The hunchbacked old man thought for a moment, then took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on his body, and then jumped into the water.
When Jiang Qin passed by here last time, he took a general look at this lake and found that there was nothing else in this lake except for some ordinary fish, let alone demon beasts. But he passed by in a hurry last time, and although he didn't find the demon beast, he still had the caution he should have.
Although this lake is not wide, the depth is amazing, and Jiang Qin and others have sunk for more than 100 zhang in a row and have not yet bottomed out.
Jiang Qin had already felt that his shield was a little unstable under the huge water pressure, but Bu Xinyue, who had only cultivated in the Qi refining period, continued to sink like a nobody. Above her head, a pale blue bead swirled, emitting a blue light that burst through the surrounding water, forming a cavity.
At this time, it was already pitch black all around, except for the three shields, which were shining like lights in the night. Jiang Qin deliberately removed the shield, so as not to become a target. But if he really did that, under such a large water pressure, his mana consumption could be imagined.
Jiang Qin stuck one hand on the shield, stabilizing the shield while guarding.
At this moment, the blue light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Bu Xinyue also disappeared into Jiang Qin's divine sense.
Jiang Qin took out a long stick and cautiously came to the place where Bu Xinyue disappeared, hoping to find something.
At this time, a hand grabbed his shield violently, and when Jiang Qin was about to swing his stick, this hand showed a tortoiseshell-like thing.
Jiang Qin stopped attacking and stretched out his hand to pull it.
Unlike what he imagined, Jiang Qin easily pulled this person into his shield. However, the man was covered in black mud and emitted a foul smell.
"Fairy Bu, are you okay?" Jiang Qin opened his mouth and said.
"Thank you seniors for saving me, I'm fine. But we might have a bit of trouble going forward. Bu Xinyue first thanked Jiang Qin for saving him, and then used a spell to summon clean water to clean it. It seems that no matter what the circumstances, the woman can't stand the dirt she is all over.
"Trouble? Do you mean this sludge? After Jiang Qin finished speaking, his robe shook, and a fireball shot out.
By the light of the fire, they could be seen at the entrance to an even narrower trench. The trench was only four or five feet wide, and it was covered with a thick layer of silt wherever the fire went.
The sludge was not static, and when the fireballs appeared, they danced like crazy, wrapping them in layers. Then there was a muffled sound, and the fireball went out.
"The senior is right. This sludge is something between plants and animals, which cannot be killed or destroyed. They generally do not actively attack, but they will catch anything that dares to touch them, and only fire can damage them. If there's a lot of this sludge here, we'll be consumed. Bu Xinyue said.
"What's going on?" The hunchbacked old man leaned up and asked.
"It's nothing, Fairy Bu was accidentally attacked by the mud." Jiang Qin said.
"Attacked by silt? Could it be ......" The hunchbacked old man seemed to remember something when he heard Jiang Qin's words, and a burst of ecstasy swelled up on his face.
"What does my brother know?" Jiang Qin asked.
"Brother, we may have a big chance!" The hunchbacked old man said excitedly.
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this sludge is called the Ember of Night, and there is a chance that a spirit vine called the Stone Vine will grow in the very center of it. This substance has no other effect, that is, after smearing the body with its juice, it can increase the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the monk by three times in a certain period of time. My brother should know what that means. The hunchbacked old man said.
"If this thing is really so magical, then its role is not under the auxiliary items like the Ghost King Crystal." Jiang Qin touched his chin and said.
"Not bad! This is definitely the best thing to help with the Yudan. Do you want to go and see it? The hunchbacked old man asked.
"Fairy Bu, where is the Zhenhu Tower?" Jiang Qin did not answer the hunchbacked old man's question, but asked about Bu Xinyuelai.
"According to the hexagram, it should be in this trench." Bu Xinyue said.
"In that case, let's go down." Jiang Qin said.
"My water-repellent beads have just been swept away by those silt, can my senior take me for a ride?" Bu Xinyue looked at Jiang Qin and said.
After Jiang Qin glanced at her, he smiled slightly and said, "Since the fairy doesn't dislike it, then come with me." After speaking, Jiang Qin's sleeve robe moved, wrapped around Bu Xinyue's willow waist, and sank like a trench.
The hunchbacked old man looked at Jiang Qin's back, smiled, and followed.
As he continued to go down, the expression on Jiang Qin's face became more and more solemn. Because he found that the sludge seemed to have the ability to isolate the detection of the divine sense, he could only discover the existence of the sludge when his shield hit the sludge.
Although he quickly managed to use a fire spell to escape, he was able to break through three shields. Whenever the shield was broken, Bu Xinyue would always shake her sleeve robe, as if she was disgusted with the mud, but some unknown powder melted into the water with her movement.
Jiang Qin didn't seem to notice Bu Xinyue's small movements, but just took out another piece of talisman paper and pasted it on his body, and then continued to sink down with Bu Xinyue.
Although Jiang Qin opened the way in front, the hunchbacked old man also hit a lot of mud, causing the shield to break twice. However, he did not show any impatience, but had a look of ecstasy on his face.
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Qin and the three stopped. It's not that they don't want to go, it's that they can't, because the whole trench below is stuffed with silt, and there is not a single gap at all.
Looking at the unknown thickness of the silt below, Jiang Qin said, "What do you have to say, brother?" ”
"Is this ...... I think I'll do the rest, and you guys die! The hunchbacked old man said frantically. Then he took out the True Treasure Flying Sword, and drove it without taking time to pinch it.
Faced with the sudden attack of the hunchbacked old man, Jiang Qin did not take out a spiritual weapon to resist, and Bu Xinyue, who was beside him, did not have a hint of surprise, as if he had already known that he would do it.
The hunchbacked old man was shocked when he saw this, and he wanted to urge the real treasure to attack. But he found that his arms were disobedient, as if they had no bones or muscles. Then he found that his whole body had become like this, and he saw his heels at an incredible angle......
Seeing the hunchbacked old man's body sink into the mud uncontrollably, Jiang Qin raised his hand and took the old man's storage bag into his hand, and then put it into his arms without changing his face.
"How did Fairy Bu know that he had bad intentions?" Jiang Qin asked.
"The younger generation learned through the natal compass that the previous compass showed that I would be in danger, but I would get help from nobles." Bu Xinyue replied respectfully.
"I see. How did the fairy determine that I was what you call a nobleman, and not him? Jiang Qin asked.
"It can be seen from the seniors who saved me just now." Bu Xinyue said.
"In that case, I was almost turned into a pool of blood by you." Jiang Qin said lightly.
The senior laughed. With the prudence and caution of my seniors, even if I poisoned my seniors, I would not have succeeded. Bu Xinyue hurriedly said.
"It's hard to say. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Fairy Bu should not make unnecessary moves next. Jiang Qin said.
"The seniors don't worry, the juniors don't dare." Bu Xinyue bowed and said.
Jiang Qin nodded lightly, and then plunged into the mud with Bu Xinyue.
In fact, after seeing the hunchbacked old man this time, Jiang Qin saw that something was wrong with the old man. Originally, he, like Jiang Qin, was only in the middle stage of foundation building, and there was still some distance from the later stage. But in a short period of time, it suddenly jumped to the late stage, and the aura also changed a lot, a bit like the breath of those people in the Second God Sect.
In addition, the old man on this trip looked at him many times along the way, so he secretly sent a message to Bu Xinyue to see if he had any way to control the old man.
After Bu Xinyue learned of Jiang Qin's idea, she proposed to use poison. The poison she used was claimed to be a blood-turning poison that would never be spared below the Jindan stage, and this poison had a characteristic, as long as it did not stimulate a large amount of mana, it was harmless.
This was also Jiang Qin's last chance to give the hunchbacked old man, but he obviously didn't seize it, and in the end, all the bones and internal organs in his body turned into blood and water, and he died here.
At this time, inside the mud, Jiang Qin and Bu Xinyue each stood a fire attribute spirit soldier on the left and right, and they waved their arms indifferently, shooting out fist-sized fireballs to disperse the silt attached to the shield.
However, as we get closer to the center, the resistance increases, and from time to time there are some fast, sharp-toothed strange fish. These monster fish are ordinary fish, and they have no other means of attack except for sharper teeth.
They kept rushing up, and they were constantly bombarded by the spirit soldiers, and slowly the mud began to take on a bloody color.
As time passed, Jiang Qin felt that something was wrong, because the sludge no longer swarmed up, but hovered near them, neither attacking nor retreating.
At this time, a faint blue light attracted Jiang Qin's attention, and when he looked at it, it was a vine only the thickness of his little finger.
The vines are turquoise, as if carved from the finest jade, and the vines are smooth and leafless, twisted and coiled. Its head and tail are stuck in the mud, revealing only the middle section.
"This is the stone vine." Jiang Qin looked at the vines with fiery eyes and said.
Then Jiang Qin's divine sense urged, and a spirit soldier stepped out of the shield and walked towards the vines.
Before it could get close to the vine, a black light passed through its chest.
However, this had no effect on the spirit soldier, and I saw it keep walking towards the vine and grabbed it in his hand.
