Book 1: Chapter 195

Fatty couldn't hide his shocked expression, "Fishing? Fishing with children? What were they fishing for?

As the cold firework went out slowly, the children below disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the light from our flashlights. I pointed my flashlight at the pool, but I couldnt see clearly since the water was too deep for the light to penetrate.

I sighed, scratched my head, and looked at Poker-Face, who was still looking at the water. "Is there really something in the water that would eat children? But the children are still there, so is it just a cult superstition?"

Poker-Face started another cold firework and Fatty immediately said, "Little Brother, take it easy. Were on an entrepreneurial venture this time. There arent that many cold fireworks. I still have three here and Wu Xie still has two, but that's all weve got."

Poker-Face obviously had a purpose this time. He waited, pointed the cold firework at a certain position, and then threw it down.

This time, the cold firework slowly sank against the edge of the spring and fell to a deeper place next to one of the child corpses. We could see that there was something on the wall of the spring below the child corpse. It was a huge arch that stretched across the bottom of the spring and appeared to have been carved from stone. Poker-Face said, "These children's corpses were soaked in something while they were in immense pain. These people were using the childrens corpses to catch that thing and poison it."

Black Glasses touched the water with his hand. "The water temperature here is fine. Could it be some kind of fish?"

Black Glasses looked up, "When they were building this tower, they mustve come upon the spring water here. They wouldnt have stopped and would have certainly continued building, but the rock layers would make it very difficult to excavate. Its possible they used the stone bridge below to continue digging in another direction. We haven't found anything yet, but there were more earthen mounds earlier. Should we go up and switch to another one?"

The cold fireworks light gradually faded.

At this time, all of us suddenly saw that there was a splash in the water and ripples appeared. Something seemed to have fallen from the beams higher up and landed in the pool.

Then, there were two or three more drip, drip, drip sounds and three more ripples appeared. When we moved our flashlights and looked up, we saw a huge thing hanging on the ceiling.
