Chapter 30: Piranhas, 9-story demon building

Chapter 30: Piranhas, Nine-story Demon Tower
Xu Feng stared at the Demonic Snow Lotus in his hand in amazement, and could hardly believe his eyes.

He never imagined that the Demonic Country Snow Lotus could be split?

A demon country snow lotus can actually be separated into fruit, stamens, and petals? !

"Is it the same as that black dragon?!"

"When the black dragon was alive, its attributes could not be seen. After it died, its blood, flesh, bones, skin, heart and inner core began to show its attributes."

"This Demon Country Snow Lotus will only show the properties of its various parts after it is killed."

At this time, the fat man sat down next to him.

With a smile on his face, he came closer and asked, "Master Xu, is this another good thing?!"

Xu Feng looked at him and nodded.

The fat man's eyes suddenly lit up: "What good stuff? Tell me about it."

Xu Feng thought about it and decided to tell Lao Hu and Fatty.

They already knew about the existence of the divine object.

I also know that there are legendary magical objects that can prolong life.

If I hide it from them, if they find out later, it will create a rift between them.

After spending some time together, he felt that Lao Hu and Fatty were trustworthy partners.

He believed that Lao Hu and Fatty thought the same.

So now he has to gradually deepen this trust and make them the new iron triangle, just like Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang, an iron triangle that can share life and death and share the same destiny.

Thinking of this, he whispered, "Call Lao Hu over."

The fat man immediately got up and went to find Lao Hu.

Lao Hu is checking the underground river.

The fat man pulled me over mysteriously, completely confused.

Xu Feng glanced at the others, they were all resting.

Then the three of them put their heads together.

"I found a rare and divine object!"

The fat man covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing: "What baby?!"

When Old Hu heard that a rare and magical object had been found, he immediately became interested.

Xu Feng showed the Demonic Snow Lotus in his arms.

"This Demonic Snow Lotus is a magical object that can prolong life!"

Lao Hu's eyes dulled for a moment.

The fat man couldn't help but stand up, his eyes wide open: "What?!"

His reaction immediately attracted the attention of Professor Chen and others.

The fat man soon realized that he had overreacted.

His eyes rolled and he immediately said, "We have to wade through an underground river?! Are you kidding me? This is the Kunlun Glacier. Won't we freeze to death if we go into the water?!"

Fortunately, Lao Hu and Fatty have known each other for many years.

The two of them had a tacit understanding that was different from that of ordinary people, and they immediately responded, "The cave we came from has collapsed. If we don't go through this underground river, how can you tell me how to get there?!"

The fat man said fiercely: "Anyway, I won't go into the water. Who knows if there are any strange things in the water."

Xu Feng knew it was his turn to perform.

"Okay, let's just be careful before we go into the water later."

The fat man then squatted down again reluctantly.

But his face, with his back to Professor Chen and the others, was filled with a smile that was so excited that it was almost twisted.

Xu Feng glared at him.

Let him tone it down.

Old Hu also glared at him.

But the fat man still couldn't stop smiling.

Shirley Yang was sitting next to Professor Chen. She was originally discussing the next route with Professor Chen. When she saw the three people huddled together and whispering, suspicion flashed in her eyes.

After the fat man calmed down a little, Xu Feng said helplessly: "In fact, the unofficial history I read recorded the miraculous effect of the Demon Country Snow Lotus. It is a magical flower cultivated by the Demon Country and has incredible magical effects. Its stamens can prolong a person's life for about three to five years, depending on the person. The effect is best when taken for the first time. If taken multiple times, the effect will decrease."

"As for its petals, applying them on the skin also has the magical effect of maintaining eternal youth."

After much thought, he decided to hide the snow lotus fruit.

Mainly because there is only one.

It’s not easy to divide.

Where is the story of killing three men with two peaches?

No matter how you divide it, it will give the other two people some ideas.

The less trouble, the better.

No one knew about it anyway, so he might as well collect the fruits first and make plans later.

What's more, just these two things have made Lao Hu and Fatty crazy with joy.

Xu Feng asked the fat man to take out the prepared box from his backpack.

This was specially prepared by Xu Feng before he went out, in case he encountered some rare treasures but had no container to put them in.

Finally, the Demonic Snow Lotus was dismembered.

Xu Feng seemed to hear a voice in his ear:

[Ding, get 18 stamens and 9 petals]

Finally, the box was put into the fat man’s backpack.

"You must carry your things carefully, and don't drop them."

The fat man pounded his chest and said, "Don't worry, even if I lose my life, I won't lose my backpack."

Shirley Yang came over at this time, looked at the three people suspiciously, and then said to Xu Feng: "What do you think of the next route?"

Xu Feng calmed his mind.

Then walk to the underground river and observe the water.

This underground river is not very wide, about four or five meters.

But it's deep.

He remembered that in the original plot, Hu Bayi and his group also crossed an underground river and then reached the Nine-story Demon Tower.

If he remembered correctly.

Hiding in the river is a prehistoric giant salamander.

I don’t know whether that river is connected to this river.

However, this place is only three kilometers away from the glacier crack, so it is difficult to tell whether it is a river.

If it is connected, there must be danger in the underground river.

"Ok?"

"There are fish in the water?!"

Xu Feng suddenly saw some movement under the water.

Lao Hu said nearby: "I just discovered that there are indeed fish, but the water is very deep and I can't see clearly what kind of fish it is."

Xu Feng remembered that it was written in the novel that there was a kind of fish that lived in the underground river. It was very big and edible, but the taste was not very good.

I don’t know if this will change.

He looked across the underground river again.

There is a cave there.

I don't know where it leads to. Xu Feng thought about it and realized that there was no way out, so he could only cross the river and find another way out.

"Let's cross the river!"

He said.

Shirley Yang pointed at the underground river and said, "The river is so deep, how can we get across? Is there any danger in the water?"

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Just give it a try and you'll know."

He pulled out his small sword and cut his finger.

Then squeeze out a few drops of blood.

Drop into water.

Wait a few seconds.

Suddenly, the fish at the bottom of the water rushed towards the surface as if they were crazy.

They all rushed to the place where blood had just been dripping.

It was as if fish food had been placed in the nest, and countless fish were flapping and tumbling there.

Wait until Shirley Yang sees the appearance of the fish clearly.

He immediately took a breath of cold air.

"It's a piranha!"

Xu Feng and the other two's expressions instantly became solemn.

Xu Feng never expected that the fish under the water were actually piranhas.

Isn’t this fish in the novel harmless and edible?

asshole!

He was almost ready to go into the water just now.

Fortunately, he tried.

Otherwise, after entering the water, he would be eaten by these piranhas until not even a bone would be left in a few seconds.

"what to do?!"

Shirley Yang looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

Xu Feng looked at the ferocious-looking piranhas at the bottom of the water.

"You definitely can't go into the water."

"I'll think of another way."

He stood by the river, looking at the water with a frown.

Suddenly, he asked, "Old Hu, how many meters can you jump in the sprint long jump?"

Lao Hu was stunned: "During training, it's basically about eight meters."

Xu Feng: "What if it's here?"

Lao Hu was very smart and reacted immediately: "You mean, jump over?"

Xu Feng nodded.

Old Hu looked at the environment on both sides of the underground river, and then stepped on the gravel on the ground.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "This river is about five meters wide, but the soil on both sides of the river bank is very soft. Considering the piranhas under the water, the distance must be widened to at least six meters."

"The ground here is uneven, and the runway for acceleration is not long enough. If I try my best, I should be able to get through."

Well, since you can get over there, I should be able to do it too. I’ll jump.”

Xu Feng smiled.

Old Hu was startled: "Master Xu, let me do it."

"Okay, don't fight with me for this. My physical fitness is better than yours, and it's safer."

Old Hu thought about it and didn't argue anymore.

He untied the rope, tied one end around Xu Feng's waist and held the other end in his hand.

Xu Feng retreated to the cave entrance as far as possible, took a deep breath, and then looked at the river bank opposite.

Suddenly, he rushed forward.

When he reached the river bank, he kicked hard with his right foot.

The whole person flew to the other side.

Then land safely.

Old Hu and Fatty immediately felt relieved.

Next, the rope bridge.

Taking into account the physical strength of Professor Chen and his colleagues, Xu Feng tied the rope lower.

Then Lao Hu climbed to a high ground and tied the rope there.

This forms a zipline on both sides.

All people need to do is hang themselves on the rope bridge and slide over easily.

soon.

Everyone arrived at this side of the underground river.

Xu Feng took the lead and entered the cave.

This time we didn't encounter any unexpected problems. We just walked in the winding and rugged cave for more than half an hour.

Then suddenly everything in front of me became clear.

They arrived at a strange space.

A huge cave.

In the center of the cave is a "gold"-shaped wooden tower made of thousands of huge logs. Countless blue lights are dotted on the tower. With the help of those faint blue lights, you can see that the base of the wooden tower is nearly 200 meters wide and is made entirely of rammed earth and stones.

The tower is constructed of thousand-year-old cypress wood and has a total of nine floors.

Each layer is filled with dried skeletons of men, women, young and old, dressed in strange ancient costumes.

In addition, each large log is engraved with mysterious patterns.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Xu Feng was shocked by the scene before him.

No matter how exaggerated the descriptions in the novels or how fantastical the settings in the TV dramas are, they are nothing compared to what is before our eyes.

It is simply a work of art.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect to see such a spectacular building underground!"

Chu Jian couldn't contain his excitement and said excitedly.

Xu Feng immediately turned around and made a hushing gesture to him.

No one knew what he meant.

But given Xu Feng’s previous performance, everyone shut their mouths involuntarily.

Xu Feng signaled everyone to step back.

Exit this cave.

Professor Chen became anxious and said he wanted to go forward and observe it closely.

Xu Feng immediately glared at him.

Shirley Yang immediately supported Professor Chen and stepped back.

Xu Feng turned his head.

Seeing that the blue lights were not alarmed, they also retreated.
