Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 5: Kowloon Maze ([-])

The white gas sprayed out formed a cloud of water mist on the glass cover. Just when Le Wuyi wanted to check whether there was something wrong with his oxygen cylinder, a figure seemed to flash past in front of him, followed by a trace of gas leaking. The feeling of suffocation has obviously eased.

The hand stretched out behind was pinned down, and when he turned his head, it was the calm but majestic Grand Master Shen Ye.

Sure enough, there is something wrong with the oxygen cylinder?Le Wuyi showed a grateful and flattering smile, not wanting Shen Ye to ignore him, gestured him to wait where he was, but went upstream.

Le Wuyi was a little puzzled, and the moment he looked up, he was surprised to find that the sky was pitch black. It was obviously water, but it was as thick as a wall painted black. Did they come down from there just now?

Perhaps it was because he could see things again, so the previous severe cold and darkness seemed to be a dream at this moment, extremely illusory.But the darkness above his head cannot be ignored, reminding Le Wuyi of his previous panic and suffocation.

Shen Ye's figure quickly entered the darkness, and the strange thing was that as he approached, a gap was opened in the black compartment, and it closed again after Shen Ye completely entered.

It looked like a living thing, opening its mouth to swallow people.

This Jiulongchi is really weird enough.Although Le Wuyi had long been mentally prepared for this, he still felt a little worried when he saw Shen Ye's figure being swallowed up.

But Shen Ye didn't need Le Wuyi's worries, but Huang Jue's group attracted Le Wuyi's attention again.Because Huang's group, who were supposed to be leading the way, hovered not far from him, some of them got close together, and it seemed that something went wrong.

Le Wuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the darkness behind the person surrounded in the middle?He couldn't help but swim closer, only to find that there was a lot of waterweed-like things wrapped around the oxygen tank, and the companions around him were obviously helping him clear it up.

Before the man in the middle began to convulse and struggle, the water plants were finally cleared away, and the long black ribbons floated away, which looked like human hair from a distance, and sank into the dark pool below.

Le Wuyi frowned, he remembered Shen Ye said that this pond was too clean, so where did these aquatic plants come from?Judging from his previous situation, he was definitely bound by the aquatic plants, but he didn't remember that he had touched such things as aquatic plants.But to get entangled to the point where the switch of the oxygen cylinder is turned off, shouldn't it be at least the level that can only be achieved by rolling in a pile of water plants?

They have no feeling but are all entangled by aquatic plants, so there should be living creatures in that darkness, can they entangle these things without anyone noticing?Le Wuyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it turned out that the so-called ghosts didn't drag his feet in front of him, but instead kept sneaking behind him.

Should I thank it for not directly strangling my own neck?Le Wuyi began to think about something.

But in fact, there is no need to thank that unknown thing, because it obviously doesn't have that ability.

Shen Ye is different from Le Wuyi. Le Wuyi couldn't see anything before, not even the hand stretched out in front of him, but Shen Ye was different. He could clearly see something entangled around him, and then The cute-faced Le Wuyi ignorantly let the other party pester him thoroughly.

For Le Wuyi's safety, Shen Ye first sent him to the next floor, and then went back to the first floor to see what could survive there.

The darkness in other people's eyes was nothing to Shen Ye, and he moved forward slowly until he reached the edge of Nine Dragon Pool.It is still a hard pool wall, but it is a pity that it is no longer as smooth as it was in the daytime at this moment. There are countless aquatic plants attached to it, and a thick layer sways with the water.Those water plants swayed at will, but as Shen Ye approached, they all suddenly turned around, and came straight towards Shen Ye as if they had thoughts.

The originally soft aquatic plants are as straight as sharp swords at this moment, as if they want to break away from the pool wall. What's even more strange is that the length of about one meter has gradually become longer, as if they can be stretched infinitely. The posture of not giving up at night keeps growing.

Shen Ye didn't wait for the so-called water plants to get entangled, but swam over by himself, and then entangled him in an instant with a big push of the black silk. At the moment when he was dragged to the wall of the pool, Shen Ye finally saw the source of the water plants: There are human heads, which cover the entire wall of the pool, with their mouths wide open as if roaring silently, with painful expressions, but they all look like men.

Looking carefully, although the eyes of those heads are protruding and bloodshot, they can turn occasionally, but their expressions are stiff and their mouths can't be closed.Those water plants are naturally their hair, but it is obviously a man's rigid facial features but paired with infinitely soft long hair, it looks a bit weird.

Those hairs were entwined unsteadily as if with will, and the heads were clearly screaming in pain, yet Shen Ye could still see the unwillingness, pain and...excitement in their eyes that couldn't be ignored.

"Hmph, do you want me to be your companion?" Shen Ye raised the corners of his mouth with a mocking look on his face, "Only by you?"

**********

The temperature of the water in the pool on the next floor was normal. Le Wuyi stayed where he was and waited for his grand master to come back. At some point, Huang Jue came to him and made gestures with him. It was only after the shape of his lips that he realized that he was asking where Shen Ye had gone.Le Wuyi pointed to the top, and then saw Huang Jue's face was a little unsightly.

Apparently Huang Jue wanted to go directly to the bottom of the pool. As for why the upper part was pitch black, why the upper part couldn't see through the light, but he could see things again on this floor, he wasn't going to delve into it.

However, Huang Jue's dissatisfaction did not last long, because Shen Ye's figure appeared in front of him again, the still flat black curtain suddenly cracked a hole, and then his body slowly pierced through the thick water layer.

But the strange thing is what Shen Ye looked like when he went there, he didn't see anything in his hand when he came back, it's a pity that there is no communication tool now, otherwise Le Wuyi, who is infinitely curious, will definitely send a lot of questions.

Master, have you seen anything interesting?

Why are there aquatic plants on Taishifu? Isn't it very clean?

Grand Master, it shouldn't be the same as before, right?

It's a pity that there was a layer of glass separated, Shen Ye completely ignored the fiery gaze.

Seeing that Huang Jue was beside Le Wuyi, Shen Ye came close and saw the other party gesturing downward. Judging from Huang Jue's gestures and expression, Shen Ye knew that the other party couldn't wait.

The place below where they stayed is not as pure black as before, but the dark bottom of the pool can't be seen very clearly, but they are all going to find the entrance of the ancient Dian Kingdom, go down now and wait a while Going down makes no difference.

Shen Ye agreed to Huang Jue's request to set off now. It was useless to stay here, so the group dived again.

This time there was no accident, the water in the pool became very clean as in the daytime, and no other living things attacked, but there was no flat ground below, and the Jiulong Pool, which was clearly less than five meters during the day, stretched as if at this moment. endless.

Time goes by, how many meters have they dived?one hundred?two hundred?Or 500 meters?

At the bottom of the pool where there is no sound, you can only dive continuously mechanically. You can't hear the sound and you can't speak. There is a kind of silence that can drive people crazy.

Just when Le Wuyi's patience was almost exhausted, the bottom part finally saw the hazy sense of reality.

It was gray at first, and became clearer as it got closer, but the shock in my heart was gradually revealed as it got closer.

Is that really the bottom of Jiulongchi?It was originally thought that the tiny sand grains gradually turned into huge stones crawling on the bottom of the pool, but now, they are still far away from arriving.

Can such a small Jiulong Pool have such a wide pool bottom?Is what I saw and heard during the day a dream?This is the doubt of the two young people who have been in the water during the day.

The hazy gray finally became clear, but it was a platform that was so wide that you couldn't see the edge.The stone floor tiles, even after being soaked in pool water for thousands of years, still have a clear texture, and a group of people are suspended above the platform, as small as a dozen black dots.

"Meow meow... so handsome?" Le Wuyi was dumbfounded.The platform in front of me is like a planned flat chessboard. There are some figures painted on those floor tiles, but they are ten golden crows.

The most striking thing is not those figures, but the nine stone dragons crouching on the platform.The gorgeous dragon scales carved by knives, the huge body, and the five claws on it are holding a dragon ball, which shines brightly in the water. Focus on the moment when you open your eyes and soar.

The nine stone dragons have different shapes, but they are arranged vertically in nine rows. The dragon's head points to the east, but the shape of the dragon's head is not clear because of the distance.

Huang Jue looked at the nine stone dragons trembling with excitement, it must be here, the entrance must be here!He turned around eagerly, gestured to the Huang clan members beside him, pointed at the nine stone dragons, and assigned people.Shen Ye swam forward at this time, Huang Jue was not overly excited after seeing him, and handed over the stone dragon on the left in the middle to Shen Ye and Le Wuyi to investigate.

A group of people dispersed, Huang Jue, Xiao Meng and a young man from the Huang family were in charge of checking the stone dragon in the middle, Shen Ye and Le Wuyi were on the left side of it, and the remaining people were not enough, except for the three dragons on the far side. Shi Long, there is only one person in charge of the others.

Le Wuyi followed Shen Ye and dived to Shilong's side. The closer he got, the more he felt the meticulousness and uniqueness of this saber skill. Refined and elegant.

Shen Ye caressed the dragon's body, as if he was feeling its texture, and glanced at the distant dragon's head, but frowned slightly.

Le Wuyi followed Shen Ye's gaze. The huge dragon body seemed to stretch for thousands of miles, but the farthest distance was a black hole, and the dragon's head was hidden in the darkness.

For some reason, I was looking forward to the Le Wuyi carving of the dragon head, but after looking at the indistinct darkness for a long time, I felt that something was wrong. The original excitement gradually faded away, and I didn’t have the mood to find out. up.

Is this a deterrent, or is it... instinct?

Without waiting for joy, Shen Ye began to swim forward along the dragon's body. Layers of dragon scales were spread out, which was extremely beautiful. When it reached the dragon's claws, the dragon ball was made of jade of unknown material. Can shine in the dark.The light comes out from the center of the jade, and you can see strips of jade lines in the crystal, and the light group gathered in the center makes it even more beautiful.

After going forward for more than ten meters, when he came to the second dragon claw, Shen Ye stopped suddenly. Le Wuyi leaned forward and found that the other party was staring at the dragon ball in a daze.

Le Wuyi also stared at the dragon ball carefully. The same jade with no visible material can also emit light. Is there any difference?

Wait, it seems, is it a bit strange?

Le Wuyi stared at the dragon ball for a closer look, only to realize that there was something wrong with the light. Looking back, he could see the first dragon ball exuding emerald green light, and the second one was the same, but there seemed to be something wrong in the green. Something was mixed in.

Shen Ye naturally stopped because of this, he stroked the dragon ball carefully, the surface was smooth and there was no abruptness, but the color was indeed wrong.

While Shen Ye was thinking, Le Wuyi pulled it around the entire Dragon Ball, fumbled here and there, but found nothing, and then he just lay down on the Dragon Ball and knocked there.

The knocking sound of "dongdong" was inaudible because it was in the water, but at the moment when Le Wuyi moved his body, Shen Ye noticed something was wrong.

Shen Ye stretched out his hand and threw Le Wuyi out with lightning speed, because he was in the water, and he didn't worry that the other party would get hurt, so when Le Wuyi came to his senses, he was already on the ground. Shilong is next to him.

Looking at Shen Ye who still looked serious through the glass cover, Le Wuyi suddenly felt heavily hurt.

Grand master, don't you want to deal with your disciples and grandchildren like this?

Le Wuyi's scorching gaze could be clearly felt even through a layer of water, but Shen Ye didn't care about him now.

Shen Ye carefully touched the dragon claw on the dragon ball, one of the fingers was carved strangely, as if two dragon fingers were joined together, and it seemed that the excess stone was not removed, so in this exquisite stone dragon It looks particularly disproportionate.

Gripping the abrupt dragon finger, Shen Ye didn't hesitate, but with a force in his hand, he broke off half of it under Le Wuyi's surprised eyes.

At the moment when the dragon finger was split, a piece of red quicksand slowly flowed out from the dragon finger, as if Shi Long was bleeding from an injury.

As the red quicksand slowly flowed, the color of the dragon ball gradually changed. The original emerald green gradually turned into fiery red, from light to deep. The light clusters in it seemed to be stained with spirituality at this moment. Fire generally jumps in it.

Le Wuyi swallowed his saliva, should it be said that he is worthy of being the grand master?But Shen Ye couldn't hear his sigh at this time, and didn't give him a chance to rest on the ground.

Pulling up Le Wuyi who was in an upside-down posture, Shen Ye pushed him out irresistibly to convey the message. One of the stone dragons has such a mechanism, so maybe the others can also be tried.
