Chapter 358 The Elder of Dayan Huazong?

The waterway was pitch black, the paths were intricate and narrow, and the accessories on Zhao Qiu's clothes flashed a not-so-weak glow, illuminating the surroundings, and were the only source of light.

She had prepared very well for this trip. Water ghosts are very good at swimming, and they have great strength under water, and their kung fu is not bad.

During the dive, in addition to the greatly reduced vision, the cold water, and the rugged rocks, there are also various potential dangers.

There is a kind of fish here, called reef fish, which is blue and white in color. It bites people when it sees them, and its teeth are extremely sharp. It can bite off stones and easily break bones.

This is the biggest danger of this trip. Many of the first group of people who dived died at the hands of this fish, but facing this fish, the Wang and Zhao families in this town are not without countermeasures.

When the pit suddenly appeared that day, it attracted countless people to watch and caused heated discussions in the city. The Wang and Zhao families, who received the news, sent people to investigate. After a preliminary understanding of the situation, the heads of the Wang and Zhao families set out to explore in person. After arriving at the scene, they immediately determined that the pit must be extraordinary, or there might be ruins and ancient tombs.

The reason why they could guess this place immediately was because the heads of these two families started out as black market merchants when they were young.

The most important thing about this way of prolonging life is the "source of goods", and only rare and unique things can complete the act of stealing lives during the transaction process, so they often shuttle between various ancient places and ruins...

Over time, they have an almost keen perception of unusual things.

So, when a sudden collapse occurred in the middle of the street in this town, and a deep and narrow passage appeared, they blocked it and sent people to explore.

After they could not break through the "reef fish" level.

They sent people to catch a reef fish, took it to the White Region, spent a lot of money, and asked a large company to help them mix the strange fragrance that could drive away the reef fish.

This is the countermeasure.

I saw that the three people encountered a school of reef fish head-on during their dive.

The water ghost was frightened. The reef fish had no eyes and protruding fangs, which looked very scary.

The water ghost approached Zhao Qiu without hesitation. Zhao Qiu looked proud and glanced at the water ghost. He took out a crystal bottle from his arms slowly.

She opened it gently.

A strange flower fragrance instantly overflowed. A protective circle with a radius of about three meters was formed.

Li Changxiao also swam into the protective circle.

Zhao Qiu noticed the movement, glanced at him, and quickly retracted his gaze, turning his attention to the reef fish school that was approaching from far away.

In a few breaths.

The reef fish school had swam to the front.

Zhao Qiu and others all held their breath. The breathing here was different from the breathing on land.

The water ghost had mastered a breathing method that could breathe underwater.

Before entering the water, Zhao Qiu took some medicine that could absorb oxygen in the water.

Li Changxiao didn't need to go through all that trouble. He took a deep breath and didn't care if water entered his lungs.

He wanted to experience the feeling of drowning, but it was a pity that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to die.

The reef fish surrounded the light circle and never dared to come in. Finally, they turned around and swam away.

Zhao Qiu and the water ghost breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Li Changxiao saw it and suddenly became curious, so he touched the light circle with his hand.

He pinched a little with his fingers.

It seemed to be some kind of powder.

Zhao Qiu opened the bottle just now. The light circle composed of fluorescent powder seemed to be inspired by something and began to gather towards her bottle little by little, and was finally taken in.

"Miss Zhao, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise when the fish came just now, we would definitely be dead!"

The water ghost was full of gratitude and made a famous gesture in the water.

"Haha." Zhao Qiu sneered a little.

She looked down on this water ghost from the bottom of her heart.

Or, she was now at an age where her eyes were high and she looked down on everyone.

Including Li Changxiao who was standing beside him.

Although he was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, he was surrounded by pretense, like the moon covered by clouds, which made it very easy for people to ignore or feel indifferent.

Li Changxiao was not deliberately concealing it.

It was something that happened naturally when he reached this level of cultivation.

However, this layer of fake clothes was very thin, just like a layer of sandpaper.

Sometimes, it might be just a shiver or a sudden attack on attention, and the vague pretense would disappear in an instant.

By then, it would be like clearing the clouds and seeing the bright moon.

Zhao Qiu pointed to a fork in the road ahead. There was a small mark at the fork. It was left by the front exploration team.

As far as Zhao Qiu knew, they were the nineteenth group of the team that went underwater for exploration. The first ten of the eighteen groups had a high loss rate, and most of them sank to the bottom of the water. The last eight groups were much better. There were injured, but no one died.

We were almost at our destination.

The three of them sped up and swam over. After passing the fork in the road, they saw a round stone door.

Zhao Qiu glanced at the water ghost, who nodded, swam to the round stone door, and pushed it forward.

The round stone door revealed a hole, and the water flow found an outlet and rushed towards the stone door, followed by a huge suction force.

The three of them swam through the hole effortlessly and landed on the ground.

After passing the stone door, the interior of the site was not soaked by the water below.

The three of them worked together to close the stone door and block the fast-flowing water.

The diving operation has finally come to an end.

Zhao Qiu and the water ghost began to breathe heavily. Obviously, this journey just now was not easy for them. Li Changxiao expressed his understanding, because according to his estimation, this place should be several thousand meters deep from the surface.

Normal people would be in danger of life if they dived a few hundred meters.

The deeper you go, the more the huge water pressure will press on your internal organs, leaving nowhere to hide.

The water ghost has mastered a set of breathing methods to avoid most of the water pressure. Zhao Qiu is well-equipped and has taken a lot of strange medicines in advance.

In addition, the two people have strong physiques, and the physique of martial artists is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

This is how they can dive so deep.

However, it can also be seen from this.

Whether it is the water ghost or Zhao Qiu, these two people probably have a martial arts foundation, and they probably have walked a lot of orifices.

After Zhao Qiu rested well, she suddenly noticed something strange on her body. Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she pointed at the two people and asked them to turn around.

After the two turned around, the sound of changing clothes came from behind.

After a while, the beautiful woman had changed her clothes, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail, slim-fitting pants, and black boots.

She looked a little more heroic.

She had a long sword on her waist.

With this outfit, Li Changxiao saw some shadows of his old friend in her.

As for the water ghost, he was not so well prepared, so he could only continue to move forward with wet clothes.

Li Changxiao stretched his waist, looked at Zhao Qiu, smiled slightly, and asked, "Little girl, what is your relationship with Dayan Huazong?"

Zhao Qiu looked over and looked Li Changxiao up and down.

In her eyes, the man who had just asked the question looked ordinary, and there seemed to be nothing special to pay attention to.

He didn't look very powerful either.

She replied indifferently: "What's the relationship? What does it have to do with you?"

"Take money from others, help them get rid of disasters, do what you should do, and don't ask too much."

As she said that, she lowered her head and began to organize some clothes, folded some wet bellybands, shoes and socks, and put them into a green brocade bag on her waist. The brocade bag was made of special materials. It seemed to be only the size of a fist, but it could hold a lot of things and seemed to have waterproof effects. Li Changxiao was a little tempted when he saw it, and he would get one to play with someday.

"What a difficult young lady." The water ghost couldn't help sighing when he saw Zhao Qiu's style of doing things, and then murmured aside: "There's nothing I can do. Who can blame her for having a good life? That pendant is enough for me to fight for a lifetime."

There was a bit of sourness in the words.

"The powder that drove away the reef fish just now was made by Dayan Huazong?" Li Changxiao ignored Zhao Qiu's tone and asked again with interest.

A trace of impatience flashed in Zhao Qiu's eyes.

The water ghost beside him explained to Li Changxiao: "Brother, you guessed right."

"The Wang and Zhao families jointly invested in Dayan Huazong to prepare fish repellent powder, which is said to be able to repel all the fish in the world."

"But... the price, it seems that Dayan Huazong is also very interested in this site and wants to get a share of it."

"It is said that several elders led their teams to dive into this place."
