Section 135: Underground Quest (3)
Ye Kaihuai looked up speechlessly at the dam in front of him. It was really strange that he had not found the entrance switch. Could it be that the switch of this dam was built on the other side? It is unlikely. If this is the case, how can people come out? You must know that there is only one road here leading out. Well, there must be an entrance switch, but it has not been found yet. Please look for it again.
The idea was made, Ye Kaihuai started the second round of search more carefully than the first time, but what was disappointing was that he still did not find the entrance switch. Ye Kaihuai was looking for him and touched his chin, thinking that there was still no place to be found. Hughes, who was standing next to him, came over and persuaded, "Ye Kaihuai, it's getting late, so we might as well go back to the camp first and think about it, and then come again."
"Oh, how long have we been in the hole?" Ye Kaihuai turned his head and asked.
"It's been about seven hours, and the torch we brought can only hold on until we walk out of the hole."
"Oh, then as you said, let's go out to discuss countermeasures first, and come tomorrow." Ye Kaihuai, who knew the importance of torches in the dark cave, agreed with Hughes' proposal.
After checking for something left behind, everyone walked out of the cave along the original path. Ye Kaihuai, who was walking in the middle, subconsciously looked back at the dam standing there, wondering who built the dam?
With this doubt, Ye Kaihuai and others returned to the camp. When the four guards in charge of the guard saw that everyone was back, they quickly took out the prepared food for everyone who was almost hungry to eat.
"Ye Kaihuai, why don't you eat?" Ke Lin, who was drinking the soup, saw Ye Kaihuai sitting there with a piece of barbecue in a daze, put down the soup bowl and asked.
"Ah? Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just thinking about something." Ye Kaihuai, who woke up, replied.
"What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm just thinking about who was the river dam and when was it built?"
As soon as Ye Kaihuai said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and they sat there and began to think.
"Can it be that the lord of Fengyang City, a hundred years ago, was able to cultivate it, and when he was practicing, he made the entrance into it because of a mistake, and ended up blocking himself in it." Ke Lin thought for a while and said to Ye Kaihuai.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Fengyang City city a hundred years ago was mainly because it really saw this dam. It was impossible for him to build it." Ye Kaihuai expressed his affirmation of Ke Lin's rich imagination. Ke Lin, whose face was flushed by Ye Kaihuai's words, said in anger: "Then do you think, who built this dam when?"
"I just don't know what I thought?"
"Since you don't know the truth, why do you say that I'm talking nonsense?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing? The city lord of Fengyang City was too late to find water at that time. How could he find someone to block the water? Do you think that city lord is sick?"
"Not necessarily, what if the city lord built this dam because he was sick."
"Ye Kaihuai, sister, stop arguing, I have an idea." Marin, who was standing beside him, advised Ye Kaihuai and Kelin. When Marin, who was usually well-behaved and introverted and didn't speak much, had something to say, everyone stopped talking, stared at Marin and waited to listen to what Marin wanted to say.
Ma Lin, who was embarrassed by the crowd, quietly moved to his sister Ke Lin, hid behind Ke Lin, and then whispered to everyone: "When my sister and I were mercenary soldiers, I saw a mercenary mission in the Mercenary Guild, which seemed to be looking for remains of the ancient civilization. However, the mission was cancelled by the guild the next day. I heard that it was because the person who released the mission was a lunatic. However, I remember that the introduction in this mission was very consistent with what we saw."
"What?"
"The materials for building the dam are the same as those introduced in the mission. They cannot be destroyed with one blow with heavy weapons. They are as hard as stubborn stones."
"How did that guy who posted the mission end up doing?"
"I don't know, the world has evaporated."
"That's it. If I say that, I'll figure it out."
"Since you have figured it out Ye Kaihuai, let's talk to us."
"Okay, that's what I think. Just as Marin said, this is an ancient ruin. During the ancient civilization period, people built a dam here, but because of a sudden disaster, the ancient civilization disappeared and the ancient people were about to disappear. However, this dam was still working normally, but because of a long time of work, it was not maintained accordingly. One day a hundred years ago, the dam broke down and the gate was closed, so the underground river dried up and Fengyangcheng fell. Until we came here..."
"If it is really like what Ye Kaihuai said, we can solve the problem of water shortage in Fengyang Town by repairing the gate of this dam?"
"Things are not that simple. Where is the specific failure of this dam? How to repair the gate? Is there any danger inside? Where did the lord and his entourage from Fengyang City who came here a hundred years ago go? These are all problems waiting for us to solve. It is not so easy to solve the problem simply."
When Ye Kaihuai mentioned the Feng Yang City Lord and his entourage who disappeared a hundred years ago, everyone was silent. Yes, the problem that Feng Yang City Lord and his entourage who had not solved back then could be solved by the few people here? You should know that Feng Yang City Lord and his entourage who came here a hundred years ago were all possessed with unique skills, and their entourages were not lower than level eight. Feng Yang City Lord is even the Great Sword Saint, but it was not gone silently and without any news. The strength of his and others was so far from those missing. Can it work? Questions emerged in everyone's hearts, and the thought of retreating also emerged from their minds.
"What's wrong with everyone? Are you scared?" Ye Kaihuai added a piece of fire to the bonfire, which made the bonfire burn more vigorously, and asked everyone with a smile.
"Somewhat." Hughes said to Ye Kaihuai with a smile.
"It is normal to be afraid, it is normal for human nature, so don't feel embarrassed. It is because of fear that people will muster up the so-called courage to overcome the things they are afraid of and surpass themselves."
"Ye Kaihuai, aren't you afraid?" Ke Lin couldn't help asking strangely when she saw Ye Kaihuai's expression was normal.
"I will feel fear in my heart for unknown things, and I am no exception."
"But I look at you..."
"It seems like I don't take it seriously, right?" Ye Kaihuai said with a smile.
Seeing Collin nodding, Ye Kaihuai solemnly said to everyone: "Because I believe in my partner, I believe that when I encounter danger, my partner will stand up to protect me, so I feel at ease with this action."
After hearing Ye Kaihuai's words, everyone was still a little scared, but their faces were much better than before, and they were not as ugly as they were just now.
