Chapter 228: Underground Water Prison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The steps were leading them underground.

Suddenly, Tong Yujie stopped. His muscles tensed up slightly. “I think I stepped on a trap. Step back.”

The two of them quickly retreated. Then, Tang Jinghong blocked Chu Qingzhi behind him and pulled out his sword in a defensive posture.

Chu Qingzhi secretly circulated her spiritual energy into her palm. Tang Jinghong wanted to protect her, and she wanted to protect Tang Jinghong too.

Tong Yujie unsheathed his sword. Then, he lifted his leg carefully…

The sound of a mechanism being activated was heard, followed by the sound of something tearing through the air. Arrows that flashed with a blue cold light whistled over from all directions, dense like rain. The entrance behind them instantly closed, and the surroundings fell into darkness, but the arrows that shot over did not stop at all.

Tong Yujie swung his sword to block the arrows. Fortunately, his five senses were sharp and his inner energy was deep. It was not difficult for him to deal with the arrows. The arrows fell one after another after colliding with his sword.

Tang Jinghong was the same. He stood on the spot and brandished his sword to block all the arrows. Not a single arrow hit him and Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi slapped the stone wall, and a white light quickly spread along the stone wall. The lamps on the stone wall lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

With the light, things became easier.

The arrows would eventually run out. When their arms were slightly sore, the arrows finally stopped.

Chu Qingzhi stopped Tong Yujie. ‘Til walk in front.”

Tong Yujie moved to the side and let Chu Qingzhi pass.

Tang Jinghong grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “I’ll walk in front.” As he spoke, he walked past Tong Yujie and walked to the front.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and didn’t insist.

Tang Jinghong walked carefully. Just now, they had only taken a few steps when they encountered a trap. There must be danger everywhere.

Suddenly, he stopped and quickly raised his hand to stop the two people behind him.

In front of him were spiderweb-like white threads that were pulled taut. Both ends were embedded in the wall from top to bottom.

Tang Jinghong looked around, then picked up a stone and threw it over.

When the stone touched the white thread, it was immediately cut into two and fell to the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but shudder. If they weren’t careful, wouldn’t their bodies be cut into pieces?

Tang Jinghong raised his sword and waved it. With a buzz, the thread vibrated. It was undamaged, but there was a small crack on the surface of his sword.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

Chu Qingzhi walked forward and observed carefully. Those threads were thinner than hair and sharper than blades. The material was unknown.

Tang Jinghong asked, “Qingzhi, can you tell what it is?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “We don’t have time to study what it is.” By now, they had probably already alarmed Wan Zhilin.

Chu Qingzhi took Tang Jinghong’s sword and waved it. The threads snapped and they could continue down.

Tong Yujie was struck dumb.

Tang Jinghong could not cut it, but Chu Qingzhi cut it with a gentle wave of her hand. How much more skilled in martial arts was Chu Qingzhi?

The three of them continued walking…

At the same time, Wan Zhilin was indeed alarmed.

The guards in the residence noticed that there were commotions coming from the pavilion in the middle of the lake and immediately went to inform Wan Zhilin. Wan Zhilin had just come out of the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border. When he heard that, his expression changed drastically and he immediately rushed back as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the three people in the water prison arrived at a dead end.

In front of them was a wall. To their right was a waterfall formed by the underground current. Behind them was the path they had come from. It seemed that they couldn’t continue further.

Well…

“There should be a mechanism nearby…” Tong Yujie looked around and reached out to knock on the wall. However, in the next second, he felt a pain on the back of his hand. At a visible speed, the back of his hand turned black.

At the same time, something seemed to be moving on the wall. A moment later, the thing on the wall spread its wings…

It was a flying insect that looked like a moth. Its color was exactly the same as the wall. There were barbs on its butt.. When it flew, it scattered poisonous powder and used the barbs on its butt to sting its target.

The flying insects quickly flew towards the three of them. There were thousands of them, densely packed. The scene was spectacular and extremely dangerous.

Tang Jinghong took off his coat and draped it over Chu Qingzhi’s head, covering her tightly. Then, he circulated his internal energy. He waved his sword to scare away the flying insects and retreated back slowly.

Chu Qingzhi pulled off Tang Jinghong’s coat. She didn’t expect Tang Jinghong to react so quickly and beat her to it.

Did this fool forget that she knew how to tame beasts?!

She took out a flute condensed from spirit energy from her sleeve and blew on it. The flute was snow-white, emitting a pure white light in the darkness. The tune flowed out like a light wave.

The flying insects seemed to have fallen asleep. One by one, they fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi was safe and sound, Tang Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief. The sword fell from his hand with a clang as he fainted.

Tong Yujie had been stung by a flying insect and had fainted for a long time.

Chu Qingzhi stepped forward to check. Jinghong breathed in the poisonous powder. The poison entered his lungs. Tong Yujie also breathed in the poisonous powder.

Without any delay, Chu Qingzhi grabbed Tang Jinghong with one hand and Tong Yujie with the other. At the same time, she injected spiritual power into their bodies to remove the poison.

After a while, 30% of the spiritual power in her body was gone.

After saving the two of them, she slapped the ground. A spiritual light flashed, and the flying insects were all killed. They could no longer hurt anyone.

There was such a large group of flying insects, and every one of them was extremely poisonous. Even if a hundred people came in, not a single one of them could go out alive.

The two of them were still unconscious. Chu Qingzhi had no choice but to start looking for the mechanism herself.

Where was the final entrance to the water prison?

Chu Qingzhi observed her surroundings and spread her divine sense to the greatest range…

From the entrance to the waterfall, she searched inch by inch. Suddenly, she turned around and faced the waterfall…

Chu Qingzhi smiled. Wan Zhilin was quite scheming.

With a light tap of her toes, she flew towards the waterfall…

Chu Qingzhi passed through the waterfall and landed on a passageway.

It was actually not difficult to find the passageway behind the waterfall, but when ordinary people came here, they would definitely think that they had reached a dead end and knock on the wall to find the entrance. By doing that, they would wake up the flying insects and die from being poisoned..
