I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

The entire stone chamber suddenly went dark.

The light from the small tidal sound bead in the dome went out for a moment, then lit up again.

But this time the light turned dark red, the same color as the Great Tide Sound Pearl outside before it went berserk.

Fearing another collapse, Huo Yunzhi quickly took half a step back, her right hand already gripping the Red Lotus Fire Spear tightly.

One by one, the beads embedded in the stone slab began to light up.

Starting with light gray, it gradually changed to white, light gold, light pink, dark purple, and dark green. When the last pure black bead lit up, the entire stone slab cracked in the middle and sank half an inch.

Then something rose up from under the stone slab.

The object first revealed a section of a pillar, made of the same material as the stone pillar outside, with grayish-white stone surfaces covered in merman script.

But when it was halfway up, Huo Yunzhi realized something was wrong; the pillar was moving!

Especially the characters on the surface of the pillars, as more and more pillars emerged, they twisted and deformed like living ink marks.

When the pillar emerged completely from the ground and met the eyes the size of a human head, Huo Yunzhi felt that she was going to die here today.

The thing was coiled around the pillar, its entire body a translucent, light blue color. It was about the thickness of an adult's arm, and it coiled around the pillar in circles, from the bottom all the way to the bottom of the bead, like a long snake made of solidified seawater.

However, it has some strange characteristics that are different from snakes.

Like the pair of antlers on its head, those are clearly not things a snake would have.

And those red eyes, and the pollution clinging to his body.

"It's not unusual for there to be such demonized dragons in the ocean."

Huo Yunzhi suddenly realized that she was actually in the mood to talk, which showed that she had a strong mental fortitude.

She took half a step back, intending to retreat to the crevice and leave quietly, when the head of the blue dragon suddenly turned towards her.

An extremely heavy sense of oppression came from the direction of the pillar, and the water in the entire stone chamber seemed to thicken.

The dragon's head drooped down from the pillar, and its body loosened from its coiled state segment by segment. Once its translucent, light blue body stretched out, it almost filled the entire stone chamber.

It hovered two meters above Huo Yunzhi, and its vertical slit-like mouth opened and closed again. This time there was no hissing, but the stone slab beneath Huo Yunzhi's feet began to vibrate.

Water gushed in from the cracks in the walls of the stone chamber, pushing her toward the pillar with tremendous force.

She slipped and her knee hit the stone slab. Before she could grab anything, she was pushed by the current and rolled twice before her back hit a pillar and she came to a stop.

The dragon slowly lowered its head, bringing its face to within an arm's length of hers.

Huo Yunzhi gritted her teeth, drew the Red Lotus Fire Spear from her waist, and thrust it towards the dragon's head.

The karmic fire, enveloping the Crimson Lotus Fire Spear, stabbed it hard into the head of the long snake, about half an inch away.

"Sizzle—"

The karmic fire began to evaporate rapidly.

After the steam dissipated, not a single mark was left on the head of the long dragon.

Its tail swept across from the other side of the pillar. Huo Yunzhi only had time to turn her body slightly. The tail grazed her left arm and swung past, the force of which lifted her off the ground and slammed her back onto the stone slab.

Seeing that the dragon was still preparing to attack its master, Hongling, who was surrounding Huo Yunzhi, could not hold back any longer.

It emitted a dazzling red light, starting from the dragon's horns, and within just a few seconds, it wrapped the entire dragon into an Ω shape, looking like an earthworm from a distance.

After spewing out a mouthful of karmic fire, the Crimson Lotus Fire Spear flew directly from Huo Yunzhi's hand, circled the long dragon a few times, and then slammed into a scale.

The dragon roared loudly in an instant.

The Red Lotus Musket ignored it completely. After the musket tip went in, it seemed to have found something and forcefully pushed it out.

A golden strip was pulled out completely.

The long dragon rolled over on the stone slab, crushing two of the inlaid beads. The moment the beads shattered, they burst out with white light, scorching two black holes in the snake's body. Its light blue body became murky around the holes.

Without hesitation, Huo Yunzhi took a few steps to the dragon's side while it was still rolling and struggling, took out a gold brick that she hadn't used in a long time, and smashed it hard on the dragon's head.

Strange to say.

The dragon head, which even the Red Lotus Firearm couldn't pierce, was actually bleed by a gold brick.

After its head was smashed, the dragon was enveloped in white light, and its body convulsed violently.

The light blue body shattered inch by inch into tiny specks of light, starting from the head, and dissipated into the water.

After the long dragon disappeared, the stone chamber fell silent again, with only the remaining white light on the inlaid bead slowly dimming.

The Crimson Lotus Fire Spear, with its golden strip-like attachment, fluttered around Huo Yunzhi, seemingly urging her to hurry up and grab it.

Huo Yunzhi knelt by the stone slab, her knees swollen and her left arm burning with pain. Blood was seeping from the cut on her shoulder caused by the stone door.

She took the strip from the Red Lotus Firearm, and as she sat down against the pillar to catch her breath, she glanced down at the writing on the pillar.

The two lines of text that had just been touched by the key cord were still faintly glowing, but they weren't as red as before.

The characters seemed to come alive, slowly moving across the column surface several times before rearranging themselves into a new pattern.

A pattern of lines that she could barely make out the shape of.

The concentric circle pattern extends in concentric circles, and the white dot at the center of each circle is marked by newly arranged text as a small arrow symbol, pointing to the left wall of the stone chamber.

Huo Yunzhi stood up, leaning on the pillar, and dragged her knees to the wall.

The walls are smooth and flat without any seams or grooves.

She pressed her palm against it and found that it was still solid.

Using the Qi Sea Vision to continue exploring through the wall, they unexpectedly discovered another space behind it.

"Ha." She laughed, a little annoyed. "Am I playing an escape room game here?"

She focused her Qi Sea near the wall and discovered a very fine crack at the bottom of the wall.

Huo Yunzhi squatted down, cut the safe zone into a small, thin piece, and then inserted it sideways into the slit.

The moment the safe zone was completely enclosed, Huo Yunzhi expanded the safe zone to its maximum size.

The rapidly expanding safe zone forced the crack open, and a dull thud echoed from the base of the wall.

A straight crack appeared on the wall from bottom to top, and the airflow gushing out of the crack almost blew her over.

The air currents carried the salty smell of the sea and another kind of smell, like the stuffy, ionized smell in the air before a downpour.

Huo Yunzhi stood at the gap and peered inside for a few seconds.

The small tidal sound bead suddenly appeared behind her, emitting a very soft ringing sound, as if urging her to hurry up and go down.

Huo Yunzhi wrapped the red silk around her arm, held the Red Lotus Fire Spear in her other hand, grabbed the Tide Sound Pearl that was trying to sneak back to the stone pillar, and stepped into the passage.
