Capítulo 1141: Chapter 1141: The Underground Palace Beneath the Lake
Beneath the whirlpool is a passage like a deep well. After it twists and turns countless tis, the water that entered it would be blocked along the way. There is no water at the last few turns, which also consus the lake water, cutting off the water entering the Underground Palace.
Everyone slid into it as if on a slide. Except for their butts suffering a bit, there was no other discomfort.
There was actually air underground, which surprised Shen Cang a little. Looking around, he discovered that the design here was very ingenious, not completely sealed off, with places for ventilation.
Most underground tombs are sealed tight, which causes many artifacts to decay rapidly upon contact with the outside air.
The presence of air here also ans that the items in here could have a certain collectible value.
Their feet stepped on sowhat loose soil, feeling as though it had rained last night, and today the extrely damp mud had turned swamp-like.
Shen Cang took out the Map. Not far away was a real swamp. Careless steps into it would cause one to sink into it.
After bypassing the swamp, the road ahead descended into darkness.
Shen Cang turned on his flashlight.
They had brought enough equipnt before coming. At this mont, all 27 people turned on their flashlights, instantly illuminating the way forward.
Darkness exacerbates the fear of the unknown. Once aware of the dangers ahead and illuminated, fear ceases in their hearts.
The main reason was the presence of Shen Cang, which gave everyone a significant sense of security.
It was Chen Zi’s first mission. He actually considered himself still a newcor who needed more training. He felt he shouldn’t be executing missions yet, but Mo Haihao told him that the three-month period had long been over. As a mber, he should get out and gain experience.
Chen Zi counted on his fingers and cried inwardly: It really ca!
He just wanted to be an ordinary mortal.
But this wish… is a bit difficult.
Since he was here, he must make the best of it. He lowered his head and looked at the small hand holding tightly to his, feeling sowhat relieved. Even Little Taotie wasn’t afraid; what did he, a grown man, have to fear? Not afraid!
After passing the swamp trap, the Map indicated that the next challenge was the hidden arrows on the walls.
Hidden arrows are hard to guard against; the only option is not to trigger them.
Shen Cang repeatedly warned them not to touch the walls.
But the passage was narrow, and for anyone slightly large, it was only possible to move sideways. In these circumstances, it was very hard not to bump into sothing.
“Whoosh!”
The hidden arrow shot out!
“Get down!” Shen Cang shouted sternly.
The big guy whose shoulder accidentally bumped into the wall suddenly threw himself to the ground, trying to minimize his presence, but when lying down, he accidentally touched the wall again, and there was another “whoosh”!
Two hidden arrows shot out, still attacking indiscriminately. They would only stop if they hit sothing; otherwise, they’d keep ricocheting in the passageway!
Shen Cang quickly ford a Seal with his hands, and two Talismans shot out from his fingertips.
The Talismans were like two hidden arrows, but their speed couldn’t match the hidden arrows. After much chasing, the speed of the hidden arrows slowed down, and the Talismans barely caught up.
The hidden arrows pierced through the Talismans, pausing montarily.
Having hit sothing, they completed their task and fell to the ground.
The hidden arrows, which had seed to emit a dark glow and were quite sharp, crumbled and fell into decay upon landing.
Shen Cang exhaled and gave the big guy a stern look.
The big guy felt wronged, “I… I’ll just stay here. I can’t proceed any further.”
The passage ahead appeared increasingly narrow, and his strong deltoids made it hard not to touch the walls.
Shen Cang withdrew his gaze, his nasal sound implying, “Mhm.”
This was considered as approval for him to stay and wait.
The big guy sat limp on the ground, relieved, not daring to move for fear of triggering another hidden arrow.
