C81 (1/2)

What sixty-four palaces? I was there in a fog, like I was listening to a divine book. My father had no intention of explaining himself. He calmly took a deep breath and continued.

The three of them were not novices, but they did not relax after entering the entrance. On the contrary, they furrowed their brows as they saw the situation in front of them.

The entrance that they had found was right beside the pool, and they had thought that it might be a sudden situation due to an infiltration or something, but the scene in front of them was clearly not what they had thought it would be.

In front of him was a ”water curtain”. The speed of the water flow was not fast, as the water droplets dripped sporadically. There was a red line at the bottom of the water flow.

The penetrating power of the flashlight was very strong. The color of the water droplets had a faint red hue. Uninterested, my dad put on a pair of rubber gloves, took a teaspoon and dropped it onto a piece of tissue paper, where it made a big hole with a whoosh.

This drop of water was extremely corrosive, but it was the only entrance. If the stone wall beside them collapsed or the liquid splattered, they would have to wait for death. The mission would not be completed.

They are not stupid people. Since I can't walk through the main entrance, wouldn't it be fine if I just punch a hole through the water wall from above?

Combined with the pool above, this mechanism did not operate a mechanism at all. There was no room for destruction. My dad took a look and saw that the water was coming from a red brick that had been stuffed into it. There were eight small holes in the brick, and the water came out of the holes rubbing against the red.

My father didn't dare to be careless. The Song family stood up on the ground and looked again, then shook his head and gave up on the idea of opening up a hole from above.

The entrance was at the edge of the pond, so it didn't directly touch the surface of the water. However, if it was blown up, the water nearby would undoubtedly be poured into the tunnel along with the soil. If a large piece of red was washed away and mixed with the water, they might as well not go in.

After all these years of not having finished dripping, the depth of this corrosive substance was not too shallow. It was difficult to dilute the water.

The current wasn't sad at all. They all had tarps on their bodies that could be used to support their heads. But what if there was such a thing up ahead? This path twisted and turned. The light from the flashlight could not reach it, but from the sound, there was more than one stream of water. How big was the entire pool? If something happened while they were halfway there, then they wouldn't be able to move forward and they would have no way out!

They thought about it, then decided to take out the ductile metal folding board. They could only try to break through. They could not destroy this type of mechanism that was created by nature.

The metal folding board was divided into two layers. The upper and lower layer was made of bright silver metal, while the middle layer was made of a layer of high hardness plastic.

The three of them held onto the handles of the plates, careful not to let their bodies exceed the outside of the plates. Even so, they still had to be careful of the water drops that bounced off the plates.

As they passed through the barrier, a thin layer of water quickly corroded the metal. However, when they turned around, they could see countless more of these things in front of them.

They gritted their teeth. After fifteen strikes, the metal had already been corroded until there were holes in it. A large amount of red water poured down from the surface, revealing a somewhat bumpy surface.

This was unavoidable. If the water current only passed over the surface, it wouldn't cause too much damage, but how would they have time to pour it all the way here? It was still the empty space in front of him that made him stop and take a breath.

This piece of plastic is dead. Fortunately, the Song family still had two pieces in Lin Zhenji's bag. Otherwise, he would have no idea what would happen if he went back the way he came.

They were all from the same profession, so when considering issues, they naturally hoped that the lower the damage, the better. As for blasting holes in the ground, even if it wasn't done, they couldn't be bothered with it.

It was very quiet as they walked forward. Three flashlights locked onto a route and three pairs of eyes stared at the road ahead without blinking. The green bricks under their feet were completely intact, as they were far away from the corrosive red liquid. My father and the others safely stepped onto it. Only at the end of this road did they have no choice but to stop and start thinking of a way to continue.

When I heard this, I felt a surge of blood. He thought to himself, That doesn't sound too dangerous. In the Pingji mountain, we are two steps, one part, five steps, one puppet. We can't wait to have seven or eight pairs of eyes to observe the road, and we can't be more careful when stepping on the brick.

After I sighed with emotion, the corner of my father's mouth twitched. He said seriously, ”The real danger is not in the hidden arrows but in the open guns. Why? The only difference is whether you know it or not. The same secret mechanism would be useless. At most, he could focus on preparing for an attack, but it wouldn't matter if he was prepared. But a spear? Even if you know it's there, there's nothing you can do about it. The next time you encounter the same trap, you'll still have to be honest about it. ”

”So you have to remember this in the future — the real terror is not being all-pervasive, but when you look, you can only watch, no matter how itchy your heart is, you can only stare.”

I nodded.

Seeing that I had been taught a lesson, Dad moved his cheeks in relief and went on.

At the end of this path was a calm and peaceful pool. The surface was calm, but not very smooth. There were small particles on it, as well as dust that would fall onto it the day after tomorrow. That was not water, but wax.

My heart skipped a beat. The pond Wei Yuting fell into previously was also sealed with a layer of wax. I asked, ”Then, what are you going to do next?”

My father glared at me and said resentfully, ”How dare you?”
