Chapter 631 Undersea Coral Tree

As soon as he entered the passage, Chen Ziyan observed it first. After confirming that the walls on both sides were made of ordinary Qinggang stone bricks and there were no carvings or murals, he decisively sped up his pace.

This passage was unknown to him to some extent, as it was not described in the original plot. So in order to avoid unnecessary complications, Chen Ziyan did not plan to stay here for too long.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would encounter the same trap that Wu Xie and his friends encountered in the original plot. He couldn't guarantee that he could escape in the same way, so it was better to be cautious.

Although the others didn't know what Chen Ziyan was thinking, they had already gotten used to following him along the way, so they all sped up.

After walking for a while, Chen Ziyan found that they seemed to be moving upwards little by little, but because the rise was very slight, he did not feel it at the beginning.

This made Chen Ziyan secretly wonder if the end of this passage might be under the sea.

Originally, he had always thought that the space just now was the highest point of the entire underwater tomb. After all, in the original plot, Wu Xie and others left the tomb by blasting through the dome.

But now the direction they were heading was getting higher and higher, which made him doubt it. Could it be that the next place they were going to arrive at was at a higher terrain?

This is not some groundless speculation. Putting aside other things, the road under his feet is the best proof.

After walking for a distance, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized something and stopped.

"Master Chen, is there something wrong?"

Seeing this, the guy following behind immediately asked in a low voice.

At the same time, he did not forget to look forward, trying to find out why Chen Ziyan suddenly stopped.

Chen Ziyan didn't pay attention to their actions, but said solemnly: "Our brother who was exploring the way is missing!"

He had been thinking about something just now, so he subconsciously ignored this point. It was only now that he realized that the guy who had led the way ahead of them was missing.

Moreover, the other guys who came to explore the way never showed up.

"hiss!"

After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the others also thought of this. When they realized what this meant, they all took a breath.

This is not a trivial matter. After all, it was not only Chen Ziyan who ignored this, they also did not remember it.

If only one person ignored it, that would be understandable, but if no one remembered it, that would be a different matter.

"Do you smell anything?" Chen Ziyan sniffed and asked.

Just like breaking through a barrier, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him became much more vivid. The most obvious change was that there was a hint of fragrance in the air.

Although the smell was light, it was deep and gave him a sense of mystery.

But because of what happened before, Chen Ziyan was not sure whether this was just his illusion.

He suspected that he and others might have entered into a hallucination, so he asked others.

Reminded by Chen Ziyan, the others quickly sniffed and also noticed the fragrance in the air.

The fragrance was very strange. If you didn't smell it deliberately, you wouldn't notice it at all, so they hadn't noticed it before.

Forbidden woman? After making sure that everyone had smelled the fragrance, Chen Ziyan frowned slightly.

The fragrance reminded him of another kind of tomb-guarding beast in the underwater tomb, the forbidden woman he had met when he came in.

Although he had never come into contact with the forbidden woman, he knew that this thing would emit a faint fragrance. Although it was not as obvious as when it was burned, there would be traces of it in the place where it lived.

So the first thing Chen Ziyan thought of was the Jinpo. After all, it was unlikely that a second creature with similar characteristics would appear in this underwater tomb.

"Let's keep going and take a look ahead," Chen Ziyan said in a deep voice after a moment's silence.

He couldn't be sure whether all this was caused by the Jinpo, but there was one thing he was sure of, that was they only had two paths before them, that was to move forward or to retreat. If they didn't want to retreat, then they had no choice but to move forward.

There was no way that Chen Ziyan would be willing to retreat like this, so naturally he had only one way to go, which was to move forward.

The others also understood this logic, so they all nodded in agreement.

This time they were faster. Although not yet at the level of running, they were already at the level of sprinting.

The road ahead was still calm, but the slope was getting steeper and steeper, which made Chen Ziyan more and more confused.

Because he made a rough estimate that they were probably only a short distance away from the sea surface, and they could probably just dig a hole and get out, which was completely different from what he had originally expected.

However, Chen Ziyan's doubts did not last long, because they finally reached the end of the passage.

How to describe the space that appeared before their eyes? It looked like an undecorated natural cave.

It can be clearly seen through the beam of the searchlight that the floor, walls and ceiling of this space are all made of stone, and they are all integrated into one. This is why he said that this is a natural stone cave.

His sight followed the beam of the searchlight, and soon the specific situation of the space was within his sight.

There is nothing much to say about this cave. It is completely empty. Apart from something that looks like a coral tree at the deepest part, there is nothing else.

As for those guys who had disappeared, they did not appear here, so there was no need to say more, everyone else could guess what happened to them.

It is precisely for this reason that, even though there was nothing in the space in front of them, everyone, including Chen Ziyan, did not let down their guard and kept an eye out for any movement around them.

After a round of inspection, Chen Ziyan slowly walked towards the coral tree at the deepest part of the space.

When the full picture of the coral tree appeared in front of him, Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something familiar to him.

What appeared before his eyes was a huge white coral tree, which was two people tall and had a total of twelve branches. These branches were scattered, so it looked like a tree.

At the end of each branch, there are some golden bells hanging. However, judging from the green rust in the gaps between these bells, the real material of these bells should be brass, but the surface has been gilded, so it has this glossiness.

The most important thing is that Chen Ziyan discovered that the white coral tree in front of him was extremely similar to the copper coral tree he found at the snake mine.

Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same, it is about 80% similar.

Obviously, there is a close connection between the two.

What Chen Ziyan didn't see was that after seeing the coral tree, some people in the team had a flash of horror in their eyes.
