Su Yanzhong had already arranged for people to block all routes in the direction of Su Miaomiao's location, so that no one except the Xuanmen people who came to help could get in.
"Third Brother, will this work?"
Su Yunzhou was extremely worried. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have definitely learned from Master He long ago.
“Look at the water that suddenly rose. That’s something that can’t be done by human power. All we can do now is stay here and not cause trouble for Miaomiao and the others.”
Su Yanzhong looked serious. He had great faith in Su Miaomiao's abilities, just as he had in the Gobi Desert.
"There's still no news from that seventh brother." Su Yunzhou thought of Su Haoran, who had gone in with him, and wondered if he could call and ask about the situation.
But the next moment, he felt something wet and sticky under his feet. Looking down, he realized that there was water everywhere around his feet.
"Did a water pipe burst there? There's so much water!"
Su Yanzhong also noticed that a lot of water was gradually spreading up the road they were on, and the water temperature was extremely low, feeling like ice water.
"Such a large area of water flow doesn't look like a burst pipe." He looked nervously at the dark, deep area.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several heavy footsteps echoed from afar, and Su Yanzhong and the others felt the ground tremble.
Needless to say, Su Miaomiao and the others were even closer, and they felt as if the ground had been hit heavily by something.
"Is it really a Xuanwu? Judging from the noise, it seems to be quite large!" Ning Tianwei said.
"It can't be Xuanwu. Can you smell a salty, fishy odor?"
Su Miaomiao twitched her nose. The salty, fishy smell in the air grew stronger, and the humidity increased. She felt as if she were enveloped in moisture, sticky and uncomfortable.
Ning Tianwei and Niu Dali still had toilet paper stuffed in their nostrils. After hearing what Su Miaomiao said, they took out a piece of toilet paper and smelled it.
Why does it smell like rotten mackerel?
"Could they have mistaken a sea turtle for Xuanwu?" Niu Dali also smelled it, and he quickly stuffed his nostrils back in.
"If you want a larger turtle, the best choice is the one from the sea. It's not easy to find a large turtle in freshwater."
As Su Miaomiao spoke, she continued running forward.
"The water is rising."
Ning Tianwei found it very inconvenient to run in the water, and the water splashed all the way, making him feel like his shoes were about to be pulled off.
What is that?
Niu Dali suddenly stopped and looked at a tree to the side, under which a long, thin object was hanging upside down.
"What else could it be? Put me down right now!" the thing hanging upside down in the tree shouted loudly.
The voice was familiar to everyone; it belonged to Young Master Dark Raven.
"He's my master!"
Niu Dali immediately ran over, and before Su Miaomiao could react, he was far away.
"Brother Niu, come back quickly, that's not your master!" Su Miaomiao shouted.
The Dark Raven Prince's strength wouldn't allow him to be hung upside down there, and even if he were, he could easily untie himself. Why would he ask them for help?
But Niu Dali ran too fast, and Su Miaomiao's warning came too late.
Niu Dali was swallowed up in an instant by a mouth full of sharp teeth, and the tree with the Dark Raven Prince hanging upside down became clear in an instant.
That wasn't a tree at all; it was bait growing on top of Big Mouth's head.
"Damn it! Spit out my Brother Niu!" Ning Tianwei shouted anxiously.
Su Miaomiao rushed forward, aimed her Bagua umbrella at the sharp teeth, and smashed them hard. With a bang, a large hole was knocked into the teeth, and she quickly crawled inside.
Ning Tianwei cursed under his breath and was about to follow them in, but someone stopped him.
"With your strength, don't jump in and go looking for death," Pan Pei said.
"Master, what are you doing here?"
"The group of men in black robes dispersed, and I chased after that dead turtle."
Pan Pei hurriedly explained a few words, and seeing that the ugly thing was about to dive into the water again, he quickly grabbed the copper coin sword, swung it a few times in the air, and with a chanting sound, plunged the copper coin sword into the ground.
The shallow water on the ground shimmered with light. The ugly turtle had just submerged its head when it was bounced out and angrily slapped the surface of the water with its four fins.
The 'bang bang bang' sounds grew louder and louder, the ground trembled, and Ning Tianwei felt as if an earthquake had struck, making it impossible for him to stand steadily.
Master Qu touched the shimmering bead on his wrist, a mocking smile spreading across his face.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly. Now, all we need to do is bring Su Miaomiao to the center of the formation, and everything will be settled.
He flicked the duster, sending the giant tortoise to the center of the formation, but after two attempts, he found that the thing didn't move at all.
"Go and check on the situation over there!"
The black-robed man behind him immediately rushed over, while only Young Master Lin looked at Master Qu with a somewhat profound gaze.
This time, Jin'ao Island put in a lot of effort and lost many elites. I wonder if this deal will be a loss.
...
Deep in the darkness, Niu Dali felt a chill all over his body, and he shivered uncontrollably.
"Teacher Su, did I really get swallowed by a turtle?" He still couldn't believe he had been swallowed.
"Of course! You bring out the Gate of the Underworld, and we'll go out from there."
Su Miaomiao had already planned her way out before she came in, because after considering all the options, this method was the simplest.
“…I can’t do it!” Niu Dali said apologetically after trying several times.
The two gatekeeper beasts refused to come out, as if they felt it was shameful to be inside a seafood.
Su Miaomiao understood instantly, but they couldn't waste time here.
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll hang you up and beat you." She flipped her hand and formed a hand seal.
In the darkness, Niu Dali couldn't see what she was doing, but he inexplicably felt an invisible, solemn pressure coming from her.
"one!"
As soon as Su Miaomiao uttered her voice, the Gate of the Underworld appeared instantly. The two gatekeeper beasts, no longer lazy, stood guard at the entrance with imposing grandeur, their majestic and awe-inspiring presence even more upright than when the Dark Raven Prince summoned them.
Niu Dali was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Why?
Didn't Young Master Dark Raven say that some kind of mark was required? And these two gatekeeper beasts are posing like they're being inspected—doesn't that seem like a double standard?
The door opened naturally, and the interior was no longer pitch black as before. Instead, it was bathed in warm sunshine, a scene that was very comforting.
Niu Dali felt even more heartbroken.
Su Miaomiao didn't care about anything else and directly called out, "Let's go in!"
She went in first, and as soon as she disappeared, the two gatekeeper beasts instantly reverted to their previous lazy demeanor, not even giving Niu Dali a glance.
After Niu Dali walked over, the gate disappeared as well.
Pan Pei and Ning Tianwei were entangled by the black-robed men who had arrived, and the copper coin sword that was stuck in the ground was pulled out.
"Master, that thing has escaped." Ning Tianwei watched helplessly as the turtle disappeared underwater, but he was being held tightly by a man in black.
