Chapter 117: The Gold Eater
The light in the space at the bottom of the water is dim.
The group of four was slowly moving forward, they were always vigilant, lest there was any danger suddenly approaching around them.
I don't know how long I walked.
"Stop!" Dong Tu Nan took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing briefly, and the blood in his body gradually returned to normal.
Even though this was a separate space underwater, the strong water pressure above still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Wu Han looked at him and stopped, and asked beside him.
"There's movement around. ”
"Anyone?" all three of them were worried.
Based on their perception, they didn't notice anything abnormal, but when they thought of Dong Tunan's perverted talent, they immediately chose to trust.
However, everyone's mood in the face of danger is different.
For Dongtunan, these are all fine.
After all, the experience of his previous life is very rich. And in this life, starting from Baihan Village and going all the way to the Yunwu Mountain Realm, there are various life-and-death tests along the way, and he can remain calm in the face of danger.
And Wu Qi and Han Wancheng were even calmer, they had often gone out to practice, what mountain demons and beasts, bandits and robbers, and all the tribulations they had experienced. It also honed a firm mindset.
But for Wu Han, it was not so easy.
As the third lady of the martial family, the pearl of the old man of the martial family, she has lived in Biwa Jinyong since she was a child, and all the resources are arranged by the family.
It can be said that I have basically not experienced any big ups and downs. This can be seen from the previous incident of the Moon Cold Valley, as soon as it was calculated, it was immediately chaotic, if it wasn't for Dongtunan's last move, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, the increasingly solemn atmosphere around her gave her great pressure, her heart had already risen to her throat, her nerves were tense, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
Dongtu looked at the south side and noticed Wu Han's unnatural state, and understood that she was too nervous, so he stepped over.
Da-da-da.
As soon as she took a few steps, Dong Tu Nan saw Wu Han turn around, she looked at herself with a pale face, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly screamed.
"Ah——!h
The sharp voice directly penetrated the eardrums of the three of them, Dong Tu Nan was startled, and Wu Qi and Han Wancheng also quickly turned around and looked at her in surprise.
"Who!?" Wu Qi jumped directly in front of Wu Han, his eyes looking around, and he put on a fighting posture.
Seeing his panicked look, Wu Han also looked relieved, his face softened a lot, and he barely showed a trace of apology.
Wu Qi watched for a long time, but he didn't find anyone, turned his head and saw the strange expression of his third sister, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"You're too nervous, relax. Dong Tu Nan continued to walk forward to Wu Han, then looked at her snow-like face and said softly.
"Yes, third sister, you are the highest cultivator among us, you can't drop the chain! Wu Qi also knew that his third sister was afraid because he was afraid, so he deliberately said so.
"Yes, yes, although my old Han is bold, in terms of cultivation strength, I have to rely on Miss Wu Han!" Han Wancheng also cheered her up.
Hearing that they were all encouraging him, Wu Han's heart was also a little more confident, and he gradually soothed his face a little, and squeezed out a smile: "Okay!"
"Attention. ”
Dong Tu Nan turned around and walked a few steps forward, tiptoeing to look ahead, and could see a majestic and simple palace, which exuded a vast and heavy momentum.
"Later, I will also ask Miss Wu Han to use the sword net to cover us, and then everyone follow me, the mountain wolf is very likely to be inside this palace, so everyone must be careful and pay attention to the changes around us. Dong Tu Nan reminded.
"Okay, no problem!" Wu Qi said first.
"I don't know any of this, so I'll listen to you. Han Wancheng also laughed.
Wu Han nodded slightly, agreeing with Dong Tunan's idea.
For a while, the three of them seemed to have regarded Dongtunan as their backbone, and their sense of trust in each other was slowly increasing.
Whoa!
Dong Tu Nan first pulled out the Mo Han sword and held it tightly in his hand in case of emergency.
"Everybody's ready!"
Seeing this, Han Wancheng immediately took out two sledgehammers, which seemed to be not light, but they were also very suitable for him.
With a wave of his hands, a pair of big swords flashed out.
Everyone is ready, just waiting for the password of Dong Tu Nan.
"Action!"
With Dong Tu Nan's gesture, Wu Han, who was dressed in a light blue robe, held a water blue sword in his hand and immediately urged.
"Whew~"
A swift whirlwind swept by, and countless sword shadows suddenly shot out from Wu Han's hand, forming a sharp sword net, and in an instant, he and the three of them were all enveloped.
"Come with me!" said Dong Tunan.
"Let's go. ”
Whoosh.
The four of them were covered by the sword net as they walked in the direction of the palace in front of them.
There are dangers lurking around, as if there are thousands of dangers lurking, and from time to time there are ghosts and ghosts scurrying, they stay in the sword net of sword qi, and to a certain extent, they also avoid the danger of being attacked.
Those ghostly shadows fluttered, and at first some tried to get closer, but they were directly cut off by the fierce sword qi, and they were beaten to pieces. Perhaps it was to deter them, and gradually, there was no intrusion.
Not long after, the four of them, under the protection of the sword net, quietly landed in front of a gate of the palace.
The majestic palace, a golden stone door several zhang wide and high, like a heavy stone mountain, stacked in front of you, a kind of ancient and simple atmosphere, coming to you.
Everyone looked up, this palace was not much high, and in the middle of its palace wall, there were two magnificent patterns carved, like some kind of fierce beast, imposing.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Dong Tu Nan walked in front, followed by the other three, who walked in through the golden stone door.
Dong Tu Nan stepped into the main hall first, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person was in darkness, and he could only identify the road under his feet by some faint light and shadow.
"Beware, everyone!" he cried out in a low voice.
Wu Qi and Han Wancheng were close together, observing their surroundings very vigilantly, their eyes dark and shining, as if this darkness did not have any effect on them.
"Uh......" Wu Han, who was advancing, suddenly seemed to have stepped on something, and couldn't help but look awkward, and suddenly stopped and became nervous.
"It's like... There are ......," she said in a timid tone.
"What," Dong Tu Nan suddenly said, "You... Stepped on my foot......"
"Huh?!" When Wu Han heard this, he quickly retracted his feet, and turned his body sideways to be stunned for a while.
Dong Tu Nan smiled, but he didn't see it. In this darkness, a touch of blush appeared on Wu Han's soft and pretty face.
A small episode passed, and everyone continued to slowly grope forward.
Darkness obscured their vision, and at the same time hid many unknown dangers. Therefore, it is necessary to be vigilant in case of accidents.
Boom.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in front of him, sounding like something gnawing on wood.
"Keep an eye on your step. "In dealing with the unknown, Wu Qi seems to be very experienced, even when he goes to the forefront, step by step to probe forward.
Dong Tu Nan and the others also followed behind him in response and began to move slowly.
Creak.
As the distance approached, the sound became more and more pronounced, and it sounded like it was in front of me, lingering in my ears.
"What is it?" Han Wancheng couldn't help but mutter.
As a woman, Wu Han seems to have a natural fear of these strange things. At this time, hearing these movements, he immediately became a little flustered, and couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword in his hand.
"It's coming. Wu Qi let out a low sigh.
The next moment, in the dim sight of everyone, a fist-sized golden retriever suddenly appeared, looking around.
"What is this?" asked Dong Tu Nan softly.
Wu Qi stared at it intently, and explained in a whisper, "The Gold Eater Rat, a special rat that feeds exclusively on metal, has a pair of teeth like black steel, and has an almost perverted bite force. They go down in one bite, and there are few metal materials that can withstand them. ”
"So terrifying?" Dong Tu Nan couldn't help but be stunned.
"The horror of the gold eaters is not their strong bite. Wu Han said.
"Where's the horror?"
"It is said that gold-eating rats usually live in groups, often tens of thousands or even millions of them together, and if they see metal, they will desperately rush upwards. They were huge in number, and they were menacing, and ordinary source martial artists couldn't stop them at all. Even the powerhouses of the Condensation Source Realm would be submerged in an instant. Speaking of this, a trace of horror flashed in Wu Han's eyes.
Clang~
Dong Tu Nan accidentally touched something and was about to reach out to grab it, but he was still a beat too slow.
A piercing metal crash resounded in the hall.
"Not good!" The moment this roar just spread, Dong Tu Nan secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
Everyone realized that the location was exposed, so they didn't care so much, and immediately turned around and ran away.
Dong Tu Nan was annoyed for a while, grabbed the piece of metal that had been knocked off for some reason, and then ran wildly.
Wow!
The sound of footsteps kicking the ground was heard, echoing in the open space.
Everything happened so suddenly, in just a moment, the four of them had already changed from cautious exploration at the beginning to fleeing in a panic now.
The metal roared suddenly, and the gold-devouring rat reacted quickly, making a squeaking sound from its mouth, as if calling its companions.
Knock Knock......
The floor of the entire hall began to tremble, as if something was about to appear, and there was a constant noise all around.
In the midst of the darkness, one after another silver-haired rats appeared, grinding their teeth so creaking that they wanted to bite the rocks on the ground.
Thousands of silver-haired gold-devouring rats poured out one after another, gathering from all corners of the main hall, centered on the location of the previous golden-haired gold-devouring rat.
In an instant, tens of thousands of silver-haired gold-devouring rats had gathered together, and the number was still rising, and the scene was quite shocking.
They all stretched out their heads and squeaked a few times forward, and then suddenly became agitated, shaking their heads and screaming wildly, all rushing in one direction.
That direction is exactly where Dongtu Nan and his party are running wildly......
