Chapter 677: The Stone That Eats Man
Mu Jinyun looked around and found that there were four high cliffs, and there was no road in front of him.
He asked Ning Xiaoyi: "Little brother, this should be the end of the Valley of Romance, where is the Sanssouci Spring you are talking about?" ”
Ning Xiaoyi pointed to the deep pool and replied: "At the bottom of the pool, it is rumored that there is a hidden cave in the deepest part of the pool, and there is a hidden spring in the cave, and that spring is the Sanssouci Spring. ”
Mu Jinyun squatted down, carefully observed for a long time, frowned and said: "The area of this pool is not large, but it is very deep, and it is easy for too many people to touch the mechanism by mistake when they go down together."
Little brother, I have an idea, if you can trust me, our family will go down first, and then you will come down after the ban in the water is broken, what do you think? ”
Ning Xiaoyi hesitated, not because the idea was not good, but because he couldn't fully believe Mo Zixuan, in case he saw that he wanted to make money and did something underwater, wouldn't his family have to suffer a big loss when he went into the water.
He really didn't guess wrong, that's what Master Mu intended, and if the Sanssouci Spring below was genuine and full of water, he wouldn't mind sharing it with the Ning family.
But if there are more monks and less porridge, then he can only take it as he already has, which is related to Xue'er's injury, and if it really comes to the point of view, he will not be able to take care of any morality.
Ning Xiaoqi said to her eldest brother: "Big brother, I'll go down with them, you wait for my news, and after I send the news, you can come down together." ”
Ning Xiaoyi pondered for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, you accompany them down, you must be more careful!" ”
Mu Jinyun did not refuse this arrangement, he knew that the Ning family would definitely not be at ease to let them act alone, so let Ning Xiaoqi follow, which could be regarded as sending an overseer.
However, when it came to turning her face, a Ning Xiaoqi didn't do anything at all, and Mu Jinyun was confident that she could get her in one breath, and there was no need to turn her face with the Ning family in advance for this.
The five of them made a little preparation, Mu Jinyun's family jumped into the water first, Ning Xiaoqi followed, or Yun Wanling in front and the others behind, sneaking down cautiously all the way.
After swimming for a while, Yun Wanling turned around and motioned to everyone, keeping a distance from her to ensure safety, and when she encountered a forbidden formation in the water, she was responsible for breaking it.
As they continued to swim towards the depths of the pool, the pressure of the water around them began to increase, and the light became more and more dim, and it would have been difficult for ordinary mortals to see.
But for Mu Jinyun and them, this is not a problem at all.
The High Monks have sharp eyesight and are also aided by divine sense, so they can clearly discern their surroundings even in dim environments.
Dai Yunling hesitated while swimming in the water, whether to kill Ning Xiaoqi now, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she felt that it was difficult to get rid of her suspicions now, so she decided to continue to hold back.
Everyone swam to the bottom of the pool, and Yun Wanling motioned for everyone to stop, and swam alone in front of a boulder.
She circled the boulder a few times, looked around, and finally swam to the boulder, reaching out and patting on different parts of the boulder.
Strange things happened, the boulder seemed to have life, and after being photographed in some places, a piece would immediately bulge out, and in some places, a large piece would immediately sink out.
Yun Wanling slapped for a while, and the boulder began to tremble slightly, and then slowly squirmed to the side, revealing a hidden hole.
Mu Jinyun was very surprised, and asked with his soul thoughts: "What kind of stone is this, how can it still squirm?" ”
Jiao Ling's soul thoughts were the first to be transmitted.
"Brother-in-law, this is not a stone but a divine beast, it is alive, it is sealed by people and left here, responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave, if the activation order is wrong, it will eat people!"
Mu Jinyun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you eat Venerable?" ”
Jiao Ling immediately replied: "Under the extreme realm, it eats everything, its body has its own realm, and the monks below the extreme realm can refine it into nothingness. ”
Mu Jinyun told Dai Yunling the news, and the latter was surprised: "I only knew that it was a town guard beast, I didn't expect it to have such a great ability, that's great, I'll use it to do a little trick!" ”
Mu Jinyun suddenly became alert, and then said to Dai Yunling: "Your target is here, someone sneaks into the water, you can yin him!" ”
Dai Yunling agreed without hesitation.
The shepherd family members all used soul thoughts to communicate, how could Ning Xiaoqi know the inside story, and her divine thoughts also sensed that someone had entered the water, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.
However, thinking that this might be the eldest brother's arrangement, he pretended to be casual, and was quiet on the surface, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
In terms of his attitude towards Mo Zixuan, his family was too utilitarian.
After all, people are here to help, and they don't owe anything to the Ning family, and the coldness and selfishness of her own family make her feel very uncomfortable, and her own submission and compromise also make her feel guilty from time to time.
The process of this treasure hunt was not smooth, the whereabouts of the eighth brother's family are unknown, and it is likely that they have suffered misfortune, and the ninth sister died tragically in front of herself.
These changes made Ning Xiaoqi seriously doubt whether the decision to hunt for treasures was correct, was this an opportunity for the Ning family, or a disaster for the Ning family?
Several mermaids penetrated into the hole, still Yun Wanling was in front, Jiao Ling was second, Mu Jinyun was the third, and Dai Yunling was the fourth.
When passing by the boulder, Dai Yunling's hand seemed to hold the stone at random, Ning Xiaoqi had no doubt about this, and swam into the cave with him at the end.
After passing through a ban on avoiding water, everyone's side suddenly became dry, and a cave appeared in front of them, with an area of about a dozen zhang square.
In the center of the cave there is a spring, bubbling with clear water, flowing down the grooves in the ground, through the surrounding stone walls, I don't know where it flows.
Yun Wanling came to the spring, squatted down to take a closer look, and took a sip of water in her hand.
Then he said to Mu Jinyun: "Husband, the water is quite sweet, but it is still an ordinary spring, is this the worry-free spring they are looking for?" ”
Mu Jinyun already understood what she meant, this was not Sanssouci Spring at all, and he couldn't help but be very disappointed, but his face was impassive.
He said to Ning Xiaoqi: "You can let them come down and let your eldest brother identify it, is it what you are looking for?" ”
Ning Xiaoqi also took a sip of water, and then said: "No, this is ordinary spring water, it shouldn't be a worry-free spring, I'll let them come down and take a look." ”
Dai Yunling pretended to say: "Wait a minute, the town guard beast at the door is very powerful, you tell them to be more careful, don't mess around, otherwise there will be danger?" ”
Ning Xiaoqi was stunned, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of town guard beast, what town guard beast, what danger, didn't we come over smoothly?" ”
Dai Yunling explained: "It's that big stone, it's a kind of divine beast, it's sealed here, you let them stay away, if they accidentally touch it, they will die." ”
Ning Xiaoqi was taken aback and hurriedly rushed out.
As soon as she came to the entrance of the cave, she was horrified to find that half of Ning Xiaoliu's body had been swallowed by the big stone, and a large stream of blood came out of his mouth and body, and then it was swallowed by the big stone.
The big stone regained his composure, and Ning Xiaoqi almost fainted.
She did not dare to approach the big rock, so she quickly fell back, sat down on the ground and wept bitterly.
Mu Jinyun asked pretendedly: "Daoyou, what's wrong with you, why are you crying?" ”
Ning Xiaoqi choked up and said, "Sixth brother, sixth brother was eaten!" ”
Mu Jinyun was shocked and said loudly: "Ah, when did he come down, didn't I ask them not to come, why don't you listen to me!" ”
Ning Xiaoqi had a hard time arguing, just crying vigorously.
Yun Wanling couldn't help but laugh and reminded him: "You hurry up and send a message to the others, they don't know the details yet, don't be eaten by big stones again."
You tell them not to touch the rock, because if they don't touch it, nothing will happen. ”
Ning Xiaoqi wiped away his tears, immediately sent a message to Ning Xiaoyi, and then hugged his knees and whimpered.
This treasure hunt can be said to be extremely hurtful, not to mention that she didn't get anything, the sixth brother, the eighth brother, and the ninth sister are gone, how can you not let her break her liver and intestines.
After a while, the rest of the Ning family also came to the cave, and after seeing Ning Xiaoqi, Ning Xiaoyi asked eagerly: "Seventh sister, what happened, what is Xiaoliu?" ”
Ning Xiaoqi burst into tears and told the story intermittently.
Ning Xiao beat his chest and blamed himself: "Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have agreed to Xiaoliu going into the water, I hurt him, it's all my fault!" ”
Several other brothers also cried together, and Ning Xiaoer took out a giant sword and shouted angrily: "I, I'm going to kill that big stone." ”
Yun Wanling hurriedly shouted: "You must not do that, if you provoke it and let it come to its senses completely, none of us will be able to leave, you will definitely not be able to beat it, don't think about avenging your brother." ”
Jiao Ling answered: "Don't act rashly, let's hurry over and see if this is the Sanssouci Spring you are looking for, and then leave here immediately."
Except for the spring, don't touch anything in the cave, otherwise no one will be able to leave. ”
Ning Xiaoyi hurriedly instructed Ning Xiaowu to look at Ning Xiaoer, and personally went to check the clear spring, and after carefully identifying it, he lamented: "No, this is not a worry-free spring at all, we came in vain this time." ”
The Ning family looked depressed one by one, as if they had lost their souls, and they all stood on the spot.
After a while, Ning Xiaosi walked up to Ning Xiaoyi and said in a low voice, "Big brother, there are still a few caves around, should we go in and check it out?" ”
Yun Wanling immediately said: "Wait a minute, if you insist on hunting for treasures, we will definitely not stop you, but please let us leave first, and after we leave, you can stay at will."
Rest assured, if you make it back alive, we will never ask you for anything. ”
Ning Xiaoyi was startled when he heard this, and asked with some hesitation: "Girl, is that thing at the door really that scary?" ”
Yun Wanling sneered: "After we leave, won't you know if you give it a try?" ”
Ning Xiaosi didn't believe her words at all, and said to Ning Xiaoyi: "Big brother, don't listen to her alarmism, you can stay away, I will continue to hunt for treasures alone, in case of any danger, it's a big deal that you come and save me."
