"Wait, I have an idea."

Just when they were about to be strangled to death by this quiet atmosphere, Liu Shenghan suddenly came up with an idea. Bai Ya and Qi Huan both looked at her like they had grabbed a life-saving straw, which made her a little embarrassed.

"Uh, I'm not sure ......"

"It's better than starving here."

"Regenerate fire."

They didn't know what Liu Shenghan was up to, but this proposal was indeed suspicious. Don't let Frost Moon Jun raise the ashes before they are burned to death by the fire of the Dragon Palace.

"Do you have a hobby that consumes other people's internal energy for fun?" Frost Moon looked at her.

"It's just a drop in the bucket for you...... You can do it, right? ”

Bai Ya and Qi Huan couldn't figure out what she was going to do, but given their previous experience, they still had a trace of trust in her, and this time it was Frost Moon Jun who was a little dissatisfied. However, just when they thought that Frost Moon Jun would continue to ask, he was not ready to talk about it.

"Stand back."

Is he going to do it? He really trusts Sheng Han. The three of them retreated until they hid inside the column-shaped space. Frost Moon Jun raised his luck and looked at the posture this time, he didn't plan to make a fuss like before. The strange cold fire was like a piece of soft silk, although the battle was much softer than before, but a large number of "fire belts" that seemed to be alive erupted from his hands. They wrap themselves around the rows of reefs like snakes, smart, dazzling, and with a different kind of vitality. Then the fire became even more ferocious—white flames tore and struck at the reefs, strangling them so hard that they wanted to break the pillars to pieces.

The reefs have their own counterattack: growth.

The rumbling continued, but it was not from the trembling, but from the movement of the stone stretching its bones. The tempering and baptism of fire does not frustrate them, but injects them with new vitality like nourishment. The pillars grew taller and stronger, almost reaching the ceiling of the second floor. There is only a small gap between the stone pillars.

The fire subsided, and the three men took a few steps forward.

"Don't come here yet."

Frost Moon Jun suddenly spoke, and they stopped. Seeing, in the gap between the stone pillars, the silver mercury slowly rose again, as if there was a platform below to lift the mercury and the reef up. The mercury shimmered and quickly calmed down. Now, it was back to the level of the water they had come, like mirrored ground, only with a much more reef than it had been.

The earth is nourished by fire, and gold is born from the earth.

"Isn't that more troublesome?"

"Understood." Frost Moon Jun suddenly understood something, "You want to bulldoze them." ”

"That's right."

"What bulldozing? What to dow? ”

"Only by giving birth to water can we move forward."

"Ah...... I see. ”

The next steps, though, are daunting. If you strengthen the power of the stone pillar, which symbolizes the earth, you can't continue to cast the spell of fire, because the fire and gold are mutually restrictive, and the gold, which is used to generate water, that is, mercury, will fall again. If you apply "soil" directly, and no matter where you find so much sand, even if it forms water that blends with the sea, it will be eroded by this excess "soil".

"We need just the right amount of gold."

After Qi Huan figured it out, he came to such a conclusion. As he spoke, his gaze fell on Bai Ya's knife.

"The idea of not fighting this knife for a day, do you feel uncomfortable?" Bai Ya glared back, "What's more, there are only a few catties of iron here, how can so much mercury be completely transformed." ”

"Although it is a knife fought by Shui Wujun, in the final analysis, it is just a mortal thing." Liu Shenghan shook his head slightly, "It would be nice if there were unusual iron tools." ”

Bai Ya and Qi Huan suddenly looked at Frost Moon Jun again.

"What are you doing, you want to fight the idea of sealing the Demon Blade?"

"The Demon Sealing Blade is not mortal iron...... And, aren't you in a hurry to get rid of this thing? Look—"

"Don't even think about it." Frost Moon Jun tilted his head back slightly, narrowing his eyes, as if to warn, "The person that the Demon Sealing Blade recognizes is its true scabbard. The sheath and the blade live and die together, and there is no other way than to change hands. I'm a dead man, but I don't want to put the Demon Sealing Blade in a place like this. If you can't even go back, and you can't see that adult, removing your name is a trivial matter, and it's not interesting to be scattered. I've already given enough face to come with you, but don't take an inch. ”

It seems that using the Demon Sealing Blade will not work either. However, Qi Huan soon came up with a new idea.

"Huh...... Wait, aren't we, and an unusual weapon? ”3800

"What?"

"You're stupid." Qi Huan hit Bai Ya, "Hurry up, take it out." ”

“…… You are crazy? ”

If it is said that there are unusual weapons, which are also forged from Shura and the gold of the other world, there is indeed the same.

"It's not my own anyway, so I don't feel distressed." Qi Huan said seriously.

“……”

Under the gaze of the other three, Bai Ya took off the demon-slaying pestle pinned to his waist.

The demon pestle is still golden, with fine workmanship, sharp ends, and lilac polarization as a whole. Since Liu Shenghan's inference is correct, and this enchantment artifact doesn't seem to have any other use, it might as well ......

"Okay, I'll do it."

With that, he swam forward, leaned over to keep it parallel to the ground, and then reached out and slowly lowered the end of the demon-slaying pestle into the flat surface of mercury.

He felt a strong pull.

Bai Ya did not intend to let go, but swung his legs and fought to the death against this power. The Demon Pestle was engulfed little by little at an extremely slow speed. Qi Huan immediately grabbed him and swam backwards with force, and the others also stepped forward to help. Mercury began to decline again, and ordinary seawater slowly replaced it from above. Hopefully, the impact of the current reef is not enough to shake the nascent waters. But there seemed to be something hidden under the mercury, and it fiercely clamped the tip of the demon pestle, and engaged in a power contest with them, as if they had to break the weapon before they would stop. Moreover, on the otherwise smooth surface of the mercury, blisters suddenly appeared one after another, slow and viscous.

Gradually, relying on the strength of the four people, something was slowly pulled out of the water.

A mouth—yes, a mouth, firmly biting the tip of the Demon Slaying Pestle. A slight amount of smoke spread from where they touched it, as if the Demon Slayer had caused some kind of damage to it. But it still didn't let go, and the layers of mercury wrapped around its body faded, finally letting them see its true appearance.

Hump heads, horse ears, antlers, fish scales, lion's hair—and long tentacles.

…… Is it a dragon?

It was only when the small half of its body poked out of the mercury that they realized how large the monster in front of them was. Liquid metal slipped off its body, revealing rough skin and shiny scales. Its eyes were wide and blood-red, as if they were filled with rage, and an irrepressible madness was about to stir in the midst of it.

If it were a normal person, he would have been so frightened that his legs would have been weak, and he would have thrown away the demon pestle and fled for his life. But Bai Ya knows very well, escape? Where is it safe to flee? No matter how big the entire Dragon Palace is, it's so big, you can't run away no matter how you run. Qi Huan's eyes were quick, and he threw out his Hidden Blade and stabbed the dragon's head in the jaw from the bottom up. Even though the skin is relatively fragile, it is still not soft enough, not to mention that the size of the entire faucet is equivalent to half the body of a human being. With Qi Huan's strength and that knife, not even a single scratch will be left.

However, this move apparently made the dragon with dark red scales uncomfortable. It loosened its mouth slightly, and several people were thrown out by inertia. That fangs were terrifying, the largest being almost as long as Bai Ya's scimitar.

Probably in retaliation, Qi Huan was knocked out hard.

He slammed into the walls of the Crystal Palace, the hard bulge of the dragon's head crushing against his chest. He felt like his ribs were going to break—no, they were, but the sound that was coming to his ears through his body and water wasn't so crisp that he couldn't tell. When he felt the sharp pain in his chest, the strength of his whole body was about to dissipate.

A large ball of bubbles spat out of Bai Ya's mouth, and he seemed to subconsciously scream, but he couldn't be heard. Qi Huan tried his best to adjust his internal breath, hoping to make his body stronger. But it was useless in the face of pure power, except for his chest, and he also heard a shattering sound in his back, which came from the walls of the Crystal Palace.

Silk clothes have strong toughness and should not be easily torn. But it is not hard, and the pain caused by external forces is real. Qi Huan didn't know if something was rotten about him, he only saw blood. A large cloud of red spread in the water, blurring his vision, and even the outline of the dragon's head could not be seen clearly.

Is it his sight that is distracting, or is it his consciousness?

Before he could figure it out, a dark shadow quickly slammed into the side of the dragon's head from the side. Under the influence of this force, it staggered its head. Qi Huan slowly slid down, leaving a long blood streak on the transparent wall. It won't be long before they dissipate in the waves. When he fell, he happened to see the figure of Frost Moon Jun.

Frost Moon Jun stood on the dragon's head, feeling that his foot just now was not strong enough. Otherwise, how could this beast still have so much strength to shake his head indiscriminately? Most of its body had poked out of the mercury, and the front half of its body was constantly hitting the solid reefs. The reefs trembled, stirring the mercury into strange patterns. It began to form irregular balls, spreading upwards little by little, interspersed between the crumbling and crumbling reefs. Although under the deep sea, Frost Moon Jun was as agile as he was on land, he deftly dodged the flying mercury, stepped on or around large pieces of rubble, and always fell back on the red dragon's body, like a fly, he could not shake it off.

Bai Ya and Liu Shenghan quickly came to Qi Huan's side and dragged him to a safe circular area. His face was pale, apparently a sign of excessive blood loss. Liu Shenghan's expression is not good-looking - she is not optimistic.

"Heart...... I didn't get poked by broken bones, and I still have to save it, but—"

But this is not land, let alone the infirmary, and there are no tools that can be used for first aid.

Liu Shenghan groped his hand twice on his chest, and he had lost his senses. But his alveoli had been severely pinched, and every breath was difficult. He opened his mouth wide and tried to get more oxygen, but to no avail.

"Don't go any further." Liu Shenghan held his stiff hand, "After this pass, we will find a way to go back." ”

But everyone knows that according to the structure of the Dragon Palace, they have no return, which is just her comforting rhetoric.

"Leave me alone." Although they lost their ability to speak, their conversations were never achieved through "speaking", and Qi Huan said firmly, "I knew there was no help." ”

His pupils became blank, and the "voice" faded in their minds, losing their original vitality.
