Chapter 681 Black Bone Fish
"Wear this sachet."
Hua Xiaolan pinched her nose, took out two sachets and threw them to Fu Qingzhou and Lin Wangshu: "Wear them With it, the corpse poison will not invade the body - but if the corpse poison becomes too strong for a while and you feel something strange in your body, you will open the sachet and eat the contents."
Fu Qingzhou took it and was talking. He was about to put it in front of his nose and smell it, but he didn't expect that the sachet moved slightly in his hand.
He was startled: "Are there living creatures here?"
"You'd better not know."
Hua Xiaolan smiled but said: "When it comes time to eat, I advise you not to watch."
Fu Qingzhou : "..."
On the other side, Lin Wangshu took the lead and jumped out of the boat, heading towards the Yin Spring.
Strictly speaking, this should not be called "spring", but a stream.
It comes from the higher side of the mountain and flows down the river along a slight slope. The water is not fast. Although the color of the water is mixed with some strange dark black, the water is actually very clear and there are even traces of water in the water. Some small black fish the size of a thumb are swimming.
“For the Tiankeng underground river where monsters are born, is this place considered the upstream or the downstream?” Fu Qingzhou asked with a frown.
Hua Xiaolan said: "Didn't Elder Ma write it down in his notes? The big river below the tiankeng flows under the mountains and comes out of the west valley to become a yin spring. The terrain of Shiwan Mountain is complex, and the tiankeng The ground may be higher than here."
"Then we have to go upstream." Lin Wangshu said softly, "Let's go back to the source first."
Without any nonsense, the three of them started walking up the Yinquan River.
This time they did not take Lin Wangshu's boat. The corpse poison in this place was full of air. Even if there was a spirit deficiency, they did not dare to spit it out at will. The consumption of real energy here could only go out but not in, so naturally it could be saved. Then save.
"The thing in the stream should be the black-bone fish that Rong Yu mentioned, right?"
Fu Qingzhou looked at the fish in the water and asked: "The corpse poison here is so heavy that the vegetation is difficult to There are no animals or birds nearby, and there are not even flies. How can this kind of fish survive in it? "
"What's so strange about this?"
Hua Xiaolan said casually: "Even if It is the scariest and most dangerous place in the world, and there are also living creatures. There are countless mysteries in this world, so why is it strange that a fish that lives on corpse poison appears?"
"No... I seem to understand what Mr. Fu is wondering about." Lin Wangshu frowned slightly and said, "The special thing about this black bone fish may be related to evil spirits."
Fu Qingzhou smiled.
Before he spoke, Hua Xiaolan slapped her head: "That makes sense!"
Her eyes brightened and she said: "What Ruorongyu said is true, manipulating monsters and manipulating evil The blood poison method is the same... Then this black bone fish may have great similarities with the demon!"
As soon as he said this, Lin Wangshu didn't hesitate at all, and he moved into the stream. wave.
With a splash, a water ball wrapped in a black bone fish broke away from the stream and floated towards the three of them.
The little fish in the water polo didn't notice anything strange at all and was still swimming left and right.
The three of them took a closer look and saw that the thumb-sized black fish was actually translucent, and its "blackness" was the blackness of the fish bones.
“No wonder it’s called black bone fish, it’s a simple and crude way of naming it.”
Fu Qingzhou looked at the little fish carefully: “What’s so special about it?”
"In my records of Ten Thousand Poison Mountains, this fish feeds on meat and digests it very quickly. No matter how big the beast or carcass is, they can eat it dry in an instant, as if there is no need for digestion and excretion."< br>
Hua Xiaolan replied: "It is precisely because of this that they can be used as the main material for refining bad blood poison."
"How much you eat..." Fu Qingzhou frowned and said: " This is not like the evil spirit."
"Gu..."
Lin Wangshu said softly: "I have been fighting the evil spirit on the front line for more than a month, and I am not afraid of the evil spirit. I dare to say that I know it deeply, but I also have some understanding - I personally think that the special feature of those monsters is not their escape, but their use of poison."
"Whether they actively hurt people or are killed and injured by people, they can always leave various poisons on people... They are like a living poison furnace."
News After saying this, Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up: "Yes! And this thing can also affect people's sanity! Rong Yu used this trick before, and it affected Hua Xiaolan, didn't it?"
"Not bad." Hua Xiaolan said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to determine how many poisons and poisons are hidden in their bodies."
"Headmaster Lin guessed that this black bone fish is related to the evil spirits. Is it related to the ability to control witchcraft?" Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.
"It's just a guess."
Lin Wangshu smiled and said: "Since Yinquan River is the downstream of the Tiankeng underground river, then these black bone fish probably come from the place where the monsters were born, and they are It has an amazing ability to eat carrion..."
"However, there is no point in guessing." Fu Qingzhou shook his head and said: "Continue upward, we can't see anything about these two small fish. "
Lin Wangshu nodded and waved his hand, and the water polo returned to the Yin Spring. The little black bone fish also returned to the familiar stream and swam leisurely.
The three of them continued upward, walking, when they suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
Of course, those were not human footsteps, but those of beasts.
The three of them followed the sound and saw, more than a hundred steps away, a leopard chasing a deer, one after the other, rushing through the forest very quickly.
They rushed too fast, probably before they could feel the stench and discomfort of the corpse smell here, they had already rushed into the Yinquan River.
Then, the deer and the leopard stepped into the Yin Spring Water!
The Yinquan River is actually very narrow, just over ten feet apart. With the running speed and stride length of this deer and leopard, they can cross it in the blink of an eye.
However, the moment they stepped into the stream, something changed suddenly.
The black bone fish that had been peacefully surrounding them suddenly seemed to have gone crazy and suddenly rushed towards the two beasts!
Their speed was staggering. Almost as soon as the two beasts stepped into the stream, their ankles were eaten away by these black bone fish!
The two beasts wailed and fell into the water. The black-bone fish immediately rushed forward to gnaw more crazily. In the blink of an eye, most of the two beasts' bodies were turned into bones.
They didn’t even shed blood. In other words, the moment the blood dripped out, they were already swallowed by the fish.
"Look!"
Hua Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed not far away and said: "They can also escape!"
Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned around to look, only to see A small group of black bone fish that came upstream to compete for food actually passed through a large rock in the middle of the stream like a demon escaping from the ground!
"They are really related to evil spirits."
Lin Wangshu also saw this scene and thought thoughtfully: "We should leave a message here. If we can't get out later, At least this discovery should be left for future generations to continue to explore.”
After saying that, he immediately raised his hand, captured the stream water, condensed the water into a sword, and carved words on the exposed stone beside him.
Water splashed everywhere, stone chips flew, and in the blink of an eye, two lines of words were written.
“When living things enter the stream, the black-bone fish will go crazy and swarm to devour them until they die.”
“Also, the black-bone fish can escape. There may be poison in the body, which is closely related to evil spirits."
After writing, he smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go."
Fu Qingzhou solemnly said: "Master Lin has thought carefully about it."
"I don't dare."
Lin Wangshu chuckled and said: "Young hero Fu just never thought about defeat. He is very brave and I admire him." "
"Stop complimenting each other." Hua Xiaolan urged: "Hurry up."
This time, the three of them didn't go far.
In just a cup of tea, we arrived at the "Xixi Valley" mentioned in Elder Ma's notes.
It is said to be a valley, but it is actually a small mountain col. The Yinquan River flows out of a narrow mouth of this small mountain col. The narrow mouth is dark and deep, and it seems that it is only enough for one person to bend down and enter.
"There are also black bone fish in the water flowing out here...don't take risks."
Lin Wangshu said: "You two, be prepared, I will help you to open up water."< br>
