Chapter 7419
7419 Chapter 7417-trapped in the swamp
Just as Lin Yi expected, elder Wu and the Azure water sect’s conflict was all talk and no action. In the end, the conflict disappeared.
Lin Yi turned the crystal in his hand over and over again, looking at it many times. He then held the crystal and gestured according to Chen Zhisheng’s movements on the second floor.
The stairs to the fourth level had really been created!
“It seems that the key to opening the stairs is the fire spirit crystal and wood spirit crystal on each level! Sima Yi, you must keep it well, don’t lose it!”
Elder Wu would definitely be embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for the wood spirit crystal. He could only remind him that he hoped Sima Yi would really keep it safe!
When he returned to the sword spring sect, even if he did not have any other gains, just the fire spiritual crystal and the wood spiritual crystal would be enough to get a generous reward!
Lin Yi agreed, but his eyes glanced at Chen Zhisheng.
Lin Yi’s movements were exactly the same as Chen Zhisheng’s on the second floor-he didn’t think he’d be able to open up a new path.
He wondered if he could open the stairs with the wood spiritual crystal instead of the scribbling.
Chen Zhisheng’s face was expressionless, and Lin Yi couldn’t see any emotional fluctuations. He could only continue to observe in the dark.
“Elder Wu, there’s no rush to go to the fourth floor. Let everyone rest here. We’ve all used up a lot of energy just now.”
Lin Yi kept the crystal and said casually,”The danger up there should be getting bigger and bigger. We can’t be careless.”
“Well said! Everyone, take a good rest and recuperate. ”
Elder Wu nodded his head slightly, not only to the people of the sword spring sect, but also to the people of the Azure water sect.
Although the two sides had temporarily put aside their disputes, the atmosphere between them was not friendly. Elder han and the people from the Azure water sect sat on the right side of the stairs, while the people from the sword spring sect sat on the left. Both sides were on guard against each other across the stairs.
As the casualties on both sides were relatively high, no one was in the mood to talk. So, the atmosphere of silence lasted for about an hour.
“It’s almost time. Shall we set off?”
Lin Yi saw that everyone’s recovery was pretty good, so he stood up first. He looked like he was asking for elder Wu’s opinion, but he was actually giving an order.
As the actual commander, and with the strength he’d displayed, Lin Yi’s words carried a lot of weight.
Elder Wu and elder Chen stood up immediately. Although Yang Qi was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow.
“Everyone from the canglan sect, we’re ready to go to the fourth level!”
Lin Yi cupped his fists to the six people.”Why don’t you guys come with us?”
Elder Wu was annoyed and really did not want to continue working with the people from the sword spring sect!
It was a cooperation, but all the benefits were taken by the sword spring sect, so it would be strange if they were happy!
“Of course! Little friend Sima, you guys go first, we’ll follow!”
It was still elder Mei who took the lead. She smiled and nodded,”The Linglong Pagoda is filled with danger at every step. It’s better for the canglan sect and the spring sword sect to cooperate sincerely. Please don’t worry too much!”
Everyone present understood the meaning of his words. There was no need to continue.
Lin Yi nodded at elder Mei and stepped on the stairs to the fourth floor first, with Ling Hanxue and Chen Zhisheng on both sides, followed by elder Wu and elder Chen, and Yang Qi.
Lin Yi had started to have the aura of the leader of the sword spring sect, and the two elders didn’t realize that they were following him willingly.
The people from the canglan sect, on the other hand, had complicated expressions as they looked at Lin Yi walking in front.
The three elders suddenly realized that Lin Yi had become someone who was on the same level as them, someone they could talk to as an equal.
As for Cai lingying and Cao Yunqing, they were sighing at the fact that the person they could look down on before was now an existence that they looked up to.
The flight of stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor wasn’t too long. The group quickly reached the top and passed through a door of light, entering the space of the fourth floor.
With the lesson he’d learned before, Lin Yi expanded his spirit sense to its maximum range the moment he entered the fourth floor. He pulled out the demonic devour sword at the same time and assumed a defensive stance.
The people who followed behind did the same. Before their eyes could adapt to the changes in the light door, they had already formed a tight defensive formation.
But … Nothing happened!
The danger that he had imagined did not appear. What appeared before him was a gloomy swamp!
“Swamp? Is it the earth element … Or the water element?”
As the chief of the mechanism Hall, elder Chen instinctively thought of this.””If it’s just the earth attribute, there shouldn’t be a swamp!”
By the same logic, the water attribute was the same. The pure water attribute should have monstrous waves. How could it be so sticky?
Elder Wu was in a similar state. He was bending over with his head lowered, carefully observing the ground beneath his feet.
The door of light behind them had disappeared after everyone had arrived. In other words, they had lost the possibility of retreating again!
“Not good! It’s sinking, run!”
Elder Wu, who was bending over, suddenly cried out in alarm. His thick and strong body leaped out with a whoosh, “Don’t just stand there, start running!”
At this time, everyone realized that the ground under their feet was indeed sinking, and there was a faint pulling force that was pulling them down.
A swamp!
It was an existence that could silently devour everything!
Regardless of whether it was the Azure water sect or the sword spring sect, everyone was flustered. They started to run after elder Wu. If they were to fall into the swamp, they would not have the chance to escape anymore!
Lin Yi’s spirit sense started to cover the ground, trying to find a harder area for people to stand on, but unfortunately, the ground around him was softening. Every inch of the swamp had turned into a man-eating demon!
The people of both sects were all brilliant martial artists. They wouldn’t fall into the swamp for a while by relying on their speed, but it was hard to say if they would fall into the swamp after a long time!
First of all, the consumption of physical strength would cause the speed to slow down. Secondly, the speed at which the swamp softened was getting faster and faster, and the pulling force was getting stronger and stronger!
Lin Yi estimated that if they couldn’t find solid ground in another four to five minutes, there was a high chance that they’d be trapped in the swamp!
“Ah, Yingluo.”
Ling Hanxue suddenly let out a cry.
It turned out that her steps were a little too heavy, and as a result, the soft mud of the swamp instantly submerged her ankles. She lost her balance and suddenly fell to the side.
Once a person’s entire body fell into the swamp, they would probably be swallowed up in an instant, and no one would be able to save them even if they wanted to!
“Xiaoxue! Don’t be afraid that I’ll come and save you!”
Chen Zhisheng shouted as he turned his head and raised his hand to grab Ling Hanxue. His expression seemed anxious, but his eyes were extremely calm, as if he did not care about the danger this time.
Perhaps in Chen Zhisheng’s heart, this was a rare opportunity to show off in front of Ling Hanxue!
