Chapter 691 Blood Leeches


Chapter 691 Blood Leeches

The ink painting landed on the ground with passing steps, with a gentle posture, but the soles of the feet were slightly numb.

After settling down, Mo Hua looked up and saw that the fog at the bottom of the well was not heavy, but the blood color was more even and slowly flowing at the bottom of the well.

In the blood mist, something seemed to be hatching.

Mo Hua's heart palpitated slightly.

He felt that he seemed to be closer to some kind of origin.

"Young Master?"

Gu An and the others asked softly.

After entering the bottom of the well, they felt somewhat out of breath for no apparent reason and felt uneasy, so they couldn't help but look at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked around and saw that at the bottom of the dry well was a corridor made of stones, extending in all directions and not knowing where it extended.

Gu An and the other three couldn't see the blood, so they didn't know how to go.

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Follow me."

Mo Hua chose a path and walked straight inside.

Gu An walked in front of Mo Hua, Yu Dahe followed behind Mo Hua, and Gu Quan was at the back.

The three of them secretly protected the ink painting.

Gu An and Gu Quan were ordered by Gu Changhuai to protect the ink paintings.

Yu Dahe knew that the life and death of his two young sons were all tied to this young master, so he must not make any mistakes.

The corridor is dry and dark, and the atmosphere is dull.

After walking like this for a while, a pool of stagnant water suddenly appeared in front of us. It seemed to be a large pit dug by someone, filled with water.

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered that his little tiger seemed to have fallen into the water, been attacked, and instantly shattered to pieces.

Mo Hua's consciousness spread out, he glanced for a moment, and then his eyes darkened.

"There are monsters in the water."

The aura of this monster is obscure and powerful, and it is difficult to detect because it is hidden in the water.

The mastermind behind the small fishing village seemed to have raised a monster and threw it into the water to block the road in order to prevent others from discovering it.

Gu An and Gu Fang looked at each other, slightly shocked.

The water was so muddy that with their spiritual awareness, they didn't even notice that there was a monster hiding in the water.

Although he is an array master, is Young Master Mo's spiritual consciousness too sharp?
He is only in the early stages of foundation building...

Yu Dahe asked weakly: "Young Master, can you tell what kind of water monster it is?"

Mo Hua shook his head.

Gu An pondered: "How about I go back and call people down, and join forces to kill this monster?"

"No." Mo Hua shook his head, "This monster should be a late-stage second-grade water monster. It is too powerful in the water. It is estimated that at least seven or eight water-based exercises and late-stage foundation-building monks who are proficient in water-based skills will be needed to join forces. It’s possible to hunt it down.”

Mo Hua speculated based on his experience as a demon hunter.

Gu An and Gu both frowned.

After seven or eight stages of foundation building, the Gu family was able to mobilize, but the conditions were too harsh as they had to practice water-based skills, be proficient in water properties, and be good at killing in water.

The fishing cultivators in the small fishing village are proficient in water-based skills, but they are not good at killing, and they don't have any advanced foundation building skills.

"Also," Mo Hua continued, "If we take action here and forcibly kill this water demon, we will definitely make a big fuss, and it is very likely that we will alert the snake and allow Guojianglong and others to escape."

"Those two children may not be saved..."

"Young Master, then..." Yu Dahe looked at the ink painting, his eyes were painful and full of hope.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, "Let me think about it..."

He looked at the dangerous deep pool in front of him with thoughtful eyes, and he couldn't help but think of a question.

Dragon crossing the river, how did he get across?
Although Dragon Crossing the River is proficient in the nature of water, it is only in the middle stage of foundation building and cannot be the opponent of this water demon.

Moreover, the water monster is a monster and can eat people without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Mo Hua recalled everything about the encounter with the Dragon Crossing the River, and naturally thought of those dead fish.

I heard from Dahe that this kind of fish is called "dead spot fish".

Mo Hua then asked: "What is the dead grouper fish used for?"

Yu Dahedao: "This kind of fish is poisonous. After death, it has gray spots on its body, like 'dead man's spots', so it is called dead fish. After eating, it will cause blood stasis and physical paralysis, like a 'dead man', unable to move." …”

Mo Hua suddenly understood.

"I see."

The River Crossing Dragon and the others just feed the water demon with "dead spotted fish" to immobilize the water demon so that they can cross the river easily.

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked Gu An to throw a dead grouper fish into the water.

The dead fish fell into the water, but within a moment, the water surface surged, revealing the head of a huge ugly water demon, which swallowed the dead fish in one mouthful.

Mo Hua's pupils shrank.

Gu An and the other three also looked horrified.

The species of this water monster is unknown, but it has a huge body, as long as five or six people, a deformed head, a mouth as big as a basin of blood, and its blood is thick and its skin is covered with scales, making it indestructible.

The protruding eyes are black and yellow, cold and cruel.

This is a second-grade peak water demon that has lived for an unknown amount of time.

After swallowing the dead grouper fish, this water monster's pupils were a little dilated, and its body was involuntarily paralyzed for a while, but within ten breaths, it returned to its original state.

Mo Hua was startled, and then took a slight breath of cold air.

It's not like you feed the fish and paralyze the water monster and you can pass by safely.

The blood of this water demon is too strong.

Eating a dead grouper fish can only paralyze it for ten breaths. If you want to cross the river, you must swim to the other side within these ten breaths, otherwise the water monster that wakes up will still swallow the person crossing the river.

Gu An and the other two people obviously understood, and their faces turned a little pale.

Mo Hua looked at Gu An and the others without saying anything, but there was some inquiry in his eyes.

Yu Dahe had a determined look on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "I am going to save my son. Even if I die, I won't complain."

Gu An and Gu Quan nodded slightly when they heard this.

Gu An then said: "Young master, don't worry about us."

Gu Quan, on the other hand, glanced at Mo Hua with some worry, "Young Master, you'd better not take risks."

"It's okay." Mo Hua said, "I'm not slow in swimming."

When he had nothing to do before, he had roughly learned the Bailang movement technique of Crossing the River Dragon. Although he was not very proficient in it, he could still use it with ease.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said:

"There are also three dead grouper fish. We will feed them to the water monster together later, and then we will swim to the other side immediately."

"We fed them together?" Gu Quan was startled, "What about when we come back?"

"You don't have to worry when you come back."

Mo Hua said casually.

When I come back, I am not afraid of disturbing the situation. A water monster trapped in the stagnant water is a living target. I have a hundred ways to send it to heaven.

Gu An and Gu Quan didn't know Mo Hua's plan, but after passing the Bishan Devil's Cave and his group, they had gradually gotten used to it and followed Mo Hua's orders.

The water demon finished eating a fish and slowly sank into the water.

It seems to know nothing about things on the shore, but it is only sensitive to prey in the water.

The three of them discussed it and decided to cross the river.

Gu An, Gu Quan and Yu Dahe each picked up a fish and threw it into the water in the distance.

The dead grouper fish fell into the water, and the water demon immediately showed its head again and swallowed two in one mouthful. Then, as before, its pupils were blank and a little numb.

"Walk!"

The moment the water demon ate the fish, Mo Hua said decisively.

Then several people jumped into the water together and swam hard to the other side.

Yu Dahe is a fisherman, and the water quality is very good, so he can swim very fast.

Although Mo Hua is not a fisherman, the passing water step is a water-based body technique. He also practiced the white wave movement technique. He is like a nimble little fish in the water, and his speed is not slow.

Gu An and Gu Shen's skills are a bit inferior, but they have deep cultivation, so they can keep up.

However, the two of them still deliberately slowed down and protected Mo Hua.

The second-level peak fish demon swallowed two dead grouper fish and was only paralyzed for about fifteen breaths. His black and yellow ferocious pupils began to blink.

Mo Hua sensed the danger and immediately said: "Hurry up!" Then he pushed his body skills to the extreme, using his hands and feet together, and started paddling desperately.

The shore is within sight.

The three of them, Gu An, also began to try their best to get closer to the shore.

At this time, the fish demon has completely woken up from the paralysis state, its bulging eyes are turning, and the tip of its ugly nose can smell the breath of a living person.

It abandoned the other dead grouper and gradually sank into the water.

The figure of the fish demon sank to the bottom of the water, but at the same time, an undercurrent of ripples appeared on the water, rippling towards Mo Hua and the others at an extremely fast speed.

Mo Hua and others were shocked and swam desperately.

In the end, Yu Dahe, who was proficient in water properties, was the first to come ashore. After landing, he immediately turned around and reached out to pull up the ink painting from the bottom of the river.

Gu An and Gu Quan also arrived at the shore.

But before they could land, there was a "rumbling" sound from the water, and an ugly water demon's head floated up, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Gu An and Gu Quan.

The two of them swam in the water, unable to dodge.

Mo Hua had quick eyes and quick hands. He clicked his fingers together and immediately condensed several fireballs, which hit the water demon's protruding eyes and hindered the water demon for a moment.

Gu An and Gu Quan got this moment, drew their swords at the same time, activated their sword energy, and slashed the water demon on the lower jaw.

However, the water demon has rough skin and thick flesh, so the two cuts did not go deep and only barely broke some of the skin.

Yu Dahe immediately took out a harpoon quenched with poisonous algae juice from his storage bag, threw it out, and pierced the water demon's mouthpiece. This is a method that fish cultivators usually use to deal with aquatic monsters when fishing.

The harpoon pierced the mouth of the water demon, and poisonous algae seeped into its throat. The water demon was in severe pain, rolled over and sank into the water again.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu An and Gu Quan went ashore together.

After that, several people evacuated immediately.

But within a moment, the water demon emerged again.

The entire harpoon was swallowed into its belly with hatred, and the water demon was extremely angry, but the breath of several living people in the water was gone, so it could only roar wildly at the shore.

The roar was low, but the fishy wind was fierce.

The ink painting was carried by the fishy wind, staggered a few times, and fell to the ground with a "plop", looking a little embarrassed.

Gu An immediately helped Mo Hua up, "Little Master, are you okay?"

"fine."

Mo Hua rubbed his forehead, turned around, glanced at the water demon angrily, and said silently in his heart: "Ugly monster, wait until I come back and see how I deal with you."

The water demon's ugly and ferocious eyes were still staring at Mo Hua, completely unaware that he had been put on the "blacklist" by Mo Hua.

Once on the shore and out of the water, the water demon is powerless.

Everyone was temporarily safe and began to move forward.

I don’t know how long I walked before I found a cave entrance in front of me, with a slight light at the entrance.

After passing the entrance of the cave, it suddenly opened up. It was no longer the narrow bottom of the well, but a gray world.

There was a slight drizzle in the sky, and there was a dirt road paved with stones under my feet.

A faint, yellowish mist floats in the air.

In the eyes of Gu An and others, the color of the fog is slightly yellow.

But in the eyes of Mo Hua, the color of these fogs is deeper blood red.

Not far away, there was a vague outline of a fishing village, which blended with the blood mist, revealing the silence and strangeness.

Gu An secretly cursed: "Human traffickers like Guojiang Long somehow managed to find such a gloomy place to hide."

Yu Dahe also nodded, looking confused:

"I've never heard of such a place nearby... Is this a fishing village? Why does it look like there's no one there?"

"Let's go and take a look first." Mo Hua sighed.

He knew in his heart that there were more than just human traffickers in this fishing village.

Everyone walked along the dirt road under their feet to the fishing village in the distance.

But after walking a few steps, Mo Hua grabbed Gu An and said suddenly:
"Stop!"

Gu An was startled and looked around, looking at the ink painting with some confusion, not knowing what was going on.

There is obviously nothing around.

Mo Hua's pupils trembled slightly.

He discovered that there was a mass of blood mist in front of Gu An, and in the blood mist, there was a squirming evil thing like a blood leech.

This blood leech was red, dirty and bloody, floating in the air with the blood mist.

It was swimming right in front of Gu An's eyes.

Gu An couldn't see it at all.

If he had taken one step forward just now, he would have directly come into contact with these blood leeches.

Mo Hua still doesn't know what will happen after encountering blood leeches.

However, based on his experience, he guessed that these blood leeches are most likely the evil spirit of the evil god. Once they encounter a living person with divine consciousness, they are likely to get into his sea of ​​consciousness and carry out pollution and parasitism.

"There is danger." Mo Hua said solemnly.

Gu An and the others looked at the thick fog around them, and their hearts trembled.

"You guys, follow me, don't move around!"

Mo Hua warned with a solemn expression.

Since he brought three people into the bottom of the well, he must try his best to protect their safety.

Yu Dahe is a hard-working fisherman, and his life is not easy.

Gu An and Gu Quan were acquaintances sent by Uncle Gu to protect him, and he couldn't let anything happen to them.

Gu An and the other three nodded.

Mo Hua started to walk in front, leading the three of them, avoiding the blood leeches and moving forward cautiously.

After walking for a while, the blood mist in front of me was thick, and the blood leeches were also much denser.

Mo Hua could avoid it on his own, but Gu An and the other three would probably be parasitized by the blood leeches swimming behind him even if they followed him.

I had some difficulty with the ink painting, and then I was suddenly startled.

Another question came to his mind.

He can see the blood leeches, so he can recognize the way.

The dragon crossing the river couldn't see the blood leeches, so how could he avoid the blood leeches and find his way into the village?
There must be something fishy here.

Mo Hua released his spiritual consciousness and peered around for a moment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he squatted on the ground, pulling up earth and rocks at his feet.

Gu An and the others looked at it inexplicably, but they knew how to behave and did not disturb Mo Hua.

After a while, Mo Hua finally pulled something out from the ground under his feet.

This is a formation stone!
On the stone slab, there are obscure and profound formation patterns carved on it.

Although I have never seen these formation patterns in ink paintings, they look very familiar. The formation style is exactly the same as the formation patterns drawn by Dragon Crossing the River at the mouth of the well.

"Shinto formation!"

Mo Hua felt happy.

He quickly wrote down all these formation patterns one by one.

It's just that the Shinto formation on the stone slab is incomplete. Just a few formations cannot form a complete formation structure, and the meaning of the formations cannot be understood.

Mo Hua took a few steps forward and squatted on the ground again.

After a while, he pulled out another stone slab.

There is still an incomplete Shinto formation on the stone slab, with some old and new formations.

The ink drawings were compared with each other, and the new formation patterns were written down. Then they continued to flip through several stone tablets, and recorded a total of five new Shinto formation patterns.

Then Mo Hua took out a piece of paper and continued to simulate, combine and piece together these five formation patterns on the paper.

After dozens of attempts, Mo Hua finally successfully pieced together these five formation patterns, forming a simple, but the power of divine thoughts can cycle back and forth to form a closed prototype of the Shinto formation!

This prototype is still very crude, similar to the five-element formations that only consisted of a few formations when Mo Hua first started learning formations.

But it is indeed a complete, entry-level Shinto formation.

Ink painting compared this formation with the formation drawn by Dragon Crossing the River at the mouth of the well, and discovered some clues.

Strictly speaking, the formations painted by Dragon Crossing the River are not considered Shinto formations.

His formation patterns were a clever way to temporarily cut off the flow of the formation power of the Shinto formation through the formation barrier, achieving the effect of temporarily "unblocking" and opening the seal at the bottom of the well.

In other words, the "unsealing" formations painted by Guojianglong are based on a complete set of Shinto formations.

This complete set of Shinto formations is drawn in the bloody dry well.

or……

Mo Hua looked far away, looking at the fishing village shrouded in the gloomy blood mist in the distance.

This entire fishing village that was contaminated by evil gods and disappeared was built on this "Shinto formation".

Whether it is the wellhead formation or the stone formation, they are only a small part of the extension of this Shinto formation.

Mo Hua was shocked, but at the same time, he also had more doubts.

Where did this Shinto formation come from?
Who built this formation in this fishing village?
What is the purpose?
What are the specific applications of Shinto formations?
Mo Hua frowned.

"It seems that we need to take a look deep into the fishing village. The core of the Shinto formation is probably hidden inside..."

There should be some Shinto formation stone slabs buried under the feet, but time is limited and there is no time to lift up the ink paintings one by one and read them.

After solving the evil god's matter, we can go back and dig over all the territory.

Mo Hua nodded.

At this time, Mo Hua also figured out the function of the formation on the stone slab.

These formations are used to isolate the blood mist, especially to drive away those evil spirits like "blood leeches" in the blood mist.

These formations were connected in sequence, creating a safe path out of the blood mist.

The dragon crossing the river must have passed through this road, so that it could not be polluted by evil gods or parasitized by blood leeches, and thus enter the fishing village smoothly.

The ink painting gave a preliminary glimpse into the Shinto formation.

Now this winding "Shinto" path was clearly presented in his eyes.

There is a way, which is always safer.

Mo Hua himself could see the blood leeches, and it didn't matter whether there was a road or not, but Gu An and the other two were different.

They cannot see the danger, and even if they follow them, they will be dangerous every step of the way.

"Follow me, follow my footsteps, don't go wrong, and don't look around," Mo Hua said.

Gu An and the other three knew the stakes and nodded.

Then Mo Hua took the lead and walked in front. Gu An and the other three also followed Mo Hua's instructions closely and followed closely, not daring to make any mistakes.

Just like this, step by step, for an unknown amount of time, the four of them finally passed through the blood leech parasitic land and set foot on the land of the disappeared fishing village.

This is a land soaked in blood.

It's still not very comfortable. It may take a while to practice Buddhism, and the debt will be paid back later.

Feel sorry.
