"The structure and mechanism of the Dragon Palace may be the same as some of the tombs. They are essentially all about blocking external intrusions. ”

Frost Moon said in their minds. Several people paused, thought for a while, and felt that it did make sense. Compared to the mysterious crypt traps on the ground, there are not many places that can be used underwater, especially those traps that rely on gravity will be useless. But what wisdom and magic the mermaids have that are different from those of humans, they don't know.

Another chilly, stared at.

They were all perceptive people who looked around almost simultaneously. This time, they didn't know where they felt the sight, but they felt extremely cold, and the silk clothes couldn't isolate it. But what it is, and where it comes from, how many people don't know. Maybe it's the structure of the crystal that reflects and spreads that kind of gaze from everywhere. The only thing that is certain is that they must be targeted.

"Someone—something is watching us." Qi Huan "thought".

Liu Sheng said coldly: "Is it a yaksha?" ”

Bai Ya responded: "I don't know, it may be something more terrifying." ”

"Why don't they do it?"

"Probably to see what we're going to do......"

"Maybe the dragons are kinder than we thought?"

"Don't think it's that simple."

A few people got closer and continued to swim forward. Bai Ya touched the smooth crystal wall, and felt that it was polished smoothly, like a mirror, and I don't know what kind of process the sharks used back then. If you look at it through the blue amber, all this crystal clear scene can also be called magnificent. The interior of the Dragon Palace is divided into several corridors and spaces by crystal walls, each of which is large, and each space is connected to more than two corridors. Sometimes, the rooms are not fully enclosed, and the wall above the dome is divided into several compartments, and even the lattices are elaborately carved. However, due to the limitations of the top, they also cannot overlook the full view of the palace.

The four of them came to a long and narrow hallway, but there was no staircase to go up. The Dragon Palace can only go up from the inside, and they can't find the path from the outside except for the main palace gate, or it may be that they haven't been able to find it. And according to the size of the whole, taking the first floor as a reference, the Dragon Palace is said to be three stories high.

Not all crystals are transparent, and not all rooms are empty. Whether it is the room or the hallway, in addition to the counter, there are some irregular furnishings that they don't recognize. Most of them are ornaments, and there are many colorful crystal flowers, which look very beautiful, but no one dares to touch them. Some rooms have the same layout as the others, and some are very different, making it impossible for them to be sure if they have been there before. Bai Ya seemed to understand what the mermaids meant when they said that "transparent walls can be used for concealment", because even though he knew that the crystal was so clear, he still couldn't see what was on the other side of the wall.

"It's like a labyrinth."

"How's this going...... They didn't give us a map either. ”

"Don't be a ghost hitting the wall, right?"

"Where the hell came from?"

"Water, water ghosts? Or be the soul of the Chinese New Year's Eve forks......"

"What a mess."

Liu Shenghan took out the compass, which was the one rewarded by the incense god. She'd tried this thing before, and it wouldn't break underwater. But when a few people came to the inside of the Dragon Palace, this little thing turned around without a head, and it seemed to be broken again. Compared to the time in the Moon Eating Mountain, this time it was even more headless and tailless. At that time, this compass would still point in what direction, but now it is like a broken windmill, which makes people scratch their heads.

Suddenly, Frost Moon Monarch, who was swimming in the front, stopped. He stood on the edge of the hallway and did not enter the next room. Outside the doorless room, on the transparent walls on both sides, there is a bouquet of finely carved crystal flowers. On the left is a flower made of citrine, surrounded by emerald clusters; On the right is the combination of ink crystal and rutile. In the light of blue amber, their color looks a little weird. Their shapes are somewhat similar to those of terrestrial plants, but they do not correspond exactly to any species. Perhaps the craftsmen who built this place once spied the beauty of the land world and restored it with a thin impression.

"Any questions?" Liu Shenghan asked. She felt that Frost Moon must have discovered something.

"Don't really get lost." Qi Huan raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say it's like going home?" ”

Frost Moon Jun had no distractions, and they couldn't hear anything from him. He just stopped, reached out, and tried to pull one out of the crystal bouquet, only to find it firmly anchored to the wall. He looked at it for a long time, then crushed it. The debris slowly drifted away with the waves.

"Don't mess around." Bai Yaxin said, "You're not afraid of triggering any mechanism. ”

"Some tombs will use smoke or special structures to make the offender fall into a situation where the ghost hits the wall." Frost Moon Jun suddenly spoke, "It's the same here. ”

"But...... We didn't breathe in poison gas, did we? Qi Huan reached out and touched the remaining crystal chips in the water, "Didn't the merman say that the silk clothes can be filtered out?" ”

"Nope. A magnetic field is utilized here. ”

"Magnetic field ......?"

"Simply—" Frost Moon looked up and thought for a moment, "...... Forget it, destroy them all. ”

"Can you explain a little?" Qi Huan suddenly swam in front of him, "This is how the mermaids of the past also came...... Destroying them? There must be another way, right? ”

"Sharks are not affected by this magnetic field." Frost Moon Jun didn't bother to explain, "What's more, crystal flowers grow directly from the wall, even if they are destroyed by us, they will grow again." What more questions do you have? ”

"Indeed......" Liu Shenghan thought for a moment, "That's why the compass will become disordered." The magnetic field here is chaotic and interferes with the judgment of humans and other living beings. ”

Qi Huan always felt that something was wrong, and Bai Ya also vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, but since Liu Shenghan said so, he agreed with Frost Moon Jun's opinion. He drew his knife and quickly sliced the flowers attached to the crystal wall. The flowers slowly sink, leaving a smooth, blurry patch of color on the walls. It may be the "roots" of crystal peanuts.

"Destroy all the magnets that pass by."

This is their task to solve the first obstacle. Next, Bai Ya followed Frost Moon Jun's instructions and cut off those blooming crystal flowers. The crystal flower is so hard and so fragile, even if you start to do it, you can't make people feel the fragility of life. Everything here is cold, without exception.

Some flowers, Frost Moon Jun didn't let him start.

"Some of the flowers are the right way." Cool Record Literature

"How do you see that?"

"Feeling."

“……”

If something goes wrong, wait for the fake flowers to grow again, but it will be the Year of the Monkey.

Liu Shenghan was helping Frost Moon Jun: "Believe him." The six impermanent eyes will not make mistakes. ”

Not all magnets are as visible as fake flowers on the walls. Some were hidden in vases and placed on top of tables, and some were more hidden, but Frost Moon always pointed to that location in a split second. There are also some flowers that are not real, they are made of ordinary colored stones or coral, and others are even just silk flowers.

The space was constantly shrinking, even far below what they felt when they saw the Dragon Palace outside. In the end, there is only one path in front of them. The corridor is long and narrow, which is a little unsettling. There are no doors on either side, nor any decoration.

But even so, they walked in it, and there was still a feeling of being watched.

Where does this gaze come from?

Out of curiosity, Bai Ya at the end of the line suddenly turned his head to see what was behind him.

Nothing.

He jerked his head back, feeling a slight dizziness. Then, he immediately caught up with the people in front of him, squeezed between Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan, who were in parallel, and pushed their backs with both hands.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go."

There was nothing behind him. There are no walls, no floors, no domes, and no darkness. It was a blurry color, as if they had all been smoothed out, mixed together, and merged into an indescribable color and shape. He didn't know what would happen when he returned to that nothingness, but he never wanted to go back.

In front of it is a columnar space, small but much larger than the hallway. When you come here, when you look back, the road is gone. But there was no longer a corridor to move forward - they were locked up in this place.

Qi Huan bumped into something while swimming forward, and although it didn't hurt, he was scared. Bai Ya immediately turned to Lan Po and hit the light in front of them, and they saw the outline of a cone. Two people up, there is a beautiful flower.

"Wa Jinhua?"

Frost Moon Jun pronounced its name. They swam upwards and around it. Indeed, judging from the size and shape, this is exactly the same as Wa Jinhua, that is, the Wuxia Ying that the incense god begged for.

"Imitation." Frost Moon Jun then said, "Wa Jinhua can't live underwater. ”

"It's also carved in crystal." Liu Shenghan observed for a long time, "One petal is missing." ”

Because of her very special appearance, they could recognize her at a glance. But when you look closer, you can immediately see that it has only four petals.

Red, yellow, white, and blue, with a blue petal missing.

"It's weird."

"What's wrong?" They asked Qi Huan, wondering if he had seen anything.

"The legend of Nuwa mending the sky is that she finally found the cyan stone. But why is blue missing? ”

"And, where are we going to complete this blue?" Bai Ya felt a headache, "Along the way, we didn't see a single blue crystal. It's useless to see it...... Who would have thought that it would be brought to such a place. ”

"Let's look for it first, or what else can we do."

With that, Frost Moon turned and swam away. In this small space, there is nothing that can be used up and down. Bai Ya and Qi Huan also searched around. Since it's a Crystal Palace puzzle, the answer should always be in the Crystal Palace, right?

Only Liu Shenghan still froze in place, looking at it with some doubts.

It was too small and empty, and they quickly searched almost everywhere they could, but found nothing. Qi Huan hugged his shoulders a little dejectedly, and a trace of uneasiness spread among several people.

"No, nothing...... Where will the blue petals be? Alas, don't touch me, bother. ”

Bai Ya raised his eyes directly across from him, and the look in his eyes became strange.

Qi Huan felt very bad, he turned his face slightly and found that there was nothing behind him. It turned out that it was just the wall behind him that hit him, and it was a false alarm. However, there is no water in this enclosed space to propel him...... Maybe it's just that he's unconsciously backing away a little.

"The space is shrinking."

Frost Moon Jun dived up from below, and said this coldly.

"W-What?"

"The bottom of this platform used to be a little distance from the wall, but now it's merging together."

They panicked.
