"But" Bai Xueyin hesitated, "this place is so big, where should we find them?"

"I have a way." Lan Qiao smiled and walked to the other wall of the stone chamber, pointing to the two regular rows of round protrusions on the wall and said, "What do you think these protrusions are for?"

Bai Xueyin reached out and touched it, and found out that it was copper. Then she picked it gently, and one of the bumps was lifted up, revealing the dark hole underneath. "It turns out to be a copper pipe for monitoring." She said excitedly.

He opened several more raised lids and closed them again one by one.

Lan Qiao smiled and said, "Since it is the command post of a military base, of course it must be able to listen to the reports of the subordinate generals at any time and convey the latest instructions. If every order is sent, an orderly soldier must be sent through the maze of ninety-nine three talents.

Formation, isn’t it a big joke?”

He walked back to the general diagram of the organization with his hands behind his back, pointed at the small circular marks on it and said, "Look here, here, and here, there are sixteen copper pipes. According to the marks, they exactly correspond to the center of the Sancai Formation."

Sixteen of the largest stone chambers. The length and width of these stone chambers are more than fifty paces, so it is not a problem to station hundreds of troops."

Bai Xueyin smiled and said, "Why do I feel like this place is like an ant castle built underground."

"Then we have all become little ants in this castle," Lan Qiao said with a dumb smile, "Maybe their inspiration for building the treasure originated from the ant nest."

Bai Xueyin said, "It's a pity that there are only sixteen copper pipes. If we want to find Hua Yuxi and Zhang Zhongjie, we still have to try our luck."

"Don't worry, I have a way to force them out." Lan Qiao said, "Guess what the ants are afraid of?"

Bai Xueyin said calmly, "Of course I'm afraid of water."

"Then let's release the water and see where those two little ants escape." Lan Qiao said as he walked to the huge copper axis mechanism, observed it carefully for a moment, and then pulled one of the handles.

There was a harsh sound, and the copper shaft slowly rotated in the direction used to open the water door before.

"That's enough." Lan Qiao rubbed the rust stains on his hands, turned to Bai Xueyin and said, "Now the water from the Black River will continuously pour into the treasure, causing the water level in the Sancai Formation to rise, and the mechanism to release the water will also

I was turned off."

He returned to the general map of the organization, pointed to one of the large stone chambers with copper pipes and said, "The corresponding location of this stone chamber is Di Qi Si. If they don't want to drown, the most convenient way is to come up from here, and we

All we have to do is wait and see, and then give them a surprise.”

Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Zhongjie's cursing voice came from the copper pipe connecting the "Di Qi Si" stone chamber, "I'm really screwed. How did I encounter such a mess? Is Xixia Dead Ghost Ji Zhidao doing a shoddy project? What's wrong with this treasure?"

There is endless water leakage, and the project funds must have been embezzled by him through stupid corruption."

Then came Hua Yuxi's voice again: "Stop saying a few words. If the project funds have been embezzled, you can't go to him to settle the account. What's more, we came here to take their treasure, are you still taking advantage of it?"

Zhang Zhongjie pushed Li Zhuer away and said proudly, "We are helping the little princess of Xixia get back her wealth, so of course it is reasonable. If he drowns the little princess here, how can he have the dignity to meet his king?"

Li Zhuer said angrily, "You gang of robbers"

The three of them had just taken advantage of the rising water to float from the stone chamber "Ren 74" below to the huge military room "Di 74". At this time, the water continued to rise, and soon it was up to the ankles of the three of them.

Zhang Zhongjie said with some worry, "If we continue at this rate, we will have to go up later, but there is no door up here."

Hua Yuxi discovered early in the morning that the top of the "Di Qi Si" stone chamber was not connected to the "Tian Qi Si" stone door. If she wanted to go up, she had to find another way. "You accompany the little princess to rest here, and I will find the way."

"

As she spoke, she waded into the "Dibasi" next door, tentatively pulled the copper ring of the mechanism, and said, "It's useless. Now even if I pull the mechanism that is supposed to release the water, the rate of water level rise will not slow down at all."

."

She turned a corner and walked into the stone chamber "Diba San" next to her. She pulled the switch again, but accidentally triggered the stone door to fall, separating the two stone chambers "Di Qisi Si" and "Di Ba Si".

This was not the first time that Zhang Zhongjie and Hua Yuxi were separated. Although he was a little nervous, he still tried his best to stay calm.

He knew that Hua Yuxi must have a way to come back.

The sound of water rang out from the stone chamber "Di Qisan" on the other side.

Zhang Zhongjie thought Hua Yuxi was coming back, so he greeted her with a smile and said, "You've come around so quickly. Have you found the way up?"

As he walked, he lit a fire stick. Before he could adapt to the change in light, he felt two sharp sword auras piercing his eyes.

Since the incident happened suddenly and Zhang Zhongjie did not carry any weapons with him, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and suddenly ran backwards.

Of course it was Lan Qiao who made the sneak attack.

Zhang Zhongjie dodged his "Wind and Cloud Surge" move, and immediately flew up. The sword edge cut through the water that had risen to half the depth of his calf, and attacked Zhang Zhongjie's undefended left shoulder.

After Lan Qiao and Bai Xueyin practiced Qiankun Jue to the fourth level, the movement of Qi and the speed of attacks were significantly improved. Zhang Zhongjie was barely able to dodge the first move, but Lan Qiao's second sword followed him in the attack.

Come on, knowing that I couldn't hide anymore, I simply knelt down in the water with my knees weak, raised my hands and said, "Mr. Lan, please spare my life."

The red medicine sword stopped half an inch in front of Zhang Zhongjie's throat.

Lan Qiao originally planned to kill Zhang Zhongjie directly after a sneak attack, but now that he was admitting defeat and begging for mercy so directly, he was a little at a loss.

Kill him. Lan Qiao really can't do anything to those who have surrendered. Don't kill him. Keeping him will only increase trouble.

During a moment of hesitation, Lan Qiao suddenly felt his ankle tighten, as if it was entangled with something. He tried hard to break away, but felt a surge of true energy, and he understood instantly.

Huayixi has arrived.

The location he is currently in is the stone chamber at "Di Qisan", and the cross golden feathers that Hua Yuxi attacked came from "Human Qisan" under the water under his feet.

The water has reached a depth of six to seven inches on the "ground" floor, which means that the stone chamber on the "human" floor has been completely submerged in water.

Hua Yuxi chose to dive and attack underwater, which was indeed unexpected.

If it were Lan Qiao before her skill breakthrough, she would be caught off guard and grab her ankle and pull her, even if she wouldn't fall down, she would at least stagger.

But now Lan Qiao has broken through to the fourth level of Qiankun Jue. Not only was he not pulled by her, but a counter-shock force was generated on the chain, which only made Hua Yuxi's chest feel tight and she almost choked.

Lan Qiao's feet immersed in the water were like tentacles filled with nerves, feeling any subtle changes in the water flow. It was like he had a pair of eyes that could see through the darkness, and he could clearly feel the situation under the water.

At this time, Hua Yuxi's whole body was immersed in the water, and the golden cross feathers poked out through a three-foot-wide hole connecting the two layers of "ground" and "people", and wrapped around his ankles.
