Legend of Xiaolong

Chapter 799 The Last Road

"The door is open!" Nangong Yin screamed, and the two stone doors opened left and right.

The seemingly perfect layout was actually just one extra sword of mine, and it was resolved.Sure enough, all the layouts in the world can hardly be truly perfect.

The door opened, and the bartender who first caught our eyes was a long river with a width of seven or eight feet, lying in front of us.

This is a wide cave with a faint brilliance, but it is not bright enough and the visibility is not high.

The light source comes from the water surface, which is the refracted light, while the real light source comes from the other side of the river.

"There!" I have already seen that cloud of light on the other side of the river, which is the seal of Heqing Shazong.

The last barrier of the Heqing Demon Sect is this underground river?
The river is clear, not stagnant.And the water is really light, you can even see the bottom of the river when you look down.However, the depth of this river is also terrifying enough, it seems to be nearly [-] meters.

Even if there is no longer any method left by He Qing Shazong in this river, once we fall into the water, the depth of the water alone is enough to kill us.

Nangong Yin held back in front of the stone gate for a long time, and finally vented his momentum: "Shall we swim directly?"

Huangfu Yi and I held him from left to right, afraid that he would roll up his sleeves and jump into the river.

"It can't be that simple. If you can swim there casually, the treasure place of the Heqing Shazong is too random." Huangfu Yi expressed his opinion.

I agree with Huangfu Yi's opinion, just those two stone gates blocked us for a long time, let alone the most dangerous last barrier.

But standing still like this is not an option. We have all reached this last step, and there is no reason to back down.

After the stone gate are rough steps, we walked down the steps and came to the river.

When the water is clear, there are no fish. This underground river is so clear that you can see the bottom, let alone fish and shrimp, there is not even a root of aquatic plants.

This in itself is abnormal, Nangong Yin picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the river, but I didn't stop it.

This guy Nangong Yin was actually interested in playing in the water. The flat stones flew close to the surface of the water, and finally fell into the water when they reached the center of the river.

Nothing happened, I followed Nangong Yin's example and picked up a stone, then stood on the bank of the river and threw it down.

The stone fell into the water, splashing water.Because the water is clear, I can see the stones falling slowly under the water.

"Is there really no danger?" I was a little dazed, and finally I even lay down on the bank and took some water with my hands and splashed it on the ground.

Although I didn't dare to drink it, it really looked like ordinary clear water.

I began to wonder: "Could it be that we are thinking too much? This is already the most original place of the Heqing Demon Sect. Only the core figures of the Heqing Demon Sect can open the stone gate and enter here. Just find a way to cross the river?"

Nangong Yin also squatted on the bank and washed his face without hesitation. I thought it was too late to stop him.But when he wiped the water off his face, nothing happened.

It seems that we really thought of it ourselves, and our worries are unfounded.

But now there is one more thing before us, that is how to get to the other side?
Although we have verified that there is no problem with the river water, the river is too wide, and there are only clusters of dim light on the other side, which allows us to see the specific situation clearly.

In fact, I still feel that it is not that simple. There may be danger in such a dark place under the lights.If it weren't for the Heqing Shazong's direct lineage who knew everything about it, they might have stumbled because they let down their vigilance at the last moment.

"We try not to go into the water as much as possible. The depth of this river always makes me uneasy." Huangfu Yi raised another opinion, which was something I hadn't thought of.

If the ancestors of Heqing Shazong really only made the trap as far as Shimen, then why is the river so deep?It can even be said that the existence of this river is meaningless at all.

So we still have to be cautious and plan to reach the other side without touching the water.

"With our current cultivation base, we can only leap 20 meters at most, which is half the distance. If we want to reach the other side without getting wet, unless some of us take the initiative to jump into the water as a step." Nangong Yin will fall Don't get confused.

But if one person is sacrificed as a pedal, we still need one person to fall into the water, and we still have to face whether the person who fell into the water will be in danger, and this will not work.

There was another long silence, and at the end Nangong Yin couldn't bear it any longer: "Let's try it, I'll serve as a pedal for you two, and you can go back after taking things."

Fortunately, Nangong Yin has me and Huangfu Yi by his side, otherwise, with his temperament, he really belongs to the kind that will not live long, too impulsive.

I began to look back and forth between the three of us, trying to find a pedal, which might not necessarily require us to live, and maybe there was something that could replace it.

"This?" Huangfu Yi took out that golden armor, which made my eyes shine.

Only Huangfu Yi can keep up with the rhythm of my thinking, but this golden armor is not a mortal thing, if it is just used as a pedal, isn't it a bit of a waste?

Huangfu Yi continued to measure the river with his eyes, and analyzed: "In fact, we don't need everyone to go there, we just need to get the seal. One person is enough, the premise is that we have to bet that there is no danger on the other side. .”

We now have three pieces of golden armor. If there is no accident, we only need to step on it once in the middle of the river every time we cross the river, and there is one left.

"Even if there is real danger on the other side of the river, it may not be resolved by us with a large number of people. It is better to go alone." I also made a decision.

But Nangong Yin objected again at this time, hugging his golden armor and started yelling: "No, no, no, you want to use the golden armor as a pedal, why not step on me. These are all things we have obtained with great difficulty, just like this Stepping stones, I won't do it anyway."

"You money fanatic!" Huangfu Yi glared at Nangong Yin, but Nangong Yin was not afraid of him, and stared back.

I figured that two pieces of gold armor would be enough, and I didn't force myself, so I said to Huangfu Yi: "Leave his one, don't you know what kind of temper this guy has? It's really hard to let him lose the treasure he got." It would be better to let you pay attention to his feet."

Nangong Yin couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "Am I that kind of person? What I mean is that the gold armor of the three of us can't be lost. If you only keep one piece for me, then I might as well take mine as well." Throw it away."

Both Huangfu Yi and I understand his thoughts. Although he is greedy for treasures, he is not the kind of person who is willing to be stingy with his friends.

Nangong Yin began to suggest again: "I really think the water is fine, didn't I wash my face just now? Listen to me, I will serve as a pedal for you, and then I will swim back."

This kid is really determined, but we certainly don't want him to take risks.I patted Nangong Yin on the shoulder, and said seriously: "For a piece of armor, risk your own life, can you really do it?"

Nangong Yin still wanted to argue, but Huangfu Yi quickly snatched his golden armor away, and said impatiently: "Okay, if there is really one left, I will keep it for you. If I get something good, I will give you my share, okay?"

Nangong Yin tried a few times, but there was no chance to get back the golden armor from Huangfu Yi, so he broke the pot and said, "I'm as small as I said, and we'll share the remaining one. If there's nothing left, what you just said Is it true that you will give me your share in the future?"

"Get out!" Huangfu Yi smiled and kicked Nangong Yin, and stopped talking nonsense with him.

The atmosphere of the two people's fight gave the silence here a little warm smoke and fire. Although Nangong Yin had a heartache expression, he didn't bluff any more.

We are still short of the last verification, can the golden armor be used as a stepping stone?

The three of us squatted on the shore, took out a piece of golden armor and spread it flat on the water.

The golden armor is heavy, but because it is in human form, it makes full use of the buoyancy, so it won't sink so quickly.

I planned it in my mind, but I still had to sacrifice the golden armor.The buoyancy of such a pedal is not enough. I can't find a way to pick it up after stepping on it.

In other words, even if our strategy works, I still have to use up at least two pieces of golden armor.

"Okay, okay, this thing doesn't seem to sink so quickly, it can be used as a pedal." Nangong Yin also gave up, but he added: "However, this kind of pedal is not as solid as me? I can still use it in the water. I can entrust you with it."

Huangfu Yi and I were too lazy to argue with him anymore, and Huangfu Yi suddenly thought of other methods.

"Can we find a way to climb over it, this is a stone cave!" Huangfu Yi proposed another method.

Nangong Yin immediately fished the golden armor out of the water, shouting: "You kid finally came up with a good idea, if it was a little later, our baby would have been thrown into the water."

I took a closer look at the roof of the cave, and could only hit Nangong Yin again: "Look for yourself, the stone on it has been polished by someone, it's like a bright mirror, can you grab it?"

This is indeed a fact, there is not even a protrusion on the roof of the cave that can be grasped, it is definitely a trace of human polishing.

Huangfu Yi and I secretly glanced at each other, and did not explain to Nangong Yin.

But it occurred to both of us that the river was the last barrier.The water is [-] meters deep, and the rock wall above is smooth. This last road is only above the river.

This must be the last road deliberately left for us, but we still have to follow this road.

I sighed softly: "Heqing Shazong!"

The habit of this sect seems to be to use all kinds of weird traps, and they are also linked together.Even if we see the clues, we have to bite the bullet and move forward.
