Chapter 65: Stone Ox

Her eyelashes are long, and her eyes are black and white. She looked at me with a smile and beckoned to me.

She seemed to be magical, and I couldn't help but swim towards her.

As the distance got closer, she smiled even brighter, and it seemed to be the most beautiful smile in the world.

Just a dozen feet away from her, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the corpses floating above her head.

At the same time, a wave of heat came from the Whip.

I was a thriller, and then I came to my senses. When I think of that feeling just now, I am even more afraid.

It seems that those who fell from the well, like me, fell for her illusions.

She kept waving at me, and I was like one of her prey.

I still pretended to be under her control.

Just a little more than a meter away from her, her mouth suddenly opened, revealing two teeth more than a foot long.

The teeth glittered white in the flashlight beam.

It occurred to me that the tooth marks on those corpses had been left by him.

She was extremely fast, her hair fluttering in the water, and at the same time turned into a waterline and rushed towards me.

I hurriedly swung the Whip, and with a bang, a large wave of water immediately surged into the water.

The Whip is very powerful and is more suitable for use in water.

The woman's body was pushed backwards by the waves, several feet away. The back hits the wall.

As her hair parted, a long snake body was revealed.

The snake's body hovered together, like a small mountain, and her appearance became even more hideous.

When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that in the water lived a fierce beast called the beautiful snake.

The more they live, the more human-like they become, and they are not only extremely fierce, but also extremely powerful.

Once the fishermen meet them, there will be dead and alive.

I could never have imagined that I would encounter such a thing in the well.

She looked almost identical to a human, and her body was so long, it seemed that she had lived in this well for at least hundreds of years.

No wonder so many people died at her hands.

She roared at me, and the waves churned.

At the same time, her mouth opened violently, and it was simply out of proportion to her head. It seems that there is only one big mouth left on the whole face.

Her body rippled in the water and rushed towards me.

It's still far away, and the waves are already rushing. I swung the Whip and knocked her back again.

She was very afraid of the Spirit Whip, and once the Spirit Whip swept past, she avoided it from afar.

She is incredibly nimble in the water, and it is difficult for the Whip to hit her.

At this moment, the water shook violently, and a coercion pressed the water towards me.

The pressure spread so fast through the water that I felt like I had been hit with a sledgehammer in my chest, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.

Although I am very good in the water, it is definitely a feeling of being constrained to be in the water.

Only then did I see that it was the tail of the beautiful snake that swept sideways towards me.

Behind me is the crack in the iron door. I don't have time to deal with her here, maybe someone else has already taken advantage of this opportunity to find the key.

Before the tail of the beautiful snake touched me, I flew and swam out of the crack in the door.

The tail of the beautiful snake slammed into the iron door with a bang.

The iron gate shook violently, but because of the chains, the iron door remained in its original state.

As I stepped out of the iron door, I felt the space around me suddenly become larger. I entered a great river.

I tread hard and swam straight to the surface. The water here is very deep, even less than the eye of the Liao River.

I floated to the surface and was surprised to find that it was in a valley surrounded by cliffs.

This waterhole is surrounded by mountain cliffs, and it is more like a large bowl containing half a bowl of water.

The cliff is hundreds of feet above the water, and it is impossible to get out of the cliff.

No wonder no one has ever been here for so many years. It's a very private place in itself.

Not far away, some people were floating on the water, observing the movements around them. Some of them had already climbed to the top of the cliff and looked at me condescendingly.

The water of the river is unusually clear and turquoise, like a giant pearl.

They were in groups of three, two in groups. Everyone knows that the key must be in the valley. But no one knows exactly where it's hidden.

Before they came down, they all thought that finding the key would be an easy task. Now it seems more like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even more worrying is the limited time, if the iron door is closed, then never want to leave this place again.

I climbed to the top of the cliff and took a few deep breaths. There are more than a dozen of them who survived, and they were able to escape from the mouth of the beautiful snake, and their strength was very good.

They all looked at each other with unkind faces, and for them, everyone else was a competitor. I waited until my breath had calmed down and looked around.

The whole valley was in view, and the cliffs were bare, not even a single plant or tree.

The silence in the valley was as deathly, and even the birds could not be heard, giving people a very panicked feeling.

Of the four people sent by the Su family, two survived.

They were all mid-level spiritual monks, and three members of the Zhu family survived.

Others barely survived, others were injured and couldn't compete with them.

The group searched the cliff and found nothing special. Looks like what we're looking for must be in the water.

Everyone lined up in a row with a tacit understanding, starting from one side of the cliff and swimming towards the other side like a net.

Just as he swam to the middle of the river, a large blurry figure appeared in view. Looking at it in the water, it was four or five feet tall.

It's just that it's too far away, and I don't know exactly what it is.

I swam over there, and at the same time, someone else spotted it. They all swam towards it, too.

As the distance narrowed, I saw clearly that it was a stone ox carved out of large bluestone. The stone cow is covered with moss, and its appearance is extremely ancient.

I have heard that in many large rivers, such as the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, in order to prevent floods, there are such stone beasts, which are used to control water.

But this is just a valley, and there are no people nearby, so it is impossible to get a big flood. I don't know who got such a big water beast here.

It's so remote that there's not even a decent road. Looking at the appearance of the stone beast, it was at least hundreds of years old, and at that time, it must have been a very difficult task to get it here.

Everyone was swimming around the stone ox. Wrapped around the horns was a chain about the thickness of a wrist, not much thinner than the one at the mouth of the well.

It's just that the other end of the chain has been broken, and it looks like something is tied to it. Maybe it's because it's so old, and that thing has escaped.

The shape and workmanship of the stone ox are very similar to the water-sheltering rhinoceros I have seen. They seem to be from the same era.

Thinking that there was a spar hidden in the belly of the rhinoceros to avoid water, I swam to the vicinity of the stone ox's belly and knocked it gently.

A knocking sound followed, and Shi Niu's stomach was empty!

I seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and took out the dagger, intending to dig open its belly to see what was going on.

Although the stone ox is carved out of large bluestone, it doesn't bother me.

I poured spiritual power into the dagger, and the silver light flashed out, and the dagger became extremely sharp.

After digging twice, a hole nearly a foot deep was left in the stomach of the stone cow. I guess with a little more effort, I can dig it through.

At that moment, I felt the water behind me shake for a moment.

I've always been vigilant against other people's sneak attacks.

I quickly dodged to the side, and a dagger grazed my shoulder, stabbing at the stone ox with a clanging sound.

I was secretly glad that I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been stabbed in the heart.

I turned my head to take a look, only to realize that it was someone from the Su family who attacked me.

Seeing that I had found a clue, of course he didn't want me to get the key.

I swam more than a foot away from him and stared at him viciously.

At this time, more people swam over, and their goal was the key.

In their eyes, I am not famous at all, but I am just here to make up the numbers, and of course they will not take me seriously.

I'm not in a hurry to fight with them, it's better to watch the excitement first.

The two people of the Su family were surrounded by them, and they leaned against the stone ox with their backs, putting on a desperate posture.

The Zhu family rushed directly towards them, and the water immediately became muddy, and the dinging sound kept ringing, and the daggers and short knives kept hitting the stone ox.

Although they were a little unable to show their skills in the water, no one would let go of this opportunity.
