Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1241 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-One) Underground

Tie Hongyan quickly used the Phantom Tassel Spear to prop herself up and leaped upwards, so as not to fall down. However, this action caused a sharp pain in her wounds, but in order not to attract others and not to make a sound, she clenched the hand that did not hold the Phantom Tassel Spear, and her nails pierced the flesh on the palm of her hand.

As she jumped up, a voice came from below: "Young Patriarch, it's me, Le Yu!"

Although the voice was small and Tie Hongyan heard it when she jumped up, she still recognized at once that it was indeed Le Yue's voice.

She stood near the previous sinking place, facing the other direction, and glanced at the ground with her peripheral vision, and found a hole in the ground.

"If there's no one else around, could the young patriarch come in?" Le Yu said.

As she spoke, she deliberately let Tie Hongyan see part of herself, but at the same time she did not raise herself above the ground so as not to be discovered by others.

Tie Hongyan knew that the person below was Le Yu. She looked around as if nothing had happened, made sure again that there was no one else, and then quickly put it down her mouth.

When Tie Hongyan went down, Le Yu quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her down to prevent her from being discovered. Tie Hongyan felt a sharp pain in her wound again, but she still couldn't make a sound and could only endure it. After Le Yu let her go, she was still in great pain and clenched the hand that didn't hold the Phantom Tassel Spear, her nails digging into the flesh of her palm again.

The hole that the iron flame passed through when it went down had a lid, and there was an axis on one side of the lid, which was connected to a very hard object on the ground next to it through the axis. When the hole was opened, the lid was drooping downwards.

After the iron red flame went down, Le Yu pushed a mechanism, and the lid flipped upwards, sealing the opening tightly.

The lid is not made of common materials, and the effect it can achieve is not something that common materials can achieve.

There is a thick soil-like substance on the lid. Although it looks no different from the soil on the ground around it, it is not real soil. Instead, it is a strange substance. The soil-like substance seems to be sucked onto the lid and will not fall off when the lid is opened or closed.

After the lid seals the opening, the area where the lid is located can blend into the surrounding ground. If someone who doesn't know about this opening comes here, they can't see that there is a lid, nor can they know that there is actually nothing underneath. What's even more amazing is that when someone steps on the strange thing on the lid, even if they take a few steps, the lid doesn't make people feel that there is nothing underneath, nor does it make the kind of sound that would easily make people feel that there is nothing underneath.

When the lid, which is not made of common materials, is closed, the underground world becomes very quiet. People underground whose ears are close to the opening can easily hear the voices of people standing on the ground. However, if people on the ground do not know in advance that there is an opening and lie on the ground to listen, then people standing on the ground will not easily hear the voices of people underground near the opening. If people underground walk down the steps, away from the opening, and go deeper, then people on the ground will not be able to hear the voices of people underground at all.

After Le Yu closed the lid, it was pitch black underground. She took out a tinder and lit the candle she was carrying. At the same time, she whispered in Tie Hongyan's ear, "Young Clan Leader, follow me down the stairs. Stay away from this entrance to prevent our conversation from being heard by the people above."
