Chapter 224 Master, what should we do now?
It was not until Su Chen went down that he realized that although this place looked low, it was actually nearly eight meters high. Even the water flow below was not as calm as it looked from above.
The further down you go, the clearer you can hear the sound of water hitting the rocks.
But now that it has come to this, Su Chen naturally didn't want to give up easily, so he gritted his teeth and went into the water.
As soon as he touched the river water, he instantly felt a surge of spiritual power flowing through Su Chen's limbs and bones. The spiritual power contained in the water was abundant, worthy of being the famous golden-scaled carp.
Su Chen picked up one at random. It was obvious with the naked eye that the golden-scaled carp was quite old, with a plump body. When it realized that it was trapped, it swung its tail uneasily.
Su Chen was sure that there was nothing wrong with these golden-scaled carp, so he took out a container and put all the red koi inside into the space.
Afterwards, he made a gesture to Luoluo, who understood and immediately pulled him up.
"Which way are we going now?"
Green ivy looked at the identical scenery on both sides and hesitated at the fork in the road.
Su Chen just glanced at it briefly, then looked to the right: "Let's go this way."
"it is good."
Hearing this, Luoluo nodded and followed Su Chen's pace.
She took two steps and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, how can you be so sure that you must go this way? I see both sides are exactly the same."
"I just saw the direction of the river flow, it's flowing this way, so it's definitely the right way to go."
Su Chen said slowly that he didn't think anyone would be so idle as to keep a golden-scaled carp in such a remote place.
Following the direction of the water flow, there must be something waiting for them that they don't know about.
Thinking of this, Su Chen was filled with energy and even quickened his pace.
As they walked forward, the wall, which was originally eight meters high from the river, became lower and lower, and finally it was almost parallel to the river water. The surging river water would roll onto the shore from time to time.
Obviously, this is a secret passage with height differences. The deeper you go inside, the closer they are to the secret.
Soon, they were blocked by a heavy stone door in front of them. The stone door fit the wall tightly without a single gap. The stream that had been flowing continuously also disappeared strangely in front of the door.
Su Chen and the other man confirmed several times that the water did not flow through the crack in the door, so Lu Luo directly attacked the door, but the door remained motionless.
You should know that Luoluo's current strength has reached the peak of quasi-emperor, and almost no one in this world can defeat her. Even if she is not good at fighting, it is easy for her to break through a stone door with her cultivation.
But the stone gate remained motionless, and not even a speck of stone foam fell off.
This is weird.
Green ivy began to doubt her life, so she stepped forward and touched the gate. Suddenly, a golden light came out of the gate and immediately attacked Green ivy.
The speed was so fast that Luoluo only had time to pull back her hand, but a strand of hair between her eyebrows was still cut off by the golden light.
As a person at the peak of the quasi-emperor level, she didn't have time to dodge. If someone with a lower cultivation level than her, she would have been hit in the forehead and died by now.
Ordinary people would die silently before they even have time to react.
“I can’t open this door.”
Luoluo said somewhat frustrated and annoyed. She thought she was invincible in Tianxuan Continent, if not number one. But now, it was just an ordinary stone gate and she hit a wall.
"There's something strange about this stone gate." Su Chen protected Luoluo behind him. Even though his current strength was not as good as Luoluo's, as a man of responsibility, he still protected Luoluo without hesitation.
The material of this stone door is obviously no different from the surrounding walls, but it contains extremely powerful spiritual power, as if someone is continuously providing it in the dark.
"This much spiritual power is definitely not something that an ordinary person can provide."
Su Chen frowned and said, "Moreover, the Qingyun Secret Realm has not been opened for so many years. There are only two possibilities for it to last so long. One is that someone comes here irregularly, and the other is that there are powerful spiritual creatures that can provide this tremendous spiritual power."
"Yes, but what is it?"
Along the way, Green Ivy did not find any spiritual object that could provide such huge spiritual power.
"The only creature with such spiritual power we have encountered along the way is the Red Scale Brocade." Su Chen said with a smile.
After hearing this, Luluo suddenly understood.
Indeed, the golden-scaled carp, as the most sacred holy beast, does have this ability.
"But I'm afraid it's impossible for those golden-scaled carp to maintain their spiritual power for so many years." Luoluo continued.
"I'm afraid that every few hundred years, someone will enter the time illusion to replenish the golden carp inside from time to time to ensure that this door has enough spiritual power."
Su Chen nodded, his hand unconsciously stroking his chin, a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
However, it seems that the Qingyun League is hiding a big secret in secret, but no one knows why they were involved in this illusion.
Now it seems that it can only be an accident.
I guess the people from Qingyun League didn't expect that they could enter this illusion so easily and find their way here.
Thinking of this, Su Chen laughed out loud twice.
This was really God helping him. He had a premonition that this trip would definitely be worth it.
According to Su Chen's current speculation, the place where they came down was actually a dead end. After all, almost no one could make the old tree demon willing to sacrifice himself and let them in.
The things inside this door are what they really want to protect. Even if someone with bad intentions accidentally enters here, he will never be able to pass the old tree demon.
Thinking of this, Su Chen looked around carefully.
The spiritual power required for this stone gate is enormous. Su Chen has just salvaged all the golden-scaled carp. The color of the river water is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking from afar, the river water has turned light green when they just came.
"Master, what should we do now?"
The more Luoluo listened to Su Chen's words, the more frightened she became. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"At this rate, the spiritual power in the river will soon be completely absorbed by the wooden door. By then, we will only have two options."
Su Chen left his words unsaid, looking at the mysterious old Xiang Luoluo.
After hearing this, Luluo tentatively said, "The first option is to wait until all the spiritual power in the river is absorbed into the door, and then the door will completely lose its spiritual power supply. Then we can pass through without any effort?"
"Yes, the second method is relatively faster. After the spiritual power of the river water is completely absorbed, you will be responsible for touching the stone gate and finding a way to release the spiritual power in advance, artificially interfering with the spiritual power storage of the stone gate."
Su Chen said slowly.
