Chapter 132 The Underground River, Three Fifth Ranks
"Underground river! Is there any way to enter the underground river in Liuhu Lake?"
Jiang Wuji suddenly shouted, frightening everyone, but when they heard the words "underground river", Li Changfeng slapped the unconscious Zheng Xinghe on the face.
"Snapped!"
"Master Zheng, wake up."
"Bah bang bang!"
When the greasy face became more swollen, Zheng Xinghe finally woke up with burning pain.
Li Changfeng repeated Jiang Wuji's words. Zheng Xinghe, who was covering the right side of his face, took a sip and said, "When Mr. Liu was looking for water, he opened a trail."
Zheng Xinghe, who was in a daze, led the way. After about half an hour, everyone squeezed in through a crack in the rock wall.
As Zheng Xinghe said, this is a narrow path that can only be passed by one person. In some places, you even have to bend sideways.
Zhu Yao walked in front holding a luminous bead to ensure her sight. After walking for another half an hour, her eyes suddenly opened up.
The place we are in now is an empty cave. The temperature inside the cave is freezing cold and the humidity is very heavy. Water condenses into beads on the rock walls, and small puddles can be seen everywhere on the uneven ground.
There is also a natural passage deep in the cave, sloping downward and deep into the ground.
But just when Jiang Wuji was about to dive in, Zhu Yao stopped him, "Wait, wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wuji asked.
The light of the beads reflected Zhu Yao's little face as white as snow, but at this moment, this delicate little face was filled with solemnity.
Zhu Yao used her fingertips to stick a drop of water on the rock wall of the tunnel, then stretched out her pink tongue and touched it lightly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wuji asked again.
Zhu Yao wrinkled her nose and said, "You will know after you taste it."
Jiang Wuji and Li Changfeng looked at each other, then followed Zhu Yao's example and ate some water drops from the rock wall.
Li Changfeng: "Is there any problem with this?"
Jiang Wuji: "I can't taste it."
Zhu Yao: "This water is poisonous."
"?"×2
Seeing the stunned expressions of the two of them, Zhu Yao smiled wildly, but what she didn't know was that Xiaoyu's face behind her had completely darkened.
It's impossible to hide the look in a person's eyes that wants to stab someone. Fortunately, Zhu Yao spoke quickly.
"Don't worry, the poison here is very weak and has no effect on us, but if we really go in... it won't necessarily be the case."
Zhu Yao's words basically proved that Jiang Wuji's conjecture was correct.
But now that it's here, even if it's known that the source of the poison is inside, it's impossible to give up.
For safety reasons, Xiao Yucao stayed in the cave to prevent anyone from blocking the exit, while Jiang Wuji went down with Li Changfeng and Zhu Yao.
As for Zheng Xinghe, who was no longer useful, he was also left in the cave.
After a stick of incense, the sound of water was deafening.
The underground river was finally found, and the current was faster than expected.
But I don't know where the light source comes from. Although it is very weak, there is no need to rely on the beads in Zhu Yao's hand.
In addition, there is no need to study how the water was injected into Liuhu Lake, because the source of the poison is right in front of everyone.
Rat carcasses pile up like mountains on both sides of the river bed. The river occasionally carries some rat carcasses away, but according to the water output of Liuhu Lake, the number is very small.
At this time, Jiang Wuji frowned, because these dead rats were exactly the same as those they had encountered in the tomb before, both in terms of death shape and size.
In other words, this underground river is connected with the underground river in the tomb, and even this underground space is connected together!
"This should be... black poison!" Zhu Yao's face almost turned to water.
After determining the type of poison source, she hurriedly took out a jade bottle from her small bag and distributed a small brown pill to Jiang Wuji and Li Changfeng.
"Eat it quickly. This poison can spread through the air. We are already poisoned now."
Although Jiang Wuji had doubts in his mind, he didn't say much at this moment and honestly took Zhu Yao's pills.
"Didn't the black poison disappear thirty years ago? Why is it still there?" Li Changfeng, holding the ink sword, looked at the pile of rat corpses, and the flesh in the corners of his eyes seemed to be beating.
"Is this black poison very powerful?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Zhu Yao nodded her chin and said: "It's very powerful. This poison is refined from the body of rats. The poisoned person will not die immediately, but the skin will gradually turn black and rot, and then the internal organs will become necrotic one by one. Finally,
Die in inhuman pain."
"And this poison is very contagious. Based on the number of rat corpses here, it can definitely cause a major epidemic!"
Li Changfeng took over the conversation and said: "Judging from the surrounding terrain, this underground river will have a rising tide. Once the tide rises, all these rat corpses carrying black poison will be washed into the river, merged into Liuhu Lake, and finally into Baiyue City.
"
Zhu Yao was still frightened, and her little chest was heaving, "Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise not only Baiyue City, but the entire South Vietnam would have turned into a living hell and become the second Leping!"
"Burn these rat carcasses first. When I get back, I will report it to the lord of the department and conduct a thorough investigation of this place to prevent any omissions." Li Changfeng paused for a moment, then turned to face Jiang Wuji and bowed with his hands.
"Brother Jiang! If it weren't for you this time, the people of South Vietnam would not be able to escape this disaster! I would like to express my gratitude to the people of South Vietnam!"
Jiang Wuji waved his hands and said, "Okay, stop pretending, you have no mercy, why should I do it for you."
Li Changfeng smiled awkwardly and said: "After all, he is from Fengtiansi, so he still has to behave appropriately."
At this moment, a contemptuous sound suddenly sounded.
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that the people in Fengtiansi are also just showing off."
When I heard the sound, I saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat crouching on a rock wall not far away.
He carried a slender bamboo pole behind his back, a fishing net in his right hand, and an old fish basket on his left side.
"Fisherman?! I didn't expect to see you here." Li Changfeng stared at that figure with a sneer on his lips.
The old man who was called the fisherman stood up slowly and said sadly: "Yes, I didn't expect that your burial place, Li Changfeng, would be here."
"We are both in the fifth rank. To say this is to look down on me." Li Changfeng said with a smile.
It turns out that they are both at the fifth level, so the situation is stable. Li Changfeng is a fifth-level Taoist who can compete with the fourth level.
At this moment, two more figures slowly walked out from behind the fisherman.
A charming woman in a red dress and a monk with a fat head and round ears.
"Bone-bone hands, smiling monk? What kind of wind is blowing in Baiyue, and you two are actually here." When he saw these two people, Li Changfeng no longer had any smile on his face.
At the same time, Jiang Wuji's mind heard Li Changfeng's secret voice.
"Three fifth-grade ones are invincible. You go and I'll stop them."
Zhu Yao looked at Li Changfeng angrily and said directly: "Who do you look down on?"
Li Changfeng shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make trouble at this time!"
Zhu Yao ignored Li Changfeng, but turned to Jiang Wuji and said, "Let's go, Li Changfeng and I can deal with these three bastards."
Jiang Wuji parroted: "Who do you look down on?"
Zhu Yao angrily gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "They are all fifth grade!"
"It's okay, just add more money." Jiang Wuji had a smile on his face. In fact, he wanted to leave, but he just couldn't.
If Li Changfeng and Zhu Yao were here, then these monsters from the Red Lotus Sect would definitely not let him go. After all, the source of the poison is here, and killing people and silencing them is the basic rule.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to stay and increase your chances of winning.
At this time, the charming Su Gu covered her mouth with her hands and smiled wildly, "Oh~ I still need to pay more~ This seventh-grade guy has such a big voice, but I don't know if other places are big..."
Talking to me about this really gets me excited... Jiang Wuji stared at the towering chest and replied, "Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Seeing that the nonsense was almost over, the fisherman took off the fishing rod from his back and said: "Okay, no more gossip. Li Changfeng leaves it to me, the Smiling Monk, to deal with that girl. Please don't make such a fuss at this moment with your crisp-bone hand."
Lang, come here and help me as soon as possible!"
At the same time, Li Changfeng once again sent a message to Jiang Wuji: "This bone hand Qi Yuan is unstable. He must have just entered the fifth level. Be careful with it. I will help you after I deal with the fisherman!"
As Jiang Wuji nodded, a burst of fragrance hit his face.
When Jiang Wuji lowered his head, a pair of weak, boneless white hands had already penetrated through the waistband of his pants.
