Chapter 16: Fragments

The closer he got to the source of the river, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu.

"It seems like this has happened before. Jian Xiaozhi thought in his heart, recalling similar situations in the past.

After a while, the Qinglan brought in front stopped.

"Arrived?"

"No, but I can't get over it before, and the rest is up to you to do it. Qinglan pointed to the place in front of her that was halfway blocked by the river.

Sure enough, the river in front of us has already converged in the past, which means that the front is the source of the river. As for Qinglan, Jian Xiaozhi has no front, and before the curse is resolved, as long as she steps into the river, there will be a cursed situation. Then it is not possible to cross the river without touching the surface of the river.

"Qinglan, you can stay here, I'll go and see it now. ”

Qinglan has the mid-level strength of the king level, so she doesn't have to worry too much about her safety.

Crossing the converging river, there was only a zigzag river left in front of Jian Xiaozhi. At first glance, the creek flows down from the mountains.

Following the river, Jian Xiaozhi quickly found the source of the river, a deep pool.

A steady stream of living water emerges from the deep pool and flows down the riverbed.

Jian Xiaozhi walked around the waterhole, but still didn't find anything else in the waterhole.

"Is it underwater?"

At this time, Jian Xiaozhi remembered that the same thing had happened to him. When he sneaked into the cold pool, he found a secret passage. Eventually, a remnant sword was found in a cave, and it was eventually absorbed by the Burial Sword.

This time, Jian Xiaozhi did not hesitate and jumped directly into the pool.

Diving into the waterhole for less than a few meters, the familiar sensation emerges again.

Hantan, this waterhole is also a coldpool.

Jian Xiaozhi sped up his dive, and after half a moment, Jian Xiaozhi finally found a cave under the cold pool.

Before swimming to the cave, Jian Xiaozhi continued without hesitation.

"Whew"

A quarter of an hour later, Jian Xiaozhi finally passed through the cave and came to a large cave.

The layout in front of him was exactly the same as the previous encounter, and with the help of memory, Jian Xiaozhi began to grope in the cave. But unfortunately I found that there is nothing in the cave except for the exact same layout.

"Is it a coincidence? But why is there anything left here? ”

Jian Xiaozhi found a side of the cave, and several hidden caves were also found, but they were all empty.

"Do you want to go back like this?"

Jian Xiaozhi pondered, but there was really nothing here, and staying would only be a waste of time.

However, when Kenko-chan left the sword, the burial sword in the sword box vibrate.

"It's ......"

Jian Xiaozhi immediately took out the burial sword, and then relied on the resonance of the funeral sword to find the source of the resonance.

After a while, Jian Xiaozhi came to a smooth cave wall.

After gently knocking several times, I found that the wall was solid. But the resonance of the burial sword still did not stop.

"Is it in the wall?"

Jian Xiaozhi immediately swung the Burial Sword, but the wall was still unscathed by the attack of the sword qi.

Jian Xiaozhi strengthened his attack, but the wall was like a copper wall, no matter how Jian Xiaozhi attacked, there was still no trace of destruction.

"It's obviously just an ordinary rock wall, why can it block my sword qi attack?"

Jian Xiaozhi was puzzled, but because of the resonance, he did not give up and continued to attack the wall.

Again and again, tireless attacks, even if Jian Xiaozhi increased his power to the extreme, there was still no movement.

In front of Xiaohe, Qinglan anxiously waited for Jian Xiaozhi to come back.

However, at this time, Qinglan found that hundreds of people from the town had come with weapons in their hands, ready to deal with her.

"Mayor Town, why are you here?" Qinglan asked calmly.

"Hmph, if I don't come, will you let your real murderer and accomplice get away with it?" Tell me quickly, did you kill Qingshan with outsiders!" The mayor asked Qinglan with a spear.

"Aoyama is dead? Is it impossible, Xiao Zhi just knocked them unconscious, and didn't kill them at all. Qinglan immediately retorted, and at that time, she also checked Qingshan and them, and they were indeed knocked unconscious before leaving with confidence.

If they were really killed, then there must have been other outsiders in the town.

However, with the posture of the mayor of the town, they are definitely coming to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, even if Qinglan analyzes it, it is difficult to argue.

"Qinglan, you are from a small town, as long as you admit that Qingshan was killed by you. Then take the initiative to offer it to the mountain god, and as the mayor of the town, I can forgive you for your mistakes. The mayor said sadly.

But Qinglan sensed that something was wrong with the mayor's tone.

Aoyama must not be dead, and the mayor of the town came here to offer her to the so-called mountain god.

Although Qinglan's strength has reached the middle of the king level, the town is much stronger than her. If they are captured alive, they will die and be uncomfortable.

I don't know what the so-called mountain god is Qinglan, but looking at the posture of the mayor, the so-called mountain god is probably the one who caused the beast tide.

Faced with a dilemma, Qinglan would rather be cursed to die than be offered to the mountain god by the mayor.

So, Qinglan ran towards the source of the river, and after crossing the river, she ran towards the top of the mountain.

"Damn, what is the mayor going to do now? Qinglan, the little slut, ran to the mountain. The townsman asked.

Because of the curse, none of them dared to approach Xiaohe even a step.

"Hmph, what do I know I do?" said the mayor, angrily.

After Qinglan crossed the river, the curse slowly took effect, but the speed was relatively slow, but sooner or later she would die of old age because of the curse. But she kept running towards the source of the small river at the top of the mountain.

At this time, Jian Xiaozhi still had nothing to do with the wall, and he tried dozens of attacks but still couldn't break the wall.

"Is it ......?"

Suddenly, Jian Xiaozhi thought of a solution.

In an instant, the Heavenly Sword reappeared.

Because of the height of the cave, Jian Xiaozhi had to compress the Heavenly Sword to the remaining five meters high, but after being compressed, the power of the Heavenly Sword became even greater. This was what he undoubtedly discovered.

Hit the wall with all your might.

Bang!

The cavern shook violently, and the walls finally cracked open under the blow.

Dangling. A piece of metal fell out of the wall.

Jian Xiaozhi picked up the metal, surprised in his heart.

"This is, the Celestial Sword Fragment. ”

Thinking back to Qinglan's words, the black box carried by the outsiders who came here at the beginning was probably the sword box, otherwise how could there be a fragment of the Heavenly Sword left here?

But what about the so-called curse?

"Forget it, you won't find any useful clues if you stay any longer, so let's leave first. ”

At least this trip is worth it, go back the way you came.

When Jian Xiaozhi emerged from the pool, he found the white-haired Qinglan lying on the edge of the pool.

"Qinglan!"
