Chapter 119: Dead sacrifice toad fishing for mountain god
A blue light represents a dead body.
If this assumption is true.
The number of dead floats may be a desperate number.
At this moment, standing on the bamboo raft, everyone looked up and saw the dim light flickering in the underground lake, like a sea of fire.
And this is only the range that can be seen.
So far, they don’t even know how big the lake beneath them is.
It can be predicted that what you see is just the tip of the iceberg.
Most of it is still shrouded in fog.
The most terrifying thing is.
Those dead bodies had been soaked at the bottom of the lake for who knows how many years, but there was no sign of decay at all.
The facial features are fresh and the eyes are closed.
There was even a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
It seems like I will open my eyes and come back to life at any time.
“Human death sacrifice?”
An idea appeared in everyone's mind.
In addition, they could not think of the second possibility.
It’s just...how many people must be killed to complete such an amazing sacrifice?
"What the hell, whoever comes here is not good, so strike first."
Seeing that the splashing at the bottom of the lake showed no sign of stopping.
More and more female corpses floated up.
From far to near.
There is even a faint tendency to surround the bamboo rafts.
Everyone took off their knives and held their spears tightly.
Staring intently at the female corpse floating slowly with the water.
Even though I'm in the business of fighting, I've seen more dead bodies than an average person would cross in a lifetime.
But there are many taboos in this industry.
The red-clothed evil spirit and the smiling female corpse.
These are the most serious evils, evil things that cannot be suppressed no matter how hard the horoscope is.
Not only those guys, but also Partridge Whistle and others were facing a powerful enemy.
In ordinary fights, there are traces of corpses and bones.
Not like this time.
It came so quietly.
There must be something sinister about something so weird.
Partridge Whistle pressed the twenty-ring mirror box on his waist with his backhand, with a murderous look between his brows.
I noticed the movement on my senior brother.
Hua Ling and the old foreigner looked at each other and their movements were not slow.
One picked up the Qinchuan Bow.
A mirror umbrella slowly opened.
“Do it!”
The partridge whistled and shouted.
Simple three words.
But it seemed that there was a thunder in the hearts of Hua Ling and the old foreigner.
At the same time, the twenty-ring mirror box on his waist has appeared in his hand, his eyes are full of murderous intent, and his whole body is even more indescribable.
Just...
None of the three senior brothers and sisters expected this.
In the blink of an eye.
The floating female corpse outside the bamboo raft disappeared without a trace. Looking underwater again, the faint blue light was like a blown out candle, disappearing into nothingness in an instant.
"How...how could this happen?"
Partridge Whistle frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
In all his years of traveling around the world, this is the first time he has seen such a strange thing.
The coming is strange, and the leaving is strange.
But even a drop of rain cannot evaporate out of thin air, and there is still moisture left behind.
But...
Such a strange scene happened right in front of me.
A pair of eyes swept across.
Unfortunately, there is still silence under the water.
There was no trace of the female corpse.
"Chen..."
Subconsciously, Partridge Whistle turned to look at the other bamboo raft.
In his opinion, Chen Yulou's strength is several times better than his own.
He was born with night eyes again.
No matter how absurd and bizarre things are, they cannot escape his eyes.
However, the sentence has not been finished yet.
Chen Yulou, who had his back to everyone and was staring at the lake, seemed to have noticed something.
A shadow floated in his eyes.
The next moment.
A cold drink exploded in the ears of dozens of people on several bamboo rafts.
“Ashore!”
“What...what?”
"Shore, where did the shore come from?"
The thieves, who were still immersed in the huge shock, looked hesitant and full of disbelief.
The bamboo raft is still floating in the lake.
I don’t know how far away I am from the rocky beach on the shore of the lake.
Should we turn back?
Chen Yulou, who was at the bow of the ship, had already turned around.
A pair of eyes are like a hawk, revealing an indescribable edge.
In the eyes of everyone with doubts, they did not explain much. They just pulled off the wind lantern hanging on the broken bamboo on the bow of the boat and threw it outwards with force.
Crash——
The wind lantern passed through the vast black fog around him, like a meteor falling.
But it was completely different from what he expected when he fell into the water.
In less than a moment, there was a crackling sound inside the lamp, as if it had hit a reef or a cliff by the lake.
The wind lamp was broken, the oil lamp was scattered, large and small, and clusters of flames were all over the ground.
In the uncertain fire.
A black shadow shaped like a mountain gradually emerged.
"Island in the lake?"
"No, it doesn't look like it. Could it be a ghost ship?"
"Why do I feel like a monster?"
People on the boat Everyone was confused.
The fog in the lake was too heavy, and even though it was only ten or twenty meters away, no one noticed the black shadow.
At this moment, with the dim light, it stood so quietly in the water.
Only a faint outline can be seen.
There were also thin shadows hanging down, deep into the water, looking like an old dragon lying on the water, staring at them with teeth and claws.
That black shadow is really weird.
Everyone can’t even imagine what it is?
Even though he was a partridge whistle, he also had a look of astonishment on his face.
Even before crossing the lake, he had already thought about making a change, but now, he felt powerless that everything was completely beyond his expectation and control.
I can’t even see what’s going on.
"Honggu is following me."
"Brother Taoist, Kunlun, you will escort the bamboo raft to the shore."
Everyone was still hesitating.
Chen Yulou’s voice has sounded again.
“Yes, from the shopkeeper.”
The red girl in a long skirt did not hesitate at all.
I stepped hard on the head of the raft with my toes, and the bamboo raft beneath me sank almost an inch into the water, causing countless splashes.
And she also jumped up using the force of the counter-shock.
The rabbit rises and the falcon falls.
The figure is astonishing.
Seeing this scene, the group of thieves screamed in surprise.
But Chen Yulou didn’t even look at it, he just took out the pennies from the hand of the waiter next to him.
It seems that the time has been calculated long ago.
Penny is worth giving away.
The red skirt floated down in mid-air, and a pair of exquisite toes lightly stepped on the bamboo pennant.
“Let’s go!”
Feel the heavy force coming from the palm of my hand.
Chen Yulou's expression did not change at all.
The slender figure curved slightly, and a terrifying force started from the heels, traveled to the waist, ran through the arms, and then exploded in the palms.
In a low voice.
The straight bamboo pole in the hand is like a big bow, lifting up the red girl.
Brush——
This time, the figure in the red dress shot through the air like an arrow from a string.
"Senior brother?"
This scene happened so fast that the eyes of the usually calm old foreigner widened.
Somewhat at a loss.
“Listen to Brother Chen and don’t mess around.”
The partridge whistle secretly exhaled.
The confusion in his eyes has been replaced by perseverance again.
I reminded him in a low voice.
“Yes.”
The old foreigner nodded.
Subconsciously, he clenched Qinchuan's bow.
While the two were talking, the figure in the red dress had passed through the fog on the lake and landed on the black shadow.
Climb over on the spot.
Remove all the energy from your body.
When she stood up, Miss Hong shook her long sleeves, and the two hidden swords that shone with cold light had slipped out of her hands. But when she looked down with a pair of clear eyes.
It was then that I realized that the black shadow beneath me was definitely a dead tree, rather than a ghost ship or a water monster.
Falling shadows all around.
It is the branch that extends and falls from the ancient tree.
Just...
This ancient tree is really big and scary.
Compared with the banyan trees I saw in Worm Valley before, it was several times bigger.
Tilted and half-fallen in the water.
There is almost no difference from an island in the water.
“Shopkeeper, come quickly, it’s safe here.”
Don't hesitate.
Miss Hong concentrated her attention, turned back and shouted softly in the direction she came from.
"Okay!"
Chen Yulou was waiting for her words.
Why are you still hesitating?
At this moment, the blue will-o'-the-wisp on the lake has changed again.
Not just disappear into thin air.
It's more like being pulled by something invisible.
Floating along the lake to the left, not long after, the palm-sized lake to the left of everyone was densely packed with female corpses.
A rough scan.
There are at least hundreds of them.
It looks like the female corpse from before, wearing a plain white shirt.
You can still vaguely see the pale and bloodless faces.
More are naked.
Female corpses gradually gathered.
Finally, it floats to the connection between the underground lake and the cliff.
There seems to be a faint cave entrance there.
At this moment, smoke as bright as blood is constantly rising outside.
Because they are far apart.
Plus the fog is deep.
The thieves on board could not see clearly.
But every time the red mist flashes, a large number of female corpses disappear.
It's like... being swallowed up by a cave.
Seeing this scene, the thieves who always liked to talk a lot were unusually uninterested.
Instead, there was only a feeling like falling into an ice cave, with cold sweat pouring down my forehead.
You can even hear their heartbeats pounding under their chests.
Only Hua Ling is young.
It’s a girl again.
Suddenly seeing so many naked female corpses, my cheeks turned red and I lowered my head, not daring to look any further.
"Wait, Red Mist..."
Partridge Whistle's heart moved.
The messy thoughts in my mind seemed to be sorted out in an instant.
He thought of the red fog mark on the human skin map.
While passing through Worm Valley that day.
He also asked Chen Yulou specifically.
However, the latter seems unclear, only that it may be something like the Bug Valley Fog Barrier.
Now I can see red smoke puffing out from the entrance of the cave.
He finally came to his senses.
It turns out that the red mist on the map refers to it.
But...
He didn't have time to think too much.
Chen Yulou, who had already communicated with Miss Hong, took back his pennant, inserted it into the end of the bamboo raft, and then bent it down hard.
Buzz!
Penny was instantly folded into a crossbow.
As the buzzing sound gradually increased, an astonishing momentum was also building up in the bamboo pole.
Wait for that momentum to accumulate to the extreme.
Chen Yulou suddenly let go and took advantage of the situation to rush out.
Looking from a distance, the whole person seems to be walking on water on the lake.
The water of ten to twenty meters was like a flying bird crossing, without any stagnation in its body, passing by in one breath.
The gang of thieves looked at this scene in amazement, feeling that the shopkeeper Lan Yanwei's lightening skills were becoming more and more powerful.
Only Partridge Whistle faintly noticed something.
But I didn’t see what kind of Taoism it was?
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yulou used his magic to climb over the ancient tree and landed lightly beside Miss Hong.
"The shopkeeper..."
Miss Hong was looking at the deep cave under the cliff not far away.
Suddenly he heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him, and subconsciously turned around. When he saw it was him, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated.
"Well, I'll keep watch here. You go and call them over."
Chen Yulou nodded.
He discovered this place when he crossed the lake before.
The reason why people come ashore is naturally because of the undead insects under the different bottom cave on the cliff.
And this fossil tree happened to fall on the lake, connecting with the entrance of the cave.
Absolutely the best place to stay.
"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll go right away."
Without any hesitation.
The red girl turned around and walked to the other side of the tree.
Even though she had been up there for a while, she still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unreality as she walked past.
How could there be such a big tree in this world?
Still fell into the lake.
She couldn’t even imagine how many people would have to surround her and hug her while she was still alive.
Wait for the red girl to leave.
Chen Yulou glanced around and saw that there was no longer any cover, and the green light was floating in his eyes at night.
In an instant.
The thick fog in front of me seemed to have dispersed.
The line of sight extends further.
He did not stop, but kept approaching the red mist-filled hole in the distance along the tree trunk.
Until seven or eight meters away.
Chen Yulou just stopped.
At this moment, there are fewer and fewer female corpses floating on the water below, but the red mist puffing in the cave is becoming more vivid, scarlet like blood, and looks extremely penetrating.
Others stood quietly in the black mist.
The breath is weak.
It seems to have become one with the fossilized tree beneath him.
If you don’t look carefully, you can hardly notice his presence.
Seeing helplessly the female corpses being swallowed up by the hole, Chen Yulou could not help but frown slightly.
Start by taking a raft down to the lake.
He was thinking about a question.
How can we fish out the undead insects in the cave?
That thing is almost immortal, but it is not a monster.
Otherwise, fishing with the help of a ray of green wood aura will definitely work every time.
"A detour is definitely impossible, not to mention the jade toad in its body, as well as the Kunlun fetus born from heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in it is unimaginable."
In the mist.
Chen Yulou seemed to be talking to himself.
The Jade Toad is the key to the entire King Xian Feng Shui Formation.
The Kunlun fetus in his mouth is the jade fetus in the copper box.
In the original work, Hu Bayi and the others were unrecognizable.
But I couldn’t hide it from him.
The Kunlun fetus is also called the earth-born fetus. It condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it takes tens of thousands of years to develop one.
In Feng Shui, the place where the Kunlun fetus was born is the Tianding Treasure Cave.
It is a spiritual creature that can be encountered but not sought.
It is said that throughout the ages, only the remains of the Yellow Emperor who ascended on a dragon were buried in the fetal position of Kunlun, which is Qiaoshan.
Dong dong dong——
He was still pondering.
There was a sound of intensive footsteps coming from behind.
"Brother Chen..."
Before he even got close, the low voice of the partridge whistle sounded.
Chen Yulou breathed out, turned around and was about to speak, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by something he was holding in his hand.
It was a toad as big as a bull's head.
"Where did this... come from?"
The toad was not dead yet, he was tied up with a corpse rope and held upside down in his hands.
“Under the lake, they are everywhere.”
The partridge whistle was just randomly hunted, and I wanted to let him take a look and ask if anything would happen.
But at this moment.
When Chen Yulou saw the toad, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
Before King Xian and his party came to Zhelong Mountain.
Another group of Yi people have lived here for generations.
They regard the undead insects in the strange bottom cave as mountain gods.
During each sacrifice, toads would be caught from the lake, picked up with bamboo poles and sent into the cave.
It’s just...
I was disturbed by those weird female corpses just now.
My thoughts are messy.
I really didn’t expect it.
At this moment, a sudden inspiration came to him, and he had an idea in an instant.
“What a good thing, brother Taoist.”
“Did you see the entrance of the cave? There is a head there...the big monster is dormant.”
“Next, use It fished out the big monster!”
