Volume 2 The Madman at Ease Chapter 092 The Tomb of General Maha
The road is unfathomable, and the light of the Changming tube can only illuminate a range of two or three zhang in the turbid water at the bottom of the river.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally curiosity prevailed, and he pedaled the river twice, and slowly drifted down the river to the depths of the road.
There were many fish, shrimp and water insects under the river, and they dodged around with his arrival, and a turbid current awoke wherever he passed.
The road runs diagonally downward, and the further you swim in, the more sediment accumulates, making the space narrow.
Li Yuan walked forward for a distance, and suddenly felt a faint spiritual power fluctuation in front of him, so he sped up and swam in.
When I looked closer, it turned out to be a psychic river shrimp, almost as thick as a thigh, but the Dao line was still very low, about equivalent to an immortal cultivator at the third level of qi refining.
After the shrimp demon channeled, he had a certain amount of wisdom, and when he felt the aura emanating from Li Yuan's body, he was very frightened, and hurriedly fled deeper.
Li Yuan followed unhurriedly, and after a while, another aura appeared in front of him, it was a water snake spirit monster equivalent to a fifth-level Qi refining cultivator.
The river shrimp spirit ran into the water snake spirit, probably because he had one more companion and had confidence, so he no longer ran away. The two elves swam over together, instigating their weak demonic power to attack him.
A water arrow and a mouthful of venom crossed the river and hit Li Yuan, he slapped forward at random, and then scattered the two attacks, and at the same time, the remaining strength was not reduced, and it slapped directly on the water snake spirit monster and the river shrimp spirit monster.
The two spirits couldn't dodge, and were directly crushed by the palm wind, and their spiritual power dissipated and fell into the mud.
After solving the two spirits, Li Yuan secretly wondered in his heart: "There are monster activities in this underwater passage, it shouldn't be a monster's lair in the deepest part, right?"
This conjecture made him have the idea of retreating.
After all, he was beaten by the King of Hengjiang in the realm of Guiyuan just now, and if he accidentally broke into the lair of the big demon, it would be a lot of fun.
But then he thought about it, the size of the King of Hengjiang was huge, even if he didn't count the eight barbed legs, the size of the carapace on his back alone was already a zhang wide.
And the width of this corridor is only about seven feet, unless the blue crab demon can change the size of the body, it will definitely not be able to enter.
But if it's not a monster lair, where does this passage lead?
It can be seen that this underwater tunnel is artificially built, and the reason why it appears under the river is nothing more than two possibilities.
One possibility is that the humans or youkai who built the tunnel were already living underwater, which was the way home for the builders.
Another possibility is that this corridor was originally a building or secret passage on the ground, but after a long time, the sea has become a mulberry field, and the buildings on the original flat ground have sunk into the ground, become part of the river, and disappear from the sight of the world.
Li Yuan is more inclined to the second conjecture.
After a moment's hesitation, he moved on.
After a while, there was a fork in the road ahead, and the road was split in two, one to the left and one to the right.
There seemed to be no difference between the left and right roads, so he kept an eye on it, made a mark at the fork in the road, and entered the right road.
A short time later, he encountered a third spirit.
This time it was a bucket-sized mussel essence, about the sixth level of Qi refining cultivation, and his temper was a little bad, as soon as he saw Li Yuan, he spit out a pink bubble and hit him.
The bubble contained a sluggish toxin, and was a difficult means for human monks to entangle.
However, it is a pity that the difference in strength between the two is too great, and Li Yuan destroyed the bubble with one palm, and the hard shell of the mussel essence was also shattered.
The mussel spirit is not dead yet. She is quite human, knowing that she is not an opponent, she spit out a few water blue pearls the size of pigeon eggs in a panic and dedicated them to Li Yuan, wanting to exchange treasures for a small life.
Li Yuan didn't have a good impression of the monster, so he ignored it, directly crushed the clam essence with one kick, scooped up the pearl, threw it into the small universe and continued to move forward.
The road is very deep, he has been diving for hundreds of feet, and there is still no end in sight.
After swimming for a while, the road in front of it once again branched out into three branches, leading in different directions.
Li Yuan continued to leave a mark, and his footsteps did not stop.
Several stronger auras appeared in front of them, this time it was three fish spirits, two at the seventh level of qi refining, and one at the eighth level of qi refining.
The three fish monsters were getting together, not knowing what to communicate. Li Yuan's arrival immediately aroused their hostility, and the fishtail flicked and attacked.
For these low-level spirits who didn't even know how to conceive and raise natal magic weapons, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to them at all, and still slapped them with one palm, crushing the three fish monsters.
"There's no end to it......"
After swimming so far and not finding the end, the monsters on the road are getting stronger and stronger, which makes him a little impatient.
However, after killing the three fish monsters, he never encountered any other monsters, except for the forks in the road, trying to mislead him about his whereabouts.
Li Yuan intuitively identified a path and kept moving forward, and after more than a quarter of an hour, an exit appeared in front of him!
"Are you there?" he sped up and swam towards the exit.
Out of the road, the water around him suddenly accelerated, and when he looked around, he realized that he was back at the bottom of the river.
After wandering around for a long time, I actually went the wrong way!
"There must be another way out of this secret passage, do it again!"
Li Yuan did not believe in evil and turned his head and got into the tunnel again.
He's been underwater for a long time, but with his genes, breathing isn't a problem.
Returning to the corridor, he swam in the same direction, paying attention to the changes in the speed and turbidity of the water along the way, according to the marks he had left earlier, slowly groping for passage by passage.
Under his unremitting search, after half an hour, the water flow in the corridor under his feet slowly became smooth and gentle, the water quality changed from turbid to clear, the silt and river sand disappeared, and he saw the bluestone slab underneath.
"This path should be the right one. Li Yuanxin said.
If the water has been turbid and turbulent, it means that his position is still under the Cangyun River, and it has not changed much.
And now, he intuitively felt that he had already left the range of the Cangyun River, and even went deeper than six or seven miles in the direction of the bank, moving underground!
As he climbed up a slope along the stone floor, the water curtain in front of him suddenly disappeared, and his vision suddenly widened.
It's really here this time!
"Wow"
Li Yuan jumped up and jumped from the water onto land.
A faint aura and demonic aura filled the surroundings, and he quickly glanced at it, and found that there was an empty cave in front of him, surrounded by only a few dilapidated statues and a dilapidated stone door.
The statues looked to be some years old, some had missing arms, some had missing heads, some had lost their weapons, and their bodies were covered with dust, and they couldn't see their original appearance clearly.
The situation of the stone gate was not much better, although it was tightly closed, but the central position was blasted open with a two-foot-wide gap, completely losing the meaning of the "door", and a person could walk in.
Li Yuan took a closer look, and there was a line of words engraved on the stone door, and after carefully identifying it, he could recognize it as "Tomb of General Maha".
It's a grave......
The outer corridor and cave are only the perimeter of the tomb, and the inside of the stone gate is the real burial chamber.
The demonic energy and the aura came out of the door, and the door had been blasted through, and I didn't know what it looked like inside.
[Today, the company has a Mid-Autumn Festival cake activity, and I am afraid that I can't code the word at night. There will be a double shift from Friday to Sunday. 】
