Chapter 84: The Saintess
Several dozen breaths later, all the wooden boats descended into the underground river beneath the cliff.
The sound of flowing water reached their ears. The iron chains that had originally locked the boats were struck by powerful gusts of wind, successively detaching from the wooden boats, then rapidly contracting and disappearing into the air above the underground river.
Before long, another sound of breaking air came. Jade tokens flew out from the darkness, falling accurately toward the wooden boats floating in the underground river.
Li Yuanling reached out and caught a jade token that was about to fall into the wooden boat.
She looked down to examine it and found the jade token bore the characters "twenty-one," along with many extremely fine boat patterns drawn on it. Among them, forty patterns were marked with fluorescent light.
This meant that their wooden boat was numbered twenty-one, and after perfectly passing the first challenge, they had obtained forty marks.
At this moment, Li Musheng looked up at the jade token and said, "There are words on the back of the jade token. It should be the rules for the second challenge."
Hearing this, Li Yuanling immediately flipped over the jade token in her hand. Her gaze swept over it quickly as she murmured softly, "After entering the lake of dark currents, maintain the candle on the boat unextinguished. At the same time, you may seize jade tokens from other wooden boats. For each jade token obtained, one mark is added."
"This challenge lasts for half an hour. If the candle is extinguished once, it can be relit within three breaths, but ten marks must be deducted. Finally, the top ten wooden boats with the most marks can enter the final challenge."
