126 Banner of the Orchid
"Look, the water is rising!" Wu San suddenly stood up, pointed to the water that was gradually flooding the stone platform and shouted. γLatest chapter reading. γ
Youlan Mu looked down and saw that the river had indeed risen, overflowing the stone platform and soaking the soles of his shoes. Seeing that the water was about to extinguish the bonfire on the ground, Youlan Mu and Wu San stepped forward quickly, picked up a few thick pieces of firewood, and held them in their hands like torches.
"Poof~" The remaining charcoal fire on the ground was instantly extinguished by the cold river water, and a puff of green smoke came up.
"Senior Brother Wu, what should we do, should we swim back the same way we came, or go down the dark river." Youlan Mu asked.
The water level of the Dark River is rising rapidly, and if this continues, the current will soon flood the entire statue, and possibly even to the top of the cave, and they must make a decision immediately.
"Go down." Wu San said categorically, in fact, they both understood that it was almost impossible to go upstream along the dark river, because the water potential was too large, and the power that people could borrow from floating in the water was very limited, and it was difficult for them to resist the surging water even if they poured spiritual power into their whole body.
Youlan Mu looked at the dark river with a pale face, and felt uncomfortable in his stomach when he thought that he would have to float downstream with these corpses later.
At this time, Wu San put the smoke pot into the storage bag, jumped directly on a corpse with some swelling, and shook it a few times to stabilize his body, these corpses were extremely buoyant, and Wu San stepped on it to just let the water flow over the calf.
Wu San saw that Youlan Mu was still stunned, and shouted, "Why are you stunned, don't come up quickly!" β
As soon as the voice reached Youlan Mu's ears, Wu San was swept down by the current of water and disappeared into the black hole in front of him, only a little shining torch showed his direction.
Youlan Mu took a deep breath, secretly said "offended", jumped up from the water that didn't reach his feet and neck, and jumped at the right time to jump on a corpse floating in front of him.
As soon as Youlan Mu fell on the corpse, the corpse sank downward, and with the ups and downs of the water potential, Youlan Mu's body was about to fall diagonally into the dark river as soon as he was crooked. At the critical moment, another floating corpse floated in front of him, and Youlan Mu stepped on it without hesitation, and shook it several times before stabilizing his body.
Youlan Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although the calf was still soaked in water, but compared to the whole person being soaked in water, it was very good now. Looking up, there was a firelight swaying from side to side in the darkness ahead, which made Youlan Mu feel much more at ease.
Drifting down the dark river, Youlanmu found that the top of the cave was getting lower and lower, and I don't know if it was because of the rising water, or if the original terrain was like this, and then Youlanmu had to half-squat on the corpse to avoid hitting his head on the rock on the top of the cave.
Looking down, the waves of the white flowers covered the vision, so that people could not see the face under the water, Youlan Mu secretly said lucky, if he saw the swollen face that was soaked, or the bulging eyeballs, it would definitely make him panic.
Suddenly, Youlan Mu saw the firelight in front of him disappear in a flash, and faintly heard the sound of falling water, and shouted anxiously, "Senior Brother Wu!" β
However, the black hole was as dark as a forest, how could there be any echo, and the floating corpse under his feet was shaking more and more, and Youlan Mu could only try his best to lower the center of gravity of his body to maintain stability.
With the ups and downs of the water, Youlan Mu seemed to see something in front of him, and raised the torch to the front, wanting to see it more clearly, but the fire was weak, and it could only illuminate things three meters in front of him at most, and how could he distinguish things more than a dozen away.
However, soon Youlanmu saw what it was, and floated down quickly along the current, a heavy copper wall hit head-on, and there was a pattern painted on the copper wall, Youlanmu didn't have time to see the specific appearance of the pattern, so he hit it head-on, only to hear a loud "bang", his right shoulder slammed on the copper plate, and Youlanmu's breath was stagnant, and his face was painful.
Youlan Mu was very angry in his heart, what kind of person designed the underground river channel, it was so immoral, a large copper plate was placed between the two rock walls, and his bones were about to break.
Then Youlan Mu slipped down against the copper wall, before the torch was extinguished, Youlan Mu seemed to see a dark blue pattern engraved on the front of the copper plate, Youlan Mu blinked his eyes twice, and wondered if he was dazzled, how could there be a pattern of the Youlan clan here, just as he was about to take a closer look, the cold water flow was not over his head.
Youlan Mu fell into the water again, and a corpse floated around him close to him, drifting down with him. Youlan Mu pushed away a few close corpses in disgust, and suddenly those corpses turned their heads in unison, opened their empty eyes one after another, and looked at Youlan Mu, the atmosphere was extremely strange for a while.
Youlan Mu was shocked and wanted to open his mouth to scream, but he was poured two mouthfuls of cold water, Youlan Mu didn't dare to stay, and immediately struggled to swim to the water.
After emerging from the water, he took two breaths of cold air, and pushed away the floating corpses around him in a panic, but there were so many floating corpses that no matter how he pushed them away, there would still be floating corpses floating next to him in the end, as if the river suddenly became smaller, squeezing all the corpses to his side.
Youlan Mu found that the height of the top of the cave from the water surface was getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, the entire top of the cave was almost attached to the surface of the river, and he was pressed directly under the surface of the water, and he could only rely on one breath to persevere, and the speed of the water was getting faster and faster, moving forward with him.
Just when Youlan Mu was about to lose his breath, in the dim water, Youlan Mu seemed to see a bright spot in front of him, the light point became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a light mirror to engulf him.
With a roar, the underground river erupted from a huge circular hole three meters wide and poured straight into the river below.
Youlan Mu floated up from the water, inhaling the air hard, and when he breathed his breath, he found that he was floating alone in a dead river, with more than a hundred corpses floating around, and everywhere he saw were corpses dressed in white, like a burial pit, and I don't know if it was because the underground river water was too cold, and Youlan Mu's cold hair stood up.
"Senior Brother Li, this way!" A familiar voice sounded in the distance, and Youlan Mu turned his head to see that it was the old man Wu San.
At this time, Wu San stood on the three-meter-high vertical embankment, pulling the thick iron chain on the guardrail with one hand and reaching down with the other.
Youlan Mu carefully brushed aside these corpses, immediately swam over, grabbed Wu San's rough palm, and climbed the river embankment with a long effort.
Sitting on the river embankment, Youlanmu and Wu San glanced at each other, both had the feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and the thought of soaking with so many corpses until now, choking on two mouthfuls of water on the way, Youlanmu felt a chill coming out of his bones.
After resting for a while, Youlan Mu began to look around, this is a very large natural cave, a straight high platform road spans the middle, like a river embankment, on both sides are river ponds of unknown depth, there is a neat row of round holes in the rock wall, from which a large amount of water is spewed, and there is a floating corpse.
"Plop!" Suddenly, a black shadow jumped in the river on the left, and before Youlan Mu could see it clearly, the black shadow disappeared into the water again.
Youlan Mu took the torch in Wu San's hand, raised his arm and took a photo, only to see a floating corpse on the dark water surface being torn into two sections, with bright red water lines, and then the half of the corpse seemed to be dragged into the water by something, and never floated up again.
You Lanmu and Wu San took a breath of cold air, and they both felt that this place was full of gloomy air.
"Be careful, there's something quirky about this place." Wu San looked around vigilantly and whispered.
Youlan Mu nodded, returned the torch to Wu San, took out the golden bow from the storage bag, mounted the iron arrow, and was ready to attack at any time, no matter what was in the river, if it dared to jump out of the water to attack them, it must taste his sharp arrows first.
You Lanmu and Wu San began to walk down the river embankment, in fact, they didn't know where it was up and where it was down, the surrounding scenery was almost the same, symmetrical, and the torch lighting range was limited, so they couldn't identify the direction at all, so they could only choose a direction along the straight river embankment.
Suddenly, the entire cave shook violently, and several loose rocks fell from a height of hundreds of meters, smashing into the river on both sides of the embankment, splashing a large splash. At this moment, all the floating corpses in the river opened their eyes as if they had been summoned, and the shocking scene of ten thousand corpses opening their eyes directly lifted Youlan Mu's heart.
After only a second, the originally silent river suddenly became noisy, and black shadows jumped out of the water like ghosts, as if the rivers on both sides of the embankment seemed to be boiled, and as these black shadows jumped out of the water, a large number of floating corpses began to be dismembered, and the entire river surface was dyed blood red.
Wu San's cheeks twitched, and he immediately shouted, "Run!" β
Youlan Mu also sensed a strong crisis, and ran forward quickly with the golden bow.
"Poof, poof" two soft sounds, two dark red water columns suddenly shot out of the river, shooting straight towards the two people, and the front end of the water column also condensed a hideous face, like crying and screaming, very infiltrating.
Youlan Mu didn't stop at his feet, turned around and drew his bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow pierced the grimace, and the water column flew into the air and shattered, turning into a rain of blood and pouring on the river embankment.
Although Wu San didn't have a spiritual weapon in his hand to fight back, when he ran, he stepped on the ground with his right foot, and immediately there was an earthen wall behind him, and the blood-colored water column hit the earthen wall directly, scattering into a blood stain.
Youlan Mu and the two of them knew that it was not good, they accelerated and ran, and more and more water columns shot out from the rivers on both sides of the embankment, like a dense storm, Youlan Mu and Wu San had little strength to fight back, so they could only desperately speed up, and ran out in advance before the blood-colored water column arrived.
When the two of them rushed out more than 1,000 meters along the river embankment, the appearance of a city wall was faintly revealed in front of them, the vermilion city gate was tightly closed, and a large plaque "Qianlinwei" was hung on it, which was the end point of this river embankment.
You Lanmu and Wu San didn't have time to think about it and immediately ran over, almost slamming open the city gate with their shoulders, and at the moment of flashing through the crack in the door, the two of them turned around at the same time and closed the open city gate again, and the hundreds of scarlet water pillars that followed hit the vermilion gate, and the city gate buzzed.
Slowly, the movement outside the door became smaller, and those water pillars with consciousness gave up useless attacks and all retreated.
Youlan Mu sat down tiredly leaning on the city gate, sweating profusely, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the dim city suddenly shone brightly, and the firelight lit up along the city walls on both sides, only to see that on the empty city square, an army composed of thousands of people was waiting for him.
To Youlanmu's surprise, the military flag standing at the front of the team was impressively reflected in the belief of the Youlan clan - dark blue patterns.
