The channel in the karst cave was very narrow, with a width of only about three meters. It could only allow two small boats to move forward slowly, one at the front and one at the back.
After a few hundred meters, there was no natural light source in the karst cave. Everyone was in complete darkness and could only rely on the torches in their hands for illumination.
However, the surrounding darkness seemed to be able to devour the light. The torches in their hands could only illuminate a few meters before they could no longer see anything further.
Tang Xianghui heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, this cave only has such a narrow channel. If it was a large lake, I'm afraid it would take us a long time just to find it."
Tangyuan raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the cave. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not see anything in the darkness. "This place feels a little strange. Why can't the light shine through?"
"Maybe it's because it's too deep. The ceiling of this cave is probably very high. That's why we can't see and the light can't reach far."
Liu Changding interrupted, "This type of karst cave is usually formed by the dissolution of underground water over a long period of time. Because the composition of the rock walls is different, the shape of the dissolution and division will also be different." As he said that, he pointed at the stalactites on both sides of the walls.
Then he continued, "However, the ceiling above us is probably not only caused by the dissolution of water, but also by the movement of the mountain."
When the members of the Shadow Corps heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully. Then they started to chat with each other.
In the darkness, the members of the Shadow Corps had no choice but to talk to each other in order to stay relaxed and reduce the pressure. It was as if they would be completely swallowed by the darkness if they stopped talking.
However, regardless of whether it was Qing Yueqiu or Zuo Zhicheng, neither of them joined in their conversation. They knew that Qing Yueqiu was innately cold towards them. However, in their eyes, Zuo Zhicheng, also known as Gui Quan, had a different image.
'He's just like a man made of iron. ' Thinking of the other party's actions and results, Tang Yuan secretly glanced at Zuo Zhicheng, who was sitting at the front of the boat. "Extreme willpower, execution, hiding ability, and action. I really don't know where he came from."
Suddenly, Ah Wei rubbed his eyes and asked Liu Changding in confusion, "Mr. Liu, did you see anything?"
Liu Changding looked in the direction of Ah Wei's finger, but there was nothing but darkness.
"Ah Wei, don't scare me. There's nothing."
Ah Wei frowned. "But I think I saw a woman in green just now."
"Who are you trying to scare?" Tang Xianghui was shocked. "Don't talk nonsense in this kind of place. So many of us didn't see it, but you saw it?"
They looked around, but there was no woman in green. They all blamed Ah Wei for talking nonsense.
Zuo Zhicheng, on the other hand, turned around and looked at Qing Yueqiu in surprise. He heard Qing Yueqiu's breathing become heavier. He turned around and saw through the infrared vision that her chest was heating up. It seemed like her heart was beating faster too.
Under the mask, Zuo Zhicheng's lips curled up. He didn't expect this woman, who always had a cold expression, to be afraid of ghosts.
Ah Wei's blurred vision was just a small matter. After a few minutes, everyone forgot about it. Zuo Zhicheng and the rest continued to row the boat, moving forward along the dark river.
However, the river in the karst cave was like an endless tunnel that led to hell. After half an hour, although they knew that they were moving forward, they still felt that the scenery around them hadn't changed.
Zuo Zhicheng thought about the information in the information and asked Qing Yueqiu and the rest behind him, "How many times did you come in? Did you also go this far?"
Tang Xianghui explained, "Yes, this river is very long. After about one-third of the way, there will be a stone platform. The first two teams entered from there. Originally, we also had a camp there, but since the first two groups went missing, we had to withdraw from the camp. "
Seeing that Zuo Zhicheng was silent, Tang Xianghui asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Gui Quan raised his head and looked at the surrounding stone walls and the ceiling of the karst cave. He turned his head and looked around. No one knew what he was looking for. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the water.
Seeing him like this, the group became nervous. Tangyuan asked, "Mr. Gui Quan, what happened?"
Zuo Zhicheng's voice was cold. He looked back at the people in front of him, then looked past them and directly looked at the stern of the boat.
"When we entered the cave, there were two boats."
"Ah Wei and Liu Changding, where are their boats now?"
Shocking!
In an instant, everyone looked at the stern of the boat, but there was no trace of the other boat except for the empty lake.
Tang Xianghui looked back in surprise, "How is it possible? How did they disappear? "
Tangyuan also stood up, "Where are they? We need to find them. "
The dark cave, the bottomless lake, and the sudden disappearance of their companions made everyone a little confused.
"Quiet." With Zuo Zhicheng's body as the center, the violent murderous aura mixed with the coldness of an iceberg radiated in all directions. The people of the Shadow Corps only felt a light in their hearts. They unconsciously listened to Zuo Zhicheng's words and stopped arguing.
Of course, this was not the real Kungfu. It was just Zuo Zhicheng using his murderous aura and the power of Qi Nurturing, as well as his own strength to achieve prestige.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, but their faces were still full of disbelief and panic, Zuo Zhicheng said coldly, "Don't make a fuss. Also, don't think about any messy things.
It's just a boat that disappeared. I've encountered more bizarre and unbelievable things than this.
No matter what happened, there must be a reason.
Anyway, I need to check the surroundings first. "
The darkness in the cave was like a thick black fog, shrouding everything in darkness. With the help of the torches, everyone tried their best to see behind them. In the darkness, they seemed to see the shadow of a boat behind them.
Tang Xianghui sighed, "They should be behind us. This cave is too dark, so we didn't see them before."
"No," Tangyuan said nervously, "why didn't they light the torches?"
"Ah Wei, are you there?" Someone shouted into the darkness behind them.
"Why didn't you light the torches? Say something! " There was no sound from the shadow of the boat behind them. The entire river seemed to have fallen into a dead silence. Only the sound of flowing water slowly entered everyone's ears.
It was as if something in the darkness had swallowed Ah Wei and the others.
"There's a problem," Zuo Zhicheng stretched out his hand and said to Tang Xianghui, "give me the torch."
At this moment, Zuo Zhicheng seemed to have a persuasive power. Tang Xianghui couldn't help but hand a torch to him.
After taking the torch, Zuo Zhicheng took out a small jar from his pocket. In the jar was the magnesium powder he extracted from the bitter soil in the lime, which was also known as magnesium oxide. This magnesium powder would release a dazzling light when burned. It was one of the main components of modern military flares.
Zuo Zhicheng didn't know if the Dazzling Gold was similar to this, but he knew that this simple flare made from magnesium powder was enough to let him see the situation in front of him clearly.
Since Zuo Zhicheng's infrared vision didn't detect anything unusual, he needed to use light.
"Be careful, it's very dazzling." After saying that, everyone saw Zuo Zhicheng's hand flash.
The next moment, with a boom, the flare flew towards the top of everyone's heads, leaving a clear path of light behind it. In just a short moment, the originally pitch-black ceiling became bright as if it was daytime, completely appearing in front of everyone's eyes.
