withered prosperity

Under Mu Huaijin's request, Yue Liuyi turned the statue and the pillar seven times.

After she let go of her hand, the bracket sounded again, and the statue began to rotate and slowly descend, and the red liquid at the bottom was quickly emptied.

"The person who designed this dark room at the beginning was really a genius, who would have thought that there would be a second floor below?" Yue Liuyi jumped down and stood beside Yan Hai: "Tell me, does the Palace Mistress know about this? "

Yan Hai didn't bother to answer her, but looked at the symbol on the pillar very intently.

The statue had already lowered to the same height as them. At this time, the ground shook again, and the place where they stood sank again.

Compared with entering the dark room on the first floor, this time the speed of descent is much faster.

There are solid and smooth rock masses all around, and as the distance from the upper layer gets farther and farther away, the surroundings become very dark, and it is estimated that it will be completely plunged into darkness in a short time.

But at this moment, the pillar suddenly emitted a dim green light. Although it was not too bright, it was roughly able to allow people to see the surrounding scene clearly.

"This color is really scary." Yue Liuyi looked around with a miserable green face: "Master Mu, how far down does this thing have to go to see the second darkroom?"

"I can't say that well." Mu Huaijin replied with a wry smile: "I just followed the record, and it wrote the method of opening the darkroom, and it didn't go into such detail."

Yue Liuyi looked uneasy.

"I always feel that something is wrong." She said to Yan Hai: "Yue Cuiwei, what do you mean by staring at this pillar?"

Yan Hai had indeed been staring at that pillar, and as the ground sank, more pillars and characters were revealed.

"Don't make noise." He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, the afterimages of those characters danced randomly in the darkness when he pressed his eyes.

Yun Ji's cool hands covered his eyes, which made him feel much better.

"Your eyes..." Yun Ji was about to ask a question, when suddenly his feet shook, and he quickly stretched out his arms to hug Yan Hai.

Just like before, Ji Kuo made a biting sound.

"It's here!" Yue Liuyi shouted.

Everyone waited with bated breath, but time passed bit by bit, but nothing happened.

"And then?" Yue Liuyi withdrew her raised hands and stared at Mu Huaijin: "Master Mu, where is the dark room?"

At this moment, they were already very far away from the upper floor, and they could only see a faint spot of light when they looked up.

"I've said it all, the record only mentions the method of opening the darkroom."

"Your ancestor didn't trick us, right?" Yue Liuyi laughed, "If this mechanism doesn't work, going up from this place will be like going up to the sky."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a squeak above her head.

Looking up, the light spot representing the upper layer suddenly disappeared.

So far, they have been trapped in a completely enclosed space.

"Hey! This is interesting!" Yue Liuyi pulled out her remaining sword, and pressed it against Mu Huaijin's throat. "Master Mu, stop playing. I can't stand being frightened. If my hand shakes accidentally and pokes a few holes in you, it's not too good, is it?"

"The world is a lesson, I really don't know anything!" Mu Huaijin's flustered expression did not seem to be fake.

"Where did this come from?" Yan Hai asked suddenly.

He was referring to the bottom of the pillar.

When the mechanism was activated for the second time, the red liquid accumulated there had been completely emptied.

But at some point, the red liquid not only filled the space silently, but also kept rising up.

"What is this?" Yue Liuyi grabbed Mu Huaijin by the collar and dragged him to the side of the red liquid. "Master Mu, this is not a trap that wants to kill us!"

"Where do you start with this? Aren't I also standing here?" Mu Huaijin yelled, "I don't have any deep hatred with the three of you. What's the point of doing this!"

Yan Hai squatted down, trying to put his hand into the red liquid, but Yun Ji stopped him halfway.

Yun Ji put his hand into the red liquid, put some in the palm of his hand, and placed it in front of Yan Hai.

Yan Hai took a closer look and found that the red liquid in Yun Ji's palm was just a faint crimson color.

Moreover, this liquid is not only free of impurities, but also has a faint floral fragrance.

"I haven't seen this thing before." He said to Yun Ji.

Yun Ji poured out what was left in his hands, and then pulled him back a little.

At this time, the liquid overflowing from the hollow had already spread to the insteps of everyone, and it seemed to be rising faster and faster.

"I'll go up and have a look." Yun Ji looked up and said, "Maybe we can stop the water."

"Be careful." Yan Hai told him.

Yun Ji nodded, and jumped up.

When he exhausted his strength, he stepped on the wall to use his strength to climb up, and soon reached the highest place.

"Hey! You said that Pavilion Master Yun's ability..." Yue Liuyi exhaled, but his tone couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy.

Yun Ji's five fingers were like hooks, digging into the solid stone wall, and just hung there.

"How is it?" Yue Liuyi asked loudly as the three people below looked up at him.

When Yunji's sword energy collided with the top, there was an unusually piercing golden sound.

"It seems that something else is inlaid to seal the exit." Yan Hai said solemnly: "If Yunji can't even open it, then there must be no way to force it open."

While speaking, Yun Ji leaped into the air again and landed on the statue of the strange fish.

He grabbed the fins and tried to turn it again, but obviously failed too.

At this time, the red water was almost up to everyone's waist.

"The water is rushing fast."

"Nonsense!" Yue Liuyi said anxiously, "Yue Cuiwei, quickly think of a solution."

"What can I do? This place is airtight." He asked back, "Don't you feel a little stuffy?"

As soon as he said it, Yueliuyi and Mu Huaijin really felt that their breathing was not smooth.

"Then aren't we going to be smothered to death?"

Yun Ji fell silently.

"There is no way to get out from above, and the mechanism is already stuck." He frowned slightly. "We're stuck."

"Yue Cuiwei, what should we do?" Yue Liuyi was almost panicked to death.

At this time, the water had already reached Yan Hai's chest, Yun Ji put his arms around his waist, and lifted him up a little.

"The water surges very fast." Yan Hai said again.

"Yes." Yun Ji nodded: "If you follow this speed, there must be a big water outlet."

The two of them looked at the bottom of the pillar at the same time, where the red liquid first appeared.

Yue Liuyi finally came to his senses.

"Wait!" But the anxiety in her heart was not relieved by this news, but worsened: "Even if there is a big water outlet down there, we don't know where it leads to!"

"There's still time." As the water level rose higher and higher, Yan Hai's expression became slightly nervous. "Before this place is filled, you can think of other ways."

"Can you stop bullying me? What can I do?" Yue Liuyi rolled his eyes: "Okay, it's up to you! What are you talking about, I just shut up!"

"Master Mu, do you know how to swallow water?"

"I have been able to do it since I was a child, and my water quality is not bad." Mu Huaijin leaned against the wall and floated up a little.

"We have to wait until this place is filled before we can dive into the water." He took the initiative to put his arms around Yunji's neck, breathing heavily: "Yueliuyi is very water-resistant, you can follow her."

Mu Huaijin nodded.

"Yueliuyi..."

Before he could say anything, Yue Liuyi kept nodding her head like pecking rice.

"From now on, let's not talk, don't waste our breath."

Although Yan Hai's face was unclear under the green light, everyone could feel his nervousness and bewilderment.
