Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

"It seems that this is the source of the Yellow Spring."

In front of the scarlet rock, Ning Yan and others gathered here.

Looking at the turbid yellow water pool rolling endlessly below, Ji Dinghuang felt quite emotional for a moment.

He Qianyan looked at the fishy yellow liquid flowing in the mountain gap, frowned and said:
"The key reason for the formation of Huangquan must be in this mountain gap, but this is already the core area of ​​Shenluo Wanxiang Sect. It is very dangerous inside. It is not easy to pass through it."

Ji Dinghuang nodded and said:

“This mountain gap is extremely narrow. If we were to suddenly encounter an enemy, we would not be able to maneuver at all and would be easily taken advantage of by the enemy.

And since this liquid can form the Yellow Spring, there must be great terror behind it, so it is never too careful. "

At this time, Qi Ruyue, who was wearing armor, restrained the glimmer in his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"I just did a brief exploration and found that this mountain crevice does contain considerable danger. It is very likely that there are powerful or even stronger evil creatures hiding in it."

Ning Yan also used probing techniques to explore inside, and also sensed a vague dangerous aura that made his hair stand on end.

Duan Haishan withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and said in a serious tone:
"Now that we are here, I should have gone in alone to investigate the situation. However, this place is deep inside the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect and we may face risks at any time. We cannot separate and must rely on collective strength."

After a pause, he continued:
"I have just explored the surroundings. In addition to this gap in the mountain, there are also paths above the rocks and below the pool for passage.

However, there is also some danger on the top of the rocks. Once you climb or fly over, you will definitely encounter extremely powerful attacks.

This attack should be aimed at outsiders who sneaked into this place, such as those third-level powerhouses who have visited here before.

As for the area below the pool, that is, beneath the Yellow Spring, I have explored it before. There is an extremely complex underground water system underneath.

In the past, the dragonborn used the water system to successfully hide their bodies, making them difficult to find.

However, because of the spell I performed before, there are still some residual sensations today.

So I suggest that we go in from below the pool, so that we can hunt down the Dragonborn and avoid the complicated dangers everywhere above."

When everyone heard this, no one refused and they all nodded in agreement.

Then, after taking protective measures, everyone jumped into the turbid yellow deep pool one by one. Duan Haishan led the way in front, and the group continued to sink towards the deep and invisible bottom of the pool.

The water above the pool is quite threatening because it is contaminated by the fishy yellow liquid. Walking through it can make people feel a stinging pain on the skin, and if you stay there for a long time, your body will definitely suffer serious damage.

However, after they sank dozens of feet and approached the original groundwater, they felt that the burden on their bodies was greatly reduced, almost to nothing.

In the end, only the empty and gloomy environment made people feel a little stressed.

Being in it, one always feels that some underwater monster will suddenly pop up.

As a result, Ji Dinghuang and others were all on high alert.

Among the crowd, only Ning Yan looked around with curiosity.

Not long after he sank to the bottom of the water, he found strange changes had occurred to himself. Not only could he breathe freely and smoothly throughout his body, his vision was also not affected by the darkness around him and he could still see very far, and he swam with almost no resistance, as if he was originally an underwater creature.

If he wanted to, he could easily leave the team around him behind underwater.

"Ah, there are monsters coming."

Ning Yan suddenly said something.

Using the vibration of his strength, everyone around him soon received his reminder.

"monster?"

Ji Dinghuang and others looked around vigilantly. Apart from the rugged rocks and dark water, they could not even sense the slightest splash of water, let alone monsters.

At this time, Duan Haishan said with a look of surprise:
"There is indeed a monster coming ahead, and I just noticed it. I didn't expect Brother Ning's underwater perception ability to be so powerful."

As everyone was amazed, He Qianyan couldn't help but ask:
"What is the strength of that monster? Should we prepare for protection in advance?"

"Its strength should be close to the peak of Silk Power, but it still has an advantage underwater. After all, it looks like a monster that can only appear underwater. Its shape is very similar to that of a fish, and it is even possible that it is a mutated fish."

"give it to me."

As soon as Ning Yan finished speaking, Duan Haishan replied in a deep voice.

He kicked his legs back and rushed forward like a swordfish, colliding with the huge shadow in the blink of an eye.

then.

And then no more.

Duan Haishan crashed directly into the mouth of the strange fish, breaking through its back and rushing out, bringing up a large amount of blood.

The strange fish sank softly to the bottom with blood coming out of it.

After dealing with the strange fish, everyone continued on their way, but He Qianyan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Something is wrong!"

"The blood smells like an attractant."

"That fish must have been lured here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yan immediately transmitted his message:
"Brother He is right, there is a school of fish coming ahead!!"

"A school of fish?"

After hearing this, Ji Dinghuang and others' faces suddenly darkened.

At this time, even without Duan Haishan's reminder, everyone could see the large shadow faintly appearing in the distance.

Obviously, these strange fish were most likely deliberately lured here just to deal with them.

At the bottom of the water, their speed could not compare with that of the strange fish.

You can't escape, and if you choose to fight, you will inevitably suffer losses.

And this was just when they dived into the pool, and they didn't know how much danger they would face afterwards.

By the time they finally reach the Dragonborn, how many people will be left?

However, there was no time to think about these questions. Ning Yan said in a deep voice:
"I'll try!"

As he said this he leaped and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Duan Haishan also swam over.

At this time, Ning Yan, who was swimming in front, had begun to change his body shape. His body became smooth, his legs merged into a tail that swam more smoothly, and his arms differentiated into six serrated blades. The blade edges flashed a deep blue light, which was obviously highly poisonous. It was exactly the image of the strange fish that had been hunted before.

Seeing this scene, Duan Haishan and Ji Dinghuang and others behind him were all shocked.

It’s fine that you’ve practiced your skills to the point where you can grow wings and fly into the sky, but how come you can also turn into a merman underwater?
What kind of fucking martial arts is so heaven-defying?

While everyone was shocked, Ning Yan, relying on his newly created fish body, crashed into the school of strange fish.

Although the realm of these strange fish is higher than his, their strength is much weaker than his.

This weakness is not only because they have no intelligence, but also because their bodies are weaker than Ning Yan's.

Because in the process of simulating the fish body, he absorbed the opponent's advantages and further elevated and optimized it.

For example, the serrated fins of the strange fish were not only tougher and sharper, but also more than half the length of the other fish. It was like fighting an enemy with a dagger while holding a spear.

At this moment, as it crashed into the school of fish, blood and flesh flew everywhere and the water shook violently.

Large swathes of fish on both sides and even near the top were cut apart by him.

Just passing through the school of fish directly caused the loss of one third of them.

Of course, his serrated fins were also badly damaged, but he could repair them immediately after each damage, so after slaughtering a wave of fish, his fins were still as good as new.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Yan turned around and crashed into the school of fish again.

After two rounds of attacks, only a few scattered fish were left of the originally ferocious school.

Even the few remaining ones were killed one by one by Duan Haishan who arrived later.

Seeing that the fish crisis was successfully resolved, Ning Yan quickly returned to his original human form. His face was quite pale, and even his breath was greatly weakened.

Even though his transformation seems simple, this kind of transformation is achieved by relying on martial arts, which requires a lot of strength anytime and anywhere, including the later repair of injuries, which also requires the participation of strength and even blood.

Killing the fish was also a huge expense for him.

Seeing that Ning Yan was in poor condition, everyone knew that it was related to the fight just now, and immediately took out various magical pills and medicines to help him recover.

Ning Yan was not pretentious. After swallowing various pills and resting for a while, he said to everyone:
"Just now when I was fighting, I discovered that the group of strange fish were indeed lured by the attractant, and there are corresponding traces of the attractant spread underwater. If we follow the traces, we should be able to trace the original source of the spread. In this way, we may be able to catch up with the dragonborn who set the trap for us."

When everyone heard this, they all took action immediately.

Following Ning Yan's guidance, they soon crossed two underground rivers and arrived at a rather empty water area.

When arriving at the water area, everyone became alert.

The attractant could reveal the opponent's whereabouts, or it could be a trap deliberately set by the opponent. At this moment, being underwater, they had no choice but to be vigilant.

Everyone looked around and searched for clues.

After a moment, Duan Haishan shook his head and said:

"The Dragonborn should have been here, but the sense is too vague, and we can't figure out his exact direction now."

Ji Dinghuang also spoke out:

"There are two waterways ahead. I have explored one of them. It is full of various holes. Each hole seems to lead to a new body of water. If the other party intends to hide, it will be too difficult to find them."

At this moment, Qi Ruyue's voice suddenly came from nearby:

"You all come over here and take a look."

Everyone swam over quickly.

Then I saw a faint light flashing by a reef under the water.

If you don't get close and observe carefully, you can easily overlook it.

Qi Ruyue said in a deep voice:
"When I was using the detection spell to search for the Dragonborn just now, I found that there was an obvious discord here. When I got closer and moved a piece of coral underneath, I saw this crack that was shining with a faint light."

When you get closer, you can see that the crack is very long and narrow, perhaps only about ten feet long. It looks like it was cut by someone with a knife, and the edge is very smooth.

In addition, there are many fresh traces of excavation on both sides of the crack.

Duan Haishan touched the mark on the crack and said in a voice transmission:
"This was excavated by the Dragonborn."

"They must have discovered this underwater cave, but it was protected by a ban and could not be breached in a short period of time, so they had no choice but to dig nearby."

"After escaping this time, they deliberately covered up this place to prevent outsiders from noticing. They never thought that we would find them in no time."

After hearing this, everyone present showed a look of joy on their faces.

This is not just because they found the cave where the Dragonborn wanted to hide.

Also, because this cave has not been damaged for hundreds of years, it is very likely left behind by a powerful person in the third realm, and there may be many treasures in it.

"Can this restriction be broken?"

Ji Dinghuang asked.

Duan Haishan shook his head, then nodded:
“I don’t have the ability to break the restriction, and even if I did, it’s highly unlikely that I would be able to do so.

Because this ban not only blocks the invasion of outsiders, but also blocks the flow of water from the outside world.

Once we break it open, we can indeed get in, and the water outside can also get in.

If the elixirs and books in the cave are not stored properly, they will be destroyed by the water flow."

"Then what do we do?"

Qi Ruyue frowned slightly.

No one can bear to go into a mountain of treasures and come back empty-handed.

Not to mention that their chance of advancement might depend on this cave.

"Learn from the Dragonborn."

Ning Yan pointed at the fresh traces of excavation and said:

"This restriction has existed for so many years, and there are some damages. Those dragonborns are likely to want to dig in through the damaged parts of the restriction. Although there are some risks, it is much better than destroying the entire cave."

Duan Haishan nodded in agreement:
"I think so too."

"Then let's get to work."

He Qianyan said impatiently.

Without delay, everyone carefully observed and detected the ban, then divided the tasks among themselves and dug at the damaged parts of the ban separately.

I have to say that excavation is indeed not an easy task.

Because they had to keep an eye on the condition of the ban at all times to prevent it from accidentally breaking or other accidents, everyone was digging very carefully. Basically, they had to observe carefully after each digging, and only could they continue after determining the next digging location.

This is why the Dragonborn failed to dig it up.

Fortunately, the Dragonborn had helped them complete most of the preliminary work, so the subsequent excavation was not delayed too much.

Soon, everyone sneaked in through the small hole dug near the restriction.

This underwater cave is much larger than everyone imagined. Just looking at it, it seems to be the size of four or five rooms. No one knows what the construction inside is like.

Moreover, there are dense array patterns carved on the rocks everywhere, but most of them have become ineffective, and only less than one-tenth of them are still flashing.

Looking at the hole that was still bubbling with water after the stone was pressed down, Duan Haishan reminded in a deep voice:
"We can't hold out here for long. We need to move quickly and search for everything inside before the water floods the entire cave."

Without further delay, everyone rushed inside quickly.

In a water area thousands of feet away from the underwater cave, the leader of the corpse holders, whose face was covered with thick dragon scales, saw the jade token in his hand suddenly flash, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and he raised his hand to crush the jade token.
