There was the sound of water in the distance, and the sound of iron ropes mixed with the sound of water.
There was a fork in front of the road, which was divided into three roads. Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie chose the road with the sound of water and went down the stone steps. The air became cold and moist, the echo became louder, the field of vision gradually became brighter, and there was sunlight coming from the front. Come.
The stone brick wall beside the stone steps gradually turned into an iron rope, and a short stone pillar appeared after ten steps. Outside the iron rope, there was a return wind blowing, and it was a cliff.
After turning a corner, the view is completely widened. It is a huge cave. The sun penetrates through the cracks in the stone. On the opposite side is a vast water, flowing straight down and plummeting into the abyss.
The sound of the iron ropes they heard came from the iron chains in the water. The huge iron chains tied several large waterwheels. As the waterwheels swung, the iron chains also rotated, linking unknown objects in the darkness in the distance.
"We couldn't hear such a loud noise until we were here," Xia Zhaoyi said. "Those stone walls are supposed to be soundproof, but I don't know who designed and built them in the first place."
"The water is very big," Shen Lie said. "The snow water on land is not melting as fast as this now. The water here may be a river."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the waterfall on the opposite side, with white air piercing the air and flying thunder. This place was probably the branch of the river at the foot of the mountain northwest of Yuanhe Sect.
"I probably know where we are," Xia Zhaoyi said thoughtfully, "If there is a hiding place in this area, it will definitely not be difficult to find it."
Shen Lie looked at her.
"Let me recall." Xia Zhaoyi said, then closed his eyes.
Her vision returned all the way, and then the entire space was instantly shattered in her mind. Thousands of stones burst into pieces, dismantled layer by layer, and rebuilt from the abyss where they first came down.
There are six floors of cable bridge up and down. The wooden planks of the cable bridge are quickly laid out, extending to the unknown front. Her figure appears outside the stone door of the platform where she came in.
The distance after entering through the stone door, the terrace going up, the lamp holders on both sides, the several bifurcated openings we encountered on the steps, the direction in which the bifurcated corridors extend, the suddenly open space on the steps, The oncoming rats in the corridor
The line of sight stretches all the way, passing through the rats, passing through the stone chamber, and entering another corridor.
Everywhere she walked, the upper and lower levels were clear and bright.
The unknown place is hazy and gloomy, so break through it again and stay outside to overlook the earth.
The cold wind roared high in the sky, passing through the wilderness mountains and rivers. In the distance, Yuanhe Sect only occupied a sporadic corner in the huge Longdan Mountain.
All things flourish in summer and wither in winter. The vegetation of mountains and rivers can not only see the changes in the four seasons, but also determine the trends of mountains and rivers.
Which directions will be dead ends, which directions may be sources of water supply, and which directions have endless possibilities.
Finally, their eyes fell on the cave where they were now, where a huge river broke through the mountain and rushed wildly.
Xia Zhaoyi opened her eyes, raised her head and smiled: "Found it!"
Every time she smiles, Shen Lie feels happy.
"Where." Shen Lie said.
"But there may not be a way out," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Are we divided into two groups? I'll climb up and you will go?"
""
"Mountain climbing," Xia Zhaoyi pointed to the stone wall behind them, "I'm talking about mountain climbing."
"I know," Shen Lie said, "No, there may not be a way to climb the mountain, and you are sick. If you are not careful,"
He stopped and didn't dare to say anything anymore. He felt scared just thinking about it. He was rarely a scared person.
"Well, you are also a patient, so you shouldn't worry about me," Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Then let's find a way."
She turned around and walked up, saying, "I don't know where your eldest brother is. There are many of them, so nothing will happen."
"They are deep in the city and cautious in doing things, so they probably won't." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
All lampholders that can be lit have been lit.
The surrounding fire was clear, illuminating a total of sixteen large iron cages above the head, nine of which had bones inside, and seven of which were empty.
The highest iron cage was at least fifty feet away from them, and the lowest iron cage was only three feet high.
There were rows and rows of long stone steps going down from where they came in, with a total of about twenty floors. Opposite at the bottom was a platform three feet high. Three large alchemy furnaces were placed on the platform. Because the platform was too spacious, the three The big alchemy furnace looked lonely and deserted.
Shen Xu was now standing on the stone steps opposite the platform, looking at the three large alchemy furnaces. There was no firelight there, so he could only take a rough look in the darkness.
These three large alchemy furnaces were exactly the same as the largest large alchemy furnace they saw in the first alchemy room.
But there was an alchemy room, and here it was more like a large, open space.
Although the platform is empty, the furnishings and carvings are very detailed, including the patterns on the edges of the platform, which shows how much attention was paid to these three great alchemy furnaces.
The reason why Shen Xu didn't go there was because there was a snake on the ground.
It was a very thick snake with a high neck and a long tongue that spit out messages. It was the same venomous snake that the girl had killed before, and it was from the mountains. However, this snake was much fatter.
Shen Xu felt that her legs were a little weak
The two men are already holding swords, and they must be killed with one blow.
Shen Xu watched them go by, paused, and turned back to look at where they came from.
"Sir," Rou Gu looked at him, "You go and have a rest."
"Okay, call me." Shen Xu closed her eyes and said.
"Okay." Rougu said.
Just as he finished speaking, a scream was heard.
Rougu turned around in shock, only to see another venomous snake appear in the dark corner and attack one of her men, targeting his neck.
When his men fell to the ground, they cut the poisonous snake in half. The poisonous snake on the high platform was obviously more cunning. After he was knocked down by his companions, he attacked him and directly tried to swallow him into the snake's belly.
Rougu immediately drew her sword and rushed towards the high platform. Together with another subordinate, she stabbed the poisonous snake on the high platform with her sharp sword. However, she saw several more poisonous snakes appearing on the other side of the high platform.
"Get back!" Shen Xu shouted.
In such a short time, the man who was attacked was already dying. The venom from the two poisonous snakes made him vomit and convulse, and the arm that he struggled to pull out of the snake's mouth had begun to fester.
Rou Gu stepped back, unable to bear it, she suddenly raised her sword and wiped the man's neck, sending him on his last journey.
"There are some here too!" A subordinate shouted from a distance, "Sir, there are three snakes here!"
"I have them here too!" the other men shouted.
"Sir, there are four venomous snakes here!"
Shen Xu almost fainted.
Trembling and running up to the top of the steps, he stared at the venomous snakes below with a pale face. The jars of venomous snakes and the jars of poisonous wine soaked in venomous snakes seemed to become vivid in his memory in an instant.
Suddenly feeling nauseated, Shen Xu turned around and leaned on the ground, opened her mouth and vomited.
"Sir." Rou Gu quickly raised her hand and patted his back.
