Chapter 2009 The Hole Leading to the Underground World
After leaving the villa, there are woods connecting to the beach.
This Chinese-style villa is surrounded by acres of woods. There are several paths in the woods leading to different places.
Li Xuehao confirmed the location and chose a trail on the left.
Mrs. Kanbara's family of three plus Princess Reiko and Mizuhashi Kachiko followed behind him. At 4:30 and Charlotte returned to their cute pet state, one on the left and the other on the right following Mizuhashi Kachiko's feet.
The path on the left also leads to the beach, but it is not the private beach where I just met Asami Kanhara, but a beach that looks a bit deserted.
It is said to be deserted because not only is there not a single person to be seen here, even the trees on the beach look very "decadent". The branches and leaves that should have been lush and green seemed to have been dried out by the hot sun, and they were hanging loosely. Some trees were completely withered, as if they would become shattered with the slightest touch of hands.
"Mrs. Kanbaru, where is this place?" Li Xuehao estimated that it was only a few hundred meters away from the villa, with a forest in the middle.
"Manaka-kun, this is the 'Devil's Beach'." Mrs. Kanhara looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly, as if she was taboo about this place.
"Devil's Beach?" Just hearing the name doesn't sound like a good place, but Li Xuehao, who knew the reason, thought it was normal. Those withered and listless trees could only become like this because they could not retain nutrients and moisture.
"Yes, we originally planned to build a bathing beach here, but as you can see, the trees here are more likely to wither than other places, and the water quality is much worse, so we finally gave up." Mrs. Kanhara pointed to the surrounding areas. Shu Hehai said, "Because the environment is so bad and the experts invited could not find the reason, the nearby villagers said that this is a place cursed by the devil, hence the name 'Devil's Beach'."
This way of naming is really simple and crude, just like the cave discovered by Mai Guasheng, it is called Devil's Cave, and this place is also called Devil's Beach.
However, it is not wrong to use "devil" to describe it, because the trees are withered, the sand is almost black, and the sea water, which should be blue in color, looks very gray here, making people feel very uncomfortable. No wonder No one came.
The culprit behind all this may be the man in white, the ancestor of Mrs. Kanbaru, because no one would have thought that there is another world hidden under this beach.
The underground world has absorbed all the nutrients above, leaving only dross above. Without vitality, it has naturally become a devil's beach in everyone's eyes.
"Mrs. Kanbaru, there is a reason why this place is like this." Li Xuehao closed his eyes and sensed it, and quickly found the "entrance".
"What's the reason?" Mrs. Kanhara looked at him expectantly. As a powerful Qi practitioner, it was not unimaginable to know the reason for the formation of Devil's Beach.
Princess Reiko and others also looked over, ready to hear his reasons.
"Follow me." Li Xuehao did not explain. Instead of saying it with his mouth, it would be better for them to see it with their own eyes. He led a few people along the gray-black beach to the almost completely withered woods on the other side.
There are signs of decay and desolation everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that there are still several big trees still standing strong, I'm afraid this place would have become a dead land.
In the middle of the woods, there was a pool, about five or six meters long and wide. The pool was filled with rotten leaves and wood, emitting a strong stench.
Mrs. Kanbaru and others all covered their noses. The smell was so unpleasant. If someone hadn't led the way, they would have all covered their noses and fled.
"You guys step back." Li Xuehao stood by the pool and motioned for everyone to move away. He was the only one who didn't cover his nose. For him, he only had to hold his breath and he wouldn't be able to smell anything.
Mrs. Kanhara and others stepped aside. They wished they could stay far away from this pool.
Li Xuehao saw that it was almost done. He stretched out his hand and pointed it at the pool. A faint blue spark appeared from his hand, and then turned into a lightning as thick as an arm.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and lightning struck the center of the pool.
The rotten liquid and dead branches inside were blown up by the explosion, but miraculously, they did not splash away. They seemed to be blocked by something and bounced back into the pool.
The eyes of Mrs. Kanhara and her family next to them almost bulged out from their eyes. This, this, this is really unimaginable. The one who can do this is not a human being at all, but a god, or perhaps even more terrifying than a god.
After reacting, Mrs. Kanhara's whole body was shaking with excitement. She could imagine that her ancestors were once so powerful, so powerful that the gods were in awe.
Princess Reiko and Mizuhashi Kachiko didn't act too exaggerated. One had experienced playing the role of "Sea Dragon Girl", and the other had long taken it for granted.
The rancid liquid and rotten branches and leaves that bounced back into the pool did not splash up, but continued to sink to the bottom of the pool. As the rancid water and miscellaneous garbage gradually disappeared, a large hole with a diameter of about three meters was revealed.
"This is..." Mrs. Kanhara and others ignored the rancid smell and gathered around.
Li Xuehao held Mizuhashi Kachiko in one hand so that she could see more clearly, and at the same time isolated the rancid smell so that she would not smell it.
In the middle of the pool, the large circular hole seemed to be unfathomable. Even if there was sunlight shining on the top of the head, one could not see how deep it was.
"We are going down next. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go down?" Li Xuehao glanced at the people present. After all, not everyone likes to take risks.
However, no one backed down. Obviously, everyone wanted to go down and see what was underneath.
"In that case, let's go down together." Li Xuehao nodded, "Now everyone forms a circle, the smaller the better, I believe no one wants their bodies to touch the filth that just flowed in."
Everyone stuck together closely. On Li Xuehao's left was Princess Reiko, and on his right was holding Kachiko Mizuhashi. They formed a circle, probably less than two meters apart, so it was much more convenient to go down this way.
As for Four Thirty and Charlotte, he didn't need to worry about it. It was easy for the two little guys to get down.
"Get ready, we're going down now." After a reminder, Li Xuehao controlled everyone, slowly floated up, and moved towards the big hole in the middle of the pool.
Mrs. Kanbara's family of three looked at their feet in wonder. There was nothing under their feet, but they could fly. This was the first time they had experienced weightlessness.
When everyone entered the cave, the light also dimmed. The further down they went, the darker they became. Only the opening of the cave above their heads could see light.
But as it went deeper and deeper, the light above the head also disappeared. I didn't know how deep the cave was, it just kept going down and down.
This feeling, if it were a person, would definitely be scary, but now no one feels it, but instead there is a novel and exciting feeling.
I don’t know what is waiting for everyone down there.
