Chapter Nineteen: The Secret Passage

  Qiao Mu shouted, and finally turned his head, puzzled: "What's wrong?" However, before he could say the word "what", Da Yu rushed over.

  "Ah, pain!" Fat Dong wailed, his back was scratched by the big fish's reverse scales, revealing several deep blood marks. Not only that, due to the huge impact, Fat Dong couldn't hold onto the snake king for a moment and fell off. At the same time, the big fish discovered Fat Dong as its target, turned around and rushed towards him. That ferocious bloody mouth was estimated to be able to swallow Fat Dong whole.

  "East!!" Things happened too suddenly, Qiao Mu Si didn't even have time to save him, he could only stare blankly as Pang Dong fell. "Oh, no..." Qiao Mu Si covered his eyes with one hand, his face filled with despair, and the corners of his eyes had faint tears. Could it be that a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years would fall before his very own eyes?!

  At this thought, Jormungandr could no longer hold back. Even if he couldn't save him, even if he himself would fall into the lake, he had to try! With a surge of determination, Jormungandr steadied his body, adjusted his angle, and tried to use the snake king's body to jump to the side of the fat Dong.

  But just as he was about to take action, something unexpected happened.

  A white shadow "whooshed" down to the lower part of Bao Dong, firmly embracing him. Immediately afterwards, the white shadow turned around and flew towards the snake segment where Qiao Mu Si was located. The speed at which the white shadow flew was very fast, with a long streak of light behind it.

  "Come, give me your hand!" The white shadow roared a sentence, Jorms was stunned, and hastily handed over his hand. A long-forgotten sense of land floated in his mind, and Jorms suddenly realized that he, Fat Dong, and the mysterious white shadow had stopped at the other end of the lake.

  "You are..." Chom was about to ask, but unexpectedly, the white shadow flashed and flew onto the battlefield of Fish and Snake. He exchanged a glance with Fat Dong, both seeing the puzzlement in each other's eyes: who was this mysterious person who had saved them?

  Fat Dong's face showed a strange expression, and he muttered, "Could it be Yu Zi?" Qiao Mu Si listened and suddenly felt enlightened. Because he noticed that the light trail left behind by the white shadow when flying was very similar to the beam emitted by their emergency flight device. "Right! How could I forget about the emergency flight device? I'm so stupid!" Qiao Mu Si slapped his forehead, his face full of shame. If he had remembered earlier, Fat Dong wouldn't have been in such a precarious situation.

  But Pang Dong himself was in trouble. When he woke up inside the pyramid, he found that his spacesuit had been stripped off and replaced with a "mummy suit".

  "Alas!" Jom exclaimed, just as he was about to apologize to Bao Dong, when a series of earth-shattering explosions came from the battlefield of Fish and Snake.

  The two of them were stunned and quickly shifted their gaze forward. As soon as they looked up, the two of them were shocked to the point where their jaws almost dropped.

  But in the dim light, a white shadow spewed out flowing light and floated. Under him (her), the big man-eating fish had its skull blown up, while the black-bellied snake king was cut into two segments, floating on the water surface.

  Who would have thought that the great war between fish and snakes would end like this!

  Fat Dong rubbed his eyes, shocked and said: "Qiao, Qiao Mu Si, I didn't see it wrong, the man-eating fish and the black-bellied snake king were actually... killed by Ruo Zi." Fat Dong opened his big mouth, pointing at the white shadow and then at himself, with an incredulous face.

  Jiǎo Mǔsī also stunned for a moment, but unlike Pàng Dōng, he quickly calmed down. He narrowed his eyes and stared motionlessly at the white shadow suspended in mid-air. After a long while, he let out a long breath, and a hint of strange color flashed across his eyes.

  "That's not Ruo Zi," Qiao Mu said with a pat on Pang Dong's shoulder. "Huh?!" Pang Dong first nodded, then reacted and looked surprised: "Qiao, you say that's not Ruo Zi, who else could it be... no way?!"

  The chubby Dong, who was organizing languages, suddenly had an epiphany and a scene flashed in his mind, where a pink protective film flickered.

  Not bad, Pang Dong thought of it, and it was indeed Fang Kai.

  Fat Dong suddenly realized, Qiao Mu Si nodded slightly. At this moment, a white shadow flew back in front of the two. Upon closer inspection, the white shadow was Fang Kai, who had been unconscious for a long time due to injury.

  "Brother, you finally arrived!" Fat Dong was the most enthusiastic, quickly stepping forward and tightly hugging Fang Ke, making the latter laugh and cry at the same time. Qiao Mu shook his head, he was naturally calm and wouldn't learn from Fat Dong's "brotherly love". However, seeing that Fang Ke was fine, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter in his heart.

  After all, Fang Kai was injured in order to break through the vortex and create a new life, his ability is worthy of recognition.

  Qiao Mu Si gave Fang Kai a thumbs up and smiled: "Kai, are your injuries all healed?"

  Fang Kai just smiled and pushed Peng Dong away, then put away the emergency flight device, saying calmly: "It's all right, when I woke up and saw the metal ring pink membrane, I guessed you went down. So I climbed down too, later I saw a bunch of black-bellied snakes coiled at the lake edge, and then heard the snake king's angry roar, so I knew you were in trouble. That's why I opened the emergency flight device to find you."

  Fang Kai spread out his hands, and the whole story had been told.

  "Haha, Kai, you're really awesome, taking down two big monsters by yourself. Uh, can you teach me how you did it? I remember the pulse cannon wasn't that powerful." Pang Dong wiped his palms together with a sly grin. Who would have thought this guy could become a Star War special forces soldier?"

  Actually, it's not just Pong Dong, even Qiao Mu Si is very curious. Logically speaking, although the pulse gun is very powerful, a person can only control one at a time, how can you kill two huge monsters in an instant? Unless, unless the pulse gun can fire twice at once, each shot in a different direction, but that's impossible!

  Chomsky furrowed his brow and racked his brains but couldn't get any results.

  At this time, Fang Kai coughed and waved his hand: "Nothing much, I just used a pulse gun, but I added this." As he spoke, Fang Kai took out an object from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Mu Si and Pang Dong. The two looked carefully and found that it was actually a metal ring!

  Jorms slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened: "I understand! The metal ring not only releases a defensive light film but also has the function of adjusting the frequency band. You narrowed down the frequency band, thereby increasing the frequency of the pulse beam and strengthening the attack. So that's it, so that's it!" Jorms was very excited, his emotions more intense than discovering a new continent.

  Fat Dong was unclear, but he just felt that his head was foggy and misty. He still couldn't help but punch Fang Kai once, grinning: "Good guy, you really have it."

  "Haha..." Fang Kai smiled, then seemed to remember something and frowned: "Qiao Mu Si, Pang Dong, since the three of us are reunited again, why don't we set off immediately to find Ruo Zi? Just now when I was flying, I saw that under our feet this piece of 'land', in front should be the exit."

  Fang Kai pointed to the black area where the light from the lamp could not reach, and said faintly.

  "Alright! Chomus, let's listen to Kei and move forward together. This time, we must find Ruo Tzu. As long as the four of us gather, the possibility of finding the Crystal Warrior's remains will undoubtedly increase several times. Let's go!" Pang Dong rubbed his fists and took the lead in moving forward. He was already familiar with this task to the point where he couldn't be more familiar.

  Seeing this, Fang Kai and Qiao Mu Si exchanged a glance and hastily followed, the three of them couldn't get separated again.

  The two shores of the Ink Green Lake are different, one is made up of human bones, which Fang Kai and others call "White Desert". The other side is real "land", but this "land" is all formed by sediment accumulation. Because the temperature and humidity in various places are different, the sediment that has been transformed into "land" also has a distinction between dryness and wetness.

  The entire "ground" was not large, with only one dark passage, and the mud in this dark passage was soft and wet. Fang Kai and his two companions walked inside, leaving a footprint with each step, their bodies covered in dirt. They didn't dare to use too much force, but they couldn't help using some force, so their progress was very slow. What annoyed them most was that the material of the dark passage had an absorbing quality, almost completely absorbing the light emitted by their lamps.

  The three of them had no choice but to use their hands, feeling the dark passageway's sidewall, and slowly made their way forward. It was just as the saying goes: "Crossing the river by feeling for stones!"

  "Jomus, Pang Dong, don't you feel that the more we move forward, our bodies are sinking down?" Suddenly, Fang Kai stopped in his tracks and asked suspiciously. Jomus nodded in agreement, while Pang Dong also stopped and turned around, saying: "Yes, I feel like the mud under my feet is sinking down too, what's going on?"
