Chapter 349: Chapter 345: Underground River
“You can go find him, I need to continue on my journey, heading to the Eastern Sea first.” The Toad Elder said, yawning, and a thick poisonous gas immediately spurted from his mouth.
“You go first, by the time I kill them and catch up, it will be just in time.” Junzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards the sky.
As he finished speaking, his arms spread, and blade-like golden wings immediately grew from his body. He fluttered his wings and took off immediately, turning into a golden light that flew into the sky.
The Toad Elder once again held his hands together and sat quietly on the toad, heading far to the East.
Hundreds of feet away from here, in a narrow valley, a ragged team of the Human Race was carefully moving forward, sticking close to the mountain wall. Each of them was tense, and not a single sound was heard.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man in a white robe. His temples were slightly frosted, wrinkles appeared around his eyes, and he had a rather handsome appearance. It was Bai Xiaoyun.
In his hand was a palm-sized Mini Scripture Banner, embroidered with Buddhist scriptures in gold thread. A faint golden ripple rolled out from it from time to time, spreading over an area of several tens of feet.
Following closely, was Shen Luo.
“Thanks to this Invisibility Banner, we were able to avoid the pursuit of the Golden Falcon Monster.” He still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the situation over the past two days.
Although they had encountered many tribulations along the way and had lost many people, he had never encountered a situation where they were targeted by two Great-Consummation Stage Monsters at the same time, like two days ago.
If Bai Xiaoyun hadn’t discovered the situation in time and voluntarily lured the Golden Falcon Monster away, they would have been wiped out by now.
“According to Bai Bi, after I left, another monster found its way here?” Bai Xiaoyun didn’t look back as he asked.
“It was a group of poisonous toads. It seemed like there was a big monster backed behind them. I used the Divine Armor Horse Talisman to lead them around in circles, and I was only able to get away after I used an Escape Technique when I was far enough away.” Shen Luo shook his head and answered.
“Once we leave this canyon, we won’t be far from Zhenhaiguan. You take everyone and stay in the valley for now, I will go and check it out first.” Bai Xiaoyun raised a hand to signal for everyone to rest in place after he stopped.
“Your injury…” Shen Luo furrowed his brows slightly, hesitating.
He was aware that Bai Xiaoyun hadn’t fully recovered since the battle at Jianmen Pass.
“It’s no longer a major issue now, don’t worry. I’m just going to see if it has fallen, I won’t get too close.” Bai Xiaoyun turned to look at Shen Luo and said.
With that, he handed over the Invisibility Banner in his hands.
Shen Luo had long since learned how to use this treasure, he took it and continued to activate it.
After Bai Xiaoyun left, Shen Luo took out a Hydro-vein Kanyu Map Book, which he had managed to find in a Yu State City, and began to study it carefully.
Yu State, located close to the East Sea Pinnacle, had many rivers on the surface. Just the Qingliu River alone split into three water systems, flowing through the state and eventually converging in the East Sea from three different parts.
Apart from the surface water system, there were also many underground rivers in Yu State. Some stretched from north to south through Zhenhaiguan. If you could find one of these, you could pass through Zhenhaiguan underground.
If Zhenhaiguan had fallen, finding such an underground river was crucial.
During this period of time, Shen Luo had flipped through the map book many times. However, the ones recorded in the book were only the distribution of the water veins on the surface in Yu State.Tthere were both the old and current ones, but it did not record the distribution of the underground rivers.
Shen Luo could only infer the situation underground based on the changes in the water systems over the years.
“Huh, this canyon was actually a river branch in the past, no wonder I noticed signs of water erosion on the rocky walls when we arrived.” Shen Luo, comparing the location where he was, suddenly made a new discovery.
However, this did not aid his search for the underground river. Thus, Shen Luo was only slightly surprised and didn’t really care.
At that moment, the Invisibility Banner in his hand vibrated slightly, causing a ripple of golden light to spread out.
Shen Luo quickly put away the Hydro-vein Kanyu Map Book and looked up at the sky.
The slit of sky visible from the canyon looked blurred and grey, with nothing discernable.
Shen Luo scrutinized it for a while. Just as his eyes began to sting and he was about to shift his gaze, a shadow suddenly swept across the sky, disappearing in a flash.
In that short instant, Shen Luo clearly saw that the shadow was the Golden Falcon Monster that had previously hunted them.
“An enduring pest. I just hope that Bai Xiaoyun doesn’t run into it…” Shen Luo grew slightly apprehensive.
The moment these thoughts entered his mind, his expression changed drastically.
A shadow loomed over him and the sound of howling wind rang out, one after the other.
Shen Luo looked up and saw a huge golden eagle, cloaked in golden feathers fluttering its wings, hovering over the canyon. Its dark golden eyes stared fixedly at people below.
“Tricky little fellows, finally found you!” Junzhi sneered, speaking up.
“Retreat quickly.” A wave of apprehension swept through Shen Luo and he immediately commanded everyone to retreat.
The people behind him were startled and all began to sprint towards the other side of the canyon.
In the next instant, a massive golden light pillar descended from the sky, crashing into the higher end of the canyon with a loud rumble.
The rock walls of the canyon where the golden light struck, collapsed like an avalanche.
Huge chunks of rocks and debris mixed with rolling dust fell, completely blocking off the exit of the canyon before continuing to spread backwards. The entire canyon seemed like a natural cemetery, ready to bury them all.
As Shen Luo commanded people to retreat, he didn’t run himself, but stayed behind to cover their retreat.
His eyebrows furrowed in intense focus, forming seals with both hands, his Nameless Cultivation Technique was running at full strength. He could feel the moisture around him, as he tried to channel river water to stop the mountain from collapsing.
However, as he was casting the spell, his expression changed slightly. He suddenly looked down at his feet, a look of delight flashing in his eyes.
Moments later, the trembles in the earth before him intensified. The ground “boomed”, a part of it collapsed revealing a pitch-black void.
“Gurgle…”
The sound of water surging echoed and grew increasingly loud, gradually reaching a crescendo, sounding like leaps of thunder.
“Rise.”
Shen Luo made a hand sign and shouted loudly.
From the big hole before him, a thick stream of water flowed out like a Flood Dragon leaving its cave, transforming into a giant flood under Shen Luo’s Water Control Technique, rushing towards the collapsed rocks.
Below the canyon which used to be a river channel, there is actually an underground river!
