Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a knocking sound behind him. The creature's sense of smell was quite sensitive, and as the sound got closer, they could only walk forward. After walking for a dozen meters, they saw an ice coffin at the end of the cave, but it was only one, there were no more than six.

Everyone had a desperate expression on their faces as they charged backwards, fighting to the death with the unknown creature. It was obviously not a wise move, and in front of them was a large sized ice coffin. If there was a Sky Poison Gu inside, they would not have any chance of winning at all.

The knocking sounds came closer, and they looked back nervously. A huge black shadow appeared in the cave, almost completely filling the cave, moving very slowly, but with its fireball-like eyes glowing red in the dark.

He walked towards the ice coffin. This ice coffin was at the end of the cave, almost occupying the entire cave. Inside the transparent ice coffin, there were blue Sky Poison Gu crawling, but there were not many of them.

Meng Xiaodie took out a cloth bag and scattered the fragrant soil on the ice coffin. The ice coffin immediately started to melt. The Sky Poison Gu didn't fly out, but mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Although the black shadow moved slowly, it was getting closer and closer to them. Everyone could almost hear the sound of heavy breathing. They all drew out their swords and blades to face the black shadow, ready to fight it out.

"Come here, there's a hole in the ground." Meng Xiaodie shouted.

In the place where the ice coffin melted, there was indeed a circular hole, just large enough for a person to enter. It was dark inside, and they didn't know how deep it was, but they didn't care, they still had to jump in to be safe.

The green-eyed dwarf was the first to jump in, followed by Xu Dazhi. Everyone jumped into the hole, one by one, while Meng Xiaodie stood guard outside the hole, afraid that the unknown creature would suddenly rush over. Fortunately, the shadow was still quite a distance away from them.

The walls of the cave were wet and slippery, and they could barely grab hold of anything, allowing their bodies to freely slide down. Along with the inertia, they slipped for about ten meters, and then fell down onto a flat stone floor one after another. Because they fell very fast and couldn't slow down, they fell very heavily, and they lay on the ground screaming in pain. Only Meng Xiaodie, the green-eyed dwarf, and Shen Hong had managed to land on the ground after using their martial arts.

It was pitch black all around. Wei Ke endured the pain and ignited a torch, lighting up the surroundings. A few people were still rubbing their knees and buttocks, grimacing in pain. The torches were lit and the range of light expanded until they could see that they were in a stone hall.

The torches could only vaguely reach three sides of the stone wall. On the other side, the fire could not reach the stone wall, and the area in front of them was pitch black, so they carefully walked forward with the torches in their hands. Suddenly, they heard a sound, a sound of splashing, a splashing, a splashing sound, and the sound of water. It looked like a deep pool, the surface dark and speckled with stars, perhaps because of the torchlight. Something seemed to be jumping in the water, but it was hard to tell what it was. They walked along the pool, looking for a passage or a small bridge, but when they reached the sides of the wall, they couldn't see the passage or the small bridge. The pool was so deep that the torches couldn't reach the edge of the opposite side of the pool. It was very difficult for an average person to jump over such a distance. Only Meng Xiaodie had this ability. Even Shen Hong and the green-eyed dwarf were looking at Chi Xing and sighing.

Shen Hong was delighted to see the water. It didn't matter if this was the Starwater Palace or not. Since the water was here, he could wash it off easily.

"This is the first time I've encountered so much water here. Why don't we take a good bath and go have a taste of the stench?"

Just as Shen Hong was thinking, the green-eyed dwarf said.

"It's better to be cautious. Let's not talk about whether the water is poisonous or not. No one knows what's inside. What if something happens?" Meng Xiaodie reminded him.

"It's just a pool of water, what else can it be?"

"Did you forget to soak in the water from the Divine Bead in the Jupiter Palace?"

"That's different. If you're afraid of being poisoned, then let Miss Shen try it out with the silver needles first."

Shen Hong took out a silver needle and inserted it into the water. There were no changes, meaning that the water was not poisonous. The green-eyed dwarf laughed. He took off his coat and was about to jump into the water, but was stopped by Meng Xiaodie, "There seems to be something jumping in the water."

"Something? What's that? " The green-eyed dwarf held the torch close to the water surface and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was something black jumping around in the water. If you looked closely, it seemed to be insects the size of leeches.

The green-eyed dwarf stepped back and put on his clothes.

What was on the other side of the pool, they would only know after they had gone there. There was no other way out, and Meng Xiaodie wanted to jump over to check the situation. He leaped forward, crossing his legs in the air, and barely landed on the stone floor on the other side. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a large relief. In the middle, there were four thick stone pillars with some carvings on them, and after walking forward for about ten meters, there was a row of stone tables placed in front of the wall. On the wall, there was a signboard hung above the wall, with the three words' Mercury Hall 'written on it.

So it turned out that Mercury Hall was actually here. Meng Xiaodie was overjoyed. She shouted, "Do you know where this is?"

"Where is it?" the men on the other side asked in unison.

"This is Mercury Hall? We have found the Starfish Palace. " Meng Xiaodie's voice was very loud, echoing around the cave.

"Mercury Hall?" Shen Hong exclaimed in surprise, "That's great, but how do we get there?"

"That won't be easy. Get out of the water." The green-eyed dwarf said.

"Go over there? Do you know how deep the water is? There are so many bugs inside, what if you're not afraid of getting bitten, and you don't know how to swim? " Xu Dazhi asked a series of questions.

"It's you who doesn't know water, right? My brothers here, who doesn't know water?" The green-eyed dwarf turned his head and asked.

As soon as the green-eyed dwarf finished his words, a few of them said they didn't know how to drink water.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know how deep we are. If we're shallow, we can wade through." The green-eyed dwarf chuckled.
