732 Like a Frog at the Bottom of the Well (1/2)
Chen Xiaobei dove into the river. Feeling curious, Liu Xuanxin followed right behind him. As it was a forest river, it was not polluted. The river was not deep and the water was crystal clear. With the help of moonlight, one could see the bottom of the river clearly. There was a hole at the bottom of the river which was where he was headed.
There were lights blinking inside the hole. Judging from the cracks surrounding the hole, this hole was formed when Xiaobei landed on the river bed. What a coincidence! They could see another U-shaped exit as they dove deeper. When they swam up, the mysterious light became brighter and brighter.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
When Chen Xiaobei and Liu Xuanxin surfaced from the water, they had come to an entirely different world, surrounded by black and gray walls. Other than the water passage, there were no other entrance or exit. There was a staircase in front of the passage.
”Let's go. We shall check it out!”
Chen Xiaobei and Liu Xuanxin then walked up the stairs together. At the end of the stairs, they could see a platform shining with bright light. Clearly, the mysterious light that they saw earlier came from here.
”What… What is this?”
Upon climbing up the stairs, Liu Xuanxin could not help but purse her lips. A well-designed white jade box was placed on the platform. The dragon carving on the box was so realistic and detailed that it could beat any jade carver in this world. Considering that the box was emitting white light, it was definitely not an ordinary item.
”Just open it and see what's inside!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face. He wanted to open the box that laid in front of him
”Shit! Dodge!”
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei screamed and was about to push Liu Xuanxin away. However, it was all too late.
*Roar*
A thunderous roar echoed around them. In an instant, his body was bound by pillar-shaped rays. Following that, the same thing happened to her as well. The two of them could not even move a muscle.
”What is going on? What is this thing?” asked Liu Xuanxin in shock.
”It's an evil white snake spirit!”
*ROAR!*
Right after Chen Xiaobei finished talking, a giant snake popped out from the jade box. Judging from the size of its body, this white snake was like the mini version of the giant serpent that Chen Xiaobei encountered earlier. However, this white snake was not the same species as the giant serpent. There was a white horn on its head and two tails at its back.
”Something is not right! I don't have Yin Yang Eyes. Why can I see it?!”
Liu Xuanxin had been living in the Jianghu for quite some time. That was why she was not surprised when Chen Xiaobei mentioned evil spirit. The thing that surprised her was she could not understand how she managed to see its true form.
”If I'm not mistaken, there should be a Spiritual Item inside the white jade box! This white snake is the materialized form of the Spiritual Item. So even ordinary human beings can see it!”
”Spiritual Item?”
It seemed that Liu Xuanxin was not too familiar with this term. However, she did not have much time to ponder upon it as death was approaching.
*Hiss…*
The evil white snake spirit flicked its tongue out and looked at the two puny humans that stood in front of him. Its ice-cold stare finally landed on Chen Xiaobei.
