Chapter 147 The Aftermath Of The Vision
Chapter 147 The Aftermath Of The Vision
Assuming that it was really the iron pillar that opened the door, then the door was not automatic. Why would the other party close it?
With a belly full of question marks, Liu Xue moved downwards little by little.
Although the secret passage is long, the space is much larger than everyone thought. At first, there were some stone slabs, but as you go down, the slope becomes larger and larger.
By the time you could almost hear the sound of running water, the road under your feet was almost straight up and down.
Fortunately, there were more people coming down this trip, and everyone supported each other, but no one fell down.
"Boss, look, the waterline is still wet." Shakro pointed to the marks on the wall of the secret passage.
Creatures in the sea beast world have excellent night vision. Liu Xue couldn't see clearly, so he simply made the fireball in his palm bigger.
Liu Xue poked at it with his hand and found that the wall was wet.
"Everyone, please be careful not to go too far from the exit. The water may rise at any time." Liu Xue turned around and said.
Maomao was flapping his wings now, he was holding on to Chitose, and Chitose was sliding down with his feet.
Pork Chop Baby was on all fours, while McChicken was lying on her back.
Hey, it’s so hard to get down here, what can I do when I get up?
Liu Xue couldn't help but worry.
The long, narrow and steep secret passage finally came to an end, and everyone realized that the danger just now was just an appetizer.
The underground river beneath my feet had now risen to ankle height, and now it was completely impossible to tell where was the ground and where was the river.
Liu Xue threw several fireballs far away. Only when they hit the wall did everyone see the true face of the underground river.
The river lives up to its name. The water surface was sparkling but flowing extremely fast. As far as the eye could see, there was no clear dividing line in the wide river.
Upon seeing this, Shakro took a few steps forward. He picked up a handful of water and poured it on himself. He excitedly said to Liu Xue, "Boss, it's sea water!"
"Sea water?" Liu Xue stretched out his finger, wiped some of it and put it into his mouth. It really was.
"Wait, I clearly remember that the map said this underground river is fresh water?!" Liu Xue frowned slightly.
And at this moment, as if sensing something, the fragment spoke again.
"The sequelae of the vision. The interior of the Lower Nether Realm may be connected with the Sea Beast Realm." Fragment said.
"You mean two holes were drilled?" Liu Xue said.
Everyone looked at Liu Xue. Liu Xue quickly realized that only he could hear the sound of the fragments, so he said in his mind, "Couldn't it lead to the world of sea beasts from here?"
"Not sure. Unless you dive into the water," Shard said.
The purpose of Liu Xue's trip was only iron pillars and stones, and he was not in a hurry to investigate the underground river at the moment.
Gemstone once said that the fragments of the Lower Nether Realm have been taken away, so there is a high probability that there will be no monsters containing the fragments here.
I guess so.
The more he thought about it, the more unsure he became, and the memory of his previous battle with the sea snake resurfaced.
"Shakro, can I trouble you to explore the way?" Liu Xue said.
Shakro nodded. He first took the rope from Liu Xue and then wrapped it around himself.
This not only prevents him from being washed away by the current, but also leaves a mark for those behind him.
Shakro stopped and walked. The boundaries of this underground river are much more complicated than everyone had guessed. Some roads can be found along the edges, while others lie across the middle of the water flow.
Sometimes Shakro disappears while walking, and after a while he will pop out again.
But he didn't mind. Instead, he said that the underground river mixed with sea water made him feel a lot better.
"Don't worry, although the current is a bit fast, it's not too deep. But you still have to be careful when you come over soon!" Shaqluo said.
He pulled out the teeth that were supposed to be replaced and used them as wooden stakes, then stapled the ropes to the ground.
Now there is a marked point, and everyone moves forward little by little following the mark.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a shoal in front of me.
Liu Xue stepped forward quickly, and before he was completely close, he vaguely saw two shadows there.
"who!"
One of the black shadows shouted, followed by a stone flying over.
Not to mention anything else, the stone hit Shaqluo right in the face.
"Your uncle hurts me to death, you bastard!" Shakro complained, rubbing the top of his head.
"Iron pillar!" Liu Xue threw a handful of fireballs, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up.
I saw a dry open space in the middle of the shoal, where Tie Zhu was supporting the Shitou assistant.
"Are you okay?" Liu Xue didn't care about which area he could step on. He poured spiritual magic into his feet and flew toward the clearing like a dragonfly touching water.
"I'm fine!" Tie Zhu excitedly wanted to reach out and hug Liu Xue, but suddenly realized that he didn't have a protective cover on his left hand and took it back.
"Is this Assistant Teacher Shitou?" Liu Xue glanced at the man lying on the ground, "Why are you here? Shouldn't he be in the Xianling Hall?"
At this moment, the rest of the people also rushed over with Shaqluo. Everyone said something to each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Calm down, everyone!" Liu Xuehe stopped, "Let Tiezhu speak first."
Everyone fell silent immediately, and everyone turned their attention to Tiezhu.
"Yesterday afternoon I wanted to go back to school early to get some glue, but when I arrived at the school gate, I found that the school was under renovation and I couldn't enter." Tiezhu said.
"The guard asked me to come back tomorrow when school starts. Just as I was about to leave, I saw a man who looked very similar to Tiezhu."
Stone armor? ! Liu Xue clenched his fists.
"I felt something was wrong, but I still talked to the man. He said he was the brother of assistant coach Shi Shi, and I couldn't remember the rest of it," Tie Zhu said.
"Don't forget, hurry up and recall." Shakro shook Tiezhu's head vigorously.
I don’t know if Shakro was retaliating for the stone just now, but Liu Xue felt that if he pressed the iron pillar harder, the head would fall off.
"I really don't remember, I'm going to puke if you shake me again." Tie Zhu's eyes turned into two mosquito coils.
"When I woke up, I saw Assistant Teacher Shitou and me at the door of the secret passage of the underground river. The Assistant Teacher was covered in injuries, and then someone who looked exactly like him was chasing us. In desperation, the Assistant Teacher asked me to open the secret door, and I did so. .”
"Then we wanted to follow the river to find an exit, but the water level suddenly rose and we were trapped here."
After Tiezhu finished speaking, he made way for Liu Xue. Liu Xue squatted down and pushed the assistant teacher Shitou.
"Then who is in the Hall of the Souls? I'm a little dizzy." Chitose said, "How long have you been here?"
"I don't know." Tie Zhu shook his head, "It's dark here and the surroundings are humid. I can only guess based on the degree of rust that it has been there for almost a day."
Shi Shi, who was unconscious on the ground, showed no sign of waking up, so Liu Xue turned over his body.
Judging from the injuries on the assistant coach, he did go through a tough battle before this.
Liu Xue closed his eyes and meditated, carefully recalling the details of what happened in the conference hall.
The 'Stone' who knocked on the door looked exactly like the one in front of him. The first thing that could be confirmed was that the spiritual aura around him was not abnormal.
Otherwise, how could there be so many professors on campus and no one would notice? Moreover, Gou Si Te and Liu Hua did not behave abnormally.
It's a pity that Liu Xue ran in a hurry. He ran out as soon as he heard that Tiezhu was tied up. He didn't see any reaction from Liu Hua and Gou Si Te later.
Having said that, these two people have apparently not come to arrest him yet. Could it be that the one at the Xianling Hall is a fake?
