Chapter 1402 – Underwater Gallery
Originally, An Zheng, Monkey and the other two were still squatting on the riverbank joking, waiting for Du Shoushou to return. But after waiting for a long time and seeing that Du Shoushou still had not reached the shore, An Zheng stood up and looked towards the river, just in time to see a gigantic black shadow flash across the water.
“This is bad!”
An Zheng said softly, and teleported to the side of the river. Chen Shaobai and Monkey didn’t know what was going on, but they could hear the anxiety and unease in An Zheng’s tone. An Zheng and Monkey had just arrived.
“I’m afraid something must have happened to Du Shoushou. Brother Monkey, wait for us at the shore for support. I’ll go down with Xiao Bai to take a look first.”
An Zheng said to the monkey before jumping down. Chen Shaobai followed An Zheng and jumped into the red river, and didn’t even say a single word. They had reached a tacit understanding that they did not need to communicate with each other.
Although the name Chi He was a little turbid, but the majority of the river water was actually not turbid at all, if not An Zheng would not have immediately seen a gigantic black shadow within the water. When Du Shoushou had jumped into the water just now, the actions of the two had caused a wave of shocked cries.
The commoners saw someone jumping into the river and gathered around him.
An Zheng had Water Repelling Pearls on his body, and upon entering the river, the river automatically parted. There wasn’t a single drop of water within a three meter radius from him. Chen Shaobai followed An Zheng, and the two of them started to search the place cautiously.
“It seems to be over there.”
An Zheng pointed to the left and could feel the aura that remained in the river. Not only that, there was a faint smell of blood in the water. Both of them were very anxious and chased after that direction.
The river was too wide and the river was so deep that one could not see the bottom. Moreover, the water flow was very fast, so the scent of blood dispersed at an even faster rate. The two of them went up against the current for a bit and there were no longer any traces left behind. Even the faint smell of blood and Qi was flowing downstream.
An Zheng took a deep breath and started to concentrate his mind power to sense his surroundings. His perception was astonishing, and it quickly spread out in all directions. They were obviously in the dark and cool water, but a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on An Zheng’s forehead not long after. The one who was in trouble was Du Shoushou, how could An Zheng not be anxious?
“Over there!”
Two or three minutes later, An Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and pointed upstream. He could feel an abnormal flow of the river water upstream. The two of them sped up and headed upstream. Soon, they saw a red stream of water coming towards them. It was the blood that had yet to completely dissolve into the water.
An Zheng’s heart burned with anxiety as he increased his speed to its limit.
However, a gigantic whirlpool suddenly appeared. Both he and Chen Shaobai were swept into the whirlpool before they could even react. He could only feel that the speed of the water was extremely fast. The two of them were pulled into an extremely dark place by the whirlpool. Witfft sound, An Zheng’s feet landed on the ground. There was some softness under his feet, but it didn’t seem to be the sand at the bottom of the river.
“I’m going to die …”
Du Shoushou’s voice came from beneath his feet as he hurriedly stepped to the side.
Du Shoushou cried out, “Hand, hand!”
An Zheng had stepped on Du Shoushou’s butt, and stepped on Du Shoushou’s hand. Du Shoushou didn’t know how he fell down, but he laid face down on the ground. It seemed that his breathing wasn’t injured at all. An Zheng took out a few pearls and floated around his body. Following the arrival of the light, he gradually began to clearly see the environment here.
Raising his head, he could see that the huge whirlpool was still there. The river water was still floating magically above his head. The whirlpool was likuge funnel, but not a single drop of water fell down. They had all been brought here by the whirlpool, but this place was strangely dry without even a trace of water vapor.
“What the hell?”
Du Shoushou crawled up and rubbed his chest, since his chest was large enough to land first.
“Are you alright?”
An Zheng asked.
Du Shoushou checked his entire body once more, “I’m fine … I was just about to go up when a big fucking fish came to eat me. fat grandpa is still a River God, if I eat fish, wouldn’t it be a joke if I get the fish to eat me? fat grandpa forked … The trident stabbed into the big fish, and the big fish fled with my trident. That is a magical equipment from the fat grandpa, how could it possibly be lost.
Chen Shaobai looked around and realised that this place looked like an abandoned palace. The surrounding walls were mottled and one could faintly feel the power of the rune contained within the bricks. Although it was faint, it still maintained the stability of the place. The bricks were normal, An Zheng looked carefully, and determined that the age of the bricks were already so long ago that he could not accurately calculate it. If it wasn’t for the rune, it would have turned to dust long ago.
“There’s blood.”
Chen Shaobai pointed to the front.
There were still fresh blood stains on the ground. The blood hadn’t completely seeped into the bricks on the floor.
“fat grandpa’s Trident!”
Du Shoushou stood up and chased after the blood trail.
“Be careful.”
An Zheng shouted from behind as he sped up and caught up to Du Shoushou. This place looked really dilapidated. The bricks on the ground were very big and heavy, but they had already become potholes. Following the blood trail on the ground, he actually ran for four to five minutes without seeing the end of it. When he first entered, he felt that this place was like a great hall. However, now, he felt that this was a long corridor …
It was just that this corridor was too wide and large, so it gave off the impression that it waalace hall.
“Who would be so bored as to build such a corridor at the bottom of a river?”
Chen Shaobai’s face was filled with surprise. After all, this corridor was simply too big. In terms of width, it was no less than a hundred meters. In terms of length, it had now run for four or five minutes. Because it had to stare at the bloodstain, it could not teleport. The masonry used to build such a long underwater corridor could be piled into a mountain. Even if we destroyed the imperial city of the Great Western Jinling, we wouldn’t be able to take out that many bricks.
“Over there!”
Du Shoushou saw the gigantic black shadow in the distance at a glance, and quickly chased after him. That big fish obviously suffered heavy injuries. After all, Du Shoushou was also at the Celestial Sovereign Realm. His growth, was entirely something that An Zheng had helped to build up. All of the top-grade medicinal herbs, medicinal pellets, treasures and the like that Du Shoushou could devour all of them.
The big fish looked very strange. The head god was small, and his scales were very thick. He even had four legs. As if it was extremely scared, it turned its head to look and quickly crawled forward. However, due to its heavy injuries, the Triton was still stuck on its back, bleeding profusely. After crawling for such a long time, the blood flow was too much. It was obvious that his physical strength was insufficient.
Du Shoushou chased after it and jumped into the air. His feet landed on the head of the big fish and landed on it. With a bang, the head of the big fish smashed into the ground, causing quite a bit of the floor tiles to shatter. This place was already dilapidated to begin with, and with this collision, the entire corridor began to shake.
“Don’t be too fierce!”
An Zheng immediately shouted out: “If it’s too fierce, this place will collapse.”
Du Shoushou replied, he squatted down on top of the fish’s head and raised his hands to raise it up. When he thought of An Zheng’s words, he raised his hands and gently lowered them: “I’ll make you steal my trident, I’ll make you run … …”
Chen Shaobai said. “You fought as if you were flirting with her …”
Du Shoushou pulled out the Triton. The big fish had clearly almost lost its blood, but it actually did not have much. Du Shoushou jumped down from the back of the big fish and carefully examined the trident, afraid that it would break.
“What’s that?”
An Zheng suddenly noticed something on the body of the big fish, and quickly walked towards it. The big fish thought he was going to kill him, so they shrank to one side, but they were too weak to escape. An Zheng walked over to the big fish and saw that there was something embedded inside the big fish’s scales. He looked closer and found that the jade pendant was almost dead. The jade pendant had turned blue, and it felt as if it had grown rust.
He reached out to pick up the jade pendant, but the moment he touched it, the big fish immediately twisted in pain.
Du Shoushou was angry to begin with, when he saw the big fish twisting, he went up and held onto the big fish’s head, “Don’t move!”
An Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant over. The jade pendant was actually still wearing a long chain, and the chain was made of metal. There was no longer any trace of magical equipment on the jade pendant. It seemed to be an ordinary jade pendant. Perhaps the jade pendant was hanging on its body when the big fish was still not this big, and as it grew bigger, the pendant actually grew into its own flesh.
An Zheng turned the jade over to have a look, his expression immediately changing.
Although the jade pendant was broken, the word was still recognizable … On the other side of the jade pendant was an ancient seal character. There was only one word, nothing else.
“Do you know what is here? If you bring us there, we won’t kill you and we will even treat your injuries.”
An Zheng took out some medicine and sprinkled it on the big fish, the big fish immediately looked to be much more relaxed.
“Don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, I can kill you at any time.”
Du Shoushou threatened her with … Although the big fish had yet to take human form, its cultivation was not weak, and its intelligence was not low. It understood the language of humans when it heard it. The big fish unexpectedly nodded towards An Zheng as a form of agreement, and then struggled to get up, moving its four limbs, crawling out towards the front. An Zheng told Du Shoushou to contact Monkey not to worry about them, and followed the big fish straight ahead. This underwater corridor was simply too long. No one knew where it led to.
The big fish seemed to be very familiar with this place. Looking at its eyes, it seemed as if it was going home.
Just at this moment, the big fish suddenly stopped. An Zheng looked forward and his expression suddenly changed.
At the end of the corridor, there were two huge bronze doors.
