6: Chapter 6: Grim White Bones, Terrifying Monster Fish

Watching the camera slowly submerge underwater, Ye Xiao felt somewhat conflicted.

He knew that trying to stop the Archaeological Team from entering the water like this was indeed quite absurd, but Ye Xiao still couldn't help but stand up.

No one believed his words, which was within his expectations.

Ye Xiao wasn't particularly disappointed, just felt a bit of pity for the Archaeological Team in the Underground River.

Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice rang out abruptly in his mind.

[Ding! Host has successfully completed a guidance task. Congratulations on obtaining: one bottle of 'A Bit Sweet' brand mineral water!]

...

As soon as the voice finished, a bottle of mineral water with red and white packaging appeared on the corner of the table in front of Ye Xiao.

'A Bit Sweet' brand mineral water was a popular brand and not particularly rare.

He unscrewed the cap and took a sip, but there was nothing surprising about it.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly, muttering to himself in his heart.

"Ordinary mineral water? It could afford to give Ancient Blood and Secret Arts, so it doesn't seem like a stingy system. Why is it like this?"

Could it be...

Ye Xiao seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly becoming clear.

"Just now, I tried to stop the Archaeological Team from entering the water, but no one believed me, just taking it as a joke!"

"If more people believed me, then when I complete another guidance task, would the rewards given become higher level?"

At this thought, Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Now that he possessed the Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Yin-Yang Secret Art, he could be said to hold the encyclopedia of the grave-robbing world.

Guiding the Archaeological Team's operation at the Dragon Locking Well would certainly be a breeze.

It was just that making everyone believe his words, as could be seen from just now, was very difficult.

After all, the people present were all top experts in their respective fields!

Their worldviews had long been formed and could not be changed by a few words from him.

For a moment, Ye Xiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

...

Dragon Locking Well

Bottom of the well

Underground riverside

The underground cave was pitch black, and not a glimmer of light could penetrate through the water.

After submerging into the water, this Underground River seemed to turn into a deep hell, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Fortunately, everyone had undergone professional training, so diving was naturally not a problem.

Immediately, everyone began to adjust their breathing to ensure that the oxygen in their oxygen tanks was sufficient.

Subsequently, everyone turned on their flashlights and began to observe this Underground River.

Although the river was relatively clear and contained no impurities.

There were no traces of any fish in the water, and everything appeared relatively tranquil.

The person leading in front identified the direction and then led the team members to dive towards the chain of the Dragon Locking Well.

...

Command Center

Seminar Hall

Seeing the Archaeological Team successfully enter the water without encountering any accidents.

All the experts let out a sigh of relief in secret.

And they all glanced at Ye Xiao obscurely.

The audience in the Live Stream Room, after seeing the Archaeological Team enter the water safely, couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Uh, uh! It seems there is no danger in the water?"

"The water is very clear; it seems not even a fish exists! This body of water is very clean!"

"I finally understand what 'water clear of all fish' means!"

"It seems movies are just movies; there is no danger at the bottom of this water!"

...

It seemed everyone felt that this body of water was extremely pure, and the concept of danger simply didn't exist.

At that moment, no one noticed.

Among the Archaeological Team underwater, a team member's scraped finger, although simply bandaged, had started to unravel after encountering the water.

Wisps of crimson blood beads flowed out from the wound and dissolved into the water...

However, at this moment, beams of incandescent flashlight light shone through layers of water waves into the distance.

Projecting the outline of a straight, long chain.

Seeing this scene, the lead Archaeological Team member's eyes widened suddenly!

He hurriedly turned around and excitedly signaled to the teammates behind him that a chain had been discovered in the distance.

The others looked in the direction pointed out and all nodded excitedly.

Following that, everyone began to dive towards the chain in the distance.

But no one noticed,

On the pitch-black riverbed, it seemed something was stirring...

Arriving beside the chain, looking down along this deep chain, one could not see the bottom at a glance!

Even though this Underground River was not very deep, this chain seemed to connect to hell, unfathomably deep.

If one stared at the bottom of the deep chain, for a moment it would make one feel as if they were being swallowed by it, exceptionally eerie!

Facing such an eerie scene, everyone gave up the idea of continuing to explore and prepared to return to the stone platform first.

To discuss countermeasures with the command headquarters and wait for further instructions.

But suddenly, just as everyone was preparing to return to the shore, when their flashlights inadvertently swept over the riverbed, everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating for an instant.

This was absolutely the most terrifying scene they had ever seen in their lives!

They didn't know when, but undercurrents were surging beneath the riverbed.

On the originally pitch-black riverbed, countless monster fish had floated up for no reason and were swimming rapidly towards the Archaeological Team!

A pitch-black mass!

And after these monster fish left the riverbed, the true face of the riverbed was revealed!

It was clearly... countless ghastly white bones!

These bones were piled up on the riverbed, completely covering the entire riverbed!

Whether stuck in the mud and sand, or entangled in water weeds, the ghastly white bones appeared before everyone's eyes just like that, as if they had truly arrived in a living hell!!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, a coldness suddenly surging upwards!

The audience in the Live Stream Room, upon seeing this scene, was immediately in an uproar, and the Live Stream Room exploded as if a bomb had been thrown into it!

"My... God! This, this is too terrifying, right?"

"I've already started reacting, goosebumps are rising all over my body crazily, I can't stop them!"

"I just arrived. May I ask the experts, is a horror movie playing now? I'm so scared!"

"How could there be so many white bones on this riverbed? How many people died at the bottom of this water?"

"Could it be... water ghosts claiming lives?"

"It's really creepy! My scalp is still tingling even now!"

...

However, these white bones were not the most terrifying thing.

What was even more terrifying were the countless, dense monster fish rushing towards the Archaeological Team members.

Just one look was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

These monster fish were incredibly ugly, with brown scales paired with an eerie shape, as if they were a failed product of the Creator.

The most terrifying part was the teeth of these monster fish!

Their teeth were not a fixed row, but rather, dense, sharp fangs growing messily on the gums.

Especially at the very front of the snout, there were a total of four curved fangs on the top and bottom, each at least three centimeters long, looking incredibly horrifying!

If one were bitten, surgeons would probably not even know where to start stitching!
