Brother Meng stood up to get water as he spoke, and Su Xuan was curious that there was actually water in this Ancient Tomb.

"Little brother, this should be water from the underground river. In fact, this area used to be an oasis, but it was severely damaged later, and the river dried up. This should be the water from the now-vanished Dark River!"

"Oh, I see!"

Su Xuan nodded, thinking that nature is truly magical, but humans are just too greedy.

Luo Tianyi held a piece of cloth, preparing to wipe Su Xuan’s bleeding and wash it before cleaning his wound again.

"Little brother, not bad, you’re quite the ladies’ man!"

At this moment, Bu Daming sat next to Su Xuan, smirking as he spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Su Xuan asked curiously.

"You’re playing dumb. Look at the lip print on your face, who kissed you? Not bad, such a pretty girl!"

"Lip print!"

Su Xuan wiped his face, rolled his eyes at this guy, and said.

"Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not that charming, and anyway, I already have a bunch of wives. Would this woman even look at me?"

Actually, Su Xuan still thought Bu Daming was pulling his leg, but Bu Daming had sharp eyes and could instantly tell it was a lip print, although it was not very obvious.

"By the way, do you think there are any fish down there?"

Su Xuan looked at the water in the pool and curiously asked.

"Theoretically, there should be, but there’s no fishing rod. You’re not planning to go down and catch fish, are you? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. That’s an underground river down there. If you get swept into the underground river, you’re as good as dead!"

Bu Daming reminded him.

"Yeah, little brother, there’s a Dark River down there. The water is swift, and there might be some unknown creatures too!"

"Unknown creatures, what do you mean?"

Su Xuan asked curiously.

"Zombies! Ahwooo!"

Bu Daming made a scary face, but Su Xuan kicked him to the ground.

"Zombies, my ass! Why don’t you talk about water ghosts instead?"

Just at this moment, Brother Meng had brought over the water to himself.

"Although zombies are impossible, I feel this place might have been deliberately designed as a part of the tomb. Although supposedly for the tomb’s feng shui, there’s another possibility—that there are Cannibal Turtles below, designed to deal with tomb robbers."

"Cannibal Turtles?"

Su Xuan’s eyebrows twitched when he heard this and shouted loudly.

"Tianyi, don’t put the cloth in the water!"

As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, Luo Tianyi, who had just heard Su Xuan calling her name, curiously stood up. At that moment, with a loud crash, a massive wave instantly swept Luo Tianyi directly into the water.

"Damn it!"

Su Xuan shouted loudly, leaping forward with his right foot, and with a buzz, the Heroic Sword instantly unsheathed as his entire body leapt into the air.

"Zheng"

A crisp clashing sound rang out. As Su Xuan swung the sword at the wave, he felt the Heroic Sword vibrate violently as if it had struck the hardest steel plate. Even with the power of the Heroic Sword, he couldn’t break through.

"It’s the Cannibal Turtle, it’s the Cannibal Turtle!"

At this moment, everyone found it hard to believe their eyes. Oh my god, how could it be? It was actually the Cannibal Turtle, and the sword Su Xuan just swung had struck the turtle’s shell.

With a crash, a wave swept Su Xuan along with all the water into the water.

"Flashlights for me!" Bu Daming grabbed two high-beam flashlights and rushed to the water’s edge, throwing one waterproof flashlight into the water and shining the other from above the river.

"Big brother..."

Brother Meng shouted because, at this moment, there was no one on the surface of the river. Brother Meng madly jumped in, shouting.

"Come out, turtle boy, come out, get out!"

Brother Meng quickly dived down but saw no movement at all.

"Ah, ah..."

Brother Meng kept slapping the water’s surface with his hands, while Huo Qiyin looked at the surrounding environment and said.

"Brother Meng, come up quickly. The little brother was probably taken by the current to another chamber. Let’s go find another chamber!"

"Can I go into the current from here?"

"You can’t. The reason they were swept in by the current was that the huge wave created by the Cannibal Turtle swept them in. If you go in, it’s absolutely impossible. Come up quickly, we’ll first find the adjacent chamber!"

Huo Qiyin led the others to quickly search for other chambers, while at this moment, Su Xuan and Luo Tianyi were swept into the water by the huge waves, sliding straight to the bottom. As they descended, Su Xuan caught the flashlight that Bu Daming had thrown to him, holding it in his mouth. With one hand, he quickly grabbed Luo Tianyi’s wrist, and with the other, he tightly held the Heroic Sword, knowing the Cannibal Turtle wouldn’t give up its attack, and he had no idea where this current was taking them.

Suddenly, Su Xuan felt the current around him strengthen rapidly and stabbed backwards with the Heroic Sword almost like lightning.

"Zheng..."

At that moment, Su Xuan felt his sword pierce as if into a steel plate, being bitten by the Cannibal Turtle instantly.

The moment the Cannibal Turtle bit the Heroic Sword, it applied force, dragging Su Xuan and Luo Tianyi deeper underwater. At this speed and power, it seemed intent on taking them straight to the bottom.

Luo Tianyi kept bubbling, almost at her limit, and under such a strong current, she was feeling a bit muddled.

Seeing Su Xuan half-embracing her, she flashed a faint, sad smile on her face, thinking perhaps it was enough to be buried at the bottom of the lake with someone she loved.

As Luo Tianyi was ready to stop struggling, Su Xuan let go of the flashlight from his mouth, opened his left palm to take it, and the next moment, Luo Tianyi felt a warmth on her lips, followed by a pure surge of oxygen entering her body, immediately relieving the burning sensation about to burst in her lungs from lack of air.

Indeed, Su Xuan was transferring some of his oxygen to Luo Tianyi by mouth.

For Su Xuan, even staying underwater for an hour wouldn’t be fatal. This little turtle really overestimated its abilities, thinking it could suffocate him.

After giving Luo Tianyi a few gulps of oxygen, Su Xuan focused his Dark Strength into his palm. In the next moment, with a bang, the Dark Strength exploded through the Heroic Sword in the Cannibal Turtle’s mouth, shattering a tooth instantly. Su Xuan quickly freed the Heroic Sword, then slashed diagonally, with a swish, cutting off one of its feet at once.

"Hold tight!"

Su Xuan said, immediately feeling a force pull him and Luo Tianyi inside. He knew they had probably hit the Dark River; it was much larger than he had imagined.
