Chapter 219, The Wrath of Poseidon
Xiang An walked to the door in two steps, stretched out his fingers and poked the forehead of the ring-bearing animal head on the left door of the stone door a few times. The animal head opened its mouth and spit out the door knocker.
Xiang An stretched out his hand to catch the door knocker, turned around and handed it to Qingshi, saying, "Take it, I haven't even seen what's inside!"
Qingshi looked at the ring, which was only more than a foot in diameter, and found that it was hung on the door like a door knocker. It looked more like a collar in his hand. After examining it with his mental power, he found that it was a very high-end storage device.
"Let's take a look together!" Qingshi said as he put his mental power into the storage space. With a thought, four items flew out and were placed on the ground in front of him.
Several people came forward to check and saw that these four items were a knife, a body armor and two secret books.
Qingshi stretched out his hand, and the knife flew up from the ground and fell into his hand. It was a six-foot-long narrow-edged knife. Qingshi took out the knife from its sheath, and saw that the blade was like a stream of autumn water, with water patterns like a spring pond blown by the wind. Flow, Qingshi praised: "What a great sword! It has both water and wind attributes. It is an absolute top-grade sword at the earth level!"
Among the few people, Xiang An was the only one who used a knife. Qingshi threw the knife to Xiang An and said, "Take it first!" Xiang An took the sword and turned it over and over with joy.
Qingshi picked up that armor again, and it was indeed a good treasure. Not only did it have strong defensive capabilities, it also integrated functions such as flight, shielding, and invisibility. It was not inferior to Qingshi's Xuanyuan Armor, and it was undoubtedly a top-grade earth-level magic weapon. Qingshi threw it to Chen Tianye.
Look at the two books again. They are both made of leather, but their contents are written in ancient characters. Qingshi threw it to Xiang An and said: "Old Xiang, take a look, what are these two secret books? They are probably very powerful martial arts, right?"
"This book is called "Water Source Kung Fu"," Xiang An flipped through it and said, "It's a Kung Fu technique. Water Kung Fu technique? This is strange. Maybe I made a mistake. I'll talk about it later. This book is called "Wind Mark Watermark" ", it should be the Feng Shui sword and martial arts skills that match this knife... Hey! Didn't you say you can understand these words?"
Qingshi smiled mysteriously.
Xiang An seemed to understand something, turned to Chen Tianye and said, "Don't you understand it too? Read a few sentences and listen!"
Chen Tianye laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I don't know a word of these ghost words. I just deceived you! As for your evil intentions, I have guessed it a long time ago, hahaha..."
"You..." Xiang An was speechless and turned to look at Qingshi, "Qingshi, you lied to me too?"
"No!" Qingshi said with a smile, "At least not entirely. I can still recognize some of the words on it, such as the word 'five'."
"You only recognize the word 'five'?" Xiang An's eyes widened.
"Who said that?" Qingshi said, "I also recognize one, two and three! It's just that I didn't see 'three' on the stone gate but saw 'five'."
"You're cruel!..." Xiang An looked like he was about to cry without tears.
"Old Xiang, you have to be kind!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Actually, you see, this knife is suitable for you to use. Only you can recognize the words in these two secret books. Aren't they all giving you an advantage?"
"Yes!" Xiang An said with a smile on his face, "I just said, those who are destined will get it. Facts have proved that I am the one who is destined..."
Before Xiang An finished speaking, he was interrupted by a dull loud noise coming from the ground. With this loud noise, the entire tomb passage and even the huge stone door shook and shook.
"What the hell!" Xiang An shouted at Duan Wutian in horror, "What the hell are you doing?"
Qingshi turned around and saw Duan Wutian standing at the right door of the stone door, holding a ring in his hand. It seemed that he had pulled out the door knocker in the mouth of the ringed animal head on the right door.
"What's wrong?" Qingshi asked, but he already guessed in his heart that it was probably Duan Wutian's insatiable greed that triggered the wrath of the Poseidon.
"Duan Tu is so greedy that he has caused great trouble!" Xiang An scolded and rushed over. He snatched the door knocker from Duan Wu Tian's hand, then stuffed it into the mouth of the beast head, trying to return it to its original place. He chanted, "O Poseidon! We didn't do it on purpose! Don't get angry!"
However, the beast-headed mouth had been violently destroyed by Duan Wutian and could not be plugged back in. The shaking in the ground did not stop due to Xiang An's prayers, but became more and more violent.
"Duan Bald, you have such a stupid brain?" Chen Tianye scolded, "Didn't we agree to take the treasure and leave? Why do you still want to break into the door and rob the tomb? You fucking want money rather than your life!"
"Who wants to break into the door and rob the tomb!" Duan Wutian shouted, "I saw that there were only four treasures, and I thought that the fifth one must be alone in this door knocker, so I wanted to take it out! Who knows this thing? So unsound..."
"You don't know how to count?" Xiang An continued to curse, "You don't have a brain but you always have a mouth! Don't you know how to ask? Choosing the left knocker means accepting the treasure, choosing the right knocker will trigger the wrath of Poseidon and kill us all. , you fucking..."
"Okay, stop arguing!" Qingshi Duan shouted, "It's useless to say anything now, the most important thing is to escape quickly! Go, go!"
After saying that, Qingshi took the lead and turned around and ran out, followed by Duan, Chenxiang and the other three.
The vibrations on the ground became more and more violent. People could not keep their balance when running and could not get up quickly. Large pieces of mud and stone began to fall from the roof of the cave. Qingshi originally wanted to activate Xuanyuanjia to fly, but he had to give up when he saw this situation.
Although several people were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not avoid the dense falling mud and rocks. Fortunately, they activated the protective function of their armor and were not injured by the mud and rocks. Just after running more than ten feet, he heard a loud noise behind him. Qingshi turned around and saw that a large piece of the ground had collapsed.
Looking ahead, I saw a stream of hot steam rushing up from the underground shaft. As the ground behind me collapsed, the steam-belching underground shaft spewed out boiling water. In an instant, the entire underground passage was blazing hot. Steam filled the air, and scalding boiling water rolled up.
The air was full of the fishy smell of seawater. Apparently, the giant cave below had been filled with seawater and boiled. Seawater kept gushing up. Not only from the shaft hole, but also from other places where the ground collapsed, scalding seawater began to gush out. .
After running for more than ten feet, the water was already up to his waist. Qingshi shouted loudly: "Let's fly!"
Although you will be hit by falling mud and rocks, it is better than walking in scalding water.
Qingshi activated the wings of wind and thunder and flew up, but Chen Tianye shouted: "No! There is no spiritual energy here."
Qingshi felt it, and it was indeed the case. He could fly, but Duan, Chen and Xiang could only stumble forward in the scalding water.
Suddenly, Duan, Chen and Xiang in the sea sank together and submerged into the water. It was not that the sea water suddenly rose above their heads, but that the passage under their feet collapsed.
Duan, Chen and Xiang sank into the water and immediately came up again. Even though they had high levels of cultivation and were protected by armor, they were still screamed by the sea water.
Qingshi dropped three metal wires for each of them to grab one, and then dragged them forward. Qingshi flew with great difficulty, and Duan, Chenxiang and the other three also had difficulty moving forward in the turbulent and rolling sea water.
Soon, the sea water rose and was almost close to the top of the cave. Qingshi had no choice but to put away his Wind and Thunder Wings martial arts, fell into the sea water, and swam forward with Duan Chenxiang and the others. At this time, they were still about thirty feet away from the second stone gate.
"It's almost here, we're almost at Shimen," Duan Wutian said, "Come on!"
After passing this stone gate, go through the corridor that is less than fifty feet, and pass through the first broken stone gate, which is the shaft tomb passage leading to the ground.
But I heard Qingshi smile bitterly and say: "The stone gate is closed!"
"What?" Chen Tianye was shocked.
"No wonder this second stone door opened automatically," Xiang An said. "It turns out that it can also close itself, trapping us all inside."
"Damn it," Duan Wutian cursed, "If you close it, close it. Is it possible that you can still drown me?"
"I'll cook you even if I drown you to death!" Chen Tianye scolded, "Let's think about it quickly..."
Chen Tianye didn't finish his words because sea water had filled the entire underground space. The four men had no choice but to dive into the water.
Underwater, the amethyst stones on the stone walls of the passage were still glowing, so it was not too dark underwater. Looking through the bubble-filled sea water, sure enough, the second stone door is now tightly closed.
The hearts of the four people sank underwater like theirs, because they knew how thick the stone door was.
Soon, the four people swam to the stone gate. Duan Wutian put his palms against the stone gate and pushed it with a roar. The stone gate naturally did not move at all.
With Qingshi's cultivation level, even in this hot sea water, they would not be scalded or drowned for the time being. However, once one's own energy is exhausted, there is only one way to die.
You cannot replace the spiritual source of your body armor underwater, nor can you use spiritual sources such as spiritual stones or dragon beads to replenish your own consumption. The only way to replenish your true energy is to take elixirs, but the speed of taking elixirs to replenish your true energy is impossible. Faster than consumption. If this continues, it's impossible for them to last long.
"Duan Tu, you big bastard!" Xiang An shouted, "This time you will kill everyone."
"Shut up!" Qingshi said, "Now is not the time to hold people responsible! Xiang An, go check the right door axis of the stone gate. Since this stone gate can open and close automatically, it is not a death door. There must be a magic circle mechanism to control it. "
"That's right!" Xiang An understood and quickly followed Qingshi's instructions.
Qingshi swam to the door axis on the left and inspected it closely, hoping to find clues to the magic circle mechanism.
Suddenly, Qingshi heard Chen Tianye's urgent voice: "Qingshi, be careful!"
Qingshi felt the danger at this moment, and quickly turned around with his sword in front of him. In the dim and bubble-filled sea water, a thick figure rushed towards Qingshi. His speed was much faster than the few of them in the water. Duo, Qingshi recognized this monster in the sea, it was Hai Lingbiao.
Qingshi didn't dare to neglect, and stabbed the incoming enemy with the Moon Soul Sword in his hand. The invading Hai Lingbiao seemed to know that Qingshi's sword was powerful. His figure suddenly trembled and turned around, but he didn't give up the attack. , but changed the head-butting to tail-slapping.
Hai Lingbiao's fat body moved like a fish in the water, and his huge tail swung towards the bluestone like a big axe. In the water, no matter how fast Qingshi's body technique was, he couldn't use it. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, he had to move his black gold hands and block the attack with both arms in front of him.
With a bang, Qingshi was hit hard, and the powerful impact pushed him backwards. His back hit the stone door hard, and his internal organs were shaken and ached.
While Qingshi was being attacked, several other Hai Lingbiao also began to attack Duan, Chen Xiang and the others. Not only were they long, strong and fast, they also had tails like an axe, flippers like a broadsword and giant hacksaws. Mouth fangs.
At a glance, Qingshi saw that there were at least ten Hai Lingbiao surrounding the four of them, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Moreover, there seemed to be more Hai Lingbiao figures swimming towards here in the distance.
The four people swam together by chance, with their backs to the stone gate on guard. The weapons in their hands were still a bit of a threat to Hai Lingbiao. Therefore, these Hai Lingbiao did not swarm up. They swam around nimbly, and from time to time they swam around. Rush up and flick your tail or tap twice with your flippers.
Obviously, Qingshi and the other four are already turtles in the urn. They don't need to fight hard at all. They can kill several people just by playing like this. Soon, both Duan Wutian and Xiang An were injured. Duan Wutian was hit by the sharp claws at the tip of his flippers, and his body and thighs were cut in several places. Xiang An was slapped by the tail of a huge Hai Lingbiao. During the attack, his internal organs were injured and he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
At an extremely critical moment, Qingshi suddenly remembered the encounter with sea dragons at Hidden Dragon Spring on Longzhu Island. He immediately took out the dragon scales presented by Qinglong with joy. Although Hai Lingbiao did not have dragon blood, he was still a sea beast after all, and dragon scales should be important to them. It also has a blood-vein-suppressing effect.
Sure enough, as soon as Qingshi took out the dragon scale and held it in his hand, the Hai Lingbiao people surrounding them all dispersed in excitement. In no time, they all retreated twenty or thirty feet away.
