The wooden submarine was getting deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were already pitch black, not knowing how deep it had sunk.
At this moment, the leading woman laughed, “You don’t have to worry, to you outsiders, it may feel very dangerous, but in reality, this is just a normal path of entry and exit.”
In fact, Zhang Chu really wasn’t worried either.
Although he was captured by them, if Zhang Chu really wanted to run, a Rune Sword would just directly decimate them.
However, the problem was that once they were killed, they might never know where Tang Jiu was.
That was why Zhang Chu did not resist and wanted to enter their world to see what was going on with this Water Burial Lineage.
Besides, Zhang Chu felt that these women had no malice towards the men, neither shouting to kill, nor plotting for property, they looked like they were just greedy for a few men’s bodies.
So if a woman craves your body, you kill them with a sword?
That’s not appropriate.
Therefore, Zhang Chu just happily decided to make a trip to the Water Burial Clan to see the situation.
At this moment, Zhang Chu opened his mouth and asked, “We have a friend named Tang Jiu, was he also captured by you?”
The lead woman said, “Wrong, not captured, but invited.”
“Moreover, Tang Jiu is living well here, and now, I’m afraid that he won’t leave even if you guys just want him to.”
Zhang Chu’s few people glanced at each other with disbelief on their faces.
How could Tang Jiu say that he had come in with a mission, so he could not leave?
And at this moment, a woman said, “Earlier, there was a tiger demon chasing Tang Jiu, so Tang Jiu came to the side of the Burial Lake to hide from the fierce tiger.”
“That tiger demon didn’t dare to approach the Burial Lake, and we saw that Tang Jiu was a man, so we received him into our Water Burial Clan, and now, he has already adapted to the life of our Water Burial Clan.”
As he spoke, Zhang Chu suddenly noticed that there was some faint light coming from the bottom of the lake.
Thus, Zhang Chu looked towards the bottom of the lake.
A light greenish light seemed to be coming from the Underworld, and it looked as if it was green and scary there.
And the leading woman said, “Almost there, there, is the entrance to our Water Burial lineage.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu could also see that there was actually a huge pit, and it was not dark inside the pit, instead, there was a turquoise light passing out.
The wooden submarine entered that underground pit and continued to sink.
After sinking for a while, the space of that pit began to get bigger, and then, the wooden submarine began to sail in one direction.
After sailing for a few minutes, the wooden submarine began to rise again.
This time, the rising time was extremely short the wooden submarine even directly surfaced.
“It’s here!”The lead woman said.
At this moment, the hatch of the wooden submarine opened, and the women once again took out a few mysterious leaves and threw them on the surface of the water as pedals.
Zhang Chu and the others also followed the women out of the boat.
After coming out, the crowd was shocked beyond measure.
Here, it was actually a huge underground pit, and raising their heads, they could see that the roof of the cave was dozens of metres high, and it wasn’t depressing at all.
Moreover, the roof of the cave was covered with green, luminescent type mosses, making this underground cave filled with light within.
The crowd went up to the shore and found that the distance was surprisingly wide and boundless, and they couldn’t see the end of it at a glance.
On the contrary, the surface of the water where the crowd was, seemed to be only a drop in size, that is, a small pool of water, in which only a few wooden submarines were parked.
The surrounding ground was covered with all kinds of strange fruits.
A woman casually bent down and picked a golden-coloured fruit, placing it in her mouth and chewing on it.
Zhang Chu and the others instantly understood that this piece of earth, was their food area, and these fruits, were enough to feed the women living underground.
At this time, Zhang Chu asked, “Your place, how big is it?”
The leading woman laughed, “There are 300,000 of us underground!”
“So many people!”Zhang Chu was surprised.
Then, Zhang Chu pointed at the wooden submarine, “But, with so many of you, is it enough to have only these few wooden boats?”
The woman smiled, “Of course it’s enough, in the Water Burial Clan, most people will never leave this world in their lifetime, this is our home.”
“Apart from a few of us at the top, everyone else, throughout their lives, will live in this peaceful and tranquil world, carefree.”
Zhang Chu instantly said, “This is really a peaceful world that is isolated from the world!”
“Of course!”The lead woman said, “However, our Water Burial lineage has its own troubles.”
“What troubles?”Zhang Chu asked.
At this moment, the leading woman said, “In our lineage, the yin is strong and the yang is weak, and there are only two thousand or so men, and the rest, are all women.”
“Ah?”
Zhang Chu’s few people finally understood why the lead woman said that the Water Burial Clan did not welcome women.
Emotionally, this was a Daughter Kingdom that lived underground!
“How come?”Zhang Chu asked.
The lead woman shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“Could it be that women in your world have a hard time giving birth to male dolls?”Zhang Chu asked.
“That’s not true.”The lead woman said, “In fact, there are still quite a lot of women giving birth to male dolls, but in our Water Burial lineage, as if we were cursed, most male dolls do not live past the age of three after they are born.”
“There are only a very few male dolls that can occasionally live past the age of three, but most of them are very weak and even difficult to cultivate.”
Lei Bufan asked at once, “So, you guys are short of men?”
“Shortage, very shortage!”The lead woman said.
“Hehehe, that’s quite good.”Lei Bufan heatedly laughed.
The other few members of the team also had their eyes glowing, suddenly feeling that this Water Burial Clan, seemed quite interesting.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, asked, “Why is it difficult for all men to live past the age of three?”
The lead woman replied, “I heard that it has something to do with us guarding our tombs, the underwater world is already heavy with yin qi, and with us guarding the tombs for the dynasty, the yin qi is even more dense.”
“In this kind of environment with thick Yin Qi, we women can barely survive, but the men can easily die.”
Zhang Chu nodded his head in understanding.
At this time, the lead woman said, “Come with us and meet the world of our Water Burial Clan.”
With that, she directly led the way, walking forward along a grass and fruit field.
The crowd hurriedly followed.
The lead woman was very patient with Zhang Chu and the others, introducing an overview of this world as they walked.
“Our world is actually very large, this underground space, is rich in material goods, apart from humans, there are also some other animals that survive.”
“For example, pheasants, hares, rats, wolves, leopards, and so on.”
Zhang Chu couldn’t help but ask, “All of these wild animals, were they brought in after you discovered this world?”
The lead woman shook her head, “No. From what our ancestors said, when the older generation discovered this underground world, there were already a lot of wildlife.”
“At that time, the dynasty was very powerful, and this underwater world, was used as a tomb to bury some princes and nobles, as well as some heroes who died fighting for the dynasty.”
“Later, the entire dynasty declined.”
“The human experts were almost killed off, and the remaining weak ones, it was hard to survive from the outside world, so those who survived by chance, relocated to this underwater world together.”
“A few hundred years passed, and we became the present-day Water Burial Race.”
Zhang Chu and the others listened very attentively, and at the same time, their hearts sighed with emotion, never imagining that in this lost little world, there was still such a human community in existence.
