Chapter 914: Swimming into the city
The walls of Shadowland have been built by generations of ShadowClan people and have a long history, so their height and thickness are also very impressive. From Wang Luochen's point of view, its height and majesty are not inferior to the Great Wall.
On top of such walls, the ShadowClan built several gates, all heavily guarded. Without a proper identity, it is very difficult to get in from there. Therefore, if they wanted to enter the city, they had to find another way.
And this path is the only waterway in Shadow City other than the city gate, the exit of the Shadow River.
This passage is a stone tunnel about eight meters in diameter, buried deep under the city walls, and the exit is 500 meters outside the Shadow City. In other words, if someone wants to sneak into Shadowcity through this passage, they must have the ability to sneak through the passage against the rushing current.
Five hundred meters of dark passage, swimming to the end in one breath, this is something that ordinary people can't do at all. What's more, these 500 meters are still going against the current.
In addition to this, at the entrance to the waterway located within Shadowcity, there is also an underwater defense system.
Just in case someone sneaks into the city from there, the ShadowClan planted not only spiked thistles, but also some crossbows that can be fired underwater. If someone triggers them, they will be shot into an iron hedgehog.
However, in Wang Luochen's opinion, these are dead things, and they cannot hinder their actions. Therefore, after hearing Haruko Ninki talk about this waterway, he immediately chose this place as a shortcut for them to enter the city.
This is because he and Zhuo Buqun have reached the level of Martial Saint in combat strength, and they can already achieve the level of holding their breath and calming down. In other words, they can not breathe at all for a long time. Therefore, diving 500 meters in the water is simply not a trivial matter for them.
As for those mechanisms, with their Yuan Force, they can completely condense a protective shield to block them out, or even destroy them.
The only thing to consider is how to bring Haruko Ningki in while they infiltrate.
For this question, Wang Luochen really thought about it.
Eventually, he came up with a solution. It is to use the star array to arrange a space around her that can isolate water, and use the yuan force to compress a part of the air into this space.
This would allow Haruko to move forward without paddling at all, and it would also ensure that she would not be attacked by those defensive weapons, and that she would have enough oxygen to hold up until he and Zhuo Buqun broke those traps and took her out of the Shadow River passage.
After making up his mind, Wang Luochen began to prepare. He asked Haruko Ninki to stand by the water, and then with a flick of his fingers, he arranged a star array around her.
As soon as the star array formed, it completely enveloped Haruko Ninki, so that she did not have any contact with the surrounding space for the time being.
It's like a closed jar that isolates her. Therefore, the air inside is not circulated. If it doesn't circulate, the oxygen in the air will soon be consumed by her, and then she will not be able to stand it.
In order to prevent her from being deprived of oxygen, Wang Luochen deliberately used Yuan Force to compress a part of the air into this space. In this way, the air in this space is much thicker than outside. The amount was enough to support Haruko Ninki's breathing for the next half hour.
After arranging all this, Wang Luochen nodded to Zhuo Buqun and said, "Uncle Shi, it's all done, let's go into the water." ”
"Okay, let our master and apprentice break into this Longtan tiger's den. Ha ha. Zhuo Buqun smiled heartily, split the water surface with Yuan Li, and dived into the water.
After that, Wang Luochen controlled the star array with his divine sense, and at the same time dived into the water.
He controlled the star array with his divine sense, which was equivalent to dragging Haruko Ningmu forward with an invisible rope, which was very consuming of divine sense. Therefore, he must not be slow in his actions later.
In other words, he had to spend as little time as possible in the process of passing under the walls of Shadowcity through the passage to the entrance of the passage inside Shadowcity.
Therefore, after he entered the water, he opened the way in front of him with Yuan Li and swam forward quickly like a fish.
Because of the Yuan Force to open the way, he received much less resistance in the water. Therefore, his "fish" still swims very fast. It only took about five minutes to swim to the entrance of the Shadow River.
If you are an ordinary person, passing through such a place, it is easy to be stabbed by the spikes on these thistles because you can't control your body posture well due to the action of the water.
However, Wang Luochen is not an ordinary person. Because they all have Yuan Force Protectors, the impact of the water flow on them is almost equal to zero. Their bodies are not affected by the current at all in the water, so to speak, they can swim wherever they want, and their shuttle through these spikes is not hindered at all.
So they quickly swam through the middle of the thistle.
Next, they arrived at the area where the underwater crossbow was arranged.
Underwater crossbows are used to unleash cold arrows at malicious infiltrators, so they are all hidden. If ordinary people get here, if they are not careful, they may be injured by the arrows they shoot.
But both Wang Luochen and Zhuo Buqun possess strong divine senses, and even when they are underwater, they are able to probe the surrounding situation in detail. As a result, neither the hidden location of the underwater crossbows nor the dark lines that triggered their attacks escaped their perception.
Now that they had sensed their location, Wang Luochen and Zhuo Buqun would naturally not be stupid enough to crash into them. As a result, when they passed through the area, a crossbow trap was not triggered.
Watching the two of them pass through the densely packed waters as if they were walking in their own yard, Haruko Ninki, who was isolated in the star array, couldn't help but admire the two of them.
Wang Luochen and Zhuo Buqun didn't have time to pay attention to what she was thinking, and after leaving the area where the underwater bows and crossbows were arranged, they went straight to the entrance of the passage.
There were no more mechanisms, but there was a huge iron grate. This grate blocks the entrance to the passage, making it impossible to pass through the entrance freely.
In front of it, Wang Luochen and Zhuo Buqun glanced at each other, and then joined forces to shoot a yuan force towards a point on the iron grate.
These two Yuan forces cut it off like a cutting machine.
See that his attack worked. Then, the two of them launched a series of attacks on other parts of the grate.
Soon, they opened a gap in the grate.
The gap was two meters square, enough for the three of them to get through. They swam through the gap after the gap had been made.
After passing the iron grate, you will be counted out of the passage.
And out of the passage, they have already entered the Shadow City.
Now that they were in the city, they naturally acted more cautiously. Therefore, before they surfaced, they first checked the surface of the water with their divine senses to make sure that there were no enemy patrols above the surface and on both sides of the river.
