Chapter 251: The Flower of the Underworld
Snakes are like springs, and Mingyue, Feng Chengcheng, Hua Qiandu, and Bai Ze are forced to the dark river, wielding their swords to deal with those surging snake tides.
The sword light flickered, the bloody wind and blood rained, the corpses of poisonous snakes were stacked like a hill, and for a while they smelled fishy, and there were corpses of snakes everywhere, which looked very terrifying.
Mingyue looked at the dark river, only to see the river soup, the smoke was miao, the river was murmuring, and an extremely strange breath gushed out with the river from the undercurrent, with a hint of refreshing chill.
Those snakes seemed to be very afraid of the river, Mingyue and the others stood by the river, and those snakes were about half a meter away from the shore, so they no longer stepped forward.
Feng Chengcheng also noticed this phenomenon, pointed to a few stones in front of the mouth of the dark river and said, "Let's stand on those stones and try it, those snakes seem to be very afraid of this river. “
The four of them jumped to the stone at the mouth of the dark river and stood there, and as they stood there, they suddenly felt that the fragrance of the flowers was getting stronger and stronger, and Mingyue was sure that the smell was exactly the same as what she had smelled in Wan'er's boudoir before.
Mingyue and the others stood in the stones at the mouth of the dark river, and those colorful snakes suddenly receded like a tide, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a mess of snake corpses.
Behind them, at the foot of a huge mountain, the outlet of a dark river with a black hole.
The cave at the entrance of the dark river is about two meters high, and there is a huge rock blocking the exit, so you can't see the inside clearly, and the gaps on both sides reflect the mottled shadows of the water.
The undercurrent exit is rocky, and the stones at the exit are very smooth washed by the current. The water is rushing, the waves are agitated, and there is a loud noise.
Mingyue pointed to the exit of the dark river and said, "Brother Nine, this is the place where Wan'er disappeared, and there must be something hidden in it that we don't know." “
Feng Tingcheng nodded and said, "The fragrance here is very strong, could it be that there are some strange flowers growing in it?" “
Mingyue also said suspiciously: "This fragrance is exactly the same as the fragrance left in Wan'er's boudoir, I suspect that there must be a secret hidden in this that we don't know." “
Feng Qingcheng touched Mingyue's head and said, "Xiao'er, stay here and wait for me, I'll go and explore first." “
Mingyue shook her head and said categorically: "Brother Nine, let Bai Ze and Hua Qiandu stay here, and I will go in together." Don't forget, I'm also an Immortal Cultivator of the Upper God Realm, so together we can take care of each other. “
Bai Ze said: "Princess, why don't I go first to explore the way?" “
Mingyue took the ball out of her arms, handed it to Bai Ze, and said to Bai Ze and Hua Qiandu: "No, Bai Ze, we are guarding the exit of this dark river, echoing each other from afar. If Wan'er comes out again, remember to catch her and don't hurt her. “
Maruko choked his mouth, her milk voice was milky, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, I also want to go with me, I want to protect my mother." “
Mingyue touched the wings of the pills and said: "The pills are good, I don't know what kind of danger is hidden inside, I and the ninth brother will go to explore, we still stay here, I am more at ease." “
Hua Qiandu and Bai Ze said at the same time: "Mingyue, master, be careful. “
Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, you should also be careful." “
As he spoke, he took Feng Chengcheng's hand and said, "Brother Nine, let's go." “
Feng Qingcheng nodded, hugged Mingyue's slender waist, avoided the rolling waves, exerted his immortal power, and leaped from the side of the boulder into the dark river outlet of the black hole.
Behind the boulder is a deep cave.
The cave is half submerged in the water, half is exposed to the water, and the top of the cave is full of strange rocks, bats flying around, and it is cold and gloomy.
The cave twists and turns, like a labyrinth, and there are countless gloomy forks in the middle.
The two of them followed the strong fragrance of flowers, and then passed through a cave, where the fragrance was so thick that the air became viscous, and at this time, standing on a huge rock, looking at the situation in front of them, they were stunned.
At this time, they were standing in front of a vast sea of white flowers.
The sea of white flowers is layered and dense, extending to the top of the cave dozens of meters high, showing a strange bright white.
In front of the sea of flowers was the dark river where they stood, and the water of the dark river swelled and undulated, making a tidal sound in the surrounding caves.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, close to the rock wall, there is a huge flower, almost reaching the top of the cave, the thick flower path extends along the rock wall to a protruding rock edge in the upper part of the rock wall, the crystal clear huge petals, stretched out for more than ten meters long.
The path of the giant flower was filled with layers of small human bones, and I don't know how many Terran babies it had hurt, it looked desolate and terrifying.
The air here is filled with the humidity of the tide and the intoxicating aroma of the air, which makes you feel dizzy.
"Not good! This flower is poisonous! Feng Chengcheng said and quickly took out two detoxification pills, and ate one with Mingyue.
After eating the detoxification pill, the two of them felt dizzy.
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng crouched down and carefully observed the white flowers on the edge of the rock.
The flowers are crystal clear snow white in color, emitting an eerie white glow, only the flowers have no leaves, and the smell is strong and fragrant, and the smell is disgusting.
Mingyue remembered that Wan'er's maid had said that Wan'er was on the shore of Daze Lake and saw a white and transparent flower, and she was sure that what Wan'er saw must be this kind of flower.
Mingyue said in a low voice: "Ninth brother, what kind of flower is this?" Why is it so weird that there are only flowers and no leaves? This flower must be the flower that Wan'er picked. ”
Mingyue stretched out her slender jade hand and tried to touch those strange flowers.
When her hand just touched the petals of a flower, the flower suddenly trembled, revealing the spikes hidden in the petals, and suddenly attacked her hand!
"Xiao'er, be careful!" Seeing that this flower was different, Feng Chengcheng pulled Mingyue away, and the sword was instantly sacrificed, swinging the sword and slashing at the flower that attacked her.
The white flowers shattered in response to the sound, turning into bits of white broken light, and the flower path twisted wildly, making a "zizi" withering sound.
At this time, thousands of white flowers in the cave writhed wildly together, and they made a baby-like crying sound, miserable and terrifying, and the sound of mourning was terrifying, and the hairs stood on end.
Mingyue looked at the situation in front of her in shock, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and said, "Brother Jiu, I suddenly remembered a record in an ancient medical dictionary that there is a very evil flower in this world that has no stems and no leaves, called the Flower of the Underworld. “
"The flowers are white in color, crystal clear, and grow in dark, damp places at very low altitudes."
"It is said that this flower is highly poisonous, and if people or animals touch it, it will attack them. Once a person or animal is attacked or injured by it, it will show symptoms of poisoning and will not be able to move, and the surrounding flowers will take the opportunity to eat it. “
"If the flower of the underworld grows to be 100 years old, after eating the flesh of a baby and drinking human blood, it will turn into a humanoid monster with powerful attack power. It turns out that the disappearance of the baby in the small town is actually related to this flower of the underworld! ”
Feng Qingcheng sighed: "It seems that this is the flower of the underworld, but how did these flowers go out to harm the human race?" ”
Mingyue thought for a while and asked
"Could it be related to the demons?" ”
Feng Qingcheng nodded and said, "It's very likely, this cave is extremely strange, especially that giant flower, we have to be extremely careful." ”
Mingyue looked around, and saw that there were indeed dense white flowers all around, and at this time, those flowers emitted a strange white light, except for this protruding rock and the dark river in the distance, there was no place to stand, and she couldn't help but show a worried expression.
Feng Chengcheng comforted: "Wait for me to destroy these demon flowers first!" “
Feng Tilt City sacrificed his sword, preparing to destroy all the flowers of the underworld here, Mingyue suddenly said, "Ninth brother, do you hear the baby's voice?" “
Feng Tingcheng listened attentively, and sure enough, from a cave on the side, there was a faint sound of a baby laughing, which sounded very terrifying in the depths of this dark mountain.
The two of them followed the sound and drove to the mouth of a cave connected to the side and looked inside.
This is connected to the sea of flowers, a huge mountainside cave. The cave is dark and damp, and there is no sunlight, but there are bursts of fluorescence, and the flowers are fragrant.
At this time, countless babies about three years old were playing on the ground of the cave, rolling and jumping, oh oh, the scene was very lively.
However, the babies, though they looked like Terran babies, looked very old, their faces were almost transparent, their eyes were blood-red, and their hands were grown into the tentacles of strange flowers, which looked extremely strange.
And in the midst of the group of ghostly babies, a beautiful maiden sat on a stone on the ground with a dull expression, holding a fat, sleepy Terran baby in her arms.
And those terrible babies are stretching out their tentacles like flowers, clinging to the delicate skin of the Terran babies, as if they are sucking the blood of the Terran babies.
Mingyue exclaimed, "Wan'er? “
That beautiful girl, with a slender figure, snow-white skin, and a pair of beautiful big eyes, is the youngest daughter of Master Wei of Daze Town, Wan'er, who disappeared for no reason.
It's just that Wan'er looked sluggish at this time, her beautiful eyes were blank, and she was full of demonic energy, as if she was a puppet without consciousness, and she turned a deaf ear to the things around her.
Mingyue and Feng Qingcheng glanced at each other in horror, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.
These babies must not be Terran babies.
And Wan'er is not the original Wan'er.
The baby in Wan'er's arms is the baby of the human race.
The two of them thought of those flowers of the underworld, and suddenly realized that those babies with tufted whiskers were the flowers of the underworld, and they were transformed into monsters after eating human babies.
These monsters, feeding on human babies as nourishment for their transformation, are truly hateful.
Feng Chengcheng and Mingyue both saw infinite anger in each other's eyes.
The Wind and the Moon Chasing Sword were sacrificed in an instant, turning into a rain of swords in the sky, slashing at those humanoid monsters.
However, those humanoid monsters seemed to sense the breath of the living people here, and they turned their heads one after another, looking at the two of them with hideous faces, their fangs instantly stretched out from their blood-red mouths, their tentacle-like hands shook suddenly, and the fluttering white pollen fluttered down.
The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, and Rao is Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng had already taken the detoxification pill, and they also felt a little dizzy.
Wan'er put the baby in her arms aside, suddenly raised her head, and looked at them viciously.
In the rain of swords, Wan'er's figure flashed strangely, and a scimitar suddenly came out of her hand, slashing at the rain of swords in the sky, her body leaped in the air, and the shining scimitar split a gap, and the sword light struck at Mingyue and Feng Qicheng.
