Chapter 82 The Candlelight Never Dies
Li Musheng's eyes moved, he glanced at the woman in palace dress, and let Li Yuanling pull him onto the wooden boat.

I have to say, the scene of the underground iron chain and wooden boat does look quite exciting.

Although he knew that this kind of excitement should be very different from what he imagined.

At this moment, after everyone on the platform boarded the wooden boat, the woman in palace dress who had been standing motionless on the edge of the platform turned her head and called out to the dark cliff below:
"sail!"

The sound echoed in the darkness, and the iron chains began to move rapidly again, driving the five wooden boats slowly towards the depths of the cliff in the darkness.

There are four soft stools wrapped in cotton fur on the wooden boat, indicating that a wooden boat can only carry four people at most.

Li Yuanling sat on one of the soft stools. Before setting sail, she picked up the fire starter on the table in front of her and lit a candle on it.

Li Musheng sat opposite her and glanced into the darkness around him.

The other four wooden boats not far away also lit candles at this time, and they looked like fireflies emitting dim light in the dark underground space.

At this moment, Li Yuanling's eyes fell on the table in front of her. Seeing a line of clear words engraved on it, she opened her red lips and slowly read out the contents:
"The first level is to enter the rotating wheel and keep the candle on the boat burning."

"The duration of the candle flame lasting ten breaths is one pattern, twenty breaths is two patterns, half an incense stick is five patterns, and one incense stick is ten patterns."

"If the candle flame does not go out after one stick of incense, one more pattern will be added every breath. After thirty breaths, the wooden boat will stop briefly and enter the second level."

……

After reading all the contents engraved on the table, Li Yuanling rolled her eyes, and then wisps of true energy emerged from her palms, protecting the candlelight on the table.

At the same time, she looked up at Li Musheng who was sitting opposite her and blinked:

"I heard that in this underground 'Floating Boat City', the person who accumulates the most patterns will receive a mysterious item, and if they can break the record, they can even receive something unimaginable."

Hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the other party, folded his arms and said:
"As the princess of Dali, are you still lacking any good things?"

Li Yuanling tilted her head and looked at Li Musheng for a while. A meaningful look flashed in her eyes and she curled her lips and said:

"Of course there's no shortage, but who can have too much of a good thing?"

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked around, and shook his head:
"The place you're looking for does have some unique features, but overall, it's just the same."

As he spoke, he touched his chin and said:
"But since we're here, and there's nothing to do anyway, I don't mind playing with you for a while, so you don't go around saying that I, your sworn brother, am a nobody."

Hearing this, Li Yuanling blinked and mumbled a few words, but no one knew what she said.

At this moment, the wooden boat sliding in the darkness had arrived in front of a huge horizontal iron wheel.

Li Yuanling looked up and saw wooden boats with candles lit coming from all directions in the darkness.

The iron cables connecting the boat slid into the grooves of the iron frame wheels, and with the sound of the mechanism turning, they were all fixed.

She took a quick look and counted them. Including the wooden boat they were on, there were a total of thirty wooden boats fixed on the iron wheel.

Soon, as a melodious bell rang, the iron wheel suddenly began to spin rapidly, and the speed became faster and faster. In a few breaths, only afterimages were left.

At the beginning, Li Yuanling was afraid that Li Musheng would be thrown out, but when she found that he was sitting opposite her calmly with an expressionless look on his face, she let out a light exclamation.

It seemed that she had not expected that the other person, who seemed to have no true energy at all, could possess such a skill and was even calmer than her. "Don't look at me. Take care of yourself first."

Li Musheng glanced at the other party. The speed of the roulette wheel was getting faster and faster, and bursts of exclamations were heard from the surrounding wooden boats.

However, Li Yuanling's martial arts skills are quite good, so these difficulties are not difficult for her. She can protect the candle flame while sitting still.

She even leisurely cast a smug look at Li Musheng, as if to say that this was no big deal.

Soon, ten breaths passed, twenty breaths passed... and the time of an incense stick passed.

The candles on the wooden boats around were extinguished from time to time. In the end, there were only seven wooden boats left with candles lit on the entire iron frame wheel.

Not far from the wooden boat where Li Musheng and the other man were, there was another wooden boat with a candle burning brightly.

There were two people sitting on the boat. In addition to the gangster who had just shouted, there was also a thin middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a long sword at his waist. He glanced at the wooden boat where Li Musheng and the other man were, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seemed that they were somewhat surprised that the young couple Li Musheng could withstand the roulette wheel for a stick of incense.

Soon, the time it took for an incense stick to pass, and the iron wheel continued to spin.

Immediately afterwards, a series of palm winds suddenly emerged from above the roulette wheel and fell precisely towards the seven wooden boats with candles lit.

Li Musheng raised his head and glanced at the center of the roulette wheel. An old man in black was sitting on it. His whole body was filled with surging martial arts energy. Every time he struck out with his palm, a palm wind flew out, and as time went by, the power of the palm wind gradually increased.

At the beginning, when the palm winds blew towards the candlelight protected by Li Yuanling's men, she was able to protect it with her own martial arts energy, but after twenty breaths, she was obviously unable to do so.

When the time reached twenty-five breaths, the palm wind swung by the old man had become extremely fierce.

Li Yuanling saw that the true energy protecting the candlelight was blown away, and the burning flame began to sway violently, almost going out and turning into a ball of scarlet flames.

She couldn't help but scream in panic, thinking that the situation was hopeless and this was the limit of what she could endure.

And at this moment, the candle flame that was about to go out suddenly regained its previous brightness in an instant. Even though the remaining palm wind continued to blow, the candle flame did not move at all and burned as usual.

The old man in black who was sitting upright looked at the wooden boat that Li Musheng and the other man were riding on, frowned slightly, and was a little surprised that the candlelight that was originally supposed to be extinguished actually persisted.

However, he did not think much about it, and immediately threw out several palms.

At this time, there were only three wooden boats on the entire roulette wheel with candles still burning, including the boat that the middle-aged man with the sword was riding.

"I probably won't be able to survive the next round."

The task of protecting the candlelight was done by the gangster on the opposite side, so the middle-aged man with the sword had the leisure to observe the situation of the other two wooden boats.

He had seen the candle in Li Yuanling's hand almost go out before, so he was almost certain that she would not be able to withstand the next stronger palm wind.

 Hey everyone, there are too many trivial things to do... I owe you an update, and I can only make up for it when I have time later. Sorry, sorry.
