Volume 3 Pure Country Chapter 143 Sword Gate
"If you look closely at the surface of the water, it seems that there is an outlet at the bottom of the water. Text Valley Jiang Mo leaned close to Ye Mu, looked at the water with his eyes, and whispered in Ye Mu's ear.
When Ye Mu heard this, his eyes were fixed on the surface of the water, and he didn't notice it, but Jiang Mo reminded him like this, and Ye Mu really found that this water was not stagnant water.
"It seems that the captain didn't deceive people, maybe there is no hole under the water," Ye Mu secretly guessed in his heart......
Everyone swam forward quickly, and soon there was no way out, which also confirmed Ye Mu's conjecture.
And the captain finally made a move, only to see him flying in the air, floating in mid-air, and said coldly: "Dive down?"
Everyone was a little panicked when they heard this, there are bloodthirsty demon rats under this water, isn't it death if they go down?
"Huh?" Seeing that everyone did not listen to him, the captain's face turned cold and his eyes were full of murderous energy.
"What should I do?" Ye Mu was in the crowd, talking to Jiang Mo.
"It seems that I have to go down, I will follow me later!" Jiang Mo frowned and said softly.
In the end, the captain still didn't make a move, and let the group of mercenaries take the lead in diving underwater, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
These people are not afraid to go down, but they are afraid of being the first to go down, because they will bear the brunt of it, and they will bear any danger by themselves.
This kind of mentality is very normal, no one wants to be that pathstone, and now the mercenaries themselves open the way in front, and the hearts of this group of people are much more balanced.
Without too much delay, everyone dived into the water, Ye Mu held a sword in one hand and two moonstones in the other, and Jiang Mo was close together.
The underwater is not as dark as imagined, but the hazy moonlight color, coupled with the moonstone in everyone's hands, this underwater is even clearer.
No bloodthirsty demon rats were found underwater, either hidden or waiting for an opportunity, so the danger still exists.
Moreover, in addition to the threat of the bloodthirsty demon rat, this underwater is still full of unknowns, Ye Muxuan Qi protects his eyes and cautiously pays attention to the movements around him.
Suddenly, several black shadows quickly rushed towards the crowd, this time Ye Mu was too lazy to be clear, and a few bloodthirsty demon rats full of fangs and claws tore the outermost few people to pieces.
"It's not good, the bloodthirsty demon rat is here!" Ye Mu was frightened, and secretly said something bad in his heart.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Rats live in the water, and their speed in the water is several times that of the shore, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Rats of this Ghost Fog Sea have mutated.
Although they have become larger, their speed has not decreased, and their attack power has increased.
Under the water, there was no power to fight back under the Xuan Realm, which made Ye Mu very anxious, and he couldn't speak in the water.
The Xuan Qi transmission did not reach the Xuan Qi realm, so he could only communicate with Jiang Mo with gestures and eyes, and everyone also realized the seriousness of the problem.
I had to speed up and dive hard to the bottom of the water, and there were people at the back of the team who were constantly taken away by the bloodthirsty demon rats, but everyone couldn't care so much.
There may be a way to live forward, but there is only a dead end to go back.
The captain was still on the water, and did not go into the water, his eyes were fixed on the water, and he muttered to himself: "The Lord said that there may be something here that I can't resist, what is it?"
The people at the bottom of the water frantically went downstream, and finally saw a broken stone door, and the water flowed through the tiny gap.
Everyone was overjoyed, and they all rushed to the stone gate, and Ye Mu and Jiang Mo also came to the stone gate.
This door is five meters high and about four meters wide, I didn't expect that there was such a big door under the water, Ye Mu saw that there seemed to be two big characters engraved on the door.
However, these two words have been damaged, and I vaguely guess that it should be "Sword Gate"!
"Sword Gate?" Ye Mu thought slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this was once a sect?"
"No, this is the Ghost Mist Sea, how can a sect stand here?" Ye Mu shook his head slightly, falling into deep thought.
But the group of mercenaries stepped forward and groped in front of the stone gate, as if looking for a mechanism to open the stone door.
Ye Mu glanced back, and roughly calculated, there were only about four hundred people left on his side, and two people were also lost on the mercenary side.
"You guys just look for it slowly, I have to find a way to slip away, follow behind this group of mercenaries, even if I don't die in this ghost place, I will die in their hands......" Ye Mu stared at the group of mercenaries with his eyes, thinking about his escape plan.
But those bloodthirsty demon rats didn't chase after them, they just stared at this side from a distance, as if there was something behind the stone gate that they were afraid of.
At this time, the captain who was on the surface of the water looked at the broken jade in his hand, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and then released the mysterious qi around his body, propped up a protective shield and dived into the water.
He was fast, leaving a column of water in the water, and in a few moments he came to the Sword Gate, killing several bloodthirsty demon rats trying to stop him on the way.
Everyone consciously made way for the captain, he came to the door, looked up at the two words on the door, and then stepped forward and put his palms on the door.
"Boom ......"
His Xuan Qi erupted, and the water around him formed a small whirlpool, and the stone door that did not move at all finally moved, opening little by little.
The group of mercenaries also rushed to help, and a gap half a foot wide finally appeared in the middle of the entire stone gate.
"Hoo ......"
The water flowed through the gap and poured into the stone gate, and everyone was driven by the water, unable to stay, and was washed away fiercely and hit the stone gate.
Ye Mu and Jiang Mo were also washed away, and they had cursed this group of mercenaries dozens of times in their hearts, especially the captain, Ye Mu wanted to rush up and give him two punches.
The flow of water slowed down until the pressure on both sides of the stone gate equalized, and everyone entered the back of the stone gate through the gap.
As soon as he entered the stone gate, Ye Mu's water here was blue and very clear, but the captain raised his hand slightly and motioned for everyone to stop.
Ye Mu frowned slightly, looked around, and found that there was nothing but water.
The captain took out a piece of jade that glowed red from the spatial ring, and looked around with his eyes, as if looking for something.
Ye Mu looked around and was thinking about how to escape, but if he returned the way he came, he would still be in danger of his life if he was stopped by a bloodthirsty demon rat.
You can only find a way from here, and if you want to escape, you must observe the environment, because this is the sea of ghost fog, and if you don't explore it clearly, you may be stepping into a dead end.
Suddenly, the captain beckoned and swam in one direction, and the others could only follow.
"Ah...... Whew......"
In about ten minutes, everyone surfaced, all gasping for breath, and Ye Mu was no exception.
Although Xuan Shi can stay in the water for a long time, it consumes Xuan Qi very much, and some of the low cultivation levels can't last long.
Ye Mu, who was panting with his waist bowed his head, was called up by Jiang Mo, and when he looked up, he was stunned.
In front of Ye Mu were buildings, although the light was dim, there were still scattered moonstones inlaid on the walls, so they could barely see clearly.
"Wow! ...... here" Ye Mu opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
It wasn't just Ye Mu who was stunned, everyone was also stunned, they couldn't believe that there would be such a big hall down here.
"Was this really a sect at one time?" Ye Mu muttered to himself.
Jiang Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but it's still well preserved here, is the treasure here?"
When the people close to Jiang Mo heard his words, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they shouted: "Treasures! Top treasures! Haha, there must be a lot of treasures here, this is it!haha......"
When everyone heard the voice, their faces were all happy, and some of them were already rubbing their hands, and their eyes did not hide their greed for treasures.
"Brothers, rush, the treasure is ours, haha!" Finally, someone couldn't resist the temptation and shouted and rushed towards the group of buildings.
Someone rushed out one after another, but Ye Mu didn't move, because he noticed that the group of mercenaries and the captain were all looking like they were watching a good show.
"Why didn't they go? Do they want these people to find out if it's dangerous?" Ye Mu raised his eyebrows and secretly guessed.
"Ahh......h
Sure enough, before the dozens of people could rush to the entrance of the main hall, they were killed by sharp arrows shot from under the floor.
The group of people who rushed behind immediately stopped their feet and kept retreating, their faces full of joy revealing a pale color at the moment.
"I really don't know whether to live or die!" the captain snorted coldly and walked slowly towards the main hall.
Ye Mu and Jiang Mo glanced at each other, and also followed, only to see the captain pass through the group of people, step over those corpses, and enter the main hall.
"Are you alright?"
"Gone?"
The group of frightened people who did not dare to step forward were suspicious, and they also cautiously followed into the main hall.
This hall was very large, even bigger than the hall that Ye Mu had seen under the academy's cultivation room.
"Go search!" the captain ordered the mercenaries beside him.
The group of mercenaries dispersed and went to various rooms, Ye Mu glanced at Jiang Mo, and quietly left, hiding in a room.
"What now?" Ye Mu closed the door and asked in a low voice.
"I can't continue to follow them, the captain will definitely kill people. There's no one here to match him, and we'll have to find a way to escape. Jiang Mo's expression was calm and analyzed.
"I know, but how to escape? We don't know anything here, what if we escape to a dead place?" Ye Mu spread his hands and said with a wry smile.
"Then what do you say?" Jiang Mo glanced outside the door and asked.
"Let's hide first, there are still about 300 people outside, even if they want to kill them, we can still resist for a while. Ye Mu pondered.
Hearing Ye Mu's words, Jiang Mo shook his head slightly, not quite agreeing with Ye Mu's words.
"I'm afraid they don't have the courage to resist at all! Have you forgotten? In the cave before, five hundred people didn't dare to resist, let alone these people now?" Jiang Mo frowned.
"If they are really cornered, they will definitely resist, they will die anyway, they will always fight, this is also human nature. Ye Mu said lightly.
"That makes sense, so what do we do now?" Jiang Mo nodded slightly and asked.
"Now?"
Ye Mu muttered, the corners of his mouth rose, and said with a smile: "Of course it's looking for treasures, don't be in vain, the mercenary won't kill us for a while, and he still wants to use these people to help him search for treasures!"
