His words were very reasonable, and the others didn't doubt him.
Kui Shui waved his hand. "Let's get to work. We've taken their money, so we have to take responsibility for them. Leave the mapping of the mine to us."
Bold and skilled, he took the lead and walked in. Many students followed him as their leader, so naturally, they followed behind him.
Yang Qingxuan glanced at Meng Rui. His face was a bit pale, but he still gritted his teeth and followed. Yang Qingxuan glanced at Zhen Xiu Zhu and the driver, then followed Meng Rui into the mine.
Zhen Xiu Zhu's smile gradually disappeared as he watched the ten enter, replaced by a gloomy expression.
The driver beside him also lost his honest demeanor. His face was twisted, and his eyes were sinister.
"Say, do you think these students will be able to map it?"
The driver suddenly asked. There was no respect in his tone, but a trace of coldness.
Zhen Xiu Zhu said, "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? If they can't, we'll just recruit ten more students. "
The driver frowned. "You're not afraid of trouble? Heaven Consort Academy isn't to be trifled with. "
Zhen Xiu Zhu smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've already figured out the ins and outs of these ten people. All of them were born in poverty. The one called Li Ziye is a bit better, but his father is only a centurion in the Imperial Capital. That Yang Qingxuan is even worse. His grandfather is actually a garbage man. Who would care if such trash dies? When Heaven Consort Academy really investigates, we'll be long gone. "
The driver said, "Among us, you've always been the most resourceful. Even boss fell for your trick and met the king of hell. Dealing with these students is naturally easy, but remember not to attract Heaven Consort Academy's attention. "
Zhen Xiu Zhu smiled. "Don't worry about me."
The driver didn't say anything else. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Zhen Xiu Zhu thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Of all of them, the most worrisome is that Meng Rui."
Just as the driver closed his eyes, he opened them again and asked, "What's wrong with this person?"
Zhen Xiu Zhu said, "This person's surname is Meng."
The coachman furrowed his brows as he pondered. He did not seem to understand. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly as he exclaimed, "Meng Yulong?!"
Zhen Xiu Zhu nodded and said, "Exactly."
The coachman's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "It can't be that coincidental, right? Back then, Meng Yulong followed Su Feng to conquer the Cangnan State. In the end, he died an unnatural death. The Meng family's elders and young were all killed. There shouldn't be any descendants. "
Zhen Xiu Zhu's complexion was somewhat sinister as he said, "I hope so. But, even if he's Meng Yulong's descendant, it won't affect our plan. This mine only has one exit. Once they finish drawing the map, I'll send them to hell! "
The coachman chuckled and said, "Among these ten students, the strongest is only Kui Shui. He is not even at the middle stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. The rest are just chickens and dogs."
Zhen Xiu Zhu nodded and said, "As long as we obtain the treasures left behind by Su Feng back then, we'll leave the Cangnan Empire and find a place to cultivate in seclusion. When we return to the mainland, even the Tian Cong Academy can't do anything to us! "
Both of them became excited. After looking at each other with a sinister smile, they guarded the entrance of the mine and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Inside the mine.
"Everyone, follow me closely and listen to my commands. If you don't listen, hmph, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship."
Kui Shui led the way in front. Because his cultivation was the highest, he unconsciously regarded himself as the leader and should lead the others.
Most people did not have any objections and carefully followed behind him.
Meng Rui, on the other hand, was constantly flipping through the map that had already been drawn. He was also looking left and right, trying to determine his location.
Yang Qingxuan looked at the surrounding terrain while staring at Meng Rui. He knew that Meng Rui must know something. Since he was unwilling to say, it didn't matter. It was not wrong to follow him.
As they went deeper and deeper into the mine, they thought that the passage would become narrower. However, it was the opposite here. It actually became wider. Before, the passage was only as tall as a person, but after touching the surface, it was two to three meters high. Even jumping was no problem.
Everyone felt that it was a little strange and continued forward. They actually heard the sound of water. After a few hundred meters, they saw an underground river in front of them that flowed at a steady pace.
The ten people arrived in front of the underground river. The water surface was not wide. With their strength, they could cross it with a single leap.
"The River of Forgetfulness!"
Meng Rui stared at the water and cried out involuntarily. His eyes bulged and his face was filled with fear.
The others were startled by his sudden cry and glared at him. Kui Shui even scolded, "What the hell are you screaming for!"
Meng Rui pursed his lips, his face pale. He ignored everyone's harsh words.
Yang Qingxuan leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "What is the River of Forgetfulness?"
Kui Shui originally wanted to bring everyone across the river, but when he heard this, he stopped and turned around to listen.
Meng Rui came back to his senses and took a deep breath, "Legend has it that after a person dies, they have to pass through the River of Forgetfulness. From there, they will forget all their memories and become a blank ghost. The water of the River of Forgetfulness comes from the netherworld. "
Yue Qiang scolded with a smile, "Haha, you must be crazy. Coming from the netherworld? Then if we follow this underground river, won't we be able to enter the netherworld?"
As soon as the word "Netherworld" came out of his mouth, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. What was supposed to be a joke was now extremely unfunny!
The underground river flowed slowly and seemed to be even colder.
Meng Rui shook his head and said, "My ancestors once said that when you meet the River of Forgetfulness, it is the place to turn back. This place is very dangerous. I won't do this mission. You guys do it. "He turned around and was about to leave.
Kui Shui's face changed slightly and scolded, "You took their money and you want to do things for them. You don't have any professional ethics. You really are a disgrace to our school!"
Meng Rui seemed to be determined to leave. He was unmoved. No matter what Kui Shui said, he didn't turn around.
Yang Qingxuan's right hand clenched into a fist and used his finger to lightly tap his chin. He was also very conflicted. He also felt that this place was not normal. But if he left like this, he probably wouldn't be able to earn 1000 points before the inner courtyard exam.
After struggling in his heart, he let out a long sigh and turned around to leave with Meng Rui.
It was just points. There was no need to put himself in great danger for 300 points.
"You guys …!"
Kui Shui was furious. Meng Rui was fine, but Yang Qingxuan was only a Qi Martial Realm cultivator. He also left without saying a word. He didn't put him in his eyes at all. His face was immediately filled with killing intent.
But Yang Qingxuan had just turned around and walked two steps when he stopped. His face was filled with astonishment and shock.
He saw that the mine tunnel had disappeared. In front of him was a hundred feet away, it was actually a mountain cave wall. And Meng Rui was also standing in front of the mountain wall. His body was trembling and his face was filled with fear!
