Chapter 332: Lake bottom, stone gate, cave entrance.
The sound of killing was deafening, sudden, and without any warning, coming from two directions at the same time.
No one attempted to escape by jumping into the water.
They are Emperor Qing's elite troops and the most solid defensive force left here.
This villa is isolated from the world and was inconspicuous in the past. No one had come here for a long time, and they seemed to have forgotten the significance of guarding this place.
At this time, Li An and Ku He were like two sickles, sweeping past sharply as if there were no obstacles.
The people killed by Li An were fortunately not so. He used swords, and in addition to a few damaged blades, he also had a magic sword that he could use. He flew through the air and combined with the Tianwen in his hand, the soldiers often lost their breath in the blink of an eye. It was not painful at all, and their death was acceptable.
But it is not so easy to encounter Ku He.
Ku He, who practiced the most gentle Tianyi technique, attacked like a Shura at this moment!
Every punch he threw and every kick he delivered was as heavy as a thousand pounds! It was truly a death sentence if it touched him!
This side is to guard against experts of light skills coming across the lake, so there are more archers.
But under Ku He's true energy and the stones, they died miserably. Some of those whose hearts were pierced by the stones had big holes in their chests, and they died slowly in great pain while wailing.
The scene seemed a little bloody for a moment.
The guards are elite soldiers, but they are also human beings.
After seeing this kind of hell on earth, some people suffered mental breakdowns and screamed to escape!
However, the two sickles did not give them a chance, and the killing continued.
Many people died from falling, and some were trampled to death.
"I didn't expect that Emperor Qing left so many defensive forces here. This makes me really curious about what's underneath." Ku He's expression moved. It seems that what Li An said is true. There really is a secret about the temple under this villa.
Thinking back to the year when he first met Ye Qingmei, she was being chased by the messenger from the temple. Ku He fought with him, but was severely injured by the messenger. After that, the messenger returned to the temple and the door slowly closed (original work).
At that time, Northern Qi was still the Great Wei Kingdom, the most powerful feudal empire on the entire continent. In the eyes of the Great Wei Kingdom, Nanqing was just a younger brother and was not even worth invading.
The Emperor of Wei felt how lonely it was to be invincible, so he made the same mistake that all feudal emperors made: I want to live forever.
Fortunately, Ku He was able to witness the various magical aspects of the temple.
You know, at that time, he was already the youngest ninth-grade master, and had reached the pinnacle of the world! (There were no grandmasters at that time)
If any random person from this temple could seriously injure him, what kind of existence is the entire temple? This power could easily destroy any country in the world.
Now, the opportunity to learn the secrets of the temple is right before him. How can he not be excited?
Li An, who had just met up with Ku He, was also a little excited at this time.
What excited him was not how magical the things at the bottom of the lake were. After all, no matter how magical it was, how could this secret compare to the system he himself had?
What excited him was the feeling of finally being able to uncover the truth of the world!
The temple has spaceships that connect to the universe. What kind of technology tree is it that can have this level of spaceships but still let the world be destroyed by nuclear weapons in the end?
This in itself is full of contradictions.
It's as if the technology tree has grown crooked!
Let all of this unveil a corner of the veil today!
With a light tap of his feet, Li An flew to the center of the lake in the yard - it was a protruding, inconspicuous stone.
He spun and sank downwards, exerting force on his feet using the technique of using a heavy weight. Suddenly, a roar was heard, and the entire lake surface was stirred, as if the earth was shaking.
"What is this? Such a huge mechanism!" Ku He was shocked. This was not something that Qing Kingdom could build.
If the Qing Kingdom had the ability to build such a huge mechanical building, then the city-breaking weapons used on the battlefield would not be so simple.
Is this a masterpiece of the temple?
The water level of the lake was dropping at a very fast speed, and gradually, several whirlpools formed. It was as if several bottomless holes appeared at the bottom of the water and were madly absorbing the lake water! "At this point, can Mr. Li explain what's down there?"
Previously, Li An said that he didn’t know what was down there, but Ku He didn’t believe it!
If you don't know what's down there, how can you know the mechanisms here?
It seems he is keeping a deeper secret!
Li An looked a little strange, and could only say casually: "There is a forbidden door underneath. So, Master Ku He, are you willing to explore it with me?"
"go!"
A door slowly appeared on the rock wall at the bottom of the lake, and Ku He jumped down without hesitation.
Li An raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed closely.
The two of them flashed to the stone gate. Ku He touched it but couldn't find a way to enter.
This stone door is very smooth. Perhaps because it has been at the bottom of the lake for a long time, there is a lot of moss growing on it, spreading all over it, making the already smooth stone door even more slippery.
Just when Ku He was about to use all his internal energy to blast the stone door into pieces, Li An raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't use brute force!"
Li An, who was paying attention to his surroundings, spoke slowly: "The people who built this place were not simple. How could they not have expected to encounter external forces? I guess if brute force was used, at best it would not be able to break it, and at worst it would cause an unimaginable situation."
Ku He closed his eyes, slowly calmed down, and asked softly: "Is there any other way?"
"Not urgent!"
After observing for a long time, Li An was also recalling his memories of his previous life.
Soon, he noticed the stone that was draining the lake water and the thick iron chains that were inserted into it!
Following Li An's gaze, Ku He also saw the chain. He had an idea in his mind, and after looking at Li An, he walked to both sides, grabbed the chain, and pulled it hard at the same time!
boom!
There was another shaking, and the stone gate slowly rose up!
Looking at the thickness of the stone door and the noise it made, Ku He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed: Fortunately, he did not use brute force. A stone door of this thickness, even if he bombarded it with all his strength, I am afraid that even after the surrounding walls were completely destroyed, the stone door would not be completely penetrated!
Looking at the empty and dark cave entrance, Li An took a deep breath, took out a stack of papers from the system space, slowly ignited them and threw them inside.
All of a sudden, it shot out a long distance.
The fire flashed and illuminated the scenes on both sides - no different from an ordinary cave.
At the same time, there was no change in the burning speed of the paper, and there was no spraying of poisonous gas, which also meant that there was sufficient oxygen in it.
"Master Ku He, I told you before that this is a forbidden door. If you stop here, it's not too late!"
To be honest, Ku He hesitated.
Just the first door leading into the cave is like this. It is hard to imagine what is underneath. Is it something I can bear?
But now that things have come to this, he has no reason to stop as he doesn't have much time left to live.
The only thing that worried him was that if both masters died here, then Northern Qi...
Perhaps seeing his worry, Li An said in a deep voice: "If things can't be done, I am sure I can leave on my own."
"If this situation really happens, please don't worry about me, Mr. Li. The best thing to do is to protect yourself!"
Seeing Li An nod, Ku He smiled and said:
"Let's go!"
