Chapter 180: Coffin of the Dragon King
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The valley was combed through, but nobody thought of the bottom of the pond. Men were bounded by their conventional thinking. They all thought the exits were among the gates. They had been trying to find secret gears to open the gates. Who would have thought of the bottom of the pond?
The bottom of the pond was made over sludge. Many noticed that while bathing. The water was not deep, therefore, nobody considered the possibility.
The water in the pond was flowing. There was spring coming out of a corner in the valley and ran into the pond.
Lu Li only came to realize that there was a problem. There was water coming in, but not out? The water level in the pond didn’t change, so there must be an underground screen that diverted the water away.
With an underground screen, the water could leave the valley. It meant that there was a path leading to the outside of the valley, and that might just be the exit.
Bai Qiuxue at once told everyone to get ready in secret. Ding Heng brought two warriors with him to the pond. They swaggered their way into the pond, took off their clothes and started bathing. Many young ladies in the distance were enraged.
An opportunity came up. Ding Heng dived into the water and began exploring. Shamefully, there was too much sludge. Ding Heng tried twice but found no exit.
Ding Heng went in for the third time. He suddenly noticed that the water flowing around a boulder at the bottom of the pond seemed to be fluctuating. He swam there and pushed the boulder. The boulder lit up but it didn’t budge.
"There is an Inhibition Formation. The exit must be here."
Ding Heng drew out the saber he carried on his back and cut at the boulder which turned into dust. A dark cave showed up.
"I did it!"
Ding Heng was overjoyed. Without any hesitation, he swam towards the cave. It really was an underground river. Ding Heng swam along the path and he found a huge underground river. There was a black gate on one side of the river, glistening.
Ding Heng pushed the gate and it opened. A dim tunnel appeared, however, not even a little bit of water flowed in there.
"This is it!" Ding Heng’s eyes lit up as bright as wolves who say their prey. He broke a jade talisman in his hand.
"Go!"
At the same time, a jade talisman in Bai Qiuxue’s hand cracked. She was cheered up. She waved her hand and shouted. Her team was ready for a while now. They immediately dived into the pond like swords one after another.
"Splash, splash~"
So many people jumping into the pond was like boulders dropping into the water. It alarmed the other teams. Du Ziling, Zi Lian and Ye Yuhan soon brought their teams to see.
"The exit!"
Du Ziling and Zi Lian soon realized what was happening. They quickly assembled their teams, however, there was so many young ladies in their team who dawdled for quite a while.
"Say my words. Come here at once or we will leave them alone!"
Du Ziling was getting impatient. Anger showed up in his amorous eyes. As soon as his words were passed along, none of the young ladies of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom dared to drag their feet. They came over at once.
"Go!"
Du Ziling took the lead and jumped into the pond. The others followed suite and disappeared into the pond. The team followed them was Zi Lian’s. Ye Yuhan’s team was the last to come.
…
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Bai Qiuxue led her team and rushed to the tunnel. It was quite a feast for the eyes for the males as all the young ladies got wet. Their dresses were thin and were now sticking to their bodies, very inticing.
That being said, as soon as the young ladies got in, they immediately used Xuan Energy to vaporize the water. Even though they didn't look too pretty, but their bodies were not exposed.
"Move faster!"
Bai Qiuxue would not be so dumb as to waste such a good opportunity as they were in the lead now. She stayed at the front of the team and ran all the way.
Up ahead was a turn. Another gate was there which was easily pushed open. In there was a dark cave with nothing could be seen.
A long whip appeared in Bai Qiuxue’s hand. The purple moon glared on her neck as she rushed in without any hesitation.
Lu Li put on his Ghost Mask. He stayed at the back of the team. After he got into the gate, he felt a white glare which made him dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
He couldn’t believe that he was in the middle of a wilderness. He couldn’t see a single one from the Thousand-island Lake. He rubbed his eyes as he thought he had not seen it right. He checked the surroundings and was sure that he was teleported into a wilderness.
"I was teleported out?"
Lu Li couldn’t figure this out. He pondered about it for a while, then he decided to walk around to explore. When he got to the peak of a small hill, he faintly saw a white figure in the distance.
The figure looked familiar. Without even thinking, Lu Li ran towards that figure wildly. However, that figure hid behind a boulder. Only after Lu Li got close did the figure re-emerge. It was Bai Qiuxue.
"Lady Qiuxue, where are the others? Are we teleported out?"
Lu Li asked with doubt. Bai Qiuxue looked at the sky and replied, "We are still in the Tomb of Dragon King. The others should still be in the mountains nearby."
"How is that possible?"
Lu Li was shocked. The Tomb of Dragon King was just a tomb, but this was clearly the outside. How could they still be inside the Tomb of Dragon King?
"We will talk while we walk."
Bai Qiuxue started forward as she explained to Lu Li, "The Tomb of Dragon King is not merely a tomb. It must be a secret region created by Dragon King. It is boundless."
"Secret region!"
Lu Li was deep in thoughts. There were many small worlds in the voids and cracks of the space in the world. Some small worlds were refined by powerhouses, and those were called secret regions.
So it seemed the Tomb of Dragon King was indeed a secret region, otherwise, how could it be so big? The maze itself was boundless.
"Look at the sky. There is no sun but it is bright in here. Also, the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth is much stronger than the outside. This must be a secret region."
Bai Qiuxue said. Lu Li looked to the sky and bought her words. He asked no more questions. He sped up. Since they were still inside the Tomb of Dragon King, they would have to find the others first.
"Go over there."
Bai Xiashuang suddenly changed her direction after several looks. Lu Li looked towards that direction where he could vaguely see a skyrocketing mountain. He nodded. The mountain stood out obviously. Maybe others from the Thousand-island Lake would perhaps also gather towards it once they saw it.
"Lady Li!"
Lu Li saw a figure afar. He shouted to her. That Young Lady was panicking. When she saw Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue, she was exulted. She rushed over them.
"Lu Li, look at the peak of the mountain."
Bai Qiuxue paid no attention to Lady Li. She looked towards the peak reaching the sky and exclaimed.
Lu Li turned his eyes towards that direction, and his eyes became wide open. Earlier, he couldn’t see it clearly because he was far away, but now, he could tell what it was.
He could vaguely see something floating on the peak of the mountain. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a gigantic golden ancient coffin.
That coffin was at least 30 feet in length, and six feet and six inches in height and width. It was tied down by four cold iron chains. It was as if it were not for the chains, the golden coffin would fly away.
"Coffin of the Dragon King!"
Lu Li’s eyes were sparkling. A coffin that was so big, so impressive, and so majestic could only be the one where the Dragon King was buried in.
Since the remains was at the peak of the mountain, then his endless treasures must be here as well. One could become wealthy to get even part, if not all, of those treasures.
"Go!"
After only a short moment of pause, Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue started running towards the mountain. They didn’t even care about Lady Yi who was running towards them.
