Chapter 123: Monsters at the bottom of the river
"Haha! I still have many abilities and advantages that you haven't noticed yet, Xiaoran, if you want to know, I can tell you the same. Jian Tan said exaggeratedly.
"No need. Yan Ranxi looked away.
Jian Tan breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Ranxi's perceptual ability was really strong, if he was in that world, he would definitely be able to become a ......
What are you thinking?
"Now that we've confirmed that the old man has landed here, are we going to check the surveillance along the road?" asked Yan Ranxi.
"No, the marine police should start salvage, and after the salvage is completed, I will decide on the next action. ”
"Officer Nalan, aren't you afraid that if time drags on for too long, you won't be able to find others?"
"I've got my own measure. After hearing this answer, Yan Ranxi felt a little puzzled and didn't say anything more.
In fact, there is one thing Jian Tan didn't say, in the monitoring screen, ordinary people may not be able to see it, but Jian Tan saw it, a trace of black gas lingering on the old man's body, the word "half-puppet" flashed in Jian Tan's mind, this old man may be infected by black gas, his own every move may be abnormal at any time, or uncontrollable, as for the source of this black gas, just looking at the monitoring, Jian Tan can't judge, maybe salvage the boxes of "frozen products" that the old man deliberately threw away, you can draw conclusions.
"Let's go back and wait for news. Jian Tan said.
The two walked back to the unit side by side along the road, and Yan Ranxi may have been dissatisfied with Jian Tan's work attitude, so he sulked and didn't say a word along the way.
Jian Tan was a little helpless, although Yan Ranxi had already experienced some things that ordinary people had not experienced, but the more she knew about these things, the deeper she would fall unconsciously, and it would be easy for her to fall into a dangerous situation, even if she misunderstood, she couldn't say it.
"Angry?" Before entering the office, Jian Tan still spoke, and he still didn't want to see her unhappy.
"Nope. Yan Ranxi denied it.
"I promise you, I'll find out. Jian Tan said.
"You don't need to be responsible for me, you just need to be responsible for the case, I'm going to get busy. After Yan Ranxi finished speaking, he returned to his seat.
Jian Tan chuckled inwardly, and it was really the person who made me have no choice.
Will Jian Tan really wait for the water police to salvage him? Of course not.
At night, there is a black figure standing under the arch bridge of the Z River, watching the boat with red and blue lights shining in the distance gradually move away, and the occasional lights on both sides of the bank cross her figure, the river flows faster with the night wind, and the night is even more bottomless, and the undercurrent is continuous, even if the clothes are blown by the cold wind, the pair of dark pupils like the night are still very calm.
In order not to attract too much attention, Jian Tan dressed in black and watched at the bottom of the bridge for a long time in the night, considering the weather, he knew that the marine police would be the first to inspect the environment tonight, and would not carry out salvage so quickly, so she had been waiting for them to leave.
Jian Tan made a decision, she planned to dive into the bottom of the river to investigate, the original Jian Tan would not do this, but since the last time she fought against Xuanyuan Zhe, the power of Xuanyuan Zhe's Xuan Lei Technique unexpectedly inspired the awakening of her fifth evil bead, and the awakening of the fifth evil bead also made her own spatial law comprehend one more ability - space isolation, Jian Tan was also very surprised at the time, could it be that the awakening of each evil pearl would stimulate a new spatial skill? This thought was immediately extinguished by Jian Tan himself, and the fifth bead woke up, which stimulated the fourth spatial skill, which means that this is not the case.
Spatial isolation, as the name suggests, is to trap yourself or others in an independent space, not affected by the outside world, which is a bit similar to the shield, but different, because the shield is only a point-to-point defense attack, and spatial isolation is to isolate even the outside air. However, Jian Tan didn't know how long this independent space could last, or how much force it might withstand, so tonight was also the best time to experiment.
Jian Tan used a space isolation for himself at the bottom of the bridge, feeling that there was a thin layer of transparent energy outside his body, isolating the cold wind from himself, and now the space he was in was at a constant temperature, and his own strength did not consume a lot, Jian Tan was very satisfied for the time being.
"Plop. Jian Tan's agile figure jumped into the icy river, Jian Tan could clearly see the panting river flowing around him, but he couldn't push himself half a minute, and he couldn't feel half of the cold of the river, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. However, Jian Tan also discovered that when swimming, especially when swimming in the opposite direction, the spatial isolation will begin to consume his own strength, fortunately, it is not much, Jian Tan still likes this skill very much.
Jian Tan sank the strange force under her feet, and slowly dived deep into the bottom of the river, she found that although the river looked calm during the day, there were still a lot of undercurrents underground, some of the undercurrents at the bottom of the river were like horizontal columns of water, and some were like a spinning top, if it was an immature diver, it was easy to be swept into the undercurrent, and became the soul of the Z River.
Although it is common for a river to have undercurrents, it is unusual for so many undercurrents to be in the inner waterways of a city, both in terms of number and the strength of the undercurrents, indicating that there is something unusual at the bottom of the river.
The deeper she dived, the dimmer the light at the bottom of the river, Jian Tan didn't plan to use the lighting skills, she paused in one place and Jian Tan didn't swim forward, she closed her eyes so that her eyes could adapt to the dark environment as soon as possible. By the time he opened his eyes again, Jian Tan could barely see the bottom of the river, which was full of mud and sand that would suck people's bodies, and Jian Tan swam all the way in the direction of the river's flow.
After swimming for a while, the vision became clearer and clearer, and there was nothing to be found for the time being, but the undercurrent became more and more dense, and the undercurrent was mixed with many creatures at the bottom of the river and some unseen debris surging in one direction, as if there was a huge suction cup in front of them to attract them.
It seems that those boxes were also pulled by this force? Jian Tan closed his eyes and quietly used his soul's perception to dive towards the depths of the dense undercurrent, and the soul's perception was like a sharp arrow that shot out, pulling Jian Tan's soul to trace the end of the undercurrent.
"Bang!" A muffled sound swirled in his mind, and Jian Tan opened his eyes at the same time, and sure enough, the place where the undercurrent flowed had an unusual power! Just now, his perception was to hit the barrier of that layer of power, and automatically reflected the results of the investigation, and Jian Tan sped up and swam forward.
Finally came to the place where the soul perception reached, that is, the location of that layer of enchantment, Jian Tan was surprised to find that there were several undercurrents intersecting together, and countless rays were shooting towards the same point, forming a huge circular water ball, the water ball continued to rotate under the watering of the undercurrent, its color was very dark, compared to the river flowing around, it seemed deeper. The blackness of the river is due to the color of the sky, but the blackness of this water ball is its essence!
Jian Tan's eyes froze, I'm afraid that the initiator of this water polo is a guy who knows how to form formations. Gently touching that layer of enchantment with his hand, a force of the enchantment instantly bounced Jian Tan's hand out, because he was intercepted by this enchantment, Jian Tan couldn't tell whether it was a demon or a soul in the enchantment, but one thing can be confirmed, the things in it must be evil, and it has a great relationship with that case.
The water ball is black, but the enchantment on both sides is pale gray, Jian Tan can see that there are human corpses that have been turned into bones, corpses of various creatures, and the stump of a huge shipwreck, which looks very calm inside, and the undercurrent is automatically absorbed when it only comes to the water ball, and it does not have any impact on the space behind the water ball.
Jian Tan found that the skill of this space isolation would still consume foreign power, and she had unconsciously used half of her external power, but Jian Tan did not plan to retreat, she wanted to go in to see who the other party was.
"Seeking the demon to solve the obstacle and reveal the real body, open!" The barrier was broken open a door, Jian Tan got inside, and withdrew the boundary breaking technique, and the barrier instantly returned to its original state. The water flow inside is really static, and it is very rich and not like ordinary water, why can Jian Tan perceive it? Because the abnormal force consumed by her forward is greater than when there is an undercurrent outside, which shows that she is "pushing" the water here, and the debris in it is falling very slowly, indicating that the quality is very high.
The owner here has not yet come out to greet her, Jian Tan is also very generous to "visit" along the road, she found that there are many boxes stacked on one side of this space, but the contents of the boxes are missing, proving that they have been taken away. With so many boxes, if they all use some "half-puppet" people to achieve their goals, how many lives has this guy killed?
The anger in Jane's heart welled up on her brow.
When did I learn to be so polite? It's not a good habit.
Unleashing his aura of power, Jian Tan held the blue fireball in his hand, glanced at his lips with a disdainful smile, and projected towards the rear of the wreck, the blazing temperature changed the temperature of the river along the way, forming a blue trajectory running into the dark depths!
"Smack!"
"Squeak!" A sharp roar came from the back of the wreck, and a huge black figure jumped out from the back of the wreck, "Poof!" It landed on the bow of the sunken ship with great accuracy, it was a black monster, its four hands were embedded in the bow with sharp claws, its face was like a monkey, its eyes were the size of beans, but it was eight and arranged in a triangular shape, its mouth had no lips, it could be seen that it was densely packed with sharp teeth, its tail was long and had a spiked hammer at the end, and its belly was covered with two webbed eyes, but in the middle it formed a circle, like a large suction cup exhaling.
"Squeak!" The monster didn't seem to be afraid of Jian Tan, and it took a few steps to the left on the bow of the boat, and then a few steps to the right, as if to see if Jian Tan was a delicacy.
"Human, you delivered it yourself, and it looks like I'll have another full meal tonight. The monster's mouth didn't move, but bubbles came out from under its belly.
"Don't you eat carrion? You like it raw, let me send you on your way!"
