the lake, transmitting layers of shallow ripples that kept spreading out.

The strange thing was that when the water ripples passed, the large group of Poison-Toothed Trouts that were charging at Lin Yan suddenly seemed to have lost their sense of direction. They hurriedly swam around and collided with each other.

The ripples seemed to be driving these Poison-Toothed Trouts away. Moreover, it was not just this place. It was as if the entire Poison-Toothed Trouts in the lake were affected.

Lin Yan turned to the end of the ripples with a solemn expression. Could this be the mysterious power that he had guessed to balance the ecosystem of the Underworld?

However, in the next moment, Lin Yan’s heart suddenly constricted, and his scalp instantly turned bone-chilling.

An old, decaying, low, and strange voice suddenly sounded softly in his ears.

“Come, come, come…”
