Chapter 231: Black Water and White Face

Wu Zhiyuan heard it very clearly, the sound of "bang" was like the sound of the water surface stirring when the living creatures in the water were active, this kind of place was cold and abnormal, and there was no light of day all year round, there should never be fish and shrimp in the water, could it be that there were some monsters in the pool?

Thinking of the strange setting of this pool, Wu Zhiyuan felt more and more that there must be something strange in the pool. He pondered for a moment, picked up the oil lamp from the plate served by the lamp slave with his left hand, and walked towards the pool with his right hand holding the wooden sword.

As the oil lights approached, the situation in the pool gradually became clear. The water in the pool is pitch black, I can't see the situation in the water, and I can't know how deep the water is, at this time, the water surface is calm, there is not a trace of ripples, it seems that the monster's activity in the water just now is not violent, otherwise there should be ripples and shaking on the water surface.

In the center of the pool is a rockery, this rockery is very strange, the mountain is not big, it is elongated, there are three raised mountains in the middle, the mountain in the middle is higher, the two sides are lower, although this kind of mountain stone is extremely rare in reality, but it matches with this pool, but it also seems to be very compatible.

Wu Zhiyuan walked to the edge of the pool, attached himself to the water, and approached the oil lamp in his hand to the water, wanting to see the situation in the clear water, the black water may not be a problem with the water quality, but the dark light around him.

The light of the oil lamp was instantly reflected on the dark water surface, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the light on the water surface, and found that the pool was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, presumably this pool of water was a pool of stagnant water, since it was stagnant water, it was expected that there would be no monsters in it.

Thinking like this, Wu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was just about to lift the oil lamp in his hand away from the water, when suddenly the light flickered, he was suddenly taken aback, and the hand holding the oil lamp was also frozen in mid-air, only to see a person reflected on the water surface, that person was holding a peachwood sword in his right hand, and holding an oil lamp in his left hand near the water, and the whole person was half-squatting by the pool, this was Wu Zhiyuan himself, but right behind him, close to his right shoulder, there was actually a miserable white face!

Wu Zhiyuan stared at the human face reflected on the water, the expression of the human face was empty, there were no eyes, no nose, no blood, and it was frighteningly white. When did this person come to him? Why is there no movement at all? Wu Zhiyuan felt that his heart was hairy, and the cold sweat on his back came down instantly.

There was a stalemate for a moment, but this moment seemed to Wu Zhiyuan to be longer than the earth, and the miserable white face had been lying on his right shoulder, as if he was also peeking at the reflection in the water with Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly remembered the snake he had encountered before, the snake gave birth to a human head and snake body, and her face was miserable and terrifying, but the snake had all the facial features, regardless of the face and skin color, its facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and the face behind her did not seem to be the same.

Wu Zhiyuan thought in his mind, but his body didn't dare to move, for fear that any inadvertent move would make the white-faced owner behind him suspicious, and then unfavorable to himself, but at this time, the left hand holding the oil lamp began to tremble unconsciously, and the fire of the oil lamp jumped, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the oil lamp that shook slightly with his wrist, and then moved his gaze to the water, and found that the face behind him was gone!

He turned around suddenly, and at the same time shone the oil lamp in his hand behind him, and sure enough, behind him was a clearing, and at the end of the clearing was a stone wall, and then to the left and right, where the oil lamp shone there was no shadow of the human face at all.

The two sides stared at each other for so long, Wu Zhiyuan firmly believed that it was not an illusion, the white face lying on his shoulder was real, but where did the white face go now, this is the weirdness of this matter.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal around, Wu Zhiyuan was suspicious again, so he put the oil lamp and the wooden sword on the ground, touched his left shoulder with his right hand around his neck, and touched his right shoulder with his left hand in the same way, and there was nothing suspicious behind the two shoulders.

"Could it be that the white-faced monster escaped the moment the oil lamp flickered?" Wu Zhiyuan muttered in his heart, and after thinking about it, this explanation didn't make sense, if this was the case, then why did it want to escape? Is it still afraid that Wu Zhiyuan will not succeed?

Wu Zhiyuan sat by the pool and thought for a while, only to feel clueless and confused, so he simply stopped thinking about it, picked up the oil lamp and the wooden sword and walked to the rockery, jumped lightly, and jumped from the edge of the pool to the rockery.

The raised rocks on the rockery are waist-high, and the low ones on both sides are just to Wu Zhiyuan's knee joints, the material used in the rockery is by no means a stone, but its color hardness is no different from the stone, and the hands feel hard as a rock when grasping, but its surface seems to be a little soft.

Wu Zhiyuan remembered the legendary jade in the stone, that is, there is a piece of jade wrapped in the stone, the surface of this jade in the stone seems to be hard but not hard, saying that it is soft or not, and his mind is so far, Wu Zhiyuan was curious for a while, so he held the sword body of the wooden sword, and poked the raised mountain stone with the tip of the sword, wanting to see what material it was.

It poked it twice hard, and the mountain stone was unscathed, as if the wooden sword had no effect on it. Wu Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to it anymore, put away the wooden sword, and moved along the rockery towards the opposite side of the pool, just took a step, and suddenly felt that the rockery under his feet shook suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan held the lamp in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and he couldn't free his hand to grasp the raised mountain rock, and suddenly his body was unstable, and he fell into the pool.

Wu Zhiyuan's heart is not good, the water in this pool is so colored, the water quality must be extremely toxic, this is not to say, but the depth of the water in this pool is unknown, if the water is deeper than the top of people's heads, and he does not know the nature of water, I am afraid that if he is not poisoned by the poisonous water, he will drown in this pool.

When his mind was in chaos, Wu Zhiyuan subconsciously stepped on the bottom of the pool with his feet, and his heart was suddenly happy, the depth of the pool water was only up to his chest.

But under the step, Wu Zhiyuan also felt the same from the soles of his feet, what he stepped on was not a simple pool bottom, but it was very similar to stepping on a pile of metal utensils.

"Artifact!" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly understood in his heart, the bottom of this pool is all buried with the funeral vessels, no wonder the color of the pool water is black, it must be caused by the rust of the gold, silver, copper and iron artifacts at the bottom of the water.

Just by the feeling of stepping on his feet, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't determine what kind of funeral goods were at the bottom of the pool, but when his feet moved, all the things he stepped on were some irregular things, so it can be judged that there will be no fewer treasures at the bottom of the pool.

The Maoshan faction originally had a precept of poverty, and Wu Zhiyuan was not a greedy person, so these thoughts were only fleeting, and now it is better to climb ashore quickly and find the exit as soon as possible.

When he fell into the pool, the oil lamp in Wu Zhiyuan's hand still maintained a high posture, so the oil lamp was not extinguished, he held the rockery with his right hand, held the oil lamp with his left hand, and staggered towards the edge of the pool.

The rockery shook up and down, and the water surface suddenly rippled with a clear ripple.
