Xiao Jinnian was frightened by Ling Yao's shout and opened his eyes.
When he jumped up, Ling Yao, who was as big as he was standing there, was completely gone.
Only the ripples on the ground were left.
Xiao Jinnian:...? Where are people?
Of course, Xiao Jinnian was dumbfounded for a moment, and soon realized that the waters here were probably different from the place they had passed just now.
Ling Yao probably stepped into the deep water and fell into the water.
Of course, this special "deep water area" is most likely the "door" to the next level.
Xiao Jinnian was "amazed" by Ling Yao's experience, and decided to "laugh at" Ling Yao when he saw him later.
He held the Red Flame Wild Goose Wing Knife in his hand and groped around the shallows, trying to find the dividing line of the water.
"Ah, I found it. Idiot Guangzhai actually fell into it. This dividing line is obviously very easy... eh?"
Xiao Jinnian was muttering when he suddenly felt a strong suction tightening his knife.
——Then he pulled his whole body down.
"What am I?!?!?!"
Xiao Jinian fell into the water with his eyes wide open, leaving a string of unclear words and bubbles in the water.
Under the water.
Ling Yao lay sprawled on the ground, looking at Xiao Jinnian with empty eyes like a bear descending from the mountain. He fell from the water and slowly said a sentence to Xiao Jinnian who had landed hard:
"You're like this, and you still call me a fool? You deserve it."
Xiao Jinian finally fell to the ground with a "big" gesture, and silently raised an international unfriendly gesture towards Ling Yao.
Ling Yao seemed to have finally recovered from the choking. He said "Hey", got up from the ground, walked over to Xiao Jinnian, and kicked the other person's butt:
"Okay, get up quickly. Although there is no danger here for the time being, we can't tell for sure in the future."
Xiao Jinnian immediately turned over, rolled his eyes at Ling Yao, and asked:
"Is this the next level? Is it just luck to get in? Oh, by the way, did that voice in your consciousness say anything?"
Ling Yao shook his head.
He had already tried to make some insinuations, extracting from the mouths of the complaining servants the next test of the Land of Inheritance.
But don't say that these guys are not serious on weekdays and often answer questions incorrectly.
The key is that they haven't even appeared recently!
Only then did Ling Yao realize that his daily decisions were too dependent on these "external" factors.
The super-perspective information and "prophecy" mentioned by the complainers did provide him with a lot of convenience.
But if he completely relies on these guys to obtain information, what if these guys who appear inexplicably one day disappear inexplicably?
This is not the right path after all.
So he also adjusted his mentality early, and he still had to make his own judgment in everything.
It's certainly a good thing to have a "helper" from a complainer, but if you don't have one, you can't let yourself be at a loss all of a sudden.
"But I guess maybe it's not all luck."
Ling Yao continued,
“Everyone who comes to Tianchi will notice the cornerstone of the world suspended above Tianchi.
“As long as you have an attitude of research and exploration into the mysterious implications of the birth and evolution of the world, you will always try to get closer to the cornerstone of the world.
"The next step is to rely on persistence, patience, and a little luck. Once we reach a certain distance, we will naturally crash into the water where we are and come to this underwater world."
Xiao Jinnian supported himself with a knife and slowly got up:
"That's what you said...but looking at it here, I really can't see anything that tests people."
Although he fell badly before, he was not unaware of his surroundings.
As Ling Yao said, the first thing that can be confirmed is that at least in the underwater cave they are in now, they cannot feel free spiritual energy fluctuations (which means there are no traps), and they do not feel any hostility towards them.
Otherwise, he and Ling Yao wouldn't have had time to lie on the ground to calm down when they fell.
But while there is no danger, there are no warnings here either.
Although he also guessed that it seemed normal that there would be no prompts in Patriarch Tianxin's series of tests.
But there are neither words, pictures, nor spiritual energy fluctuations; there are no guards, and there are no "mission props" to trigger the passage.
What is this test? This is more like confinement!
However, Ling Yao and Xiao Jinnian had different feelings.
Although compared with the outside world, the spiritual power here is almost stagnant, and there is no breath of magic flowing.
But in this calmness, there seems to be something more mysterious, beating in every corner of the cave.
He made a "shh" gesture to Xiao Jinian, who was complaining, and then closed his eyes.
The rhythmic sound became louder and louder, and within the scope of spiritual exploration, tiny light spots seemed to gradually emerge.
The light spots became clearer and clearer in his consciousness, turning into small jelly-like balls, shaking their heads according to a certain rhythm.
Gradually, he heard clearly the small sounds made by those swaying light spots:
"Hey, another human is coming in."
"Human~ One human~ Two humans~ Three humans~ Four humans~ There are so many humans here today~"
"I like the kid who just came in. He looks a bit cute. But he has the aura of that old man from Tianxin. Maybe he is Tianxin's disciple?"
"Ah, that bearded guy from Tianxin is not dead yet!!"
Ling Yao:...? What do you call Patriarch Tianxin? …
"However, compared with the fierce big guy who came in first, these two people look much more pleasing to the eye!"
"But, they both fell in just now, hee hee hee, so embarrassing——"
Ling Yao showed an embarrassed expression: ...wait, was it also seen how I fell in just now?
"Hey! It seems like he can hear us!"
"I saw it! I saw it! You fell so stupidly just now! We all saw it!!"
It seemed that "they" noticed Ling Yao's emotional changes, and these soft little dumplings became even more excited.
"Guangguangguangzhai——! What, what is this!"
Xiao Jinnian's whirring sound penetrated Ling Yao's eardrums. Ling Yao couldn't help but cover his ears and opened his eyes.
I saw a faint blue light gradually lighting up in the original darkness.
Little dumplings popped up from the cracks in the rocks, and the cave where you could hear needles falling suddenly became noisy.
"Ah! We've been discovered!"
"Wow! This silly guy looks even more frightened!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen humans. It's so fun to tease them!"
"But that stinky old man in Tianxin has no interest at all, and he has trapped us here for so many years! I'm so angry!"
Ling Yao and Xiao Jinnian looked confused.
Patriarch Tianxin was scolded by something in his inheritance place? !
Ling Yao, in particular, once again remembered the fear of being dominated by the chattering servants.
"But have you ever felt that there is something very familiar about this human being holding a sword?"
"Yes! Yes! It tastes the same as the cornerstone of the world!"
"In that case, can we go out after him?"
"Follow him! Follow him!"
Before Ling Yao made any move, Xiao Jinnian suddenly rolled his eyes, lowered his head and asked the little dumplings:
"You think Guang Zhai is very friendly? Do you want to follow him?"
"That's right! That's right! We can definitely get out by following him!"
Xiao Jinnian clapped his hands and showed a sly smile:
"Okay, as long as you answer my questions and take us to the next level of the inheritance land, how about I give Guang Zhai to you?"
Ling Yao: "wooooooC? Xiao Jinnian! This is not how you sell your brothers!"
"First of all, what are you? Life forms? Or artifacts?"
My protest was not heard at all! !
However, suddenly the cave shook, and a stone door opened from the side for no reason!
"Go this way~Go this way~"
Xiao Jinian and Ling Yao looked at each other and quickly walked towards the stone gate.
Behind the stone gate is a dark and deep tunnel. But because those small glowing balls followed them all the way, the brightness in front of them always remained visible.
And those chirping voices kept answering Xiao Jinnian’s questions:
"We are the spirits generated by the cornerstone of the world! Because Tianxin trapped the cornerstone of the world in his inheritance place, we have no way to leave! That guy is a super-invincible bad guy!"
"This road is a shortcut and secret passage to the control center. Only we know this road!
"If you go from here, you can bypass the guards Tianxin placed here! I took you away for Guang Zhai's sake!"
"The final test is to get the control center of the inheritance place! But only with the approval of Patriarch Tianxin can we completely master the inheritance place and directly use this alien space for our own use."
"Actually, Tianchi is already the last inheritance benefit. But Tianxin insists on putting the guards here to make it the last level that is unnecessary."
"That's right! It's obvious that no one can control the center except himself. He just wants to see what his disciples can do. It's meaningless."
"The master who designed this kind of test, forget about killing him to achieve enlightenment!"
As Ling Yao walked, he complained in his heart:
No. It means a lot.
Now that Patriarch Tianxin has returned on a crane, his Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower is in the hands of Ling Linhan. Ling Linhan can definitely take over the control center here without any hindrance.
I have to sigh, the protagonist’s life is really good!
Xiao Jinnian touched the wall, held Guangduanzi in his hand, and asked:
"Then wouldn't it be pointless for us to go there? Otherwise, why don't we go back now?"
"Ah? No, no, no! Don't leave! Meaning? It means so much!"
"Although he can't control the entire inheritance land, Old Man Tianxin is still a powerful person in the Mortal Saint Realm! Even just looking at the control center will be very beneficial to mastering space abilities in the future!"
"Yes, yes! Come with us! The control center is also closer to the cornerstone of the world, where you can meditate well without the need for crystal fragments!"
Ling Yao and Ling Yao were pushed all the way towards the control center.
Although the words sound nice, these little guys probably hope that they can get close to the cornerstone of the world so that they can completely shift their position from the cornerstone of the world to themselves...
I feel how Piao Erye felt when he was deceived into that [routine plot research group].
However, not far from the tunnel exit, the entire tunnel suddenly shook violently!
Ling Yao and Xiao Jinnian had already picked up their weapons on guard, but now they began to accumulate spiritual power.
And those little dumplings who were originally lively and lively suddenly became panicked and confused:
"It's over! It's over! Those two humans actually started fighting in the control center!"
"Ahhh! The central device has been hit!! It will collapse!!"
"The energy of the guards has been exhausted! No one can stop them! What to do! What to do!"
"Will it be destroyed? If the control center is broken, the entire alien space will be destroyed!"
Before he finished speaking, the rock above Ling Yao's head suddenly made a terrifying tearing sound, and huge fragments fell instantly, creating a big hole in the ground.
Menacing cracks began to appear everywhere in the tunnel.
"Run! Hide in the central hall!"
Ling Yao fended off the falling dust and stone debris, and ran towards the other end of the tunnel with Xiao Jinian.
But in the central hall, what greeted them was a doomsday-like scene!
