A light curtain of shimmering colors cut off the underground passage.

Shang Xia was stunned, and after sensing that there was no danger, he also slowly walked to the front of the light curtain.

I saw that after he groaned slightly, he first bent his finger and flicked into the air with a volley at the light curtain.

A wisp of finger wind flew out, only slightly splashing a ripple on the light curtain, and then vanished.

Seeing this, Shang Xia immediately slapped his palm on the light curtain, but the light curtain only flickered slightly, and then dissolved the force.

"It's not like a ban, it's more like a curtain! Could it be that the entire coral forest is really guarded by a formation? But that's not right, although they all say that the coral forest is like a big labyrinth, but I've never heard of the coral forest prohibiting entry and exit!"

Shang Xia secretly wondered in his heart, but the Jade River Sword had already slashed out a sword light.

The sword slashed a depression above the array, but it returned to its original state in an instant.

But this time the movement was obviously a bit big, and a circle of ripples spread out in all directions, driving all kinds of colorful brilliance to twist and shake with it.

Shang Xia knew that it was no longer feasible to forcibly break through this array, at least not with his own cultivation.

However, thinking that the water in the pool at the bottom of the Yuanqi Stone Mine suddenly disappeared before, Shang Xia suddenly speculated that maybe this light curtain might open on its own, and then the water flow inside would vent out again, filling the bottom of the Yuanqi Stone Pit, and he might be able to take the opportunity to pass through the curtain at that time.

I just don't know how long there will be between them, and these are just based on my own guesses, and it is unknown whether this curtain will open.

However, thinking of that third-order earth walking corpse, Shang Xia could be sure that it must have come out of here.

Shang Xia's heart suddenly moved at this time, and he took out a red nameplate three inches long and one inch wide from his cuffs, the vermilion plate obtained from the third-order earth walking corpse!

Shang Xia played the Zhu card in his hand a few times, and after a little hesitation in his expression, he still held one end of the Zhu card, and then swiped the other end on the front of the array!

Originally, the curtain that even the Yuhe Sword could not cut through was cut open by the Zhu Pai like paper paste.

But before Shang Xia could show such an expression, a torrent had already opened the opening of the curtain and sprayed directly towards Shang Xia's face.

Fortunately, Shang Xia had already prepared, and while avoiding it sideways in time, he took a few steps back one after another, and the Zhu Pai in his hand also broke away from contact with the array.

The opening that Zhu Pai had just cut on the curtain was about a foot long, but at this time, it had been propped up into a circle by the turbulent water, and in a moment's effort, the ground began to accumulate water.

However, the curtain was also slowly repairing itself, and although the water was extremely turbulent, the openings in the curtain were slowly shrinking, until they finally closed and the water flow was cut off.

"In this way, there should be a waterhole behind this scene, and it doesn't look small!"

Shang Xia thought for a while, and once again slashed the red card on the formation curtain, this time directly breaking a hole several feet long on it.

The turbulent water rushed out like a burst of the embankment in an instant, but at this time, Shang Xia resisted the pressure of the impact of the water and went upstream, and drilled through the broken gap.

The swirling water was still gushing out of the gap, but the gap in the curtain that had been broken was still slowly closing, and when the current had completely calmed down, one end of the underground passage and the curtain had been submerged by the current.

This underground passage connecting the Yuanqishi Mine is not gentle, but tends to slope slowly upwards from the curtain to the bottom of the Yuanqishi Mine.

At this time, behind the curtain of the formation, after Shang Xia ventured through the curtain of the formation, his eyes were quick, and he used the Jade River Sword to circle a rock and fix his body, and then held his breath to fight against the swirling water, until the curtain behind him gradually closed, and the water surface calmed down again.

Fortunately, the water flow here is quite clear, and there is not much sediment and aquatic plants at the bottom of the water, and after the water flow calms down, Shang Xia can roughly see the surrounding situation clearly.

However, judging from the situation under the water, the waterhole where Shang Xia was located at this time may not be small.

And his location was under a large mountain rock, Shang Xia glanced up, but found that this mountain rock seemed to be extremely high, and he couldn't even see the end.

Could it be that the top of this rock is already standing above the water?

This made Shang Xia instantly think of the origin of the name "Coral Forest".

Retracting the Jade River Sword, Shang Xia stood up with the stone that looked like a stone pillar, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a spiraling step behind the stone pillar!

The staircase along the edge of the rock, although it looks rough and rudimentary, and uneven, is indeed artificially excavated.

As an extraordinary martial artist, although Shang Xia was able to hold his breath for a long time, it did not mean that he could stay underwater all the time.

He glanced upward, and instead of just going straight up to the surface of the water, it was better to go all the way up this underground stone staircase to see what was going on.

Shang Xia floated quickly along the stone steps, and after a while, he had already risen more than ten zhang under the water, but when he looked up at the light faintly coming from the water, it was obvious that there was still a long way to go.

After floating a few zhang again, Shang Xia suddenly found that the stone steps that had been carved along the edge of the mountain suddenly extended into a secret passage inside the mountain rock.

Shang Xia looked at the light shining on the water surface, estimated the distance, and was still more than ten zhang away from the water surface, so he turned around and entered the secret passage inside the mountain stone along the stone steps.

"Whoa-la-"

Sure enough, after rising a distance of nearly twenty zhang along the stone steps of the dark passage, Shang Xia finally broke away from the water.

Shang Xia vigilantly looked around on the water, but what he saw was just a stone chamber one zhang square, and several fluorescent stones were inlaid on the surrounding stone walls, providing a faint light.

In the center of the stone chamber was a small waterhole three feet square, and Shang Xia walked out of this small waterhole.

Agitating the anode vitality in the body, Shang Xia's body surface suddenly steamed, and the clothes on his body were dried in a moment.

The stone chamber is not very large, and it can be taken in at a glance when it is empty.

This is not a retreat place for high-level martial artists, nor is it like a storage chamber or anything like that, but there are some axes, chisels, steel drills and other tools, many of which have been damaged.

Thinking of the stone steps under the waterhole and the underground passage behind the formation light curtain, this made Shang Xia feel that this place was more like a secret passage that had not yet been completed, nothing more.

But if that's the case, the appearance of the third-order walking corpse is a little unclear.

That walking corpse can't always be in this sealed stone chamber, right?

Maybe it fell into the water from somewhere else, inadvertently broke through the curtain through the red card on its waist, and entered the underground passage?

This is not impossible, after all, Shang Xia has just come up from the bottom of the water, but he knows that this waterhole is definitely very large, and he can also see the light shining on the water.

After looking through the tools that had been placed haphazardly, Shang Xia straightened up with some disappointment and began to look for the exit of this secret room.

When he came out of the pool, Shang Xia had already sensed that although the inside of this secret room was slightly damp, the air was not dirty, and there was obviously a passage with the outside.

Surveying little by little along the stone wall, Shang Xia's attention soon focused on the only beast relief on a stone wall.

Brushing away the damp dust from above, the two embossed eyes glittered smoothly, looking more like two gems.

Just as Shang Xia pressed his finger up, suddenly a faint shout came into the stone room through the barrier of the stone wall.

"Who?"

Shang Xia's fingers stiffened, and the sound came from outside the stone room.

Immediately after that, the faint scream of a weapon breaking through the air sounded, followed by the sound of gold and iron clashing.

"It's not good, it's the people of the Moon Season Meeting, let's go...... Ahh

The screams stopped abruptly, and the person who spoke had apparently been killed.

"Senior Brother Lao—"

Someone exclaimed, but it was quickly replaced by a cry of pain.

"Boom—"

The place to start should be outside the stone chamber, and the aftermath of the battle rippled through the stone chamber.

"Run—"

Someone else shouted.

"Hehe, you want to escape, you can't leave!"

The gloomy sneer clearly reached the stone room, and it was obvious that the person who spoke was extraordinary.

This was followed by another scream, apparently someone else had been killed.

"Don't kill them all, stay alive, and ask the specific location of the Zhu family's old mansion!"

Another calm voice came, even if it came in through the stone wall, the sound still seemed to ring in his ears, which made Shang Xia's heart sink slightly, and the fingers that were about to press on the two eyeballs of the relief were also put down.

“...... Three people, two dead, this one is still alive!"

The gloomy voice from before came again, followed by a "poof", accompanied by a snort, as if a person had been thrown to the ground casually.

"Well, you guys will try it, I'll go to other places to take a look, and keep up as soon as possible after dealing with it, the situation is already very urgent, I just received news that the beast tide outside the coral forest has receded, and people from Tongyoufeng may appear at any time. ”

The calm voice from before came again, followed by the sound of the shirt breaking through again, and it was obvious that it had left.

Brother Yuwen asked him to stay alive, but he didn't seem to care. ”

Another voice came, and then said: "The people who pass through the Youyou Peak are also weird, how come they are now wandering in the coral forest with some small shrimp in the Wuyuan Realm?"

The gloomy voice from before sneered: "It's just that they are all abandoned children, who are used for waste and exiled in this coral forest to disturb our sight, otherwise Brother Yuwen will not leave." ”

"So I'm afraid this kid doesn't know anything, so what are you going to do with him alive?"

The gloomy voice smiled strangely: "Isn't this also afraid that this kid will know something?"

As he spoke, the gloomy voice said again: "Boy, what's the matter, do you understand? You have all been given up by Liu Jitang, and you still think that you are a student of Tongyou Academy? Hurry up, tell everything you know, and save your Grandpa Ouyang a lot of trouble, and let you suffer a lot before he dies." ”

"I ...... What the...... I don't know!"

A faint voice entered the stone chamber, followed by a lifetime of miserable howls.

"Yo, the bones are still quite hard! Brother Dongfang and retreat a little, a certain cold ice poison Dao Dacheng happens to let you taste a certain freshly practiced wandering needle!"

Shang Xia immediately made a decision, and pressed two fingers on the two eyeballs of the beast-shaped relief.

"Rumble—"

A trembling muffled sound came, and the stone wall in front of Shang Xia suddenly opened.

A warrior who was facing away from Shang Xia turned his head in amazement, but his eyes were overwhelmed by a sword light like a waterfall.
