When Shen Yan thought she was going to be here, the force that carried her suddenly pulled her out of the water. Fresh air suddenly rushed to her face, making her subconsciously take a big breath.

"Miss Shen, are you okay?"

Jinxiu's voice came, and Shen Yan looked up with some surprise: "Young City Lord, it was you just ......"

"It's me. Jinxiu nodded, twisted the hem of his clothes that was still dripping and asked, "Is your spiritual power still functioning normally?"

When Shen Yan heard this, he tried to run the exercise again, but the blockage of spiritual power still existed. So he shook his head.

Jinxiu said: "There seems to be something here blocking the operation of spiritual power. By the way, Miss Shen, have you seen where the owner of the Red Mansion is?"

Shen Yan shook his head again and said, "Fang Cai fell into the water too quickly, not to see Hong Gongzi." ”

Jinxiu smoothed the wrinkled hem of her wrinkled clothes, turned to look at the place where she was now, and said, "I don't know what the situation of the Red Mansion Lord is now." ”

As he spoke, there was movement on the surface of the water. But it was the red peony that came out of the water.

"Red Boy?" Shen Yan was overjoyed, and was about to step forward to pull him, when Jinxiu, who was closer, reached out and pulled the person up from the water.

Under normal circumstances, the red peony doesn't need help from others, but at this moment, its spiritual power is blocked, and it consumes too much physical strength in the water, so it is already a blessing to be able to successfully swim out of the water. When Jinxiu stretched out his hand, he did not refuse.

When sitting on the shore, Red Peony didn't care about the image at the moment, and while twisting the water on the hem of his clothes, he said to Jinxiu and the others: "I found this underwater." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and in his palm was something in the shape of a ring. The ring is engraved with some peculiar patterns, like words, and like some kind of sign.

Shen Yan looked at it for a long time and said, "I seem to have seen this somewhere." ”

Jinxiu took the ring in his hand, and when he heard this, he looked sideways and said, "Please also ask Miss Shen to carefully discuss where she has seen this thing." He said this, groping for the ring in his hand. The rings are made of different silver than they are today, and it is impossible to tell what they are made of. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Shen Yan frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "It's in that illusion." ”

Red Peony and Jinxiu both looked at it, and the two of them naturally knew that the illusion that Shen Yan was talking about was the illusion when they saw the goddess Mingyue before meeting them.

"It seems that whether we can get out of here or not, it really has a great relationship with the Bright Moon Goddess. I don't know if it's an illusion, Shen Yan always felt that Jinxiu not only didn't feel a little nervous when she said this, but was a little more relaxed.

Looking at the ring again, Shen Yan patted his head and said, "This thing seems to be the key." At that time, the illusion changed too quickly, but she also vaguely saw Huaiyu use this to open the door of a secret room. But what is the purpose of being here at this moment?

On the one hand, he was puzzled in his heart, but on the other hand, Shen Yan was paying attention to the current environment.

They now seemed to be in a huge karst cave, surrounded by water on three sides, with the walls behind them, covered with stalactites of all kinds, but there was no road for people to pass.

After listening to Shen Yan's words, Jinxiu twisted his eyebrows slightly and said, "Since this ring is the key and was found underwater, could it be that the passage is also underwater?"

Red Peony said: "It shouldn't be underwater." The water is unfathomable, and if it were really underwater, it would not be possible to reach it in our current state. ”

Jinxiu fell silent. He also saw clearly under the water just now, it was indeed the same as what Red Peony said, the water in front of him was bottomless, and he only took it and held his breath to the extreme, and he couldn't see where the bottom was, if the passage to go out was really underwater, maybe the three of them could only be trapped here with Meng Fuyao, who was included in the magic weapon.

What he can think of, Red Peony and Shen Yan can also think of.

As they sat on the ground to regain their strength, the three of them seemed silent.

After a while, Shen Yan got up and went to the cave wall behind him to inspect inch by inch. Maybe it was because she guessed what she wanted to do, but Red Peony and Jinxiu didn't look at it, but chose to go forward and do the same thing together.

After this careful investigation, they really found a place that seemed to fit into the ring.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Jinxiu stepped forward with the ring and slipped into the depression that he couldn't see until he looked closely.

As soon as the ring was put up, it seemed to be attracted by some invisible force, and it suddenly hung over the hollow place. There was an imperceptible silver glow on the engravings that I didn't know if they were words or some kind of sign.

"It's moving,......" Shen Yan said before he saw that the ring suddenly fit into the depression below, rotating counterclockwise.

As the ring rotated, there was a click of a mechanism in the dark, which was originally very subtle, but as the ring rotated faster and faster, the sound became extremely clear and rapid.

Shen Yan was quickly pulled by Jinxiu, and after she left the original place to stand firmly along this force, she found that the place where she was standing seemed to have been split in half by some sharp weapon, revealing a narrow stone staircase that could only be passed by a thin person, and it was hidden in the deepest darkness.

"Let's go down and have a look. Jinxiu said, and stepped into the stone steps first.

Then, Shen Yan also walked in. The red peony is the one who walks in the rear.

This secret passage is very deep, and at first it goes straight down, but as you walk, it turns upward. Fortunately, the three of them are not fat, except for the red peony who is taller and needs to bend over slightly, Shen Yan and Jinxiu have no worries at all.

After walking for more than an hour, the passage that had been cramped in front of me began to widen, and after a quarter of an hour or so, the front of me suddenly became clearer.

When they entered the secret passage, the three of them knew that this secret passage would not always be smooth sailing, so no one was surprised when they encountered the first barrier.

In front of you is a cliff, and the karst flowing under the cliff exudes endless heat. On the other side, there is the only exit from the road.

Jinxiu raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said, "No wonder the more you walk this way, the hotter you feel, is this the case?"

Red Peony didn't sweat much, and at this moment he took a few steps forward and looked at the high platform opposite and said, "You have to find a way to cross this karst to the opposite side." ”

That being said, there is really no feasible way for them to successfully get to the other side for a while. Because there is nothing around them, and there is nothing to draw on. All three of them are still in a state of spiritual power blockage, if not, wouldn't it be the most trouble-saving and effort-saving to go directly to the sword?

"I'm curious as to why this is the place here. Red Peony spoke again, and there was really a bit of doubt between her eyebrows.

Shen Yan pursed his lips slightly, and then nodded: "This place seems to be testing the people who come...... I just don't know what will happen if I pass these tests?" her instincts told her that they would encounter more than just the difficulties in front of them on this road. Later, there may be more and more difficult things waiting for them.

But why?

If someone who wants to come dies here, they don't need to think so much about it. But if it is to test the comer, then why are these obstacles erected?

Jinxiu straightened his clothes and said, "We have no way to retreat now, we can only move forward." ”

As he spoke, the passage behind him fell boulders in an instant, blocking the way out.

"But how can we get over these karsts to the other side?" Shen Yan asked, and at the same time, he actually had such a thought in his heart, and there was not much surprise that the retreat behind him was blocked.

And the red peony is even more calm, his fiery red clothes and the blazing karst under this high cliff reflect each other, and the cold meaning of the whole person seems to have melted a lot at this time.

Jinxiu pondered for a while and said, "Since it is a test, it will not provide nothing after we are blocked from spiritual power. Let's separate and find out if there is any mechanism that is best. ”

His words won the silent approval of Shen Yan and the others, and they dispersed, once again groping carefully for every inch of land they could reach.

It is said that they are looking for it separately, but in fact, the place where they can move is not large, only a three-foot square platform. At this point, you have to be careful not to slack off and fall into the hot karst below.

The three of them searched for a long time but did not find any clues, and for a moment they seemed to be in a desperate situation.

Shen Yan didn't give up looking back and forth in the area he was responsible for for a long time, and even lay on the ground for fear that he would miss it.

"Be careful—" Jinxiu suddenly spoke, stretched out her hand and directly carried back Shen Yan, who had inadvertently reached the edge. "Miss Shen, it's better to pay more attention. ”

Shen Yan was taken aback, thanked him with some trepidation, and continued: "I seem to have seen something down here. ”

She said, gesturing to the bottom of the slab near the edge.

The platform beneath their feet is not vertical, but is recessed inward in the lower side.

When Jinxiu heard her say this, she squatted down and reached out to touch it. Sure enough, he touched something, and said, "It seems to be a mechanism." The tentacles didn't feel like stones, so he carefully stroked what he touched, and then gently rotated it to the right.

When the ground shook, it was still the red peony who was quick in his hands, so he didn't ask Jinxiu to fall directly. Then they saw a high stone platform rising from the karst below.

The pillars that support the stone platform are so thin that one wonders if they can withstand the weight of a person.

Jinxiu smiled and said, "If this is a person, I'm afraid that even if I touch the carelessness of the mechanism, I will have to fall." ”

Red Peony didn't speak, but Shen Yan looked at the stone platforms and asked, "Are we going to step on this past now?"

"I can only step on this and pass. But....... The pillars under the stone platform are too thin to withstand the three of them. It's better to move faster. Miss Shen, please go first. ”

Shen Yan was slightly surprised, everyone knew that the first person to leave in such a situation would have a great advantage.

Red Peony didn't speak, but nodded slightly when Shen Yan looked over.

Seeing this, Shen Yan had no choice but to say hello, took a few steps back and ran out, jumping smoothly onto the first stone platform with such help, and then took advantage of the remaining momentum to continue thinking about the next stone platform and stepped over.

As they had guessed, the stone platform began to crumble after Shen Yan walked by, and the pillars below were falling off.

Jinxiu sighed and said, "It seems that we have to go faster." ”

After speaking, he didn't discuss with the red peony and took a few steps back and stepped on the first stone platform.

When Jinxiu stepped on it, the pillar under the stone platform had broken off and fell downward. The red peony stepped on it and accelerated the speed of falling.

Jinxiu stood on the second stone platform, threw out a golden string in his sleeve, wrapped it around the body of the red peony, and threw him directly onto the third stone platform.

After the red peony stood firm, she took the golden rope and shook it, wrapped it around Jinxiu's waist, and then threw him onto the stone platform in front of her. The two cooperated with each other in this way, and finally arrived at the opposite side comfortingly. Although there is a slight fork in the last stone platform, it can be regarded as a thrill.

Shen Yan, who had already arrived, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After the last steady landing of Jinxiu, those stone platforms have completely sunk into the blazing karst.

"Keep going. Without looking at the situation behind him, Jinxiu put the golden rope he had just taken out back into his sleeve, and was still the first to step into the passage in front.

If the place where the karst is located is unbearably hot, the next place that the three of them enter is extremely cold.

As far as the eye could see, there was snow, and the sky was still falling with snow.

Shen Yan couldn't help but shiver, and the whole person shivered coldly.

Jinxiu and red peony are not much better. As we all know, when a practitioner reaches a certain realm, he can avoid eating and cold and heat. And the two of them have already reached this realm, and they have always been very thin and not in the way, but in the current environment, it is a big problem.

"It's snowing in the middle of nowhere, and it's not like there's only one road. What should we do now?" Shen Yan asked the two people beside him while rubbing his hands.

It was originally a small question, but now no one can answer it. The previous place could survive if you endured it, but now I'm afraid that everyone will freeze to death if you stay here for a long time.

Red Peony could only say: "First choose a random place, find a place to escape the cold and then make plans." ”

It's a stopgap measure, but it's the best way to do it until there's no better way.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
