Chapter 40, The Other Side

"Just try as you say, we all have to be close together, and we must not be scattered! Let Sister Zhu walk in the middle of the light, and I will fly around you to patrol, and if there are grasshopper corpses near you, I will stab them with my sword." Lan Bingyun said, and everyone agreed.

Yu Yu took the lead and moved first against the rock wall on the right, while the rest of the people followed him and began to slowly circle the green pond in front of him. When everyone walked around the middle of the pond with difficulty, although everyone was very careful, it still caused a commotion in the pond! I saw waves appear in the pond, and the corpses under the waves were slowly approaching Lin Luxian and them.

Grasshoppers are not as agile in the water as they are on shore due to the resistance they experience when they swim in the water. This was also noticed by Lan Bing Yunsuo, who was flying in the air, and she approached the surface of the water and slashed with her sword to try to get close to Lin Luxian's corpse, buying more time for the few of them. The corpses of the grasshoppers that were slashed by Lan Bingyun swam away one after another and sank to the bottom of the pond. But fortunately, there were not as many grasshopper corpses as they had just now, less than twenty.

Ten minutes later, Lin Luxian and the six of them finally all stuck to the rock wall and went around to the opposite bank, and Lan Bingyun also landed from the sky.

"I was glad I suffered you just now, Bingyun!" Lin Luxian said to Lan Bingyun

"It's just, it's a little strange, there are obviously a lot fewer grasshopper corpses in this pond than just now. Zhu Xinyan said suspiciously

"Yes, when we first came to this pond, there were at least a hundred grasshopper corpses in it, but why were there only a dozen or so that swam to us just now?

Looking at the cave in front of them, he said, "I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more dangerous!"

"Finally, we came to the other side, and we had to move forward, and we had no way back anyway, right? Xiao said

After the seven of them continued to walk along the cave in front of them for about ten minutes, the terrain in front of them began to gradually become wider, the top of the cave became higher and higher, and a faint purple light appeared in front of them. The further he went, the brighter the purple light became, and the originally dark cave no longer needed lighting, and Zhu Xinyan extinguished the fire at the top of the staff. Walking in this cave, everyone feels like they are under the atmosphere of a dance hall, which is both mysterious and dreamy.

When we got closer to the rock wall, we found that there were many purple stones of different sizes inlaid in the rock wall and the rock top, the big ones were the size of a human head, and the small ones were the size of a grain of rice, and it was these stones that emitted a light purple light that illuminated the cave.

Puzzled, he touched a purple stone on the rock wall and said, "This should be one of the treasures of the no-man's land, the legendary purple night fluorite! Therefore, fluorite is generally the material used to make night pearls. And this purple fluorite is even rarer, especially the fluorite in this cave, it can continue to emit light without absorbing sunlight! This is a rare treasure for treasure hunters. Many treasure hunters came to this no-man's land to find the legendary Purple Night Fluorite, but most of them died on the way before they saw this fluorite. I've only heard of this purple night fluorite before, and I didn't expect to see it here today. ”

Hearing this, Dian Waterfall grabbed the tip of the long axe, used the axe to pry off a piece of fluorite the size of a goose egg, and then handed it to Zhu Xinyan, "Xinyan, give it! This stone is so beautiful, you take it first, and then use this fluorite to make a necklace." ”

Zhu Xinyan took the fluorite and looked at it for a while, then put the fluorite aside and said, "A few of us are still in danger now, the good luck is unpredictable, I don't know how many grasshopper corpses are waiting for us in front, how can I be in the mood to take this stone with me! ”

The group continued to advance in the purple-lit cavern for a few minutes, and a large open area appeared in front of them. This place is the size of a football field, and above the rock wall and the rock top more than ten meters high, the purple night fluorite is also getting denser and larger. Each of them was at least the size of a goose egg, and this large area of purple night fluorite illuminated the empty area, leaving no darkness. Under the light of purple light, Lin Luxian and the others saw that hundreds of grasshopper corpses had gathered in the center of this clearing! These grasshopper corpses all turned their backs to Lin Luxian and them. And in front of these grasshopper corpses, there is a tall monster, it is devouring a grasshopper corpse, it opens its big mouth, and swallows the grasshopper corpse in its hand in three or two bites! The rest of the grasshopper corpses are not frightened, but rush to the monster first, pushing each other, and their mouths are making bursts of piercing screams, as if they are all saying, "Eat me! Eat me first!"

If you look closely, this monster looks like a huge gray toad. It has bumps on its back, and it sits on the ground more than four meters high, and its big belly sticking to the ground looks like a sumo wrestler! Its two feet are also buried by its big belly, but its two front paws are relatively flexible.

Lin Luxian and the others hid in the distance to observe, and slowly retreated, for fear of alarming the big toad and hundreds of grasshopper corpses.

"These grasshopper corpses are rushing to this big toad to sacrifice, it's crazy... Lan Bingyun whispered

"I think it's a few pounds just because of its big belly. Lin Luxian also whispered

"It's not strange that toads eat grasshoppers, but it's just that how these grasshopper corpses can take the initiative to run in front of this big toad like a demon to sacrifice, it's too terrible. This reminds me of the Wuqian people who have intermarried with our people for generations in Qinhai before. When we saw them, they also formed a circle and offered sacrifices, so that the person in the center of the circle could suck the blood. Zhu Xinyan said

"These grasshopper corpses are not enchanted, probably to survive. "Confused

"What do you mean by that? Xiao asked, confused

Pointing to the big hole behind the big toad in the distance, he said, "Do you see the big hole behind it? If I'm not mistaken, this giant toad should be the legendary earth-digging toad! This earth-digging toad is also one of the ancient giant beasts, it likes to stay in dark and damp places, and is greedy by nature. Its tongue can catapult more than ten meters away in an instant. Don't look at its fat and bulky body, but it digs into the ground quite well! It only takes five minutes to dig a hole ten meters deep. If I'm not mistaken, the big hole behind this digging toad will surely lead to the green pond we saw earlier!"

After a pause, he continued, "This earth-digging toad has rough skin and thick flesh, and it must not be afraid of being corroded by the water in the green pond, so in front of it, these grasshopper corpses have almost no resistance, and there is no other way but to escape!"

In other words, in order to ensure that they are not all eaten, and for the continuation of their race, these grasshoppers will take the initiative to come to the digging toad and feed it with their bodies. And after feeding the digging toad, the rest of the grasshopper corpses will be safe for the time being?

Confused nodded, "Yes, I had some questions just now, but now I have figured it out." When we were bypassing the green pond on the rock wall just now, did you pay attention to the grasshopper corpses swimming towards us? They are all small, they should be minors in the grasshopper corpses, so the other grasshopper corpses will rush to the digging toad to sacrifice, in order to ensure that these underage grasshopper corpses can live longer. ”

"Then this grasshopper corpse is not a simple-minded creature, does it know how to continue the race? If these grasshopper corpses come here every day to sacrifice, and this behavior continues for years... As you can imagine, the number of grasshopper corpses here is unimaginable!" Dian Waterfall said in surprise

"I always think that these grasshoppers are very intelligent creatures, I don't know how, when I see them, I always think of the Blue Shura clan. I always feel that they are inextricably linked with the Blue Shura clan... He pondered

"There are too many questions and dangers along the way, if it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do, thanks to you as a good guide!" Lan Bingyun said to the puzzle

"By the way, you said that in the territory of Qinhai, the Wuqian people there form a circle and let the people in the circle suck blood. This reminds me of a person, can you tell me what that person in the circle looks like?" asked Lin Luxian and them

"He looked like he was in his thirties, his face was pale, his hair, his hair seemed to be white, his eyes were red, and he had black wings on his back. Well, also, it has a line of black characters on its forehead. Anyway, on the whole, he is a bit like a vampire abroad. Lin Luxian said while rethinking

"I'm afraid this person is the king of the demon race, secretly messing with the sky! It was he who defeated Yun Tianhyun back then. "Confused

"It's the Dark Mixed Heaven! Although I hadn't seen the Dark Mixed Sky before, I recognized him at a glance, and he was exactly the same as the one drawn in our ancient books of the Netherworld. If I didn't mention it, I almost forgot to tell you. Xiao said

"What! He's the Demon King?!" Except for Xiao and Confused, the other five exclaimed almost simultaneously

It was these two loud words that alarmed the grasshopper corpse in the distance! The earth-digging giant toad also looked at Lin Luxian and the seven of them. The shocked grasshopper corpse hurriedly turned around and pounced on Lin Luxian and them! Seeing this, Lin Luxian and the others hurriedly ran back! The seven people who were running wildly in the cave could all feel that the grasshopper corpse behind them was getting closer and closer! Dianpu turned around and clenched his long axe and said, "You guys run first! I'll stop them in the cave!"

Zhu Xinyan said, "I'm going to stay and help you too!" and set the staff on fire.

Lin Luxian hurriedly said to the puzzle: "What kind of trick did you use just now, the Ten Thousand Lock Array, you can use it to stop these grasshopper corpses." ”

As he ran, he said, "After the Abyss Ten Thousand Lock Array is used, it can't be used again in one day!"

Blocked in the cave, the waterfall swung his long axe vigorously to prevent the grasshopper corpse from approaching. However, the cave in this section is still relatively wide, although the waterfall blocked some of the grasshopper corpses, but there are still many grasshopper corpses bypassing the waterfall and climbing over from both sides of the rock wall and the top of the rock. These grasshopper corpses who had crossed the waterfall wanted to pursue Lin Luxian and the five of them, but they were stopped by the flames of Zhu Xinyan not far away, and they couldn't pass through the cave for a while. But the grasshopper corpses that came one after another kept jumping left and right, dodging the attacks of the two, and constantly consuming the physical strength of the two. Dianpu and Zhu Xinyan also gradually felt powerless.

"No, we have to go back to help the two of them! we are partners, we are a family!" Lan Bingyun stopped running away and began to return, Lin Luxian and Ao Yi could only follow her back, Xiao and Yu had no choice but to follow them.

Just when Dian Pu and Zhu Xinyan were about to run out of physical strength and were retreating one after another, Lin Luxian and the five rushed to support them again. Except for Lin Luxian, everyone showed their weapons and gathered around to defend against the grasshopper corpse. With the joint efforts of the seven of them, they confronted the grasshopper corpse all the way and slowly retreated. And the slowly approaching grasshopper corpse was not in a hurry to attack the seven of them. When all seven of them retreated to the edge of the green pond, everyone realized that the digging toad had already floated in the pond and was waiting for them!

"What can I do, they're trying to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

"Looks like we can only fight with them!" said Confusion, clenching the two-handed knife in his hand

On the shore of the pond, Dianpu and Zhu Xinyan were still fighting the grasshopper corpse with their remaining strength, and Ao Yi was also on the side to assist them. Lan Bingyun flew in the air to attack the surrounding grasshopper corpses. Xiao and Confused locked their eyes on the body of the digging toad.

After Xiao and Confused glanced at each other, Yu Confused ran a few steps, then jumped into the air and slashed at the digging toad in the pond with a knife.

Seeing the confusion rushing into the air, the digging giant toad quickly opened its big mouth and spit out its long tongue, trying to stick to the confusion. The bewildering body was an illusory spirit, and the tongue of the digging toad went straight through the illusory body, and the confusion jumped in front of the digging toad, and he stabbed it down from the upper lip of the digging toad with a knife! This knife penetrated the upper lip of the digging toad, and the long tongue of the digging toad's mouth was also stabbed, and he couldn't spit it out for a while. Then, Xiao also quickly jumped up, jumped on the head of the digging giant toad, and stabbed it in the head with a spear. The giant toad that was stabbed hurriedly shook its head, trying to shake off the Xiao on its head. Just as he was about to fall into the pond, he was hugged by Lan Bingyun who flew in, and after that, Lan Bingyun put him on the shore.

"Thank you! Lan Bingyun! Confused has already entangled the giant toad! Now that it can't use its long tongue, I gave it a shot, but it won't last long, can you fly over and attack its eyes? If you can help Confused, it would be even better. Xiao said eagerly to Lan Bingyun

"I'll try!" After Lan Bingyun finished speaking, he flew to the side of the giant toad's head and slashed at the giant toad's eyes. The blind toad shook its head quickly, and then its body began to sink, trying to sink to the bottom of the pond. Seeing this, he hurriedly borrowed his feet and stared hard at the mouth of the digging toad, and then jumped back hard, and a backflip landed on the shore in style. But just after the digging toad sank into the pond, many grasshopper corpses began to crawl out of the pond one after another. It didn't take long for Lin Luxian and the seven of them to be surrounded by many grasshopper corpses, and they couldn't advance or retreat. At this time of crisis, at the shore of the pond, a huge circular whirlpool suddenly appeared, and the wind whistled in the whirlpool, and a trace of thunder could be faintly seen.

"It's a space-time tunnel!Everyone!Either die here or go in!The space-time tunnel appeared for a short time, everyone hurry up and make a decision!" shouted loudly

"Of course it's going in! life is the most important thing!" Dian Waterfall said quickly

The current situation is critical, and everyone is not allowed to make a choice, Dianpu used the last bit of strength in his body to swing the long axe and turn a few times forward, driving away all the grasshopper corpses in front of him, and shouting "It's now, hurry! Everyone runs into the space-time tunnel!"

Confusion also said, "Hurry up, you guys run in, I'll break off!" Then, the waterfall that was about to fall from exhaustion also entered the space-time tunnel.

After everyone hurriedly ran into the space-time tunnel one after another, there was only confusion left, but he did not enter the space-time tunnel. A few seconds later, the space-time tunnel suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

"I don't have to take these people with me anymore!" he turned around, raised his middle finger at the grasshopper corpse that was coming at him, then knelt on one knee and slapped his right hand on the ground!
