Chapter 84 Air Pressure (4K)

"Board."

Jiao Cheng waved his palm, and everyone boarded the three canoes.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Di Wu removed the iron chain tied to the canoe, and let the other two pick up the oars and row, and control the canoe to sail along the walls of the cave.

He took out an open jar from the bottom of the boat, and dipped a brush in the jar.

As the canoe sailed forward, Di Wu used a brush to paint an intermittent dotted line high on the wall.

'This is. Phosphor? '

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, and a dim green light flickered faintly on the walls of the cave that had been painted by the brush.

'There are also fainter fluorescent traces in the cave in front, which proves that Jiao Cheng and others are not here for the first time - they have explored many times in advance and marked the waterway with fluorescent powder.

Since the phosphor can become dull over time, apply multiple times.

In this dark river, no matter the top of the cave or the high wall, there are erosion marks formed by long-term water scouring.

It proves that most of the time, the water level is very high, and now the water level drops, can the canoes pass. '

In fact, as Li Ang expected, the three canoes continued to sail forward, and whenever they encountered a fork in the road, they chose the path according to the fluorescent markers left before.

The shape of the underground river is controlled by geological structures and cracks. The surface season, rainfall, geological collapse and other factors may affect the shape of the underground river, and the topography is extremely complex.

In the same underground aquifer, there are many interconnected dark rivers, either fast or slow, up or down, with countless forks, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable.

In the suppressed space, it seems that only the sound of water is left,

Everyone held torches, breathed dull air, and kept wiping the water droplets that dripped from the top of the cave onto their heads and faces.

I don't know how far I've sailed, but when Di Wu used up the second can of fluorescent powder, he finally saw fire at the turning point of the river ahead.

"arrive."

Di Wu breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the canoe to sail away to the fire.

There is a relatively flat river beach, with seven or eight torches stuck on the river beach, and a dozen or so tattooed men standing on the river beach - they are all wearing hard leather armor, taking into account both defensiveness and mobility.

There was a Pu Dao on his waist, a metal shield in his hand, and a crossbow like Jiao Cheng on his back.

Not like the green-skinned ruffians guarding Pingkangfang, but more like a group of outlaws.

"Jiao Da."

"Jiao Da."

The tattooed men gathered around and helped Jiao Cheng get off the canoe.

Li Ang got off the boat together, and noticed that there were many supplies stacked on the beach.

Claws for climbing high places; kerosene for lighting; steel nails and sledgehammers for digging boulders; hemp ropes, bamboo ladders, compasses
In the distance of the river beach, you can faintly see a cliff and two huge shadows crawling on the ground below the cliff.

That is
'The town tomb beast? '

Li Ang narrowed his eyes and saw two shadows under the cliff. They were two stone tomb beasts with human faces and beasts. They were nearly four meters high. Sharp teeth.

The lower part of the beast's body is covered with sharp thorns, as well as strange and inexplicable diamond-shaped patterns.

"Let's go."

With the help of his subordinates, Jiao Cheng walked to the location of the tomb-suppressing beast. During their conversation, Li Ang also learned the names of the two swordsmen.

Fan Guangyu and Zhu Yuyin.

Everyone carried their packages to the cliff, and as the distance got closer,

Li Ang saw that between the two tomb beasts, there was a tall stone gate open, and behind the stone gate, there was an oblique upward corridor.

In the depths of the corridor, there was a constant whistling of the wind.

The rumbling sound echoed back and forth on the walls of the corridor, like the roar and roar of some kind of beast.

Jiao Cheng and others held torches and crawled up the corridor. When they were halfway up, they stopped collectively and took out a pair of peculiarly shaped breathing masks from the package.

The object consists of a mask, a hose, and a backpack.
The outside of the mask is made of bamboo, and the inside is a layer of glue similar to fish bubbles. The contour of the mask can fit the mouth, and there are ropes at the back that can be fixed to the ears to prevent the mask from falling.

The right side of the mask is connected to a cylindrical stump contained in a metal backpack via a hollow lignified vine.

"This is the fourth-class monster, the banyan tree stump of Zhangdao Ghost Banyan, and the aerial roots that grow from the stump."

With the help of his subordinates, Jiao Cheng put on the backpack and said to Li Ang slowly: "After wearing it, you can breathe underwater for a quarter of an hour.

It is an important tool for the survival of Zhangdao islanders in the endless sea.

It took me [-] to buy these things at the ghost market. "

Breathe underwater?

Li Ang's conjecture became clearer and clearer, especially after noticing that the two sword cultivators were also wearing backpacks.

He took the excess metal backpack from the team that Di Wu handed over, put it on his back, and put on a breathing mask for himself.

The team climbed up the corridor again, and the further they went, the more they could feel the fury of the strong wind.

The air became thinner.

Li Ang subconsciously increased his breathing, followed behind Di Wu and the others, and climbed out of the long and narrow corridor.

This is a spacious underground hall with a circular shape as a whole.

The ground in the center of the hall is flat and tidy, and no gravel can be seen.By the firelight, a bronze stone door could be vaguely seen on the floor in the middle of the hall.

The walls of the hall are full of honeycomb holes with a diameter of more than one meter.
Above each hole, there is a thick hollow metal plate, and the patterns on the metal plate are strangely different.

The strong wind gushes out from those holes, sucking the air in the hall like a vortex, reducing the air pressure in other places.

Among them, some pale white air blades can be vaguely seen.

What should only exist in high places is the wind of heaven and earth.

Gangfeng can not only corrode solid metals, but also weaken the strength of cultivators, so that cultivators, including body refiners, cannot exert their original abilities.

No wonder Jiao Cheng's subordinates suffer from high altitude cerebral edema inexplicably, and no wonder Jiao Cheng's leg injury is so strange.

Li Ang pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes were attracted by the dome of the hall - there were two lines of extremely deep handwriting engraved there.

"The immortal strokes my top and bears longevity.

The bones become hills and mountains, what is the sin of the common people. "

Li Taibai's poems?
Li Ang's heart skipped a beat, but he heard Jiao Cheng say, "How long?"

"In less than half an hour."

Fan Guangyu, one of the sword cultivators, said in a low voice, "These heaven and earth winds are formed by formations and are driven by the hundred-meter waterfall in the underground river.

Once the water flow slows down, the wind will naturally subside. "

"In time."

Jiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It's too late"

Do you have time to open Li Taibai's tomb?
Li Ang's thoughts changed sharply. Li Taibai was a poet of Yuchu. He achieved his ambition at a young age, and his poems were famous all over the world.

Li Taibai, who achieved the ultimate in poetry and swords, began to travel around the world, visiting famous mountains and rivers, making close friends and friends. Along the way, teenagers and young monks continued to follow him, listen to his poems, and learn his sword. Although Li Taibai did not accept it. Any disciple, but no one was rejected.

If things go on like this, Li Taibai will become a poet and sword fairy with a complete life after his death, and even thousands of years later, some people will praise his deeds.

However, at the age of 50, after he returned from traveling in the depths of the [-] barren mountains, he went to Mount Taihao alone with his sword.

No one knows who he saw there or what he did, except that when he came back, he literally went crazy.

He no longer pays attention to anyone, and doesn't talk to anyone, even his former confidants, friends and even family and friends.

He went to Nanzhao, cut down huge trees with flying swords, and built a huge boat. Anyone who tried to interrupt his construction of a boat would be headed by a sword.

Even a cultivator of Zhuxiao Realm could not stop a sword.

After the giant boat was built, he sailed alone to the endless sea.There was no news for 20 years.

It wasn't until 20 years later that news spread around the world that they saw a taciturn, skinny old man with a sword haunting him.The sword tied is Li Taibai's sword.

The forces of all parties moved on hearing the news, trying to find him, but they were always slow. It was rumored that he built an amazing scale of clothes and crowns for himself in the depths of the ground in many places.

And hide the secrets he got in the endless sea, as well as every sword he has ever used, and every sword manual he has written, in a tomb of clothes.

And in the last real tomb, step into the realm above Linyuan realm and become a real immortal.

The tomb of the sword fairy may not exist, or it may really exist - ordinary people may not know the answer for the rest of their lives.

"It's half a quarter of an hour."

Another sword cultivator, Zhu Yuyin, suddenly opened his eyes. Sure enough, the air flow from the hole in the wall weakened a lot.

The heaven and earth qi lingering in the hall has also become extremely dim, as if it will disappear at any time.

"Sun Jiu, Zhang San, you go first."

Jiao Cheng's eyes flickered, he waved his palm, and his voice became cloudy and low due to the blocking of the breathing mask, "Be careful."

Two tattooed men in leather armor walked out of the team. They wrapped iron ropes around their waists, leaned back against each other, bent their bodies, held metal shields in front of them, and quickly rushed to the center of the hall.

clang clang-

Heaven and Earth Gangfeng slashed on the thick metal shield, cutting off a corner of the shield directly.

The two tattooed men lowered their bodies as much as possible and ran a distance of fifty paces. The taller one, accidentally cut off his left arm by the wind, subconsciously covered the wound.

As a result, the shield was deflected, and half of his neck was directly cut off by a gust of wind, and he fell to the ground with blood in an instant.

His death also left the companion who was leaning on his back without cover. The back was instantly torn by the wind, with countless wounds, and the fragments of the leather armor burst open and merged into the howling wind.

Innate Gangfeng revolves around the middle of the hall, no flaws can be seen,

Jiao Cheng's men immediately pulled the iron cable that was close to the ground, and before the iron cable was also cut, they pulled back the surviving Zhang San.

Zhang San's body was bleeding, Jiao Cheng glanced at Li Ang, Li Ang frowned slightly, opened the medicine box, and sutured Zhang San's wound with silver thread - he did not have the ability to endure pain, and kept howling miserably, Make others have to hold his hands and feet and cover his mouth.

"No, no"

Jianxiu Fan Guangyu murmured, "People in the world say that Sword Immortal has gone completely mad after returning from the Endless Sea, but the tomb he built has always left a way of life leading to the tomb.

No matter whether this way of life was set up by him for his descendants or for the heirs of kendo, it must exist.

Innate Gang wind can crush steel and suppress monks.

Apart from solving it from the source of power, that is, the underground underground river waterfall whose location is unknown, there are almost no weaknesses.

There must be a shortcut."

"Is it a formation?"

Another sword cultivator, Zhu Yuyin, said in a low voice, "The formation that can generate the innate astral wind can at least be arranged by cultivators in Zhuxiao Realm and Linyuan Realm.

The metal plates above the holes on the wall have different patterns, and there are as many as 64 kinds in total.It should correspond to 64 hexagrams. "

His eyes flickered, as if he had found a treasure, he muttered to himself: "Kun is the earth, the mine is restored, the earth is in the water, the earth is in the sky"

Zhu Yuyin's words were forcibly interrupted,
The body of Sun Jiu, who had fallen down in the center of the hall, was lifted up by the swirling wind and fell onto a certain square brick.

The square brick sank immediately, and a series of rumbling mechanical sounds also sounded in the walls of the hall.

call!
The astral wind gushing out from the hole in the wall instantly became fierce and violent,
The blasted air blade directly cut a tattooed man who was standing slightly forward into several segments.

The blood that spewed out was swept away by the wind and turned into a blood mist before it landed.

"retreat!"

Jiao Cheng shouted loudly, and was about to retreat towards the Lai Shi Yong Road.
But with a loud bang, inside the entrance of the sloping tunnel, an extremely thick Broken Dragon Stone fell, blocking the escape route.

The back road was blocked, and the turbulent vortex in the hall continued to expand and accelerate.
The gravel on the edge of the hall was continuously swept up by the wind, and the vortex rapidly rotated, hitting everyone like a bullet.
Another man who was too late to raise his shield was hit in the forehead by a high-speed stone, and his head burst to death.

clang clang clang-

The fine pebbles and the astral wind continue to erode the shields that everyone smashed to the ground.
Zhu Yuyin glanced nervously at the wall, the patterns on the hollow metal plates were still muttering to himself, "The five suns are the wind, the six ridges are the water, and the water helps the wind.
I got it, put down the hollow metal plate above the hole! "

He pulled the two of them up from the ground, and asked them to hold their shields, stick to the edge of the cave hall, and walk towards the hole in the mountain wall.

Click!

One of them pinched the edge of the hollow metal plate. There was a chute between the metal plate and the hole below. Pulling hard, the hollow metal plate was successfully pulled down.

The metal plate seems to be hollow, but after being put down, there is a sound of rolling spherical objects behind it.
The airflow from that hole and the adjacent hole next door has also weakened a lot.

Successful.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yuyin's face, and the next second——

boom!
An even more violent wind gushes out from behind the hollow metal plate, instantly smashing the tattooed man beside him into minced flesh.

The wind did not decrease but increased, and Zhu Yuyin and another survivor had to lie on the ground to avoid the strong wind.

what happened?Why did the gang wind become more violent after putting down the metal plate?
Like the others, Li Ang, who was holding a shield to avoid the wind, glanced around and suddenly noticed one thing—all the holes on the mountain wall seemed to be in pairs.

Just now, after Zhu Yuyin asked people to put down the metal plate, the sound of spherical objects rolling was heard behind the hole, and the wind weakened first and then strengthened.

"."

Li Ang took a deep breath, the passageway was blocked, and the Gangfeng vortex was still expanding, and he had to find a way to survive.

He slammed Di Wu's back in front of him and shouted loudly, "Go and lift up that closed metal plate!"

　card, the card point failed.
