Chapter 432 Treasure
Colorful light shot up into the sky from within the ancient building, but beneath the base, a blood-like liquid oozed out. An underground river flowed through the base, carrying the blood-like liquid out and instantly turning it into blood-colored river water.
Now Zhou Wen finally understood why the river water outside turned blood red. It turned out to be because of this strange building.
Looking carefully at the place where blood was seeping from the base of the building, Zhou Wen's face changed slightly. The bottom of the base was actually made up of countless skulls and bones, as if countless skulls were poured into cement. Just looking at it made people's scalp numb.
"Climb down the mountain wall. Remember, don't leave the mountain wall or fly. You must keep your feet on the ground." The voice of Lord Emperor came, but this time it was not a real voice. Instead, it sounded in Zhou Wen's mind.
"Could the flower you mentioned be in that ancient building?" Zhou Wen tried to speak in a low voice.
As expected, the Emperor heard what he said: "That's right. Once you reach the bottom of the cliff, go down into the river and swim across. Remember not to take the stairs in front, but swim to the left. There is a hole there, and you have to go in from that side."
"There won't be any strange creatures in the river, right?" Zhou Wen looked at the blood-red river water under the ancient building, feeling a little uneasy.
"Of course I have. You haven't used the bone flute yet, have you? Once you get into the water, hold the flute between your teeth and swim forward. No matter what you see or feel, don't panic or speak. Just swim forward according to the path I point you to."
"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to? Can you tell me everything at once?" Zhou Wen said depressedly.
"That's all. You can go down now." Lord Di said straightforwardly.
Zhou Wen took out the bone flute, bit it with his teeth, and then climbed down using his hands and feet.
When he was outside, although the river water was blood-colored, it was only a somewhat similar color and did not have the smell of blood. But it was different here. The more Zhou Wen climbed down, the stronger the smell of blood in his nose became, which was very unbearable.
When he climbed to the bottom, the smell of blood was almost unbearable and made him want to vomit.
After taking a look at the river water that looked like real blood and the skeleton base in the distance that was oozing with blood, Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and jumped into the water. He had a high resistance to poison and had been injected with the Dark Doctor's venom many times, so he was not afraid of the poison in the river water.
Even so, after entering the water, Zhou Wen felt his skin a little itchy. Although he had put on the mutated stone demon armor, there were still some gaps in the armor, and it was impossible to prevent the blood-like river water from seeping in.
Fortunately, apart from a little itching, there was no other reaction. Zhou Wen felt relieved and quickened his speed to swim towards the left side of the building.
As he swam, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that something seemed to be floating up from under the blood-colored river water and approaching him.
That thing was a huge monster, and its entire body seemed to be vibrating with some kind of power. Di Ting could hear its existence, but was affected by the vibration and could not hear its specific appearance clearly. He just felt that it was very big.
"Don't stop, don't talk, keep swimming, don't panic, unless you want to die." The voice of Lord Di sounded in his mind again.
At this point, Zhou Wen could only continue swimming forward, but he kept his ears perked up to listen. He felt that the thing at the bottom of the water was already below him. The thing was so big that it was unimaginable, probably a hundred meters long. He had no idea what it was.
"Stinky flower, please don't hurt me!" Zhou Wen said in his heart. He felt that the thing was about to touch his body, and many things like seaweed or tentacles had already touched his body.
"Don't stop, keep swimming, don't worry about it." Lord Di's voice sounded again.
Zhou Wen could only listen to him and continue swimming forward, but soon, Zhou Wen discovered that many red things emerged from the water around him. Those things were as thick as a little finger, and looked like water plants or tentacles that emerged from the water, occupying nearly a hundred meters of the river surface.
When Zhou Wen's body touched those things, he felt soft and sticky, and he didn't know what they were.
"Keep swimming, don't worry about them, it doesn't matter if you bump into them." The voice of Lord Di sounded in Zhou Wen's mind again.
Zhou Wen felt severe itchiness all over his body. He knew that it was definitely not as Lord Di said, as it was nothing serious. At least these things must be highly poisonous. It was only because he had a high resistance to poison that anyone else would have died at the bottom of the river.
Biting the bone flute, he swam desperately among those red things. It was no longer swimming, it was almost like crawling on top of those red things.
Fortunately, apart from feeling itchy, those things did not attack him. Zhou Wen crawled all the way to the left side of the ancient building's base, and crawled a few hundred meters, but did not see the cave that Lord Di mentioned.
"We're here. It's about three meters underwater. Dive in from here." Lord Di suddenly said.
"Fuck you! Even if all my limbs are cut off, I will never come again next time." Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and pulled away those red things that looked like water plants, then dived into the blood. The smell of blood made him want to vomit.
The constant vibration of those red things seriously affected Di Ting's hearing. Zhou Wen climbed down by grasping the red water plants and groped for a long time before finally finding the cave that Lord Di mentioned.
The hole was about the size of a dog hole, and Zhou Wen's head could just barely fit in. He squeezed in with difficulty. Behind it was a passage flooded by the river. Fortunately, there were no red water plants in it, so Di Ting could probably hear clearly what was happening inside.
"Don't surface yet. Just swim underwater according to my instructions. Now you have to pay attention. You have to swim close to the bottom stone slab. If those things outside find you, you're dead."
"Fuck you!" Zhou Wen felt like cursing.
But at this point, there was no other way but to swim forward carefully, sticking to the bottom stone slab.
The passage below was interconnected, and Zhou Wen swam forward according to Lord Di's instructions. He also memorized the path he had taken so that it would be convenient for him to come back next time.
He will definitely not come here again in real life, but in the game, he will continue to explore this place.
Fortunately, Zhou Wenxue had learned the Nine Dragons Technique, and his breath-holding time underwater was much longer than that of an average epic-level person. If it were an average epic-level human, not to mention the poison in the water, after swimming underwater for such a long time, he would probably have floated to the surface to breathe.
"Okay, there are stone steps ahead, let's go up from them." After swimming for a while and passing through many passages submerged in water, Zhou Wen was about to suffocate when he finally heard the voice of Lord Di asking him to leave the water.
Zhou Wen rushed out of the water along the stone steps, gasping for breath. However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
At the end of the stone steps, there is a stone platform. On the stone platform is piled up dimensional crystals like a hill, emitting colorful light like a treasure mountain.
