The elastic acceleration generated by the huge octopus skin brought everyone to the ground smoothly, and when their eyes felt the glimmer of light outside the cave again, as if they had spent a day in the Qishui Dragon Palace, in fact, it was only about four hours from their entry into the Dragon Palace to their departure, and anyone would have this illusion when they came into contact with the light from the dark environment.

The rock wall engraved with the poem completely collapsed, and the river water flowing through the fractured rock wall formed a huge funnel-shaped vortex in its crevices, and due to the collapse of the rock mass supporting the Qishui Dragon Palace, the raging river roared down along the fracture and invaded the entire underground Dragon Palace.

This scene in front of them couldn't help but make everyone gasp, fortunately they escaped from the Qishui Dragon Palace in time, if it was a few minutes late, everyone would have died.

Now that they are not completely out of danger, the river water suddenly poured into the Dragon Palace, causing the external pressure of the Dragon Palace to increase sharply, and the chain effect caused by this is that the Dragon Cave began to collapse. With the continuous sound of concussions, the cracks in the rock at the top of the cave gradually widened, and the rubble rained down, some splashing huge waves in the river, some almost crushing them, and some crashing against the deck of the ship.

The boat on which he had arrived was stranded on the shore, and the river water poured into the hold along the large hole in the crack in the bottom of the boat, and the mast and the four oars were all broken, leaving traces of damage to the sharp weapon on the top, and the mast fell on the right side of the hull, and the broken oars remained on the boat, which was deliberately shown off by the perpetrators.

When Gui Xun'er came to the bow of the ship, she found that the rope used to hold the ship in place had long been broken, which was the main reason for the ship's eventual grounding, and she had already guessed that the person who destroyed their ship was undoubtedly Zhulu, who must have followed Lu Juji here.

As she pondered, Yuna, who was on the other side of the bow, suddenly let out a scream. Ling Wenxuan thought that she had been attacked, took a closer look, and hurriedly covered her eyes with his hands.

A male floating corpse lay on its back on the shore not far from the bow of the boat, his face covered by a white mask, and the constant washing of the river pushed him to the shore, as if his hands and feet were still twitching from a distance.

Wang Zhaolin felt that this person's figure was very familiar, and just wanted to step forward, he was almost hit by a huge falling rock, but fortunately, Gui Xun'er pulled him aside in time, and the two quickly ran to the shore, away from the entrance of the Qishui Dragon Palace, which was becoming more and more seriously collapsed.

With a rushing river in front of them, a collapsing rockfall behind them, and the boat being vandalized, they were caught in a desperate dilemma. Rather than trying to get out of here, Wang Zhaolin was more concerned about the corpse in front of him, if he wasn't stopped by Ling Wenxuan, even if he was injured by falling rocks, he had to see who this corpse was.

At this critical juncture, the reflection of a boat suddenly appeared on the river outside the Dragon Cave, and the boat was heading in the direction of the Dragon Cave.

Ling Wenxuan was overjoyed, he immediately jumped onto the deck of the broken ship, found half of the hay torch in the cabin locker, and then lit it with the lighter box he carried with him, he stepped on the guardrail with one foot to make himself on the highest point of the ship, and the other hand waved in a cross shape with the torch.

Seeing this, Gui Xun'er understood what Ling Wenxuan meant, and she immediately pulled Youna and Wang Zhaolin to the front of the broken ship, and asked them to wave their hands with her to send a distress signal into the distance.

Soon the boat noticed their position, and the people on board increased their oars, and it didn't take long for them to stop not far from them.

Due to the strong current, the ship could not be docked, and a woman on the boat hurried out of the cabin, waving her hands at them, indicating their next move.

The woman was Lan Lingxiang, who had not been able to go with them to the Qishui Dragon Palace, her curly double ponytails stuck to her face in a panic, the river wet her skirt, and she didn't care about the white gloves that were already soaked on the railing, for fear that her voice would be drowned out by the collapsing rockfall.

"Don't hesitate, come up from that side! Lan Lingxiang threw a rope to the shore.

A man in a light gray open-collar adventure suit leans out of the cabin to help pull the ropes, this person is an acquaintance they have met in the Crimson Moon Adventure Guild, Guild Vice President Li Yan.

They were all very surprised by the sudden appearance of these two people, and finally according to Lan Lingxiang's instructions, one followed the other by pulling the rope, flowing through the turbulent river, and climbed onto the boat.

In the end, only Wang Zhaolin was left behind, and he waved his hand at Li Yan on the boat, and then pointed to the floating corpse next to the broken boat.

Li Yan understood what Wang Zhaolin meant, but he was puzzled by the act of carrying a dead body to the boat, and under the eyes of everyone, he couldn't shirk it, so he jumped off the boat and swam in the direction of Wang Zhaolin.

It took a lot of effort for the two to carry the corpse to the boat, and the next thing was to row the boat and quickly leave the Dragon Cave, and when they reached a bright place, they would help Wang Zhaolin confirm the identity of the corpse.

After the twists and turns just now, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, Ling Wenxuan borrowed the inner room in the cabin from Li Yan, who was rowing, so that he could change his soaked clothes, Youna sat on the chair outside, a little disappointed that Ling Wenxuan failed to insist on the demeanor of ladies first, Lan Lingxiang leaned on the guardrail on the side of the boat with his hands crossed, obviously not forgiving them for leaving themselves to go to the Qishui Dragon Palace yesterday for the adventure, and the cause and effect had to be explained to her by the Gui Xun'er beside her.

It took a lot of time for Gui Xun'er to bring out Ling Wenxuan's set of principles and repeat them, and when she talked about the dangerous experience in the Qishui Dragon Palace, Lan Lingxiang's anger finally disappeared a lot.

"Who let that Ling scourge deliberately knock me out, so that I was locked up by that rich woman for a full night. Lan Lingxiang spread her hands proudly and smiled, "If Miss Ben goes out in person, how can the Dreadnought Sword disappear, I want to see how you explain to that rich girl next." ”

Gui Xun'er smiled awkwardly: "You don't have to worry about this, we will explain to President Mo Yi at that time, we don't want to pay or something." ”

"If Mo Yi is a rich girl, you are a rich woman multiplied by two, you are both half a catty to eight taels, and you don't boast about your foresight afterwards. At this time, Ling Wenxuan, who had changed into a white long-sleeved shirt, walked out of the cabin, he wrung out the towel used to wipe his head, and looked at Youna who walked into the cabin, "Just leave this matter to us, don't bother the eldest lady, you don't bother, if you go out in person, there will only be a lot more trouble." ”

"I'm sorry, our family elders have caused you trouble, and we didn't think about this matter and couldn't help you complete your mission. Li Yan, who was rowing at the bow of the boat, heard their conversation, and he immediately turned his face sideways and replied.

"Moyi can't cause us trouble if she's here, and if she's here, we're going to be in trouble. The corner of Ling Wenxuan's clothes was pulled by Youna, who had been in the cabin for less than a minute, and turned his head to see the other party blushing and handing him back the black robe.

While Ling Wenxuan was wearing a Muslim robe, Gui Xun'er took the opportunity to ask Li Yan: "By the way, how did you know that we were in danger. ”

"Of course we don't know you're in danger, and you really have to thank this young lady for that. Li Yan glanced at Lan Lingxiang and continued, "When you were in Suhua Village yesterday, didn't you always look for a boatman named Ban Renjie and borrow a boat from him to cross the river?"

"Yes, but I haven't found it, and then Zhu Lu, the sanctioner of the Tianzhao Sect, pretended to be the apprentice of the Cheng class master, so we almost lost his way. As soon as she thought of this, Gui Xun'er's tone couldn't help but increase a little.

"After you traveled this morning, Miss Lan sneaked out of the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild, wanting to find a boat on the shore to cross the Qishui River to find you, where she unexpectedly met Ban Renji, when he heard that you had borrowed the boat and already set off, Master Ban was very surprised, he counted all his boats, and found that there was indeed one missing. ”

Li Yan glanced at the gradually brighter light of Tianqi Gorge in the distance, and continued: "Miss Lan expected that someone must have lent you a boat in the name of Master Ban, waiting for an opportunity to plot against you. So she quickly told Mo Yi that at the behest of the elder, she and I borrowed a boat from Master Ban to look for you. ”

Listening to Li Yan tell the general story of the incident, he finally understood Lan Lingxiang's proud capital, and Ling Wenxuan had no choice but to reluctantly say thank you to her.

After the boat drove out of the shadow of the Tianqi Gorge mountain, the surface of the river was crystal clear under the light of the dawn sun, and there was enough light, but Wang Zhaolin, who was stuck at the stern of the boat, let out a terrible wail.

Wang Zhaolin finally recognized the swollen body soaked in the river in front of him, it was none other than his brother Lu Juji. He never expected that just an ordinary adventure would take away the two most important people in his life, and he should have cried loudly, but the thought of his brother betraying him for the sake of profit made the corners of his eyes dry up instantly.

It can also be regarded as a cycle of heaven and karma, Lu Juji is ruthless to Wang Zhaolin, but he can't be unrighteous to his brother, Lu Juji's jealousy is all because of him, if he doesn't always call Lu Juji to treat the other party as his little brother on weekdays, it won't be such a result. The matter has come to this point, and before burying Lu Juji, he wants to listen to the opinions of the audience.

"It is obvious that Lu Juji was drowned, the time of death was no more than two hours, his face was purple, the skin of his whole body was wrinkled under the soak of the river, because the soaking time was not long, there was no obvious phenomenon of swelling, his lower abdomen was slightly raised, and the river water poured into his lungs and stomach from the nostrils and mouth at the same time, making him unable to breathe, after eight minutes he stopped his heartbeat, and ten minutes later the brain tissue died. ”

"It is said that Lu Juji's water properties are very good, and he can rule out all kinds of accidents. Gui Xun'er squatted down, pointed to a shallow red mark left on the corpse's neck, and continued to analyze, "The murderer stunned Lu Juji with a rope, and then threw him into the river, the original dreadnought sword in Lu Juji's hand was gone, one thing is for sure, the murderer killed him in order to take away the dreadnought sword." ”

"Damn! It must have been done by this scum Zhulu. ”

"Lord Priest, don't get excited, there is still a question about whether Zhulu killed Lu Juji. Ling Wenxuan's performance made Gui Xun'er feel a little excessive, "What makes me wonder is that if it was done by Zhulu, with his advanced cultivation, why didn't he just solve it with a spell, but instead used this low-level murder method of mortals." ”

"Don't think about it so much, this mask makes me uneasy, it's as scary as a religious ghost, you can help me take it off. Lan Lingxiang covered his eyes with both hands, and quietly peeked at the corpse's face through the gaps in his ten fingers.

"Do you really want to see it, don't regret it!" Gui Xun'er immediately removed the mask from the corpse, causing Lan Lingxiang to scream, and the other party's expression made her very satisfied.

"Do you dare to look at it? It seems that what is more terrifying than the ghosts and gods is the human face. ”

Gui Xun'er turned the mask over, and then saw a line of writing in dried blood:

He disguised his jealousy with a mask of loyalty.
