Chapter 188, Hidden Dragon Spring
"Tide!" Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun shouted together, "What tide?"
"Tide?" Xiang An's eyes also lit up, "You mean this day is the end of the month, when the tide is at its lowest. Are you saying that when the tide recedes on this day, the Hidden Dragon Spring that is usually hidden under the sea will be revealed?"
"The changes in tides are very complicated," Qingshi said. "Different places may have different tidal ranges, and the time does not necessarily have to be the maximum at the full moon and the minimum at the end of the month. But combined with the situation here, I think what Brother Xiang said is very possible. .”
"Then we still have to wait until three days before we can find the spring?" Shen Jiayun asked.
"That's not true," Qingshi said with a smile, "As long as the spring is there, it doesn't matter whether it is exposed to the sea or not. I just used the days set by the indigenous people to further judge the possibility of the spring being under the sea. Now it seems possible It's very big. The indigenous people pay great attention to sacrificial rituals and may have to wait three days for the spring to emerge from the sea before holding a grand ceremony to retrieve the treasure. Why should we care about this?"
"Yes!" Xiang An said excitedly, "Let's go to the beach to look for it now. I just checked the time. Today's low tide will occur in less than an hour."
"Let's go!" Duan Wutian said excitedly, "Let's go look for it now."
"Brother Qi, wait a minute," Qingshi said with a smile, "You three should be familiar with this island. Although this island is small, the coastline is not less than 180 miles. We can completely analyze the coastline and narrow the search scope. .”
"That's right! You can definitely narrow the scope." Xiang An said, "The west of the island is a large volcanic debris beach, there should be no springs there, and the north is where the volcanic lava enters the sea, which is also impossible. The east and south are reefs Lin Li, I see that those reefs are not volcanic rocks. It should be that the seabed here is very shallow. When the volcano raised, it pushed the stone plates on the seabed out of the water, thus forming that large reef. We should go to the southeast to look for it."
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "We are divided into two groups. Brother Xiang and I are together, and Brother Qi and you are with Jia Yun. We will look along the coast from both ends to the middle."
It is already early in the morning. When you come out of the crater, you can see that the energy barrier no longer exists. Of course, this is because Qingshi and the others completely dismantled the Xuanzhen hub and put all the precious materials into the storage spiritual weapon. The sun is about to rise, and there is enough light on the island. You can see that the sea water has receded very low, revealing large swaths of tidal flats.
Coming out of the crater was the west side. Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun immediately launched their flying armors and flew towards the south. With their family background, it was natural to get these things.
Qingshi took out a flying suit and threw it to Xiang An and said, "Put on your flying suit. We should have a better view when we fly in the air to look for him."
Xiang An moved his lips a few times, and finally sighed: "Brother Qingshi is so righteous, Xiang An is ashamed! From now on, if I harm you again, I will be like a pig or a dog... Can you?" Give me back all my things?"
"No!" Qingshi said firmly, "At least not now! Let's go."
Soon they arrived at the beach. Qingshi saw that the east coast was full of large rocks exposed to the sea. Xiang An said: "Today's low tide is indeed very low. I am afraid it is the lowest I have ever seen."
The two of them flew three feet apart and five feet high in the air, flying slowly south along the coastline while carefully searching for unusual places below. Less than half an hour later, Qingshi saw Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun flying over. The four of them met in the air and said they didn't find anything unusual.
Qingshi thought about it and said: "Maybe we should go further into the sea. Most of the springs are still submerged in the water and not exposed."
"What do you think that is?" Shen Jiayun suddenly pointed to the sea to the southeast and said.
Everyone turned around and saw that there seemed to be a lot of waves surging in the water near the coast on that side.
"Go over and have a look!" Duan Wutian couldn't wait to fly over there. Qingshi and the other three people also followed.
Soon I flew closer and saw the sea water surging, and it seemed like some sea beasts were flapping. The bluestone flew straight upward, and soon reached an altitude of more than thirty feet. At this time, when I looked down carefully, I saw hundreds of saber-toothed ghost sharks swimming in the shallow water on the coast. Among them Although some jumped out of the water from time to time, most of them just kept swimming underwater. Hundreds of ghost sharks circled around a dark underwater hole, forming a shark vortex.
Xiang An and the other three flew to Qingshi. Qingshi pointed at the black hole in the center of the ghost shark group and said, "That! It should be the Hidden Dragon Spring!"
"Well!" Xiang An said excitedly, "Most likely, these ghost sharks must have felt the spiritual energy in the spring and circled around it. Let's find a way to get in. I know why the indigenous people need a lot of cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the Sea Dragon King. Sacrifice, they are trying to lure away the ghost sharks."
"Do we also need to lure them away?" Shen Jiayun asked.
"Just kill them all!" Duan Wutian said.
"We are profound formation masters!" Xiang An looked at Duan Wutian with contempt, "Does it need to be so simple and crude? Brother Qingshi, it will be no problem for you to build a profound formation to drain away the sea water! How about you return my belongings? I, I can set up the formation."
"Look!" Shen Jiayun said with good eyesight, pointing into the distance, "The indigenous spaceship seems to be coming."
Sure enough, only a dozen small airships were seen flying from the south. Qingshi said: "Don't panic, these natives should be watching us at dawn." After saying that, he took out a storage ring and threw it to Xiang An and said, "I will arrange the mysterious formation to drain the sea water and expose the spring. Brother Xiang You put a concealment formation outside my formation."
"Okay!" Xiang An replied excitedly, array within array is his Xiang family's specialty.
Qingshi took out thirty-six formation flags and began to set up the formation. This set of earth-level high-grade formation magic weapons came in use for the first time. Xiang An and Shen Jiayun's eyes widened when they saw it.
Not long after, Qingshi's profound formation was ready. Qingshi waved his hand gently, and thirty-six formation flags formed a five-foot-diameter cover out of thin air to cover the black hole beneath his feet. The cover was cone-shaped and consisted of four layers of formation flags, with the bottom one forming. Circle eighteen roots, the second circle nine, the third circle six, and the top circle three. The moment the array flag entered the sea, a whirlpool was formed with the black spring as the center to push away the sea water. The ghost sharks began to flap desperately, and the sea seemed to be boiling. Soon, a large waterless hole with a diameter of three feet and a depth of three feet was revealed with the spring as the center. Then, the concealment formation arranged by Xiang An with formation sticks has been deployed to cover the outside of the bluestone formation. At this time, from a distance outside, all that can be seen here is a calm sea. Xiang An was still uneasy and said, "I'm going to get something to attract these native barbarians, so that they don't get too close and find out anything." After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the northwest quickly.
Qingshi asked Duan Shen and the two of them to fly down to the spring. They saw the sea water standing all around. From time to time, some ghost sharks wanted to penetrate the barrier and pounce in. Qingshi said: "Brother Qi, pay attention. If anyone comes in, kill them immediately." .”
"Yes!" Duan Wutian immediately took out his thick sun gun as a warning.
Qingshi observed the spring carefully and saw that the dark spring was roughly round in shape and less than six feet in diameter. There was nothing special about it except the light green water gurgling out. Qingshi squatted down and dipped his fingers into the spring water, sniffed it with his nose, and said, "Yes, it has spiritual energy, but it is also highly poisonous."
"Poisonous?" Shen Jiayun asked, "Then why were these ghost sharks not poisoned to death?"
"I think these ghost sharks are attracted by the spring water that contains spiritual energy and toxins," Qingshi said. "Most of them are not only not afraid of the toxins, but they also like it very much."
"Oh!" Shen Jiayun and Duan Wutian both nodded. This situation is not uncommon, and with their knowledge, they understood it immediately.
Qingshi took out a fist-sized ball and patted it gently. The ball immediately emitted bright white light. It was a one-time lighting device. Qingshi gently threw it into the spring, and saw the ball slowly moving toward the spring. After sinking for about four or five feet, the light of the white light ball suddenly dimmed. Qingshi looked carefully and found that the wall of the vertical well spring was about five feet deep, and there was a large space further down. , after the light ball entered the large space, the light naturally faded. Then, the light ball deviated from the straight line and sank, drifting to an unknown place, and the well darkened again and became pitch black.
"Shall we go down?" Duan Wutian asked.
"Of course," Qingshi said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? Do you have a magic weapon that can shield the poisonous water?"
"I have a piece of black gold armor," Duan Wutian said, "It can block poisonous water, but I estimate it can only block it for an hour at most."
"I don't have such a treasure." Shen Jiayun said.
At this time, Xiang Anfei came back and landed in front of a few people and said with a smile: "I set up some fireworks and light and shadow in the northwest, and those barbarians went that way. What do you think? Let's go down!"
Qingshi had no choice but to take out a storage ring again and throw it to Xiang An. Xiang An was overjoyed and took out a cloak and wrapped it around himself. The cloak immediately wrapped Xiang An tightly, and then the cloak became invisible. Duan Wutian wondered: "Isn't this Archie's cloak? You have a lot of good stuff, right?"
Xiang An smiled and said: "How can my things compare with Brother Qingshi! Besides, all my things were confiscated by Brother Qingshi..."
"I returned all your weapons and equipment to you," Qingshi glared, "What! Still not satisfied?"
"Thank you, brother Qingshi!" Xiang An said with a smile, "If we can get the Xuanwei number..."
"Shut up!" Qingshi shouted.
"Yes, yes! I know Brother Qingshi will return it to me sooner or later!" Xiang An was still smiling.
Qingshi activated the barrier function of Xuanyuan Armor, and saw an energy barrier extending up and down from his chest, instantly wrapping his whole body in a transparent energy wall. Qingshi was originally not afraid of poisonous springs, but with this barrier, his clothes would not get wet by the water, allowing people to move more freely in the water, and allowing them to communicate better.
Duan Wutian shook his head and said: "It's really a good treasure, much better than my Xuanjin Armor."
"My cloak is not as good as Qingshi's armor!" Xiang An said, "Old Duan, am I right?"
In fact, their armor also creates a layer of energy barrier, but the effect and duration are incomparable.
"If I can get the dragon beads this time!" Shen Jiayun gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I'm going to change my armor too."
"That's right!" Duan Wutian chuckled and said, "If you want a good baby, you can't just ask for it from home. You have to go out and experience yourself to find opportunities. Don't worry, Seventh Brother will definitely get you some dragon balls."
