The sleeping dragon is lifeless, like an empty shell as solid as a rock.
It took them a while to circle it, and finally, they confirmed this astonishing fact.
This is a fake dragon.
The person who was finally fully confirmed was Qi Huan, who finally found the leading place. It doesn't have any breath, as if it is dead; it also has no eyes, there is just a closed, sunken gap. The gap was just a simple hole, and there were no eyes hidden under the eyelids. This is very surprising. To be honest, it was probably because it was difficult to confirm its material that they mistakenly thought it was a real dragon part. What's more, it's so lifelike that even such a cold material can be carved with great charm.
They also discovered that the coiled dragon body had many gaps. Those are torsos that are not completely overlapping. The widest part between them is two feet wide, enough for an adult human to fit inside.
It was pitch black inside, without a trace of light.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Huan looked at Bai Ya who was looking around, "You don't want to go in, do you?"
"A little concerned about what's in it."
"Is it empty? We'd better find a way to move it away quickly, or just cut it open. It's just a fake dragon, so it won't cause any trouble. It's important to save people."
Lord Shuangyue came to the side, and did not stick his head in like Bai Ya, but just glanced at the side.
"There's something in there."
"what?"
"There's a different flow of water. There's more space inside than expected."
"How could it be? Is there some kind of magic?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe there's a wider space below that connects to the first floor."
When he and Bai Ya discussed, Qi Huan had a headache.
"Can you save people anymore?"
"This stone was extruded and stacked layer by layer tens of millions of years ago, and was excavated from the deep sea. It is stronger than steel." Lord Shuangyue knocked on the dragon's body, "I'm afraid it's impossible to destroy it from the outside alone. I think it's impossible. Its structure, the way it is entrenched, is intentional, and it is almost indestructible.”
"You mean to go in and find the flaw from inside?" Qi Huan frowned.
"It should be. Since there is no place to start outside, it is better to go inside and take a look. You must know that any weapon must have fragile parts. Just aim at it and hit it hard, and it will be shattered to pieces. It is easy."
Shuoyue-kun said it easily. Bai Ya looked at the unsheathed demon-sealing blade in his hand and thought about the feasibility.
"Then I'll go. If it doesn't work, just pass me the Demon-Conquering Pestle."
"Wait, but...but--"
Qi Huan hesitated to speak, always feeling that this was not appropriate, but could not think of a better way.
"You want to go? That's okay." With that said, Bai Ya handed him the Demon-Sealing Blade. But Qi Huan didn't take it.
"no……"
"Nothing? Aren't you also anxious? Of course we have to find a way." Bai Ya didn't understand what he was dawdling about at this time. He was the most anxious just now, but now he was hesitant and hesitant, which made him a little irritable.
"What if there's danger inside? What if it's connected to other traps on the first floor? What if this is a trap?"
Qi Huan also defended anxiously. The thoughts in his mind were extremely confusing and seemed a little incoherent. He had almost a hundred questions and a hundred and one worries, but no answers. He seemed to be timid and timid than before.
"You are not as courageous as when I met you." Bai Ya's face suddenly darkened, "You wanted to come to the South Country at that time. I didn't force you or stop you. It doesn't matter even if you don't come. I see that you The way you looked at that time was rather meaningless, but later I found out that you did have two brushes, and you were not really that ignorant and unscrupulous. But why are you holding back now? Aren't you trying to save people? "
Bai Ya almost felt baffled. He stared at him, his eyes not quite angry, but rather confused. He seemed a bit aggressive like this, and Qi Huan didn't know how to explain it.
"What if something happens to you?"
"I'm not afraid?"
"Am I afraid?"
"So I'm going? What's the problem?"
"No, I made the question so straightforward, why don't you understand?"
"Then what do you mean?"
Mr. Shuangyue frowned slightly, feeling funny in his heart. At the same time, he shook his head helplessly, quite like a father. Seeing his virtue, Bai Ya was not angered by Qi Huan, but almost angered by Lord Shuangyue.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm not laughing."
"I hear you are secretly very happy." 61
"Can't you see? There were four of you when you came, and now there are only two left. No matter you or him, it would be meaningless if you go and never come back. Not to mention whether you can get out alive, you will not die together. Go, it sounds really miserable. Although... I don't care about this. I guess Mr. Qi, there must be some reason why I can't say it."
Faced with Lord Shuangyue's statement, Qi Huan was much calmer than Bai Ya. He glanced at Lord Shuangyue and felt a little calmer. He nodded slightly and shook his head, probably thinking about something.
"It's not an unspeakable reason." He turned to Bai Ya, "You know, I don't like water - but I didn't like water before I came here, before I met Yasha."
"Is it because of the drowned young master of your childhood?"
"It's not the young master... it's a playmate, a friend." When he mentioned this, although he did not escape, he looked a little tired, "He died of drowning - for me, to save me, do you understand?"
Bai Ya looked at him without much fluctuation in his eyes.
"I think there was something wrong when you said that. When I said that the young master's spiritual roots were insufficient, I actually had some doubts, but I was too lazy to say anything. Diligence can make up for your shortcomings, and you will not drown yourself no matter what. I guess there is indeed something. Other surprises.”
"It's a water ghost." Qi Huan paused, "The water ghost is asking for his life."
"...So in order to save you, he used crappy onmyoji to fight against it?"
"He didn't, he just replaced me."
"Did he replace you?" This made Bai Ya a little puzzled. "Didn't he resist at all? Does he hate his life like this? In this case..."
"He... was rebelling against his parents. No, that's not the case." Qi Huan shook his head, "I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity in the future. I don't want to see you die, like that time !”
Looking at his determined eyes, Bai Ya could temporarily understand why he was so "indecisive". But he still sighed silently in his heart and made no change in his plan.
"According to what you say, Liu Shenghan has no choice but to save him."
"I know." Qi Huan pulled Bai Ya's sleeve, "We have to go together."
"Then if something happens, no one of us will be left. Think clearly."
Bai Ya is admittedly not afraid of death and speaks directly. But is Qi Huan someone who is afraid of death? He shook his head, his eyes were firm and indifferent, and he had an aura that he had already given up on life and death. Bai Ya frowned slightly, not knowing how to evaluate this kind of "courage", but he did not object to Qi Huan's decision.
"Okay, one more person will increase the chance of winning." Then, Bai Ya looked at Lord Shuangyue, "You don't have to worry about us. If you are impatient with waiting, you can just leave."
"Then you have to hurry up. I never have much patience. Remember, your goal is to break this statue. Don't worry about anything else."
Originally, they had no intention of counting on Lord Shuangyue, but by saying this, they were willing to wait. This surprised the two of them. They nodded, and Bai Ya took a step closer to the widest hole.
"I'll go down and take a look first. If I'm sure everything is okay, you can follow me."
Qi Huan nodded in agreement, and Bai Ya tried to reach into the cave between the dragon bodies. The hole is flat and not very easy to enter. The knife behind Bai Ya was still stuck. Qi Huan helped him move the two knives apart before pushing them in. Bai Ya tried to turn around in the water and grabbed the edge of the dragon's body. It was dark below, and he felt that something was wrong with the water flow here. So, he turned around and said to Qi Huan outside:
"Give me the amber first, I can't see clearly inside. It's so strange here, the water flow is very messy."
"good."
So Qi Huan brought the blue amber. Just as Bai Ya stretched out his hand to take Lan Po from his hand, he suddenly felt a powerful force dragging him downwards. It was like there was a suction force, and the invisible hands tightly grasped his ankle, pulling hard. At the same time, he could clearly feel that the water flow was only stirring in one direction on his waist. He immediately held the Demon-Sealing Blade in his mouth and gritted his teeth, fearing that it would be swept away by the sea water. At the same time, he held Shi Long's body hard with both hands, not daring to let go easily with one hand.
"What's wrong?!" Qi Huan was shocked, "What's going on inside? What's there?"
With that said, he also wanted to look inside. At this moment, Lord Shuangyue reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't go there." He showed a rare nervousness, "There is a strong evil spirit down there."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"This appeared out of thin air. Just now, the spiritual power was not so turbid. Something was noticed."
"I can't just watch!"
"I won't stop you even if you want to die!"
As soon as Mr. Shuangyue finished speaking, before he could let go of his hand, he was slapped down by Qi Huan. Then he grabbed Bai Ya's wrist and tried to pull him up. A whirlpool gradually formed inside, and Bai Ya felt that his body was about to be torn apart.
"Damn it - let go!"
"impossible!"
Bai Ya frowned, bared his teeth, and bit down on the Demon-Sealing Blade, his expression looking a bit ferocious. Qi Huan remained unmoved and still held on to him. He felt very bad. He had held Liu Shenghan like this before.
Bai Ya suddenly let go of one hand and grabbed the wakizashi in his mouth. Then, he suddenly swung his scabbard and stabbed Qi Huan's hand. He didn't hit him very hard, but it hit him hard. Although Qi Huan didn't intend to let go, he relaxed a little at that moment. Immediately afterwards, the unknown power in the dragon's body immediately seized the opportunity and dragged Bai Yasheng away.
hateful! Qi Huan tried to squeeze his whole body in, but Shuang Yuejun grabbed him again. This time he was so strong that Qi Huan's arm was dislocated the moment he pulled him. He felt a sharp pain and wanted to scream, but because his teeth were clenched, only a series of tiny bubbles leaked out from the corners of his mouth.
The blue amber slipped from the dragon's body, and Qi Huan saw it falling outside. The abnormality inside seemed to disappear. He pushed Shuangyue Jun away and went to look, but there was nothing. His right shoulder was still aching, but in comparison, he still felt that Bai Ya's hit was more painful. Through the thin silk clothes, a layer of bruises appeared on the back of Qi Huan's hand.
Why did he let go? If I am not afraid of death, am I still afraid of pain?
Qi Huan really wanted to punch himself and that damn instinct.
