Chapter 105: Sharks, Mermaids
Luo Yi didn't elaborate on the specific experience on the Lock Demon Lake, but just picked out a few treacherous things she experienced to explain to us the horror of the Lock Demon Lake and the horror of what they experienced.
The first one happened when they had just entered the Lock Demon Lake and were still a little confused.
It was the first time for all the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect to come to the Lock Demon Lake, although they had already obtained some records about the Lock Demon Lake through various channels, but this strange fog in the sky almost blocked all vision, and those records that were not much lost their reference value.
But even so, their goal is still very clear, because in the description of those materials, the eye of the lock demon lake is in the middle of the lake.
With the set goal, there is also a direction for the action, although it is very difficult to find the center of the lake on this huge lake, but the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect do not give up.
They first controlled the boat to advance to the inside of the lake, and then the people on the boat who were good at feng shui continued to deduce and correct the direction, but the compass was completely out of order in such a place, and the direction of the mountain and water veins was also obscured by the fog, and all the means of positioning and breaking the direction were useless.
Back and forth, they walked around in the fog for a whole day without any progress, and when it was getting late, someone suggested that they exit the Lock Demon Lake first.
That's when the first weird thing happened. Although the fog obscured the vision, the outline of the black giant mountain at the edge could still be seen clearly, and if you wanted to exit the Lock Demon Lake, you only needed to use the giant mountain as a reference, in fact, Luo Yi and the others did this at that time, but it was incomprehensible that no matter how hard they rocked the oars, the wooden boat always maintained a constant distance from the giant mountain at the edge of the lake, neither close nor far away.
At this time, some people suspected that something under the water might have hooked the boat, so that the wooden boat could not move, but after carefully observing the current, Luo Yi found that this was not the case, the boat kept moving, but the lake under their feet seemed to be moving with the boat.
This strange phenomenon trapped the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect on the outskirts of the Lock Demon Lake, seeing that there was no hope of leaving, some people proposed to continue to move forward, but something even stranger happened, and the Heavenly Witch Cultists on the ship were sad to find that their ship could neither retreat nor move forward.
A boatload of people seemed to be sandwiched between two fluid spaces, moving back and forth, but the space they were in couldn't move.
This was the first bizarre encounter that Luo Yi recounted, and then she told a second strange thing.
This second trick is the main reason why Luo Yi's lake has changed color, and this matter is also related to our current situation.
For the sake of description, let's call the lake where Shidao is located as Shark Lake. Luo Yi also said before that in the process of escaping from the Shark Lake and going to the target place, the Lock Demon Lake, they encountered countless dangers and obstacles, among which in addition to the Shark, there is also a more strange species of Shark.
During those two days of travel, Luo Yi had never seen the true face of this kind of merman, because every time this kind of merman appeared, he only heard its sound, not its shadow, and the sound it made was very strange.
The sound made by those mermaids in the merman lake is a direct attack on people's consciousness, although it is terrifying, but it can be actively defended, such as the previous method of blocking the ears and three points adopted by the third uncle's team.
But that special kind of mermaid is different, their sound is very beautiful, like fairy music, it sounds very comfortable and enjoyable, and this beautiful sound will not directly harm people, but unconsciously affect the listener's subconscious, thereby affecting or changing the listener's senses and thinking consciousness, making people fall into danger.
It is precisely this imperceptible danger that is the most deadly, just like boiling a frog in warm water, if people feel a strong threat from the beginning, it turns out that there is really an earth eye in the deep mountains of Toast, and it is a very special earth eye, as for what is special, even Luo Yi does not know, but there is such a rumor in the right-wing faction, saying that as long as the seal of the earth eye of Toast Tai can be unlocked, the highest doctrine of the Heavenly Witch Sect can be realized. The reason why they wanted to capture me was to use the curse of doom in my body to break the seal of the Eye of the Earth.
Luo Yi's words surprised us all, the highest doctrine of the Heavenly Witch Sect, isn't that to ask their so-called gods to come into the world and completely cleanse the world?
In the previous adventures, we have more or less known about some things about the Heavenly Witch Cult, and their so-called 'gods descend into the world and cleanse the world' are actually to unlock the seal of the Eye of the Earth and release those terrible existences under the Eye of the Earth, thus destroying the world and destroying mankind.
Based on our previous experience with the Eye of the Earth, it is certainly not enough to unseal one or two Eyes in order to achieve such a terrible ambition. And the codex left by the master recorded a very bold and terrible hypothesis, called the coffin conjecture.
In the coffin conjecture, the master speculated that there is an extremely vast world deep underground in the world we are in, and this underground world is the coffin.
In the world of the Coffin, there is no light, only darkness, and many strange beings that we cannot understand, they are terrible and ferocious, bringing together all the dark and evil sides of this world, in stark contrast to the surface world we are in.
And the weak node connecting these two worlds is the Eye of the Earth. When the Earth Eye is opened, the Yin Wind and evil creatures in the Coffin World will break out of the Coffin's blockade and destroy the world, which is what the Heavenly Witch Cult has always hoped to happen, their so-called supreme doctrine.
In the Coffin Conjecture, Taiye deduced and predicted the existence of the Earth Eyes in this world, and their number reached a staggering forty-nine.
Of course, not all of the Eyes of the Earth can be unsealed, and half of the forty-nine Eyes are in places that humans cannot set foot on, such as volcanic eruption vents, deep-sea trenches, and other places that are inaccessible to the poorest human beings.
This kind of earth eye with natural barrier protection, the master called it the dead eye, which means the earth eye that cannot be opened, and the opposite of the earth eye that can be artificially opened is the living eye.
There are at least twenty-five living eyes recorded in the Taiye's Codex, of which there are twelve records with clear coordinates alone, including the underground ruins of the Fengyang Ghost School, the Yeling Tiankeng, and the ancient town of Suoming, as for the Demon Valley in the deep mountains of Luogang Village, it is not included in the record.
If the Heavenly Witch Sect wants to realize its teachings, it must at least unseal all the twelve known Earth Eyes, but Luo Yi said that as long as he unlocks this one in the deep mountains of Toast, he can realize his teachings, how is this possible?
