Given that this thing has been completely degenerated, I have no choice but to cast a spell to kill it.

As soon as he died, the contents of his left pocket stopped shaking.

I put my hand in his pocket, and I felt something that resembled air-dried meat, and when I took it out, it was a green worm that had been dried in the shade.

It looked like a giant bean worm, the length of an adult's palm, and though it had been dried in the shade, the color of its skin was very bright, a dirty green that resembled sewage, very close to the fog I had seen in the illusion.

I remember the last time I interrogated the thin man, he also had a corpse transformation the moment I pulled the ghost out of his body, but due to the dim light in the autopsy room, I didn't notice that he also had this kind of worm stem that would tremble in the corpse.

I suspect that it is most likely that the aura on the ghost creature has some kind of effect on the worm stem, causing something to be released from above, and it is this kind of thing that has triggered the corpse qi on the thin man and the burnt-faced man, causing them to undergo a corpse transformation.

The Rat King came up to me and asked, "What is this?" ”

I glanced at the body of the charred-faced man and reminded him, "Hold your breath. ”

"What...... No way! ”

Without the support of the corpse, the scorched-faced man's body began to decay rapidly, and a strong rancid smell permeated the power room in an instant.

The Rat King couldn't bear the smell of it, so he immediately pulled me out of the power room and quickly closed the door.

The stench was finally sealed in the house, and the rat king opened his mouth to change a few breaths.

I held up the worm in my hand and asked him, "Have you ever seen this thing?" ”

The Rat King nodded: "I've seen it underground, there are many around the pillar, and the people in the underground call him poisonous fingers, because it looks like fingers, and it is highly poisonous, even when there is a famine in the underground world, no one dares to eat this thing." ”

"You say, these bugs, will they have something to do with the green mist?"

"I can't tell you about this, what happened to the black fire just now? Why is he rotten? ”

"He has a corpse mutiny, and I have no choice but to kill him. The evil corpse is like this, once the corpse qi on the body is removed, it will decay rapidly. ”

"Are you going to take a look at the clear water pool?"

"Go, that's exactly what I'm going to do."

As I spoke, I shoved the worm into my pocket, pointed to the hole at the edge of the square, and motioned for the Rat King to lead the way.

I suggest sneaking up to the Clear Water Pool, where I can take down the guards and then go to the bottom of the pool.

But the Rat King said that this is his territory, he has had enough of acting in his own territory and has to be cautious, and the guards around the clear water pool are traitors from time to time, even if they swagger over, it is not impossible, if I am worried about being discovered by others, then I will hide my body, don't take him with me.

I had to tell the Rat King: "There are indeed no moles among the guards, but at least one of these people has a big mouth, so you are not afraid, and he will tell the pig's head about us going to the clear water pool to explore the bottom?" Since the pig's head was poisoned in the guard's meal, it was enough to prove that he also knew that the entrance to the vein was at the bottom of the pool. ”

Hearing me say this, the Rat King came back to his senses: "There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life, one is a traitor, and the other is a long-tongued woman." ”

I pushed him on the back: "Stop grinding, lead the way." ”

We are located right now, right in the western part of the drainage system, not far from the western gateway where the clear water pond is located.

The Rat King led me through several corridors and soon arrived at the Clear Water Pool.

This place should have been a square before, and the clear water pond should be a small pond in the square, the water of the pond is indeed quite clear, but it is a stagnant pool, and there are no other water veins around it to irrigate and circulate.

I used my soul departing hand to disperse the dantian qi of a few guards, causing them to fall into a coma temporarily, and then I was led by the Rat King to the pool.

The water was quite deep, and I illuminated it with a ghost candle, but the faint light could not penetrate the water layer, and I did not know how deep the bottom of the pool was.

At this time, I heard the Rat King say: "This pool is exactly two meters deep. ”

I put away the candle and asked him, "Where does the water come from?" There are no water veins around, and the mouth of the pool is at the top of the reef peak, and the water downstream cannot pass. ”

"All this water seeps out of the ground, from the reef to be exact. Strange to say, whenever the water in the pool is more than two meters deep, the underground water will stop seeping, and once the water depth is less than two meters, new water will seep out. This pond was originally a sacred pond in the sea market, and like the springs in the new town, it also provided clean drinking water. But I don't know why, when the new city was built, Haiting insisted on burying it underground. ”

"Is this where all the people in the sewers get their water?"

"We never get water here, since the foundation pillar cracked, it seeped slower down, just a little bit of water, not enough to drink, and now we still drink water from the outside, and there is a drinking water pipe that goes directly from the surface to the sewer."

"Has anyone gone down before?"

"Don't make a fuss, this is the holy pool, but no one dares to bathe in it, and those who defile the holy pool will be burned at the stake."

"Why do you think of it as a holy pool?"

It is said that the bottom of the pond is inhabited by gods, and the reason why the sea market still stands today is because it is protected by the gods. However, no one has believed in this deity anymore, and since the Clear Water Pond was sealed underground, the inhabitants of the surface have even forgotten about its existence. ”

It occurred to me that the scorched-faced man had said that the entrance to the mineral deposit was located on the highest reef peak, which meant that the altitude we were at was higher than where the spring was.

The Rat King poked me with his hand: "Do you want to go down?" ”

I nodded: "I'll go down and find out, you help me control the wind." ”

"Well, I don't think we're like thieves."

"I was supposed to be a thief."

After saying that, I took out all the scattered magic weapons on my body, stuffed them into the rat king, and then plunged into the water.

The Rat King was right, the depth of the water was only about two meters, and when I held my breath and came to the bottom of the pool, I could touch the uneven surface of the reef as soon as I stretched out my hand.

At the same time, I can clearly feel that the deeper I dive, the more strange the aura diffused in the water becomes.

It was not a normal aura that should be in a water body, but a mixed aura that was close to corpse qi and yin qi, but it was not yin qi and corpse qi, the evil aura in the sea market seemed to exist independently of the outside world, and there were many evil qi here that I had never seen before.

I swam slowly along the bottom of the pool with my feet swinging, and it was pitch black, and I could only grope my hands on the surface of the reef to see if I could spot anything unusual.
