Chapter Seventy-One: Three Toxins
Long Sanguan replied, "Oh, they should all be newcomers to the Nether Realm, and they have come to 'worship' Xingyue Lake like you, but there are a lot of people." ”
"Worship?"
Ye Shengqing noticed the other party's words and said with a little doubt.
Long Sanguan had stopped the rune boat at this time, and while he beckoned a few monks to get down from the rune boat, he said to Ye Shengqing: "Although the Nether Realm is large, there is only one place like Xingyue Lake that must be obtained, so those of us who have been in the Nether for a long time are used to calling this process a pilgrimage. ”
While speaking, Long Sanguan had put away the rune boat, and looked at the rune boat that was still riding just now, and now it became a thin piece of rune paper in Long Sanguan's hand, although it was not the first time he saw it, but Ye Shengqing still couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
Although there are many people who come to Xingyue Lake to "worship", it even far exceeds Long Sanguan's expectations.
But Xingyue Lake is also wide enough, Long Sanguan took Ye Shengqing and them to a deserted shore, and said to everyone: "Go and scoop a sip of lake water and drink it directly." ”
Ye Shengqing took a few steps forward, only to see that when the water of Xingyue Lake was close, there were no more stars that he had seen before, and at a glance it was nothing more than clearer, far less magnificent and magical than when he looked down in mid-air.
Ye Shengqing bowed a handful of lake water, only felt that his skin was slightly cool when he started it, and he didn't show coldness, put his hands to his mouth, Ye Shengqing took a sip, and found that the lake water did not have the strange taste he imagined, so he "gurgled" and drank the lake water in his hand.
At this time, Chu Yanwolf on the side suddenly spoke: "There is no one to guard such an important place as Xingyue Lake, so I am not afraid that someone will quietly poison the lake?"
Hearing this, Ye Shengqing almost vomited out a mouthful of lake water.
If he had changed it before, he must have heard it as a joke - who could poison such a large lake water?
But now Ye Shengqing has seen too much incredible, and he doesn't feel that his so-called "common sense" is still very applicable, so he knows that Chu Yanwolf intends to say this, but he is still a little uneasy in his heart.
Seeing Ye Shengqing looking at him with a little uneasiness, Long Sanguan smiled and said: "The water quality of Xingyue Lake is special, among the 40 million kinds of toxins known, there are only 400 kinds that can spread to the entire Xingyue Lake and are not diluted, and there are only three that can still play a role in Xingyue Lake. ”
Ye Shengqing was shocked at that time, where is this dragon Sanguan comforting?
He wondered, "Since there are still three toxins that can take effect, why is Xingyue Lake unguarded?"
Chu Yanwolf just said casually, originally he just wanted to disgust Ye Shengqing, after all, he also wanted to scoop a sip of lake water to drink later.
At this time, he received a semi-affirmative reply from Long Sanguan, and Chu Yanwolf also looked at Long Sanguan with a surprised expression.
I saw that the person in charge of the post station smiled and said: "There are no absolutes in the world, if I tell you that the water of this Xingyue Lake is invincible, you will definitely not believe it." In fact, there is not much difference between knowing and not knowing the three effective toxins. ”
"What do you say?" Ye Shengqing asked.
Long Sanguan himself sat down on the shore and stretched out his hand to bow a handful of water to drink, he smashed his mouth and continued: "Two of them have disappeared from the world for a long time, and it has been ten thousand years since the last one appeared, and they have basically disappeared in the long river of history. And the owner of the last toxin, although it still appears in the world from time to time, believe me, if the existence known as the [Time Poison Demon Venerable] appears in the Nether, there is no need to sneak in the Xingyue Lake to poison it, and it can slaughter the entire Nether Realm with its own strength alone. ”
At this moment, Xiyue Chasing Wind, who had been walking around the lake and was about to return to the shore, suddenly heard an exclamation behind him.
She looked back and saw a blue-black strange fish as big as a buffalo and covered with slippery scales rushing out of the water and biting the left leg of an outer monk at great speed.
"How could it be? I didn't notice this strange fish approaching such a clear lake?"
Although Xiyue Chasing Wind was confused, he immediately turned around, and with a wave of his right palm, he shot a slightly transparent sword qi towards the strange fish.
Shh
The blue-black scales on the strange fish's body were extremely slippery, allowing the sword qi to slide by, and the strange fish itself did not receive any damage.
In just such an instant, the monk of the outer gate who had been bitten by the strange fish on his left leg was dragged by the strange fish and sank into the lake.
"Wait here, I'll take a look. Seeing this, Long Sanguan on the shore explained, and the whole person had swept towards the center of the lake.
Xiyue Zhufeng frowned and looked at the lake where the same door had disappeared, and was hesitating to go down to the rescue, only to hear a muffled "bang" sound from the water, and then the wet figure of the outer door monk came out of the water, still holding a large handful of blue-black scales in his hand.
"Are you okay?" asked Shizuki Chasing Wind.
The outer monk is also a woman, named Li Ruoshui, as a human race, her appearance is relatively ordinary, and being with beauties like Xiyue and Chasing the Wind will make people subconsciously ignore her existence.
"It's okay, it's just a big fish, but I don't have enough strength to catch it, otherwise I'll have grilled fish to eat today." Li Ruoshui shook his head, his face was full of regret, and he could no longer see the slightest panic before.
Although she is only an outer sect monk who has been in the field for less than ten years, who can enter the Sword Sect is not a person who is not amazingly talented? It's just a strange fish, and it really can't hurt her.
But, what about a school of strange fish?
Long Sanguan was still on his way to resist the wind, and when he saw that Xiyue Chasing Wind and Li Ruoshui were out of danger, he was about to slow down a little, but a hint of danger suddenly flashed in his heart.
"Come here!"
Long Sanguan only had time to shout like this, and saw that under the clear and transparent lake, one after another blue and black monster fish that came to the vicinity jumped out of the water, the smallest of them were as strong as a buffalo, and the speed was quite fast, and the figures of Xiyue Zhufeng and Li Ruoshui were just instantly submerged in a blue and black.
When a large number of blue and black monster fish fell back into the water due to gravity, the figures of Xiyue Zhufeng and Li Ruoshui also disappeared in place at the same time.
On the surface of the lake where they disappeared, there were wisps of red that were shocking.
Long Sanguan's eyes were over, and he could no longer live up to the gentleness of the guests he faced when he faced the juniors of the same sect before.
I saw that this Inner Sect Sect monk of the Sword Sect plunged directly into the water with a fierce son, and he swam rapidly in the clear lake water, and his speed was much faster than when he resisted the wind.
With a dragon roar and a sword roar sounding at the same time, the water in the center of Xingyue Lake suddenly exploded thirteen water columns, which were several feet high, mixed with the broken bodies of countless strange fish and soared into the sky.
Xiyue Chasing the Wind and Li Ruoshui also broke out of the water one after another, and the two outer female cultivators had many bite scars on their bodies, but they were not serious, and they were flying towards the shore in horror at this time.
"I'm going to pick them up. Ye Shengqing left such a sentence, he stepped down and jumped up in the air, and raised his right arm at the same time, and pulled out the [Thunder Sword] that was no longer surrounded by electric light with a "choking" sound.
Step on the flying sword and walk with the sword.
Ye Shengqing flew towards the Xiyue Chasing Wind and them quickly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the "worshippers" scattered on different shores, and found that no matter how they dressed, they didn't react at all when they saw such an abnormal situation happening in Xingyue Lake.
Although Ye Shengqing had doubts, he didn't think much about it, he just tried to maintain the balance of his body, after all, the speed of Edgeworth's flight was many times faster than his own wind, and the corresponding balance was more difficult to control.
In the sound of the "bang-la-la" water, a bottomless huge vortex appeared behind Xiyue Zhufeng and Li Ruoshui, and the vortex kept moving and expanding, as if a devil in the water was opening its big mouth and chasing the two Sword Sect female cultivators.
Long Sanguan's figure flew upside down from the whirlpool, and he had at some point in his hand a strange long sword made of pale bones and pitch-black scales.
Holding the black and white "bone scale" long sword, Long Sanguan's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and he slashed towards the center of the vortex.
Ang ——!
In the deafening roar, the speed at which the vortex moved and expanded significantly slower, and the two outer female cultivators, Xiyue Zhufeng and Li Ruoshui, seized the opportunity to sweep out a short distance at once, just to meet Ye Shengqing, who came to respond.
Long Sanguan was vigilant against the whirlpool, hanging far behind, breaking the back for Ye Shengqing.
Fortunately, all the way back to the shore, the four were not attacked again.
"Miss Xiyue, how are you injured?" Ye Shengqing asked.
Xiyue shook her head, her face was slightly pale, and she didn't live up to her previous eccentricity.
And Li Ruoshui came to the Nether with a friend who knew each other, and someone took care of him at this time.
"Something is wrong. ”
Ye Shengqing looked for prestige, and saw that Long Sanguan's expression was still solemn, and while thinking about it, he muttered "Something is wrong".
Before Ye Shengqing could ask, Long Sanguan had already said to himself: "Xingyue Lake has its own ecological system, and under normal circumstances, the creatures at the bottom of the lake will not leave the water to attack...... Unless, someone attacks them first. ”
Ye Shengqing also told Long Sanguan about the abnormality he found at the same time. At this moment, Long Sanguan suddenly had a premonition in his heart, and he looked over.
I saw that in the dark red sky, a thin green line suddenly appeared, and the thin line was extremely long, and it seemed to be dozens of miles long at a cursory glance.
Ye Shengqing also looked up at the sky, and with the appearance of the first faint green line, the second and third ...... Countless thin lines appeared in the dark red sky, forming a huge net that could expand a radius of dozens of miles.
"Ah, what is this?" asked Shizuki Chaser a little panicked, she already had a foreboding in her heart, but she still wanted to get a different answer from Long Sanguan.
Long Sanguan stared at the huge net in the sky, and said to the group of outer monks: "I will find an opportunity to break a path, and remember to follow me later...... Ugh!"
As he was speaking, Long Sanguan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his throat, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of pain and disbelief.
At the same time, all the people who had drunk the water of Xingyue Lake, including Ye Shengqing, had similar symptoms.
They choked their necks, only to feel that a hot soldering iron had been stuffed into their throats, and even their breathing began to become sluggish in the violent burning sensation.
