The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 702: Could it be an underground river?

Ding Biao seemed to suddenly remember something and said hurriedly, "Sir, I told you about the path that disappears halfway through. It's hidden there."

Ouyang Yunyao's mouth corners slightly raised: "Oh, then take us to have a look."

"Yes! Sir, Miss." Ding Biao said flatteringly.

He led them and walked deeper into the valley, muttering as he walked: "No, no! Sir, they can't run so fast. There are obviously a lot of people in this valley. But where did they escape from?" He was puzzled.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao exchanged glances. They didn’t expect that this boy had also noticed the problems they had thought of.

When they arrived here, there were already soldiers from the Jingyong Army searching everywhere.

This is a narrow area at the end of the valley, not very big. On one side is a bare cliff, with water pouring down like a waterfall and falling into the pool below.

The other side was also a cliff, but it was covered with some vegetation. At this time, Ding Biao walked over there, pushed aside the thatch on the ground, pointed to a path and said, "Sir, sir, look, this is the path. It leads to the upper bend of the stone wall, and then there is no road."

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing walked over and took a closer look, and found that the thatch did show signs of being stepped on.

The two looked at each other and frowned. They felt something was wrong. It seemed that this road had been walked on recently.

At this time, two Jingyong soldiers also came over and found that the footprints were new. They quickly said to Chu Chenjing: "Your Highness, it seems that someone just walked here. Let me go up and investigate."

As they spoke, the two Jingyong Army soldiers had already walked up. Standing on top, they shouted to Chu Chenjing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this path leads to the middle of the mountain and directly to the top of the mountain. They must have escaped from here."

When Ding Biao heard this, he jumped up in fright and shouted, "Impossible, Impossible!" He also hurried up to see.

He stood there, looking at the path winding into the mountain, stunned, muttering to himself: "How is it possible? How is it possible? This is clearly a cliff, there is no path. When I was fetching water here, I sneaked up to take a look, I remember it clearly."

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao also walked up and couldn't help but smile when they saw the path.

Ouyang Yunyao said to the others, "Ding Biaoshui is right. There was originally a formation here that made people mistake it for a cliff."

"Oh, just like the wall in the villa." Ding Biao thought that the wall of their villa was also set up with an array, and it looked like a cliff from the outside.

"Your Highness, the people here are really cunning." said a soldier of the Jingyong Army.

"Sir, I was deceived." Ding Biao said quickly.

After saying this, he stared blankly at the path, his eyes full of disappointment. "My revenge! My revenge! How can I avenge myself?" He squatted down and cried loudly.

Ouyang Yunyao looked at him who was crying and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you avenge yourself."

"Really?" Ding Biao stood up and looked at them.

Chu Chenjing looked at this silly man who was working for someone else even though his family was killed, and responded with a bit of sadness, "Yeah."

Then he looked at the trampled thatch on the path and asked Ding Biao, "Do you know how many people originally lived in this valley?"

Ding Biao quickly replied: "Sir, I have been here several times and I estimate that there are at least a thousand people here."

Chu Chenjing nodded slightly, asked the two Jingyong Army soldiers to take Ding Biao down the mountain first, and ordered them to notify General Ning to come over.

After they left, Ouyang Yunyao looked at the path. She said to Chu Chenjing in confusion, "Ah Jing, Ding Biao said there were so many people, but from the footprints I can see, it seems that not many people walked there."

Chu Chenjing nodded in agreement: "Yaoyao, I think so too. They deliberately opened the formation here to let us see this path. It may be to cover up something."

"Yes." Then Ouyang Yunyao pointed to the pond by the waterfall opposite and said, "Ajing, look at that pond."

"Yaoyao, do you suspect there's something fishy about that pond?"

Ouyang Yunyao nodded affirmatively: "That's right, didn't Ding Biao and the others say that the water in the pond never overflowed even when the water level was high in the summer?"

Chu Chenjing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yaoyao, now that you mention it, the pool is indeed a little strange. The pool is only that high and not too big. If there is too much water, it will definitely overflow."

"Well, look, there doesn't seem to be any signs of water overflowing around the pond." Ouyang Yunyao said as he observed.

Chu Chenjing also looked at the waterfall and the pool on the opposite side. Suddenly, Chu Chenjing seemed to have discovered something and pointed to one place and said, "Yaoyao, look over there, behind the rock where the pool is against the cliff."

They were standing on a higher ground, overlooking the pool below. From here they could see what was behind the rocks.

"Empty!" Ouyang Yunyao said in surprise.

"Well, let's go find out." Chu Chenjing said, hugging Ouyang Yunyao's slender waist, and with a shake of his body, he flew and landed on the huge rock leaning against the cliff beside the pool.

As soon as they landed on the rock, an amazing sight appeared before their eyes: a waterfall poured down the cliff, and there was nothing behind the huge rock; there was actually a hidden cave on the back of the rock.

The water of the waterfall seems to pour into the pool, but in fact, more of it falls into the cave behind the rock. People standing below cannot notice it because the rock they are standing on is also where the waterfall splashes.

In addition, there is a narrow pass next to the rock, where the excess water flows away.

"Oh, no wonder they don't let those minions get close to here, they are afraid that they will discover the secret." Ouyang Yunyao sighed with sudden enlightenment.

"Yeah, that's true," Chu Chenjing nodded in agreement.

"Ajing, this cave looks quite deep. Could there be an underground river underneath? Or are there other passages underneath." Ouyang Yunyao guessed.

"It's very likely, Yaoyao, look at this edge of the pond, there seem to be many footprints." Chu Chenjing said, pointing to the ground beside the pond.

"It seems that they might have escaped from here. I wonder where this will lead to?" Ouyang Yunyao pondered, and his mind emerged with their China in the 23rd century. At that time, they discovered many ancient caves, some naturally formed and some man-made. Some of them have become tourist attractions.

She had been to Huanglong Cave in western Hunan before. Boats could be sailed in the cave, and there was a large hall, as well as upper and lower caves. She had also heard that there were caves nearby that were tens of kilometers long, but she had never been there. If that was the case, they would have really run away.

At this moment, Ning Zhenwu and Han Fengli hurried over. Han Fengli saw water dripping from the two of them and asked curiously, "Ajing, Little Princess, what secret have you discovered?"
