Chapter Seventy-Four: The Undead Witch Beast
After walking for a while, there were forks in the hole again, this time there were five of them.
Ding Xiaocong stopped the team again, his face became solemn, and he couldn't feel the yin and yang changes left by the people in front of him. Of course, it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, and the only explanation is that in order to avoid being bitten by someone's tail, the other party used a spell to erase all traces.
For the ghost king Dong Pengchai, this is not a difficult task.
"Several, I can't sense them." Ding Xiaocong told everyone about the current situation, and now everyone needs to make an idea.
A few people rested on the spot, eating dry food, and discussing what to do next.
In the underground brine here, the concentration of luminous shrimp is extremely high, and the faint light emitted is aggregated, and the cave is illuminated, and the naked eye can see.
"Can't keep up any longer." Hua Hongying nibbled on bread and expressed her opinion, and his experience in this team, which was mainly made up of young people, was invaluable. "The other party is becoming more and more vigilant, maybe what the hell is going on, blindly following, we are very passive."
The big guy nodded again and again, now the enemy's situation is unknown, the more they follow, the more weak they become, if something happens in the belly of this mountain, there is no way to ask for help, it is too dangerous.
The next step is simple, simply give up tracking and go directly to find the witch, which is the ultimate goal of this operation. After finding the witch girl, even if you fight them outside, there is a way out.
Having established the direction of the next step, Ding Xiaocong bit the bread, took out a glass bottle from his backpack, and opened the lid.
As soon as the lid was opened, the bottle immediately lit up with a little yellow light, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be many fireflies.
There is also a curtain on the mouth of the bottle, and these fireflies cannot fly.
Fireflies have the property of chasing souls, and in the depths of this mountain, instinctively will carry them close to the spirit of the witch, if she is there.
Under the gaze of the four, Ding Xiaocong squatted at the water's edge and gently put the bottle into the water. The fireflies immediately flapped their wings and swam slowly against the top of the bottle wall.
Unexpectedly, the bottle did not swim to the hole in front of it, but circled in front of Ding Xiaocong.
"What's going on?" Ding Xiaocong was puzzled, although it is impossible to rely on fireflies to find souls as accurately and clearly as the witch eye, but you always have to rely on some evidence, what does this mean?
The bottle spun around and slowly floated back, Ding Xiaocong reached out and prepared to fish the bottle back to see what was going on.
Just as his hand was about to touch the bottle, Jiang Bai's scream came from behind him, "Be careful! ”
As soon as his back tightened, the back collar was grabbed and pulled back hard, Ding Xiaocong was dragged to the ground, and his hand left the bottle. At the same time, the water in front of him suddenly exploded, and a large mouth of blood burst out of the water, biting into the air.
"Boom" There was a splash of water, splashing everyone's face, and the big guys were all stupid, holding the bread in their hands, stunned.
This sudden change made everyone's scalp numb and their souls scattered.
The water surface was still fluctuating in a wide range, but the thing was gone, Ding Xiaocong reacted, hurriedly retreated, and squeezed on the rock wall, his face was colorless, "That and that...... What the hell is that?! ”
No one could see what it was, it was happening so fast, only a big mouth, a meter after opening! The texture is as cold and hard as a rock.
The bottle full of fireflies hadn't sunk yet, it was still slowly turning around on the water, Hua Hongying squirted off the bread in her mouth with a "poof", turned on the flashlight with her backhand, and shone it into the brine under the bottle.
The spotlight flashlight penetrated the water, and I saw that there seemed to be an oval-shaped boulder underwater, swimming slowly, and I couldn't see the whole picture clearly.
Whatever it is, it's a big guy!
Everyone who reacted hurriedly took out their own guys, trembling and on guard.
The flashlight circle chased the thing, and after the monster swam back and forth in the water twice, its huge body spun around and swam to the depths of the cave.
As soon as the monster moved, Ding Xiaocong hurriedly shouted and chased after him, "Keep up!" ”
Ding Xiaocong didn't see what it was, but he saw another thing clearly, this thing has no soul!
If you can live without a soul, you must not be an ordinary beast, this thing is a witch beast transformed by witches! The witch beast found in the depths of this mountain is likely to be related to the witch girl, maybe it is her guardian witch beast, and it is likely to be rewarding in the future.
The monster in the water swam away, and the glass bottle filled with fireflies immediately swam away, as if it were being held by an invisible rope.
The five of them began to chase after each other in a hurry, and Hua Hongying's flashlight kept following closely, for fear that the photo would be lost. If such a vicious thing is lost, it will be difficult to find it, and you won't even dare to go into the water.
Just after chasing a few steps, the surface of the water broke open again, a big mouth stretched out, and when he looked up, a long strip of something was sprayed out by it, and it turned out to be a human arm!
The big guys looked at each other, it seems that the estimate just now may be biased, and the people in front of them are not hiding their whereabouts at all to avoid them, but to prevent the attack of this monster, some of them have been eaten!
Ding Xiaocong could clearly see that after his arm was spit out, a wisp of remnant soul dissipated, and this witch beast not only ate meat, but also ate souls! Maybe the soul has not been completely digested just now, and the fireflies subconsciously chased after this witch beast.
However, after the remnant dissipated, the bottle hesitated slightly, and still chased after the witch beast, it seems that this thing is really related to the witch!
Fortunately, this thing doesn't seem to be very flexible, and it doesn't swim fast, and a few people can catch up in a hurry.
At the fork in the road, as on the previous occasions, the crowd once again chased them into the far right of the hole. The entrance to the cave was so narrow that the current immediately became so strong that even if you ran against the wall of the cave, it was almost impossible to stand.
The waterway was divided into five, and the water surface became very shallow, and the deepest part was only half a meter, and the witch beast finally revealed the true face of Lushan.
Seeing the thing gradually rising, the big guy was dumbfounded, and from behind, it was a huge turtle!
As far as is known, the largest turtle in the world is a giant tortoise, and the largest individual of that thing is only more than a meter long and weighs hundreds of pounds. This turtle is only five meters long with a head and tail, and weighs several tons!
"Oh my God!" Several people gasped at the same time, this scene was unimaginable.
Ding Xiaocong confirmed the conjecture, if he can grow so big, he must be a witch beast, cold-blooded animals basically have no physical restrictions, as long as they live, they will always grow up. This witch beast has been dealt with by the Great Witch, and its soulless body can live for thousands of years before it has its current physique.
