Chapter 230: Corpse Pool
"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and my heart twitched.
Xiaobai's body softened and let go of his mouth. I didn't have time to pay attention to the injury on my arm, so I opened Xiaobai's eyelids and looked at it first.
In order to make Xiaobai faint, I used a little more force, but it didn't break my neck, right?
"Squeak......" The rats didn't give me much time to react and rushed at me frantically.
The rats were so fast, and so numerous, that they swooped down like a tidal wave, almost drowning me. It's obviously not practical to use the fire exorcism, which would burn both of us.
"Gengjin Break!" A golden light flashed, and the air suddenly filled the air with the smell of blood.
Countless rats were killed by the power of Gengjin, but there was still a steady stream of rats rushing towards us. Fortunately, these rats don't attack us, which makes me worry a lot.
Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, or maybe it's psychological, I feel like my face and body are starting to itch.
No, I'm starting to get rat hair on my body, too!
A shaking god, Xiaobai disappeared! Those rats dragged Xiaobai to the depths of the burrow, and I couldn't help but curse myself, and quickly got up and chased after him.
At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the small problem of whether there is mouse hair on the body. I don't think we're both going to die here today and become food for rats.
Now I regret it a little in my heart, I knew that I shouldn't have knocked Xiaobai unconscious. Xiaobai, who fainted, is obviously a piece that can be slaughtered...... It should be said that it is the fat meat that is slaughtered by rats, and it has no ability to resist at all.
"Xiaobai, wake up!" I shouted as I chased, hoping that Xiaobai would wake up in time.
The passage was full of rats, and they were piled up to bury my knees. I had a hard time catching up, and I could almost kill a few rats with each kick.
The feeling of not being able to step on the ground was very insecure and slowed down my speed a lot.
At the same time, my heart is really heavy, how many rats are in this cave? Is it here that the whole mountain and even the whole mountain range are rats?
Although these are just ordinary rats, it is not easy for the two of us to escape from the rat nest. Just rushing out of a bloody path can make me weak and even exhausted.
What's more, who knows if there are other rat fairies underground? A fat rat has already tossed us enough, if another one appears, Xiao Baitie and I will have to be planted here.
During the chase, all kinds of messy thoughts appeared in my mind from time to time, and I would pray that the demon spirit Taoist would quickly find me and Xiaobai. After a while, I began to worry again, wondering if there were any other dangers underground.
Why did those rats take Xiaobai? If it's just food, the rats don't have to take that much risk.
What's the matter with the rat hair on my body and Xiaobai? Could it be that because of this rat hair, those rats did not attack us?
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I saw a bright light. Although the light was dim, I could barely see the situation inside the cave with the use of the Qi Seeking.
And there seem to be a lot fewer rats around, at least I don't have to kill a few rats every foot when I run and chase after me. Even the number of mice that carry Xiaobai has decreased, causing Xiaobai to move at a slower pace.
However, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my feet were empty, and I was once again in a state of weightlessness, and my whole body was suspended in the air. Looking at it, Xiaobai and I both flew up.
To be precise, the two of us are falling from a great height. No, there are still holes in the ground?
It happened so suddenly, I wasn't prepared for it, and I didn't have time to see what was going on around me. The only thing that is certain is that there seems to be a large crater here, and there is a faint light.
"Poof!" With a thud, I fell into the water.
It was a bonus, but luckily there was water down there, otherwise I would have choked on this height.
After falling into the water, I quickly reacted and struggled to surface. Xiaobai is still dizzy, I must find him as soon as possible.
But gradually, I noticed that my power seemed to be slowly disappearing. When I first fell, I was still able to pull and float to the surface.
After a few seconds, I was exhausted, but instead of floating, I was slowly sinking.
I could clearly feel that the longer I soaked in the water, the less energetic and even more tired I became.
I looked over the water, and it seemed to be a large space, in the shape of a circle. There are eight holes around the pool.
If I'm not mistaken, Xiaobai and I fell through one of the holes just now, and the water surface of this pool is at least ten meters high between the hole above.
I wondered, what the hell is this place? What kind of water is in this pool, and why does it feel so strange?
No, I can't sink down, I always feel like I'm going to die ugly. What's more, I have to find Xiaobai quickly, his situation is definitely more dangerous than mine.
I remember that Xiaobai also fell from it like me, but when I looked around, I didn't find any trace of him.
With a strong desire to survive, the five elements in my dantian began to react. A warm current welled up and swam through my body, making me feel comfortable.
However, I still didn't have the strength to control my body, and after a while, I suddenly remembered something very important.
I'm in the water now, but I can breathe freely and I don't feel like I'm going to suffocate. And the water here is very good, very clear, I can see through the water to see the situation outside.
Now I'm even more sure that the water here is strange.
"Poof!" With a bang, something fell into the water.
Could it be that Xiaobai just fell? I tensed my nerves instantly, and when I looked up, it was a corpse that had fallen!
The reason why it was obvious at a glance that it was a corpse in this case was mainly because the corpse's head had collapsed and its brain had burst.
After taking a closer look, I breathed a sigh of relief, this is not a small white, but why do I still look familiar?
Wait, I remember, this is one of the old men who fought against the evil corpse before, and he actually died?
Although the strength of the ancestor is very strong, but he did not kill in the battle, I estimate that those old guys will faint to death at most.
I was watching from the sidelines, and I remember very clearly, no one should have had his head blown out, how did he die?
"Puff ......" In the blink of an eye, another corpse was thrown down.
Yes, I counted, and none of the old men before were left behind, all of them were thrown down, and they died horribly.
"Ah......h
Are there any of these old guys alive? The old man who was alive also looked miserable, with a big hole in his chest, and he could faintly see his internal organs.
The old man struggled in the water, and seemed to want to surface quickly, but unfortunately he, like me, still slowly sank no matter how hard he tried.
Now it seems that not being able to float up is not my fault. Not only does this remind me of one of the legendary holy waters, Wakasui!
In Journey to the West, when Tang Seng and his entourage traveled to the quicksand river, there was this poem to describe the quicksand river.
"Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. ”
It is said that the biggest characteristic of weak water is that no matter what falls into the water, it cannot float and can only sink to the bottom of the water.
Could it be that this pool is the fabled weak water? I couldn't help but be shocked that this possibility is indeed possible.
It is recorded in ancient books that there is indeed weak water in the Northeast, and it is rumored that Heilongjiang is a weak water river. It's just that some things happened later, and it returned to normal.
This involves another legend, the origin of the name "Heilongjiang", which is also from this legend.
In folklore, Heilongjiang used to be called "Bailongjiang", and this vicious white dragon lived in the river, which has been making waves.
At that time, no matter what appeared on the Bailong River, it would sink to the bottom, and the ferry could not work. If a person or livestock falls into the river, they will disappear in an instant, never to be able to surface again.
In fact, the characteristics of the Bailong River in the legend are very similar to the weak water river, but the common people think that the white dragon is causing trouble and devouring people and animals.
Later, a black guy appeared by the river, named "Bald Tail Lao Li". His origin is mysterious, and after hearing about the strange situation of the Bailongjiang, he went into the water to fight with the white dragon for three days and three nights, and drove the white dragon out of the Bailongjiang.
Only then did people know that the bald-tailed Lao Li was actually a black dragon. It is rumored that his biological mother was washing clothes at the beach, and suddenly fainted and became pregnant, possibly the son of the Sea Dragon King.
Since then, the bald-tailed Lao Li has governed the river, so that the people along the river can survive on the river, and the wind and rain are smooth. In order to hurry up with the exploits of the bald tail Lao Li, this river is also called "Heilongjiang".
The authenticity of this story needs to be verified, although most of the folklore is false, but as long as the part that is mythologized is removed, a lot of true information can still be obtained.
I have doubted before, Heilongjiang is just an ordinary river, why is it called a "weak water river"?
There must have been some misunderstanding in this, maybe the "Bailongjiang" is really a weak river, and Heilongjiang and Bailongjiang have nothing to do with each other.
Now that I have encountered the legendary weak water, does it mean that I can find the "White Dragon River", if I absorb the power of the weak water to cultivate the power of the "Renshui Protective Body", I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
In a daze, the old man who was still alive was no longer sound. First, he really couldn't make a sound under the water, and second, with his injury, he might have hung up after struggling for a while, so I didn't pay attention to it.
But gradually, the water here became very muddy. The blood from the corpses contaminated the entire pool.
Glancing casually at the corpses, I was stunned, all of them looked badly decomposed, revealing their skeletons.
I shuddered and stared at the corpses with wide eyes, watching as they turned into skeletons at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the skeletons gradually disappeared and dissolved into the water.
After more than ten seconds, the water became clear again, but my heart was full of diaphragms.
This is especially weak water, this is clearly corpse water! A terrible guess flashed through my mind, could it be that the legendary weak water is the corpse water?
