I was getting more and more curious about the underground. I really wanted to know what happened to the three armies and couldn't wait to go down to have a look. The events that happened back then were filled with too many mysteries.

Foreigners use a lifting appliance to pull the rope down, which reduces a lot of danger, but I've looked at the diesel engine next to the lifting appliance. There's no oil in it, so it's much harder to get down.

If the rope broke or his hand lost its grip, then he would really die.

Duan Hui advised us: "I think we do not need to go down, there is evil in here, and there are even many savages, I heard from the foreigners that there are some mountain gods."

Zhu Yingqiong coldly looked at him and said: "If you were afraid of dying, you shouldn't have called us out. We still have our doubts towards what you said right now, if you didn't bring us to find Ji Xiang's corpse, do you think we would have believed your words?"

Duan Hui frowned, "This … What good would it do me to lie to you? Fine, since we're going down, then you guys take the lead. I'll follow behind you, and I can help you pull the rope. "

Just as I was about to say something, Zhu Yingqiong said, "No, you have to be in front!"

"Why?" Duan Hui asked as he was about to collapse.

Zhu Yingqiong said: "I don't believe you, what if we go down first, and you cut off the rope in the middle of it?"

Duan Hui's face suddenly changed, he said angrily: You are spouting nonsense to slander people, let me tell you, I am a person with high education and access to the upper class, do not treat me like a country bumpkin, if it were not for this incident, people like you would never be able to come into contact with someone like me in your entire life?

I wanted to scold him, but Zhu Yingqiong waved her hand at me and did not say anything. Instead, she pulled up the rope that was tied to the bottom of the Sky Cavern and wrapped it around twice, allowing Duan Hui to pass through with his legs. That way, he would be able to stabilize his body.

Duan Hui said while trembling: "Then how can I guarantee that you won't cut off the ropes and kill me when I'm halfway there, and take away my gold bars? Don't think that I don't know about it. There aren't many people in the Wild Mountain and there won't be anyone finding this place. There's no need to worry at all if we kill them. "

I was completely speechless and said impatiently, "Is there a need to beat you up? Remember, we are not interested in your gold. "

After saying that, I intentionally raised the gun in my hand, causing Duan Hui's face to turn pale, he looked down at the pitch black sky ditch and then looked back at our faces, then clenched his teeth and pulled on the rope as he crawled downwards.

After all, Duan Hui had experience before, so his speed of descent was very fast. Ten minutes later, we heard his report of safety from below, and it seemed like this Sky Cavern was around thirty to forty meters deep. When we looked down from above, we would be able to see Duan Hui's flickering light.

I took out a mine lamp and put it on Zhu Yingqiong's head: "I will cut off the rear, you go first, we need to be careful of Hu Guangzu!"

Hu Guangzu has always been a elusive figure, I was worried that when we're crawling around in the middle, Hu Guangzu would appear out of nowhere and break the rope, so I was a little worried. Zhu Yingqiong did not waste any time talking, he only warned me to be careful, then she immediately grabbed onto the rope and slid down.

She was extremely agile. Without even making any insurance, she pulled on the rope and swung it downwards. She was over 30 meters tall, and it didn't even take her three minutes to reach that height. All I could see from above was the flash of a mine lamp.

F * ck, looks like my physical fitness will have to improve in the future. Right now, I can't even compare to a woman!

I put the backpack down with the rope, checked the line on the lift, made a mark on it, and wrapped the rope around my waist. Then I slowly slid down with both hands gripping the rope.

Halfway down, I could feel the shade of the Sky Cavern even more clearly. Furthermore, when I looked at the mountain walls, I realized that there weren't any traces of carving, as if it was formed by nature. When I reached the surface, I could already hear the faint sound of water.

Crash! *

The Dark River s were cold and bone-piercing, they had been submerged to their calves and the sky ditch was only the size of a basketball court. At the extreme right edge of the pit, I could see a position that was similar to an exit, but the stone wall there had collapsed and the huge rock had blocked the entrance to the cave, so this should be the real exit that Duan Hui had mentioned.

The mining lamp shook, and the light shone everywhere. The Dark River could be seen flowing in from outside, and it even went straight to the deepest part of the Sky Cavern. There was a dark hole there, and it was about the size of a Emancipation Card truck.

"Is this the only way to pass through White Kingdom and Underground City?"

I was a little doubtful and couldn't believe it at all. It felt like a natural water cave with no traces of manmade work at all.

But my idea was quickly broken as we started to travel in a hurry. Duan Hui led us to the storage room he mentioned, and we followed the dark river and entered the dark cave. We realized that the ground had started to slant downwards, and was becoming more and more sinister.

The Dark River gradually became narrower, and there were even places that began to turn deeper. Sometimes, we still needed to swim across.

I don't like swimming in dark and gloomy surroundings, and it's even in the underground river. Who knows what's under the water, but Zhu Yingqiong didn't say anything, f * cking hell, I can't possibly show weakness in front of women, I could only clench my teeth and advance.

Duan Hui said that they were well-equipped when they came in with the British, and they travelled forward using inflatable rubber dinghies. Therefore, it was very fast, and it was at least an hour or so since we were on the water path.

As expected, after walking for more than half an hour, the underground passage starts to widen. We walk out of the dark river and step onto a rocky beach, and even though it is dark underground, with the help of a mine lamp and flashlight, we can still see the inverted stalactites and weird stones within.

We saw that the rocky beach was covered with rough stone steps constructed by humans, all of them built by leaning against the sides of the mountain. Separated by a distance from the underground river, such a large amount of work must have been left behind by the People of White Kingdom back then.

However, as I walked, I discovered that there were suddenly numerous rusted barbed wire on both sides of the stone steps. It was like a protective barrier on both sides of the rough stone steps, probably a masterpiece created by Sakyamuni Army afterwards.

I am a little doubtful. If the White Kingdom moved to the underground to survive back then, then why does the first half of the underground seem so primal. Could it be that the People of White Kingdom didn't even think of altering it?

Or was it because the place we entered wasn't the right way at all, and was instead the other way that the Sakyamuni Army had accidentally barged out afterwards?

As my mind was preoccupied with something, I unknowingly walked past the rough stone stairs and bumped into Duan Hui. He was standing on a cliff in front of me, and only when I looked forward did I realize that there was no path in this place. The ground had caved in once more, forming a gigantic deep depression in the ground.

I saw a lot of cushions and concrete blocks around the pool. This pool was probably blocked by the Japanese on purpose, so I don't know what its purpose was!

Above the pond was a crumbling suspension bridge that looked tattered, but the wooden planks on it had long since been disassembled, becoming steel plates. In front of the suspension bridge was an earthen wall that had been remodeled into a bunker.

On the mouth of the bunker, in the confusion of the lights and torches, I could still see the mortars, and on the right side of the bunker was a gentle terrain, and I could see that there were boxes filled with writing marks on them, but they were all in Japanese and I couldn't make out what they were.

But some of the boxes had already been opened, and I saw a loop of cable, an old-fashioned kind of cable, and at the end of the cable was a concrete building built on a high platform, made of steel, and I saw old products like generators, and at the back of the concrete house was another black gash in the mountain, so it looked like the place had to go on.

Seeing all this, I was astonished. Heavens, what did Shen Wu Tian Zuo want all those years ago?

Looking at how things were not as simple as a temporary encampment, the time-consuming and laborious construction of concrete houses, generators, electric cables, f * ck, could it be that they wanted to construct a new kingdom below, just like the White Kingdom back then?

But this is also in contradiction to us seeing the blown up exit in front of us. Could it be that they really want to stay underground forever and not go out?

Duan Hui opened his mouth and said: "We were here before, the concrete house is full of resources left behind by the Japanese, the gold bars were found inside, and the chaos happened here, I can immediately bring you to find Ji Xiang's corpse."

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly turned, and then said in a small voice: "Chen San, don't you feel that something's wrong?"

I looked at her in astonishment and asked, "What did you think of?"

Zhu Yingqiong continued to speak in a low voice: "This place is built to be like an underground armory, and we only see a corner, there must be more at the end, how long does this take?"

I casually calculated and said, "It won't take three to five years."

After saying that, a light of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I once again looked down at the ground in astonishment. In my heart, I immediately understood what Zhu Yingqiong wanted to say.

Back then, when Sakyamuni Army carried the mysterious Sarcophagus into the Wild Mountain, the British army and Expeditionary Force followed closely behind. From then on, the three armies completely disappeared.

This was impossible!

But the reality is right in front of our eyes, we couldn't help but to believe it. Could it be that the Japanese s who entered the Wild Mountain back then were not just Sakyamuni Army, but all of the British Maine Army and Expeditionary Force were annihilated by them?

There were only about one hundred or two hundred people here, but there were definitely more than just a few people following them. After that, there was a distress signal from the British Maine Army, so with Expeditionary Force knowing the number of people, it was impossible to bring only one or two hundred people into the mountain, so there must be at least three times the number of people.

Even if the Sakyamuni Army of these two armies were powerful, they would not be able to completely annihilate them. Even if they could, they would not have the time or energy to reconstruct the underground.

I suddenly thought of an unprecedented idea. Could it be that the reconstruction of the underground White Kingdom was done by the three armies at the same time?

I told this thought to Zhu Yingqiong, and she also expressed her agreement. However, I felt that my vision had collapsed, and simply shook my head.

The three armies were all enemies, there was no need to talk about how old they were. If they met, you would definitely be the one to die, and at that time, both the internal and external wars were very intense and sensitive. How could the three armies work together?

Zhu Yingqiong said: "Only the cooperation of the three armies can give us time to completely reconstruct the entire underground. Although I don't know what caused them to cooperate, but the truth is right in front of us, there's always a way, it's just that we don't know."

I frowned and said, "If we want the three armies to cooperate, unless they have reached some sort of uniform agreement, then perhaps it has something to do with their final mysterious disappearance. Maybe we have to find a way to find the command room of the three armies, or maybe we can find some of the information from that year, such as the accompanying records or photographic boxes.

Zhu Yingqiong also nodded in agreement. At this time, we noticed that Duan Hui had already climbed down the cliff and was walking up the suspension bridge. Zhu Yingqiong and I stopped communicating and we quickly followed.

From the suspension bridge came a creaking sound. Only then did I notice that the suspension bridge's ropes had been replaced with steel wire ropes, no wonder after all these years, the suspension bridge was still able to hang peacefully from the Dark River Lake.

Duan Hui urged us to hurry up and walk: "Anyway, we're all down, and there are still a lot of gold bars that we haven't taken yet. We have a lot of people this time, so we can move everything up at once.

In my heart, I thought that this fellow had thought it through quite a bit, but now that we've come to this step, our lives and deaths are no longer in our hands.

After walking across the suspension bridge, I opened the boxes on the flat ground. They were filled with old-fashioned electric cables, and I noticed that there were a lot of them hanging above my head. It seemed that if the three armies were cooperating, this underground area would have been completely remodeled by them, filled with all the necessary appliances from wartime, such as electric lamps.

Zhu Yingqiong pointed to the concrete building on the stage in front of them: "The control for the electric gate should be inside, I don't know if it can still be used."

At that time, the electric locks were different from the ones we have now, for large underground bases like these, they definitely had their own generators and such. Furthermore, the Dark River s were blocked by pools of water that flowed into the dark holes at the back of the concrete buildings, which means that they used water to generate electricity and the electricity they produced was completely qualified to produce electricity.

If this place was able to operate all the electrical equipment in the past, the underground passageway would be as bright as day. No one would be willing to live underground without seeing their own fingers, and only light would give people a sense of security.

To be honest, this place is filled with too many unknown mysteries and dangers. If we had light to illuminate our surroundings, we would be much safer.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yingqiong and I quickly walked towards the concrete building. However, just as we reached the iron ladder leading up to the mud-mixed house, I heard a strange noise, as if something was dragging on the ground.

He took a look behind him, but Duan Hui was still unwilling to give up. He thought that some of the boxes contained gold bars, and that the noise was not made by Duan Hui.

Fuck, there's only the three of us underground, and we can't make any noise. Could there be someone in the house?

He quietly turned off the mine light and then covered it with a layer of lightning. Only the light that was in front of us was left behind, and then, we slowly walked up the stairs. Just as I revealed my head, I saw a figure with his back facing us pulling a rotten corpse back from the concrete room.

The figure had his back to us and his figure could not be seen in the darkness, but I could clearly see that he was wearing military boots, a Japanese uniform, and a katana hanging from his waist.

Holy shit, it's the Japanese who tried to assassinate me and the sea!
