Chapter 91: Something Underwater
Li Anyang and I put the mushroom essence back in its place, and then walked towards the South Lake, and sure enough, we felt a strong yin qi as soon as we walked over.
There was a smell of corpses in the air, and it felt very bad anyway.
I looked at the dark lake and said, "Isn't it possible that we still have to go down?" ”
"It's not necessary, I have a way to force something out of the water, but whether I can handle it or not is another matter." Li Anyang looked towards the bottom of the water, but there was nothing but her reflection.
"Do you want to try it?" I asked.
"Later, if you say I want to run, you will immediately run outside and don't turn your head back, understand?" She said something to me, and when she saw me nodding, she took out a yellow talisman from her bag, and with a flick of her hand, the yellow talisman burned by itself.
This fire is exactly the same as the fire that burned Su Ze last time, I don't understand, water, can't it be extinguished? Shall not the fire be extinguished when it is thrown into the water?
In my surprised gaze, Li Anyang gently put the burning yellow talisman into the water.
"Isn't that going to be extinguished later?" I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.
"No, this is a three-flavor real fire, and ordinary water can't extinguish it." Li Anyang shook his head and said.
"Oh, I see." I understand it now, it's the first time I've seen the so-called three-flavor real fire, I've heard about it in TV dramas or books, and it turns out that there really is such a thing.
The bright flame slowly sank to the bottom of the water, illuminating the surroundings, and you could see that the water was very deep, and there were many aquatic plants, and suddenly a black shadow swam through the water, very vague, but I could see it clearly.
I immediately called Li Anyang: "Look, what is that?!" ”
She followed the direction of my finger and looked over, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face: "Remember, I'll let you run later, you must run!" ”
"Got it, don't worry about this for now, you see that shadow is gone!" I looked at the bottom of the water, there was obviously a black shadow just now, but now there was nothing, the three flavors of real fire, slowly burning under the water, I saw white smoke rising from the surface of the water, and boiling bubbles.
As I stood at the water's edge, I could clearly feel the heat in the water.
"Shhh A terrible wail sounded muffled underneath the water.
I saw that the water surface fluttered twice, and a black thing appeared, and he could be seen clearly by the moonlight, which was a human form? However, it was not human, his skin was already pitch black, and there were many festering places on it, as if they had been burned, her face was very hideous, her eyes were protruding, there were no lips, her yellow teeth were exposed, and he had no nose, only two black holes.
"Uh-huh!" The thing, with its mouth open, began to growl.
And the stench was even stronger, and I couldn't help but cover my nose and ask, "What the hell is this thing that stinks!" ”
"This is the legendary zombie, but we prefer to call him the living dead." Li Anyang had already stood up, took out his copper coin sword, and looked at the black thing very vigilantly.
"Zombies?!" I've seen it in the way, so it's dead, and it's not a ghost, but its body is alive.
"Yes, these things don't have any sense of self, they attack any living thing they see. And they are extremely fast, not at all like rotting corpses. ”
"But the rotting corpse, shouldn't it be shattered at the touch of it?" I suddenly remembered that the knowledge that the teacher had told us in the anatomy class did not look at all like the things that had rotted after death, except for the smell of corpses.
"There are many kinds of formation of the living dead, it may be that the location where he is buried is different, it is possible that he is contaminated with anything related to living things, and after a long time the yang energy erodes her body and it will become a zombie." Li Anyang shook his head and explained to me.
"Well, what do we do now?" If this thing is alive, how can we solve it?
"The only way is to cut off his head, this is one way for him to prevent him from continuing to act, and another way, that is, to extract all his yang energy, so that he will return to the appearance of a dead corpse." Saying that, Li Anyang took out a few pieces of yellow paper: "Later, I will trap him with an enchantment, and you will cut off his head with a copper coin sword." It's best not to use your silver needle, as her moisture will get on it and it may affect you later. I nodded, and then took out the copper coin sword, ready to go.
Now the black thing slowly climbed up from the bottom of the water, Li Anyang quickly drew a formation on the yellow paper, when the thing came up, she silently recited something in her mouth, and then, with a wave of her right hand, countless ropes appeared in it, quickly rushing towards the black shadow and tying him up.
"Quick! Now is the time! Li Anyang shouted loudly, I didn't stop for a long time, and quickly rushed to the black shadow, and the copper coin sword flicked towards his head with a "click", and the head of the thing was broken in response.
"Get out of there, corpse gas will eat away at your body." Li Anyang said loudly behind me.
I immediately turned away, fearing that the corpse qi of that thing would really eat away at my body.
After a while, a cloud of black gas came out of the object's neck, making a "crackling" sound in the air.
Immediately after, the zombie fell down, convulsed twice, and there was no more movement, and his head lay quietly on the side, his eyes widened, as if there was something unwilling.
"So what should we do now?" I asked.
"Did he say that this is the thing that looks strange at the bottom of the lake?" Li Anyang's face was full of doubt, and he didn't seem to believe it at all.
"What's wrong?" I didn't understand what she meant.
"If it's just a living dead, there's nothing strange about the bottom of this lake. Looks like we're going to have to get in the water and take a look! ”
"Into the water?!" I was shocked, and I looked at the dark surface of the lake again, and I was a little scared.
"It's okay, you wait for me up there, I'll go down." Li Anyang seemed to see my fear, and then said.
Before I could speak, she took off her clothes, and as soon as she looked like she was about to go down, I immediately stepped forward and grabbed her, and said, "Wait, wait, are you going to go on like this?!" ”
"yes, or else?" She thought I was weird.
"You, you can't see anything when you go down, and you can't hold your breath, you don't know how deep the bottom is."
"I, the ability to hold my breath is quite good, and I have three flavors of real fire, I can see what is under the lake."
I didn't know how to answer her innocent answer, but I didn't let go of her: "No, no, it's too dangerous for you to go on like this, anyway, think of a new way." ”
"It's okay, I said it's okay, it's okay!" Li Anyang waved his hand, ready to break free from my block.
"Hiss"
"Hiss"
……
While the two of us were arguing, we heard that strange sound in the water.
The two of us stopped what we were doing, and immediately looked at the water vigilantly, and there were churning bubbles in the water from time to time. And with that weird roar.
"Well, there's not going to be a lot of that, is it?!" I swallowed my saliva and said, my heart tightened.
"The odds are high!" Li Anyang said and put all the clothes on his body, and then pulled me back to a place a little farther away from the water, grabbed the copper coin sword in his hand, and began to draw the formation casually.
"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, and a black head was seen coming out of the water. Immediately after that, there were several muffled sounds, four, five, six, seven, and all the heads came out. I looked over in the moonlight and gasped, aren't these things the living dead?!
"What now?!" I pulled Li Anyang's sleeve.
"Run!" Li Anyang yelled, then dragged me around and ran.
I didn't even scream, I was scared so much, it was ugly and disgusting, it was fast, and it was terrible. Now don't say it's one, there are at least ten or twenty hidden under the water.
Soon, a foul smell filled the woods, and it was very strong.
The branches of the trees were rustling in the cold wind, and even the sound of rustling next to them was gone.
We ran frantically forward, but somehow, the forest felt farther and farther away, and we ran for a long time, but we couldn't find the exit. Soon I sensed that something was wrong, stopped, and pulled Li Anyang with my hand.
He also stopped, turned to look at me, his face full of doubt, and asked, "Why did you stop?" Those things move very fast, and we're probably the only living creatures in the forest right now. ”
"Don't you think something is wrong!? We haven't run out of the woods for so long! I said breathlessly, just now, I was running too fast, and now I suddenly stopped, and my feet began to tremble.
As soon as I said this, Li Anyang was stunned for a moment, and then a solemnity appeared on his face, and he looked around at the forest: "I'm afraid we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall." ”
"Ghost hitting the wall? So what do we do now?! "I exclaimed, it's true that all the things I've heard before are happening now, and it's true, when, the more anxious you are, the more things will come.
"We have to go to the left."
"Left?" Hearing what Li Anyang said, I felt a little strange in my heart, isn't this kind of thing a ghost hitting the wall a dead end wherever you go.
"Yes, keep going to the left, keep your left foot in the left direction, so that's it, you can get out of the ghost wall." Li Anyang nodded, and then took a demonstration step to show me.
