Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 217 The evil ghost seeking life

The water flowed too fast and too violently, and everyone was pushed back continuously until the entire culvert was filled with sewage, leaving no gaps left. Only then did they stop.

Xiao Wang let go of Yan Ciwan, and the two looked at each other in the water.

Yan Ciwan pointed forward, meaning that she was not going to give up and she had to continue.

Xiao Wang nodded and said that he would go with her.

Fu Bai and other internal guards came down with a mission, so they naturally could not retreat easily, so they swam forward along the secret canal.

It is unknown how long this water has been underground. It is very turbid, and there are some bones of unknown animals floating in the water.

They swam for a long time, and because they couldn't breathe underwater, they gradually developed symptoms such as dizziness and weakness.

Yan Ciwan is in relatively good condition due to his profound internal strength.

She knew that no one could hold on for much longer, so she swam forward faster, hoping to find an exit as soon as possible.

Finally, she saw a ray of light in the dark sewage!
The exit should be just ahead. Yan Ciwan perked up and swam quickly towards the light.

After a while, she surfaced and found herself in a deep pool, surrounded by uneven black rock walls with caves of various sizes on them.

After her, more and more people surfaced, and everyone took deep breaths. Their dizziness and weakness were greatly relieved.

Yan Ciwan looked up and saw a platform high up. Lanterns were hung on the rock walls on both sides of the platform. The warm yellow light from the lanterns fell into the water, refracting tiny bits of golden light.

The light she saw in the water just now came from here.

Xiao Wang looked around and saw nothing but rock walls and no exit. Finally, he set his sights on the stands. He estimated that the stands were at least two meters above the water surface. There was nothing nearby to give him leverage, so it would be difficult to fly up even using light skills.

Finally, everyone decided to climb up the rock wall.

They swam towards the edge of the pool. Xiao Wang caught a glimpse of a dark shadow swimming underwater and immediately called out to warn them.

"Be careful, there's something underwater!"

Almost at the same time as the last word was spoken, the black shadow underwater swam towards everyone at an extremely fast speed!

Yan Ciwan grabbed Xiao Wang's arm, used his lightness skills to jump out of the water, and the others also jumped up.

A black shadow passed by their feet, and then the water surface fluctuated violently, and a huge python emerged from the water.

Since there was no landing point, everyone was forced to fall back into the water.

The giant python opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards them!

Yan Ciwan pushed Xiao Wang away and swam towards the giant python.

Everyone saw that she was about to be swallowed by the giant python's bloody mouth, and their hearts suddenly rose to their throats. At the critical moment, she used her lightness skills to jump out of the water again, and at the same time pulled out the Ning Dao from her waist. The thin and soft blade was still stained with water droplets, reflecting a bright light.

The giant python raised its head and chased after her.

Yan Ciwan suddenly fell vertically, but she did not fall into the bloody mouth of the giant python, but passed by it.

The Ning Dao in her hand was stuck in the corner of the python's mouth, and then she pressed down hard, the blade cut the corner of the python's mouth, and then slashed all the way down, leaving a long wound on the python's body.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, and the giant python twisted its body in pain and rolled wildly in the water.

The already turbid pool water became even dirtier after being mixed with snake blood.

Xiao Wang, Fu Bai and the others quickly swam to the edge of the pool. They grabbed the protruding stones on the rock wall and climbed up with their hands and feet. After climbing to a certain height, Xiao Wang looked back and saw Yan Ciwan inserting the Ning knife into the small hole in the rock wall. She was hanging on the rock wall by the handle of the knife.

The sewage beneath my body was still surging violently, and from time to time I could see pythons emerging from the water.

It was not advisable to stay here for long, so everyone climbed up desperately.

There are many caves on the rock wall. Due to the dim light, Yan Ciwan did not see the situation inside the cave clearly before. Only when she got very close did she see clearly that many of the caves were filled with dead bodies. Most of the bodies were only a pile of bones, and a few still had some flesh left, so she could roughly tell whether they were male or female.

In this case, the white bones they saw in the water just now should be human bones that were washed out of the cave by the water.

Yan Ciwan's body was still wet at this moment. She felt uncomfortable when she thought that the water on her body had once soaked a dead person's body.

She pursed her lips and said nothing, just climbing up faster and faster.

Finally, they climbed onto the platform.

The platform was about three feet wide, suspended by ropes on both sides. It was suspended on three sides, except for the side against the wall which had a door.

The door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened from the inside.

Xiao Wang noticed that there was also a green dragon pattern engraved on the surface of this door, but the difference was that the green dragon patterns he had seen before all had open eyes, but the green dragon in front of him had its eyes closed.

He moved closer to take a closer look. This door should be rarely used. In addition, the place was dark and damp, and a lot of moss grew on the surface. There was also moss around Qinglong's eyes, but the moss was concave, probably because it had just been pressed down by someone's hand.

So Xiao Wang stretched out two fingers, placed them on Qinglong's eyes, and pressed down hard.

There was a clicking sound of the machine turning from behind the door, and then the door was slowly pulled up.

What appeared in front of everyone was a dark and narrow secret room. The room was empty, and there was a door on the opposite wall.

As soon as Yan Ci Wan, Xiao Wang and others entered the secret room, the door opposite opened.

More than a dozen people wearing masks and black cloaks rushed out from behind the door. When they saw outsiders breaking in, they immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Yan Ciwan and others, questioning them loudly.

"who are you?"

Yan Ciwan smiled slightly: "We are evil ghosts who are here to take your life."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead and chopped at the opponent with a speed faster than lightning.

Fu Bai and other inner guards also drew out the swords they carried with them and joined the battle.

Xiao Wang could not use martial arts, but fortunately he was quick to react and could dodge with ease, so that the enemy could not even touch the corner of his clothes.

These masked men are all martial artists, and their skills are quite good among ordinary people, but unfortunately, Yan Ciwan and the inner guards are not ordinary people.

In just a cup of tea, all these masked men were knocked to the ground, some dead and some injured, completely without the power to resist.

One of them took out a delicate thumb-sized flute and put it to his mouth, but before he could blow it, Xiao Wang snatched it away.

Xiao Wang looked at the flute in his hand and said, "This should be what they use to contact their companions. There must be other accomplices nearby."

Fu Bai grabbed the man, ripped off the mask on his face, and saw his true face. He immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "I have seen your portrait on the wanted order issued by the government. You are Jiang Qi. You were caught burglarizing a house and brutally killed a family of four. The government has not been able to catch you for so many years. So you are hiding here!"

When Jiang Qi saw that his identity was discovered, he shrank back guiltily.

Afterwards, the internal guards took off the masks of the remaining dozen or so masked men and found that almost all of them were fugitives wanted by the government.
