Chapter 553 Underground Waters (Part )
Now let’s get back to the topic of Sun Yixie.
Although Dan took the parchment and broke the mirror that could connect with Huang Donglai, Sun Yixie had actually obtained a lot of information from Huang Donglai before this, and Sun Ge also remembered some of the contents on the parchment. At least he remembered the beginning of each paragraph, such as "the determined ranger" and "the knight of love", so his trip was not in vain.
At this moment, the "pentagram chandelier" continued to emit light, as if some formation had been activated. In addition, Dan's whereabouts and purpose were unknown, so it was obviously not a good idea to stay here for a long time.
Thinking of this, Sun Yixie returned to the banquet hall and prepared to call several other members of the reconnaissance team to report the current situation to the main force first.
When he came back and chatted with Tyrrell and Comman for a few words, the three of them belatedly discovered another problem - where did Ugly Bob go?
It has been a long time since Coman called for help. If Bob could hear the call, he should have crawled back...but that guy hasn't shown up yet.
"Could it be that he has unknowingly advanced too far alone and didn't hear anything happening here?" Tyrael guessed.
"It is also possible that he was killed silently without even having the chance to shout 'Help'." Koeman put forward a more pessimistic but highly likely guess.
"What should we do?" Sun Yixie asked in a negotiating tone, "How about...you two stay here and wait? I'll go back alone and tell Lao Feng and the others about the situation."
"Then why can't the two of us go back to report and you stay here?" Coman asked immediately.
Considering that Sun Yixie had just briefly told them what happened in the locker room, Koeman's suggestion was actually feasible.
"Because I know more detailed information than you, and I can run fast." The answer given by Sun Yixie was also reasonable and well-founded.
"Okay." Tyrael was easier to talk to than Coman. "I also thought we should leave someone here to keep an eye on the changes in this light array. Besides, Bob is missing again. If he comes back later and sees that we are gone and there is another light array under the chandelier, who knows what he will do... Otherwise, Coman and I will stay here to keep an eye on it. You can go and come back quickly."
At this moment, Tyrael had undoubtedly learned from Sun Yixie that Roman was still alive, so his mind was full of "what to do next for the rescue mission", and he had no idea that "Old Feng might choose to retreat after getting the information".
Of course, Sun Yixie would not say this, because Brother Sun was also inclined to think, "Since we're here, we'd better rescue that bastard surnamed Huang before leaving." After all, things will change over time. Who knows what will happen if we withdraw today and come back next time?
To make a long story short, Sun Ge then had a few more arguments with Coman. After all, the latter was not as thick-skinned as him. After Sun Ge said a few words to Coman like "You are a nobleman, are you scared now?", Coman finally gave in.
In this way, Coman and Tyrell stayed in the banquet hall, monitoring the movement of the light array while waiting for Bob who might or might not come back; while Sun Yixie returned from the red door (which had not been closed since they came in) to report to Lao Feng and others.
As Brother Sun himself said, he really ran fast. He passed through the corridor that he came from almost as fast as the wind.
After running to the end of the corridor, he just pushed the door opposite and stepped inside. Hey... guess what happened?
What was waiting for him behind the door was no longer the original road, but a cylindrical space with a diameter of about eight meters, with no top or bottom.
To put it simply, Brother Sun at this moment was as if he had suddenly rushed into the middle section of a huge well. He had never expected such a sudden change to happen, and he stepped on empty air, shouting "Oh my god!" as he fell down.
So some people may ask, what's going on here? Isn't this kind of "scene changes after opening and closing doors" only in the other world?
Well, this is in line with what Shudan said last time: because Sun Yixie inadvertently started the first step of a certain ritual, that is, "spreading a large amount of blood under the pentagram formation in the banquet hall", the boundary between the inner and outer worlds is being broken.
That is to say, from that moment on, at least within the confines of this castle, the two worlds began to intertwine.
Sun Yixie was just unlucky at the moment. After leaving the banquet hall, the first time he opened the door, he encountered a space with no place to stand. He was "running so fast" without any preparation, so it was natural that he couldn't stop the car.
Just like that, after stepping on air, Sun Yixie began to freely fall while yelling and cursing.
Of course, Brother Sun was not someone who would sit still and wait for death. After his initial shock and anger, he immediately began to save himself...
But as he fell, he hurriedly took out the trident that he had put away while hurrying on the road, raised his hand and swung it out, trying to use the tip of the trident to pierce the nearby wall.
However... he swung it several times but didn't hit anything.
This is why?
Because he “can’t see”.
This cylindrical space with a diameter of eight meters has very smooth and somewhat damp brick walls on all four sides, and there is no torch stand or anything like that on the inner walls.
In other words, not long after Sun Yixie fell, he moved away from the light coming in from the door and fell into darkness.
It is easy for people to lose their sense of direction and their relative position when they are in free fall. In addition, it is completely dark... As a result, Sun Yixie has no idea which direction he should thrust his spear to hit the nearest wall.
Fortunately… he didn’t fall for too long and fell into the water with a “splash”.
Fortunately, the protective armor on his body absorbed most of the impact of the fall, otherwise, even if he hit the water from this height, he would have been killed.
However, the danger does not end here...
Sun Yixie had just broken through the water and sank several feet below the surface. Before he started to swim upwards, he saw a little light, which was slowly approaching from a distance like a lantern in the dark night, with his eyes barely opened in the water.
"What is that? A submarine?" Sun Yixie was complaining in his mind when the real body behind the "lantern tentacles" - a huge strange fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth - slowly revealed its true appearance as the light source approached.
Then, the next second, all that was heard was a series of muffled "Ga La La La" sounds underwater.
When a person opens his mouth and shouts "ah" in the water, there will generally be such a noise accompanied by bubbles gushing out of his mouth.
Fortunately, although Sun Yixie was panicked, his survival instinct was fully activated. He swung the trident and stabbed it hard at the top of his head. Then, the tip of the trident carried him to the surface of the water.
This... is naturally not a way of moving that can be achieved by normal swimming, but the first move of his family's unique skill "Four Seas Dragon Hunting Halberd". It is an operation that must be coordinated with the magic weapon in his hand and can only be performed in sea water.
Obviously, when the ancestors of the Sun family created this martial art, they had already discovered that the trident had other uses in the sea, or in other words, only in the water could this weapon exert its full capabilities.
What? You asked Brother Sun when he learned the "Four Seas Dragon Hunting Halberd"?
We may digress and mention this: actually he didn't practice, or he thought about practicing but only learned the beginning and that was it.
So when did he learn this "beginning"?
It was probably around the time when he returned from Erxian Island and drove Murong Ji out of Hangzhou; at that time, Brother Sun had not yet received the pigeon letter from Huang Donglai asking him to go to the capital to deal with the "Thirteen Dead Zodiac Signs", so he had a leisurely time at home in Hangzhou.
Now that he had some free time, he wondered if he could take advantage of the free time to improve his martial arts...
Since the Sun Sect secrets that Huang Donglai had copied on paper had already been given to Shen Youran (they had been burned in the Zhengyi Gate fire), Sun Yixie himself hadn't seen them for a long time. And he happened to be at home during this period of time, so he asked his father to accompany him to the secret room to look at the stone tablet directly.
But in the end... it ended up being a failure, because for many martial arts, Master Sun only taught Sun Yixie the beginning, and the latter found it troublesome and asked him to change to another one. But after changing so many times, his father got annoyed and simply stopped teaching him and gave him a scolding.
Of course, you said that Brother Sun didn't learn anything, but that's not true... He actually remembered the first moves of several martial arts. For example, he remembered the move of using the power of the trident to move at high speed in the sea water.
As for why there is seawater under the city at this moment? Who knows? Anyway, Sun Yixie tasted it when he heard "Ga La La La" just now, so he immediately had an idea and used this trick in the crisis.
On the other side, the strange fish bit into nothing and seemed a little confused, but it was not a human after all, so it didn't think too much. It was only stunned for a second or two, and then it accelerated again and chased after Sun Yixie.
Although Sun Yixie used the power of the halberd to create a certain distance between himself and the strange fish and rushed out of the water to take a breath, the situation was still not good because the water was still pitch black and he didn't know where to escape.
The only source of light here is the monster approaching behind him underwater.
"Fuck you! I'm going to fight you!" In a hurry, Sun Yixie was furious and became vicious.
At that moment, he gritted his teeth, twisted his body, and thrust the trident downwards towards the "light" rushing towards him from underwater.
Judging from the result, Sun Yixie did "kill" the strange fish, because after a moment, the tip of the trident broke through the hard skull of the strange fish with a "pop" sound and penetrated into the huge fish head.
But... anyone who has killed a fish should know that even if it's an ordinary fish, after you kill it and empty its stomach... if you leave it there for a while, it might still move a few times.
The giant fish that Sun Yixie was facing at the moment had only a "small hole" on its head after being hit by the spear. Although its brain had been severely damaged and death was only a matter of time, it would still swam forward like a madman for a moment...
