Chapter 42 - Chapter 42 Stalkers in the Underground River

The rotten taste in his nose seemed to have been fermented for ten months, mixed with stinky tofu and rotten eggs.

The smell made people want to vomit.

"It seems that we have found the habitat of those mosquitoes."

He looked at the densely packed mosquitoes and the wiggling eggs like a bunch of white grapes.

Allen couldn't help feeling sick.

Kenan couldn't resist the urge to vomit.

"Wow!" He spat out all the roast meat and wine in his stomach, and his mouth was sour and bitter.

He didn't feel better until now.

"Buzz..."

Allen looked around and suddenly heard a dense buzz like a roaring engine.

Then, the mosquitoes seemed to have smelled the scent of the two people. They left the inner wall of the cave and were attracted by the two people.

Kenan's pupils shrank and he took two steps back subconsciously.

These damn things came again!

Allen's right index finger moved, and a fire suddenly appeared. He grabbed another piece of deadwood.

He lit the deadwood and handed it to Kenan.

These mosquitoes were afraid of fire. Allen had found it before.

Under the deterrence of the torches, the mosquitoes all dodged to a safe position and did not move forward anymore.

Kenan held the torch in his hand and said.

"Why don't we just burn this place to ashes? Anyway, there is an underground river beneath our feet. I don't think it will burn to the ground."

As Kenan waved the torch in his hand, a crackling sound was heard.

Since the space in the cave was not large, the torch could easily kill many mosquitoes.

Allen pursed his lips and shook his head, seeming to be thinking about something.

"No, we can't burn it directly. If there is spiritual grass nearby, it will also be burned if the fire goes on."

Spiritual herbs were extremely fragile.

Let alone there were so many mosquitoes here. If a fire was really set on, those mosquitoes would be an excellent trigger.

They would definitely pull one hair and move the whole body. At that time, once the flames burned, they would quickly spread.

If there were spiritual herbs, they would be burned to ashes.

Kenan nodded in agreement.

He looked at the deep and dark passage in the distance and found that there might really be spiritual herbs.

He couldn't take the risk.

If the spiritual herbs were really damaged by that time, the loss would not be worth it.

Allen breathed a sigh of relief and gradually adapted to the unpleasant smell.

"Uncle Kenan, let's go deeper. I have a hunch."

Allen said softly as he walked forward in the black water.

"Okay."

Kenan followed Allen with a torch in his hand, but he didn't relax at all.

Because the unknown was the most terrible thing.

While walking, Kenan waved the torches to drive away from the mosquitoes who wanted to treat themselves as "delicious dessert".

He began to walk more carefully.

After all, he had a deep understanding of this kind of mosquito that day.

This kind of thing had a strong group. Once one of them broke through his or her direction, other mosquitoes would swarm over.

At that time, he would be like the miserable roast chicken that day, leaving only the ghastly white bone.

"Uncle Kenan, follow me."

Allen, who was walking in front of them, turned around and found uncle Kenan who was in a daze behind him. His words pulled Kenan's thoughts back.

"Here you are." Kenan came back to his senses and hurried to follow them. Thinking of what had happened just now, he couldn't help shivering.

He almost got goosebumps.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a huge black shadow shuttled through the two of them, and the splashing water scattered in all directions.

"Damn it!" Kenan's eyes widened and he froze in place. After a moment of panic, he swallowed subconsciously and even began to breathe nervously.

Allen heard Uncle Kenan behind him and turned around in a hurry. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something passed by us just now." It took Kenan a long time to calm down, but his heart was still fluttering with fear.

"What is that?!"

Just then, a black figure flashed past Kenan like a lightning.

Allen frowned, unable to see what it was.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak

A slight sound mixed with the sound of the fast-flowing water reached the ears of the two.

Turning around, the two men's hearts tightened in an instant!

A mouse with black hair was looking for something with its long nose.

And this mouse was even bigger than an ordinary dog!

What the hell was this?

Was it a mutated species?

The two of them were shocked at the same time.

'It's just a mouse!' Kenan cursed inwardly and kicked it hard.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The sudden pain frightened the mouse in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.

The episode was over, and the two of them continued to explore forward.

The deeper they went into the cave, the lower the temperature was, and the air seemed to be thinner.

The flames on the torch began to flicker and flicker because of the lack of oxygen, seeming to be extinguished.

After walking less than twenty meters, they suddenly saw the light in front of them!

A huge round-arched cave suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and this was the end of the tunnel.

Under their feet, the black water gathered here and formed a huge pool.

Through the light of the torches, one could clearly see the whole place.

"That's... A spiritual herb!"

He looked around and saw a little spiritual herb quietly floating in the middle of the pool. Little green lights were emitted from the leaves of the spiritual herb, glittering and translucent.

There were no mosquitoes around the spiritual herb.

"There are indeed spiritual herbs!" Kenan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Allen took a few steps towards the center of the pool and frowned.

The closer the pool was to the middle, the deeper it would be.

When they reached the center, the depth would probably be extremely terrifying.

Allen stopped and sighed, "It seems that we have to find a way to get that spiritual herb."

"Can we swim over there?"

Obviously, Kenan had seen Allen's body in the water and guessed that the water was getting deeper and deeper.

"I'm afraid not. The black water is very strange. There is no buoyancy at all."

Allen shook his head and denied Kenan's idea.

Almost half of his body had sunk into the water, but he didn't feel any water-lifting power.

It could be seen that the black pond here had no floating power at all!

"I'll try ice magic."

Allen retreated to the side of Kenan, and then he stretched out his right index finger. A blue light appeared on his finger in an instant, and the surrounding temperature also dropped at this moment.

Allen pointed at the pond with his right hand.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The sound of ice gathering could be heard clearly.

The two men's eyes were excited. They looked at the gradually formed ice and expected it in their hearts.

"Well..."

However, the two of them turned their eyes away.

The ice only formed ten centimeters and stopped.

Then, under the gazes of the two, the little ice surface slowly drifted away...

Looking at Kenan's bitter face, Allen rubbed his eyes and said, "It seems that we have to find another way."

"The water in the pond is so strange as if it can dissolve the power in your body."

Kenan murmured to himself. The more he thought about it, the more magical he felt.

There was even a hint of disbelief.

Allen crossed his arms and bit his lips. He narrowed his eyes and kept thinking.

"If we don't get close to the water, can we get the spiritual herbs?"

Allen turned to Kenan and suddenly realized something.

Kenan smiled with excitement, "I think so. You can have a try!"

"What sound?"

Just then, the sound of trampling on the water was captured by Allen's sensitive ears. He frowned and lowered his voice.
