Sunnyshies: Thank you for the Kofi, Ashratherose!!
Where’s the promised donut flavor pheromone?
…
At this moment, Ah Kang woke up with a groan while lying on the cold shore.
Everyone’s attention was attracted to Ah Kang, and Nan Guo also pretended to come over and asked how he was.
Ah Kang opened his eyes. After being in a daze for a few seconds, he seemed to have regained consciousness. He sat up suddenly and his eyes widened in panic: “Snake!? Dragon!?”
“The snake didn’t fall, it’s still trapped up there.” Jiang Kun comforted.
“Dragon? Where did the dragon come from?” Luo Qi caught the strange words in Ah Kang’s words. He could understand the snake, even if it’s the crocodile-faced anaconda, it could still be a snake and a python, but a dragon?
What the hell is that?
Luo Qi saw the same confusion in Jiang Kun’s eyes, while Lu Liran and Ke Ji unanimously turned their attention to the broad and calm underground river in front of them.
Sure enough, they heard Ah Kang say in a panic: “There is a dragon in the water!”
Nan Guo approached with great interest: “Dragon? Please tell me carefully? Is there really a dragon?”
Dragon, even in today’s great interstellar era, still has its widespread legend.
Snake body, deer antlers, goat’s beard, eagle’s claws, fish scales, the legendary leader of scaly creatures and king of beasts. Rumor has it that it can be visible and invisible, thin and huge, short and long.
Such a magical and vividly described creature has naturally been praised and studied by many people. Unfortunately, until now, there are no images that record the true appearance of the dragon.
Lu Liran’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Ah Kang say “There is a dragon”. Of course, he was extremely curious about this legendary creature, but then he thought, if there were dragons in the water, how could the water be so peaceful? Most of them are big fish with horns.
Ah Kang nodded hurriedly and said: “I saw it, it was the one that knocked me out! I fell into the water, and just as I was about to emerge, a dragon’s head rushed out of the water, and with a heavy swing of its tail, it knocked me out! I’m not exaggerating!”
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes and exposed his back. Sure enough, he saw an obvious bruise on his back, which was obviously a trace left not long ago.
Nan Guo came up to compare the size. The bruise was shaped like a fan, almost covering the entire back muscle diagonally. The area looked huge and exaggerated.
Professor Nan mentally compared the proportions of the creature’s body, and then lost interest. The thing was estimated to be only six or seven meters long. Although it was considered a giant in the water, it was far from a “dragon”.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He glanced at Ah Kang and dispelled the other person’s excitement: “That’s not a dragon. It’s probably a mutated subspecies of antlered fish. It’s quite large.”

Lu Liran heard Nan Guo’s words and glanced at the other person. That person was so sure that this was the mutated subspecies that he must have information that they didn’t know.
He did not participate in the discussion. He just stood up and said to others: “Since we’re awake, let’s hurry up as soon as possible, no one can say how long this journey will take.”
“Okay.” Luo Qi was the first to nod in response.
Several people each took out a handful of thick and long branches that were burning brightly from the bonfire, and tied them into a bunch for lighting.
Lu Liran walked to the branch that had been inserted in the shallow water and looked at the canteen. The rope had been extended out to a length of twenty centimeters, and the direction could be clearly seen.
So Lu Liran took back the rope and the canteen, he pointed in a direction and said: “Then the direction the canteen floats out is west, and the reverse is east.”
“Let’s go this way.” He stood up neatly and strode forward in the darkness, while Ke Ji followed closely beside him without saying a word, like the most loyal knight.
This time, Nan Guo followed Lu Liran very eagerly and actively, getting ahead of Luo Qi and Jiang Kun, and quickly followed Lu Liran.
Luo Qi didn’t know what to say when he saw this, but he was a little confused. Why did Professor Nan suddenly lose his usual sick look?
Jiang Kun walked behind Nan Guo, then Ah Kang, and finally Luo Qi was at the back.
After leaving the big hole above the head, the underground cave more than ten meters deep became darker and darker, and the only way to illuminate the two or three meters in front of the road was through firelight.
A group of people walked along the cave wall. The fire light reflected the cave wall, and they saw the top of the cave wall. Magnificent groups of strange-shaped stones can be seen everywhere on the side walls, some of which look like jade corals, fairy hands, curved stone flowers…in various shapes.
The minerals and metal elements in the mountain are also seeping in over time, adding colorful colors to these rugged rocks.
Yellow, red, brown and green, nature is like a ghostly painter, using the boldest and exaggerated colors to carve out the most wonderful scenery.
If this group of people hadn’t been forced to be trapped here, maybe they would still be in the mood to marvel at this beautiful and unusual scene.
The empty underground cave echoed with the footsteps of their group. In addition to the footsteps, the sound of dripping water could also be heard occasionally, and the clear and crisp sound of dripping water penetrating through the stone is like hitting the apex of their hearts from time to time.
Darkness makes everyone’s five senses involuntarily sharpened. If the eyes cannot see, the ears become extra alert and the sense of touch becomes extra delicate.
Jiang Kun touched the back of his neck and then his scalp, always feeling water dripping on his head and the back of his neck.
But he took a torch and swept up, but he didn’t see any rocks with water on them. They were all dry.
The torches held by Jiang Kun and others were no brighter than those held by Lu Liran and Ke Ji. It was just a few bundles from the bonfire that had just been built, and cloth strips tied together to increase the area of the fire. It was not soaked in animal oil, and the distance it could illuminate was only one or two meters away, but it was enough.
“What are you looking at?” Ah Kang couldn’t help but ask as he walked behind him.
Jiang Kun said: “It’s nothing, I just feel like there are water drops on my neck and it’s weird.”
Ah Kang nodded in agreement: “I think so too.”
Jiang Kun felt relieved when he heard that Ah Kang was also hit by water drops——As long as he is not the only one who falls for this kind of thing, then most of them won’t be a big problem.
Lu Liran’s eyelids twitched when he heard the two people talking in low voices behind him. He raised his torch and swept it across the rocks above his head, and then stretched out his hand to touch the rock wall. The rock wall was completely dry for tens of centimeters upwards. Where was the water dripping from?
He suddenly looked up at the dark top of his head and narrowed his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” The professor followed Lu Liran’s line of sight and looked up with some interest, but couldn’t see anything.
Jiang Kun and Ah Kang felt a sudden shock when they saw this, and asked with a trembling voice that they were not even aware of: “Is there something up there?”
Lu Liran turned to the two people, he pursed his lips and said: “Nothing, I just took a look.”
He said nothing, lest the two men, whose minds were already worn out, should be frightened out of their wits, but only secretly quickened his march.
What’s in the dark?
There is unknown in the darkness.
They walked along the upper reaches of the underground river. As they walked, the underground river, which was more than ten meters wide, gradually narrowed.
If the entire underground river trunk channel was compared to a pot with a long and narrow neck, then Lu Liran and his party didn’t know how long they had been walking. Now that they have reached the neck of the pot, it does not mean that they have to walk through the narrow neck of the pot, which means they have reached the exit of the pot.
The passable road is getting narrower and narrower, sometimes only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, sometimes so narrow that one person had to pass sideways.
This underground cave is full of rocky forks in all directions. If Lu Liran hadn’t chosen to just follow the underground river, he wouldn’t have known where he was going.
Walking in such an environment is extremely challenging for your mentality. Those with a poorer mentality may even be prone to auditory hallucinations and tactile hallucinations—— That is, you think you heard something or you thought you touched something, but in fact, nothing exists.
Luo Qi always felt in his mind that he should be at the front of the team, but gradually, he walked at the back of the team. Every time he couldn’t help but look back, he saw an invisible darkness, like an abyss that could swallow up all light and sound, like an invisible suction pulling him back.
He tried hard to restrain the thought of looking back, but fear and curiosity went hand in hand. They grew at the same time. They breed and destroy at the same time, and as he struggled to keep up with the group and never look back, he could still feel what felt like something behind him pulling at him.
This unspeakable fear tortured Luo Qi, making his steps slower and slower, becoming more and more stagnant.
It wasn’t until Lu Liran took another step forward that a sharp reverse pull came from his waist, and he instantly realized that someone had a problem.
He held the torch and quickly looked back, and finally walked in front of Luo Qi.
Luo Qi’s face looked ugly, and his whole body seemed to be nailed to the spot.
When he saw Lu Liran walking towards him, he closed his eyes forcefully and showed a somewhat ugly and forced smile: “Sorry…”
“I’m the one who neglected it.” Lu Liran interrupted him.
Staying at the back to ensure the safety of the entire team and completely exposing one’s back to the darkness is an extremely challenging thing in itself.
Lu Liran originally wanted to exchange places with Luo Qi, but unexpectedly Ke Ji suddenly said: “I will come to the rear.”
Lu Liran was stunned. He had both acquiesced and was used to Ke Ji always standing by his side. But thinking about the current situation, Ke Ji was indeed more suitable for being in the rear.
“What?! Let an Omega come to the rear?! That won’t work!” Jiang Kun jumped up and immediately volunteered, “I’ll do it. I will switch with Captain Luo.”
Lu Liran shook his head and said: “No, he is the only one who is most suitable.”
Jiang Kun’s eyes widened, what nonsense is this!
But before Jiang Kun could refute, he saw Ke Ji walking up to him and even raising his hand to gently press his shoulder.
Jiang Kun took a deep breath—— This was the first time he and an Omega had such close physical contact!
At this moment, Ke Ji unreservedly released a powerful pheromone belonging to an Alpha.
Jiang Kun took a deep breath, and the bitter and strong smell of gunpowder smoke immediately irritated his eyes and made him almost fight back out of instinct.
Then, he froze on the spot—— Huh?
“Now, can you return to your position?” Ke Ji restrained himself and then asked in a good-tempered way.
“……” Jiang Kun hadn’t recovered yet, and subconsciously followed the instructions of the more powerful Alpha and returned to his position in the team.
Where had his tall, beautiful and delicate Omega gone? Jiang Kun thought in his heart.
Then when he raised his eyes again and saw Ke Ji, he looked like he almost fainted.
What about the promised donut pheromone?!
Sunnyshies: Hahaha, poor Kun-zai. Speaking of, this is true. Its a total darkness underground. Before covid, my siblings and I went to hike a mountain, then went to explore a cave afterwards. The cave has two levels, but because it was raining that day, the level 2 underground was flooded, so we can only explore the level 1 cave. It was inside the mountain, down underground. There was occasional light from some holes on the ceiling, but without flashlight, it was a total darkness. It was exciting and creepy at the same time.
😂😂😂 and just like that the ship was sunk with no hope
💖💐💖💐
Nope on the cave exploration, I have to much imagination.
I’ve watched too many cave exploring gone wrong videos to be okay with them just walking in deeper and deeper.
