This was a one-meter-long cave. If not for the undercurrent surging out, Lin Yan wouldn’t have discovered it at all.
The dark water and the deep cave placed together made Lin Yan instinctively panic, as if it was the entrance to hell.
Dispelling the instinct in his heart, Lin Yan opened his palm and lit up a ball of Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame. As a light source, he crawled into the cave.
The cave entrance was not small, enough for a person to pass through. The walls of the cave had long become extremely smooth after being washed back and forth by the undercurrent.
Furthermore, the cave wall should be vertical, like a deep well at the bottom of the lake, leading to an unknown deeper abyss.
However, as Lin Yan swam deeper, the interior of the cave shrank and became narrower.
After descending less than 20 to 30 meters, it was so narrow that no one could pass.
Lin Yan tried to use the Savage Flame weapon to slash at the rock wall. Although it was like digging out tofu, this cave was straight down!
There was no way to deal with the rocks that had fallen. If he was not careful, the rock would fall down and block the underground cave!
After all, it was impossible for rocks to disappear into thin air.
Therefore, the method of digging down was impossible.
Helpless, Lin Yan could only retreat from the cave.
“There’s an undercurrent flowing out of the cave, which means that there must be a space or an exit at the other end of the cave…”
Lin Yan’s heart sank slightly. He was certain that the underground cave could lead to the Dragon Absorbing Water or the outside world.
However, if the cave was so narrow that no one could pass, what should he do?
However, on second thought, he had seen the Platypus Salamander at the Dragon Absorbing Water Pond.
Since the Platypus Salamander could pass, there was no reason for him to not pass, right?
“Therefore, either there’s another entrance inside the cave, or there are more entrances under the lake!”
After sneaking out of the cave, Lin Yan swam out a short distance and suddenly realized that a jade pillar in front of him was faintly discernible.
“No wonder I encountered so many Poison-Toothed Trouts just now. So there’s a jade pillar here…”
However, when he thought of this, Lin Yan’s heart trembled. He looked down at the jade pillar and saw that it was deeply embedded in the rock at the bottom of the lake, closely connected to the rock.
Looking up again, this jade pillar rose from the bottom of the water and kept going up. It was like a stabilizing pillar that extended to the surface of the lake.
“This jade pillar is embedded at the bottom of the lake and extends to the surface. If it wants to remain stable, it has to be at least two to three hundred meters long!
“These jade pillars of this length are living creatures and there are hundreds of them. They can even grow Black Grade Unusual Items.
“Who did this? Was it the Ancient Fan Nation?”
After observing the jade pillars a few times, he could not see anything else.
He could only swim out again and search for the next cave that might exist.
Lin Yan originally thought that it would be very difficult to find the cave, but he didn’t expect to feel the undercurrent in the water again after swimming for a short distance.
“No way. Am I too lucky, or… are there many undercurrent caves under the water?”
He swam along the undercurrent again.
Suddenly, another dense group of Poison-Toothed Trouts pounced out from the dark water and drowned Lin Yan.
“Again!”
Lin Yan was helpless. He could only activate the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame again and kill a large number of them. There were even too many of them. The Essence Energy he absorbed could not be stored and could only be wasted.
However, this time, no Platypus Salamander came to harass them.
“The Poison-Toothed Trouts are entrenched beside the jade pillar and feed on the secretion of the jade pillar. Therefore, there’s another jade pillar nearby?”
After a simple search, Lin Yan saw a jade pillar that reached into the sky again.
As for the undercurrent cave, Lin Yan sensed that it was also near the jade pillar!
“The last undercurrent cave was near this jade pillar. This undercurrent cave is actually also near this jade pillar?
“Is it a coincidence, or… is there a similar cave under each jade pillar?!”
Lin Yan swayed his body like a fish and quickly drilled into the cave near the jade pillar.
Sneaking in, the cave this time was different from the last one. The size of the cave entrance was similar, but while the walls of the cave were smooth, there were some residual traces. It was as if there were some metal objects that had long rusted and mottled on the walls of the cave. It was impossible to see their use, but it was obvious that they were not naturally formed.
“Could it be that this cave wall was artificially dug out?”
Lin Yan was filled with hope as he quickly dived into the cave.
However, after diving for less than 20 to 30 meters, he encountered the problem of the hole narrowing again. He could not pass through at all.
After trying a few more times, there was no effect. Helpless, Lin Yan could only leave the cave again.
“The cave wall is too narrow and there are artificial traces. Moreover, it’s the same for the two cave entrances in a row. Could it be that someone specially made it like this to prevent people from passing through?”
Lin Yan had a bad feeling. If that was the case, even if there was a cave beside every jade pillar, it was very likely that no one could pass through each cave!
Even if some of them were passable, he would have to go through countless searches and tests before he could find them.
However, the invasion of the Chaotic Fog was imminent and he did not have much time left!
