Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_ Chapter 57, Red Pool
The red liquid and the huge lonely stones floating on the river, this scene is a bit similar to the old versions of Hong Kong-made ghost movies that I have seen in the past. But the smell of fiddling in the air and the strong evil smell wafting around me really told me that this was not a movie, and that it was full of danger.
I motioned for everyone to stop, it feels bad to me here, how can I say it? It's like getting into a cave that can burst out at any moment, so small that you can't turn your head, and there is no light, and you can't stretch your arms. But even that description doesn't say enough about the horror of the place.
"How? See the doorway? The fat man asked in a low voice. I shook my head and said, "It looks chaotic here, the aura is good, and I even feel like there are a pair of eyes staring at us in the darkness all around. Don't worry about these for now, you take Luo Qiong to set up lighting spots in a safer place around, and try to make it as bright as possible. Also, don't go near the red liquid in the middle, it gives me a particularly bad feeling. ”
The fat man and Luo Qiong went their separate ways and made several large fires with dry firewood, flammable cotton wool and a large amount of burn-resistant bark, and the entire underground space was obviously much brighter after ignition. In the light of the fire, the red liquid around the stone did not emit too much light, and the dark red feeling was not very pleasant.
"Why doesn't this liquid reflect light?" The fat man muttered.
"It may have something to do with the composition of these liquids themselves, you guys help me control the wind, and I'll go up to explore the reality." I said a few words and walked up slowly, slowly approaching the red liquid in front of me. The lame old man said that the red liquid in front of him was the blood of some kind of creature, but at the same time, he also made a special statement that this blood did not come from the demon race or humans, so what was the blood of something that could exist here for hundreds of years, and exude an evil aura that made me feel so strongly uneasy?
The closer I got, the stronger the feeling of this attack became, and it was as if it was a terrifying hand that was trying to pull me in little by little, while I myself was walking towards the terrible red lake at the same time. But the closer I got, the closer I feel that I am about to be destroyed, but the closer I am to the truth.
About five or six meters away, auditory hallucinations began to appear in my ears, at first very slight and low crying, like the murmuring of old people and children, but as time went on, these cries began to become louder and more complex. I frowned, and said to myself, "Hallucination...... Or the cry of the dead? ”
In a place like the one in front of you, where the evil aura is relatively heavy, the soul of the dead cannot enter the underground underworld, let alone be reincarnated, just like a beast trapped in a cage, without freedom. It's normal to cry, it's not surprising that I can hear crying, but what really makes me strange is that I haven't seen a single ghost.
This lake of blood is said to have cost the lives of dozens of people in it, but these dead souls should still be trapped here, so I can hear the crying, but why can't I see the dead souls?
After thinking about it, I was able to walk up to the red liquid, bent down to look at the blood-glowing lake in front of me, frowned slightly, and said, "It looks like blood, it smells like it, really?" ”
I crouched down, according to my experience, I can't casually touch the red liquid that I don't know the composition of at this moment, but I have a feeling in my heart that when I touch this red liquid, I seem to understand what this seal is all about. I lowered my head and held out my hand, which burned a flame to be safe.
Then the burning hand was inserted into the red liquid, I didn't think that the flame actually burned all over the red lake in an instant, I was stunned in my heart, seeing the flames flowing on the surface of the lake, the speed was amazing, before and after ten seconds, the huge lake seemed to become a sea of flames, I hurriedly jumped back, behind me heard the fat people they shouted at me: "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
I couldn't tell what had happened myself, but I heard the sound of "dang dang ......" as if coming from the stone platform, and at the same time, more real and terrible weepings came from the lake. My ears hurt when I listened, and then red shadows floated out of the lake. From a distance, you can still tell that these are things that look like ghosts, but unlike the souls of ordinary gray bodies, these souls are all red! At the same time, the surface of the body is wrapped in a layer that resembles a flame.
"What's going on?" I was constantly being asked this question, and I was distracted by the cries and turned around and shouted, "How the do I know what's going on!" Don't push it! ”
The undead flew in the flames, like huge flame moths that flew high into the air and fluttered their wings. I felt more and more that something was wrong and started to back off.
......I could still hear the strange beating sound in spite of the noisy weeping, and I had retreated to the fat man's side, and everyone was ready for the terrible calamity that might break out at any moment. However, the truth seemed to be different from what all of us thought, because after a few minutes, the flames on the surface of the bloody lake suddenly disappeared, and the moth-like undead floated in the air, and the cry from the mouth suddenly turned into a terrified wail.
"They look scared...... "I could even make out the fearful expressions on the faces of the few undead who were close to me.
They wore strange clothes, and the style of these clothes could even be described as simple, like the terrible primitive humans who came out of the era of Ru Mao and drank blood. Outside of the first time, they seem to be opening their mouths to speak, but apparently these ghosts are not very deep, because their voices sound strange.
"These don't seem to be ghosts...... "We were wondering, Yuan Feng behind him suddenly said, "They don't seem to be ghosts, what we see seems to be some images from the past...... It's like what we saw in the fairy mountain. ”
I was stunned for a moment, remembering the fact that the crystal of the Immortal Mountain had recorded the images of the past, and immediately spoke: "You mean, these images are all false, that is, they have happened in the past, but now we just see what happened in the past?" ”
"That's pretty much it." Yuan Feng nodded.
"Look at the lake!" The fat man suddenly shouted loudly. The blood-colored surface of the lake rolled huge waves, and then a large red wave suddenly erupted from the left and right sides of the stone platform, and these waves quickly coalesced into two large hands in the air, of course, the appearance of these large hands was only somewhat similar. The large hand of red liquid slapped over each of the dead souls floating in the air, pulling them down one by one, and I watched the poor souls that had left their fears here fall and disappear one after another, as if they had been erased from their existence.
The big red hand circled around the surface of the lake and then fell back into the lake and disappeared......
I saw that the situation seemed to have calmed down, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "The seal in this lake is very mysterious, and when I approached just now, I saw not only an illusion, but this feeling...... It's weird......"
"How can a flame burn in a liquid? Could it be that all these liquids are gasoline? Also, how can you say that the flame is gone? "The fat man's tangled points are obviously different from mine.
"What would happen if a living creature fell into the pool, you say?" Luo Qiong asked, I thought about it and took out an apple from my bag, and said, "It's a bit laborious to catch mice now, I'll try this apple first." ”
I tied the rope with the apple and threw it into the red lake, and it was calm until I pulled the rope back, and the moment the rope pulled the apple back in front of me. Only then did I find that the originally round apples had turned a burnt red, like the fruit that had been left in the desert for three days.
"Looks like this thing is fierce enough." I cut the rope and whispered.
"No, we can try to freeze, isn't the winning fish here?" The fat man turned around and said to Ying Yu, who was stunned and looked at Ying Long, with an eager expression on his face.
