The beautiful snake hissed and screamed, she had lived for hundreds of years and had never been so badly injured.

She was furious, and her body shrank rapidly into the pool. I was so exhausted that I had to desperately grab the Whip.

If she slackened a little, she would pull the whip into the pool.

The two of us are like a tug-of-war, and neither of us will budge.

I put my feet on the ground, and gradually, the beautiful snake was pulled by me towards the shore.

She struggled desperately, but the Spirit Whip itself had a strong evil warding effect. In addition, she was injured and slowly lost.

Only then did I feel a little more grounded, and I watched as half of the huge snake body was pulled to the shore.

At this moment, suddenly the figure flashed, and the old woman had jumped up quickly, the cold light flashed in her hand, and the short sword slashed through the neck of the beautiful snake.

The head fell into the pool with a thud, and at the same time made a few splashes.

The old woman smiled and said, "Let me give her a good time!" ”

That's when I took the whip back, it was covered in snake blood.

I sat on the ground panting for breath, and I was a little frightened by the fact that I had been through several life-and-death battles in a row.

The old woman smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me." ”

I smiled wryly and said, "You're so polite, but you actually helped me." By the way, what do you call you? ”

The old woman smiled and said, "My surname is Cai, you can call me Granny Cai." ”

I nodded.

"You probably don't know. The beast had been chained to the stone ox in the first place, but then broke the chain and escaped. Do you know why someone would go to great lengths to lock it to the stone ox? ”

After her reminder, I suddenly understood a little and asked, "Does it have anything to do with the key?" ”

Granny Cai smiled and said, "You are really smart, in fact, the key we are looking for is on it!" ”

Hearing her words, I barely stood up, but I was still a little dizzy.

Granny Cai said with a smile, "That's why I said, thank you for helping me, I owe you a favor." ”

That's when I understood what she meant. Granny Cai is really cunning enough, it turns out that she is using me.

can think that if it weren't for her, I might have died in the hands of Wu Qingyun and He Chao, and of course the key is not as important as my life.

Seeing that I looked powerless, Granny Cai smiled and shook her head. Then pull the huge corpse of the beautiful snake out of the water.

Although there are many people from other forces nearby, they have all seen Granny Cai's skills. I didn't dare to come over and do it, so I could only watch.

Granny Cai cut open the belly of the beautiful snake, and then took out an iron box from inside. The tin box was covered in blood.

In fact, we don't have to come here at all, the beautiful snake has the key we are looking for in its body.

Granny Cai smiled and took the iron box, walked up to me and said, "Since you helped me, then I'll let you open your eyes." ”

She opened the tin box, revealing a jet-black key the size of a palm.

As if she was showing off to me, Granny Cai said, "This is what everyone wants, the key to open the Green Dragon Palace, have you seen it?" ”

I smiled wryly and said, "See, it's a pity that I made a wedding dress for someone else." ”

Granny Cai said with a smile, "You are a very good young man, I won't treat you badly." Let's get out of here. ”

I nodded, barely standing up.

Although I couldn't get the key, there were still a lot of spars in Shi Niu's belly. For me, they're also a great catch, and they certainly can't be wasted.

I jumped into the water with Granny Cai, who was unusually light and followed me.

Before I could swim to the stone ox, I saw a figure picking up the hedrons. Looking at the back, it looks like He Chao.

Feeling the vibration of the current, he glanced back at us, and sure enough, it was him. It is estimated that Granny Cai got the key and he also knew about it.

He glared at us viciously, then swam off into the distance. Thankfully, he left me a dozen hedrons.

Granny Cai doesn't seem to be very interested in them. I was not polite to her, and put away all the hedrons.

By the time we swam towards the entrance, everyone else had already left.

In the whole valley, there were only the two of us left.

I looked up at the sky, our time was running out, and the iron gate was about to close.

We dived to the bottom together and swam to the iron gate.

There was still a gap in the iron door, and I gestured to Granny Cai for her to swim out first.

Granny Cai nodded and swam directly to the other side of the iron gate.

As soon as her figure disappeared, I saw a large blister pop up from the other side, as if something had happened.

I swam to the crack in the door. The door crack is narrow, just enough for a person to pass through.

As soon as my head came out of the crack in the door, I seemed to see Granny Cai's body floating towards it.

She's very watery, and she can't react until she gets hurt or loses her life.

Seeing this, my heart fell sharply. It immediately became clear that someone was hiding on the other side of the iron gate and sneaking up!

Thinking of this, I quickly retracted my head. Sure enough, the water trembled, and a cold light stabbed directly at me.

Thankfully, I saw the opportunity quickly, and a scimitar slashed through my body.

I was scared into a cold sweat, and if I had been a little slower, I would have had to be split in half by him.

What I saw was He Chao's somewhat distorted face. His face was full of cruelty.

This guy was cunning enough, and he hid on the other side of the crack in the door, waiting for his work.

There was an iron gate in the way, and although he was wounded, it was not easy for me to escape.

He Chao stood on the other side of the door, and we confronted each other.

Actually, I'm more worried about Granny Cai. She was not prepared at all, it is estimated that this time, it must be more than lucky, and the key may have fallen into He Chao's hands.

However, He Chao has been guarding the crack in the door, even if Granny Cai has an accident, he has no time to get the key on her body.

This guy was so ruthless that he couldn't let me go anyway.

I'm a little anxious, time flies quickly, and the appointed time is about to arrive.

I attacked several times in a row, but he forced me back.

A sneer appeared on He Chao's face.

He has time to spend with me. Because he knew that as long as the iron door was shut, I would have to be trapped alive inside.

Whenever I approached the iron gate, his scimitar would slash at me. I had no chance of escaping.

With a creaking sound, the iron door trembled slightly, and at the same time, the pool behind him seemed to be boiling, and the chains relaxed. The door crack is getting narrower and narrower.

He Chao's mouth moved, looking at his mouth shape, as if to say, "Die!" ”

I was even more crazy to get in through the crack in the door, but He Chao's scimitar kept slashing over, and I didn't have a chance at all.

With a bang, the iron doors were tightly closed.

I sighed slightly, it seemed that it was impossible to get out.

I kicked the iron door in anger, and I had no choice but to float to the surface.

Although I'm good at escaping from the water, I'm surrounded by mountains and cliffs, so I can't escape from here.

I sat on a big rock and watched the sky darken. The water in the pool was unusually gentle, and there was no movement at all.

I'm more worried about Cao Xi and Che Yongbo, knowing that I am trapped here, it is estimated that He Chao will definitely not let them go after he goes up.

I was anxious, but I was helpless. The surrounding cliffs are like cliffs, and it is impossible to climb them.

It looks like I'm going to die here, and I'm depressed.

In the middle of the night, I fell asleep on the big bluestone in a daze. And so it went on for three days, and when I was hungry, I went to the pool to fish.

Anyway, there is a lot of water in the pool. Still, I didn't give up hope.

I've been all around, but I still can't find a place to leave, it's a Jedi.

It's no wonder that no one has been able to find this place for so many years.

I sighed slightly, took out the broken river map, and looked closely at the lines on it.

The lines outline the appearance of the rivers, this river map is not very complete, but it also records the situation of all the rivers in a range. Even the most hidden rivers have been recorded.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the map of the river happened to be the situation in the Huai River basin.

The river is drawn in such detail that even every waterhole and pond is documented. No wonder someone spends 100 million and wants to buy it.

I stood up straight, observing the lines on the river map and comparing it with reality. Suddenly, I found the location of this pool.

On the river map, the waterhole is just a fingernail-sized lake shape. At the edge of the lake, a sign in the shape of a five-pointed star is drawn.
