All in all, it was a misunderstanding of not too small a degree.
Saint Finan and Feng Liuskashu had different experiences. After the three of them got lost at the corner, Saint Finan has been alone ever since.
I have never encountered a disguised scaly monster.
So he had been thinking that it was the work of the ruins' mechanism that separated the three people unknowingly and isolated them.
Sheng Feinan was on guard all the way, but he didn't encounter any danger, but he got lost when the passage changed. After wandering around for a long time, he found the direction again and met two people here.
Unexpectedly, Kaxiu suddenly attacked and punched with almost all his strength.
He was originally good at sword and whip techniques, and his strength and speed were no match for Kaxiu, and he was in a hurry to block. That's why he didn't take a single punch, which led to a deeper misunderstanding later.
Fortunately, Sheng Feinan was not seriously injured. He just missed the first punch and hit his chest, causing some internal injuries.
Kaxiu used his life vibration energy to recover from the minor injuries. While healing, the three of them also exchanged their experiences in the past half an hour. Kaxiu was undoubtedly the most experienced. At least four or five groups of scale monsters pretended to be illusions to deceive him, and they could even adjust according to the situation.
Rather than being unchanging, it seems like wisdom.
Previously, the few people encountered alien beasts driven by instinct along the way, but now there seems to be some changes.
The three of them became more alert.
It is only the last section of the way to the entrance to the fourth floor, and during this period of time, there have been no hallucinations or dangers.
Kaxiu and his companions soon found their target, which was an underground cave similar to a botanical garden. The top was a patch of jagged rocks and moist mosses in the crevices. Below was a large patch of lush vine-like plants.
Large heart-shaped leaves clustered together, densely covering the ground, with yellow-green weeds growing in the gaps.
It was quite humid here, and there was a sultry heat, just like summer. The air was filled with a strange mixture of rotting roots and the fragrance of leaves. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't pleasant either. Kaxiu took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
"There are certain toxins in the air, but they are quite weak and can only affect ordinary people. The thorns on the leaves of the vines on the ground may also contain toxins, so be a little careful..."
He reminded. The magic-transformed lungs can not only filter toxins and impurities, but also serve as air quality detectors.
"It's better to be careful. We just need to hold our breath."
Feng Liusi glanced at Sheng Feinan, and the two immediately entered a state of tortoise breathing, and the rise and fall of their chests quickly slowed down. At the inhuman level of a fighter, they could easily hold their breath for more than ten minutes at a time and still maintain normal body movements.
But if it is a fierce battle.
This time will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Walk."
Sheng Feinan gestured to Kaxiu and nodded.
"etc."
Kaxiu raised his hand, and suddenly grabbed the wall of the cave next to him with one claw, digging out a large piece of stone like a shovel.
He weighed it two or three times, then shook it and threw it away.
The stone accelerated in the air and hit the ground of the cave covered with plant roots with a whoosh, making a low muffled sound.
A few more stones flew over quickly, smashing the layers of green leaves, and black and yellow soil burst out from underneath.
"There shouldn't be any traps, and it's not empty underneath." Kaxiu nodded slightly, and then said to the two people behind him: "Let's go..."
The group entered the botanical garden, which was about the size of several football fields, and walked through a path among the green leaves.
Keep going forward until you reach the middle.
The roots of the plants on the ground suddenly began to wriggle strangely like snakes, moving quickly one by one, flashing deep green light in the air. These vines rotated around the location of Kaxiu and the other two, forming a spiral cone. Inside, poisonous spikes grew out.
It is as long as a finger, with a purple-red tint at the end.
The cone contracts and then squeezes inward quickly.
Shining!
A spiral sword with black flames burning on its surface slashed out, and the sword light suddenly spread out over a distance of more than ten meters.
Cut off the dense vine roots and the juice splashes.
Shin! Shin! Shin! Shin!
On the surface of a cone the size of a house, four sword lights shot out from the inside to the outside, instantly tearing the fragile cage apart.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Three figures calmly leaped out from the fire.
One of them held a sword with a broad blade that was an astonishing 1.8 meters long. On the blade was a flickering black flame outline that rippled slightly and spun at high speed like a chainsaw.
Every time the man swung the giant cross sword, a condensed sword light would cut through the air, tearing and cutting the surrounding plants.
The roots of the vines, which were originally quite tough, were like tofu in front of the sword, breaking at the touch, and had no effect of blocking the siege. The three of them easily left the cave.
All that was left was a mess.
At the end of the cave was a dark cave. Kaxiu and the others walked in without hesitation and ran in the darkness.
The footsteps gradually faded away, while the sound of flowing water came closer.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The crisp sound of water reached Kaxiu's ears, and there was a damp smell in the air. There should be an underground river ahead.
The three of them quickened their pace and suddenly stopped after turning a few corners.
A stone at the end of the exit was pushed down by the tip of the shoe.
With a splash, he fell into the underground river that was flowing endlessly downwards, and the splashing water did not cause the slightest ripple.
Kaxiu looked to the left and right and saw a rock tunnel eroded by an underground river, with a diameter of about ten meters.
The river rushed from left to right, rapidly and powerfully.
"According to the map, this is a river that runs through the lower three levels of the ruins. We can reach the fourth level by following the river downstream." Sheng Feinan said after taking a look at the map.
"No, skip the fourth floor and go directly to the fifth floor."
Kaxiu's eyes flickered.
"Go directly to the fifth floor? However, the location of the fifth floor connected by the underground river is the most dangerous area marked on the map."
Saint Finan frowned slightly.
"I know, but there are something more dangerous chasing us from behind. Did you hear me?" Kaxiu suddenly put his left ear against the cold cave wall and looked at Sheng Feinan and the other person.
Feng Liusi also immediately moved closer to sense the movement.
"Sizzle...sizzle..."
The sound of electricity? No, it was the sound of friction. It was the sound of insect limbs rubbing against the rock wall. The scarab beetles were following!
They are the white torrent sweeping across the ruins of Aqaba!
As a cleaner, regularly wipe out all abnormalities.
The faces of the three men all changed. They thought that they had wasted too much time on the third floor and were eventually caught up.
If you enter the fourth floor step by step, there will be various traps and alien species in front of you, and even more perverted insect swarms behind you!
Even though Kashu and the other two are strong fighters, they would probably die in danger again and again.
So just skip the fourth floor and go to the fifth floor.
With the entire fourth floor as a barrier, Kaxiu and the other two no longer had to worry about the terrifying insect swarm chasing them, and could concentrate on dealing with the dangers of the fifth floor. Although the area leading into the fifth floor from the underground river was marked as the most dangerous on the map, the three still felt that the scarab swarm was more dangerous!
"Never mind, hurry up and get there."
Kaxiu reminded.
Immediately, the three of them jumped from the exit and leaped onto the opposite rock wall. Their bodies climbed like spiders, and their five fingers easily inserted into the uneven cracks in the rocks and pulled their bodies up.
Such actions are not uncommon, and some rock climbing enthusiasts can do it. Naturally, Kaxiu and others can do it as well.
They were reluctant to enter the river unless necessary.
It's not because I'm afraid of what's in the darkness below, but punching in the river will be restricted by the water flow and there's nowhere to put force. This feeling is not friendly to fighters.
So, the three of them chose to jump left and right.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Above the underground river, three figures were in the air, like shadows, reflecting back and forth on the cave walls on both sides. They were moving very fast, their legs were like springs, and their ten fingers were like mountaineering picks. They were obviously doing difficult ups and downs, but their speed of moving down was faster than that of an ordinary person running.
Just like that, three minutes passed.
Kaxiu estimated that he had descended quite a distance.
Kakaka!
The three of them suddenly stopped, one hand stuck in the crack of the rock. They turned their heads and looked at an entrance on the opposite rock wall, which was pitch black. That was the passage on the fourth floor, the entrance originally planned.
But now, we can only give it up temporarily.
There is more than one entrance to each level of the Aqaba Ruins, and Kashu and others planned a suitable route. Now the situation has suddenly changed, and it is no longer suitable, so changes should be made.
"Keep going down."
Kaxiu took a deep look and immediately took the lead to descend along the river tunnel. Feng Liusi and Sheng Feinan also followed.
Two minutes later.
The three of them stopped, and the road ahead narrowed, shrinking by about half its diameter. This also caused the passage to be completely flooded.
In short, everyone has to get in the water.
"The entrance to the fifth floor is seventy meters below. It should be a cave flooded by water. Pay close attention." Kaxiu reminded, then jumped into the water.
Saint Finan and Feng Liusi did not move.
After more than ten seconds, Kaxiu floated up from the bottom of the water.
"There is no toxin in the river water for the time being. Come down."
Two plops.
The three of them drifted with the current and were carried into the tunnel by the turbulent river. After walking for a while, Kaxiu occasionally reached out to grab the rock wall to slow down his movement.
Half a minute later.
Kaxiu and others found the hole in the water.
Crash!
There was an undercurrent above the tunnel, as if some huge monster was speeding down, and a black shadow as thick as a bucket rushed towards it.
Kaxiu pushed Feng Liusi and the other man in the water, signaling them to leave first. He grabbed the edge of the cave with one hand, clenched his other hand into a fist, and pushed forward under the river with a terrifying force.
The speed was fierce and fast, directly creating a cavity of two or three meters long. A full punch hit the shadow's head.
This instantly shattered the tough scales, and a large pool of green blood filled the water. The black shadow felt pain and struggled violently, swinging its tail wildly against the cave wall, making a loud bang.
After Kaxiu threw a punch, he didn’t even bother to throw a second punch.
He turned around and swam towards the cave entrance on the fifth floor.
After all, being underwater limits some of his strength. If it was in the air, his punch would have been enough to knock his opponent off balance.
Following the cave entrance and surging upward, Kaxiu swam more than ten meters and immediately saw two figures waiting at the corner. The three of them nodded in the water and swam upward together.
"Hua La La..."
Bubbles suddenly rose from the surface of a pool the size of a room, and then three figures broke through the water and landed on the ground.
Their clothes were damp and dripping with water. When Kaxiu and the others were about to use their internal energy to dry their bodies, their faces suddenly changed.
A burning sensation, a stabbing pain. Similar feelings were felt all over my body, on every part of my skin.
Kaxiu saw that the body of Feng Liusi Shengfeinan opposite him suddenly burst into flames, spreading from the chest to the face.
His thoughts flashed, and he immediately guessed the reason.
The underground river water is not non-toxic. Instead, when it comes into contact with the air of the fifth level of the ruins, it will burst into a special poisonous flame.
Burns every corner of the skin on the body.
In other words, there is no shortcut like the underground river from the third to the fifth floor. Taking shortcuts comes at a price.
"My eyes are also on fire..."
Beside him, Feng Liusi said calmly. He opened his eyes silently, and a faint black flame burned quietly on the surface of his eyes.
Is it painful when your eyes are burned? Of course it is painful.
But this was not unbearable for the three of them, they just received some physical punishment. There used to be a school of ascetics among the secret martial arts practitioners, who were happy to endure the pain.
Feng Liusi and others could not reach that level, but as fighters, their strong will and endurance along the way were extraordinary, and they could continue to fight even if their bodies were broken.
Of course, with Kaxiu here, there is no need to fight while injured.
The three of them quickly sat cross-legged, each circulating the life vibration energy in their bodies to repair the damage. The nourishing liquid and the burning flames confronted each other, and it was a tug-of-war that lasted for two minutes.
Finally, the poisonous flames were extinguished.
Life vibration energy sweeps through, repairing the damage.
After another minute or two, Kaxiu and others opened their eyes.
Tong Kong, who had been blinded by the flames, was restored to his original state, and even became clearer because of the new life. The pain in his body and skin was swept away, bringing a sense of freshness and clarity.
Sheng Feinan also stopped grabbing his crotch. This was the second time he had lost control. Once he got into the fish, and once he got into the fire. It could be said that Sheng Feinan was the most unlucky among the three.
After a short rest, Kaxiu and the others recalibrated the map. After confirming the exact location, they saw a passage in front of them.
Leaving the passage will lead you to the most dangerous area on the fifth floor.
The place where the Nandou secret teachings were located was close to this area. It could be said to be the only good news that the few people had come into contact with.
Ta-ta-ta…
Three footsteps left the cave where the pool was.
At the same time, on the third level of the ruins, a large number of stone beetles gathered into a gray-white river and rushed into the fourth level passage.
The fog at the top of the tunnel was surging and swirling, and the white mist dots gradually condensed into a lake.
This is a vague human figure.
It floated in the air, but the insect swarm below ignored it. In the air currents, there seemed to be a voice whispering softly like a dream: "Hiss... Kaxiu... Hiss..."
"Go... Sizzle... Get... Sizzle... Namdoo..."
