Chapter 24 Becoming a miner in a different world

About seven kilometers away from Gaoqi volcano, Chen Jing stopped by a pond.

There are actually many ponds in the mountains and forests surrounding Gaoqi volcano.

The depth of most ponds does not exceed three meters, and the deepest lake is just over eight meters.

But the pond in front of me, which is only 5 meters in diameter, is more than 20 meters deep!

And there is a crack in the deepest part.

Fortunately, Chen Jing was very careful in detecting each pond, otherwise he would have missed it.

This pond appeared due to geological activity.

Its cracks lead to underground rivers.

However, the gap was not wide enough for Chen Jing to pass through.

But Chen Jing decided to dive down first to find out. After all, at the crack of the underground river, the bioradar could not detect the situation on the other side.

The water in the pond is cold and not the underground hot spring as expected.

The bottom of the water is clear, but there are no aquatic species here.

Since he had never dived at this depth before, Chen Jing climbed down holding on to the exposed gravel at the bottom of the water.

This pond created by geological activities is not easy to get into. When it reached a depth of 15 meters, Chen Jing found that he could not get down.

It's getting narrower and narrower.

If you dive forcefully, you will get stuck.

But bioradar can already detect more information.

The width of the underground river exceeded Chen Jing's imagination.

The width exceeds 15 meters, while the length can only be detected to about 200 meters.

"I won't find anything strange, right?" Chen Jing was secretly surprised.

The ridiculously active geological activities of the Hengda Continent have created many strange sights. No one knows how many such underground rivers there are.

Where it leads, no one knows.

Chen Jing saw this natural scene for the first time in his two lives, and was naturally shocked.

And even better news shows up in bioradar.

The connection between this pond and the underground river is not at the upper end of the underground river, but at the bottom.

In other words, there is actually an underground river beside Chen Jing.

But the hard earth and rocks blocked further penetration.

After staying underwater for a long time, Chen Jing finally came up after feeling a little hypoxic.

"55 minutes. The time to stay still underwater is 55 minutes." Chen Jing looked at the time on the system and determined his plan.

That means chipping it away!

He had a strong feeling.

There is something you want in this underground river.

But before digging, Chen Jing decided to search all around.

Wouldn't it be better if there was an easier way to enter?

After three days of searching, Chen Jing was disappointed.

Apart from the crack in the pond, there is no other way to enter the underground river.

After finding a lot of iron tools from the small town and building a simple hut by the pond, Chen Jing was ready to stay here permanently.

When you are hungry, you go to look for the giant antelope, and when you are thirsty, you go to the surrounding ponds to drink water.

Chen Jing has no intention of drinking his own bath water.

The best way to open up access to the underground river is to expand the breach.

After all, all that is needed is to widen the already cracked earth and rock around it.

The strength of this body is already great, even in the water, Chen Jing can still perform very well.

The banging sound of chisels continued in the water.

It only took Chen Jing one day to cut the last five meters of tunnel down to only four meters.

However, the further down you go, the more difficult it becomes to dig. Because there are more rocks to dig through, it takes longer.

This is nothing to Chen Jing.

He has a lot of time.

And the closer he got to the crack, the stronger Chen Jing felt in his heart.

He didn't know if it was a psychological factor or something else, but he always had the feeling that he would find something as long as he entered the underground river.

However, within the range that bioradar can detect, there is nothing.

Time flies by very quickly.

Chen Jing came to Qixing for two months.

It took half a month to cut the stone.

Those who didn’t know better thought that they had traveled through time to work as miners.

It is only a day or two before the crack in the underground river is opened.

Sometimes Chen Jing wishes he could be thinner so that he could pass earlier.

ashore.

Inside the wooden house are some mattresses brought from a small town.

Outside the wooden house, there was a giant antelope tied with a thick hemp rope. This was specially caught by Chen Jing to better assist him in digging holes.

Chen Jing tied a hemp rope around his waist, took out the remaining awl and chisel, and walked to the pond.

In the past half month, Chen Jing has spent at least more than 12 hours in the pond every day.

Perhaps the same is true today.

Skillfully dive underwater.

After so many days, Chen Jing's water quality has improved a lot.

The reason why the final crack was difficult to cut was simply because we couldn't find a suitable starting point.

Chen Jing could only stand on his head and feet, put his hand into the crack, and use biometric radar to determine the location where he had struck.

The three factors combined: the small space, handstands, and stone chiseling meant that Chen Jing had to leave after less than half an hour each time underwater.

This was after he had once again evolved his lungs.

Under normal conditions, Chen Jing can now stay in the water for an hour and a half.

Imagine that you are in a space that is the same width as your body.

Just imagining it makes most people feel suffocated.

Being in a small space, the psychological uneasiness was the main reason why Chen Jing could only stay for such a short time.

After pulling the rope straight with your feet, the iron sheet on the shore will make a sound, and the giant antelope hearing the sound will start to pull the rope obediently.

In this way, Chen Jing can quickly get out of this small place.

This is also what Chen Jing came up with after being stuck for ten minutes while retreating.

The giant antelope is also surprisingly tractable.

Every time after coming up, even if the oxygen storage is completed, Chen Jing still has to spend some time to get rid of the uneasy feeling.

After touching Li Liang's head, Chen Jing named the giant antelope Li Liang.

Reset the pulling device and launch it into the water again.

The closer to the underground river, the wider the range Chen Jing can detect.

The detection capability of underwater bioradar has been weakened, but it is still at least 500 meters away.

Counting from the crack, there is no living thing for 500 meters before and after.

Some only have water.

The water flows from left to right, because the direction of Gaoqi volcano is on the right, so Chen Jing will go downstream first to take a look.

The sound of the chisel was heard far away in the water, but no creature came here to meet Chen Jing.
