Chapter 55: The Sand River Sinking Boat

"Passing by, stop by and take a look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Night Star said with a blank expression.

"How long have you been sitting? Why didn't you call the squire? Do you make your own tea? Seeing that there were only father and son, Queen Huazun turned her head to the Yahuan beside her and said, "Who is on duty today?" ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to be polite, I'll go first." Night Star stood up, opened the tea bowl and looked at it, "The tea is too hot, I didn't drink it in one sip, it's a pity." ”

"Give me a good pot of tea next time." Emperor Xuan said with a smile on his face.

Empress Huazun looked at a cup full of freshly brewed tea, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

……

In the inner room of Empress Huazun, the girl on duty in Emperor Xuan's bedroom knelt on the ground.

Empress Huazun had a cold face: "How long has he stayed?" ”

Yahuan lowered her head and said, "Less than half a pillar of incense." ”

"Hmph, that's enough to say. What do you hear? ”

"Didn't hear anything."

"I haven't heard anything, do you want me to help you remember?"

"Niangniang spare your life, the prince...... The crown prince asked the emperor to ride a horse. ”

"Has the emperor agreed?"

"I didn't say yes." Yahuan thought to herself, it was the norm for Emperor Xuan not to agree. As for the other things they said, they were far away, and they were saying things from east to west, and they really didn't understand what they were saying.

"Mother, the princess asks to see." A girl at the door came to report.

An extremely beautiful looking girl in palace clothes rushed in like a gust of wind, and saw that Emperor Xuan's girl on duty was still kneeling on the ground, waved her sleeves and said, "You step back first, I have something to say to the queen mother." ”

"What's the matter with Rou'er?" When Empress Huazun saw Princess Yanrou, she showed a truly kind smile.

"Queen Mother, Qing Cang had a conflict with Li Xian today." Yan Rou has always been very dissatisfied with Marshal Li Xian, because Li Xian doesn't like Qingcang.

"Oh? Sit down and tell me more. ”

……

Lu Xiaofan was next to Di Luojin, and when he saw a clump of brown bristles coming out of the sand, he hurriedly shouted: "Get out of the way, there's something." ”

The other members of the team all rushed into the air, only to see a giant insect with two heads quickly burrowing out of the sand like a centipede, covered with brown stiff hairs, standing tall and standing fifty or sixty meters high. It opened its scimitar-like jaws on both sides and spewed out pillars of sand mixed with black liquid at the immortals.

At this time, the whirlpool on the sand rolled up, and dozens of such giant insects drilled out in unison, the sand pillars flew sideways, the sand curtain covered the sky, and the black liquid sprayed onto the rocks on the ground, and the white smoke of the rocks rose straight up.

"Oh no, Sister Tong's backpack is still underneath." Qiu Yurong said urgently.

"I'll get it." Jiang Tong said and flew down.

"Cover Sister Tong!" Qiu Yurong pulled the string with her bow, and the sharp arrow whizzed towards the giant insect. However, the skin of the giant insect seems to be quite thick, and the body is still as fierce as usual when it is full of arrows.

"Huh~~" Yao Qifang's short spear pierced the top of a giant worm's head, and the giant worm shook a few times. "Whoosh", Zheng Dan's series of arrows shot into the top of its other head, and the giant insect fell heavily, raising up the sky full of dust.

"Attack the top of the giant worm's head!" Zheng Dan shouted.

Lu Xiaofan saw Jiang Tong struggling to shuttle between the sand pillar and the black liquid, his heart moved, he pulled out his double daggers and rushed down, stepped on the head of a giant worm, stabbed the dagger with a swing, turned around and did a somersault, and stabbed down with a dagger on the other head of the giant insect. Before the giant insect fell, he carried the fairy spirit to chase the moon and used the sword technique of the ice wheel battle blade to the extreme, and the giant insect fell down with a low howl.

"Lu Xiaofan, you really have yours." Zheng Dan patted Lu Xiaofan's shoulder and praised sincerely.

Jiang Tong smiled slightly: "The general didn't see the wrong person. ”

At this moment, I heard a loud sound of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, and the place where the immortals were standing suddenly sank. From above, a huge whirlpool was swirling in the sand.

……

The pain all over his body was in front of him, and there was darkness in front of him. Lu Xiaofan lay on the ground, moved his hands and feet, but fortunately there were no fractures. What was the situation just now? was talking to Sister Tong and the others, when suddenly his feet sank, his eyes were dark, and then he was squeezed so that he couldn't breathe, and then he passed out. All this happened too fast, what about Sister Tong?

Lu Xiaofan sat up slowly, groping for the equipment on his body, except for ropes and bows, other things were still there. Lu Xiaofan took out the dagger and stood quietly, concentrating. When the eyes gradually adjust to the darkness in front of them, they can vaguely see that this is a vast underground space, and when they look up, they only see darkness. The air was a little damp and cold, with the occasional dripping sound of water, and there seemed to be a vague sound of water flowing in the distance.

The teammates fell from the same position just now, they should not be far away at this moment, they have to look for it quickly, they must be safe! Lu Xiaofan rummaged through his equipment, and suddenly remembered that there were scales given by Huo'er in the pocket of his underwear. Quickly took out the scales, and a little fiery red shimmer lit up in the dark space, although faint, it was also extremely bright in such darkness. Huo'er is really a lucky star, and has repeatedly helped herself at critical moments.

"Sister Tong~~Yurong~~~Zheng Dan~~~Qifang~~~!" Lu Xiaofan called softly, it is best not to make loud noises in such an unfamiliar environment, so as not to attract unknown trouble.

"Little fan, I'm here." Jiang Tong responded.

Lu Xiaofan followed the sound and walked over, and saw Jiang Tong kneeling on the ground picking up the dropped equipment.

"Sister Tong, how are you?" Lu Xiaofan was worried that Jiang Tong would be injured.

"I'm fine," Jiang Tong said, taking out a box from his backpack and opening it, there were several spar necklaces inside. "Here, put it on." Jiang Tong took a necklace and hung it around Lu Xiaofan's neck, and the light of the spar gradually lit up, and in the blink of an eye, the light was great.

Lu Xiaofan finally saw the surrounding situation clearly, this is a very large place, on the left hand side is a fairly flat rocky ground, and there is a passage at the end, and the ground at the mouth of the passage is covered with water. On the right, there is a path that slopes upwards against the rock wall, leading to a strange rock structure overhead, like a horizontal skyscraper, and the outer wall of the "building" is covered with large and small square panes.

Lu Xiaofan and Jiang Tong searched around the space, but they didn't find any trace of other immortals.

"It's strange, did they fall somewhere else? I obviously fell in from the same position. Lu Xiaofan couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Tong pondered for a while, pointed to the "building" and said, "Go up and have a look first." ”

Jiang Tong took Lu Xiaofan to drill into the "building" along the ramp one after the other, but fortunately he did not encounter any danger along the way. The horizontal building looks more like the bilge of a large ship, divided into several floors and with the same structure: passages on either side and two rows of rooms in the middle. Jiang Tong and Lu Xiaofan searched door to door, but found nothing except a dusty badge. The entire interior of the "building" is as clean as if it had been cleared. Just when the two immortals were about to give up, they arrived at a room at the bottom of the "building" on the top floor, and this room actually had a door made of metal. Pushing open the door, the sight is incredible. It's a control room-like place, with a stone console covered with silver metal lines like copper wires on circuit boards, with grooves of varying shapes and sizes that seem to require the placement of various components. There is a recliner-like "position" in the center of the console, and there is also a shallow groove in the armrest. Jiang Tong took out the badge he had just found and compared it, which happened to be the same shape as the shallow groove. Jiang Tong thought about it, put away the badge again, and said to Lu Xiaofan: "Find them first." ”

……

"General." Scythe respectfully handed over a silk book.

Nightstar opened the silk book, his brow furrowed. Half a year ago, the list was only a thin piece of paper, but now it is a book. The power of King Hua Zishan of Ping expanded more and more rapidly, and now it has infiltrated the descendants of Marshal Li Xian, and the trend of Han Yun replacing Li Xian is gradually obvious. His own army was also affected, no wonder Meng Qing dared to be so presumptuous in the army. What kind of means did King Ping use?

In recent years, my father's words and deeds have become more and more strange, and he seems to be constrained everywhere. Thinking about it, after he returned from exile in the Ethereal Realm, he never had a long talk with him alone, and Empress Huazun was always with him. What is my father looking for? What does the "S" he drew on the table represent?

After reading the roster, the night star lifted in the air, and the book turned into ashes. Lu Xiaofan came to Lingyuntian at this time, although he was happy, he also began to worry, but no matter what, he had to withstand all kinds of pressure to protect her well.

"General Chu, please summon all the commanders to the council hall, I want to discuss the expedition plan."

"Fang Ce, you go to the mortal realm and give this to Wanqiu." Night Star said, handing Fang Ce a rectangular green jade pendant.

……

Lu Xiaofan and Jiang Tong went down to the stone cave space, followed the passage at the end of their left hand, and flowed through a waist-deep puddle to enter a stone door. Behind the stone gate is a vast cave, with stalactites and a small dark river on the ground.

"Sister Tong, there's something here." Lu Xiaofan found a mountaineering pickaxe on the ground.

Jiang Tong walked over and picked it up and looked at it carefully: "It's theirs." ”

"Sister Tong, should we go into the water to find out?" Lu Xiaofan was worried that they had fallen into the underground river.

"I'll go down." Jiang Tong said, untying one end of the rope and tying it to his waist, and the other end tied to a sturdy stalactite by the water.

Lu Xiaofan waited anxiously. After about thirty minutes, only to hear the sound of water, Jiang Tong surfaced, and carried two people, it was Yao Qifang and Qiu Yurong.

Lu Xiaofan hurriedly caught up and took the two immortals and put them on the ground, Jiang Tong opened the backpack and took out the medicine box, and fed the two immortals a life-saving pill.

"Sister Tong, you take a rest, I'll go down to find Zheng Dan." Lu Xiaofan saw that Jiang Tong's face was pale and his lips were blue, obviously a little overdrawn.

Jiang Tong thought for a while, nodded, opened the box containing the alienated psionic crystal, and said to Lu Xiaofan, "You eat two first, this water is extremely cold." ”

After Lu Xiaofan took the spiritual energy crystal as he said, Jiang Tong untied the rope and tied it to Lu Xiaofan and said, "There is a depression on the west side of the water that has not yet been found, you can go there to find it first." Beware. ”

Lu Xiaofan nodded, and a fierce man plunged into the water. The water is indeed too cold, and as soon as it enters the water, it is like a thousand needles piercing the whole body. Sister Tong is so powerful, she was able to rescue two teammates under such cold water.

With the light of the spar necklace, Lu Xiaofan swam directly to the depression on the west side of the water, and Zheng Dan was indeed there. Lu Xiaofan picked up Zheng Dan, gritted his teeth, and worked hard to go upstream.

……

After the immortals regained their strength, they came to the control room at the top of the "building" together. Jiang Tong took out the badge and put it on the shallow groove of the "recliner", only to hear a slight "click", the badge actually merged with the shallow groove, the silver lines on the console suddenly emitted a bright light, like mercury flowing, an image appeared in the air in front of the recliner, and the immortals looked at it, it was some strange symbols. At that moment, the earth suddenly shook violently.

"Get out!" As soon as the immortals rushed to the door, the door of the control room clicked and locked. The shaking and shaking became more violent.
