Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_ Chapter 58, Strange Lake Water
If the winning fish can freeze the entire red pool, it will be too good for us. Obviously, he also wants to make a move, but he needs to see if Ying Long agrees. Ying Long glanced at me and nodded, Ying Yu immediately rolled up his sleeves, smiled at Luo Qiong and said, "Look at me to get you a big ice fruit!" ”
But when he walked to the side of the red pool, stretched out his hand, and rolled up his sleeve, he saw a cold air surrounding his arm, as if a layer of cold ice was entwined. He crouched down and placed his hand in the red pool, as the snake walked behind him in response to him.
The water in the pool starts to freeze little by little from the arm around the winning fish, and the whole freezing process is not very fast. Ying Yu whispered, "There is a strong force in the pool against my hand, but I can still handle this force." ”
The freezing rate is much slower than expected, but judging by the situation, it should be done in half an hour. I laughed and joked, "Looks like you're doing a lot of good work." ”
Ying Long glanced at me and said, "It's better than just throwing an apple." ”
However, the relaxed and comfortable situation did not last long, and Ying Yu suddenly screamed, and then half of his body was pulled to the ground, and at the same time shouted: "Something, something is pulling my hand!" ”
We hurriedly ran up, but we saw that Yingyu's whole hand stretched out into the water was very straight, and the whole person was sticking to the ground, struggling hard. The face is red, coupled with the panic of encountering an unexpected situation, it is frightening to watch.
"What's going on?" Ying Long asked.
"There's something, there's something under the water that's holding me, pull me up!" Ying Yu shouted in a panic, and the snake next to him hurriedly shot out, breaking the ice on the water surface, and the fat man and Luo Qiong grabbed Ying Yu's arm and pulled it back desperately.
"I can't get up, the strength of that thing down there is so great!" He shouted desperately, and at the critical moment, Ying Long slapped his palm on the water, and forcibly pierced the entire red pool by means of segmentation. The red liquid parted on both sides, and I saw a face appear in front of me, a red illusion that had just floated in the air, and was holding the hand of the winning fish. I was taken aback, rubbing my eyes, only to realize that what I saw was not a ghost, but a hallucination caused by a red liquid. At this moment, it is the red lake itself that is holding the arm of the winning fish!
The lake wrapped around and climbed up his arm, as if we were wrestling not with a revenant or a monster, but with the whole red lake.
"What a lot of strength, Shanzi, Luo Qiong and I are almost overwhelmed!" The fat man shouted loudly, Ying Long's face was solemn, and his palms slapped out again and again, constantly piercing the red pool water. As if the tentacles had been cut off, the fat man and Luo Qiong exerted their strength after the red pool water broke, and dragged the winning fish back.
"Fuck, I'm tired...... the fat man muttered, sitting on the ground panting vigorously.
On the other hand, he shook his arm desperately for the rest of his life, throwing out the red liquid on his arm, and said in horror: "Damn, scared, scared me to death......"
"Are you alright?" Ying Long asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine, it's just that my arm is a little sore." Winning Fish nodded.
"This pool is too strange, it doesn't feel like an ordinary lake, it seems to ...... It seems to be a living ......" Luo Qiong was standing next to the pond at that time, which was a more intuitive feeling he gave. I didn't say a word, but looked at the ground, trying to look for the droplets that had been dropped by the winning fish, but strangely enough, there was nothing to be seen on the ground, and the ground seemed to be completely dry in the light of the flames.
"What's going on? How is the ground dry? I asked strangely, my eyes searching, and suddenly I saw some red marks flowing on the ground, like small snakes that had fled into the wilderness. Here are snakes? I felt strange in my heart, and when I chased after it, I realized that what I was chasing was not a snake but some red liquid, which broke away from Luo Qiong's hand and re-entered the lake at this moment.
I'm like I've seen a ghost, what's going on? Why do water droplets seem to come to life?
"What do you see?" Someone behind him asked.
I came back to my senses and looked back, and saw the snake standing behind me, shook my head and said, "Maybe it's an illusion, it's nothing." ”
"Oh......" The snake seemed to be a little ready to speak, but at the moment he didn't say anything.
The sudden situation on the winning fish is a wake-up call for all of us, at least one thing, in the case of complete safety and security, you must never go near this red pool casually, otherwise the consequences may be very serious.
"Everyone is tired, let's go up first, eat something, and rest......" The fat man saw that everyone was at a loss, and simply proposed to go back to the ground. I'm not opposed to this proposal, and maybe you can come up with something good to get out of the weird and terrifying atmosphere of the underground.
On the ground, in the ancestral hall, because the Flowing Cloud Seal was broken, our position was still safe. A fire was made, and the dry food was taken out and the people ate it. I didn't have much appetite, so I didn't open my mouth much after chewing half a steamed bun, lit a cigarette, and sat on the stone in front of the ancestral hall in a daze.
"What do you think?" The fat man walked over and asked strangely.
"It's nothing, it just feels like time flies so fast, I still remember when I was a child, there was farmland all around here, you see, in the past few years, it has begun to move, and many small buildings around it have been built. There are two or three storey small buildings in the village behind, and when we were young, there was only one commercial street, and there were some small shops, and life was really different from the past. ”
The fat man smiled and said, "Yes, I was still wondering some time ago whether these children born in the nineties will still dig sweet potatoes and steal corn to eat like we did when we were children." I don't think so, we used to have a lot of fun. ”
"Times are changing, and some things will be eliminated if they can't become classics, and there is no way. It's like when we were kids, we played with rolling iron, and now children play with remote-controlled cars. When we were children, we played shuttlecock games, and now children compete and play games, and that's not the same. I said, waving my hand.
"That's right, but I think we're still happy when we were kids. Haha, why don't we find a chance to secretly get some sweet potatoes and corn to eat......" The fat man laughed as he spoke, and I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "You want to think of something good." ”
At this moment, the fat man said softly: "Our situation is not good, the Great Yuan Tiancheng Mansion doesn't know when it will arrive, the people of the Xuanfeng Gate are still staring at us in the dark, and the Zhongtian Gate may also send a master to deal with us." Although the people in Group Zero are on our side for the time being, you also know that Ying Long's virtue is very likely to stab us in the back at a critical moment. ”
"Hmm......" I glanced at Guan Senpai as I nodded, "I think there must be something wrong with the red pool, before I put my hand burning the flame into it, the water in the pool immediately burned, and then the winning fish released the cold air, and it seemed that the red pool was also adapted." Feel...... Well...... I mean, it doesn't feel like a red lake, it's like a giant monster. ”
"Don't think about it, let's explore again in the evening, it's really not okay, we can only go here today. Otherwise, you can talk to Guan again in the evening and see if he can give some good advice. ”
As it turned out, we still couldn't break the last seal, and I was counting on Guan's senior to help, but alas, he was meditating all the time. At night, everyone was a little discouraged because of the bad luck during the day, after all, we should have destroyed the sleeping Ye Yuan Ancestor at this moment, and everyone should have danced and drank in the night disco, instead of sitting here blowing the cold wind and baking the fire to keep warm.
"Let's all rest, there is a possibility of new developments happening every day." I clapped my hands.
Everyone went into their tents, Hubhya was in charge of the vigil, and I got into the blanket and was looking for some pajamas with my eyes closed. After about half an hour, it was quiet outside, and the slight snoring of the fat man and Luo Qiong came. I closed my eyes, but I seemed to hear some trivial noise, coming towards us from far and near.
