Infernal Hero

Chapter 196 8-sided Pagoda

The interior of the temple was exceptionally magnificent. The corridor was so wide that it did not seem to be prepared for humans. On both sides of the wall, there were unknown pearls embedded, emitting a faint radiance. Gu Tianyou pulled Jiang Fei and watched as he ran. He was secretly shocked. There was a faint unbelievable guess. This thought made him feel ridiculous.

Jiang Fei said, "Do you feel that this place doesn't look like a temple to worship gods and buddhas, but rather like a palace for giants to live in?"

Gu Tianyou had the same question in his heart, but he wasn't in the mood to study this matter at this moment. There were still pursuers behind him. This bastard Sato Shinzhai was more capable than him. Cao Xu had a gun in his hand, so it would definitely not be good for them to catch up to him. The corridor winded, unable to see what was happening behind him. Only sounds could be heard, seemingly approaching. It was estimated that the people outside had already been eaten by the two evil insects. Perhaps the two insects would catch up soon. The most important thing right now is to find a safe place to stay.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate any longer. He grabbed Jiang Fei by the waist, threw her on his shoulder, and sprinted away at full speed. After a while, he could no longer hear the footsteps behind him. Thinking about it, Cao Xu didn't want Sato to keep running, so he would definitely slow down their chase if he ran on his own.

As he ran, he observed the terrain on the left and right. As he ran, a huge hall suddenly lit up in front of him. At the center of the pagoda stood a golden pagoda. On top of the pagoda, a bright pearl blossomed like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire hall.

Both of them were not money-hungry people. This pearl was able to emit such a dazzling light without any light source. Clearly, it was very valuable, but they couldn't care less about it right now.

Around the Golden Treasure Pagoda were several huge stone pillars. The air in the hall was humid, and the temperature was much lower than outside by more than twenty degrees. Apart from the pagoda in the middle, there were six giant oval-shaped stone eggs standing around the hall. Beneath the stone egg was a murmuring stream of water, and there was a white mist floating on the surface of the water, emitting a bone-chilling chill. The water was pitch black as ink, as if it came from hell. The cold air in the room came from this.

Apart from this, there were no other furnishings in the room. The two of them quickly looked around and could not find any other passageways. This place seemed to have reached the end of the palace.

Standing in front of a stone egg, Jiang Fei looked up and exclaimed, "Looks like this Abyss Canal Cultivator really existed."

Gu Tianyou didn't have time to pay attention to her emotional surprise. He was moving away the giant stone piers on the ground one by one, hoping to find other paths from below.

Jiang Fei said, "The people of Wanqu arrived on a spiral boat. The boat was shaped like a snail and sank to the bottom of the sea without immersion in the water. The people of Wanqu were ten zhang long and weaved the feathers of birds and beasts to cover their bodies. The words of the emperor and the clothes of heaven and earth were as if they had seen it for themselves." They also possess astonishingly efficient energy sources that, if used for night lighting, can be "reflected in a hall" with just one grain that is "like a millet". If thrown into a small stream, "boiling foam flow in dozens of miles." Someone asked who these "people of Wanqu" were. Emperor Qin Shihuang thought, "This divine man is also."

"Is there really a divine being in the world?" Jiang Fei's tone was filled with curiosity and longing for the unknown world. "Throughout the ages, many scholars have been puzzled by this record. Perhaps we have found the answer today!"

"Gu Tianyou, do you think this pearl is exactly the same as the night lighting recorded in the scrolls?" Jiang Fei asked excitedly.

Gu Tianyou said disappointedly, "I don't care about the mysteries of a thousand ancient times at all. If we can't find an exit, we'll be done in an instant."

Jiang Fei walked to a stone pier, jumped up, sat down, and asked, "Why didn't you go with Meng Yi and the others?"

Gu Tianyou raised his head to glance at her and asked, "Why don't you know how to worry?"

Jiang Fei said, "If you faint, you can't die. It's useless to worry. I, the head of the phoenix, have mixed up to this point. Being able to have a Phoenix Wing like you accompany me in life and death, even if I die, it would still be enough." She held the bronze bell golden wire and shook it in a crisp voice. She giggled and said, "Have you never thought that since this is the sacred land of the Southern Sect's Gu Sect, Hu Rumeng's great ability would not be able to patronize this place?"

Gu Tianyou remembered that she had prompted him to run to the left when he entered the room. "So you know the secret of this place?" He asked in surprise.

Jiang Fei shook her head first, then nodded and pinched her chin, "I didn't know. I suddenly remembered that Hu Rumeng showed me a handbook of his own life, so I roughly knew something." As she spoke, she leapt forward and arrived at the golden pagoda.

This tower is about twenty meters tall and has only three parts. Its entire body was dazzling with golden light, and it was composed of Ta Sha, Ta Ping, and Ta Zuo. Ta Sha is the sun, moon, stars; The tower bottle was a golden relief of eight curly-haired giants; The tower is a quadrangular building decorated with golden bricks and jade.

Jiang Fei turned to the side facing the entrance of the corridor and pressed her hand against the giant relief's toe. She grabbed it but did not move. Ask Gu Tianyou to come over and help. Gu Tianyou grabbed her big toe and asked hesitantly, "Isn't there any fatal ambush mechanism?" Jiang Fei shook her head and said, "I don't know either, "Anyway, it's based on the notes left behind by Hu Rumeng. The notes say that he came here back then. At that time, this place was filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. He left behind a picture of this pagoda. It only marked an X on the giant's big toe. I don't know if it means that it's a trick or that it can't be used recklessly."

Just as she finished speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor. Gu Tianyou didn't have time to think about it and decisively twisted his big toe.

Rumble!

As the earth shook, the golden pagoda slowly rose up. Rumbling sounds could be heard endlessly. The fourth part of the pagoda, hidden underground, was revealed. A black door appeared in front of Gu Jiang and the other two. Jiang Fei didn't wait for Gu Tianyou to explore the road, so she stepped in first, so Gu Tianyou had no choice but to follow. Jiang Fei was looking around for the mechanism. Gu Tianyou looked around and locked his gaze on the only bulge in the narrow space with Jiang Fei. He reached out his hand and pressed it, causing another rumble to resound. The pagoda slowly sank again, returning to its original position.

As the pagoda stopped sinking, a ray of light appeared in front of it. A passageway flashed in front of his eyes, and in the deepest depths was a huge stone door with an ancient and unadorned shape. Gu Tianyou wasn't in a hurry to continue exploring. Instead, he raised his head to pay attention to the movements above. However, he found a rope hanging above his head, as if it was used to lead to the top of the tower.

Gu Tianyou said, "Let's go up and see if those two can find this place." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Cao Xu's urgent voice from above, "Where is he?" Then came Sato Shinzhai's: "There must be a mechanism. The rumbling sound just now should have been made by the two of them."

Jiang Fei said, "Going up now is equivalent to telling them that we are down there."

Gu Tianyou said solemnly, "It shouldn't be long before the golden pagoda leaves behind our palm prints."

Jiang Fei said, "I hope their hearts aren't that thin. Find a little more and wait for the two insects to catch up before they'll have a lively look."

The situation went against her wishes. Before her voice could finish, Sato Shinzhai's voice came from above her head. "Look at the handprint here."

There was no time to hesitate. Gu Tianyou stepped into the passageway and quickly arrived in front of the stone door. Behind him came the rumbling sound of the pagoda rising. He expected the two of them to arrive in an instant and hurriedly searched for the mechanism to pass through the door. While Gu Tianyou was still busy searching, Jiang Fei suddenly moved closer to the stone door and gently pushed it. The sound of the mechanism sliding entered her ears, and the stone door quietly opened.

Gu Tianyou shouted, followed Jiang Fei and closed the stone door.

The other side of the door was still illuminated by bright pearls. Just as they entered the door, they sensed a pungent smell entering their nostrils. The two of them frowned at the same time. Jiang Fei said, "Why does it smell like liquefied gas? It smells a little stinky." Gu Tianyou covered his nose and observed the surroundings. He saw a translucent crystal bottle right in front of him. It was filled with pitch-black liquid. The bottle was embedded in the golden mountain. The liquid was being pushed upwards by some kind of underground energy. There were two forked protrusions on the top of the bottle that led straight to the top of the cave.

Jiang Fei said, "This liquid should be supplied to the groove where the stone eggs are placed. This giant bottle looks like some kind of pumping equipment."

Gu Tianyou said, "Little sister, let me remind you that we are not the first to patronize this place. Even if there is something good, others have already won first. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to deal with the pursuers behind us."

Jiang Fei said, "There's no need to flee like this if you can handle it. That little ghost's kung fu is too powerful." As he spoke, he sighed. Suddenly, he grabbed Gu Tianyou's hand and said, "I implicated you. We didn't have to take any risks. If it weren't for the heat in my head and the desire to avenge my sisters, you wouldn't have been trapped in this damned place to save me."

Gu Tianyou ignored her words and looked at the golden mountain. He sighed, "This place is simply a golden mountain. If we can return alive, as long as we occupy this place, we won't have to worry about money for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Fei said, "Don't you blame me?"

Gu Tianyou chuckled, "When we get out alive, I won't be able to relieve your anger even if I beat you up. What's the use of saying those nonsense now?"

"Why haven't they caught up yet?" Jiang Fei asked curiously.

Gu Tianyou leaned against the stone door and listened carefully for a while. There were rumbling sounds and Sato Shinzhai's shouts. It was as if the sinking mechanism of the pagoda was stuck by something. Sato, on the other hand, was fighting with something. "It seems that the two of them were caught up by the Big Black Scorpion before they could sink. The sinking of the pagoda may have stuck the Big Black Scorpion. Sato is cleaning up the millennium-old worm."

Jiang Fei hatefully regretted, "These two bastards were almost caught up by the millennium bug."

Gu Tianyou looked around, but besides the pearl above his head, the surroundings were pitch-black and empty. He didn't know how wide the area was. It was unknown how deep the giant bottle went into the ground, but after leaning over a dozen meters away, it felt a bone-chilling chill pounding down on its face. If they really came into contact with each other, most people would probably be frozen in an instant. "This place is extremely cold," Ning Mei said. "It is a holy place where the poisonous insects who love cold Yin live."

Jiang Fei sniffed at the smell in the air and her expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, I remember what this smell is!" She said.
