Chapter 24: The Grotto at the Bottom of the Lake
Lin Yu and Jade Toad swept all the way forward along the slightly dark, but very wide cave path.
"The winged snake doesn't seem to be chasing after it." Lin Yu said.
"Huh?" The jade toad glanced behind him and found that there was indeed no pursuer, "It's not that my strength is superior, and one move of the ice spirit magic skill scared away those miscellaneous pieces, quack." As he spoke, the breaststroke slowed down, "But," Jade Toad looked around, "I have an ominous premonition." ”
"Don't think about it," Lin Yu also looked around, "This cave passage is just a little deeper than the others, and it doesn't seem to be connected to other caves, let's keep moving forward, and then combined with the grotto map, we should be able to reach the ice chamber soon." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it."
Deep, endlessly deep.
The more a person and a frog swam inside, the darker the surrounding environment became, and in the end, the only light source that could be felt was the white cold air emitted by the jade toad.
"The yin qi here is so heavy, it is not suitable to stay for a long time!"
Jade Toad said suddenly.
"Yin Qi? Could it be that many people have died here? Lin Yu was puzzled, and felt a little unwilling in his heart - so much precious time was wasted here, and it would be even more difficult to save people if it dragged on for a while. However, Lin Yu still agreed with Jade Toad's approach and returned the same way.
At this time, the two of them suddenly saw a little blue light appear in front of them.
"That's the exit!" Lin Yu shouted.
"Are you sure?"
"Anyway, we don't have much time left, and even if there's the slightest chance I'm going to try."
"You're really okay"
The two of them swam forward, and the dark blue light grew bigger and brighter. The stone wall on the side couldn't stand the freezing of the cold air emitted by the jade toad, and cracked a crack in the air. In such a deep and secluded place, the two of them had stronger perception and ability to predict danger in advance than usual, and immediately heard the small sound of the stone wall shattering, and stopped.
"How could this stone wall suddenly shatter?" Yu Toad looked at the crooked crack on the stone wall that was more than ten inches long and said.
"It's not a big deal, this stone wall should be thinner than the others."
As soon as Lin Yu said this more reasonable inference, the two of them were shocked in their hearts.
It is also a stone wall, why is the stone wall here thinner? There must be something strange in this!
Sure enough, the jade toad spewed out a breath of cold air, quickly freezing the area around the shattered stone wall, and then as soon as the toad's legs hit, those ice stones fell down with a thud, revealing one of the small chambers. Lin Yu and Jade Toad couldn't help but feel furious when they looked at the scene in the small room.
White bones, white bones, all kinds of fish, snakes, yakshas, and people.
"There are so many white bones, it is estimated that there is a man-eating spirit living nearby!" Lin Yu said, and couldn't help but look at the blue light.
"Hmph, I said that the yin qi here is very heavy, you still don't listen, you insist on going inside, now you regret it."
Lin Yu's face was red, he didn't expect him to be famous in his life, but in the end he was ruthlessly ridiculed by this toad, and his self-esteem came up, "Cut, isn't it just a man-eating monster, I will be afraid of him?" Besides, the faint blue light is not necessarily an exit, and the man-eating spirit may not be able to see Uncle Ben fleeing without a trace. Lin Yu said and swam inside.
"Eh, you junior, it's dangerous there! XX, I'm really convinced" Yu Toad was helpless, thinking that there should be no spirit in this grotto that it couldn't pick up alone, so he followed.
The two swam forward for more than ten miles before they reached the place where the blue light was, but after arriving, the two regretted it.
This is just a relatively large stone chamber, not an exit. In the center of the entire stone chamber, there was a blue bead suspended, and the dazzling blue brilliance was emitted from this bead, filling the entire stone chamber. The two of them looked at the bead carefully, and found that there was a golden dragon faintly swimming inside the dark blue! It seems to be unrestrained and free in the deep blue ocean.
"This is the most precious thing in the world!" Jade Toad exclaimed.
"Hehe, this bead is good." An eerie and kind voice rang out.
The energy condensed, and an old man in a white robe and white hair appeared out of thin air, startling the two of them.
"Hehe, you don't have to be afraid, as you can see, I come and go here freely, invisible, with the great creation of grabbing the sky and the earth, and I am also the master of this bead." The old man's face was radiant, and his tone was open-minded,
"Oh?" Lin Yu's first impression of the old man was good.
"I have been practicing for many years, I have seen through the void, I have seen through the sky, I don't care much about these things outside my body, you have a fate with me, this bead is given to you, I hope you can do more good deeds after taking this bead, save the common people."
"This senior, we don't mean to be greedy for your magic weapon, we just entered here by chance, in fact, what we want to go to is the central ice room of the grotto."
"Hahahaha," the old man laughed heartily, "I see, I have been cultivating in this cave for many years, and I also know this cave well, I have a relationship with you, these two grotto maps, can I give you these two grotto maps?" ”
"Thank you, senior."
As soon as the words fell, two divine rays shot into Lin Yu and Jade Toad's minds. Lin Yu and Jade Toad suddenly felt that this grotto was in full view.
"Okay, the map has been given, you don't want this orb, the old way can't be forced, the old way is here to wait for the next destined person. In addition, there are many spirits in this grotto, you need to be very cautious in this trip, okay, you can go. As he spoke, the old man turned into a virtual shadow again and disappeared.
Lin Yu got the detailed map of the grotto, and he was elated, and he walked outside with the jade toad in high spirits.
However, after not walking for a while, the jade toad suddenly turned back and swam straight towards the blue orb, "Thank you seniors, I will definitely benefit the common people by taking this orb, and live up to the trust of my predecessors!" ”
"This" Lin Yu was stunned, he didn't expect this dead toad to be a greedy treasure.
"You don't know," Yu Toad collected the beads, swam back, and whispered to Lin Yu, "This bead contains infinite creation, many mysteries, you can use this to help Princess Xue Chu destroy the three-headed demon, if the three-headed demon enters this cave first and takes this orb, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Hmph," Lin Yu didn't even want to pay attention to him, "You're just greedy for treasure!" ”
Jade Toad's face was full of shame, "Okay, I admit it, it's a little selfish, but my original intention is really to help the princess, and I swear, I will never use this orb to do bad things, toad, my character must be known to you!" ”
"Cut."
The two didn't know that the moment the jade toad took the orb, more than a dozen prohibitions in the entire cave also quietly collapsed
At this time, in the stone room where the two left, a blue beast about thirty feet tall appeared.
The giant blue beast was muscular, holding a huge mallet, and its face was large and made of bones, like dinosaur bones. There are a lot of hideous bone spurs on it, and a hooked bone horn grows on the forehead, and a head of green hair is draped, which is the legendary water fish!
"It's so dangerous just now, I almost made a move. Ah, it feels good to be reborn, I miss the free and easy time of the past, and I miss you more than this time, Bai Carp! ”
