"I was too careless. I didn't consider that the enemy would tamper with the river.”
Gao Jianli clenched his fists and blamed himself.
"Little Gao, you can't be blamed for this. No one would have thought that the enemy would attack from the river.”
The snow maiden placed her jade-like hand on Gao Jianli's shoulder and comforted him.
Beside him, the anxious Old Man Ban said,"
"Xiao Gao, you can't be blamed for this. The enemy is too cunning.”
"Now is not the time for us to blame ourselves. We have to quickly think of a countermeasure. Otherwise, the Mohist City of Traps will be completely wiped out.”
Gao Jianli raised his head and swept his gaze across the people in the Ink Core's secret chamber. At this moment, he realized that everyone's gaze was on him.
In the Mo family, Gao Jianli's martial arts status was second only to the Mo family tycoon.
Now that Yan Dan was not in the City of Traps, he had become the most authoritative figure in the city.
Everyone placed their hopes on him.
Gao Jianli calmed down and said,"
"This poison is in the river, and the poisonous fog is constantly spreading out from the water. Now, we can only open the gates of the city of traps and drain the poisonous water.”
"Then, open the backup river of the City of Traps and let clean water wash the City of Traps. Only then can the City of Traps be saved.”
Old Man Ban's eyes widened and he quickly nodded in affirmation. This method coincided with what he had thought.
"The gate is underwater, and the water is poisonous. What should we do?”
Old Man Ban looked troubled.
Gao Jianli swept his gaze across the people in the ink core's secret chamber, and all of them lowered their heads in silence. In the end, Gao Jianli's gaze fell on the snow maiden's anxious face.
Gao Jianli raised his eyebrows and made up his mind."I'll open the gate."
"Little Gao." The snow maidens frowned, worry written all over their fair faces.
"I'm fine." In order to reassure the snow maidens, Gao Jianli said,"
"This poison has turned into a poisonous fog. I must have been poisoned by inhaling it. As long as I hold my breath and dive into the water in one breath, I'll be fine.”
Old Man Ban and Master Xu looked at each other, but neither of them said anything to stop him.
After all, if they didn't change the poisonous water, they would definitely die once the poisonous fog entered the Ink Core Secret Room.
Moreover, they were old. Whether it was their ability to hold their breath or their martial arts and inner energy, they were inferior to Gao Jianli.
Therefore, Gao Jianli was the best choice.
"Xiao Gao, be careful."
Old Man Ban reminded.
Hearing this, Gao Jianli nodded solemnly and left the Ink Core Secret Room.
He held his breath and quickly passed through the corridor filled with purple mist.
When he arrived at the water room that controlled the city of mechanisms, Gao Jianli jumped into the water with a bang.
Under the water, there were huge gears spinning.
After searching for a while, Gao Jianli finally found the iron chain of the gate underwater.
He grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled hard.
The gate didn't budge.
Then, he said,
Gao Jianli circulated his internal strength to his arms and pulled the door open.
The poisonous water gushed into the gate and formed a vortex.
After Gao Jianli came ashore, he rushed to the Ink Core Secret Room without hesitation.
There was still no purple poisonous fog near the secret chamber, so the snow maidens were pacing back and forth at the entrance with clean clothes.
The snow maidens finally relaxed when they saw that Gao Jianli had returned safely.
Gao Jianli changed into a clean set of clothes and led the snow maidens into the Ink Core Secret Room.
"Old Man Ban, you can activate the backup river water now.”
"The gate has opened, and the clean river water has flowed into the City of Traps. The City of Traps is saved.”
The anxiety and worry on Old Man Ban's face also dissipated a lot.
Gao Jianli shook his head and said,"
"The crisis of the Mo Family hasn't been resolved yet. At this moment, the enemy is still guarding outside the City of Traps.”
"I don't know when they'll charge in.”
"In a while, the poisonous fog will disperse a little. We'll split into three groups.
Teacher Xu immediately rushed to the Mirror Lake and asked Miss Duanmu to come and cure the poison of the Mo disciples.
Old Man Ban drove the Vermilion Bird to Sang Hai to inform Ju Zi and the others about the situation in the City of Traps.
Xue and I will stay behind to fend off the enemies and try our best to hold on until you return.
This was the only way to save the Mohist City of Traps.”
Hearing Gao Jianli's arrangement, everyone felt that it was very reasonable and expressed their agreement.
"Alright, I'll head to Mirror Lake immediately."
"I'm going to Sang Hai as well." When Old Man Ban left, he warned," If you can't wait for us to return, immediately retreat on the white tiger. As long as there's life, there's hope."”
Gao Jianli nodded.”
…………
A huge red machine-operated snake passed through the dense forest and finally arrived in front of a smooth stone wall.
"Found it, hehe."
A proud smile appeared on Gongshu Chou's old face.
Behind this stone wall was the passageway that led to the interior of the Mohist City of Traps.
Then, he said,
Gongshu Chou drove the mechanical snake out of the forest and headed toward Ying Ziheng and the others.
Gongshu Chou frowned as he looked at the purple poisonous fog floating on the towering mountains.
"When the sun is right, slaughter the entire city. Is this the strange poison that the sixth young master mentioned?”
"Throw the poison into the main river of the Mohist City of Traps and let the water carry the poison. Bringing him into the City of Traps was indeed a good plan.”
After sighing, Gongshu Chou came to Ying Ziheng's side.
He got down from the snake's head and bowed to Ying Ziheng.
"Young Master, we found the entrance to the Mohist City of Traps.”
Ying Ziheng rode on his warhorse and saw that the purple poisonous fog that enveloped the towering mountain was getting thinner and thinner. It was almost colorless now.
Ying Ziheng knew that the Mo Family had changed the river water to a clean one.
However, the Poisonfeather Evernight's effect had already been achieved. So what if he changed it? In any case, the outcome would be the same.
The City of Traps had to be broken, and the Mo family rebels had to be killed.
"Lead the way."
Ying Ziheng looked at Gongshu Chou and ordered.
"Young Master, please follow me."
After saying that, Gongshu Chou drove the mechanical snake into the dense forest.
Ying Ziheng led three thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry and followed behind.
Soon, he brought Ying Ziheng and the others to the entrance of the City of Traps.
Gongshu Chou found the mechanism and pushed it hard.
The sound of stones rubbing against each other could be heard from the stone wall. In the next moment, a pitch-black passage appeared in front of Ying Ziheng.
"Young Master, this is the passageway. However, there are hidden mechanisms in the passageway and it is extremely dangerous.”
Gongshu Chou reminded.
