Chapter 508: Glowing White Shield
The light was so strong that it seemed to illuminate the entire seabed, so piercing that they couldn't open their eyes, they all subconsciously closed their eyes, covered them with their hands, looked through their fingers, and finally saw clearly that under the crater, there was a huge circular shield with a diameter of nearly ten zhang, and it was this shield that emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire crater, including the sea water above the pit.

In the middle of the water, the corpses of dead treasure hunters floated, clearly visible under the strong light, like birds with strange shapes flying in the air.
These Liao sailors were terrified and did not know what was happening.
They looked down through the gap in their palms, squinted, and finally saw a strange black spring at the bottom of the sea, gushing out more than a foot high, the size of a round table, and was constantly circulating black and bright water, and then falling from all sides, and then back into the spring, and the cycle was endless.
The large iron box they had put down had fallen a few feet away from the radiant circular shield, and the entire box had been badly twisted and collapsed inward. Streams of blood flowed clearly from the iron box, staining the nearby sea water red. The people inside knew at a glance that they were already dead
Looking at the bottom of the crater, it is actually a black and bright rock that emits a slight fluorescence, a whole rock without any gaps and connections, and there is not even a stone on the rock, so flat that people can't believe that it is a natural formation. Moreover, the black and bright color of the rocks at the bottom of the pit looks very strange.
They nervously searched for the trace of the elixir, but found nothing, except for the two night pearls lying quietly at the bottom of the pit, dimmed by the bright and dazzling light.
The leader gestured for the sailors to dive to the bottom of the pit to investigate.
The military order was like a mountain, and these remaining Liao sailors immediately dived down. However, after they dived a few feet, they felt a huge water pressure, squeezing their whole body violently, making them feel that their internal organs were about to be shattered, and their ears were in severe pain, but they still gritted their teeth and continued to dive, the speed had dropped very slowly, they saw each other that their bodies were twisting violently, especially the sailors who were diving in front, began to struggle violently, it seemed to be a fish thrown on the shore, jumping violently, but in a moment the whole body was paralyzed, lost its reaction, and the seven orifices floated bloodshot, and the corpse began to slowly float upwardγ
These fierce Liao sailors desperately swam down, trying to find a breakthrough from all directions, but one after another they were crushed by the powerful water pressure and their internal organs were shattered and died.
In the end, when the leading general felt that his nostrils were bleeding and could no longer support him, he could only gesture and order the remaining three Liao sailors to return with him.
At this time, the white round shield in the lower sea pit emitted a thousand feet of light, which had illuminated the entire sea area, and they did not need to use the light on the ice to confirm the location of the ice hole, and they could clearly see the place where the hole was located from a long distance, and successfully drilled out of the water from the ice hole, and returned to the ice along the soft ladder.
When Xiao Yanyan and Yang Xianmao heard the Liao army general gasping and telling what had happened, they were both surprised and happy, but they were even more nervous, especially Xiao Yanyan. Because, the sailors of the Liao army told her that they had observed that there were no pills, beads or anything like that in the water of the Styx River that came out of the sea pit under the sea pit, and the whole sea pit was a whole rock, very flat, without any gaps, and it could be seen clearly at a glance under the extremely strong light, and there were no pills or anything like anything in the entire sea pit, not even a stone.
Xiao Yanyan learned that the sailors they went down were basically dead, only these three remained, and they were all wounded. She was very anxious, and looked back at the hourglass, which was already the end of the day. As soon as the time passes, it is the most critical last hour.
If you don't get the elixir of immortality before the end of the time, this elixir won't appear again until 10,000 years later. But where is the elixir hidden? most likely in the dark and shiny waters of the River Styx. How can I find it and obtain it? Until now, Xiao Yanyan has no choice. Her sailors are dead, her two iron crates have been used up, and what else is there to do.
Her gaze turned to the rows of tents in the distance.
Those tents were set up by people from all over the world who came to hunt for treasures, and some of them went into the water and never came up, and some went down once or twice, knowing that they didn't have the ability to find the pill of immortality, so they gave up and hid in the tents to see the results.
At the moment, the only ones who can use it are these treasure hunters. You can't just watch this once-in-a-lifetime treasure disappear.
So, she instructed Jeruxiu, "Go and tell all the treasure hunters about this news, and tell them to go down to hunt for treasures according to their own fate, and whether they can get it depends on God's will." β
Jeruhuko nodded, walked out of the tent quickly, and took the soldiers to ring the gong to tell the good news.
Xiao Yanyan walked up to Yang Xianmao, looked at him and said, "Lord Yang, my people are all finished, and there is still no way to go down to the bottom of the sea pit." However, it was very strange that the iron box they threw down actually attracted something below, causing a circular shield to appear in the sea pit, radiating a brilliant light, illuminating the entire sea, and it was clear that there was indeed a river Styx surging below. β
"Really?"
"Well, now you can tell Miss Yellow to go down, but I don't have any sailors to help her, for all my sailors are basically dead, and the remaining three are seriously wounded. None of them were able to break through the last water-pressure barrier. The water pressure there is too strong for ordinary people to withstand. Now we just have to see if the yellow girl you brought has this ability, and see if she can help you refine the magic weapon with the water of the Styx. Of course, if you find the Immortal Pill below, it will also belong to you, and I will not fight for it, because this is God's will, don't worry. β
Yang Xianmao nodded. When he returned to the tent, he saw Xiao Yanyan and Feng Qiuyu talking nervously, while Huang Ding was sitting on the side in a daze. Seeing him come in, they all got up and hurriedly greeted him, Huang Qiaoqiao said: "I heard someone outside beating gongs and drums saying that the trench and the water of the River Styx have been found, let everyone go down to find the pill of immortality, and see if their fate can get the pill of immortality." Is it true?"
Huang Ding said nervously: "If this is the case, then I will go down too, this is the last hope to save my life." β
Yang Xianmao nodded slowly and said, "It's true." You two go down and try it, however, I heard that the water pressure there is very high, the sailors of the Liao army basically died there, and after going down, they were squeezed to the point of bleeding, and the two big iron boxes they put down were also squeezed and twisted and deformed, so it can be seen that the water pressure is not acceptable to ordinary people, so you can try it, but don't fight with your life, no matter how good it is, you can't enjoy it without life. If it doesn't work, go back right away, don't hesitate. β
Huang Qiaoqiao nodded solemnly, but Huang Ding smiled miserably and said: "I will die soon when I come back, rather than this, it is better to die under the ice layer of this extremely arctic cold land, and bury here with a few of my brothers." I won't give up, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent!"
With that, Huang Ding stepped out of the tent. Huang Qiaoqiao said to Yang Xianmao: "I do my best, if it still doesn't work, I can only say I'm sorry." β
Yang Xianmao hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You must not take risks, I would rather not have that magic weapon." Remember not to take any chances! You have done a very good job and fulfilled your promise. β
Huang Qiaoqiao smiled astringently, shook his head, didn't say anything, and walked straight outside the tent.
Yang Xianmao suddenly remembered something and said, "You wait, you come back first." β
Huang Qiaoqiao didn't know what he was going to say, and turned back to the tent. Yang Xianmao put the curtain of the tent and said in a low voice: "I think of a way, isn't the pressure under the water great? You dismantled the scale armor vests of both of us, and put all the scale armor into a body protection vest, and the hat is the same." There are scale vests and hats, which may be able to withstand strong water pressure. β
Huang Qiaoqiao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she nodded excitedly. The scale armor of the big crocodile can't even penetrate with a knife or gun, and it may be able to deal with this terrible water pressure.
Yang Xianmao immediately took off his coat, took off the scale armor vest he was wearing and the scale armor hat on his head, handed it to her and said: "There is still some time, don't worry, remove these scale armor and sew it up again, sew it into your water back, I will find a helmet that can wrap the whole head for you later, and you sew the small scales inside the hats of the two of us." Your whole water is going to cover your entire body and, at the same time, cover your head. This is the most critical. There is still an hour before the hour, and it is useless for you to go down now, and you will go down when the time comes. Now slowly sew the vest hat. β
Huang Qiaoqiao nodded solemnly, and a glint of joy appeared on her face.
Before this, she had already made up her mind that even if she died, she would complete this mission for Yang Xianmao. When she swore an oath, she promised to fulfill her promise even at the cost of her life. At the end of the day, it's impossible to back down. But she couldn't tell Yang Xianmao what she was thinking, because then Yang Xianmao would stop her.
She was already preparing to go to the sea with the determination to die, but now that Yang Xianmao said this new method, she suddenly saw the hope of survival, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and had a feeling of escaping death.
After Yang Xianmao gave her the things, she came out of the tent and called her guards and told them to surround the tent and guard them, and no one was allowed to enter. He couldn't let anyone know that Xiao Yanyan had such a protective armor, otherwise it would cause disaster.
Yang Xianmao asked the guards to find a helmet that could cover the entire head and face. This is very easy, and some of the soldiers of the Liao army have this kind of helmet. After bringing it, Yang Xianmao sent the helmet into the tent to Huang Qiaoqiao, and then he came out and stood at the door to guard it personally.
