Chapter 41: The Tribulation
The people who stopped at the entrance of the woods were panting and breathless, and their expressions were not completely out of danger.
"Yunliang, do you know what it is?" Jin Lanlan asked first.
Gao Yunliang shook his head and said, "I don't know what the hell that is?"
"Haven't you seen it before?" Jin Lanlan asked Gao Yunliang suspiciously.
"Don't say I've seen it, I haven't even heard of it, there are living creatures in this pool, it's really damn damn." Gao Yunliang was obviously very surprised by this sudden appearance of the giant ~ thing.
"Kuroko, are you close, do you see what it is?" Gao Yunliang asked the sunspot who ran behind.
"Patronizing and running, I didn't see it clearly, I just knew that it was a very large guy." Kuroko gasped as he answered Gao Yunliang's question.
Everyone also leaned towards Gao Yunliang, and they were also eager to know what that terrible thing was just now.
Everyone looked along the way they came, and saw that above the waterhole, there were still dark clouds rolling, lightning and thunder, and the roar of the giant beast kept coming from the pool, mixed with the sound of water, and the sound was deafening. Each roar of the giant beast made people tremble in their hearts, as if the whole earth was trembling, and when viewed from afar, it was like a scene of catastrophe written in a mythological story.
Everyone was worried and hoped that the beast would stick out its head again so that they could see it clearly. Everyone waited for a few minutes, but they didn't see the head of the giant beast sticking out of the pool again, and even the roar slowly became less.
Ye Feifei finally couldn't help but speak, and asked again with everyone's expectations: "Yunliang, don't you really know what that thing is?" In fact, they all know that it would be in vain to ask if they continue to ask, if Gao Yunliang knew, he would naturally not hide, but at this time, they had no one else to ask except Gao Yunliang.
Gao Yunliang shook his head again and said he didn't know. With everyone's disappointed eyes, Gao Yunliang looked at Zhao Yawen helplessly and asked, "Yawen, have you read any information that has a record of this creature?" ”
At this time, everyone also turned their eyes to Zhao Yawen, and they all hoped to get some information from the mouth of this knowledgeable little girl to comfort their hearts that were worried and peaceful at this time.
Zhao Yawen tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember any records of unknown creatures at the bottom of the pool. When she was a child, she came in with Gao Yunliang and Kuroko once, and found the strangeness of this waterhole and meadow. After going out, she also asked Grandpa Zhao curiously, but Grandpa Zhao didn't tell her anything, just told her to study hard, and she would know if she read more.
Later, after learning chemistry in high school, Gao Yawen understood the truth. In those years, she was short of books, looking for books everywhere to read. I accidentally turned over a "Feng Shui Chronicle" in my grandfather's study, which contained some records of waterholes, but most of them were written about the way of yin and yang, and there was no record of unknown creatures.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yawen also shook his head, and said with a red face: "Maybe it's some kind of ancient monster, there were many ancient creatures living here ten thousand years ago, and then the living environment changed, and the ancient creatures became extinct. It stands to reason that this high-alkaline and high-acid land should not be suitable for animals, but there is an exception to everything, although this waterhole is highly alkaline, and there are no creatures in it, but under the waterhole is a large karst cave, and it is connected to an underground river, and unknown creatures can naturally get food from other places. Pythons and snakes can live for hundreds of years in acidic meadows with little to no food, not to mention the waterhole of the underground river, it is not impossible for some ancient giant beast to survive. ”
Zhao Yawen explained this, and everyone seems to understand. It's just that this speculative reason is not completely convincing to everyone.
"Is it possible for it to chase after it?" Ye Feifei asked Zhao Yawen uncertainly.
"Probably not, if you guessed correctly, it should be an animal in the water, and it can't go ashore. If it had made it to the shore, we wouldn't have been able to get out of it just now. Zhao Yawen stretched out his left hand and pointed to the deep pool in front of him.
"Not necessarily, it seems to have wings, maybe it just doesn't have time to take care of us." Kuroko's cold words made everyone uneasy again, and the atmosphere became tense again.
The restless crowd looked into the distance again in the direction Zhao Yawen pointed. I saw that the waterhole was still covered with dark clouds, but the lightning was significantly less, and the thunder and blazing mist were slowly dissipating; The screams of the unknown creature grew quieter and quieter, until at last they were barely audible.
The waterhole quickly regained its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.
"Did it succeed, or is it gone?" Thinking of the picture he saw just now, Cheng Yifan actually had a sense of an unknown creature cultivating immortals.
Looking at the sky above the waterhole that slowly regained calm, everyone's nervous hearts quietly relaxed.
It's just that they are extremely curious, but at this time, they don't dare to ask, "Go back and see what's in the pool." ”
It was already a blessing that they could escape without any damage, and it was enough to stop in the face of danger, which was the only thing their team learned after entering Wuyun Mountain.
Bai Su never said a word, and thoughtfully grabbed the pendant on his chest with his hand. Cheng Yifan glanced at it secretly, and when his eyes stayed on Bai Su's chest, he saw a red thing looming in the hollow lattice of the square pendant, like some kind of creature. Before he could look closely, the image vanished.
Cheng Yifan only thought that he was hallucinating again, after all, this must be a common thing recently, and he was already used to it, so he didn't go over to ask Bai Su.
"It shouldn't be chasing it anymore." After everyone was silent for a while, Gao Yunliang spoke, "Everyone rest for a few minutes, get ready, and we will go into the mountains and forests immediately." ”
Jin Shipeng sat down on the ground at this time, his face was pale and he looked frightened. Jin Shipeng was still in a panic, just heard Gao Yunliang say to stop and rest, knowing that the danger had been lifted, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his body was paralyzed like a deflated balloon, and he roared in his mouth: "What the hell is this place, what kind of nerves is Jin Zhenyang, why did you ask me to come to this ghost place?" I'm not leaving, I'm going back. Saying that, Jin Shipeng actually got up and wanted to leave.
Jin Shijie pressed him to death and told him to calm down. Jin Shipeng ignored it, pointed at Jin Lanlan, who was about to walk towards him, and scolded: "Blame you, blame you, if you didn't go to Jin Zhenyang to complain, he would definitely not let me in with you?" You're a broom star, a bad guy. ”
Jin Lanlan originally wanted to come over to see Jin Shipeng, who was emotionally out of control, but blood must be thicker than water, even if the Jin family treats her in every way, Jin Shipeng is always his younger brother. Jin Lanlan didn't respond to him, she understood that Jin Shipeng had been pampered since he was a child, not to mention that he couldn't stand the suffering in the mountains, just this series of visions was enough to make him emotionally collapse.
Unexpectedly, Jin Shipeng saw that Jin Lanlan was silent, the more he felt that he was angry, and then scolded: "You broom star, don't get close to me, stay away from me, you are a harmful spirit, it is not enough to kill your own mother, and now you have to come to harm me." ”
"You...... You...... Unreasonable," Jin Lanlan turned her head and walked to the side.
