Chapter 369 The pool is half dry, and a water cave is revealed.
The bottom of the deepest abyss.
At the bottom of the Abyss Valley, there is a clearing with grass that looks like it has been carefully tended.
The weeds on the open space had been cleared away, revealing a large open area.
Three wooden houses were neatly built in the middle of the open space.
The open space outside the wooden house was kept very tidy.
The roof was thickly thatched, indicating that the occupants had taken great care in their living.
A few feet away from the three wooden houses, a pavilion was built.
The area is surrounded by a fence, which isolates the open space from the outside world.
Inside the Orchid Pavilion, Leng Xiyue was looking down and picking at the rice in her bowl.
A small pot of cured meat was also placed on the bamboo table, its aroma wafting far and wide on the wind.
He sat opposite Zhang Sanfeng, who was slowly picking up a piece of cured meat with bamboo chopsticks, chewing it slowly, with a hint of contentment in his eyes.
"Yes, this meat is marinated very well, and it's much richer than the lamb we had last time."
Leng Xiyue mumbled incoherently as she shoveled another mouthful of rice into her mouth.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind suddenly swept in.
The weeds on the Orchid Pavilion rustled in the wind.
Even their long hair was whipped into the air by the strong wind.
Before the wind had died down, a figure had already landed in the center of the Orchid Pavilion with a "whoosh".
The newcomer was slender and dressed in faded coarse cloth clothes; it was Yun Dan.
Now, Xiao Yundan has grown into a beautiful young woman, graceful and elegant with fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs.
Her face still looked somewhat travel-worn, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Leng Xiyue didn't even look up, continuing to eat the rice in her bowl.
"Hey Xiaoyundan, I haven't seen you since you went out the day before yesterday. I thought you'd been carried off to be a snack by the wolves at the bottom of the valley."
He picked up a piece of cured meat, smacked his lips, and said, "But seriously, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This meat is much tastier than that goat meat from last time."
Yun Dan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and reached out to smooth her hair, which had been messed up by the wind from running too fast.
"Hmph, she only calls me 'Little Yundan' when there's something delicious to eat."
If the taste is a little off one day, the little girl will yell "Little girl!"
I really don't know if I owed you something in my past life.
She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly froze. "Wait, you mean the day before yesterday? I've been gone for two days already?"
She thought she had gone out yesterday and returned today.
I never imagined that two days would have passed since my trip.
Zhang Sanfeng's gaze fell on Yun Dan's wet hair.
Her hair looked like it had just been pulled out of the water, with water droplets dripping from the ends, and even the clothes on her shoulders were soaked.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What were you doing? Why are you all soaking wet?"
Upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Leng Xiyue looked up at Yun Dan's soaked clothes and also became puzzled.
"Hey girl, did you spend three whole days and two nights diving into that pond?"
Yun Dan didn't answer directly, but instead plopped down on the bench and looked at the two of them.
A mysterious smile appeared on her face.
"Guess what I found on this trip?"
Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered.
Leng Xiyue was even more confused.
He stayed at the bottom of this extreme abyss for more than thirty years.
He was about twenty years older than Lin Yundan and Zhang Sanfeng.
He had explored almost every inch of the valley; what could he not know?
"Although this valley is very large, we've explored every part of it dozens of times."
Leng Xiyue put down her chopsticks and said, "Tell me, what new things can you discover?"
Yun Dan lowered her voice and uttered four words.
"A passageway."
"what?"
Upon hearing these four words, Leng Xiyue immediately sat up straight.
The nonchalant expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by one of shock.
"Passage? What passage?"
Zhang Sanfeng also raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
Seeing this, Yun Dan deliberately kept everyone in suspense, picked up the bamboo tube on the table and poured herself a cup of water.
She slowly took a sip before speaking, "To be precise, it's an underwater cave."
"An underwater cave?"
Leng Xiyue's eyes widened even more as she stared intently at Yun Dan.
"Which pool of water did you find the cave in?"
He stayed at the bottom of the valley for so long that he explored almost all the pools.
But I have never seen any underwater caves.
"It's right below that pool at the foot of the mountain to the west."
The day before yesterday, I was planning to go there to see if there were any wild animals I could catch.
Unexpectedly, when they got there, they found that the water in that pool had been reduced by more than half.
I remember going down there once before; it was bottomless.
They even caught a snake when they got ashore.
I noticed that the water in the pool had decreased by more than half, so I watched it for a while out of curiosity.
I also discovered a dark opening in the innermost part of the mountain wall, which looked like the top of a cave.
She paused, her tone tinged with excitement.
"I was immediately curious when I saw it, so I jumped over to take a look."
However, there is still a lot of water at the entrance of the cave.
So I decided to dive down and see what was inside.
Leng Xiyue asked anxiously, "And then? What's it like inside?"
Yun Dan sighed, as if she had remembered something helpless.
"At first, I was just curious and had no idea where it led."
After I dived in, I kept swimming forward, and it felt like I swam for about three or four hours before finally surfacing.
When I surfaced, I saw a spacious cave.
"Three or four hours?"
Leng Xiyue suddenly raised her voice, her eyes widening like copper bells.
"Girl, what did you just say? You swam underwater for three or four hours?"
Yun Dan was also startled by his sudden reaction.
She nodded blankly and replied, "Yes, the cave was full of water, so I could only swim."
Who knew that going in would almost make me depressed to death!
I swam for an hour at first, and when I saw that I hadn't reached the end, I almost wanted to turn back.
But I felt extremely unwilling, so I gritted my teeth and swam forward!
In the end, my efforts were not in vain.
"I was allowed to swim inside, but it took a little too long."
Am I asking about the situation inside?
Leng Xiyue interrupted her, her tone filled with disbelief and anxiety.
"I'm asking how you can hold your breath underwater for so long?"
Three or four hours? Do you think you're a fish?
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng also nodded and looked at Yun Dan.
"If an ordinary martial artist doesn't have enough internal strength, he won't be able to hold his breath underwater for an hour or two, and he'll have to come out on his own after at most half an hour."
Yun Dan then realized what was happening, scratched her head, and looked completely innocent.
"Huh? What's so strange about that? The cultivation technique I practice includes a breath-closing technique that allows me to stay underwater for a long time."
You two are both top-tier figures, surely you can do it?
