Chapter 261: The Great Army in the River
"Ahh With an exclamation, Su Ling jumped back a little hurriedly, and just now he inadvertently stepped on a loose stone, not wanting the stone to fall off directly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Staggered back a few steps, accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel, Su Ling sat directly on the ground without standing firmly, she looked at the dark "ground" in front of her blankly, and only after a while did she come to her senses and shouted: "Dead White Tiger, why didn't you tell me when you found out, do you know that I almost died!" ”
"Aren't you still alive and well?" The white tiger said lightly, as if it had nothing to do with it.
Su Ling rolled his eyes fiercely, stood up, clapped his hands, and said while dusting off his body: "Anyway, if I die, you will be buried with you, and it is good to have an ancient divine beast go to Huangquan with me." ”
Su Ling heard the white tiger sigh softly and said, "Could it be that you don't have confidence in your own skills?" If you think about it carefully, if you put it before you practiced demon arts, you would have been able to deal with such a critical situation just now? ”
"I..." The latter was speechless, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be really as the white tiger said, when Su Ling's feet stepped on the stone, the stone had all fallen off, plus she was already concentrating on the surroundings, and she didn't pay attention to her feet at all, half of the gravity of her entire body was carried down by the stone, if she was a month ago, she would definitely have fallen, but she had the ability to dodge backwards, and concentrated the demonic power on her feet as quickly as possible.
Because the situation just now was too dangerous, so that Su Ling was still apprehensive, she tentatively took two steps forward, and finally found the critical point, looked down, and was shocked again.
In fact, the place where she stood was the edge of a cliff, and the bottom of the cliff from the top down was actually a long and wide river, from where Su Ling stood to the opposite bank, it was ten zhang away, and the length of the river was unimaginable, there was no source above, no end below, it seemed to cross the entire mountain.
But she always felt that the river water looked wrong, and after a closer look, she found that it was not water at all in this river, but spiritual water compressed by spiritual power, which was the same principle as the lake water of the Five Elements Lake.
What's even more amazing is still to come, Su Ling even saw that there were small black dots at the bottom of the river, densely arranged vertically and horizontally, and even had been specially arranged by someone, her eyes widened, and asked, "What is under the river?" Frog eggs? If you think about it, it seems to be quite similar, but Su Ling seems to have forgotten the height between the cliff and the bottom of the river.
"It's not an egg, it's a person." The white tiger replied, but seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and corrected: "To be precise, it should be a ghost, so you can see it, if you change it normally, you will only think that this is an ordinary river." ”
Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Ghost! So the countless little black dots below are all ghosts, and they are standing there honestly? ”
"Yes." The white tiger was not surprised at all, because it had already guessed the moment Su Ling opened the bronze door.
"So, are these people the souls of people in prison who are pretending to be 'sick'?" Su Ling asked, frowning tightly at the same time, because these neatly arranged souls made her heart furious, and these phalanx of souls seemed to be ready to send troops at any time.
"Not really." Baihu denied, "First, there are only a limited number of prisoners in this prison, and there must be a limit in the number of people who have to do it without knowing it." The second is that the scale of this prison is too small, and the total number of upper and lower floors is only about five hundred, and the group of souls at the bottom of the river has tens of thousands, to say the least. So there must be other ways for them to get the dead. ”
"Hmm..."Su Ling nodded, agreeing with the White Tiger's inference in her heart, she rubbed her chin and muttered, "How can I get a large number of dead corpses...... War! Yes, it's war! Not only can make others unaware, but also logically, it is the way of war! ”
The white tiger's eyes also lit up, and he nodded: "It does make sense." ”
For example, today's three points, showing a three-legged model, the big countries are in charge, although they have formulated a truce agreement with each other, but the secret fighting between the three kingdoms of water, fire, and fantasy continues, and there are psychics from time to time, it is difficult to ensure that there is no bloody and brutal war in this world. The big countries are still like this, but those small countries, without the constraints of a paper treaty, I am afraid that the degree of annexation and war will only increase...
"You say, what is the Situ family going to do with so many dead souls?" Su Ling asked in a muttering voice, because he couldn't figure it out, so his mind opened, "White Tiger, did you say that there will be spirit beasts that eat people's souls?" ”
Baihu paused before saying, "Hmm... I have been in the human body for thousands of years, and the things of the outside world have long been unclear, and most of the current spirit beasts are produced by hybridization, and many kinds of bloodlines are mixed together, so it is difficult to say that there will not be such a genetic mutation. ”
"Genetic mutation...," Su Ling muttered, "You said, if the Situ family wants to inject these souls into the body of a monster at the same time, make it enhance its power, and then become a very deterrent psychic master of the Situ family, is it possible?" It was the only reason she could think of.
"It's not impossible, but it's very dangerous to make psychic beasts enhance their skills by pulling out seedlings, because if you pour too much energy at once, the spirit beasts will not be able to stand it, and then have a mental breakdown, and then it will be even more troublesome, and it is better to be honest and honest to fight monsters and upgrade to be down-to-earth."
Su Ling pursed his lips, and there was no more inference.
After a few seconds, the white tiger said again: "Since you can't figure it out, let's go down and take a look." ”
"Go down?" Su Ling's eyebrows jumped, the night he first arrived at the Spirit Village, the memories of being hung in the Five Elements Lake were all remembered, and he couldn't help but tremble.
The white tiger seemed to guess her thoughts, and said with relief: "This river will not be like the Five Elements Lake, it is all normal spiritual arts, and there is no well at the bottom of the river that connects to the underworld, not to mention that you have demonic energy to protect yourself, and ordinary monsters can't enter your body." ”
"Really?" Even so, Su Ling still had palpitations, and repeatedly confirmed whether it was really safe.
She knows very well that if she doesn't go into the water this time, it will be even more impossible in the future, seeing that the implementation of the prison escape plan is about to come to time, and if she can understand a little more in the case of life and death, she will have more hope of living.
Thinking of the purpose of the Spirit Village sending her here, maybe it was to investigate this terrifying incident clearly, thinking of this, she strengthened her determination, lifted her pants and said, "Okay, then I'll go down and investigate, and see what kind of trick this old thief Situ Jingsi is doing!" ”
