Chapter 31: Who Eats Whom
The bottom of the lake was originally dimly lit, and Shangguan listened to the arrival of the snow, which injected light into this darkness.
The snow-white sword qi spread out in all directions, emitting a hazy brilliance, illuminating part of the underwater world.
Lu Li already had the ability to see at night, but he only felt a little dazzling at the moment, and those who were also disturbed by these snow-white brilliance were those underwater creatures who had long been accustomed to the darkness.
A silver-white swimming fish with a silver tail was attracted by Shangguan Tingxue's sword light, and gathered around her one after another, and the fish's mouths opened and closed, carefully eating away at the snow-white sword qi.
"Flying swordfish?" Lu Li recognized these delicious little things at a glance, he stretched out his right hand, and slowly pushed out a palm in the direction of those small silver-white fish.
This palm seemed to be slow and fast, launching a hidden undercurrent containing sword intent.
Shangguan Tingxue looked at these little guys who were not afraid of people curiously, and was not annoyed by their cannibalization of snow-white sword qi.
At this time, a flying swordfish was caressed by the undercurrent, and suddenly its body stiffened, and a touch of red emanated from its mouth, and it died in an instant.
The surrounding flying swordfish immediately dispersed, and after the three largest flying swordfish swam away, they also launched an attack on Shangguan Tingxue.
I saw that their fish mouths were wide open, and each of them spit out a pocket flying sword the size of an embroidery needle, piercing through the water and waves, and stabbing at Shangguan Tingxue at a very fast speed.
The snow-white sword qi surrounding Shangguan Tingxue's side protected the lord by itself, and collided fiercely with those pocket flying swords, and within three rounds, the pocket flying swords were wrapped in snow-white sword qi, and they were all damaged.
I saw that the silver-white swimming fish that spit out the flying sword also turned up the fish belly at the same time, and the sword damaged the fish and died.
The dead flying swordfish was once again engulfed by an undercurrent, and came to Lu Li's hands, he carried four flying swordfish, broke through the water, and laughed: "You continue to hunt for treasure, I will grill the fish." โ
Ye Shengqing shook his head helplessly, he could never guess what this friend was thinking at the moment, and he didn't guess it once.
Shangguan Tingxue surfaced, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was a little unhappy with Lu Li's sudden move, but when she saw Lu Li handling the fish meat extremely well, Shangguan Tingxue couldn't help but recall the deliciousness of the take-off swordfish, so she said, "Don't forget to leave one for me." โ
......
Ye Shengqing and Shangguan Tingxue went to the bottom of the lake to hunt for treasure.
On the clear surface of the lake, only Lu Li sat cross-legged, his figure undulating with the waves, floating like a fallen leaf without sinking.
Lu Li let out a cloud of white qi, condensed the qi and turned into a dagger, he slashed open the belly of the fish, but he couldn't find even a complete sword pill.
"The first tail is too small, and it hasn't given birth to a sword pill yet. The other three tails are larger, but there are sword pills, but unfortunately the flying sword was destroyed, and the sword pill was also destroyed. โ
Lu Li felt a little pity, he put the gutted flying swordfish into the water to clean, and the wisps of red drifted away with the current.
Somewhere at the bottom of the lake, a huge shark-shaped fish smelled the blood of a flying swordfish. Its gills open and close, its body suddenly becomes transparent, and its giant tail, which blends with the current, slowly swings, swimming silently towards the surface of the lake.
In the depths of the lake, there is a huge reef as big as a house, and there is not a single swimming fish around the reef.
A stream of water stained with the blood of the swordfish passed by the reef, and suddenly, the reef seemed to come to life, and its thick limbs like tree trunks poked out from under the reef.
Its python-like head also stretched out, opened its terrifying jaw, and bit down on the surface of the lake.
On the surface of the lake, before Lu Li had finished cleaning all the four flying swordfish, he saw a translucent bloody mouth appear under the surface of the lake.
The huge mouth came silently, and it swallowed the four flying swordfish in one gulp, and bit Lu Li's left arm in its mouth as well.
The transparent strange fish had sharp fangs, but it couldn't help the pitch-black robe that Lu Li was wearing.
"Yo, you know I can't get enough to eat, so come over and offer me more food?" Lu Li smiled, held the dagger condensed by white qi in his right hand, and pierced into the top of the strange fish's head with a "poof".
The light blue blood flowed out instantly, and the strange fish showed its shape, which turned out to be a huge strange fish that looked like a shark but was more than a foot long.
The strange fish was stabbed in the head, but it did not die immediately, it was ferocious under the pain, and bit Lu Li's left arm and dragged him into the water.
Deeply immersed in the water, Lu Li did not panic, he stabbed two more times, and found that the dagger was too small compared to the size of the big fish, so he dispersed the dagger and returned to white gas, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, and fell on the top of the big fish's head with a "boom".
The water of the lake is shaken, and there is a sound of thunder.
With just one moment, the big fish immediately went limp and let go of Lu Li's left arm. There was a terrible crater in the top of its head, and both gray-blue eyes were swelling out of their sockets due to the pressure.
Before Lu Li could examine the strange fish, he suddenly felt the surrounding water rushing downward.
Ang โโ!
With a loud roar, Lu Li's body sank involuntarily, and his eyes suddenly turned black, tumbling and colliding, and fell into a choking fishy atmosphere.
"Hmm, what did you swallow into your stomach?" Lu Li hovered in mid-air, his eyes were like electricity, and he relied on his night vision ability to see the current environment clearly.
I saw that there were pale pink flesh walls all around, and the flesh walls slowly wriggled, and from the hidden glands, a sour yellow-green liquid was constantly sprayed.
There are also corpses scattered here, mostly fish, but also the remains of birds, snakes, and other animals.
As soon as those corpses came into contact with the yellow-green liquid, they were instantly acidified into white bones, and under the erosion of the yellow-green liquid, it would not be long before they would cease to exist even the white bones.
"Damn! this guy has a great appetite. Lu Li's gaze swept over a gray-white object, which he could barely discern was similar to the style of the jet-black robe he was wearing, indicating that a Sword Sect monk might have died here.
Seeing that there was more and more yellow-green liquid, Lu Li dodged against the wind while waving his hand and slashing out the pale white sword qi, slashing towards the side of the flesh wall.
Poofโ
Although the pale pink flesh wall was already tough, it couldn't withstand Lu Li's sword qi, and seeing that the flesh wall was broken, Lu Li's pair of sword eyebrows wrinkled.
I saw that the broken flesh wall was not bright red blood, but a blowout of yellow-green liquid, just the acid gas brought by the large amount of these liquids gushing out, which had already made Lu Li's skin burn, as if it was being corroded.
"Before I can pierce this monster's belly, I'm afraid it will already turn into a pile of white bones. Damn, I didn't leave a rune sword in the outside world, otherwise I would have been able to get out by jumping in space. โ
Lu Li thought with some annoyance, he made up his mind that he must always have a few rune swords after he went out.
Lu Li turned over in the air, avoiding the yellow-green liquid sprayed, and he pondered: "Crush this monster to death with a stone sword? This monster may die, but I also failed to escape its belly." โ
"Gotta find a way out. Lu Li chose one direction, using his pitch-black robe to resist the constant spray of yellow-green liquid, while resisting the wind to find a possible way out.
I don't know how long the wind has been going, Lu Li suddenly has three more forks in front of him, one to the left, one to the right, and one forward, which seems to lead to different directions.
"Keep moving forward, and you will be able to get out. Lu Li didn't care about the other two forks in the road, and continued to follow the original direction to resist the wind.
After a long time, three forks in the road appeared again in front of Lu Li's eyes, and Lu Li said to himself:
"After walking for so long, you can still see these yellow-green liquids around, and it seems that the total amount has not decreased much, which is very wrong. โ
Seeing that the yellow-green liquid was still spraying out from the surrounding flesh walls, Lu Li did not delay any longer and continued to move forward in the original direction.
After walking for a long time, Lu Li suddenly felt that the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar, and saw an off-white robe in the corner.
Lu Li frowned, ignored the gray robe, and continued to move forward, but this time he was marching at full speed against the wind.
In a hurry, Lu Li quickly passed through three forks in the road, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became familiar again, he looked into a corner, and sure enough, he saw the gray robe again.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "Labyrinth?" or is it a ghost hitting the wall?" He manipulated the sword qi and held the gray robe in front of him, and while confirming that it was not an illusion, he also found a line of words on the gray robe.
Lu Li didn't know any of the words written on the robe, but he could feel some of the sword intent that the writer had left to this day in every stroke.
Through those sword intents, Lu Li could not only feel despair and unwillingness, but also perceive a trace of hope emotion, which indicated that the writer may have found a way to escape when he wrote this line.
Lu Li couldn't wait to know the meaning of this line of writing, if it was changed to before, he could only do nothing about it.
But now, with the "Treasure of Universal Knowledge", it is difficult to hide the mystery of any unknown.
Holding the ancient jade jue in his hand, Lu Li whispered: "Scan." โ
A fan-shaped pale blue curtain of light instantly appeared, quickly sweeping over the line of unknown text.
At the same time, a light and pleasant female voice sounded in Lu Li's mind:
The scan was successful, and the preliminary analysis identified it as "Sack", which belongs to one of the sub-languages of mankind and is the lingua franca of the "Sack Empire...... For more information about the "Sark Empire", please refer to the following information......"
Lu Li continued to whisper: "Translation." โ
In his mind, the line of "Sack script" appeared, and then, it gradually became blurred, and when it became clear again, it had changed to Lu Li's familiar words:
"Front, front, left, right, right, front, left, left, right, right, front, front, left, right, front, front, left, right, right...... No, no, no, no, no! It's back to square one! It's just a turtle, how can there be such a complicated formation in the belly?"
At this point, Lu Li's index finger tapped on the ancient jade jue, and said to himself: "Xuan Turtle Formation? Meaning, I am now in the belly of a Xuan Turtle, and what prevents me from going out is a formation?"
Lu Li took advantage of the fact that the connection with the "Universal Knowledge Treasure" had not been broken, so he said: "The information of the Xuan Turtle. โ
As soon as his words fell, the overall image of the turtle naturally appeared in his mind.
I saw that this is a giant creature with a shell as big as a house and four legs as thick as a tree, and in addition to its size, the head of the turtle is not the same as that of an ordinary turtle.
It has an extremely long neck and a head similar to a python, and it looks like it has been occupied by a giant python.
In Lu Li's mind, the information about the Xuan Turtle was quickly browsed by him, but none of the information could help the current situation.
According to the information, the turtle likes to swallow living things, and although it has extremely acidic gastric juice in its abdomen, as long as it leaves the abdominal cavity of the turtle, it can easily get out, and there is absolutely no case of a formation hidden in the turtle's abdomen.
