He Lan Tianxia

Chapter 245 Searching for the First Hole in Vain

Wrapping oneself in a cocoon?

Murong Junlan turned his gaze to the octopus and fireball guards and asked, "Are there any other entrances besides this one?"

Before the octopus and fireball guards could answer, Yan'er came up from behind and said, "I know, you can go in through the skylight."

"You only remember that skylight? I've never been inside there and I don't even remember it," Murong Junlan said casually, though a sour feeling welled up inside her.

Yan'er was too lazy to respond to Murong Junlan's words. What time is it? You still love to be jealous.

"Your Highness, the skylight can't be opened." While the two were bickering, the octopus and fireball guards had already climbed onto the skylight.

"His window to the world will no longer be open for you." Murong Junlan turned to look at Yan'er's face, hoping to find some clues. Sure enough, her little face was tense and taut.

"What should we do then?" Yan'er didn't notice Murong Junlan's petty nature at all; she was just anxiously waiting there.

"Let's wait." Murong Junlan leaned against a large rock next to the cave entrance, looking rather lazy.

"Wait for what?" Yan'er asked, confused.

“Let him come out on his own.” Murong Junlan threw a pebble into the water of Lihentian Lake. “If that doesn’t work, drain the lake and go in from the bottom.”

"Your Highness, try to blow it up again; maybe that will save them." Yan'er looked intently at Murong Junlan, convinced that if Murong Junlan wanted to save them, he would definitely find a way.

"If someone gets killed or injured in the explosion, who will be held responsible?" Murong Junlan reminded him.

Yan'er also agreed with Murong Junlan, so what should she do? Yan'er scratched her head and couldn't think of a solution.

The octopus and fireball guards dived back into the water to search, but found no entrance. The group stood helplessly in front of the large stone gate.

Half an hour passed, and there was no progress. Suddenly, the water of Lihen Lake rippled, and then wave after wave of fish jumped out of the water. The scene was not one of joyful leaping over the dragon gate, but rather one of restless anxiety.

One, two, three… the fish kept leaping out of the water, not in an orderly fashion, but rather darting about wildly. Yan'er had previously observed that this was a sign of an impending earthquake. Could it be that an earthquake is about to occur here?

Before Yan'er could voice her suspicions, even more terrifying things began to happen one after another. The fish in the lake jumped out of the water and floated to the surface, suddenly lifeless. The surrounding lush green mountains also turned pale yellow at a visible speed.

Murong Junlan also abandoned his previous laziness, staring intently at the groups of fish blowing bubbles, pondering what was about to happen.

Is the weather about to change here?

The octopus and fireball guards looked increasingly grim. Using their animal instincts, they guessed the general situation. The two loyal subordinates of the pavilion master took a step forward and simultaneously knelt down in front of Murong Junlan.

"Your Highness, please save the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master's life force is so weak that it can no longer support the growth of all things in Lihentian Lake."

"Just his own Xuan Qi?" Murong Junlan was a little skeptical that the octopus and fireball guards were exaggerating, but he still went along with it and asked, "How can we save him?"

"A hole." Octopus and Fireball Guard said in unison.

Murong Junlan remained silent. Did you think he didn't want to break through the barrier? Although he was a little annoyed, in his heart, the Pavilion Master had his own extraordinary qualities. He could be considered a rare chivalrous hero. If it weren't for his coveting of his beloved concubine, he might have already become sworn brothers with him.

"Get out of the way." Murong Junlan didn't waste any words. He stepped back and struck with five layers of power in his hands.

A buzzing sound. There was a dull, muffled sound, like hitting a large cauldron.

Murong Junlan instructed the Octopus and Fireball guards to take good care of the princess, and then struck her from left, center, right, top, middle, and bottom.

Strange, it didn't budge an inch. Could this cave be an impenetrable fortress?
