Chapter 734: Surging Nether River

Li Yao's eyes widened . Three layers of spiritual shields appeared on his body, and he leapt forward out of the array of gold threads agilely .
The dozens of gold flying swords brushed past by him and left shallow traces on his crystal suit .
The last one of them, however, was like a persistent parasite and stabbed into his left leg after a weird blink!
Li Yao screamed and rolled on the ground . He uncovered his crystal suit and discovered that the gold flying sword had torn away a slice of his leg, leaving a scorching wound . But thankfully, his bone was not hurt!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and retrieved a bottle of medicine from his Cosmos Ring . He spurted a cluster of white fog from the bottle onto his leg and temporarily froze the wound .
He then turned the gear on the bottle and pressed the switch again . This time, it was an azure foam, which looked like a gel, that were spurted out .
The foam was smeared on the wound evenly . It quickly consolidated when they met air . After being condensed, it became slightly elastic and looked like an artificial muscle .
Li Yao finally took a long breath and look back in fear .
Bai Xinghe looked at him emotionlessly during the entire process . In the end, he complimented, "Your movements were quite smooth . Perhaps you are not in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage, but the peak of it .
"However, the blow you took just now was as redundant as my coughs in the beginning .
"You tried to lower my wariness by hurting your leg intentionally and mislead me into thinking that your left leg would be your weakness . But the truth is, your fatal move would be carried out by your left leg should we get into a fight, wouldn't it?"
Li Yao was stiffened and cursed to himself .
Bai Xinghe smiled . "Don't be angry . I could have kept my finding to myself and pretended that I didn't see through your plan . If we really get into a fight, I would have been able to anticipate your move and find an opportunity to counterattack when you kick with your left leg under the illusion that I've been fooled, wouldn't I?
"I pointed it out as a gesture of my sincerity . The remaining journey will only be more difficult than the array of gold threads . If we continue mistrusting each other and having conflicts, it is possible that neither of us will leave the dark underground . "
Li Yao was greatly alarmed . "There are more traps ahead of us?"
Half an hour later, Li Yao was dumbfounded and speechless when he saw everything before him .
Led by Bai Xinghe, they passed by more than ten intersections after quite a few zigzags and two arrays of gold threads before they finally reached the end of the pathway .
However, it was not the original exit of the pathway but a hole that had been torn open by brute force .
What appeared in front of Li Yao was a cliff whose bottom was unclear .
The rock stratums on the two sides of the cliff were ripped open, leaving an enormous hollow in the middle . The two of them seemed to be standing in the middle of a magnificent mountain looking at the mountain on the other side that was covered in hazy mist .
Looking down at the bottom of the cliff, Li Yao saw a raging river hundreds of meters below him .
Li Yao had never seen such a splendid and formidable underground river . It was like a rampant dragon rushing toward the center of the rock stratums at the core of the planet .
What was more blood-freezing was that the water of the river was greenish, as if billions of butterflies were lying on the riverbed flapping their wings together!
The river seemed exactly like the legendary Nether River in hell . Gloomy wind was blowing, and tides were surging, illuminating the crevices on the cliff with a miserable green and enshrouding everything in mysteriousness and horror .
This place was like the entrance to hell and the boundary that marked the world of the living and that of the deceased!
Huala! Huala!
Water pillars shot up hundreds of meters from the 'Nether River' every now and then . They bashed the walls on the two sides of the cliff like green flames, leaving dark green traces on the walls as if a giant centipede had just passed by . They were not gone until a long time later .
"The underground fortress has been built for ten thousand years," Bai Xinghe explained . "During the past ten thousand years, a great many tectonic movements have happened here and vastly reshaped the environment .
"About fix thousand years ago, perhaps because of the apocalypse that swept across the Flying Star Sector, a great earthquake took place on Spider Den although it was not directly hit by the meteorites .
"The earthquake resulted in countless faults below the ground and scattered the underground fortress!
"The underground fortress had no 'shortcuts' in the beginning at all, but the super earthquake created such a road for us . "
Bai Xinghe took out a metal ball and tossed it into the air . The ball hovered above their heads and projected a beam of clear mystic rays toward the black fog on the other side of the cliff .
The mystic ray seemed to be able to pierce everything through . It outlined the other side of the cliff almost a thousand meters away .
On the cliff, dozens of giant crevices were glittering under the illumination of the mystic ray .
Pointing at the crevices across them, Bai Xinghe said, "Look, the crevices did not exist before the earthquake . The underground fortress on the two sides of the cliff was connected back then . It was flawless and had no loopholes at all .
