Master of Soul-Building - C306 water-repellent pearl
Right at this moment, the sound of a horse galloping could be heard. The two dragon flags in the golden-eyed Biao’s hands fluttered left and right, and in a short while, a huge wave was formed.
The huge wave caused the visibility under the water to be extremely low. Fortunately, the palace under the water had two big eyes that seemed as if they would never go out. They could barely hold on to the light.
Golden Eye Biao pointed towards the underwater palace before us and led the way in. Fangge and I followed closely behind.
As soon as we stepped over the top of the wall into the palace, we heard a roar and turned to look at the sixteen black monsters that had stopped in front of the palace.
From the looks of it, these divine beasts could only stay at the entrance of the palace. Their mission was to not stray from their duties and enter the palace.
I originally didn’t intend to come to this place, but things have already gotten to this point, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the underground palace, which is also known as the Underwater Palace.
However, it was actually not that big. If one were to calculate it based on the normal area, then at most one would be in the front, one in the back, and two in the back.
However, the entire palace’s buildings were carved and decorated like a magnificent dragon and dancing phoenix. According to the geographical position, they were all fighting to their hearts’ content, from the spinal beasts to the chamber beam s, they were all inlaid with bright pearls and colorful jade.
There was a pattern that only emperors could have.
It seemed that Sun Zhongmou had built this palace in the past for more than just this treasure.
They probably already had the ambition to dominate the thirteen prefectures of the big guy back then.
We used the lighting equipment we had on us to walk inside. It was strange to say that the place outside the palace was already covered by the river water.
However, there was no water in the palace and it was astonishingly dry.
Jin Xiao Biao made a gesture with his hand and made a bead shape. He immediately understood that this was most likely because of the Water Avoiding Pearl of the Eight Treasures 12 Well.
This Water Repelling Pearl was also known as the Water Protecting Pearl. Legend has it that in the four seas, four of them can split the water into rivers. With this bead in your mouth, the water of the four seas must not be violated.
Placing this pearl within the Twelve Geyser of the Eight Treasures probably also referred to this principle.
He pushed open the door of the palace. In the center of the room was a dragon desk, which was glowing with a five-colored light. There were different kinds of curtains on the left and right sides, and the four corners of the house were filled with four coiling dragon pillars.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
The object placed on top of the Dragon Book table was most likely the legendary Eight Treasures — Twelve Channels.
When the two of them saw this thing, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement. They did not have time to say anything else and immediately rushed forward, preparing to snatch the Eight Treasures 12 Well.
Fangge was wearing a stealth uniform made in Germany. Because he had webbed feet, he walked slightly slower, and that golden-eyed tiger’s body was completely empty. It only had a small jade in its mouth.
He reached his hand in desperately, but not for long. Even golden-eyed Biao was stunned as he turned to look at Fangge behind him.
“Fuck, how did we forget about that bastard Feng Si?”
When Fangge heard this, he seemed to be caught off guard, and immediately rushed to the front of the Eight Treasures 12 Well, taking a look inside, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
I was stunned. That object was around one meter tall, and it was a square shaped. It was divided into 12 layers, and it looked like a well.
There were countless pearls and beautiful jade on it, and even it was made of gold.
This thing was just placed there, what does it have to do with Feng Si?
I didn’t say anything more. Jin Xiao Biao pushed open the door to the first floor. There was a toad on the first floor. Its body was golden and there were colourful gems on its surface.
It looked like this item was not cheap, but Fangge and Gold-eyed Tiger seemed to not care about it at all, and with a light push, they put it back.
After finishing all the work on the 12th floor, they cursed in anger:
“Feng Si this f * cker, f * ck your grandmother.”
I then realised that the thing they were looking for was the legendary Psychic Jade, who would have known that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole, who would have thought that they would have spent so much effort to get here. The thing that Feng Si had probably already taken away from them.
Feng Si was truly worthy of being called someone else, as long as it was called Master Feng, he would never think that this person would always be on the ground crawling and fighting, even with techniques of diving into the water to retrieve treasures.
Seeing that, the two of them became flustered, but the thing had already been taken away, and Feng Si did not even know where he went. Even if they were angry, there was no place for them to go.
The two of them didn’t think too much about it and pushed open the rest of the eleventh floor. After splitting the items in each floor, their gazes finally fell on the two pearls on top of the Water Avoiding Pearl and the Dust Avoiding Pearl.
Fangge reacted quickly and immediately snatched the Water Repellent Pearl. The golden-eyed man was neither proud nor dissatisfied. He spat out the little jade in his mouth and said:
“To be honest, I really don’t plan to take this pearl. The pearl that I’m talking about is also a treasure to avoid water. Since I have this pearl, I’ll give it to you.”
Before he could finish his words, Jin Wu Biao took over the dust proof pearl, leaving behind only an empty Eight Treasures Twelve Well.
It was entirely made of gold and was considered a hard currency no matter what era it was in. However, compared to the things inside, this gold was simply worthless trash.
Therefore, no one present was interested in the structure of this gold.
In the midst of our excitement, we suddenly heard a rumbling sound in our ears.
That sound was like the roar of an animal, but I didn’t know what kind of animal it came from. It sounded like the howl of a cow, but it was several times more powerful than the roar of a tiger.
Finally, the Fangge looked at us and said to the rest:
“Fellow brothers, the Golden Claw below has probably eaten its fill and drunk its fill. It is going to turn over and wait for his body to finish rolling, then the Gusankou’s water will be ready. Let’s leave now, don’t stay for too long.”
Hearing this, I didn’t dare to hesitate any longer. I immediately stuffed the oxygen supply into my mouth, ready to use my webbed feet to sneak up.
But before I could take a step upstream, I saw a whirlpool rise up in the water and I was immediately caught up in it.
Fortunately, Goldmane quickly reached out his hand to grab me and pulled me over. However, the oxygen bottle on my back fell to the other side and slowly sank into the water.
