"Holy crap, wasn't the ghost wall supposed to be broken? How come there's still a formation outside?"
Wan Daozhang, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the scene outside the formation.
"When we came here, didn't we go upstream along the river?"
What about the underground river?
Li Chuandao also looked at the scene in front of him with some confusion.
Where is there any underground river now?
This is a whole network of interconnected passageways, isn't it?
"Master, could this be a trick?"
Looking at the scene before him, Erbing felt a chill run down his spine.
He desperately wanted to avoid an unsolvable dead end; he didn't want to be trapped here and die.
Even if they were to be buried with a box of large yellow croakers, Erbing felt that he was still young and hadn't even found a wife yet, so it would be a real waste for him to die.
"This is not a smokescreen!"
After a careful inspection, Master Wan was somewhat desperate; the caves and stone walls were indeed real.
He had no choice but to look to Li Chuanda for help.
"Junior brother, don't rush, let me try!"
Li Chuandao took out a Bagua mirror from his pocket and began to perform calculations.
"According to the Bagua formation, the Gate of Life should be here!"
Li Chuandao stood in front of a hole, but did not immediately step inside.
Because he wasn't sure if his calculations were correct.
Lin Xue didn't even look at those caves; she figured they were all probably traps!
She turned her gaze back to the spot where the bronze box had been buried.
"Is it possible that this bronze box is the key to controlling the formation here?"
Lin Xue carefully examined the bronze box and then looked at the pit that had been dug earlier.
"How about we give it a try?"
Li Chuandao wasn't sure if what he had calculated was the way out. If he was wrong, he and his disciples would probably all perish here.
"I'll do it!"
Hei Jiao walked to one side of the bronze box, while Tian Ze stood on the other side.
The two men painstakingly put the bronze box back into the pit.
When they turned around, they found that all the passages had disappeared.
What appeared before them was the same wall they had seen before.
"This really is a trap!"
The group found themselves in a dead end again.
You can't just see the treasure and leave it behind, can you?
Fifty large yellow croakers! How long would it take them to save up that many?
Neither Master Wan nor Li Chuandao wanted to give up this fortune.
"I wonder which senior figure set this up; they don't want us to take their treasure!"
Master Wan wished he could find that senior and give him a good scolding.
Unfortunately, there's nothing here except this bronze box.
I wonder if that senior is dead or alive?
"Little apprentice, why don't you try to sense it again and see if there's anything else unusual besides here?"
Li Chuandao was also reluctant to part with these treasures, so he looked at Lin Xue.
What if the apprentice gets lucky and can actually take them out?
Even if I can take half of them out, that would be great!
These large yellow croakers are enough for the six of them to buy a good set of equipment.
He's been using this compass for many years because he's poor; he's constantly taking it apart and patching it up.
He wants a new magical artifact too, doesn't he?
"Then I'll give it a try!"
After speaking, Lin Xue channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes and began to observe the cave again.
"You guys bring out this bronze box first!"
Lin Xue found no clues elsewhere, so she had to have the bronze box brought out again.
Then, turning around, they saw that black smoke was rising from the caves that looked like exits, which clearly indicated that it was not a good place.
The place where the bronze box was placed was now emitting a bluish aura.
The greenish hue indicates that there is something inside.
"Senior brother, give me the hoe!"
Having been deceived by the bronze box, Lin Xue never bothered to explore any further.
Unexpectedly, this box of large yellow croakers was just a smokescreen.
As Lin Xue continued digging, the cave became deeper and deeper.
Finally, with a soft "poof".
The ground seems to have been dug through, and gushing spring water is bubbling out!
"There's water!"
Erbing glanced at it and said in surprise.
"Senior Brother, you keep digging, make the hole deeper and bigger!"
Lin Xue dug for a while, and the obstruction of the formation was no longer there, so she handed the medicine hoe to her senior brother, Hei Jiao.
"good!"
Just as Heijiao was about to start digging, Erbing snatched the hoe from him.
"Senior brothers and sisters, I'm stronger, let me do it!"
After saying that, he bent over, picked up the hoe, and started digging vigorously.
As expected of a strongman, his digging speed is much faster than Lin Xue and Hei Jiao.
As they dug the opening wider and wider, they soon created a small pond.
"It's changed!"
"It's changed!"
Li Chuandao and Wan Daozhang spoke in unison.
The two of them never stopped calculating until water was unearthed here, at which point their calculations changed.
"This is the real exit!"
Li Chuandao pointed to the puddle and addressed the crowd.
"I figured that out too!"
Master Wan put away his compass and then carefully observed the clear spring.
The water, which had been murky from digging, settled completely in no time.
"Master and Uncle-Master, don't be in a hurry, let me try first!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she took the medicine hoe and dug hard into the bottom of the pit.
