They had searched the entire valley, but nobody thought of the bottom of the pond.
Everyone had a fixed mindset. They all thought that the exit was in those doors and they all wanted to find a mechanism to open those doors. Who would think of the bottom of the pond?
The bottom of the pond was filled with mud. Many people found it when they were bathing. Also, the pond was not deep, so nobody thought of the bottom of the pond.
The pond was running water. A stream of spring water came out from a corner of the valley and kept flowing into the pond.
At this moment, Lu Li thought of something. There was water coming in, but no water going out?
The water level of the pond had been maintained at this level, which meant that there must be an underground river at the bottom of the pond that was diverting the water away.
Since there was an underground river and water could flow out of the valley, there must be a passageway out of the valley. Maybe it was the exit.
As Autumn Snow gathered the crowd, Ding Heng led the two of them into the pool. Swaggering off his clothes, he took a bath, causing many of the young ladies in the distance to be infuriated.
Looking for a chance, Ding Heng dived into the water quietly and started to explore the bottom of the pond.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of mud at the bottom. Ding Heng couldn't find anything after two tries.
The third time Ding Heng dived into the bottom of the pond, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement in the water near a boulder.
He dived to the edge of the pond and pushed the boulder. The boulder glowed but didn't move a bit.
"There is an Inhibition Formation. The exit should be here."
Ding Heng drew out the saber on his back and hacked at the boulder. The boulder exploded into dust, revealing a dark hole.
"Found it!"
Ding Heng was overjoyed. Without much hesitation, he rushed into the hole.
It really was an underground river. Ding Heng dived into the hole and soon found a huge underground river. On the side of the underground river, there was a black gate, glowing.
Ding Heng pushed the gate hard. The gate was pushed open easily, revealing a dim passageway. Not a single drop of the river entered the passageway.
"Here it is!" Ding Heng's eyes lit up like a wolf's. He crushed a jade talisman in his hand.
"Go!"
At the same time, a jade talisman in Bai Qiuxue's hand was crushed.
She was refreshed. She waved her hand and shouted.
They had already packed up. The group of people shot into the pond like sharp swords. One by one, they rushed into the water.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
The group of people rushed into the pool, and it was like huge rocks smashing into the water. It immediately alerted the other teams. Du Ziling, Zi Lian, and Ye Yuhan hurriedly brought people out to watch.
"Exit!"
Du Ziling, Zi Lian, and the others immediately came to their senses and hurriedly urged the team to gather.
It was a pity that there were a lot of young ladies in their group, and they dilly-dallied for quite a while and had yet to gather.
"Pass down my order. Come here immediately. Otherwise, we will leave them behind!"
Du Ziling was furious, and a trace of coldness flashed through his peach blossom eyes.
As soon as he said that, the young ladies of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom didn't dare to dawdle and hurried over.
"Go!"
Du Ziling took the lead and rushed into the pool. The others followed closely behind and disappeared into the pool.
Behind them was Zi Lian's team, and Ye Yuhan's team was at the back.
…
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Autumn Snow led a group of people and rushed into the passageway. The group of men all had a feast for their eyes. All the young ladies were soaking wet, and their dresses were thin and clinging tightly to their delicate bodies.
That being said, as soon as the young ladies rushed in, they used their Xuan Energy to evaporate the water. Even though they looked a bit embarrassed, at least they wouldn't be exposed.
"Go!"
Bai Qiuxue couldn't let the initiative go to waste. She walked at the front and ran like crazy.
The passageway in front of them suddenly made a turn and another door appeared. Again, this door could be pushed open easily. Inside was a dark cave. Nothing could be seen clearly.
A long whip appeared in Bai Qiuxue's hand. The purple moon on her neck glowed. She rushed into the door without any hesitation.
Lu Li put on the Ghost Mask and followed at the back. After he rushed into the door, he felt a white glare flashing by. He actually felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he was dumbfounded.
He was in a barren mountain, and he couldn't see anyone of the Thousand-island Lake. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
But when he looked around, he found that he was indeed teleported to a barren mountain.
"Have I been teleported out?"
Lu Li couldn't figure it out. He pondered about it and started to walk around in strides to explore.
When he got to the peak of a small mountain, he saw a white figure in the distance.
The figure looked familiar. Lu Li ran towards it without thinking. The figure, however, hid behind a boulder.
When Lu Li arrived, the figure appeared. It was Bai Qiuxue.
"Lady Qiuxue, where are the others?
Have we been teleported out? "
Lu Li asked with confusion. Bai Qiuxue looked up to the sky and said, "We are still in the Tomb of Dragon King. The others should be in the mountains nearby."
"How is that possible?"
Lu Li was shocked. The Tomb of Dragon King was a tomb. They were clearly outside. How could they still be in the Tomb of Dragon King?
"Let's talk on the way."
Bai Qiuxue ran forward and explained to Lu Li, "The Tomb of Dragon King is not just a tomb. It should be a Secret Realm, refined by the Dragon King. This place is boundless."
"Secret Realm!"
Lu Li was deep in thoughts. There were many small worlds in the Spatial Cracks of this world.
Some small worlds were refined by powerful warriors and they were called Secret Realms.
So the Tomb of Dragon King really was a Secret Realm. Otherwise, how could it be so big?
The labyrinth was boundlessly vast.
"Look at the sky. There is no sun here, but it is still bright. Also, the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth here is richer than outside. This should be a Secret Realm."
Bai Qiuxue said again. Lu Li looked up to the sky and completely trusted Bai Qiuxue's judgment.
He asked no more questions and sped up. Since they were still in the Tomb of Dragon King, then they must find the others of the Thousand-island Lake first.
"Let's go that way."
Bai Qiuxue suddenly turned around after a few glances. Lu Li looked towards the direction she was pointing. He could vaguely see a towering mountain.
He nodded. This mountain stood out like a crane among chickens. Maybe the warriors of the Thousand-island Lake would also gather over there when they saw it.
"Lady Li!"
Lu Li saw a figure in the distance and shouted. A Young Lady was terrified. When she saw Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue, she was overjoyed and ran towards them.
"Lu Li, look at the peak of the mountain."
Bai Qiuxue didn't look at Lady Li. She pointed to the peak of the mountain in the distance and shouted in surprise.
Lu Li looked over and his eyes opened wide. Just now, he couldn't see it clearly because he was too far away. Now, he could faintly see it.
He saw something floating on the peak of the mountain. On closer inspection, he found that it was a huge Golden Ancient Coffin.
The coffin was at least 30 feet long and more than six feet in height and width. It was tied up by four huge cold iron chains. If it were not for the huge cold iron chains, the Golden Coffin would have flown up to the sky.
"Coffin of Dragon King!"
Lu Li's eyes lit up like stars. Such a huge coffin, such a domineering scene, and such grandeur could only be the coffin used to bury the Dragon King.
Since the remains of the Dragon King were at the peak of the mountain, then his endless wealth and treasures must be on the peak.
Even a part of it would be enough to make a fortune, not to mention all of it.
"Let's go!"
