Chapter 1901: The Situation Is Critical
Both of them crouched on the stone blocks and fingered the cracks inch by inch before touching the bluestone on the two walls.
However, they weren’t able to feel anything out even after a good amount of time. The water inside the corridor was about to reach the bottom of their feet.
It had to be known that everybody was currently hovering in the air.
Therefore, the water current was almost about to reach their ankles at a horrifying speed in the span of several short minutes.
When the entire corridor got submerged in this icy water, everybody could only protect themselves with their defensive barriers, as well as fight against the monstrous fishes in the water.
They would pay a heavy price in that kind of environment.
Afterall, defensive barriers would not protect them without limit either. If the monstrous fishes were to tear open a crack, then the entire mystic weapon would go to waste.
“Quickly find it!” You Xin panicked when she saw that the water had already reached her ankles as she stooped on the stone block.
At this time, a student from Sunlight Academy climbed onto the bluestone wall nearby and exclaimed in surprise, “Come look quickly, there’s a ring to pull on here.”
The people standing below were simply unable to see it.
…
That student was only able to see this ring pull on the bluestone wall when he hovered to the ceiling of the corridor.
Mo Lian and Feng Chen’s eyelids jerked uncontrollably.
Before Qiao Mu could blurt out “Wait,” that dummy gave a hard pull.
*RRRumble!!* The sounds of a cranking mechanism came from deep within the tomb.
A round hole abruptly appeared in the bluestone wall beside the student.
...
Suddenly, a monstrous fish abruptly shuttled out from within and bit that person’s neck.
“Ahh! Cough, ugh! Uh-ugh.” That person struggled to break free, but he was unable to retaliate.
The monstrous fish bit off half of the Sunlight Academy student’s head with a chomp, and fresh blood flowed down the bluestone wall into the icy water.
The monstrous fishes got triggered by the blood and all jumped out of the water, chomping at the people’s legs.
Qi Xuanxuan, the little fatty, and them quickly steadied themselves, doing their best to hover against the bluestone ceiling. Qi Xuanxuan was groping along the ceiling, and she reflexively pulled on something she discovered.
“Don’t pull!” Qiao Mu keenly saw that Qi Xuanxuan was also holding on to a ring pull.
This ring pull was made out of bronze and painted with the color of stone, making it camouflage perfectly with the bluestone wall.
You simply couldn’t discern that there was a ring pull there when you didn’t pull on it.
But when you touched it, people would just pull on it due to all kinds of unfathomable reasons, whether it be from curiosity or a survival instinct…
Qi Xuanxuan’s pet.i.te hand froze just like this on the spot. She didn’t know whether she should keep holding on or let go of that ring pull.
Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, and Feng Chen hastily drifted over and examined this ring pull on the uppermost ceiling.
Meanwhile, that monstrous fish had finished feasting on the Sunlight Academy student’s remaining corpse. It then rapidly swam over to the stone blocks where You Xin and He Wei were.
You Xin’s expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, using all her might to strike the monstrous fish with mystic energy.
*Bam!* Yet the monstrous fish did not slow down at all. Instead, it bit toward You Xin at an even more abnormal speed.
At the moment of imminent peril, Sunlight Academy’s mentor threw out a wood vine!
