“Chief Lu went down into the underground cave alone,” Xiao Licheng told Wu Chengyue about the news he just heard.

“Em,” Wu Chengyue raised his head and gave him a glance. Then, he dropped his head and continued reading the file.

“Aren’t you gonna say anything?” Xiao Licheng looked at him with confusion.

“What do you expect me to say?” Wu Chengyue looked at him and asked back.

Xiao Licheng looked at Wu Chengyue and stayed silent for a few seconds, then said, “You seem to be a little too calm. Aren’t you worried about her?”

Wu Chengyue said to him, “I think she’s strong enough to protect herself. She won’t die down there. Besides, she has invisibility and a space.”

“Oh…” Xiao Licheng paused briefly, then continued, “Well, there might be some kind of accident. After all, it’s those creatures’ nest down there.”

“Alright! Since she has already gone into the cave, she must have had herself prepared,” Wu Chengyue responded while reading the file.

After Xiao Licheng left, he spent another few minutes reading the file, then threw the file on the desk and turned to look at the two little people on the couch. “Do you think I should go down there to take a look too?”

Teng raised his head and gave his father a glance, then said, “Didn’t you say that she won’t die down there? Why are you worried about her now?”

Wu Yueling looked at her father with confusion as well as Teng continued, “Besides, you have a lot of work to do now. Do you have the time to go and find her?”

Wu Chengyue looked at the stack of files on his desk with a bitter face. He thought for a moment, then stood up and said, “I’ll try my best to finish my work here. I’ll go and have a meeting now. You two stay here.”

After saying that, he picked up some files and left. Wu Yueling and Teng watched him walk out of the office door speechlessly.

In spite of what he said, he was deeply worried about Lin Qiao.

…

In the underground cave, Lin Qiao was still moving forward. About half an hour later, she sensed moisture from the air. Once again, the road under her feet ended abruptly. Before her, was a cliff. from under which the sounds of water could be heard.

Lin Qiao stepped forward and looked down, seeing light reflected by the water. It seemed like an underground river; the point she was standing at was far away from the water.

She had actually found an underground river! It seemed that she was now deep underground.

She looked around and then looked up. The rock above her head was corroded by the moisture into a dome. It was quiet down there; no sound except that of water was heard. There was no energy or strange things existing in the water either.

Lin Qiao looked around and found a hole on the other side, so she walked toward it. But, before she approached the hole, footsteps were heard. She immediately stopped moving and leaned against the wall to take cover, waiting quietly.

The footstep sounds came closer and closer, sounding disordered and coming from a lot more than one creature.

“Roar, roar…” The roars and breathing sounds of underground creatures could also be heard. Soon, their scent could be sensed as well.

Lin Qiao then saw some two or three meters tall underground gorillas come out of the hole. They came to the edge of the cliff, then bent over and leaped down into the underground river.

Plop!

Plop! Plop! Plop… A series of noises were heard from the karst cave. Countless underground creatures walked out of the hole and then jumped into the river. As a result, the quiet river instantly became noisy.

Lin Qiao stood at the edge of the cliff and listened to the sounds coming from the river. She could even picture those creatures happily swimming in the water.

Plop! Plop! More underground creatures jumped into the river as Lin Qiao waited for a while. Hundreds of underground creatures had jumped into the river during that span of time. The clattering water sounds could be heard without an end.

“Owoo…” At that moment, a different sound was heard from a distance away.

‘That sounds like a dog. How come it sounds a little familiar?‘ Lin Qiao wondered.

“Roar?”

“Roar?”

“Roarrrr!”

The river fell into silence for a second, then waves of roars were heard, not very loud though.

“Owoooo…” At that very moment, another dog bark was heard.

“Roar…” The underground creatures roared again.

The dog wasn’t barking loud. It sounded unclear, seemingly far away from the river.

“Roar…” At that point, the underground creatures had given warnings. The ones who hadn’t jumped into the water turned and moved toward the tunnel where the dog barks came from.

Lin Qiao moved slightly toward the edge of the cliff and leaned her head forehead to look down, wondering how those creatures would climb back up.

On the other side of the cave, a round-shaped room about three hundred meters away from the river was in chaos. Tens of two-meters-tall underground gorillas were chasing a snake and a dog. A huge mushroom was hanging upside down on the cave roof, waving its tentacles and watching the chaotic battle happily.

Bowwow was running about in the ten-meter-wide room, leaping up or down while being chased by those creatures. He wasn’t frightened at all. On the contrary, it was running excitedly. Unlike the dog, Black stayed by the side flipping its tail to slap away every underground creature that pounced on him.

Too many underground creatures were in the room, so it was a little difficult for the snake to slap them all away with its tail tip. Therefore, it decisively darted into a tunnel nearby, bringing away some of the pursuers.

With that, the rest underground creatures all pounced on Bowwow. Bowwow was nimble and swift; as he was focusing on running, his body almost turned into shreds of shadows. No underground creature was paying any attention to the mushroom that was hanging on the cave roof.

Lin Qiao gave a glance at the underground creatures in the river, then moved toward the tunnel and sniffed at it. She sensed a strong earthy smell from those underground creatures which covered all the other smells.

The dog bark that she heard just now made her confused. Perhaps it was an escaped prey of those underground creatures. She did not forget that some underground creatures dragged quite a few dead mutated dogs into the junkyard earlier.

The underground creatures in the water quickly climbed back onto the cliff, then moved toward the tunnel where the dog barks were heard from, seeming to be in a hurry. As they came out of the water, Lin Qiao followed behind them.
