Chapter 55: Horror at the bottom of the lake

Seeing this scene, Huang Cong's heart couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time, he also found that the arm that the Nine Swords Elder had broken by himself had not been connected, and it seemed that the cold and ice qi in his body had completely wiped out the vitality of his place, and until now Huang Cong had not completely understood the mystery of ice and fire.

Elder Nine Swords has always had a gloomy expression since he broke his arm, as if he was going to swallow alive the thief who broke his arm in the first place, Huang Cong thought about it, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, and covered his face,

After a while, the Nine Swords Elder said: "Okay, I have already buried the formation around here, even if that terrifying storage Zài suddenly comes, it will be blocked for a while, we will go down immediately." ”

Huang Cong looked carefully, in addition to the Nine Swords Elder, the other two old men also sneaked into this lake with him, and Nangong Meng and a young man were left on the shore as a response, Nangong Meng had reached the level of a military general at this time, and that young man was still in the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Martial Arts.

There was a ripple on the surface of the water, and after a while, Huang Cong was surprised, feeling that the water level was constantly falling, and the nearby soil layer was collapsing downward, as if a slight earthquake had occurred, I don't know if this change would attract those cultivators who lived in this mountain range at night, and at the same time, he secretly prayed that the Nine Sword Elders could quickly find the lost inheritance.

At this moment, the surface of the water exploded, and the Nine Swords Elder and the other two old men jumped forward, and Nangong Meng said, "Senior Uncle, is something wrong?"

Elder Nine Swords did not reply, but secretly watched the changes in this lake, and in just a few moments, the water in the lake had dried up, but there were no creatures or holy relics in it.

Huang Cong opened his mouth in surprise: "How can this be?"

And Nangong Meng and the other old men were also puzzled, and the Nine Swords Elder actually showed a smile when he saw this at this time, and one of the old men said, "Senior brother, how can this be, isn't this the place where the ancient gods have been left behind?"

Elder Nine Swords' eyes lit up and said: "This is indeed the place where the ancient gods have been left and inherited, but they are more cleverly hidden, judging from the content of the ancient records of the sheepskin, the four ancient gods fought for this treasure at the beginning, and in the end, only one ancient god survived, and he was already seriously injured, and he didn't have any strength to look for it again, but he was not willing to leave, so he used great power to cover up this piece, and was ready to wait until the future to find it, but why did he never come since he left to recuperate?"

After that, the Nine Swords Elder pondered for a moment and sighed, "Could it be that the seriously injured Ancient God finally died because he was too injured before he could find it?"

At this time, the young man next to him said, "Uncle Shi, do you mean that the thing that the four ancient gods are fighting for is under this lake, but there is nothing in it?"

Huang Cong in the distance was also puzzled, but he also secretly watched the movements of the Nine Swords Elder, he was very clear about himself, at the beginning, for the ice and fire in his body, he directly killed all the disciples of the same sect, just to monopolize the ice and fire without revealing the rumors, and finally this big crime was still on his body, I am afraid that after getting the treasure that the ancient gods fought for, he would also attack a few people next to him!

The Nine Swords Elder was already suspended above the lake at this time, and his left hand was instantly wrapped in a layer of majestic Yuan Force, glowing with dazzling light, and then slashed towards the lake below, which was already empty.

'Boom'

With a loud bang, a huge crack appeared between the bottom of the lake, and suddenly a clear spring rushed out of the crack, and everyone exclaimed: "No wonder the water level suddenly dropped in an instant, but there is something strange below!"

Huang Cong was also secretly shocked, and sighed: "It turns out that the reason why the Northern Wilderness is so barren is because all the water sources are stored at the bottom, I am afraid that with the skill of that ancient god, he will definitely not let these water sources leak out for half a cent, so the plains are showing patches of dry yellow land." ”

The changes continued, the crack that was cut open by the Nine Swords Elder continued to expand, and the surrounding soil layers continued to collapse, and after a few moments, the entire bottom of the lake had been torn apart, and all the clods of soil had sunk to the bottom of the water.

Everyone's eyes widened again: "It's actually a lake within a lake, but I don't know how deep this underground lake is that is so well hidden?"

An old man next to Nangong Meng said in surprise: "Senior brother, the luster on the Nine Rotation Instrument is a little brighter, it seems that it is indeed right under this!"

Because the underground lake that appeared in front of everyone again was too calm, even if the breeze blew, there was no trace of waves, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, although this mysterious treasure is indeed attractive, but safety is also particularly important.

At this time, the Nine Swords Elder suddenly looked around at Yiqiqi, as if he was looking for something, and as his gaze swept over little by little, Huang Cong was shocked: "Could it be that I have been discovered, but I have completely blocked my breath?"

At this time, he had already put on a mask, and by the way, he used some dirt to wipe it on his forehead, afraid that the Nine Sword Elders would recognize him, and then it would be a bloody battle, according to his current strength, he could not compete with him.

After a while, Elder Nine Swords didn't seem to have gained anything, and said: "Originally, I wanted to hunt for some small animals and throw them into this lake to see what was going on, it seems that because there was a terrifying storage zài on this side before, it was difficult to find any traces of birds and beasts, and now I have to take risks, if the time is delayed again, in case that terrifying storage zài comes back from foraging, I don't know if we people can handle it." ”

With that, the Nine Swords Elder jumped into the river, and the two old men next to him said: "Meng'er, and Qing'er, you two are waiting on the shore, even if you notify us if you find any situation, if you find that that the terrifying Cunzi Zài has returned, flee immediately." ”

After the two old men finished explaining, they also jumped into the lake, Huang Cong secretly anxiously waited, originally wanted to figure out Guò's own mental strength to see if he could see through the bottom of the water, even if it was only a meter deeper, but after a few times, he had to smile astringently: "It seems that my heat has not yet arrived home!"

After a period of time, the lake was still as calm as ever, Nangong Meng, the young man and Huang Cong were all waiting anxiously, and at this time, the water surface finally had a trace of ripples, and then the entire water surface was exploded, but it was not the Nine Sword Elder and the other two old men who emerged from the water, it was a big fish, a fish full of teeth.

"Oh my God, what did Uncle Shi and what they went through underwater?" exclaimed the young man next to Nangong Meng.

While everyone was still thinking, the surface of the water was blasted open again, and this time there were still a few strange fish on the surface, as well as countless water snakes, each as thick as an arm.

Everyone was terrified, not knowing what other species would appear under this water, and even Nangong Meng, who had been cold as frost, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise at this time.

Huang Cong secretly calculated the time, the Nine Swords Elder and the two old men had already dived to the bottom of the water for almost an hour, how deep was the bottom of this lake? I don't know, at this time, the water surface was already full of blood red, in addition to those dead strange fish and water snakes, at this time, a strange species actually floated, and the water surface next to it was once again stained red with blood.

It's just that the more I look at it, the more I feel frightened, the strange species seems to be wearing human clothes, at this moment, another strange fish flew out of the water, just drove the strange species before, with a large area surfacing the water, Huang Cong didn't have time to explore, and the young man next to Nangong Meng exclaimed: "It's Uncle Shi, it's Uncle Shi's corpse, oh my God, what's at the bottom of this lake?"

Just when everyone was still in panic, the originally dark water surface actually emitted a faint light, which seemed extremely sacred, and in an instant, the water surface exploded again, and the Nine Sword Elder reached the shore with a vertical leap, stroking the glowing object in his hand, Huang Cong in the distance looked carefully, and found that he was holding a simple box in his hand, and all the holy light was emanating from the box.

The young man next to him was first surprised, then panicked, and said, "Elder Nine Swords, I just saw that a senior uncle is dead, and the body is floating on the water, how can this be, what about the other senior uncle?"

Elder Nine Swords' face was ruddy, he looked at the box carefully, and since he only had one arm, he didn't open it immediately, and said casually to the young man next to him: "Both of them are dead, there's nothing to worry about!"

After finishing speaking, not only the young man, but even Nangong Meng's face was pale, these are the two elders in the sect, they will die if they say they die, and the loss to the sect is not small.

At this time, the holy light that originally emanated from the box had converged, and the Nine Swords Elder said to himself: "It turns out that the reason why that ancient god didn't have the ability to take away this box back then, but only used great strength to hide this side, was because one of the ancient gods did something on this box, and I also lost my cleverness to block this fatal blow with the two of them at a critical moment, I originally thought that after so many years, the huge power on the box has dissipated, but I didn't expect to take the lives of the two of them, this is not to blame me!"

After finishing speaking, Nangong Meng and the young man beside him were already angry, ashamed of his actions.

The young man said, "Elder Nine Swords, how can you do this, how can you deal with the head of the sect when you go back like this?"

Huang Cong knew that the Nine Swords Elder had already revealed his true nature, and the next step should be to kill everyone and take the box in his hand for himself.

Sure enough, after the young man finished speaking, the Nine Swords Elder kicked out in the air, and the young man in front of him suddenly flew out upside down like a kite with a broken string, with unwillingness to die in his eyes.

Seeing this, Nangong suddenly took a few steps back, had already pulled out the soft sword in his hand, and said coldly: "At the beginning, in the depths of the mountain, that evil thief accused me of killing those disciples in the sect at that time, I still don't believe it, it seems that I was wrong, you have already planned for today's qiē, do you want to kill all of us and monopolize the treasure?"

Elder Nine Swords smiled: "Yes, it is the old man who did it, there are only two kinds of people in this world, the strong and the weak, I am destined to have the essence of becoming a hero, do you little baby be captured or wait for me to end your life?"

Nangong Meng's face was still as cold as ice, but his heart was already nervous, looking for an escape route everywhere, and said: "I only hate that I didn't expose your viciousness to the head of the house at the beginning, so that I can lead to today's situation, and you will get retribution sooner or later." After finishing speaking, the soft sword in his hand suddenly danced more than a dozen sword flowers, instantly attacking the Nine Sword Elder,

In the face of these dozen sword flowers, the Nine Sword Elder actually laughed, and drank it casually, not only did it disperse the sword flowers, but the terrifying power attacked her even more.

Nangong Mengqi couldn't prevent a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and Huang Cong was secretly frightened in the distance, frightened that this Nine Sword Elder hadn't seen him for a while, and his skills were even deeper than before.

At the same time, he also thought about whether he wanted to make a move, although he didn't have any good feelings for Nangong Meng in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't bear it, and recalled her cold words at the beginning, and laughed a few times.
